Coal in Arkansas in 1915.

A large part of the coal produced in
Arkansas is used for locomotive fuel,
so that retrenchments in operating ex-
penses by the railroad companies and
competition with fuel oil from nearby
fields have seriously interfered with
the output of coal in Arkansas Ac-
cording to Q. E. Lesher, of the U. s..
Geological Survey, the production in
1916 was 1852, LOG short tons, valued at
81, 1850, ,456, as compared with 1,S36,540
tons, valued at 80, ,15s, 1853 in 1914, and
over 100000 tons, valued at nearly
"A 100000, in 1913.
Sebastian County, which produces
about 40 per cent Of the total for the
State, decreased more than a quarter
OF a million tons, whereas all other
counties recorded increases. The out

The insincerity of the politicians in
control of the Chicago convention is
apparent. If they really meant what
they said in their speeches and are
in earnest in the platform declarations,
they want war; Still they fail to
point out single instance to justify
war. Furthermore, they know that
the constitution vests the power to
declare war in Congress and no Re-
publican Congressman has introduced
in either house resolution declaring
war. In view of this their attempt to
make case against Wilson by ''glit-
tering generalities' and innuendo is
such an inglorous failure as to ap-
proach the pitiable.

Hensley Plays Important Part.

A special from Washington, D. O.,
to the st. Louis Republic dated May
18, says: A naval appropriation bill
that ignores the five-year building
program of Secretary Daniels, but
authorizes new construction at once
to the amount of $3.50, 900, was
voted by the House Committee on
Naval Affairs to-day.
The committee also approved the
proposal of Representative Hensley of
Missouri that 100000 be set aside for
the promotion of an international
court of arbitration and naval dis
armament at the end of the European
war. The bill, as reported, meets with
approval of Majority Leader Kitchin
and other influential democrats.
By curious combination of cir
cumstances the bill win go to the
house as a partisan measure. The
eight republican members of the
Naval Affairs committee fought all
along the line for bigger navy. In
every instance the republicans, who
played politics from start to finish,
voted for greater number of vessels
than were finally authorized, yet the
minority voted against the smaller
number. For instance, the republi-
cans fought for six battle cruisers but
voted against five when the demo-
cratic members combined on that
number, Chiefly through the influence
of Representative Hensley of Mis-
souri,, who lined up the "small navy"
man Of tho 10 OF Inint1tn af the rnnupat
of Chairman Padgett.
Secretary Daniels is understood to-
night to be satisfied with the action of
the house committee. He congratulate
ed Mr.. Hensley for his part in check
ing the republicans political maneu-
yer.

Wayne County Iron Mines Resume.

(Wayne County Journal)
4 F. F. Shular, who has made Poplar
Bluff his home for several months,
while in Greenville Tuesday, informed
us that he had again accepted posi-
ton with the Orah Land and Invest
ment Company, and was now acting
as foreman of the Carnegie iron mine,
between Greenville and Williamsville,
which has resumed operations.
The mines at Keener are also bein g
worked and it is reported that other
mines in the territory contingent to
the Ozark Valley will be opened. The
mines have been closed for several
years on account of lack of a market
The st. Louis Blast furnace, the only
available market west of the Missis-
sippi river, suspended operations in
1910 and high freight rates pro-
hibited shipping the local ore east
of the river. The high price of iron
products has proved an incentive for
the re-opening of the st. Louis fur
mace and 1t is now being overhauled
preparing to resume business,
The iron mines formerly gave en-
ployment to many men and teams in
the county and that they will resume
worklis welcome news, indeed.

put of coal in 1915 in Sebastian Coun-
ty, 1883, ,494 tons, was the lowest since
1900 and is 10000 tons less than in
1907, the record year for that field.
The advance in the price of fuel oil
late in 1915, if continued, will propably
have the effect of increasing the use
of Arkansas coal and assist that State
to recover to some extent the mar
kets that have been lost within late
years.
There we're 3,751 men employed in
and about the coal mines of Arkansas
in 1915, who worked for an average
of 149 days, as compared with 1889
men for 143 days in 1914.

Not even such an expert fakir as
Roosevelt can get by with false issue
against Woodrow Wilson. The at
tempt to raise the issue of American
ism was the cheapest performance
staged in recent political history. It

The fine Americanism Of Wilson has

disregard the mandate of the consti-
tuition and prevent the people from
passing on any proposition they desire
to act upon. If John Swanger or any
body else has made Shupp and Jones
any such promises, the people should
have the information. Candidates
should have no secret obligations nor

Harding's keynote in the Republican
National Convention was humiliting
whine for harmony, and an offer of
"amends'' to the Progressives If they
will only surrender their principles
and come back to the old home shack,
There's nothing there but husks; no
robe, no ring, no fatted calf, not even
pie. The chances for pie in the future
are too slender to appeal to a Progress
sive, unless his situation is desperate.

The Industrial Home for Negro
Girls, located at Upton, was recently
completed and is now open for the
reception of incorrigibles. The insti-
tuition was established by the Legisla-
ture in 1909, but Governor Hadley's
administration did nothing toward it's
construction. In the construction of
the home this administration has ex-
pended approximately 100000, bur-
den that came over to it from Hadley.
This is in addition to the $476,OOO in
unpaid bills Hadley's administration
left as legacy for: it's Democratic
successors. In dodging responsibility
and leaving unpaid bills the Hadley
administration was blue ribbon TAX
er. That is one Of several reasons
why Missouri will not vote to turn its
affairs over to the Republican bosses

RICHARDSONPARK MAY
BUILD LARGE SCHOOL

DR.. E. l.. Cross, superintendent Of
rural New Castle county schools. was
the principal speaker at a meeting Of
the Parent-Teachers Association Of
Richardson Park school district, held
in the school last night. The subject
OF his address was Consolidation OF
Schools"
During the discussion which fol-
lowed the address It was found that
most of the fifty members present
were in favor Of enlarging Oak Grove
school to relieve the crowded cOndi-
tion of both the Richardson Park and
Oak Grove schools. The next meeting
of the Parent-Teachers Association
will be held at Oak Grove school early
in February. when the members OF
that district will have an opportunity
of expressing themselves more fully
with regard TO the plan.
The congestion seems to center
largely around the Oak Grove district,
and the plan is TO buy a piece of land
and erect thereon modern three
room school building. This would
greatly relieve the congestion at Rich
ardson Park, where there are now
four rooms, filled to their capacity.
There is a one-room school building
at Oak Grove at present, and this is
entirely inadequate to fill the de-
mands II is hoped TO have the new
building completed before the begin
ming of new school term.
During the meeting there was a
discussion OF a kindergarten work
for Richardson Park. A musical pro-
gram was furnished by the Richard
son Park Orchestra and several solos
were sung by Frank Grubb.
A good deal Of information relative
to school plans was given by DR.
Cross, and while he is advocating con
solidated schools wherever it is pos.
sble, he is willing to agree that g
school at Oak Grove is necessary tC
meet the demands of that district

Alkali in Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, if
you wantsto keep your hair looking its
best Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsifed cocoanut oil (which
is pure and greaselessl, and is better
than the most expensive soap Or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moistcn the hair with water and rub it
in. II makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt.
dandruf and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and

manage
You can gct mulsifed cocoanut oil at

ounces will supply every member of the
family for months.
