Clifford Pinchot, late member of the
Bull Moose party and previous there
to benefactor of the G.. o. p, has
communicated to us his intention OF
voting and working for Mr.. Hughes -
It's all right with us, Gift, old boy;
all right with us. Only we can't
reconcile your attitude four years ago
with that you've now adopted. The
G o. P. today is the same old G. o. p.
You and your erstwhile chiaf said
such awful things about in 1912. Until
now we thought you were sincere and
honest in expression of opinion, but
that conclusion has received an awful
jolt. If you are sincere now you were
insincere in 1912, and if you were sim
cere then you are insineere now.

Homemade Varnish.

A simple recipe for good varnisk
suitable for table tops is as follows
Mix enough lampblack with shellac
to make the mixture black, but not
enough to thicken it much. After sand
paperng the wood smooth, apply two
coats of varnish, sandpapering lightly
after each coat. Over this put one
or two coats of dull varnish. This
makes the wood waterproof, preserves
it, and improves the appearance of the
table top.

AMENDMENT NO IA.

The proposed constitutional amend
ment No. IA has no objectiona BILE
features, and engineers, lawyers and
road builders have pronounced it
They state it is panacea for road
improvement ills.
This amendment merely gives the
counties of the state, at special or
regular elections, to decide whether
or not they will vote three mill tax
for period Of two years, for period
o. any number OF years up to thirty,
o. no. tax at all. There is nothing
comp4lsatory about the amendment.
The voter has first and last say, and
if a majority does not want it, it
cannot be forced upon them.
Every county in the state now votes
three mill tax for two years. This
money is spent upon the roads of the
county, but with the exception of
two or tire of the largest counties, no
permanent work can be done. The
amendment provides that the counties
may vote the tax for period Of
thirty, or less years. Two year
bends could not be issued, but thirty
or even ten Or twenty year bonds
would be much in demand. This would
give large sum for building perma-
nent roads.
The maintenance of roads thus
built would be cared for by re-
serve fund, through free labor, and
interest On sinking fund, if one
should be created. Dirt roads, which
could not be permanently improved
would be cared for as they are now
by the free labor system.
The only change brought about by
the proposed amendment, is that it
would give counties Of the state per-
manent highways, which today have
none, and never will under the pres
ent plant of voting a two year tax.

|duty it is to lead in movements that
mean greater prosperity and better
conditions, are evincing little inter
est. This has been noted by the Com
|mercial, for it says:
"There has recently been lack or
interest in preparing the exhibit for
tie Arkansas Oh Wheels train. Is * y
The various organizations must CO.
operate to make the plan success.
Every interest must be represented,
and the county must be well and thor
oughly represented Or not at al :"
There is no question but that the
county and city will be well and thor
oughly represented Il the proper
spirit is displayed. Through the far
sightedness and progressiveness Of the
county judge and the lumber inter
ests two exhibit spaces have been ar
ranged for. Pine Bluff is thus re-
ceiving aid accorded to but few cities
that will be represented on the train.
Can Pine Bluff afford to have it said
that it's commercial and business in
situations are so progressive they
would not exert the effort required to
take advantage of this great oppor-
tunity for profitable publicity even
after the county has agreed to invest
$3.50 and the lumber interests have
arranged to handle the industrial ex
individually offering Pine Bluff
two exhibits free, and leaving the
city's commercial and business insti
tutions to arrange only for aid in as
the exhibits and advertising
matter to be distributed along the
route.
Consideration will convince that
Pine Bluff, as rich as it is, cannot af-
ford to have this said of its people.

Newspapers may always be depend
ed upon to cooperate in any move
ment intended to further the inter
ests of the community in which they
are published Another demonstra-
ton of this fact is an editorial in
Saturdays issue of the Pine Bluff
Commercial, which has come out in
support of the project to have JEFF
ferson county and Pine Bluff repre-
scented on the Arkansas on Wheels"
train, project The Graphic has been
urging steadily since the proposition
was first advocated by Secretary
Bloom of the chamber of commerce
several months ago, when County
Judge Philpot promptly promised that
the county would do it's part.
The movement received a back
when the city council found it could
not extend financial aid, and nothing
more was done toward having the city
represented until several weeks ago
when Commissioner Taylor OF the
Traffic bureau enlisted the aid of the
lumber interests to the extent that
they agreed to defray the cost of an
industrial exhibit.
The question is now simply one OF
providing the exhibits and the proper
\ tCi,& to
personal work of those who will be
il charge of the exhibits. Capt. S. F.
Hilzheim, who was in charge of the
Cotton Belts booth at the Chicago
worlds fair and one of the best-post-
to handle the county's exhibit if the
necessary aid is forthcoming to en-
able Jefferson county to make the
showing it should.
The Pine Bluff chamber of COM
instructed it's executive committee to
cooperate with the county judge and
tAC luI1UCl iItCiCSlo W iIdNC lAC COuH
ty and city's advantages properly pre-
scented. to the end that new people
new money and neew industris might
b attractd to this section.
Just now the matter appears to be
as the lawyers would say, in statu
quo-eatirely because Of lack OF CO..
operation upon the part of those who
should lead in such movements ana
those who derive most benefit from
further development Of the county.
1t is unfortunate that the example
of the newspapers in cooperating for
the good of the community is not fol-
lowed to greater extent by other
enterprises; that directors of other
institutions do not display the broad
Hipffdpess exhibited by the pub
llkAe IS Of the newspapers.
In this instance, the newspapers are
fouad urging representation on the
Arkansas on Wheels train, because
it is certain that such investment will
yebcuud to the benefit Of the county
and city. Other institutions, whose

Nothing Will Be Left Undone
For Convenience of En-
deavor Delegates

Plans for the coming Christian En-
deavor State Convention to be held in
this city July 11-14 as announced by
the general committee at Christian

indicate that nothing will be left un-
done for the comfort and convenience
of the incoming delegates. During

Gust streets. The decorating and halls
committees under the direction of A.
j. Lightner and H. w. Keitel, chair
men, will construct and arrange
booths in the convention hall the
Chestnut Street auditorium, for the ac-
commodation of the registration, in
formation and entertainment COM
mittees so that the delegates upon
arrival will find all their needs sup
piled under one roof. Booths will also
be prepared for the exhibit of the
Christian Endeavor
Bulletin" the State paper, for the
contention press committee, and for

Anne confessed; Frances and 7
were planning to go out for dinner
tonight. Effie has been home i'll

cook for us, and we haven't enjoyed

Ought we to go out anywhere

I'm afraid Frances might call up
or something
Perhaps we could call up some
where and have them send in some
thing hot. Is there a restaurant or
hotel anywhere near?"
Yes, there's one around the cor
ner, we might try that OH" and
Anne jumped nervously. That's the
bell, Helen, I'll go. l wonder who
that can be?"
Helen followed Anne into the hall
and stepped forward eagerly when
she saw who it was.
Why, Warren Curtis, I'm so glad
did you get here so soon? 1t

said briskly. Didn't feel like having

happy in weeks. She glowed all
over at the thought that Warren
really needed her and had come to

to the Elliott to see if they

thing when you are finished I

'I should say not" said Warren

"We'n have everything ready when
you get back"
"All right. it won't take me a
minute. Gee, I quite enjoy the
prospect of dining picnic style like
this" And with good-natured
and reassuring grin at Anne, who
looked embarrassed and was in
reality afraid of Warren, he was
gone.
The two women got the table
ready and brought out dishes War
ren came back in about ten min
utes followed by a waiter who car
ried a tray covered with mysterious
looking covered plates.
Helen and Anne made merry over
the affair and after the waiter had
been dismissed with the order to
return in an hour, they gleefully
began to arrange the eatables on
the table.
Anne laughed whole heartedly at
one of Warrens sallies, and Warren
insisted upon beer for all three. It
would have been a great party,
Helen though, If the shadow of
Frances trouble had not hung too
heavily over the hearts of both Anne
and herself.

estlng series will appear here soon.

THEIR MARRIED LIFE"

Helen turned to Anne after Frances
had left to go to Carp.
Won't you go home with me for
dinner, dear?"
NO, I don't think I ought to,
Helen. Frances will need some one
when she comes back and I ought
to be here"
But not alone - don't you want
to telephone Jack to come down."
Jack is out OF town."
Then I'll stay"
really Warren won't like it a bit"
Warren will have to like it -
that's all there is to it. I don't
do thing of this kind often, and
tonight there is nothing else 1
could do and feel at all right about
it."
Anne made no other objection.
she hoped Helen would stay. Fran
ces had unnerved her a little, and
she had no idea how she would be
when she returned. Anne was a
little bit afraid of Frances some
times, when she was temperamental
Frances was always different when
she wrote.
She even admitted afterward that
she didn't blame Anne a bit for
hating her. Once AnIfe had asked
her a question when she was deep
in thought, and she had turned on
the younger girl fiercely, blind with
sudden, uncontrolled anger. And
yet Frances could be as gentle and
terder as he simplest woman at
times. Every one who loved her
knew that.
TN call up Warren" Helen said,
conscious that Anne was nervous.
I
phone and sat down before the lit
tie table. She hardly knew what
Warren would say. She hoped that
he would take it all right, but he
was just as apt to be disagreeable
as not. Not for the world would she
have admitted such a thing to Anne,
however. and she gave the number
with perfect nonchalance.
Warren himself answered.
Hello, dear, this is Helen. I am
down at the apartment with Anne.
Yes, I am going to stay down here
for the evening, Warren. Avery At
wood has been hurt and Frances has
gone to him. Yes, Anne is alone and
I think I ought to be with her when
Frances comes back"
Warren Asks Questions
Warren muttered something about
not understanding why Frances was
needed in the case of an accident to
avery Atwood, Helen never told
Warren Frances secret, for she did
not think he would understand and
she would not have dreamed of tell
ing a confidence to Warren under
any conditions.
HE was asking for her, dear.
They are good friends, you know"
We'll, is Anne afraid to stay
alone? Where's Jack?'
Helen hated to answer the last
question for fear that Anne would
feel hurt and insist upon Helen's
leaving. Why couldn't Warren un-
derstand just once!
Warren was plainly disagreeable
at the prospect of having dinner
alone. and Helen. after a few more
remarks, was forced to ring off or
else betray to Anne that Warren
thought it was all lot of foolish
ness.
WAS he nice about it?" Anne
questioned. "I know he thinks I am
perfectly idiotic to need you, Helen,
and 1 feel selfish"
Not at all. Mr.. Curtis would have
been selfish not to understand. Now,
