 Even diamonds cost more. This is especially true of the small stones which have greater market than the larger ones. Before the war they could be bought for $36 carat, and now they are selling at $240, The duties on diamonds are almost prohibitive The ante-bellum import duty of 10 per cent has been doubled, and in addition there has been levied per cent from Africa to London, 6 per cent from London to Amsterdam, and per cent from Amsterdam to America.

 There promises to be an interest ing contest for the presidency of the convention. Among those already avowed candidates, or prominently mentioned for presiding officer are Judge John Ike Moore of Helena. Judge Tom M Mehaffy of Little Rock, Hon J. " Walker of Fayette- vile, OH Wilson of Popec ounty, and former Congressman T. c. Me Rae of Prescott. Others may de- velop. Any of these men would make an excellent presiding officer, some better than others-take your choice. There will not be so many clerical positions as there are in the Legis lature, but there will be a few, and there will be no lack of applicants. Harvey G. Combs and Jim Higgins are most prominently mentioned in connection with the office of chief celrk.
 Those who use to oppose, on prin- ciple, the standing army, declaring that should occasion require it for the repelling of an invasion or the protection of our homes, the people would arise en masse, and we could have an army of any required num- Der of millions, over night, fully drilled and equipped, are probably changing their mind about it now. This making an army is one of the biggest jobs ever undertaken. Nine ty days will have elapsed from the time of the draft, until the first in- crement of thirty per cent of the 687,000 men reports on Sept. 5. And that is only the beginning. It is costing the government five or six million dollars to build quarters for them, and tremendous problems in connection with the new National Army are confronting the city and state as well as the nation. On account of the large per cent of exemptions that have been claimed, the exemption and appeal boards are finding their task a stupendous one. Scores of clerks and assistants have been required in the office of the Adjutant General, who has had the distribution of several tons of hun- dreds of different kinds of blanks in connection with the draft. So it fol lows that it has been no simple mat ter to get together even an army of less than seven hundred thousand men ready to oppose seasoned Ger man troops.
 The appointment of Adjt. Gen. Lloyd England as a Brigadier- -Gener- al by President Wilson, is recognized by all as most merited recog- nition of military ability and fidelity. His promotion, however, will leave vacant the position of Adjutant-Gen
