If incontrovertable evidence of Pine Bluffs steady growth were needed, it is furnished by the adver- tisement of local real estate firm which is advertising, eve are in need of several small four or five-roc n modern houses"
 Think of it! Despite the hundreds or small homes erectei here in the past few years; despite the large number in course of construction, the demand for small, mo. .crn houses IS greater than the supply.
 We know of no city or town where similar condition exists; condi- tion that emphatically demonstrate $ that Pine Bluffs prosL erity and de- velopment are based cn such sold foundation that nothing-not even the worlds greatest war-can inter- fere with the prosperity or stop tn } growth. Nothing except the moss hackism of citizens, a,id even that CdullOL cause tIc CCNGlOpuleuC Ju more than hesitate for brief time.
 As matter of fac:, the progress siveness of Pine Bluff people is ove"- coming obstacles and situations in terfering with prosperity and growth of other towns and cities. In this community we are spending millions for good roads, drainage and flood prevention; in the city street i'm provement continues Inabated, and building operations show no sign of slackening. And what's more, other improvements are contemplated.
 Pine Bluffs industries are work ing full time and one of the city $ biggest plants is doubling the ca pacity of one of it's mills.
 Is it any wonder small, modern houses are in demand in Pine Bluff?

DIVERS AND RULE OF SEA.

In a way, battleships still rule the seas-but not the port? the harbor entrances, the inlets, tie bays or the mouths of rivers For if that were true the British fleet ere this could lave reached Kiel canal. They ilaven't-the submarines won't let them.
 What's the application to the UD'tc,i States?
 Simply this: That under the re- strictions of international law without going whit beyond the re quirements of national usage-the submarines are masterly weapons of coast defense. Such being the case, the United States should in reality be safer from attack than ever before, provided we have an adequate supply of submarines.
 For no battleships yet have sue cessfully ventured into an inlet, the mouth of a river, or harbor when submarines were about. It is too dangerous.
 The submarine has stiffened up the defense possibilities of all nations. But that hasn't anyth' 'ng to do with the manner in which Germany uses this new machine.

NERVOUS SHORTS PUT
CORN BEARS TO ROUT
Even Directors Ban on No
vember and December Fails
to Stop Advance.

CHICAGO, oct. 24-Nervousness
on the part of shorts more than effset
for at least today any bearish results
from ban which, to cooperate with
the government, the board of trade
directors last night placed on all new
buying of November ana December
deliveries of corn.
The market closed unsettled. l u TO
" net higher, with December l16A
to 116s and May III n to III ~. Oats
advanced Il to * and provisions
wound up unchanged to 55 cents
higher.
Notwithstanding the purpose of the
board of trade directors to prevent a
scarcity of corn In elevators here from
bringing a jump in values, the first
effect was to increase anxiety on the
part of shorts, who heard they would
be unable to obtain corn to FIJI con-
tracts. Rains and snow were report
ed as delaying the crop from drying
| out Advices were also at hand that
husking had been impeded materially
by scarcity of farm labor. Under such
circumstances the market closed al
the topmost point.
Oats sympathized with the advance
of corn.
Strength in hogs and corn lifted
provisions.
