TWO SIDES QUES-
 TON DISCUSSED
lane Addams, Advances Theory that Ultimate Outcome of Eu- ropean War Will Be Reduction in World Armament.

Washington, Jan. 13.-Two sides of the military preparedness problem were heard today by congressional committees. Miss Jane Addams, pres ident of the Woman's Peace Society of America, urged the house and senate military committees to make no in crease in the army, at least until the European war was over, saying the preparedness movement was due to panic on account of the war.
 When she left the committee room Major General Bliss, assistant chief of staff, resumed his statement as a military expert in favor of the army plans. Miss Addams agrued that it would be foolish to build more dread naughts until it was known whether they were of any use, and suggested to the house committee that a com- mission be created to study army and navy efficiency and to look into the interests and motives of those urging heavier armament for the nation; that preparations against a hypothetical enemy was needless, and the United States should be prepared to lead, with clean hands, the movement for reduc- tion of armaments, which she thought must follow the great war.
 Committeeman asked Miss Addams if she had not supported former President Roosevelt, and then called attention to his recent utterances or the need of preparedness.
 He was not talking like this then, Miss Addams replied. "There was nothing of the sort in our platform It is my sober judgment that he does not speak for any large body of peo- pie"
 General Bliss told the house com mittee that American plants could build 200 aeroplanes a month and there was no immediate necessity of increasing this fleet except to equir the new proposed squadrons. He be lieved balanced organization, with
 
 proper proportions of all arms of the service, was the vital need of the army.
 Replying to question Genera Bliss said it was impossible to de termine the relative value of the navy coast artillery or the mobile army 1T any plan of defense.
 Tt would be as easy" he said, "tC decide which was the most necessary to the body, the heart, lungs or the brains,' He argued in behalf of thC war department plan to add a number of new regiments to the army to make up the skeleton formations of the thre, infantry divisions contemplated a:

PIANO TUNING
D. L. McRae,
 Acting Chairman.

E. B. Hendricks is quite competent to tune or repair your piano. He re- gently tuned and repaired two of the large pipe organs in Little Rock. He tunes the large Orchestrioa at the Royal Theatre twice month. He tunes for many of the leading teachers and musicians of our Capitol and other cities. He tunes for Henderson Brown College and the Pritchard Pia- no Co.,, of Little Rock.
 Much of his work in Prescott thus far has been repair work on pianos that had become amazingly bad.
 No money is saved by neglecting a piano. Most pianos need tuning twice a year.
 Can the mice get into your piano ? Then have it mouse proofed. How about moths? They eat the felts.
 Don't neglect your piano. Better be on the safe side. Have E. B. Hen dricks tune your piano. His work is always best and is always guaranteed. Tramp tuners, drunkards, dope users, etc. should never touch your piano. 1t costs no more-indeed costs far less, everything considered-to have your work done by reliable tuner. Phone 162 or your music teacher.

SUGGESTIONS FOR PAR.
 GEL POST MARKETING
Government Issues Bulletin EX-
 plaining Rates and Measure
 ment Limits for Parcel Post Matter-Types of Containers.

Washington, D. C., Jan. 14.-The farmer who wishes to sell his pro- ducts by parcel post, and the house. wife who wishes to use this method of securing country produce for her table, will find many useful points in Farmers Bulletin 703, Suggestions bulletin, in addition to explaining the postal rates and measurement limits for parcel post matter, discusses in some detail the types of containers which are most successful and the methods of grading and packing pro- duce, so that it will reach the con- sumer in good condition, and be at tractive in quality and appearance. In treating standards for parcel post shipments, the bulletin tells how to select, handle and pack poultry, and how to grade and pack the various fruits and vegetables which the aver age farmer is likely to market through the post office.
 The bulletin points out that one of the common obstacles to establishing parcel post communication between farmer and consumer is that the farm CT may be unwilling to offer goods at price which attracts the customer, or that the consumer may offer a price lower than the farmer can obtain at local market. To quote the bulletin:
 Not only must the farmer have something additional to the usual price to compensate him for the extra work, container, and postage required, but the consumer must also have something to attract him to market ing by parcel post. In determining what the price shall be, both the farm price and the retail price paid by the consumer when he markets in the or dinary way should be taken into con sideration. The consumer must re- ceive either better article at the usual retail price or an article of the grade usually purchased at some con cession in price.
 ''It is probable that the point which will make the strongest appeal to the average consumer is that he can se- cure by parcel post fresher, brighter more attractive, and thus possibly a better product than he can obtain otherwise.
 "The average producer, as rule does not realize the importance of ap- pearance as a factor in selling goods and frequently is careless and indif- ferent in preparing produce for mar ket. The consumer, on the other hand, relies very largely upon ap- pearance in selecting food supplies and unattractive articles are passed by promptly.
 1 "A personal acquaintance should be established between producer and con- sumer, when they come into businss contact. This will help a great deal in furthering parcel post marketing, and also will eliminate many of the misunderstanding which may occur from time to time. A definite under standing should exist as to the duties of each in regard to remittances, claims for damaged or spoiled pro duce, and the preservation and return of containers"
