two principals on the films convulsed
the Frenchmen with laughter. They
agreed at once to take over the films
al good price and also asked for all
further films released by Mr., Fisher.
Then the films we're taken to the cen
sor, as everything must be passed by
"Anastasie," as the newspaper editors
call the censor.
And there's where the hitch oc-
Cured.
The movies depict Mutt and Jeff's'
activities in the various armies, as
was shown in the daily comic on the
sporting page Of the New York World.
In one OF these scenes the characters
In field gray and pickelhaubes are
shown charging and capturing-sin-
glehanded-an entire regiment OF the
French soldiers,
Then the two creatures Of Mr.. Fish
ors pen are shown as polus, where
they kid" and joke with their super
Tor officers in the French army and
perpetrate acts of levity not in con
formity with discipline Mutt and
Jeff's" actions in the Russian army
where they take the Gar back to
New York to see the Willard Moran
prize fight-were also regarded as in
bad taste by the French censor.
So although the censor laughed so
hard he nearly fell off his chair al
the private showing OF the animated
cartoons in the Bureau de la Presse,
he refused to permit the showing OF
the films.
Thus is France robbed Of the privi-
loge of viewing the hazardous actions
Of the inimitablc pair.

On Her Way to Hospital.

"It shows that the Pine Bluff business men do not i'm tend to rest on their oars, but are de- termined to forge ahead; it shows that they have confidence in Pine Fluff, and in the development of the Arkansas river trade; and it gives to us who are fighting for continued inn rrovement work on the river another good weapon with which to combat the arguments of the United States engineers in their efforts to have the government cease improvement work on the Arkansas rivr."

the year, but how much You have in

the year, but how much You have in bank.
 Let us hope the lesson is we'll learned. There will be strong temp tation for the farmer to go back to the all-cotton scheme of farming, but It he does he courts ruin. A bi:, crop of cotton next year will surely mean smalf prices for the staple, and nigh prices for food and feed. Better ic grow what is needed in the way oi food and feed. Cotton is good, but the farmer cannot eat it.
 Pine Bluff never started a year that promised more. Whether these promises are fulfilled depends upon the people of the city. It behooves each and every one to forget person. al diffeTences, and get together for tive further development of our re- sources and upbuilding of the city. To do this is not philanthrophy or charity, but far-sighted business Policy and civism. Anything that felps the town helps you.
 We could use more farmers on 40 to 80 acre tracts; there is room here for new industries and more home owners. Obtain all of these that can find profit here, and Pine Bluff will he bigger, better and even mors' prosperous city than it is now.
 The new year promises much; The Graphic hopes that it's promises will be fulfilled for each and every one.

PREPAREDNESS

Much is being said now about pre- paredness against war in the way of more ships and a larger army. The great majority of American people are with President Wilson in his policies. But have we thought of the great insecurity of Arkansas and of Cur unpreparedness in the way of food and feed.
 What about our flour supply? What about our beef and pork sup- plyy What about our butter and egg end poultry supply? Even this year few realize that Arkansas has not grown half enough of the above arti- ,cfes to supply her own people.
 If war were to be declared against US, could Arkansas really feed her self, feed and maintain her live stock, support her schools, churches, shops end factories? If beef and pork wer, to be trebled in price how many farmers would be able to have beef snd pork to sell and yet plenty to sat. If cotton were tQ drop to six cents CT could not be sold could all Arkansas yet feed herself and be tappy!
 The farmer in America who does not "play safe" this year and for the next ten years in the way of grow ing his own food and feed stuffs is not patriotic citizen. If all trains

BETTER THINGS TO READ.

A man whose occupation for years took him into the homes of many country people has penned a few ob- servations that deserve contempla- It4on.
 "A hindrance to the advancement |ef many children in the country" he says, lis that in many. homes one does not find a newspaper, magazine Or a book. l have visited homes where ell the reading matter I could see was an almanac. And in other homes l found them reading ths cheapest k. nd of matter, costing about ten cents a year, which they called q

 ~"I am not capable of discussing tfis subject as ably as scientific educator does," this man continues, but do know that the farm that is managed and operated by man Nho has intelligent and at least somewhat cultivated brains is more Iro4uctive with less expenditure of muscle and fatiguing work than 1t otherwise would be. Knowledge is power, and this power can and should be utilized on the farm as well as in the bank, factory, managing railroads CT in the presidents chair"
