The High Cost of Living
And the Wave of Prosperity

Most of us have been considerably wor-
ried over the soaring price of gasoline We
may not run an auto, nevertheless, the cost
of gasoline has been extraordinary excit-
ing.
Most of us have actually felt the high
cost of beef, and we have complained every
time we went to market, or sent the butcher
a check. And we have all heard the awful
warning thatethe price of meat may never
again come down within the reach of al"
Nevertheless, times are good, there is
work for all and regular pay, and in many
cases higher pay.
More men have work, there is greater
surety of employment, there is large de-
gree of average comfort in the United
States today than in many years, in spite
of the high cost of living

The Saw Palmetto May Yet
Supply Paper Deficit in America

Is Florida to supply the paper pulp
deficit? 1t has long been prophecied that
the wild palmettoes and the saw grass of
Florida would some day prove their worth,
and put money in the pockets of Floridians.
Now Miami is to have big factory for the
conversion of the wild grass of the Ever
glades and the salt water marshes, and the
palmettoes of the pinelands into pulp for
the paper factories. and a variety of other
products
The Miami Metropolis says
Tons of saw-grass and palmetto will
be required for this factory, and again
the people of Dade county are shown
that they possess riches in the very
"nuisances" of their farms and groves.
1t is entirely possible that men will be
"cultivating" saw-grass and palmetto,
into as large crops as can be produced
The palmetto root is wonderfully pro-
ductive in tannic acid and in addition
to the use of the leaves and stems,
there will be market for the palmetto
: roots.
In line with this movement is that of
some progressive Florida women to inter
est the children of the state in palmetto
braiding. A hat maker of Chicago says he
could use thousands of yards if the children
could be taught to make it out of school
hours so that prices could compete with the
price of Italian braids. 1t seems shame
that these acres and acres of palmetto
should go untitled Though the leaves
are smaller than the cabbage palm, the
braid made from them is by some thought
to be superior

How Will Naval Experts Get Vessels
OF Deep Draft to New Orleans?

How the naval experts" who favor New
Orleans are going to get modern battle
ship up to the New Orleans navy yard on
the present draft of that port presents a
puzzle which perhaps these experts will
find easier to solve than does the ordinary
seaman
In the shipping news of the New Or
leans American of March 25th is found
this very significant paragraph:
Port Eads: Inbound vessels % feet
6 inches; outbound vessels IS feet.
Southwest Pass: % feet inches and
% feet
The biggest dredge of the United States
Engineering Department, the New Or
leans. also the "Beaureguard" and the old
Caucus" are constantly at work at these
passes, in spite Of which the figures as pre-
sented must be far from encouraging to
those who advocate New Orleans as a
great naval base.

Pensacola Water Declared to Be
Purest In the South

From recent analysis of Pensacola water,
made by Professor c. F. Chandler, of
Columbia College, New York, Pensacola
has the purest water of any city in the
South.
The analysis declares the water to be the
purest ever analysed at the University, free
from pollution, soft and admirably fitted
for all domestic purposes.
Four samples of water, collected by rep
resentatives of the water works under diff
ferent conditions were submitted to the
test
Pensacola has always been celebrated
for its splendid water supply, and this tes-
tiInony to its purity from such source is
particularly important at this time

MUST RETURN MONEY
 10 THE UNIVERSITY
Federal Appropriations Will Re De nied U. of A.. Unless Legislators Restore Endowment
 Fund.

Little Rock, May 26-1he Bureau of Education at Washington has ad-
 vised the President of the Univer- sity of Arkansas, Prof. J. C. Futrall, that the next legislature will be ex- pected to restore the University En-
 dowment Fund, which has been greatly impaired, if the institution is to continue to receive federal ap- propriations.
 This fact has been made public in the annual report of President Fut- rail, which was today submitted to the Board of Trustees The Bureau has agreed not to press the matter until after the next legislature, but insists that provision must De made for the repayment into the Endow- ment Fund of sums that have been taken from it, and that the legisIa- ture must also provide for the pay Iment of the difference between the interest at the rate of 3 per cent and , per cent for the time elapsed since the bonds given by the county Iof Washington and the City of Fay etteVille were converted into state bonds paying only 3 per cent per an hum The total amount of hack in- terest will be Si5000. In addition. provision must be made that here after the bonds of the University shall bear not less than , per cent interest.
 Discussing the financial status of the University, the presideE!. says Tt must be admitted that the small appropriation received by the Uni versity for the biennial period be- ginning July 1, 1915, has been a great hindrance in the development and management of the institution. Among other things, the entire ap- propriation for maintainance of the departments of the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Engi- neering, and some of the depart ments of the College of Agriculture were eliminated. No appropriation, whatever, was received for repairs or upkeep of the grounds and build ings. In spite of the conditions that might result, however, it was deter mined that the appropriation aetu- Ially received should not be exceeded, and that the University should not
 have to go to the next legislature asking for any deficit for this bien- nial period
 Attention is also called to the fact
 that an additional dormitory for women will be a necessity in the near future.

While the warning factions were operating in northern Mexico out that region became so frequent and the situation became so serious that President Taft sent our tiny army to the border as a warning to all evil doers. He committed the error of stopping the forces at the border, and the warning went un- needed. Conditions became worse, and the heritage of our timidity is the contempt with which the Mex jeans view everything American. MT. Wilson became president and failed to alter the mistaken policy of his predecessor. Anti-American demonstrations continued. outrages upon our citizens became more fre- quent, and eventually eliminated in an American expedition being land ed at Vera Cruz. A salute to the American flag was demanded of the Mexicans-and was never given. The American troops were soon withdrawn without accomplishing any results other than to increase the contempt of the Mexicans for the American people and the Amer lcan army. Villas horde raided across the border and shot up Co.,

General Pershing was dispatched across the border with orders to get Villa dead or alive It was the first sane order since the day Taft sent the troops to the border and committed the folly of stopping them there. But Pershing was hamstrung with di- plomatic red tape and official ti- midity, and his expedition is a fail- ure.
