The State Council of Defense,
which asked the co operation of
public generally in the reduction
of deliveries on goods, thinks
that there has not been a proper
reciprocity on the part of the
merchants The deliveries were
reduced to two daily. to conserve
man power, but there has been
no corresponding reduction in
prices paid by the consumer. No
official action has been taken on
the subject. but there have been
strong expressions by several of
the members against what ap-
pears to be a one sided PROPOSE
ton. l. is being resented by
many customers.

The State Council of Defense
has under consideration the ques
ton of the cost of milk produc,
ton and distribution, and the re
tail cost to the consumer. Def
mite statistics are being gathered
by experts, SO that it may be de-
termined accurately just what
milk costs. From information in
the hands of the Committee it ap
pears that the proposed rate of
20 cents a quart is out of all pro-
portion with the prices charged
IN other cities. The general aver.
age is Z cents, and experts de-
clare that a reasonable profit IS
made al that price The probe is
to be continued. and if possible
the excessive protiteering in the
necessities of life is to be cur
tailed.

Adjt. General Lloyd England,
Chairman of the State Council of
Defense, is endeavoring to enlist
the chairmen of the County
Councils in the enlistment of men
for the aero squads. Advice from
Washington is that the manufac
ture of aeroplanes is being great
ly increased. and this will call
for a largely increased enlistment
of men for this branch of the ser
vice. 1t is desired to obtain as
rapidly as possible $4,000 to 30
600 men for the Aviation section
of the Signal Corps. A compare
lively small proportion of the
men are to be used as fiiers,

through II. L. Remmel chair
man of the Committee on Publici
ty, has invited all the Circuit
Judges, Prosecuting Attorneys,
and Ghancellors to deliver patri
otto addresses at the opening of
their courts.
These are trying days in the
history OF our country, says
Mr.. Kennel, and I am advised
that in many of the interior sec
tons of the State the people
hardly realize that the United
States have cast their lot with
the Allies and are engaged in one
of the most terrible wars in his
tory"
Mr. Remmel says that the
Four-Minute-Men have done eff
fect'v. service in reaching the
people of the city on questions
affecting the interests of the
government. but they have not
reached the country people. 1t is
believed the plan of having
speeches made at the opening of
courts will do much toward solv
ing this problem.

Little Rock, Nov. 12-Hamp
Williams, Federal Food Admin
istrator, is in Washington to con.
fer with Herbert Hoover on the
future of the war in Arkansas.
When he returns this week, it is
expected that he will have some
important announcements to
make of further activities in the
conservation of food. The Pledge
Card campaign was great sue
cess, and the cards are still being
received in great nun bers from
sll sections of the state At this
time, however, it is impossible
to estimate the total number. It
has been an educational cam
palgn that has accomplished a
worlo of good in arousing the
people to a realization of their
duties toward the government in
this hour of the world crisis.
Mr.. Williams is thoroughly in
sympathy with the purposes of
the Food Administration. and
should the time come when it
will be necessary to resort to
rigorous measures, he will be
found to be Mr.. Hoover's most
loyal supporter.

Growing laxity in mental and moral

There appears to be an increasing
disposition among parents to place

The responsibility Of the home II

"It should be made the imperative
legal as well as moral duty Of parents

JUDGES Love Profession,

part of the law. Lord Wensleydale
once apologized for his late arrival Mt

that he could not tear himself away
from a beautiful demurrer"
Mr.. Justice Patteson found so much
pleasure in his work on the bench that
he was afraid that he might continue

An Analogy.

To renew ones youth Is that only
a fantastic dream, deluslve mirage, or
is It promise? Sub-human nature
offers n hint of this human expert
cnce. The newborn butterfly which,
having dried its wings In the genial
sunlight, has just fitted away across
the garden, exhibits every mark and
sign of youth. Last spring, this same
creature was born caterpillar. Be
tween these two states of youth sue
cessive the one to the other there is
no break in continuity of individual
existence. From the laying of the egg
to the spinning of the cocoon, the In
sect passes through all the natural
stages of infancy, youth, maturity

rhubarb to make marmalade or pre-
