"To ARKANSAS.'

ITO ARKANSAS" Come where the sun shines brightest, Come where the flowers in sweetest
 fragrance bloom. Come where the birds sing merriest Come where there's always plenty
 room. Then you'll be in Pulaski County, In the State of Arkansas. The only state of all the states That's free from any flaw. Arkansas, oh, name so thrilling. How we love to boast thy fame. Better far. than gold or grandeur Is that one familiar name. We who have grown from childhood, Into the age we now be; Still cling to the place of our birth
 land
 With loyalty that's all for thee. As time passes OCT and leaves us Aged. enfeebled with care. One bright ray of hope is there left
 us,
 To still have home right here. Here's where the true Southern hon-
 age
 Reaches out welcoming hand And finds a seat for the visitors Among the jolly band. Their hearts are true to chivalry, And the doors there are wide Open to those that are worthy, To find place inside. The smile of inspiration, That gladdens every soul, And leads us on to victory, And helps us win the goal, Is found on every genial face That breathes the pure air. So come ye all to this good place, It doesn't matter where. For all the places are hard to beat, And here's a big Hurrah For all of those who're lucky enough To live in Arkansas.

The Afedico Laurentian Museum of
Florence. Italy, has in It's possession
what is said to be the most valuable
book III the world. This book Is called
the CodeN Amiatnus and is pro-
nounced by some scholars to be per-
haps the oldest and by all odds the
best ancient Latin manuscript of the
Bible. The work is believed to have
been copied from the translation by
ST Jerome, which lie made direct from
early Greek and Hebrew scripts. It's
origin is placed in the ninth century.
and is thought to have been the handi-
work of English priests.
Only recently has the true character
of this book become known. For
many years it was owned by the Monte
Amiati convent. without anyone being
aware of its true value. OF course it
was known to be of great antiquity
and was highly priced on that ac-
count. But II remained for Italian
!. scholars to discover its real signifi-
I canoe. The work Is now priceless. II

According to the Washington
correspondent of the Chicago

for the democratic presidential

of these gentlemen expects to
receive the presidents support.
This is all very interesting.
though it occurs to us that con-
fidence of democratic success i
rather premature It is not to be
anticipated that Mr.. Wilson and
his advisors will conduct tins
war entirely without error. There
are already ugly rumors regard
ing conditions at some Of the
cantonments, and we think it
quite likely that there will be in
yestigatonS of the huge eX-
pendltures later. The democratic
administration is carrying great
responsibility and, considering
all difficulties. has done much
better thus far than the country
expected. Without doubt there
will be criticisms of a most seri-
Gus Kind, unless this war differs
wholly from all other wars in our
history.
We think the members Of Mr.
Wilson's cabinet who are aspir-
! ing to the presidency 4 mediocre
lot with two or three eXcep-
tons; certainly, not one of
them measures half way to
their chief. Their ambitions for
| higher office are amusing when
we pause to think that they over
look the man who for twenty
Years has been the biggest demo-
crat in their party and who still
holds the title over all aspirants.

Shoes Fit Only Is
OF Each 100 Soldiers
"Blunder" in Purchase of
Army Footwear, 1t Is Said,
Will Cost Millions
IStnfCorrespondence

WASHINGTON, Dec. ga complete
revision of the quartermaster gem
erals tariff tables" governing army
shoe sizes is now being formulated.
This follows the discovery by both
army and civilian investigators that
only - per cent of the men in the
military service have satisfactory shoe
fits. As pointed out in The Tribune,
the faulty tariff tables used as basis
for the great shoe orders placed by
Ouartermaster General Sharpe will
cost the government millions OF dol
lars.
The blunder is aggravated by the
fact that the faultiness OF the existing
tariff tables" was pointed out before
the United States entered the war and
before a single large shoe order had
been placed. Examinations OF soldiers
on the Mexican border during the 1916
mobilization developed all the infor-
nation now 10 be the basis for
reformation in the quartermsster's de-
partmcnt. The results OF those eX-
aminations coincide very fully with
the more recent examination of the
shoe fits of drafted men, and have been
the subject of criticism IN medical
journals.
The government has purchased 10
date more than 100000 pairs Of army
shoes. at a price in the neighborhcod
of s4.7J. Experts estimate that the
wearing qualities OF ill-ftting shoes
is reduced more than 80 per cent. Be
side this loss in the serviceableness OF
the shoes. IL is pointed out. tremen-
dous reduction in the efficiency of the
soldier results from faulty footwear.
Explaining the proposed revision OF the
shoe tariff tables. the War Department
today issued a statement, which reads
in part as follows:
examinations made OF several diff
fereut groups OF men by both army
officers and civilians brought reports
indicating that only 10 per cent OF
these men had shoes fitted 20 the sat
isfaction of the exam iners..
General Pershing has already rec
ommended dropping from the tables

the narrowest width. A. in all sizes,
and adding 70 them the various widths
