Convention Primary

The calling of a primary cleo tion for Franklin County was not given serious consideration by many members of the Coun- ty Central Committee, and, as d quorum was not present last Saturday, the committee was ad- journed without taking any ac- tion whatever.
 But since the election of two delegates from this, the 9th Congressional District, has come before us, it is readily seen that Franklin County, in order to give an opportunity to exercise their right to vote, should hold q primary to do justice to ali the candidates at large.
 If no primary IS held, Frank lin County will have no say as to whom they will support in the primary.
 At present there are four candidates at large from the 5th Congressional District, three from Little Rock and one from Russellville. If no county but Pulaski holds a primary the two delegates will be elected from Little Rock, notwithstandin@ four other nominees will also De from Little Rock.
 Whether the people vote or not is matter left entirely with the individual, but as some will want to vote and have some voice in the selection of the de- legates at large. they should be given a chance by the central committees calling a primary for that purpose. No elector can blame any one but himself If he fails to vote, but when an eiec- tor wants to vote and no primary is called he feels that some one else Is to blame besides himseu,
 Not only are there two dele gates at large to be elected but Franklin County Is entitled 10 two delegates also. and these will be nominated If a primary Is held.
 Care should be taken in the selection of delegates from each county as well as deIeIegates at large. Men of all walks of life should be elected in order to get a well balanced constitution. A constitution drawn by men of all walks. callings or professions will be adopted, and will be d saving of thousands of dollars to the people of the state, but if just one class of men, too many of whom are from certain local ities or centers, it will not be adopted
 Let the County Central Con- mittee meet, call primary and let the people have a say in the selection of delegates at large, as well as county delegates.

14.ooo IONS OF BOMBS

The bad example of the Germans killing non cOmbatants by dropping bombs from airships upon private res- ldences and schoClhouses has not been followed by the airships of che allies; but news from France shows the air ships are doing most effective work on the French and Belgian lines of defence.
 The dropping of 2S,000 pounds of bombs on German military establish nlents and railroad stations in 24 hours, is beyond the comprehension of the human mind; and yet, this ex- ample of violence from the sky is nothing compared to what is likely to happen within a year to Germany
 With England and France capa ble of turning out 1900 flying machines a month: and America as many as both these nations. to say nothing of the output Of Russia or Italy, there is no doubt Germany is outclassed in the air, that the airship is destined to play more effective part if1 the clos Ing scenes of the war than the U- boats.

THE GOOD INFLUENCE OF BOOKS

The American Library association's S movement to raise million dollars to furnish libraries to the nations en- listed men is in the interest of a more dependable manhood.
 The men in the camps and in the trenches need means of diversion and a good selection of books will prove g stay and a blessing.

 Almost all of the boys here would rather read than play cards and our most exciting gambling when a book appears to Naw straws to see who'll be second and third and fourth on the waiting list. Any book will do Some like novels and. some like histories, and some like books Of travel. But in a pinch we'll find good reading in even an arithmetic or grammar"

COAL AND COAL PRICES.

The country breathes easier since the announcement that President Will son is on the job, and that something definite is soon to be known by the country as to the price of coal per ton
 In the matter of strengthening out the problem of coal supply the west is to be given first service-the sec ton of greatest population is to be made secure.
 Here in New England it has been difficult to set soft coal enough to keep fires under the boilers of our in dustrles; and the prices in some in stances have increased 200 per cent: and most of the bins which are filled with anthracite between May 1 and July l are still empty because prices were not settled, but have wavered from an advance of 15 per cent to 50 per cent. shrinking and swelling in a most annoying manner, because of a shortage which could not be over come.
 Let us hope a way will be found to stock up New England with bitun1i- nous and anthracite coal before win ter weather sets in. and that Presi- dent Wilson will be able to get fixed rate for the winter.

The Pope's Proposals and Irish lnde-
 pendence.

Mir. Editor: MT. Cummings having declined to discuss his favorite topic with me, this writer may be excused. perhaps, in pursuing the argument, on his own hook, and without his oppon- ent's valuable impetus. We want to call attention to an important fact, namely, that while we disagree with MT. Cummings, we are in accord with the Holy See.
 Tn our last task we spoke of Irish educational advantages, and now we will draw attention to Ireland's re- ligious superiority. Speaking of the Roman Catholic church. Ireland may well be put at the head for the pro- duction of good Catholics (and Protest ants--although this must be said in a whisper).
 The priesthood and Iaity--,for edu- cation culture and devotion to the manual stand head and shoulders over every other devotees of the papal flock. A census of it's prelates. in the United States alone. will show their numbers and dignity exceeds all oth- the early centuries of Christianity Ire land was named The Land of Saints because she sent her sons and saints apostles and successors of Patrick, to the pagans of Central Europe and taught from scriptures of their own transcribing, the doctrines of Christ and His passion.
 Even what is now Germany was blessed by the teaching of St. Killian, A. D. 6S9-afterward Bishop of Wur- temberk-of whom Moshiem says: "St. Killian exercised his ministerial functions with such success among the eastern Franks, that vast mum - bers of them embraced Chrictianity; and the venerable Bede. speaking of the religious conduct of these Hi bernian scholars said: They lived in no other way than they taught"
 It is a pity that we of today know so little of these origins of Christian ity Sd nearly related to us and the world. This might be enlarged up enough to establish our point-the peerage if not superiority of the Irish phase of Christianity, and the claims it rightfUlly has and inherits for the papai consideration. so now we are prepared to notice what his Holiness, Benedict. has to say in his peace pro rosals about the Restitution of Ter ritory."
 He starts by saving: "If for certain (for restitution) they could (should) be deliberated upon with justice and equity etc. etc" Consequently in the case of Germany the complete evacu- alton of Belgium with the guarantee of her full political, military and econ omic independence" He then goes very minutcly into the cases of Italy, Austria. France. Armenia and the Balkan states. Tho ancient kingdom of Poland, whose noble and historical traditions and sufferines which it has endured, require consideration.

SAVE THE FAT.

Do you throw away the body fat of pouItry-big layers of clean. sweet, vel low fat around the gizzard and found elsewhere around the intentines of the chicken? If you do, say specialists of the United States department of agri- culture. you are throwing away fat which French housewives consider the finest of fats for making cakes and especially puff paste.
 In certain seasons in New York and other big cities this fat IS so highly esteemed that it brings as much as S1.10 per pound
 So great is the demand for this fat hat many people make a business of collecting it from butchers and others who dress poultry before delivering it to customers.
 Housewives would do well to insist on having it delivered if they buy their poultry dressed. By using chicken fat in cooking they can cut down the amount of fat they must use for that purpose.
 To prepare it. try it out m a double boiler or other vessel set in hot water until the fat just melts away from the tissues and can be poured off.
 This fat becomes rancid easily and should be kept cool and covered like butter and used in a very few days.

A QUESTION OF BREAD.

Isn't American bread good enough for people across the seas? We are requested to eat bread one-third meal whether we fancy it or not to save wheat. Why should not our English cousins take bread of the same for n1ula and quality to lessen the demand upon us for wheat. If we must create a big surplus of wheat for the allies, why should not they do all they can to make that surplus go as far as pos- sfble?
 America will have three billion bushels of corn, and foreign countries call for only forty million bushels. In time of stress why should they not try new food as well as ourselves?
 It seems to be fit time now for our foreign friends to become more familiar with the nutritious quality of corn and having learned the value of corn for man or beast they might increase the demand for it abroad thus widening the market for Aneri- ca's greatest nutritious crop.

When darning table linen it is best to use 9 raveling from the goods Where there is a hole, put under it a piece of the same material carefully matching the pattern. If the alarming is carefully done the hole will not be noticea ble.
 Cut the sleeves out of mems shirts, hem the armholes, cut the neck out round or square, and turn the front to the back and the back to the front; the :uttonhoies are already made just by changing arouid. This makes fine big apron.
 When the tea towels become very thin from frequent launderings, fold in center crossways, stitch by machine all around edges. also diasonally from corner to corner both ways This holds the parts together and makes splendid dish cloths with more wear than by using straight Table napkins stitch ed in this way make soft wash cloths for the face or for children.

DIFFERENT WAYS OF MEETING
 AN EFFICIENCY.

The high price of all kinds of food stuff is perplexing all establishments who cater to the public.
 Wherever meals are supplied the question is whether it is best to in crease the price 25 to 30 per cent, or reduce the portion to each individual, and then if what is received at regu- lar rates does not satisfy the patron, let him increase his own bill by addi- tional orders.
 It is alleged that the increase of portions to satisfy the patron with the advance made is a mistake because of the ration was sufficient before, this increase ends in greater waste. against which all caterers are warned by the government to guard.
 The cutting down plan is being adopted by many leading service cor poratfons in this country, and then if the ration served to a customer is not enough he orders the requisite amount of food and pays the addi- tional price.
