more northern cattle regions. Att tractive prices have caused over- marketing of all kinds of live stock A statistician connected with the
 Stock Yards in Chicago says:
 "If the war should cease today and all efforts should be made to increase the cattle production of the country,
 it would take from six to ten years in
 the best of conditions to build up a
 normal supply"
 These are cold, plain statements of fact. They mean that if we are to avoid famine and do our duty toward out nation and those allied with us in this great war, we must learn per sonal economy. We must learn to eat less meat and less food of all kinds and to deny ourselves not only inc luxuries of life that have beep ours during our years of snug pros perity, but we must eliminate many of the actual comforts of daily life. We must learn to adjust ourselves to new conditions. Mrs. Thos. R. Marshall, wife of the Vice President of the United States, discussing the duties of the
 women of America along this line, says:
 "If the average woman will give personal attention to her household,
 she could save a lot of money. I don't necessarily mean scrub her OWE floors, but go in her own kitchen and keep her eve on things out there"
 Every man, woman and child can
 help a little in eliminating waste.
 Let, us remember that the military situation is no more important than |thes problem Of food supply and do
 nestle economy. Every penny's worth of waste today adds that much
 weight to the serionsness of our na-
 tion's condition: Let each of us da V >>>c "

LABOR AFTER THE WAR.

It is q l'ttle early ill the opinion of most people to worry regarding labor conditions after the war. New ertheless, if foresight in this regar1 will enable us the better to grapple with unfavorable conditions, then foresight is eminently justified.
 In some quarters the fear is ex- pressed that hundreds of thousands of emigrants will return to their na- tive countries immediately the ces- sation of host;lities enables them to cross the seas. In support of this contention it is pointed out that steamship companies have already booked passage for, not thousands but hundreds of thousands of such people. The fear is expressed that peace will as result bring seri- ous labor shortage.
 This argument disl egards, how ever, the normal pre-war conditions. In 1913, for instance, statistics show that 611,924 workers returned from tho United States to their own coun- tries. Normally, Hundreds of thou sands of workers have gone back every year. Under the abnormal con- d;tions of 1916, only 2t0,S07 workers re-crossed the seas. Naturally there will be many waiting to return when peace arrives, who would have re- turned in these thre, years of War had they been able to do so.
 Doubtless they will return to their own countries when .he opportunity comes, but it is a question if what they find there will render them anxious to stay. Before the war. the United States drew an immense tide of immigration annually from the old lands. After the war. conditions il, Europe will hardly be improved. h. deed, the belligerents, staggering under huge war obligations. may be compelled to resort to drastic prohi- bitions in order to keep their people at home.
 After the war, America will still be what it has been for century and more, the country of opportunity .and-unless the European govern ments or our own intervene to stor 1.-the westward tide If immigration is pretty sure to continue.

DEATH TO THE PRESS GAG.

Killing of the press gag section of the spy bill in the senate is fully in conformity with popular demand.
 It was not merely the newspapers that objected to this curtailment of liberty, but the people themselves, who wish to see their p, ess free from obnoxious restrictions.
 The press can be relied upon to be loyal to the government; but hav- ing it's right of criticism curtaile ] was too much.

kansas national guard, the captaincy of which has been given to James P. Clarke. son of the lamented Senator James P. Clarke.
 While approximately 100 Pine Bluff boys have enlisted for war service, they have joined different branches of the fighting forces and their identity as citizens of Pine Bluff los". The company now being recruited will be known as the Pine Bluff company, and thus the city obtain the credit it is due for the loyalty, cour- age and patriotism of it's men.
 Another advantage to the recruit in cnlisting in this company is that he will spend tho period of training here, and will not be compelled to re. linquish his employment until sum- moned for service. And when ne goes to the front, he will go with friends and cquaintances-not with strang- CTS. This is a phase of the situation that ought not to be overlooked.
 There are a number of young men here, who, because they can be spared without interference with in- Gustries, are almost certain to be drafted for war service under the SC lective conscription law. These will find it better to enlist in the guard company, than to wait and be incor- porated in other companies.

SYMBOL UNTOUCHED BY WAR
Lion of St. Mark Has Escaped De-
struction, Though Hand of Time
Has Been Heavy on II.

The lion Of st. Mark still stands.
CuriousIy enough, while utmost pre-
cautions have been taken to preserve
the edifices and monuments of Venice
against the ruthless hand Of the avi-
ator, this symbol of the republic, one
Of the chief artistic and historical glo-
ries Of the city, still poses on its col.
ann in the Piazzetta with never
sandbag, masonry shield, or wooden
covering to guard 1t from harm.
The lion Of st. Mark long has been
an interesting relic, source of some
speculation and an endless amount Of
historical legend more or less authen-
tic. There is a tradition that when
Napoleon carried it to Paris there
were diamonds in its eyes. They were
really white agates, faceted.
It is conjectured that the lion may
have formed a part of the decoration
Of some Assyrian palace centuries be-
| fore it became the symbol of the Nene-
tian patron saint, st. Mark. The head,
except for the erowh, the name, aud
the larger part OF the oOuy ana legs
except the claws, are much older than
other portions Of the figure. The wings
and paws are of q much later date.
while the rump part and the tail are
restorations executed after the lion
had been sent back from Paris early
In the last century.
The lion Is in q condition that care
is required even under ordinary condi.

There are rents and assures through
out the body, and the portions are held
together by iron rivets that have rust
ed away. Many Initials mark the metal,
presumably engraved by artists en-
ployed in various restorations.
The Lion Of St Mark could be de-
stroyed with little effort. It has sur
yived the chances Of war to the pres
