Ask Your Banker.

Everyone should strive to have q bank account, especially every man and boy, be 1t ever so small. One loses nothing in the esteem of his employer and friends by being seen going into pr coming out of a bank. Neither does the individual lose any self-re- spect by being seen at a bank counter, which is more than can be said of some places. There are plenty of good banks; pick out one and stick to it: and when you are tempted to invest in some alluring get-rich-Quick scheme, go to your banker and ask his advice. It will not cost you anything to do this, and may save you a loss you cannot afford. It may safely be assumed that If this course were pursued by all of us the money sunk in swindles, fake schemes and impossible enterprises would be reduced to point where it actually would not pay to make the at
 tempt. Before investing, ask your banker.-Popular Mechanics Magazine.

THE JURY WAS RIGHT.

"Thou shalt not kil''--Except
 The first four words are of Godly origin ;the fifth man-made.
 For it seems in these progressive days that there are times when it IS permissible to kill
 There was the excuse of the "un- written law" of which we heard much some years back; there was the more recent case of Danny Shay, former Milwaukee baseball manager, who was released after killing a negro in Indianapolis because he said he did it in self-defense after being "provoked;' and there was the case of Alice Carl son, a girl who was released in Kala- mazoo after having killed her father on account of his cruelty to his fami- ly. Lastly, there is the case of Mrs. DeSaulles, who won her free dom after killing her husband by esta- blishing the fact that she had fiji of nerves intensive to the degree o1 overthrowing temporarily both judg- ment and memory.
 The common law doctrine of self defense has been expanded to in- clude not only self-defense of person but self-defense of interest.

THE MILLS OF THE GODS.

It was Russias act in announcing the determination to protect 'Servia from Austria that gave Germany the excuse to start this world butchery and now the one-time protector of the weak is shaking the bloody hands its own act unloosed upon the threats of the nations of the earth.
 But the mills of the Gods continue to grind. Russia is a dismembered nation, groping about in sanguinary chaos of rebellion and confusion.
 In the rotation of fate Austria should be the next victim and follow ing fast upon it's collapse. the world should see Germany, another blind ed Polyphemus, reeling in brutal but helpless rage, seeking it's horrible human meal but finding nothing but

The Graphic suggests that the name "Gabe Meyer" be kept in perpetual re- memberance by the people of Pine Bluff, and, more especially, that it be planted deep within the hearts of the children of this city, so that for ages yet to come it will be heard falling from their lips in connection with the work that natures childhood and youth and prepares it to meet the problems of life.
 To this end one of the best of the city's schools should receive the name of him who, for the advancement of education, gave of his fortune, of his intellect, of his life and of his love.
 It is surely but small tribute to the memory of a man, who has con tributed so largely toward the equip- ment of youth for the battles of life, to fix his name in perpeuity to one of the buildings devoted to learning, and, if The Graphic has read aright the noble and unselfish and affectionate nature of the departed philanthropist, there could be nothing more satisfy ing and pleasing to him than to hear the children of Pine Bluff mingling his name daily among themselves in their discussions of the tasks, the pleasures and the hopes connected with life at the "Gabe Meyer" school.

Oyster Cheap Food.

Only the sea herring can equal the oyster in cash value as a product of the sea. This is partly because they are so palatable and partly because they are so inexpensive. A pint can usually be purchased for 20 cents on the coasts and a nourishing stew for several persons can be made of a pint of oysters. The North Atlantic ocean produces more oysters than are to be found in the oyster beds of all other countries, but oyster farming is a profitable industry in many lands. The mid-Atlantic coast Is particularly noted for its oysters.

ITALIANS MAKING GOOD.

The Italians have been hanging or by their teeth and now are beginning to chew. They have done great dea better than the Allies recently antici. pated. For a time there were gloomy forebodings in all the war reports re- specting the probable inability of the Latins to hold the Piave line These reports gave it as certainly that Venice would have to be abandoned The situation is now of such a charac- ter that the Italians will probably hold the Piave line indefinitely, es- pecially with French and British re- Inducements.

rifle PROWESS
IBy Associated P,assl

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July 6. -
Target practise at Fort Scott Is near
ing an end for the student officers in
the reserve officers training camp
here. The fifth and sixth companies
are the last on the list for this char
acter of drill. Many of the men have
qualified as expert marksmen, which
demands. a score Of 263.
When these last two companies
leave the range, every man in the
camp, whose work has to do with such
essentials of warfare as trench and
open fighting will have had chance
at the target. THIS range work Is to
perfect the candidate for commits
sion in both pistol AMI rifle shooting.
So far the highest man has rolled
up score Of 273, which Is 20 points
above that required for the expert
marksmRn's badge. To be q sharp
shooter man must get a score of 23S
on the range. There are many who
have passed this figure. On the whole
the shooting has come up to the ex-
pectations of the army men in charge.
the recruits showing keen desire to
learn every angle Of the target game.
In this range firing many things
are taken into consideration such as
wind velocity, distance, sighting and
like essentials. The rockies found the
moving targets the hardest to handle,
but some Of them proved themselves
actually expert in finding these marks.
The popular moving target at Fort
Scott is one that bobs up and down
in a confusing manner. Competition
at this target was especially keen, and
the enthusiasm displayed by the men
in trying to find the bobbing mark
was cause of rejoicing among the
officers.
The trick Of pulling the trigger by
moving the whole hand instead Of one
crooked finger aided in making many
high scores The men, were shown

elevation of its bore. after the aim
has been fixed when but. one finger
is used. The use Of the whole hand
is declared to do away with this tilt.
