FRACTIONAL LINES
 DISAPPEAR FROM
 THE LEGI GISLA1URt
Measures Are Being Weigh ed According to Merits
 as Each Sees Them.

Little Rock. Jan. 3O.-Votes taken in the senate Monday afternoon maoe it still more apparent that there Is no real administration forces in the senate, for members who before the organization of the body mad pro claimed themselves to be adminlstfa- ton men, voted continuously against administration measures, and II De" came plain that they we're admins trationists-if the administration wanted the same thing they did.
 This was manifested on the vote taken on the constitutional d)nven- ton. This bill, brought up by Senl- tor Smith. was considered i'll a com mittee of the whole for the purpose of adopting the section which carries an appropriation. This was done without protest, other than Senator ! Greenhouse asked tha. it be placed back on second reading in order that someone might explain to him why the state needed new constitution. It was made plain that the bill could not be amended in dommittee of the whole, other than to make a change in the appropriation. No ef- ] fort to do this was made and the bill was reported back to the senate with a favorable recommendation.
 l Senator Caldwell then precipitated ] the fight with a motion to put the ] bill back on second reading for amendment, he desiring to make q change so that the product of the 1 rI u0fnH in, q regular election. "when the country people dould vote on it too." Sena tor Bush also wanted it to go bacl for amendment He was opposed te the bill in any form. but if it was tc be forced on tho people, it "shoult be forced on them in as unoojection able form as possible"
 He then ojected to the $4 per dien section, but Senator Smith informed the senate this was one of the bes features of the bill for it cut off the man who would seek to be a member of the convention for the per diem and would place in the conventio, big men, men who would serve fol patriotic reasons, and without pay i nedassary. He said the $4 per da, would he about expenses for them.
 The bill was finally Tree of amend ments, but when an effort was mad to advance it to it's third readings, tn, senate adjourned on roll call, t to IF. leaving it in position to pass another day.
 The senate. with little argument passed the Kirby and Castle Diges bill, 31 to 4. Senators Ruff and Car ruth made speeches against the meas; ure, and Senators Burgess and Cald we'll in favor of it, but the debat was brief, and lacked the acrimoni ous spirit of the former arguments on this subject In order to preven further discussion, the bill was i'm mediatcly sent to the house.

UNCLE SAM FINDS
 HE MUST RAISE
 PRINTING PRICES
Notifies POstmasters of New Schedule of Charges for
 Envelopes.

Even Uncle Sam is feeling the pinch caused by the increase in the cost of paper stock used in the manufacture of all printed matter and stationery. and unlike most printers. he has de- termined to make the public carry tn 2 load. by ind"easing the cost of his output
 Postmasters everywhere have been instructed by the postoffice depart ment at Washington, of an increase in the price of stamped envelopes and all other stamped papers by the gov ernment Three sizes of 2-cents stamped envelopes are most comon ly used, these being No. ,, Mo- s and No. 13 and the old and new prices on these are as follows. per 1000: No. 5. was $21, is now $21.6o: No. was $22, is now $22.56 and No. 13, was $21.36. is now s21.74.
 Uncle Sam's big printing office at Washington, which has already been run at a financial loss, has few friends among the owners of print ing offides in the United states. be- cause of the competition he offers in printing envelopes, which he supplies to the public at a price the private printing offices can no meet, because they have no United States treasury behind them and when these print shop owners generally learn that Uncle Sam is being forced to raise his prices there will be an almost audible d'uckle of eiee over tho length and breadth of the land.

Impressive Program to Be Held by Children of Al
 theimer's School.

The Pine Bluff High school bank. with branches in each of the ward schools, is one way in which the sdhool authorities of the city are en- deavoring to inculcate habits of thrift in the children of today. This bank will be opened shortly. and at inter- vales there will be measures taken 70 emphasize the necessity for the prac- tice of thrift The idea behind the thrift movement is not to make peo- pie miserly. but to gain the cooper ation of al, in continuous war on waste.
 This lesson is being impressed up. on children of the Altheimer public school where 60 pupils have $225 to their credit on the school savings bank. established last october. Writ ing of plans for the observance of Thrift Day, which odcurs Saturday. February 3. Miss Mary Cuolahan, principal of the Altheimer school says:
 q am planning to take our open ing exercises period next Friday for little program on The Ways of Thrift Each pupil will be given a thrift maxim to learn and reqte. Many will be given little talks on suitable. subjects. such as: Cause of Typical Thrift Thrift and Inven- tion.' Thrift in the City,, Thrift Never Despises Small Beginnings, Thrift in the Country From Car Conductor to Capitalist, Thrift in Schools
 "I have a number of stories on the above topics, and those on the pro- gram will tell them in their own words"

This matter of becoming thrifty is Just like getting up in the morning -especially cold, winter mornings.
 How comfortable and warm the bed is; and the thought of getting cut on that cold floor sends a chill Up the spine! Int it so naturally human to just lie there until the very last moment all the while conscious that time is swiftly passing. Those few moments prove mighty costly ones and not worth the price, for there i,, always a mighty rush and bustle to make up for them.
 However. and finally reason and willpower go to work and instantly we bounce out and get very busy And after that dash of cold water and blink at the sun--who wants to go back to bed!
 Getting straight out of bed without turning over for another nap, cannot possible do any harm, physically or otherwise; and psychologists say that it is decidedly better.
 Becoming thrifty-cutting down ver-indulgence-is just like that. In all phases of life, there arc very many things palatable and pleasing to the indulgent side of our natures, which, in reality. are not only unnecessary to life, but are actually detrimental.
 We realize all this, admit it. and make up our minds to do better. But, when the actual moment arrives for putting resolutions into practical shape. it is so easy to be indulgent and "iust turn over and take another nap'
 There is distinct difference be- tween accepting a certain truth ana acting upon it. II is doubtful if the wise Creator will give any credit for 1 simple recognition of right where the performance of tho act itself was left undone Of course. some tune or another. we aim to take care of these things, but in not doing them Wc are simply procrastnatinG
 TO act at ncc-NOW-does require ! an exercise of willpowor, determl- nation of mind And thrift is the re- | sult of proloNged and sustained cXer- | ton of the mind.
 1 Being thrifty includes hcing pron,pt. l Ii also means being certain, sure 1 d.finitc-achieving something, doing 1 it!
 | ] ne IliSl ltsll htip ny "S'a VI P'i incentive that has been offered for doing something real something actually to the point in saving, is the 1 inauguration of Thrift Day. February 3rd. While the idea is to intensity effort on this particular day, the ef- feet is bound Ito follow and exert direct and lasting influence for every day in the year.
 This holiday is not one of abandon ment to recreation and pleasure, as many others are, but is one of ln- tcnsive preparation and literal prac- tice. It does not interfere with busl- ness or home life; does not alter the natural plan or system of living or occupation. It might. and indeed does, alter some ot the wasteful methods and too indulgent habits.
 Thrift Day acts as a sure reminder and offers opportunity for all to com bine once year in great national movement toward a higher self-bet- i torment, more careful savins and | greater economies
