"bird day." The aim is to have
the school children informed as

A bill introduced permits horse
racing in st. Louis and Kansas
City, allowing betting as is done
in New Orleans. Gov. Folk
stopped horse racing in Missouri
and at every session since, bills
have been introduced permitting
racing, but they have invariably
been killed.
House bill No. lbs, introduced
by Representative Lee, reduces
the salary of the judges of the
Supreme Court, st. Louis, Kan
sas City and Springfield Court
of Appeals. The bill was easily
ordered engrossed and should
pass. At this time the Judges
of the Supreme Court each re-
ceive a salary of $500 per
year. The bill reduces their
salary to $4, 500, the amount re-
ceived prior to the increase OF
$1,000, allowed by the legisla-
ture two years ago. At that ses,
sion the supreme judges and &
host of friends lobbied incess
antly for the increase, and JUS
why it was granted is hard,t to ex
plain. The increase of any off
Gals salary is in direct violation
of our state constitution, whicl

For County SuperlntendenCy.

Although official returns showing action of various counties in the school elections May l9 on county superintendency have been hard to obtain. information procured by the State Department of Educa- tion indicates that 12 counties were added to the list adopting county superintendency, and we regret to report that Union county is not one of them.
 In six other counties it is be- lieved that county superintendency carried.
 The 12 counties which,according to information at the department voted in favor of superintendency, are: Boone, Lafayette, Craighead, Cross, Desha, Franklin, Izard. Per ry, Phillips, Searcy. St. Francis and Woodruff. The six counties in which the result of the election has not been ascertained are: Clay, Conway, Greene, Logan, Nevada and Yell.

the government and the people in the speeding up of work, conserva- tion of food, and other national movements;
 Drafted by lot 68z,ooo men for military service;
 While the government was ac- complaining these things the Amer ican people have loaned the United Stated $2,OoO,ooO,ooo and offered $l ,ooo,ooo,o0o more, over four million citizens subscribing to the loan.
 In addition they have given over $1Oo,ooO,OOO to the American Red Cross and $3O0,ooO,ooo to Young Mems Christian association.
 All these things were accom- plished while our soil was not in vaded or even threatened with in- yaslon and without any disturbance of business conditions. All was done with the calm determination and judgment of an earnest. pa triotic people performing a service for civilization and mankind and maintaining the rights. the dignity and the honor of the greatest na- tion in the world.
 The German leaders derided America s entry into the war as a bluff. This is our answer:
 The German government was nearly fifty years in perfecting it's military efficiency. In less than four months the American repub- lie has made such strides as to in- dicate that in less than two years time the boasted superiority of German efficiency will have been discredited. There is such a thing as American efficie 1ey, and time will prove that German efficiency can not withstand it. fighting as it is for liberty, justice and humanity

Still Recruiting Regular Army.

It is probable that the full war strength of 100000 for the regular army will be reached this week. But Capt. N. M. Cartmell, in charge of recruiting in Arkansas. has received no orders to discon- tinue, nor are any such orders ex- pected. On the contrary, recruit ing for the regular army is to be pushed as strong as ever, for there will be a constant need for more men to keep the various units up to their maximum strength. For some time, the average number of recruits throughout the country has been about 2OOO daily, aside from the great number enlistng in the navy, the national guard and the numerous other branches of the service. Capt. Cartmell has been averaging fifteen or twenty a day in the Little Rock district, which includes the whole state. During the last few weeks many of the recruits have been men of se- lective draft age, who realized that they had no exemption and who preferred to volunteer rather than be drafted. All men of draft age eligible to volunteer until ther are called by their local boards for ex- animation.

American Efficiency.

Germany efficiency has been held up as degree of excellence unobtainable by a democracy. The accomplishments of the United States since April 5 last refute the truth of the claim. In the short space of time since that date the United States has accomplished the following:
 Declared a state of war as exist ing between this country and Ger many;
 Seized ol German ships and be- gan repair work on them;
 Authorized unanimously a war fund of $z ,OOO,OoO,OOO;
 Appropriated $6oo,OOO,ooo for merchant shipping and as much for air fleets;
 Agreed to loan our allies $3,- OOO,OOO,OOO and advanced them large proportion of that sum,
 Passed a selective draft law and Tn single day registered nearly ten million men for military service;
 Enlisted 100000 volunteer sol diers in the regular army and in the National guard of the states;
 Sent a commission to Russia to aid in the democracy there and a body of railroad men to Russia and another to France to advise and assist in railroad transportation in those countries;
 Begun the construction of 52 camps for our soldiers;
 Sent to England a fleet of de- stroyers and to France a detach- ment of troops;
 Authorized and now enforcing embargo whereby our enimies will receive no more food or material from us;
 Passed food conservation law;
