NEW YORK. November 25-Messages
of good will from the chancellories of
three of Europe's warning powers were
read at dinner given here last night
by the League to Enforce Peace. The
purpose Of the banquet was to con-
slider program for permanent league
Of nations at the close of the great con-
f1ict.

was given by Aristide BRAND. premier
of France; Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg of Germany and Viscount
Grey, Great Britain's secretary Of state
for foreign affairs.
Premier Brands message said:
Il have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt Of your communication. the con-
tents of which have noted with lively
interest. In basing your effort on the
fundamental principles of respect Tor
the rights and wishes of the various
peoples of the world. you are certain
Of being on common ground with the
countries which. in the present conn1ct.
are giving their blood and their re-
sources. without counting the cost. to
save the independence of the nations.
Voice of Britain.
From Viscount Grey the following
message was received:
II think public utterances must have
already made it clear that I sincerely
desire to see league of nations
formed and made effective to secure
future peace of the world after this
war is over. I regard this as the best.
If not the only, prospect Of preserving
treaties and of saving the world from
aggressive wars in years to come. If
there is any doubt about my senti-
ments in the matter, hope this tele-
gram in reply to your own will re-
move it"

Said Robert; But father is bchinr

Robert was pfeved at his parent and
argued. Finally Robert blurted out:
Dad. you mean we'll, but you're be-

Then Mary, the peace maker, said
this: "Son, you're unkind to your

science of wasting nothing. There
was a time, he said, when the parts
of cattle were wasted and the hc2lth
of the city injured by the refuge.
But later, by adopting the best
known methods, it was found that
nothing need be wasted and buttons,
glue, fertilizer and other things arc
now made from what was formerly
waste material. This is the very es-
sence of thrift, and should and could
be practiced in every business office
and every home. 1t makes the saw
ing of money possible.
Mr.. Armour said he considered the
turning point in his career the time

in the gold fields There will be a
turning point i'll the career of every

TWO BRANDS OF CHIVALRY.

Mrs. f. Z. Sanders will run as an
independent candidate for school di-
rector in Eseambia county, Fla. Seems
to be a difference in the value of
Florida and of Mississippi women. In
two of the Florida cities women have
been trusted with the municipal ballot,
and are eligible in the entire state for
any office on school boards. Mis-
sissippi holds a different estimate of
its women. When in the legislature it
was proposed to make women eligible
tional boards, and suggested that they
might exert a purifying influence on
politics Mississippi legislator re-
torted, will hog purify a wallow ?"
Quite a difference between Florida
and Mississippi brands of chivalry;
surely it is not difference in the
women of these states.

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
By S. w. STRAUS
Prssident Amfriean Society for Thrift

cry person in Canada would save ten
cents day, there would be a total
of $250,00O,O00 saved in a year.
Some people cannot save ten cents
a day but almost every one can save
a little by doing that in personal
spending which is done in any well
conducted busincss-putting a stop
to waste.
All things are harder for the adult
to learn than for the child, even
economy. The parents, thereto
should teach economy to the child.
George Washington said, Economy
makes happy homes and sound ma
tons. Instill it deep" Children
should be taught to be economical in
the matter of what they eat. They
will thus be taught to save their
health. They should be taught to
economic in the matter of spending
-the uselcssness and perisl1ableness
of most of the things they would like
10 buy, the advantages of savings
account and the feeling of security it
brings. Children thus taught make
good citizens-frugal, clear-headed
and steady.
The members of the Congregations
al Church in Fort Dodge. Iowa, were
probably taught economy i'll their
youth and were teaching it i'll turn
to their children for whei, they de-
cidcd to build new $4,000 church
they formed the nucleus of their furd
by placing barrels or the street cor
ncrs and requesting residents to de-
post junk, rags, old iron, rubbers and
bottles-in them. One Sunday
school class raised $500 alone on
the sale of old paper.

"GlVING MOTHER \ DAY OFF,

Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it. Tha,

But don't you remember the old
adasc that, "A man works from sun
to sun, but a woman's wofk is never

twentieth century.
1t is true that lots cf women have
plenty of spare time on their hands.
And most of these make good us Of
it. They belong to clubs, are iten i
fled with civic movements, and 30
more than their share toward the b.
terment of civilization.
But they are comparatively few in
number. Most women are virtual
slaves in their homes Too m len is
expected of them. They have been
told hundreds OF times how to "save
steps, how to be more efficient"-.-
which usually means how to do more
Work-and how to work to better ad-
vantage to themselves. their children,
and the lords of the manor.

IDAHO JURYWOMEN.

A jury composed entirely of women
recently served in the Boise ldaho)
District court OF the venire of "a
women which was called, but one
asked to be excused The case for
which the woman jury was summoned
involved the sale of needlework store.
In addition this panel of women was
called to sit on the next case on the
calendar. which considered an intricate
transaction in the sale Of sheep and
the com mission to be decided affect
ing the sale. There were two actions
of similar nature, and the jury rem
dered a verdict denying the commits
sion none case and allowing it in the
other. The judge and attorneys stated
that the women jurors gave closer at
tention to the cases than is customary
with mems juries. Among the occupa-
lions Of the jurywomen were teacher,
fruit rancher, farmer, stenographer,
merchant and seamstress.
This is not the first instance of
women jurors, as there have been
mixed juries of men and women in
Justice courts in several of the states
where women vote, and in every in
stance the verdict has been acceptable.
Many cases involving children's and
women's interests would do vastly bet
ter if women were among the jury.
Nor need jury duty be unpleasant.
Men are excused for many reasons
physicians, lawyers, clergymen, sol
diers, teachers-and various other en-
ploycd men are excused from jury
service, and these same exemptions
would apply to women who did not
wish to serve. But there is host of
intelligent women whose clean think
ing and high principle would be a
distinct addition to the juries of our
courts.

Dallas, Texas, is now considerably
worked up over a proposal to limit by
ordinance. the height of buildings.
Pine Bluff has not yet been threatened
with this kind of a row, and if the

probability that such an ordinance
will ever be needed here is very, very

One of Pine Bluffs oldest and big
Sest merchants, asked if he is op-
posed to an interurban line, declared
Certainly not. Any kind of rail
road is sure to help Pine Bluff. If 4

ought to move There's wisdom in
that sentence. and the man who ut
tered it showed he stands for a
square DEAF for everybody.

STATES RIGHTS SOUTHERN
WOMEN.

Delegates of Southern women will
so to ST. Louis in June to request the
National Democratic party to inc0r-
porate in it's platform a plank adj
vocating the ballot for women, by the
states rights method. This action
would in no way interfere with pres
sent qualifications in state constitu-
tons, and would place Southern wom-
en- on an advantageous plane with
those of the II states where women
now have the vote.

ROsPERITY
FEAR AND THE FRANCHISE.

If the opposition TO the franchise
Tor the Hot Springs, Pine Bluff 4
mississippi railroad is based. as many
say 1t is. on the fear that the road
is to be nothing more than an inter
urban line between Pine Bluff and
Little Rock it would be a simple mat
ter to add a clause providing that the
franchise giants should not be effec-
tive unless the railroad operated,
within a reasonable time, between Hot
Springs. Pine Bluff and the Missis-
sippi river.
The Graphic is not inclined to take
much stock in the expressed fear
that the purpose of Mr.. Blanchard
and his associates is to build only an
inte,urban line. Mr.. Blanchard has a
reputation for achievement. and those
who know the man and are familiar
With his connections declare thai he
can and will do anything he promises
to do. Several weeks ago. in an inter
view with The Graphic. Mr.. Blanch-
ard candidly explained his purpose.
He made no glowing promises. nor
did he attempt to mislead in any way
His attitude was that of the substan-
tial. careful business man, instead of
that of the promise nything- to-ge,-
whatl-want promoter. he said at the
time it was his intention to build y.
road from Hot springs to the Mssis,
sippi river. by way OF Benton, Wood
son and Pine Bluff. and with an en-
tension from Woodson to Little Rock;
that at the beginning interurban cars
would be operated during the day and
freight trains at night. Mr. Blanch-
ard stated the road would connect at
the Mississippi river with a barge line
to be operated between st. Louis or
Chicago and New orleans.
At that time. Mr.. Blanchard's plans
were tentative and he so stated Since
then, he has spent $4,000 or $4,000
surveying route between Hot
Springs and the Mississippi river hav-
Ing several crews at work.
Mr.. Blanohard's statements, and the
manner in which he has proceeded
does not indicate that he plans to do
aught but what he says: build rail
road from Hot Springs to the Missis-
slppi river. by way OF Benton. Wood
son, Pine Bluff and Dewitt.
MIR. Blanchard is not man without
standing. He has strong backing. and
the documents to prove it, Local
bankers have been Informed of Mr.
Blanchard's rating and business
sanding. He has made business of
railroad building. and was the man

building OF the extension of the NJ. d
