Reports of tho enumcratofs obtain ing information for a directory of Pine Bluff indicate that the popula- ticn will total about 9 900, including those persons residing just outside tho city limits, and ssho should be included in the population of Pine Bluff.
 This fact and incidents connected with the municipal primary Tuesdav show that the limits of the Vt3 should be extended. The people re- siding just outside the present cor poration enjoy practica ly all the cor veniences of persons residing within thc corporate lines. Practically al depend upon Pine Bluff for thcr livelihood. They ought not 10 object 10 contribute 10 the cost of the gov crnment the benefits of whidh thcf enjoy. It is unlikely any would d so.

INSURANCE FUNDS FOR FARM

\ financial authority reports that li3 big insurance tpmpanies own $65J 06O,GGe 1T farm mortgages. And the situation as to locality seems strange until tire full ft@ts are know :. For in the tasi, where the rates Of interest are at their lowest. few mortgages arc held; and in the South ard Southwest, though more mor*- gages are held in those sections than in the East, comparatively few are held by these companies compared with the millions held in Inc North Central states such states as Iowa and Nebraska arc loaded down with mortgages held by great insurance companies.
 The -sason for this rs that thc in tercat rates are satisfactory, .nvcsti- gatjon by agents say, and sedlrity ample. In tfc South and Southwest Che business has been tightly in the hands of tac local investors and banks, and the facilities for invesii- 8ation have been more difficult.

The gratitude Of every friend of Mid
debury is due and undoubtedly paid to
the unnamed benefactor whose offer of
500, 900 to the college was announced
by Dr. Thomas this week. The offer,
conditional upon the raising of $500, 900
from other sources prior to June l, 1918,
presents splendid opportunity for the
college to get what, as is plain from DR..
Thomas statement at the Commence
ment dinner, the college 80 sorely needs,
namely an adequate endowment fund.
President Thomas is to be congratulated
on the success he has had in raising
other funds which have done so much to
bring the college up-to-date in struct-
ural way.
He has proved more or less of g
wizard at fund raising, but it cannot
be expected that even wizards pow
ers are unlimited in such business
and it seems plain that if the college is
to grasp its new opportunity in the
face of war conditions it can be accom-
plished only through widespread re
spouse from the thousands of alumni
and friends of the institution. 1t il
understood that the campaign is alread!
on, and The Register will from time tt

Middebury has good reason to be
proud of the manner in which it rallied
last night to the support of the Red
Cross, pledging in an hours time more
than the $500 asked as part of the
States campaign this week to raise
100000. Doubtless there are some
who were not present at the meeting
who can see their way clear to spare
another dollar, another five or another
ten, or more, for what is one of the
worthiest services that the stay-at-
home can render in this war. Scattered
through this edition of The Register
are some patriotic slogans, and one of
the best of these, whose original
author is unknown to US, is "Give to

pressure, but what of those who will
fight for us-fght to their death
