Gains By France

From the National Geographic Society
Roughly measured, the territory re-
gained from the Germans in France
siderably more than the area of the
state of Delaware. It's population
before the war was in the neighbor-
hood of half a million.
Within, the redeemed area are some
of the most interesting places in
France, notably Rheims, the place of
coronation for most of the kings of
France since the beginning of the
Capetian dynasty. The most famous
ceremony of this character to take
place here was the amounting of
Charles VII, after Joan of Arc had
driven the English from before the
city walls. 1t was here, too, that
Clovis was baptized on Christmas day,
in 496. Before the devastation
wrought by the present war the great
Rheims cathedral was considered by
many critics of architecture the most
beautiful structure produced during
the middle ages.
Amiens, with a population of ninety
thousand before the war. is next in
Importance among the salvaged cities.
It's cathedral, one of the most i'm
posing piles of Thirteenth Century
architecture in Europe, was scarcely
less famous than the one at Rheims.
1t was in this city that Peter, the Her
nit, the great preacher of the First
Crusade, was born. Since the war
the city's noted wooden, silk, cash
mere and velvet manufactures have
suffered greatly.
Arras, also reclaimed, was noted for
its wooden manufactures before the
war. In medieval days its tapestry
hangings were so famous that the
name of the city was adopted as a
common noun for draperies in Eng
land. Robespierre the revolution
list, was born in Arras.

TEARING rejection of the Admin

The modification consists of clause
which says the Government must sell

and 1t is shown that the trade is not
profitable. the lines must be aban-

RETAIL COAL PRICES

n ETAIL dealers predict big ad-
IN vances in coal as result of the
new scale of wages in the hard
coal regions. The Philadelphia Even
ing Ledgers mathematically inclined
editor isn't so certain that material
increases are necessary, unless the
dealers mean to use the wage raise as
an excuse for gouging their customers.
Says the Ledger:
Those men who are saying that
the wage increase granted to the
anthracite mine workers Will be
followed by necessary increase of
so cents a ton in the price of coal
would better do little figuring;
and Navigation Company, says that
the wage increase will add from
s1O,0o0,OO to s12,00O,OOO a year to
least 10 per cent. of this sum will
have to be paid by the consumer.
For convenience of computation
$1,000, 900 Pennsylvania produces
S1,000,000 long tons of coal in a
year. If the people have to pay
crease in the price would amount
to not more than a cent and half
a ton. II the people have to pay
the total wage increase, the extra
cost of coal would be only 121s
cents a ton. The retailer will have
to do a lot of explaining before he
can convince the consumer that an
increase of so cents a ton in the
price is fair.
But the chances are the operator
and the retailer will attempt nothing
of the sort. The public has no union
back of it to threaten a strike. II
must comply with the price decree
or use soft coal, as some no doubt will
do. The climbing price of anthracite
is rapidly putting it into the class OF
prohibitive luXuries.

We knew 1t would have to come.
The Pennsylvania State Editorial AS

adopted a resolution to increase the
price of one cent newspapers to two
cents throughout the State.
High cost of white paper, metal
and labor, scarcity of help-so many
having gone soldering or to work in
munition plants-and the rise of all
materials necessary to tho business
made the publishing of one cent pa

Church Advertising

"T believe" says DR.. Talcott
WilIisms that IL churches spent
as much for advertising as they
do for music, they would have
larger congregations and better
worship"
ar great causes were to spend
more money in the public press
instead of depending on begging
for their support they would un-
doubtedly come much nearer to
success"
Thought is moving in this di-
rection. The churches are using
more and better advertising while
many public movements have
been successfully carried on
through the advertising columns
of the daily newspapers.

LIQUORS SHARE

TOLLIER'S WEEKLY quotes the
~ following paragraph from The
Iron Trade Review and says 1t
teaches a temperance lesson:
1t was hot day. and one of the
water or milk to quench his thirst,
stole out between blows of the
steel to get a drink at nearby
saloon. Upon returning and taking
one of the handles he could not con-
troll his end of the ladle steady so
that the stream from the bottom
could pass directly into the gate
top of the flask and spattered the
metal in all directions. One man
was killed and two badly injured
1t is a temperance sermon, but 1t is
more than that. 1t is an illustration
of the manner in which the liquor
trade is collecting its profits at the
expense OF every other kind of busi-
ness in the land.
Doubtless the man who was killed
and those injured were all benefciaries
under workmen's compensation laws
Either their employer direct or his
insurance company had to foot the bill
of thousands of dollars incurred by
reason of these few midday drinks
The brewer or the distiller, however
made his profit and got off scot free
Yet there are those who wonder why
big business is so generally antago-
nistic to alcoholic indulgence and why

Never before have the people of
Arkansas had placed within their
grasp such a desirable piece of legis-
.lation as is amendment No. IA. This
amendment, if adopted will revolu-
ti6nize the road building of Arkan-
sas, if the people of the various coun-
ties desire good roads. This amend
ment provides a practical plan for
road construction. It provides a meth
cd by which the money paid into the
county treasury under the three-mili
road tax, may be converted into per-
manent highways and maintain them
This tax is now being collected, but
few counties can boast of any perma-
nent highways which have been con-
structed under it. Aand the great
beauty about it is that it will give
the counties roads right now, instead
of waiting for twenty years to get
them.

Says Well Folks
Don't Have Blues
This Interesting Article Explains
Causes and Tells How to
Prevent Them.

Doubtless there are days when you
feel blue and respondent; you are
lacking in energy, feel cross, anG
everything seems to go wrong. When
you wake il the morning You hate to
get up, as you feel tired, and would
like to lie in bed while longer. You
are not sick enough to need a doctor,
but you realize very forcibly that
you are not yourself. The above
symptoms invariably indicate that
your liver is not in healthy condi-
ton and should have your immediate
attention. The most modern medicine
for unhealthy livers or biliousness is
Lemolac, as it is not only pleasant
acting but very pleasant to take. Avoid
Calomel as it gripes, sickens and is
liable to salivate. Take a dose of
Lemolac tonight and wake UP feeling
fine. People who take Lemolac occa-
sionally. rarely ever feel blue or de-
spondent, and seldom need the aid OF
a physician, as most of our ailments
are caused from an inactive liver.
Lemolac is sold by Central Pharmacy,
Pine Bluff, Ark, and all druggists UNI
der a positive guarantee to give good
satisfaction, so you cannot lose by CIV
ing it trial.
p. S.-If you forget the name spell
calomel backward.

NATIONAL PROSPERITY
INCREASINGG.

Reports from the industrial CEN
tiers indicate very clearly that the
great tidal wave of prosperity has
not yet reached it's zenith but is ris-
ing higher and higher. The stock Of
the great steel corporation capitalized
at nearly $2,OOO,OOO,O0O, larger cor
poration than the Standard Oil, has
gone above par, and has reached the
highest point in it's history. The rail
roads are showing increasing earn
ings, and industries in every line are
flourishing as never before.
The people of the United States
would be most uawise to turn Presi-
dent Wilson out of office, who has not
only kept us out of two wars, but
whose wise craftsmanship has contri-
buted so largely to our present flour
lshing condition. If Mr.. Hughes
should be elected it would be an UNI
paralleled calamity, as it would start
the Republicans "tinkering with the
tariff" as they have pledged them
selves in their platform to repeal the
Underwood tariff bill, which would
cause a depression of business for
one AID possibly two years, as tariff
tinkering always does.
However, the good sense of the
American people can be depended up
on to let we'll enough alone, for as
soon as the war ends, our trade with
Germany and Austria which has been
lost to us during the war, will be
resumed at once, and which is twice
as large as our trade in munitions of
war has been so with Wilson retain
ed in the white house prosperity of
the country is assured for many years
to come.

THE WHY. OF THE $50.

Within the last decade or two the
countryside in agricultural and stock
raising districts has seen the cree
ton of round, gaunt structures that
we know as silos.
When attempts were first made to
introduce them they were ridiculed
by farmers and others who didn't be-
lieve in new-fangled notions
1t was the old story of prejudice
and ill-wind against new methods.
American farmers are not like the
people of China and elsewhere in the
Orient, however. There is certain
amount Of prejudice in their makeup
against upsetting well-established
principles of management a1d agri-
cultural methods.
They are from Missouri part of the
time, but not all the time.
So that the silo, by proving it's
value, is here to stay.
Those who have adopted" the silo
in Jefferson county have found that it
does several important things. These
are: Provides increased storage ca
pacity for feeds; makes it possible to
keep a larger number of animals on
a smaller area of Ind; makes beef
and milk production more profitable;
helps to maintain the fertility of the
soil.
That certainty should be enough to
expect from one farm improvement!
And just think how many other
farm improvements have made their
appearance in the last twenty years.
The more silos there are in Jeffer-
son county and in this section of
Arkansas the more the evidence is
accommodating that our soil tillers are
no longer from Missouri regarding al
self-evident necessity of efficient
farming.

Peel Off Your Freckles

To remove freckles, blotches or any
complexion difficulty, the best thing
to do is to remove the skin itself.
This is easily and harmlessly done
by the application of ordinary merco-
lied wax. The wax peels off the de-
fective outer skin, a little each day,
gradually bringing the second layer
of skin to view. The new skin is
beautifully soft, clear, white and
young looking. Just procure an ounce
of mercolized wax at any drug store
and use like cold cream. Adv.

Tampa, Fla, Foundry and Machine
company, announced that his concern
