MOVE FOR NEW CONSTITUTION
 RECEIVES IMPETUS.

The movement for a new constitu- ton has been given great impetus by the unqualified endorsement of Dr. Brough. He has openly declared that he is in favor of calling constitu- tional convention, and there is heard no pronounced opposition to it in any quarter.
 There are many interests that will advocate the movement, and it is gen eral,y conceded that now is the psyche logical time. Governmental condi- tions in the state were never upon a higher plane. Principles of moral ity and progress are in the ascend ancy, prosperity reigns in the state as never before, and there is an era of goodwill that will bring out the best there is in the people.
 Many reforms and changes that are needed can not be secured by the pres ent restricted and cumbersome sys- tenn of amending the constitution.
 It is not announced who will intro duce the bill, but that one or more will be introduced early in the session is assured. And tha. 1t will pass is al most certainty.

Ninety-two orders went from Stutt- gart Monday afternoon to a mail order huose, according to the Stuttgart Free Press, which sees in the practice of buying out of town a menace to the prosperity of Stuttgart. The Free Press should pursue it's investigation further and ascertain how many of these people appeal to the mail-order house when they solicit funds for any Stuttgart institution or cause. We know that the people in Pine Bluff who buy out of Pine Bluff never hesi- tate to call upon Pine Bluff merchants when they want help, altho they arc doing their best to put these men out of business.

Why is it so many people in Pine Bluff refuse to leave their telephone number when they find that the per son in a business house with whom they wish to communicate is not in at the moment? They add to their own work by repeating the call in q few minutes and needlessly inconven- fence empolyes of the business house By leaving the telephone number, this is avoided and the person sought is reminded of the call by note. Another thing accomplished by leav- ing the number is to reduce the num- Der of telephone calls, and avoid un- necessary blocking of telephone traf fic.

ONE BENEFIT OF HIGH PRICES.
 In one respect high prices are of benefit to us in Jefferson county, not referring, of course, to those of our fellow citizens who produce the pro- ducts that command the high fig ures. ,r.
 To those in Pine Bluff who are the buyers-the ultimate consumers high prices inevitably inculcate more care in the expenditure of money We naturally become more cautious in buying and consuming food.
 All necessary in these days is to control ones appetite and educate the stomach to demand less. We have known healthy fellows who thrived on two meals a day. Maybe all of us could do it in pinch, just like they probably are doing in Germany.
 There is more truth than jest in this. Many of us in Pine Bluff have lived extravagantly in our consump- tion of food. We didn't care much be- cause we had the money with which to buy eggs, potatoes and the other goodies. We still have the money, but what it buys "is something else again," " as Mawrus said in the popular story.
 If there is any possible good to be gotten ou. of the high price of feed era, this must be it. The law of com pensation is eternally at work. To be forced to adopt more prudent and careful culinary tactics will undoubt- edly do much to improve our health.
 For everyone in Pine Bluff must know by this time that doctors have been telling us from time immemor- able that we eat too much, and that indigestion is our national disease.
 Here's where Pine Bluff folk can put one over on the doctors.
