HOME-MAklINO is as good as
course in business these days.
i i The housewife has to make
every penny Of her allowance count.
She hasn't much patience with last
century business methods, which keep her
from getting the greatest possible value
for her money, business methods which
increase the cost of bag of -four by six
or eight per cent. for instance.
According to the United States Blu
reau of Census, that is just what in
efficient delivery methods alone are doing.
It costs some storekeepers eight or ten
per cent. to send your goods home,
while others are doing it for only two
or three per cent.
You pay in either case.
Who gets your trade-the back

is the foundation upon which this gov ernment is to be erected, and as all statutory law must conform to its requirements, it is the duty of every citizen to take 2n interest in this very important subject.
 In June, the counties will be re- quired to select delegates to the Con- stituticnal Convention which will meet in Little Rock in No vemben, While every citizen ought to take an interest in every election even to the lowest office, we believe the electiein to be held in June for the selection of delegates ought to concern our most intelligent and patriotic thoughts. This election will be far more important to the citizens of the state than any presidential or state election could be- We are laying a foundation which is expected to last thirty or forty years.
 As patriotic citizens, our duty is to select the best men for this all-import- ant work-men whc are broad-minded and conservative and who have given much thought to the science of gov ernment and who will be controlled by no influence but that of the well fare of the state. Will the voters of Arkansas act patriotically and intel ligently in this matter? Will Little River County select the best material she has. The example set by Pulaski County is one which should recom- mend itself to every county in the state. Let the office seek the man. Men of one idea should be cut out Let the various communities of the ccun- ty meet iH mass, or by delegates and agree on a man. This matter is so important. that indifference towalG i. is a crime-Citizen.

Editor Little iRiver News. Dear Sir:

Editor Little tRiver News.
 Dear Sir:
 In your issue of Feb. 17th, you called attention to the resolution pas
 sat by the present General Assembly
 calling for a Constitutional Conven- ton to be held in next November Your remarks on the importance ot this subject were we'll said, and the
 patriotic, intelligent citizens of the
 state should give deep thought to this the foundation cf our state govern ment.
 What the United States govern
 ment is today, is due to the patriotism
 and wisdom of the great men who framed it's constitution. While the science of government is a subject to which the best brains of man have been given, for the past three thous- and years or more, yet the great
 changes in mans condition because of the great progress he is making,
 necessitates such a change in govern
 ment as will meet these changes, and hence a government though good for
 the time, must be progressive, and at leng intervals materially changes it's organic law.
 The constitution of 1874, which was framed by some of the most patriotic
 and brGiny men that ever officiated in the state. was framed to meet the ccn- dition in which the state was left after
 the overthrow of the "Carpet-Bag 2
 Rule" It was good and sufficient for
 the time and for many years after it's
 adoption, but the rapid progress. made
 by the state in the last twelve or
 fifteen years in all it's industries, has demanded new laws to meet the needs of these changed conditions. Many of these needed laws could not be
 passed by the Legislature. because of
 conflict with the Constitution.
 Though our present condition can
 be amended, it provides that only
 three amendments can be submitted at each general election. This limit prevents the people from enactine i some very much needed laws, and it
 was this condition which influenced the Legislature to p2ss this very wise resolution.
 The welfare of every home, every community, every town, every county
 every school, every church and every
 industry in the state depends on good government, and as the constitution

Special to the News:
 Little Rock, Feb. 21--No matter what legal steps are taken, there will be Constitutional Convention in Lit tle Rock, to open Nov. 19. That much is assured, notwithstanding the point Of order raised on the passage of the bill in the House by Representative Johnson of Sebastian county. He maintained that the bill, which car ries an appropriation of $25,000 for the expenses of the convention, re- quired 67 votes, or two-thirds, of all elected to the house, to be legally carried. The bill was declared pas sed by Speaker Cazort on vote of 54 to 40, he holding that only, ma jority was necessary, it being con- sidered by him a necessary expense of the government.
 Governor c. H. Brough and many legal authorities sustain the ruling of Speaker Cazort and all expect the Supreme court to sustain the ruling if a test case is carried to the Supreme Court These authorities dc not class the appropriation for the PanamaPa- cif1c Exposition building as the same, hence the Supreme Court ruling in that case is not germane to the ques- 1tion. The State Capitol case of State vs. Sloan, is directly in line, and the decision will probably govern if the case is carried higher.
 It now appears as though there will be no contest, but should there be, and the Supreme Court rules against the bill, it can destroy only one section the appropriation. The legality of cile portion of the bill providing for the Convention cannot be questioned. The Convention can then assemble, and Governor Brough can declare an emergency Appropriation to defray the expenses. depending upon the legisla- ture of 1919 to care for the deficiency. There has already been bill in- trodueed into the House to govern the contest for seats in the convention. This bill will prevent anyone spend ing money on a candidate, or any interest exerting influence for candi- dates.

Old Looks?
(BY DIR. L. Il. sMITH)

Persons suffering from too much uric
acid in the system frequently look older
than they should. They age faster and
the appearance of gray hair or baldhead
in early years is, indeed, often a sign of
uric acid. The face appears lean and
haggard, lines and wrinkles appearing in
young men or women.
The best way to combat this prema-
ture age and the obstruction to the
arteries and faulty circulation is of the
simplest: Drink copiously OF pure water
between meals. This will not make you
fat, as it is only the water taken with
the meals that fattens. Obtain at any
drug store a small package of Anuric,
which is to be taken before meals, in
order to expel the uric acid from the
system. The painful effects of backache,
lumbago, rheumatism, govt, due to uric
acid in the blood should quickly disappear
after treatment with Anuric.
