LABOR LEADERS ASK FAIR PLAY
 FOR STRIKERS
State Federation of Labor
 Says Missouri Pacific Men :, Not Getting Deserts

T. A. Wilson, president, and l.. H.
 Moore, secetary, of the Arkansas Fed eration of Labor, have issued the fol lowing appeal to the people of the state relating to the present strike of maintenance of way employees of the Missouri Pacific system:
 'It is characteristic of Americans that no matter what their personal feeling may be on any question they believe in giving the other fellow fair play.
 "A case, however, where this is not being done, at least in Arkansas, is in the strike of the maintenance of way employees against the Missouri Pacific railroad for increased wages. Without any argument as to whether or not their demands are just, the method of fighting them is manifestly unfair, much more so than the pugilist who strikes below the belt
 Opponents of the maintenance of way employees taking advantage of the general prejudice against the organiz- ation known as the I. w. w., are busy creating the impression that the strik- ing maintenance of way employees are nembe1s of that organization.
 ''This is without the slightest foun- dation. The International Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees is an organization affiliated with the American Federation of Labor and To- cally with the state and central bod ies. In most instances these men are citizens of the state very many of them with families. The ol ganization they belong to not only is in no way connected with the Industrial Workers of the World but in complete opposi- tion to it's methods and in behalf of justice we ask papers in Arkansas to quote us in declaring that the mem bers of the Information Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees, that are striking for something near a liv- ing wage, are members of legitimate labor union that has no connection with the I. w. w."

MAYOR WILL ATTEND
 FOOD CONFERENCE

Mayor Simon Bloom will go to Lit tie Rock this morning to attend food conference which has been called at the suggestion of National Food Ad- ministrator Clarence Hoover.
 The object of the conference is to inaugurate a campaign to insure the cultivation of every available foot of ground next year.

He is making an effort to have every lot in this city cultivated, so as to pro- duce an abundant supply of foodstuffs.
 He said that he has nothing against the butchers or packing plants, but the people must plant vegetable seed, raise and eat vegetables even if they have to become veritable vegetarians, and let the meat go to the soldiers in France.

A kindly act on the part of a railway

A kindly act on the part of railway is the order of big California rail- road to its enginemen that when deer is seen on the track at night the head light shall be extinguished for mo- ment. More than a dozen deer were killed by trains in California in Janu- ary. It has been discovered that when the headlight is extinguished, if only for a second, the animals are able to jump to safety. Otherwise the glare of the headlight dazes them so that they are run down before they can es- cape.

Value of a Smile.

Smile and the world smiles with you. It does not cost you anything to be human, to show by your man. ner that you regard your fellow worker or your employee as a fellow being. A friendly greeting, no mat ter how hurried, is tonic. Take the trifling moment of time for that greet ing. Make the trifling amount of ef- fort. Remember that the joy or the unhappiness of life is made up of trifes, just as the continents are made of grains of sand and drops of wa ter. "You can catch derned more sight of flies with sugar than with vinegar" runs the homely old New England saying.-Exchange

%1oiiest" Spot in World.

The temple of Buddh-Gaya, in nOrth- eastern India. has strong claims to be- ing considered the holiest spot in the world-at least it would be so adjudged if the question were submitted to a universal suffrage. For Buddh-Gaya is the holy of holies of the Buddhist creed, whose believers outnumber those or any other. This is the very spot Where Buddha received enlightenment Of his heavenly mission 2,4OO years ago. When he arose after the miracle ana paced back and forth lotus flow er sprarg up and bloomed wherever he placed his foot. Ca,ved lotus blossoms of stone mark the footprints today.

P.A.Murrsy, Jr., Writes
Continued from page 81

NIT that until they get proportion
of at least six to one against the
Germans on the Western front and at
least ten times the artillery and aero
planes that they now have, there is no
chance of breaking through and that
even though they should obtain this
proportion of men, air-planes and ar
tillery, they would practically have to
blast their way through, which is a
| long, slow process. The ultimate vic
| tory will therefore come from the
fighting in the South or Southeast.
Russia is hopelessly out of the game
Germany has recently made advances
in the Balkans which open up large
supplies. Germany, said Major Cat
apani, is training large numbers OF
Turks for service in the Western
front, and they are the hardest fight
ers in the world, he declared.
Two years from now, when we
have three millions or more on The
fighting lines, when people in this
country begin wearing Grape, th,n
will they wake up and realize that
a war is going on.
Something Doing
There's something the Teutons
Will learn in this war,
And that is the lesson,
What we're in it for;
They'll gain this grim knowledge,
And all that it means,
When our transports get over,
and land the Marines.
Whe nthose men get busy,
And buckle to work,
With do-it-now vigor,
No effort to shirk,
They'll get the foe staring,
At step-lively scenes;
There'll be something doing
When they land the Marines.
No time they'll be losing,
But eager pitch in,
TO fight to the limit,
TO fight and to win;
They're the boys that can do it,
Their way victory leans,
For we're giving them fighters
When we land the Marines

wanted to get over Enthusiastically WIS
that the only window in the room
was barred and that there was only

When. nv n clever trick. Bentley
succeeds in, leaving the room and
yet bolting the door on the inside,
