The war is not adding to at least least one line of business, that of the lawyer. War does not produce litiga- tion. The people are too busy to at tend law suits A Pulaski county judge the other day dismissed a jury so they could go home and look after their farm work, which he considered Of greater importance than sitting in the jury box A Little Rock business man who is doing the work Of two or three men jestingly remarked that his wife threatened to sue him for di- vorce just as soon as he had time to defend the suit The courts have less business than they had had in years, and the lawyers find much spare time to play golf, run for office and clip coupons on past earnings. Everybody else is busy, and be it said to the cred it of the legal fraternity. they are philosophers, and are accepting the conditions without complaint. The lawyers are among the most loyal sup porters of the government and are an- swering every call for service.

J. N. Barall of Dallas, Texas, who is buying corn in Boone County, was waited on at Alpena few days ago by committee of citizens and ordered to leave the community at once, it being. rumored that the corn buyer was a German and that the corn was for shipment to Mexico. Barrall went to Harrison and employed a lawyer and had warrants sworn out charging the members of the committee with breach of the peace. Mutual explan- ations followed, and it developed that, while Barrall talks "Dutchy," he is a Roumanian and a naturalized citizen of the United States and has a son in the American Army; furthermore, the corn was for shipment to the drouth stricken portion of Texas. He had al- ready purchased large quantities of corn which was awaiting shipment when the irate citizens invited him to leave.

Disloyalty is not popular in Arkan- sas, although there are sporadic cases of seditious talk and pro-German pro- paganda brought to the attention of the federal authorities. The chief menace of this species of enemy ac- tivity is the fact that 1t is insidious in it's influence, and unless checked is likely to spread until it permeates a community.
 The public schools are notably free from it, and yet it is found oc- casionally even there. An instance came to light in a Little Rock school last week. An eighth grade girl ev- idently of German parentage, made disloyal remarks about the flag, and became so persistent in her condem- nation of things American that the other children resented it. The mat ter was brought to the attention of the teacher who compelled the child to salute the flag in the presence of the whole school. And the teacher then delivered lecture on patriotism which was applauded to the echo.

A NEST IN A POCKET.


A little bird went to and fro,
In spring, the nesting season,
And sought TO shelter high and low,
Until, for some queer reason,
She flew into granary,
Where, on nail suspended,
The farmers coat she CHANGED to
And then her search was ended.
The grain was heaped up to the
There not a creature met her;
The coat had hollows deep and soft
Could any thing be better?
And where it hung, how safe it was,
Without breeze to rock it.
Come, busy little beak and claws,
Build quick inside pocket.
Three speckled eggs soon warmly
lay :.
Beneath the happy sitter;
Three little birds oh, joy one
day
Began to ehirp and twitter
And then -ah, can you guess the
The farmer came one morning,
And took the coat down from the
nail
Without word of warming.
Poor little frightened motherling-
Out of her nest she fluttered,
And each unfledged, small, downy
Its terror piping uttered
Tllla good man started back aghast
But merry was his wonder
When, i'll the pocket, he at last
Found such unlooked-for plumber
He put the. coat back carefully:
Wis we'll | have another;
You need not be afaird OF me, /
You bright-eyed little mother.
know just how you feel, poor
thing,
For have youngsters, bless you
There's stop your foolish fluttering
Here no one shall distress you.
Then cheerfully he walked away
To tell his wife about it
How in the coat the nestlings lay
And he must do without it.
She smiled, and said she knew h,
|, could,
And so, all unmolested,
The mother birdie and her brood
Safe in the pocket rested,
Till all the little wings were Set
In proper flying feather;
| And then there was a nest to let
For off they floeked together.
The farmer keeps it still to- show
And says that he's the debtor;
His coat is none the worse, yol
know,
While he's a little better.
