Beef has been going up in price for l several years and it is now higher than ever. A glance at the live stock and dressed meat quotations in this newspaper will tell the tale. Last Tuesday prime steers sold at $11.4O | hundredweight in Chicago, the high est price on record. A prime steer weighs 1,5O0 pounds and the farmer gets $165 for it less cost of transpor- tation to Chicago and commission fees. On the farm such steers are worth from $120 to $155 a head ac cording to proximity to big markets. Calves, sheep, lambs and hogs are proportionately dear. At present prime steers are scarce and the de- mand for the best beef is so good that the stock raisers are receiving prices which mean fortunes for those who know the business.
 Prosperity means increased con sumption of meats. Pasturage is good and the outlook for the corn crop is excellent, so the farmers who raise live stock are in clover, as they would express it. It is the farmer who is making the money. He is getting more for cattle and hogs on the hoof than prime dressed meats were worth few years ago. Fancy cuts are cost ly because. almost everybody wishes to eat the best, and American house. wives do not know how to cook the cheaper and even more nutritious pieces. Congress and the federal trade commission may investigate food prices until doomsday, but the farmer wilF tfy to get all he can for his produce. He has often been forced to sell grain, livestock and cot ton below cost of production. He got less than 50 cents a bushel for wheat 21 or 22 years ago and less than six cents pound for cotton in October, 1914. He has to take the bitter with the sweet. Just now it is all sweet for him. vs
 We must not forget that wheat IS much cheaper than it. was last year, and that eggs are also lower. As far as the packers are concerned anyone can figure the cost of dressed meats from the prices of live cattle and hogs. When beef cattle go up the fancy cuts must bear the extra cost because the public wants nothing else. The only way to force reduction In the price of porterhouse steak IS to stop eating them and fill up on cheaper yet equally wholesome DOT tions.

Good advice to Pine Bluff parents is this-don't think your children have enough education when they have passed through the grade schools.
 More education may appear useless, but it isn't. From a dollars and cents standpoint much in modern education appears to be useless; but that doesn't prove anything except that the dollars and cents standpoint is the wrong angle from which to look at the sit uation
 Success" in life is not determined from the mercenary outlook.
 Money -grubbing isn't a sign of edu- cation and isn't the aim of education.
 The I-am-smarter- -than-thou" feel ing isn't the aim of education and isn't practiced by really educated per sons.
 Well-educated men and women have the best chance to live satisfactory life; one that includes a thorough ap- preciation of everything worth while.
 Some men and women-probably many of Pine Bluffs parents are in the number-lacked good "schoor' or "book" education in early life. And they have made up for it by educat- ing themselves in everything they wanted or needed to know.
 D..A :A &o foroo dOnhffl1l self-culture on your boys and girls in view of the magnificent educational advantages that are offered free in Pine Bluff.
 Better give them the push in the right direction and send them to higf school.
 There is too much worth while 1T the world to know, too much to appre ciate and love, to run the risk of going through life blindfolded to the heights and vistas opened up to mankind b. the power of education.
 This county is taxing itself heavll. to provide that which is free to tn county's boys and girls. There ar not sufficient number taking ad vantage of it.
 It is useless to boast of hig school if it isn't being taken advantag of properly. The real test of ma tion's education is not the building alone, because that is only the shell c the system, but the numbers who us the buildings.

 Experts in such matters have fig ured out that over 10 per cent of foodstuffs is wasted by the house. Keepers in this country, which means $40O0,OO0 since we purchase $4,O0O.- 100000 of foodstuffs a year. With little thrift on the part of the house wife the high prices of food will be less noticeable ill the family budget. While foods arc likely to remain high, women must revise their house. hold expense, to meet this condi- .ion; they must learn how to buy and how to cook more economically, what combinations of foods are essential :or their families and in what quan- titles. There will then be little or no waste and the actual money saved

WHAT FIXES THE PRICE.

All commodities which are produced by a large number of people and are consumed by the multitude acquire their market value in accordance with the laws of supply and demand, is the opening declaration of an editorial in the New York Commercial, discussing prices. Continuing, the New York paper says: Poor methods of dis tr:bvtion often increase the cost to the ultimate consumer, but, as rule, conspi-acies to fix prices or to restrain trade do not exist. This applies to ry&ia, .,ov,-. I've stecA @.c .:ests $ vel ss to other :s:l ~tsat nesesssres Of life.

 Now, if a person applies the prill- ciples of thrift to his health, one of the things which he wifi eschew will be over-eating. Over-eating is one of the commonest forms of extrava-' gance among the people of this coun- try. The rest of the world eats on an average, forty-nine pounds of meat per capita, a year, but Amer: jeans eat 172 pounds per. capita a year. It has been estimated that if, this quantity were cut in half enough: money would be saved in one year to pay, the, national debt. !: It is also: known that thesa1ls due to this over, consumption of meat are too many apa:ss eesssssk 4esss sit,e tinfx ss age ,earners, for instance, lose annually $750O00,000 a year through illness, and their lost wages and medical care consequent upon some of this ill., -ss surely is due to over-indulgence in foodstuffs.
 There died in New York the other day man named Jacob Langcloth, who came to this country from Ger many, penniiess, only eighteen years ago. So thoroughly did he take ad- vantage of his opportunities and SO well and successfully did he practice thrift that he was able to provide most generously for his widow and over sixty employees; remember many public institutions and leave the res- iduary estate of over $3,000O00 to a home for invalids. That is what thrift will do for those who give it chance

We say let's hope these may be persuaded to enlist. That, per haps, may turn out to be the best thing they ever did for Pine Bluff.

NEEDS REVAMPING.

If the selection Of state central
committee really means anything in
this day of shattered party lines,
some changes should be made in the
law which will prevent politicians
from using it to vent their spleen
upon successful candidates.
After the primaries are over, the
organization of the state central com.
mittees should be left to the success.
full candidates. Under the present
law it is possible to select state
central committee hostile to the very
men in whose interests the campaign
is to be conducted.
The law should be revamped at
the next session Of the legislature
so that the interests of nominees
will be safeguarded. Sharp practice
and eleventh hour spite should not
be visited upon the nominees by dis.
gruntled politicians who may have
secured membership in the commit.
tee. The candidates themselves,
state and congressional, should des.
ignate the state central committee.
They must make the fight and they
must support the issues formulated
into a platform.
It is vital that the nominees con-
troll the campaign machinery under
our primary law.
No time should be lost in revamp.
ing the present law so as to prevent
the revival of primary bitterness
when the state central committees
meet.

GREECE TAKES PLUNGE,

When the history Of the War OF
Nations is written, King Constantine
of Greece may be vindicated. His
patriotism cannot be questioned. Up
on the field Of battle in the Balkan
wars, he showed his devotion to the
nation he ruled.
His opposition to entering the
struggle is explained chiefly upon two
grounds. First a natural devotion tc
family ties that united him to the
reigning family of Germany, and sec
ond. he feared from a military stand
point that participation in the wal
by Greece earlier in the struggle
would mean for her the fate of Ser
bia and Montenegro.
In this latter contention many O.
the staff officers Of the Grecian arm,
agreed. Austria and Germany wer,
making successful drive through
Servia and King Constantine fearet
that his army could not stem tn,
tide.
Now, however, conditions hav,
changed. The entrance of Roumani
left Greece no other alternative thai
to enter the struggle on the side o
the Entente Powers. Formal declare

government at Athens has accepte
