SCANDAL IN WAR HOSPITALS

"To sit at the end of a ped and smoke cigarettes with a wounded officer does not develop the efficiency of a hos pital " writes the Countess of Warwick about the English society butterfly.
 The countess, who is very widely known in Europe and is a D. eminent worker in woman's interests, as well as an author sets forth this in her latest book, "A Woman and the War"
 In writing her scathing comments about society Wom.l and nursing in war time the countess recalls the South African war scandals, when it was necessary to bar society women from the hospitals. All know that South Africa did not tithe the possibilities of folly and excess" she writes and con- t;nues:
 For once I am not pleading for my own sex; I plead for one part of it gainst the other, for a majority against the minority, for those who are doing what they are paid to do against those who are voluntary workers.
 Exposed to Scandalous Annoyance
 ''The position comes a little strangely to me when l look at it in this light but the highly trained, conscientious. pains taking hospital nurse, whose patient heroism proclams her a true follower of Florence Nightengale, has been ex- posed to scandalous annoyance for no good purpose and to no useful end, and 1 feel that l must plead her cause, since she is i'll the last degree unlikely to plead it for herself.
 AS soon as the greatest struggle of Uur history started in August, 1914, cer- tain women of means and position pro- ceeded as silently and unostentatiously as was possible under the circum stances to equip hospitals and to set about their self appointed work. , "Unfortunately there is in London to- day a very large company of young women to whom war was little more than new sensation. They are not old enough to understand or young enough to be restrained.
 Under the rose they have not di- unfinished their afOretime gaiety; dances and dinner parties have been the order of the hour. They have not been trum- peted by the section of the press that delights in recording vain things, but those who view the currents of Lon dons social life know that l am writing the simple truth.

ESSENTIAL TO LABOR PEACE
Arbitration Plans Must Include Eff
 cient Business Management

All schemes of arbitration assume that labor can be pacified if it's de- mands are rationalized and kept within the bounds of the fair and reasonable" They assume that all employers are entirely capable Of meeting these fair and reasonable demands once they are clearly de- fined They take no sufficient ac- count of the fact that the average employer is a man with very limited mastery of the science of business management. and that his unaided capacity for meeting the reasonable demands of labor is surprisingly slight.
 IL is absurd to assume that the en- ployers pay low wages because they are heartlessly greedy for profits Most of them would gladly pay liv- ing wages if they knew how. But the average garment manufacturer

Seek to Restrain Extra
County Tax Collection

Another chapter is added this
week to Monroe county political
history by the filing of the papers
on Tuesday with Circuit Clerk
Holloway in a suit in the Monroe
Circuit Court, the case styled
Jas. Engle ct al VS. R. F. Mil
wee, Collector, and T. T. Malone,
County Clerk" whereby re-
straining order is prayed re-
straining the collection of the
additional 5 mill county tax and
asking that if it is collected that
it be refunded to the tax payers
of Monroe county in kind paid.
The filing of this suit is said to
be an outcome of the recent re-
fusal of Judge Trimble while
sitting in Lonoke Circuit Court,
to grant an injunction having
same effect.
The case will come up at the
April term of Monroe Circuit
Court, and in view of the fact
that it touches the purse string
of every Monroe county tax pay
er, it will no doubt arouse some
interest.
1t is claimed by many thai
Engle is not in good faith in his
suit, while Engle himself claims
that his action in bringing the
suit is prompted by solely patri.
otic impulses.

From Holly Grove

Will Mccoy, age 21, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Usher Mccoy Of Holly
Grove, Ark, died March 4th,
after a brief illness. Will had a
severe attack of the measles
which developed into pneumonia.
This young man was a clean
industrious and obedient boy. He
loved his parents and sought to
do that which was pleasing to
them. He was a promising
young farmer, and knew how to
manage the farm to the best ad-
vantage. The community feels
that it has sustained a loss in
the death of this useful young
man.
Brother Mccoy was converted
a few years ago in revival
meeting and sought to live a
clean Christian life. We are
sure that his parents may have
the hope of meeting him in
heaven in the future.
1t is with sorrow that we think
of this young life being cut off
in this world. He was just
entering into the strength of
young manhood. All was look
ing bright ahead. and yet in one
short week he had been called
into eternity from whence no
one returns. However there is
this consolation, that no life
effort is lost, and it is often the
case that a life at twenty yone is
better rounded out than some
lives at seventy. 1t is not the
length of time that one lives that
counts but the manner In WHICH
it is lived, and whether the life
was in Christ.
The young mans funeral was
preached by DR.. Marrison, at the
Presbyterian Church, and his re-
mains were laid to rest in the
cemetery at Blackton, Ark. His
many friends sympathize with
his grief stricken parents, and
sincerely hope that God may
comfort them in their sorrow and
prepare them to so live that they
may hope to meet their loved
one in eternity where he now
abides.
