FORMER LIQUOR DEALER
 NOW WITH THE "DRYS"

Little Rock, Oct. 27.-With his commitment papers in one pocket, and a Liberty Bond in another, C. P. Con- dit appeared at the state penitentiary one day this week and surrendered himself to the prison authorities to enter upon a term of one year on a charge of violating the liquor laws of the state. In addition to this evidence of his change of heart and his patriot ism he announced that he was through with any future connection in any way with the liquor business, that he would never touch another drop, and that if any of his friends wanted it they must get it themselves. Also, he has two sons who are ready to be called in the next increment from Sebastian county for the national army.
 Condit was formerly member of the Fort Smith police force, and was in sympathy with the "wets." It was charged that he procured a quantity of liquor for friend, but that he was not interested in it as an illicit sales man. Upon the testimony he was con victed and sentenced to a year in prison. The case was appealed to the supreme court, and affirmed, the court holding that it is as much a violation of the law to "procure" as it is to sell liquor. It is probable that his case will be brought to the attention of the governor.

AMERICANS WITH CANADIAN
 ARMY NOT TO BE CHANGED

American Field Headquarters in France, Oct. 9 (By MaiD-Just lit- tie matter of precedent seems to be all that is keeping scores of patriotic young Americans of tried bravery. from offering their lives to their country. They are fighting here in France, the survivors of five battal- ions of Americans who joined the Canadian army to gain time in killing Germans. Those who are living are still taking their turn in the trenches have seen hundreds of their friends blown up by shells, choked by gas or mown down by machine guns. AL though the new American army could use these Americans, particularly the specialized officers, the transfer ap- pears to be blocked by the technical fact that they alienated themselves when they joined the Canadians. To join the American army they must be- come Americans and to become  Americans they must journey home and obtain their papers. Very few can afford to do that. Besides, the Canadian authorities are disposed to release from fighting only those for whom the American army make appli- cation. This is the forlorn admission

Tho Legion Of Honor.

The famous French order known as
the Legion of Honor was instituted by
Napoleon B~onaparte, when he was first
consul, ia years ago. Although this
order confers honors upon distln-
guished civil servants Of the state and
eminent benefactors Of humanity, 1t
is provided that three-ifths Of all the
medals awarded must go to the officers
and men Of the army and navy. Since
the outbreak Of the war thousands Of
medals Of the Legion have been award
ed to soldiers and sailors and public
servants. There are now five classes,
the Grand Cross being the highest. Its
recipients are numbered by hundreds,
whereas there are thousands of medals
of the lower classes being worn. The
badge Of the Legion Of Honor is a FIVE
rayed white enameled star, bearing on
the diverse side a female head and
the words "Republique Franchise"
and on the reverse side two crossed
flags and the words "Honneur ct Pa
trie." Many British and American cit
liens have received the cross Of the
Legion of Honor, and since the war II
has also been conferred upon the mill
itary leaders Of all Of the allies of
France.

LEARN TO CONCENTRATE MIND
The Ability Means an Immense Saving
of Time in the Accomplish
ment Of Tasks.

A quality of great value Is the abili-
ty to concentrate the mind on what
one is doing. If a problem is TO be
solved, an intricate business PROPOSE
ton to be made clear, a piece of
mechanism to he understood or any
task to be accomplished, time and en-
ergy are saved, and the task is better
done by concentration. If a mar al
lows his mind to be distracted by ex-
ternal things, important points and
helpful ideas are likely to be over
looked, with unsatisfactory results.
Beecher said: San intense hour will.
do more than dreamy years." Charles
w. Eliot says: ut is a good rule to
endeavor hour by hour, and week
after week to learn to work hard. 1t
is not well to take four minutes to
do what you a accomplish in three.
It is well to learn to work intensely"
The old adage, "Work when you work
and play when you play" is founded on
sound sense, and if understood and
acted on will prove a great advantage.
Whatever is before you to do, set your
self ~intently at it. The habit Of con
c%entratiOn may be cultivated even by
the most volatile. A constant endeavor
to acquire the habit will bring about
surprising results and such as will be
found of value. Trying to carry on
too many kinds of business at the
same time has proved many a mans
ruin. "With too many irons in the fire
some will burn, and it is more than
likely that it will prove to be those
that least well can be spared."-Mil-
waukee Journal.
