SAFETY APPLIANCE ACT
 DECISION.

A decision of far-reaching import and of especial interest here was rendered Monday by the United states supreme court in passing on an ap- neal from Texas of the case of A. R. Rigsby, q brakeman, against the Texas & Pacific railroad. Rigsby suf- fered injuries because of affective ladder on. car marked bad order ,' and left standing in the yard at Mar shall. Texas. It was necessary for Rigsby to take the car over the maln line to the shops for repairs. He was awarded judgment fct, $l1.000 by the Texas courts. and the decision was affirmed. |.
 The United States supreme court construed the various federal safety appliance acts that salltemployes may recover damages for injuries result ing from failure of railroads engaged in interstate commerce 'o comply with safety appliance laws.
 Heretofore the safety appliance act has cnly applied when an accident occurred while car was being haulea flom one state to anoth'r, or was billed from a point in one state to a point in another.
 Under the decision rendered Mon day. all railroads engaged in inter state commerce become liable for in- juries to employees resulting from fail ure to comply with the acts.
 Local alto. neys regard this as a precedent-making decision. giving safety appliance laws a scope far groa,er than the federal employers liability law.

PRESS COMMENT.
CAPITAL.

great deal is being said about in ducing capital to seek investment ia the southwest and help develop it's vast resources, bu precious little thought is devoted to the creation of capital. As the Industrial Record says, capital did not start from nowhere. Capital is merely time saved up. Why is the Southwest always clamoring for he time saved up in other sections and giving no thought to the saving of time itself? Capital is born of thrift and developed by perseverance, going out as a mighty power in it's chosen field.
 The wealth of the world is largely l owned hv individuals who have saved | fo the rainy day and invested in in surance and savings accounts. or put money into industrial enterprises. The greates, need of the Southwest l today is not so much outside capital as proper investment of inside capital. | When the savings account habit be- comes universal in the Southwest, mil | lions will be accumulated for great undertakings. There is too much
 waste and not enough industry and
 thrift in the Southwest. Outside money will not flow open handed into
 this territory until the people show q l greater disposition to meet it with
 funds of their own. How can the
 Southwest expect outside capital tt
 invest in something that she her
 self shows no faith in?
 There is no region better situated
 for the purpose of crsating wealth
 Natural condition are so easy tha
 our people have not striven as the,
 should. They are wasteful. If tht
 aggregate of he waste in the South : west each ysar could be gathered to
 sether and invested in manufacturing industries, it would not be long beior the Southwest would be the peer 0 New England.
 , Money rates are too high in tht Southwest. The universal practice o
 thrift would lessen rates and enabl
 industries to flourish. High rate stand in the way of improvements. a. , most improvements are made on Dor , | rowed capital We can not show our
 selves capable of manufacturing un til we show ourselves capable of ere c ating the capital that goes into tn, I establishment of the industries W
 l should have. There are plenty of mel twho could turn the world over if they
 had the capital. They are dreamers

A CONIlNG DEVELOPMENT.

The other day Miss Margaret Will son. daughter of the president, ad dressed a committee of congress on the reason why schools in the Dis tyict of Columbia should be thrown opdn to the people as community centers.
 This idea of making a community center out of school house applies no less to "the little red schoolhouse in the country than it does to the big school in the city.
 Both are utilized as productive plants only comparatively few hours out of the 24.
 As to the country schoolhouse, tho proposal is to use it as socia rendezvous for districts where tn, nearest neighbors are miles apart thereby removing from rural life tn bane of lonesomeness Some rura schools already are given to such use at least to certain extent. Compare, with the number that are not, how ever. they are insignificant
 As to the use of the city school a center of social welfare. it seem that it is quite as necessary as in tn case of the country schools. Thou sands of people live in the city flats and congested districts who are quit ass lonely as th,efsperson. living te miles from his nearest neighbor the country. City folks are in nee of such community centers. and tn prospect of utilizing the great scho' plants in the city to better advantas will be a milestone along the roa, N

Still Time for Bermuda,


 Feed for the. stock twelve months in the year, Bermuda pasture for sum- mer and Bermuda hay for winter can be had on any farm, Why grow more cotton to buy hay when Der muda grows so readily everywhere Bermuda, is the cheapest feed that can be grown. Bermuda is adapted to nearly all soils. It is hardy and very drought resistant. But above all Bermuda grass is the richest in feeding value of any grass grown in the South. It's protein content is higher than that of any grass known. Pasture the Bermuda already on tle place and get some more started for hay.

Why yOt Be Safe !!

It will be the part of wisdom on the part of each and every farmer in Arkansas to play safe" this year and grow enough feed for all his stock and enough meat and vege- tables for his family for whole year. Corn. Clover and Content ment" and Pigs, Peas and Prosperi- ty' will be good slogans. If the European war continues we can only market about ten million bales of cot ton and if farmers grow fifteen mill lion bales they may expect t. get about six cents for it, less than it costs to grow it. Plant a little more corn, larger patches of peas, soy beans and peanuts, and larger field of Sudan grass, and another acre of sorghum. and bigger garden, and get another COW or few calve, and 2. few more pigs and be safe. and then hold cotton until December or January-Why not?

These are three salient features Of an

limitations Of modern conceptions Of

The leisure of the modern woman Is

the home Is fast losing its old place In
the community. Only so few women are
ready now honestly to face these new
conditions"
Mrs. Austin says women are leaving
the home just as surely these days as
everyone else is.
'"Theaters, clubs, societies and shop
ping problems take woman out Of the
home until she Is hardly comfortable In
It." the novelist says.
Women don't want their work lost,

their time count for something definite

LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younger! Use Grand
mothers Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur and Nobody viii Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's time
She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive Whenever
her hair took on that dull. faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mixture
vas applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays by asking at
any drug store for 50 cent bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, +"
you will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, which can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty to the
hair.
A wen-known downtown druggist says
It darkens the hair so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied. You simply dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair. taking one strand at
q time By morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application or
two. it becomes beautifully dark and
glossy.

is a delightful toilet requisite for those
who desire a more youthful appearance.

put the lid on Comptroller of the Cur

attempted to make public a statement
showing the quantity Of foreign securi-
ties held by national banks. The board,
1t is understood, fears that the statement
would not be wise, following the board s
declaration of belief that too. large hold
ings Of foreign securities would place
banks In unliquid and therefore pre-

Members of the board waited on Comp

intended issuing his statement. There
was considerable long distance telephone
conversation. presumably with New York
and finally the Comptroller postponed
