It has been noticeable throughout the union that the cities and towns of the South have had remarkable growth in business, commerce and manufacture in the last decade. And it likewise was discovered that much of this. growth has been due to com mercial organization and the "pep" that comes from cooperation.
 It was not more than 10 years ago that the widespread use of commercial secretaries for municipalities was noted as factor in Southern growth. These men, paid by combinations of citizens, devoted all their time to pushing the claims of their municipal ities, and did so with such success that the idea was imported to North ern cities and towns.
 Of course, when the idea was new and the field not so thoroughly titled as now, it probably was easier tc achieve success. It stands as logical to assume that handful of such sec retaries could get better results than when a thousand were Ion the job Yet municipalities, like Pine Bluff find 1t decidedly advantageous to keer the commercial secretary in the field and results in plain dollars and cents seem to warrant it.

A NATIONS VOICE.
Vitality of Religion Shown by Result
 Council of Churches Appeal.

No more convincing demonstration of the vitality of religion in the United States could be found than the result of the appeals of the federal council of the Churches of Christ in America for systematic and continu- ous giving to the war relief funds in, this country. In every comnunitys whether church of one of the 30 denominations whiclY constitute, the federal council exists there are not, both secular and denominatiohal com mittees for var, relief are being formed.
 The effect of the federal councils first appeal, sent out on May 15 to 100000 ministers, did not stop with them and the 17,742,509 communicants under their charge: but seemed auto matically to create new atmosphere in the nation. In response to the. re- quest of many of the e;.repres sentatives 1 of the war relief organizations which have benefited by this new spirit of unselfishness and self ssacFiee aesscs ond appeal was sent otftt this month, but not to the churches alone.
 The second appeal was through the clergy to the entire people, but it also went direct to chambers of commerce, business mems associations, women's clubs and similar bodies, and to the mayors of cities and governors of states. Many public men, of all po- litical affiliations, have signified their approval of this movement. The na- tion has found voice in this largest inclusive body of it's kind in the world.
 No new war relief fund has been added to the existing organizations. The federal council acts only as a channel or clearing house, except in

THE CULTURED COW.

Among conventions more famed, that of prize COW breeders at Detroit is worthy of note because of it's use full objects and the interesting facts brought to light by the report of it's proceedings. It appears that prize COW is literally a thing of watchful and scientific culture, the standard be- ing far higher now than it was only a few years ago. One reads almost with amazement that mature COW of the highest grade can now produce more than A pounds of butter in week and more than 1,500 pounds in . year. Even two-year-old of the improved type can produce 31 pounds a week and 1900 pounds year. A New York cow of the surprising name of Ormsby Jane Segis Aggie yielded more than 35 pounds of butter fat ir one: week of 1915, and Duchess Sky ]Sfk Ormsby, a Wisconsin COW, made the record for that year of something over 1,205 pounds. Good butter, it j; statsd, is 82 per cent fat.

DIRT ROADS.

Dirt roads apparently are the most popular roads in the world. They are also the cheapest. Perhaps the one fact explains the other.
 There is little likelihood that the thousands of "side roads," which cor respond to side streets in cities, will be improved with hard surfaces in this generation. Folks have pretty big task cut out for them to get the main highways in proper shape, and rural ambition as yet does not go far beyond these. ,.7 '
 Dirt roads, even those in the worst possible shape, can be improved con- siderably with attention; but most of them lack it. Even an improved high way must receive constant attention to keep it in good order; and this be- ing the case, one cannot expect a dirt road to be at its best when neglected any more than an improved highway
 The dirt roads in Arkansas require better attention. The road, drag should be in more general use. One can never make dirt. road as. satis- factory as a brick pavement, but one can dc away with the ruts and elilhi. mate nalach of the dust and mud, as the case may be. .a

special cases. But many checks for distribution. to the various existing funds have come to it direct. Some of the contributions are in cash. q send you herewith $1.74 for Belgian war relief" wrote one man from liar lem, Ga. "You will please let me know if this goes right So can send again. The tattered bill and bat tered change which he enclosed: ar- rived miraculously intact. A minister and his wife wrote that, their entire monthlys income was $80. They sent $40, and promised to send that amount each month as long as it was needed. A Southern minister wrote that a widow of his congregation had "of- fered her little mite, which I have eked out to a dollar" Contributions have sranged as high as $2,4O0 and come from secular as well as religious bddies.i k < 4
 "All that has been giyeny" said Dr. Charles s. Macfarland, general secretary of the federal council, "h but drop in the bucket compared to the awful widespread misery in Eu- rope, and Asia.

PRESS COMMENT.
MEMPHIS GOES AHEAD.

Tuesday night of this week, the city of Memphis flatly refused the offer of the electric power corporations .ot that city to reduce the domestic price for electricity from ten to seven and a half cents. The Memphis city com. mission demanded a maximum rate of five cents. The utility corporations refused, and the city at once entered into contract with Engineer Fred erick w. Ballard of Cleveland to per feet plans for a municipal plant, to cost that city $1,50O,O0O. :, Engineer Ballard is the best hated electric engineer in the United States by the public utility trusts.

The same authority states that a quart of milk is equal in food value to IS cents worth of beefsteak, 24 cents worth of eggs or "A cents worth of chicken. The public wants meat and eggs just the same, but such information increases ones apprecla- ton of good milk. Such appreciation is not lacking, however. The value of milk both as food and as a stimulant is recognized in the armies of Europe. It was announced some months ago that milk was used to stimulate the French soldiers both before going into and after coming out of battle with results So highly favorable that the French government had given 1t pre- cedence to all other beverages behind the trenches.

Announcement was made Tuesday at
Rockland that the four-masted schoon-
er Northland had been sold to the
Northland Steamship Co., represented
by Charles w. Morse. The price paid
was 100000 and the new owners re-
ceive $4,000 more than that sum from
the first charter, which includes a
voyage to Greece. The schooner has
lately arrived at Philadelphia with a
cargo Of bones from Buenos Aires, aft
er a series of voyages lasting one year.
The craft was built by Cobb, Butler &
Co. of this city, 10 years ago, and at
tracted widespread attention as the
largest American coasting vessel
equipped with auxiliary power. The en-
CINE was subsequently removed, one
objection being the large crew which
it was necessary to carry. The North
land has a gross tonnage of 2047
