by Marguerite Clark on st. Valen-
tines day. evidently from one of her
ardent admirers:
Myriad faces have | seen
A-lluringly smiling from the screen
Registering every known emotion.
Gaining my sincere devotion,
Until from my brain awhirl
Emerged a composite Valentine Girl.
Ruby lips that curve with charm.
Innocence that knowns no harm.
Teeth whose whiteness is Joy.
Eyes that win us, man or boy.
C-urls that frame witching face.
Laughter, though silent, filling space
Artist she is from fingers TO toes,
Records are broken wherever she
shows
Kindling great flames from the tin.

five-year period, 1912 having been se- lected as the basic year on which cal culations were made.
 As was expected, steel has develop ed the most pronounced skyrocketing tendency, steel prices being 14S.5 per cent above 1912. Cement comes next with 55.5 per cent advance, and brick third, 3S.1 per cent up. The figures for brick are based on the average prices prevailing in different sections of the country. In Pine Bluff brick has advanced only about $2 per thousand. Yellow pinc lumber trails the procession far in the rear, with an added cost of only 17.O7 per cent, and retains by greater margin than ever it's place as the cheapest of all building materials.

THE NEED OF HOMES.

One of the cities of the country has instituted a unique campaign having as its slogan, "a thousand houses for thousand homes."
 The idea is brilliant One. It sig nifies that not only arc homes desir- able, but that each home should en- joy house to itself
 It is one of the problems of Amer ican life that whenever town grows swiftly, the housing problem develops, and we find two or three families liv- ing under one roof; sometimes, in the case of apartment houses, we find six and eight.
 1t would be an ideal community where each family lived in single house-and owned it.
 Altho the proportion of home-own CTS to renters in Pine Bluff is greater than in most cities of similar size there are still too many families here residing in rented houses. Than the present there could be no letter time to purchase real estate in Pine Bluff It is the one thing of real value that has not increased in price propor tionately with the decrease in the value of money
 The city populated by people whC own their own homes is naturally fal ahead of the city whose people rent One is stable population, interested in improving conditions: the other inclined to be careless, because they have not the same interest in the city.

KILL "A LA CARTEL

Dining car service la carte. IS another wasteage of peace times that is threatened with extinction during the war.
 This a la care service on trains which, if you can't decipher the mean ing of French means "pay for what you order"-~is a source of tremendous loss in foods that are carried OF .lln- CTS and uncalled for d.,r'r9 trips: but as there is no telling what may be demanded by passengers >1n any par ticular trip, a generous assortment of everything on the mcEd card must be carried. As a res !t, tho cost must be increased to countcract the eos; of the wasteaSe, and tGat Is one req son why foods on diners a Ia carte usually costs 10 Jess .han twice as much as the sane foods COG: off the train.
 The logical system would be to have table d'hote system in vogue, which means having the same meal for all as is done on steamers. This would result in reduced price to passen gers and they would undoubtedly like it better.

PRESS COMMENT.
Loyalty in South.

''To the Editor of the Pioneer Press :: ! I visted in the south not long ago. 1 What a. contrast I found there com ] pared with the mouthings of partly | educated agitators, socialists, anar-
 chists and hyphenates in the north!
 Those ex-Confederates are loyal to the
 core. It was good to get away from the hotbeds of treachery in the north and to he once more in the company of loyal Americanism unsullied by foreign ingrates. We are cursed by the presence of nearly all the misfits of Europe, who abuse the liberty we give them. Must we always put up
 with the snarling alien who snaps at
 the hand that welcomes him to Ameri-
 ca? Must we continue to import agi-
 tators tc teach us how to run this land with made-inGermany brands of so-
 cialsm? Go down south, loyal Minne-
 sotans, and get breath of American "DISGUSTED." Thus writes a citizen to the St. Paul (Minn) Pioneer Press.
 The attitude of the exConfederates
 in this war is universally correct. Here and there some politician in
 the south agitates against the method
 of conducting the war, but the ex-Con- fedcrates know that to win the war it
 takes men and money and plenty of
 both to fight it out. They feel also that selectivc draft is democratic. It is unfortunate, however, that we have some men in the south whose
 people have been in this country for 1 six generations and are more disloyal
 in tendencies than some of the hyphe- 1 mates of the north.
 But as the grasp of the problem be- comes more intelligent. the number of these will decrease.
 Put every native born American
 and every American whose father fought ,n the Mexican war and during
 the war of 1912 ought to by example
 encourage those who come later to
 aspire to the highest ideals of citizen
 ship.-Memphis Commercial Appeal.
