WRITER
 IS ''IN BAD" !
 IN PINE BLUFF

Coyle Shea, sporting editor of the Msmphis News Scmitar has the fol- lowing paragraph in his winter league' colunn of Tuesday:
 Milwaukee to train at Pine Bluff
 "Evidently getting as far away from civilization as possible. At tha:, there is no ter place to train than some lone some burg where nobody is around
 Friend Coyle makes bad start he fails to rem ember that it has be- come the custom, these late years, to draw inferences, to read between the lin s, and to frame conclusions based on the double meaning cf some of the words; in this greao English language. a tHi
 Some lonesome burg is a we'll tunsd phrase-and except for the fact that it d6es not. fit the ces, it would be all right. It has not been very many years since Memphis fans saw their baseball games at Rad ,Ellum ,spark-and Memphis seemed fled. The local athletic field is some hundreds per cent. superior to the once-fan,:d Red Ellum ballyard. Considering the fact that Memphis is surrounded by the Mississippi river and it's flat and unpopulated environs on one side, and farm lands on three other sides. candid critic would ad- init there is, room for argum mt as to whether. Pine Bluff IS much lone- somer than Memphis. Careful persual of the Memphis papers would tend to the opinion that if the laws of the state were really enforced, Memphis would suffer a considerable decrease in her baseball crowds-while Nash vile would gain materially in popula-, ton.
 However, Coyle Shea is like most modern sports writers. This is winter league time, and few sports writers are responsible for their paragraphs at this season. And, at that. it is much safer to criticise a community than it is to use the same language about an individual. Shea doubtless was merely turning little pleasantly. so-called; but lots of peo- pie will not recognize the humor of the paragraph, unless it Is carefully pointed out

thc b@dy. And he will Willard's defense, as we have seen it in the two most important battles of his carser, consists almost wholly of covering his face. He has no consistent de- fsnse for his stomach.
 Willard doesn't need to pr2tect his stomach" asserts his, packers. t"It is impregnable. No one can hurt him hitting hin tlere.'
 Maybe that was so year ago. But il isn't now. Some of the muscles tha guarded Willard's stomach dur ing the days of strenuous training have relaxed. The stomach may not pr.vo a stonewall against Dillon
 Dillon probably will have to aim most of his wallops at Willard's am.lship section. If they land, Will lard is going to feel them. There is no man wao can delivere :nore ter rife blow ts the body than can Dill lon. He sans right crashing to the stomach Of Charlie Weinert in tn- second round of the,r philadelphia bout. Weinert wsighed in the neigh borhood of 210 pounds. yet that one wallcp lifted him eff his faet. turned him around and then shot him ont ) the ropes. The fight was over. For nearly six months }af,orward Weinert complained of pains in the region whera .thata blow, landed:

 Dillon swung that sam2 right to the jaw f Tom Cowler, the Austra lian heavyweight in second round of their bout in Brooklyn last week. Cowler went down as though halfton Zep- pelin bomb had fallen upon his dor.s. It required nearly five minutes for Cowler's seconds to revive him. Al Morton's jaw was nearly broken as the result of being in the way of Di,- Ions right hand swing in the fourth round of their Memphis bout in De- csmber. Scores of others have felt that wallop-and crumbled.
 Dillcn can hit-and with the power of sledge hammer. And he can take as much punishment as any nan in the ring today. He IS faster, by far, than Willard. and. undoubtedly, will be able to move out of the way of Willard's crushers. But can he escape them all?
 Just now we wonder what will hap pen if Willard's famous right swing. propelled by every muscle in his huge body, and backed by his tre- mendous weight, collides with the heretofore unhurtable jaw of Jack Dillon?

 ed Player Must Stop.

Potato Cards in Dresden

BERLIN.-Communities receiving butter through the so-called Central Purchasing Association, founded by the Government and under it's con- trol, must, in accordance with the order of the Imperial Chancellor, in- troduce better cards before March 5 to limit the supply per person to a maximum of a quarter of pound metric weekly. Children under two years are not considered in this es- timate, and those between and IA years will receive half the stated quantity.
 Fat cards may also be introduced, with a maximum of 180 grams of butter and margarine together, or a quarter of pound of all kinds of fat. Persons receiving butter by post from outside points must report the amount received, and have their but ter correspondingly cancelled.
 Berlin is among the cities receiv- ing butter through the Central Pur- chasing Association.
 At Dresden potato cards have been introduced, a maximum of seven pounds per capita being allowed weekly.

INVESTIGATE BEFORE BUYING.

Before you invest in a mining en- terprise, make a thorough investiga- tion, and after you have gained all the facts possible, make up your mind as to whether or not you should place your money in the enterprise. Inventigate before you invest. To investigate after you invest is like locking the door after the horse is gone. We must remember that ev- cry mine was once prospect, and without the necessary development funds to place the prospect in the pro- ducing class there would be no mines. No one can see farther ahead than you can. Mining engineers and ge- ologists are able to state what might be expected from mining prospect considering certain existing geologi- cal conditions.
 The main point that an invest or should know and which he should insist upon knowing are data in re- gard to title to the property; wheth- CT or not the property is located in a district of mining possibilities; a statement as to the capitalization of the company; the portion of the cap ital stoch assigned to the treasury and the standing of the men at the head of the company.
 The greatest asset of any prospect company so far as .ne investor in It's stock fs concerned is the integrity and high sense of honor of the com pany officials. Any investor can make a pretty fair estimate of a company through an investigation of the company officials. AS a general rule a prospect mining company is no better than the officers aethe head of it. Investors would do well to place their fun.4s 4n honest capitalized com panies officered by men of standing and integrity. AS a general rule pro- motors or operators are insincere if they take more than their just DOT tion of the company's capital stock upon incorporation.

 Our country, although settled by poor and persecuted people, devised the greatest form of government that the world has ever known, and today twenty-six great nations have adopt ed our Republican form of govern ment and the Stars and Strips is known in every port in the world. In education, art and pastoral happi- ness, what nation can compete with us today?
 Only one hundred and forty years have rolled away since our nation was born, yet today the whole world craves our friendship and expresses admiration for our institutions, and one hundred million people, living within it's borders, contemplate it with fond regard.
 The great pyramid upon which rests the very foundation of our na- tion is yet uncompleted and it is for us, the heirs of the best of all the ages, to build it higher, wider, fuller and more complete.
 The United States of America is the greatest nation of the world not in military strength perhaps, but in the essentials which go to make a happy, prosperous citizenry.

THAT FIRST KISS.

we don't believe" asserts the edi- tor of a paper in the States, "that a kiss tastes as good as in the prestine days when we were young."
 What tommyrot. From the mo- ment when Adam and Eve collabo- rated on the first kiss, we do not be- lieve there was ever one that did not taste good. What young man or maid does not remember his or her first kiss? The silvery stars sang for joy in the purple dome of the azure sky when lip first met lip. The nightin- gale was dumb until the golden mo- ment had slipped into the evanescent yesterdays. The rose and the violet were noxious weeds and nectar was as fiat as circus lemonade until you got over the sensation of that first, soul-thrilling bubble of bliss. Taste as good as they did twenty years ago? Oh, benighted brother, they taste as good now as they did when Mordecai kissed Esther, when Leander kissed Hero, when Antony kissed Cleopat- ra, when Aucassin kissed Nicollette, when Romeo scaled the balcony and pressed his fevered pie-face against the alabaster brow of Juliet, when John Alden kissed Priscilla, when Herman kissed Dorothea, or when the iridescent star-beams of bliss from tho lips of the fair Evelyn led Harry Thaw on to the asylum and everlast- ing damnation.
 They taste just as good, you sour souled joy-dispeller as they did on that night of nights a score of years ago when you and she were darlings of the gods, and she held up to you those quivering rose-buds to let you sip the apbrosia of the gods. Does a kiss taete as good? Does it? You know it.

THE GRAND OLD U. g. A.

At the present time the United lstates is the wealthiest and most important nation upon the face of the earth. The foundations of our government were largely laid by the English, but they have been modern szed and improved upon by our statesmen until we are far ahead of the country which gave us our laws of equity and jurisprudence.
 Ever since it's discovery America has been the greatest nation in the world for opportunities. Many na- tions tried to explore, colonize and become possessors of different parts of our nation, and it's very vastness defeated their purposes.
 It was settled as haven for the poor and oppressed, by people who came to our shores to escape politi- cal and religious persecution, and in this country they found the dream of their desires---a land overflowing with riches to be had for the taking.
 During all the earlier development of this country our forefathers were persecuted by the Old country, by Indians, by famines, and by wild beasts and strange diseases, but un- daunted they plodded on, laying the foundations for the greatest freed land of modern civilization. The Eu- ropean enemies were subdued, the In dians and wild beasts exterminated, and science and right living over come the many strange diseases and pestilences endured by the colonists.
 This country unfolded from it's cocoon, spread its wings and be- came a nation. Religious tolerance was established, person could wor- ship the Gods of his Fathers unmo- tested by cruel laws, and freedom of speech and of the press became es- tablished prerogatives. Large land purchases were in time made, and great inventions burgeoned. Our present free school system was evolv- ed and our free higher state institu- Gons grew and f1ourished.
 In the midst of great national prosperity the civil war occurred, and thousands of our best and mo- blest found graves in southern ba- yous, in southern mountain passes, In the canebrakes of southern val leys, and where the limpid rivers of the south rippletover their rocky beds to join their waters with the salty sea.

of career. saw him elected to the
New York Assembly, where he estab-
lished himself by his mouthings, as n
fighter and leading opponent to poll
teal crookedness. | saw him with Il
face of flint set against such ravages,
when in fact, he was allied with the
gang rulers and crooked politicians.
| saw him as candidate for mayor
and rs governor of New York. saw
him as ranchman and as soldier.
| saw him lead his fake charge up San
Juan Hill, when in fact he and his
regiment were ambushed, and had it
not been for the colored soldiers,

in Cuba shoot poor fleeing Spaniard

made about it, | saw him by politi-
cal accident become the president of
the United States. saw him disgrace
the dignity of that office for apply

and facing trial for their lives.
saw him, when as president, sign the
notorious "Alton Steal" bill, which
was one of the most gigantic railroad

CARL ULONSKA TO
SPEAK RED WEEK

So many favorable reports are
coming in every day regarding the
work being done by Comrade Ulonska
in his trip through the state, that the
committee in charge of the lecture he
will give here on Sept. 3rd in The
Forum, are more thon confident that
he will make a hit.
The tickets will be sent out in time
to give every one an opportunity to
give this enthusiastic young comrade
good audience in his home city. 1t
is to be hoped that no one will rest
easy who has not used every effort to
interest friends, neighbors and shop
mates in the message of peace that
Comrade Ulonska has to give. Let
this meeting be in the nature of a
peace meeting. Be sure and try to get
those interested who do not yet I'M
derstand the war game as it is being
played, not only in Europe, but in this
country. The fact that Comrade
Ulonska has met with such bitter an
tagonism in certain places proves be-
yond doubt that he has something
to say that is worth while.
So let us get busy with the tickets
and make this a not-to-be-forgotten
event.
