VICTIM OF CARBUNCLE

Many friends of R. L. McDavid, the
veteran clerk at the Pensacola post
office, will regret to learn that he is
confined to his room, victim of a
carbuncle. He has been suffering
from such for the past ten days, but
recently an operation was decided on,
and this ordeal is expected to take
place within the next couple of days.

Ask Anyone Who Has Used It.

There are families who always aim
to keep a bottle of Chamberlain's

find that it is not only a good invest
ment but saves them no end of suf-
fering. AS to its reliability, ask any
one who has used it.--adv.

LODGE PEOPLE FOR
 ANDREWS MEASURE

Little Rock. Feb. 13.-Fraternalists all over the state are eagerly watch ing the course of the New York con- ference bill which was introduced in the house last week by Representa- tive Andrews of tNevadg county.
 It is a copy of the law that is now in force in 36 states of the Union, and that has been recommended by all the fraternal organizations of the country, and by practically all of the fraternal societies individually. No opposition is expressed against it, and petitions like the following, which is signed by hundreds of citizens of Pine Bluff representing score Of different societies, are being received by the senate:
 we, the undersigned members of fraternal beneficiary societies operat- ing in Jefferson county, Arkansas, hereby petition your honorable body for speedy favorable action on sen- ate bill No. 213 (The New York Con- ference bilD, as we feel this bill will protect the best interests of all mem bers of these societies and operate to tn benefit of the fraternal bene- ficiary system as a Whole.'
 The bill will not change the pres ont status of any society operating in the state. It provides that the standard of a society's solvency. as shown on December 31, 1917, shall be maintained and shown in each sue ceeding triennial valuation. Jt will not force any organization out of business. The examination by the in- surance commissioner every three years is one of the mandatory provi- sions. It is also provided that nc merger of two or more societies shal be made until the members are fully advised of the terms, and the merger has been apprived by the insurance commissioner

When come the annual floods, and large portion of Pine Bluff is inundat- ed, then listen to the demand that Something must be done" about the lakebed menace. Twill then be too late. It i3 cause for regret that the results of the labors of the committee of fifteen did not lead to selection of a plan to relieve the situation. The members of the committee did their work well, and deserve the gratitude of the entire communityf for if nothing came of their labors, it is the fault of the people, and not of the members of the committee.

RESULTS OF SUBMARINE
 CAMPAIGN,

In order to starve England, it is aN- nounced that Germany's submarines must sink ships totalling tonnage of 133,000 day.
 On not single day since February 1 has the tonnage amounted to 10O, 900.
 It is intimated from Ferlin that tho German officials realize that at this rate the submarine campaign will not attain it's object-the starvation of England. Of course, it is admitted on all sides that considerable havoc among shipping has resulted, and that the result of such a campaign cam 't be judged entirely by the amount ot tonnage sunk. If such "frightful- ness" prevents thousands of sailors from following their eccupation, f high insurance rates and possibilities of loss prevents owners of many ves- sells from risking the deeps, and f neutral vessels that have been sup plying England prefer to remain in port or ply to other countries not menaced by submarines. the Ger man campaign must be considered as least partly successful, even if Eng land remains alive.
 The point of this is, however, that if England cannot be starved ou3 by submarines, the realization of this might be an induCement to the German authorities to call it off in order to avoid the risk of war with the United States.
 This is rift in the dark clouds Admission by the German authorities that the diver campaign cannot attain its major object may at least result in modification of tn, decree. Bu. such modification will have to como quickly, as such good luck as we have been having in not being confronted with an overt act" cannot last for ever.
 It is said that German commanders of cumbarines already have orders tc exercise the greatest of care in the case of American ships, and if this is true, the ''overt act' may be Ions in coming, if ever.

TO REMEMBER THE MAINE.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The wars and rumors of war" that fill the at mosphere at the present time are likely to attract more than the ordi- nary amount of public attention to this years observance of the anni~ versary of te destruction of the bat tleship Maine in Havana harbor. Re- ports from all sections of the country indicate that the anniversary is to be generally observed by the various patriotic societies and organizations of veterans. In the capital the chief observance is to be held tomorrow night under the auspices of the Army and Navy union. Rear Admiral Ben- son and several members of congress; will be among the speakers. The secretary of the navy and the secre- tary of war have been invited to at- tend. Another notable participant in the exercises will be Rev. John P

and Tax-Collector R. H. Williams has observed for years that this work is unnecessary, and inaugurated the move for the elimination of the re- quirement from the general law, in- solar as Jefferson is concerned. Pine Bluff is visited during the tax-paying period by all taxpayers, and the re- ords will shoy that but very few avail themselves of the opportunity to pay their taxes on the occasion of the visit of the tax collector or his de- puty to the several precincts.
 The sheriff is not selfishly interest ed, because the expense is borne by the county. The chamber of con- mercc has endorsed the measure, and it is hoped that the legislature and governor will act favorably upon it.

It is amusing to watch the antics of some publications in their efforts to take credit for some good movement or legislation and at the same time avoid offending anyone by appearing to take sides on an issue. They couldn't be induced to inaugurate or even support movement that might meet with any opposition at all. Goodness, no. They might lose a dimes worth of business. But when the success of an undertaking has be- come assured thru the work of others, like the camp followers of an army, who let the soldiers do the fighting and then grab the spells, they rush forward with the cry, %, see what we did.' Truly, the lot of the straddling publications whose only desire is to get the shekels thru constant trim ming, without regard for the welfare of the community, is hard one. And the amusing part is they fail to "put it over" on discerning public.

This requirement. may be advisable in counties where the seats of government are remote from large sections of the counties, but 1t only entails needless expense and trouble in Jefferson county.

FORESTRY WOOD WILL
Be USED FOR FUEL

To meet any possible coal shortage
in the west next winter, more extern
sive use Of fuel wood from the ma
tional forests is urged by the gov
ernment's foresters. who are advis-
ing both ranchers and town dwellers
to be forehanded in making arrange
ments for the supply Of their fuel
needs.
The supervisors OF the 1853 ma
tional forests will be instructed to
afford all possible facilities to local
residents wishing to obtain cord
wood. which settlers may obtain
free for their home use and which
is sold at low rates to persons cut
ting and hauling in order to sell to
others. Since the material thus uti-
lized Is mainly dead timber, its re-
moval, II is explained, helps clean
up the forest and thus lessons the
fire menace. Timber which is in
sect-fested, or old and deteriorating
or otherwise damaged or undesirable
from the forester's standpoint r.
also disposed OF for fuel purposes.
The demand In the next ~ months
Is expected to break all records.
