Adviees have been received from
Captain Ownbey. commanding Com
pany 4, the local company of Ark
ansas Guards, at Deming, n. NJ, to
the effect that the mess fund" of the
company IS now exhausted. This
menas that the boys will not have any
added delcacies to their menu, but
must fare on regulation feed
Captain Own6ey calls attention to
the fact that it is anticipated that the
End Arkansas would be re- called with
in the next thirty days, and that a
mess fund" should be provided fo~
the boys before their return trip, and
also after they reached Fort Roots.
Just what position the present
crisis with Germany will place on the
End Regiment eff Arkansas is not
known, although Governor Brough has
rendered the services of the entire
Arkansas troops to the use Of the War
Department in case of eventualities
A mess fund for the local com
pany will probably have to be raised
by popular subscription, on the same
order as the fund provided before the
company left for the Mexican border
service.
The advantage eli a mess fund" to
company is better shown by the re-
marks Of some Of the local boys who
have returned from service. They state
that IN making the trip to neming
from Fort Roots, that the mess fund"
enabled them to have something to
eat. while the regular fare offered
would have been very LIGHT
The News will he clad to publish
the names of all those who desire to
contribute to mess fund for Com

New tnaJ the RESTRAINT 81 sc last
three years has been removed, the
genuine 1feelings of the people are
coming TO the surface in Arkansas.
The severance of diplomatic rela-
tons with Germany has developed a
fact that has long been recognized, but
not openly expressed, that the pro-
ally sentiment IS much greater than
any sentiment that has favored the
cause of the central powers.
There was an outburst of applause
in the House when an official message
was read announcing the action of the
Government at Washington. a few
minutes later q resolution Was intro

The sentiment faVoring a new Con
stitution continues to grow, and It IS
believed that another week or ten days
will witness the passage Of the bill
providing for the calling of con
vention to draft It The bill has al
ready passed the Senate, where It
failed two years ago, and is making
progress in the House. Gov Brough
is back Of the movement, and is urging
his friends 20 support the movement.
The only difference that exist at this
time are as 70 the representation. and
that is a matter Of detail rather than
principle.
The plan Is TO have an election of
delegates on June 26, and for the hold
ing of the convention during the Win
ire months. beginning Nov 49, The
convention would last two or three
months. because its work would be for
generations. and must necessarily be
made as nearly amendmeHt-proof as
fallible man can make it. The CON
stitution as finally adopted, would be
submitted TO the people for their rat
ifieatlon at special election, where
II would be the only subject voted on
and ratification would require only a
majority vote
III is an administration measure
Coz Brough said in his inaugural mess
age After careful study Of our
needs ard the conditions prevalent in
the state, am firmly convinced that
Arkansas needs new government gar
ments and that the patch work of the
initiative and referendum Will no lon
ger suffice to make some Of our
threadbare political necessities pre-
sentable.
THE keynote Of the present is ex-
pansien, rather than contraction, pro
gress rather than limitations; con
fidence in our lawmakers and public
servants, rather that supicion of
them"
The governor estimates that three
months session would cost not more
than $4,000 which is s7,707 less than
publishing the & r Amendments in

steal impossibility the members say,
for not only must they make new as

county. but each property must be
manned and six months is not nearly
enough time for the work.
one Of the strange phases Of the
law creating the county board Of as

elected last fall will continue their
work instead Of being superseded by
county board. so that there is found
to be duplicat On Of assessments
on all properties and probably con

county board and those fixed by the
district assessors. The county board
is not a board Of appeal or revision
from the assessment made by district
assessors but is only a board OF or

say that a mistake was made in the law
creating their board by leaving the
