FOOD PRICES TRIPLE
 IN HUNGARY IN YEAR
Although Agricultural Country, Hun. gary Experiencing Greater Food
 Shortage Than Austria.

Vienna, Jan. 22.-Hungary is dis tinctly agricultural country and ev- cry year exports a great surplus or food products of all kinds. Despite this fact the food prices since the beginning of the war have risen much higher in Budapest than either in Vi- enna or Berlin. .s
 According to official statistics the price of beef has jumped 231 per cent in the Hungarian capital during the last year. Pork is 1S6 per cent high CT than on December 1,1914. sausage 173, bacon 326, lard 419 and butter 45O per cent. This means that all foods cost twice as much in Budapest as in Berlin or the Austrian capital. "A Budapest family whose grocery and meat bills formerly amounted to s4.5O a week now needs SIP for the same purpose. The enormous in- crease of the cos. of living has been caused, it is charged, by the greed of spectators.

GRANT COUNTY FOLK
 STAND FOR PROGRESS
Great "Walk Over'' Achieved by Ad-
 yGca'Hs of Good Roads in Primary Thursday.

Good roads advocates and workers in this and other counties are highly elated over the fact that in the pri- liary elections held in Grant county Thursday, great "walk-over" was achieved by those candidates who were straight out in favor of the en- forcement of the Posey act of the last legislature, through which act good roads district was formed of all Grant county, for the building of road across the county.
 The roads district will be seven miles wide and bonds aggregating $160,OOO have already been issued for the building of the road, the bonds having been purchased by Judge James Gould of this city. Locally, and in this section, the matter is of unusual interest, because the road across Grant county is an important link in the big turnpike between Pine Bluff and Hot Springs, an airline via Malvern.
 The fight was concluded in the pri mary elections Thursday, and was on the question of bringing about a repeal of the law at the next session of the legislature. It is stated that every candidate was defeated, who favored the repeal of the law. The fight centered in the race for repre- sentative, which resulted in the nomi- nation of Eric Ross over Isaac Nc Clellan.
 It is confidently believed here that the road will be completed and ready for use by the people of the county, before the opening of the next win ter season. The road will extend from the Jefferson county line near Doylestown to Sheridan, about i'll the center of Grant county, thence west to the Hot Spring county line.

WlNKERsHAM CONDEMNS |. 5. MILITARY METHODS
Former Attorney. General Declares Military Service Duty, Legally
 and Morally.

Washington, Jan. 22.-George W. Wickersham, ex-attorney general, strongly condemned past and present American military methods in an elo- quent appeal for preparedness before the National Security scong:ess here this evening.
 The bounties in land and money paid volunteers for enlisting, and the pension system which fastens on the nation burden of $160,000,00O a year fifty years after the close of our last great war, form a dark page of our history, he said.
 Yet these are the inevitable pro- ducts of our popular theory (anl that of the English) that military service is not duty. Military service is a duty, legally and morally, MT. Wick ersham showed. s'
 While admitting that universal con- scription cannot now be brought about, MT. Wickersham said, this fact only throws into deeper relief the pitifulness of our present position and is an added argument for the modest administration defense program.

Why We Lose Our Jobs An Article by Negro Containing Excellent Hints for =a: Negroes.

shach into a better looking house. Watch them open a little store and Cater to Negroes who have been here Ter fifty years. And then watch them go tc the bank, bank operated by people of their own nationality, if you please, and see them file in tiere and put away their little earn ings. Watch all of these things and yQu will see that these people are enta their jobs. People of this type will make it in any country.
 The average Negro comes North n an excursion. He comes North to make money to dress. He comes North to have a good time. Do you wonder that peope with Such ideals and ambitions lose their jobs?
 We have lost our jobs because we promised to come to work but did net show up or we went off and did not say that we were coming back. Peo- pie do not want moral towards even in their kitchens.
 We have lost our jobs because we didn't half do the linens, or scented it up with the "delicacies of our tables" and expected the people to be pleased.
 We have lost our jcbs because Cur l.aders did not have sense enough to help us keep them. They did not kEow that first-class cook is far more valuable than second rate school teacher, and that One sure elcugh farmer is worth more than fifty jack-legged preachers.-Worker.

SOLDIERS ORGANIZE
 SCHOOLS FOR POLISH

wig. who was a school teacher in Nassau before the war broke out, writes to the "Allgemeines Schul- blatt," an educational monthly puo- lished at Wiesbaden:
 "We are stationed in small town cast of Warsaw and have very little to do, as we are far behind our front. Recently I received orders to organ ize school for the children of taa town. After several conferences with the local authorities I started my work, using the vacant residence of a wealthy lumber dealer who had fled to the interior of Russia, for school house. In storage house I found a number of benches, which formerly had done duty in Jewish private school and I also procured black board and few other necessary things.
 "The children of the town, most Of whom never had been inside of a school house, were notified by the po- lice that they would have to present themselves for instruction. About two hundred boys and girls between the ages of six and fourteen years appeared and they were sorry look ing lot.
 "With dirty faces and unkept hair the boys noisily rushed into my I'm. proyised hall of learning. Most of ttem wore fur caps that had been left behind by Cossacks and their prinod- nal garments were large fur coats.
 Although the ground was frozen many of the boys wore no shoes, while the footwear of the others con sisted of old knee boots that once belonged to father or mother.
 "The girls, at least few of them, were not quite so dirty. Some even had combed their hair, but their dress consisted Of all kinds of old cast-off garments of adults and only . few wore stockings. Only the Jewish girls were really tidy ana their intelligent faces and neat ap- pearance distinguished them faWor- ably from the rest of the crowd.
 "It was almost impossible to Keel the children quiet, but l finally sue, ceeded in getting their attention and started to divide them into classes with the aid of a sergeant Whc sneaks Polish. Most of the Jewish children understood at least some German and I organized them into srecial class which I am instructlne myself. About forty Polish and Rus sian boys and girls who have recelv. ed some instruction in prlVats schools, were taken in charge py Lieutenant Harbeck, who is trying ee educate them with the help or ou' Polishlspeaking sergeant. .The rest of the children, aboul lore hunderd were turned over 10 pol;sh woman teacher who has Dee1 on gagged by us. These youngsters have practically grown up wild ant thew can only be given kindergarten insfr.- ton at present, although maAs of tl h. are twelve and ronrteeI wears old.
