DATE IS CHANGED FOR THE
 RIG PLEDGE CARD CAMPAIGN
At Request of the President, It Has Been Deferred One Week, to
 October 2S-NOvember 4.

At the request of President Wilson, Herbert Hoover has deferred the date of the big Food Pledge Campaign from the week of October 21-2S to the week of October 2S-November i, so that there may be no conflict of dates be- tween that and the Liberty Loan cam paign. The President says:
 "In asking this alteration of the plans of yourself and associates, 1 should like to take this occasion to impress upon them that I In no way underrate the importance of their ef fort. If we are to supply our allies with the necessary food and are to re- duce our own prices on food stuffs during the coming winter, it can be accomplished only by the utmost self denial and service on the part of all our people through the elimination Of waste and by rigid economy in the use of food. Therefore I would be glad if you would convey to all your staff throughout the country my feeling of the prime importance of their plans and their work"

NO GOODS SO
 QUIT ADVERTISING
SOUTHWESTERN SUPPLY COM PANY, LITTLE ROCKS MOST CONSISTENT ADVERTISER,
 CANCELS ADVERTISING.

Why induce people to buy goods through advertising when you can't get them remarked Jo Lyons, presi- dent of the Southwestern Supply Company on Monday when he ordered his advertising out of all Little Rock newspapers Ever since the South western Supply Company began bust ness two years ago. it has advertised daily in Little Rock papers.
 "It is an impossiblity to get goods in the machinery line. have just been the rounds of the factories try ing to get supplies that 1 bought early in the spring. The first factory went to l found nineteen cars ahead of my order They must be delivered before l can be reached, and my or der was placed in May.
 One of the engine factories has inst taken an order from the govern ment for about s5,000,000 worth of en- zines to be used on torpedo boat de- stroyers. and the contract must be completed in year.
 Another factory, handling trucks, was called on by the government for statement of it's capacity, replying that 1t could make twenty trucks a day. The government replied that it wanted sixty each day. The manufac- turers replied that it was an impossi- hility The government came back with the request that the manufactu- rers move out their office force and permit the Poyegnment to take charge, asserting that i, would be able to turn out the required sixty The manufacturers then made improve ments sufficient to turn out the sixty and are doing 1t, but no one but the government is getting trucks from that plant.
 q went to wagon factory. l found it building trailers for the govern ment, with contract that will take the entire output of the factory
 "As the government increases it's requirements, the factories are goTns to be drawn more and more from the market, and goods will get scarcer. With this situation staring me in the face, l just decided to pull in my horns and let things rock along until the factories can let us have goods.

PERKINS ROAD
 TO BE IMPROVED
COUNTY JUDGE MILES ADVISED THAT $25,ooo IS TO BE SPENT eY THE DISTRICT IN BUILD
 ING THE PIKE.

That work will be begun within a short time on seven miles of roadway in Perkins Township. which, when completed, will provide we'll i'm proved highway between Little Rock and Pine Bluff, was learned by Judge Lee Miles of the Pulaski County court
 Judge Miles was advised that ar. engagements had been agreed upon by which the commissioners of the town ship road district would raise about $25,000 to carry on this improvement. The county court has contracted 10 hardsurface the improved road after the dump and bridges are completed.
 The commissioners of the Perkins Township road improvement district are Gordon Greenfield, w M. Farrell. Oscar Wilson, A. Ziegler and Perry Byrd Although the district has not completed it's organization sufficiently to issue bonds for the improvement Of the road, this will be done later

CITIZENS PLANT
 TO BE REBUILT
DISTILLED WATER ICE COMPANY WILL CLOSE DOWN AS SOON AS GOVERNMENT CONTRACT IS
 FILLED FOR THAT PURPOSE.

The Citizens Ice & Cold Storage Go, wholesale dealers of distilled Wa ter ice, has closed contract by which it delivers to the government at Camp Pike, $13,50O worth of ice be- ore the last of November.
 When this contract is completed the plant will be closed down and practically rebuilt, making it the most modern in the state. One of the big items will be the construction of 8 storage vault with a capacity of many tons This will permit the factory to begin storing ice early in the year, and have quite a large supply on hand when the heavy shipping season ar- rives.
 The Citizens company operates no delivery wagons, devoting it's entire time to wholesale orders, the re-icing of refrigerator cars and railroad busi- ness. When the fruit season is on there is large demand for ice, and there is usually a shortage, but the storage vaults will relieve this to a great extent next year.
 The Citizens Company is an Ark ansas concern, all the officers being residents of the state. R. l.. Whaley. the affable manager of the company, is native of Louisiana, but has been so long in the state that he is prac- tically one of us. He was manager of ice plants in the oil fields of that state, and has had much experience in the ice business.
 The Camp Pike contract comes at time of the year when ice plants arc virtually closed, September, Octo Der and November being considered winter months in the ice business. IL forces the company to operate full crew much later than usual, but this crew will be required all winter this year in order to assist in the improve ments that are to be made.
 For a concern that has been in ope- ration only since June, the Citizens plant has made quite a record. It was purchased by the present owners at court sale, at that time, and inn provements necessary to permit . it to care for large orders were imme- diately made. These did not meet all the requirements, so more exten- sive enlargements must be made dur ing the winter.

experienced it looks though the only hope for peace
"a clean victory for side or the other
That being the case what is the condition facing the
allies?
First it must be admitted that Germany is far from
an exhausted nation, however much may hope that
such the The tenacty with which she holds
her position in the fact of staggering onsaughts of the
French and English is ample proof Of this.
Again, it becomes more apparent each day that little
reliance be placed in Russia positive aggressive
force She may keep up semblance Of offensive, but
unless she greatly improves, that will be ALL She has
too many forces within her borders pulling in different
directions. In time she may ha onize these but it will
take time and her aid is needed if it is to be of any
benefit
Viewed from whatever angle may view it, the con-
ict narrows down to fight to inish with the United
States the deciding factor.
And to be such deciding factor, she must throw such
force the waters shall by sheer numbers make
successful resistance by Germany no longer possible.
Every loyal citizen Of this country will dedicate his
services and his life to this purpose. The who at
this time seeks to place obstacles in the way Of the gov
ernment is not worthy the citizenship he enjoys and
should be forever deprived of it.
There is absolutely in this country for the OBJ

LITTLE PROSPECT OF PEACE.

We hear much of the desire of the warning nations for
peace especially germany and AUSTRIA and nothing could
give the people OF this country greater satisfaction But
glance at conditions they will convince the most
optimistic that peace is still long way off,
IN the first place, the map of Europe and other parts
OF e world has been much changed since this war began
Whe Germany has lost her colonial possessions she has
occupied other territory which, in the she can hold
has lost Great Britain will scarcely consent to relnmish
the German territory she has conquered nor will France
make peace without restoration by Germany of Asace-
Lorraine. Japan has Kia-Chau, taken from Germany
ana German armies are overruning large portions Of
Russian territory
Again, there has been no intmation that either the
central or entente powers would agree peace without
indemnity And the matter Of indemnity is mountain
OF dlficuty in the way Of peace negotiations Billions
nave been spent by each sde and the best blood of all
the nations has been spilled That each would contend
for indemnity unless conquered outright there can be no
shadow or doubt That neither would think of grant
ing indemnity there also be no doubt.
With this state of affairs prevailing and with the great
est bitterness and hatred existing that the world has
