discretion of the German sentinels and

These restrictions are the German

carried out in two stages. First

honored 15.cent shave is threatened
by the war. 1t is announced that Lit.
tie Rock BARRIERS on September l will
add cents TO every charge they are
now making-shaves will be 20 cents
with 5 cents added for shaving the
neck, haircuts will be 40 cents, and
shampoos So cents for the ordinary
kind and more in proportion for the
fancy variety. Whether the barber
shop 1O-cent "shine" is to be advanced
is not announced, but it is probable
that it will. The BARRIERS explain that
they must make the advance in price,
as the cost OF all material used by
them has greatly advanced. RazoTs
that cost $3.50 before the war, now
cost $3.50, and shaving soap has ad-
vanced from 10 cents to so cents, and
everything else in proportion The
increase will probably add largely to
the business of the safety-razor manu-
facturers.

Leadership Important
Factor in Every Great
Enterprise or Movement.

All great movements, whether for
good or for evil, originate in the mind
of some leader, and so important is
this man that these movements are
often known for thousands of years by
his name. Christianity, Mohammedan-
ism and the other great religions OF
the world bear testimony to this fact.
All great inventions and enterprises
not only have their origin in the mind
of some leader, but they must be car
ried out under competent leadership.
There is no factor that comes to the
front at so many points as leadership;
for it is not only the man who con-
ceives the idea Of an enterprise that
must be a leader, but so must be all
of those under him who have to direct
the activities of other men. The man.
ager, the superintendent and the fore
man must all be leaders if they would
get the best results. If we would stand
at the head of industry we must devel-
op such methods or training our lead
ers as will enable them to command
the confidence and support of the men
with whom they have to deal. This
subject has been given but little atten-
tiOn in the past, and in consequence
our leaders have been largely selected
at random, with the result that there
are in this country no generally ac-
cepted principles Of industrialism
along the lines of which advancement
can best be made. Not until we have
determined the principles on which in
dustrial development must be based
and accepted the lines along which
our leaders must be trained can we ex-
pect any harmonious Development

Fate plays some hard pranks with
young men these days when the best
and bravest are being called upon to
fight in foreign lands under the Stars
and Stripes. A certain young man Of
Eastern Arkansas entered the first
officers training camp in Little Rock
with high hopes His father promised
that he would give him $4,000 if he
got a captains commission, $4,000 if
he got a first lieutenants commission,
and $4,000 for a second He worked
hard and honestly, but at the last was
discharged for failure to come up to
some slight physical requirement
Then came the draft, and his number
was the twentieth drawn. Now he is
wondering if the examination for sol
diers in the ranks is as strict as it is
for the officers.

New Idea in FirepIaceS.

A California firm has designed a
unique fireplace in a new bungalow
which permits the entire family to
gather around it, since it is placed in
the center of the room, The fireplace
consists of a vault about five feet
square, in the center of which a fire
basin is placed. The basin is encir-
cled by a spark crate. A metal hood
comes down from the ceiling to within
four feet of the fire basin, and con-
ducts the smoke to the chimney with
which it is connected. The fireplace
draws we'll and sends out larger
amount of heat than those built in
the usual wav against the side wall

One month ago there were no build
ings at all at Camp Pike Now build
ings are being erected at the rate OF
fifteen day, and there are now 300
completed. and many of them occu.
pied. Camp Pike was combination
of field and forest a month ago, now
it is a thriving city. There are to be
100 buildings, including the stables,
and they will cover 1900 acres. There
are 5000 acres in the camp, and the
government has a wartime lease on
10000 acres adjoining. The buildings
will accommodate 3S,593 men, and the
whole camp will cost in the neighbor,
hood OF 5S,OO0,OOO There are now
about $500 carpenters and other la
bOrers employed on the grounds, with
about 1900 others, besides the soldiers,
making very considerable city The
transportation problem is the biggest
one now confronting the camp. The
roads are not what they should be,
but they are to be rebuilt, improved,
and extended at once. and at leasr
two highways with asphalt surface
will connect the camp with the city.
Jitneys are doing a big business IN
carrying passengers to and from the
camp. The Iron Mountain has built
a switch into the grounds and runs a
shuttle-train, round trip morning and
evening, from the Rock street station
in Little Rock to the camp. Twelve
coaches are in the train, and even they
are crowded 1t is by far the liveliest
corner of Arkansas at this time.
"Sooners" are already appearing in
politics in Arkansas. The word Origl-
mated in Oklahoma at the time OF the
opening 25 years ago, when impetuous
hOme-seekers rushed over the line
ahead of time in an effort to get the
pick of all the homesteads which the
government was preparing to throw
open to settlers. Just so with the polit-
ical Sooner" They are already an
nouncing for congress and for other
offices all over the state, although the
primary election is nearly nine months
away, and the election more than IF
teen months. There is an cftc-t on
the part of some of the disg7u1t!cd
element to bring out opposition 70
Governor Brough for a second tern,
and while some ill-advised Democrat
may be induced, or may not be pre-
vented from, get into the race, Gov
ernor Brough and his friends do not
anticipate any serious opposition. His
administration has been constructive
and progressive, and he has we'll
earned that which is accorded to all
Democratic office holders who make
good, a second term.

"Swagger-sticks" is one of the new
fads that have been introduced in
Little Rock, following the appearance
of the soldiers. Only commissioned
officers are permitted to carry them.
The fad is said to have originated in
India, where the officers, when un-
armed, were permitted to carry the
sticks to keep their hands occupied.
Just what use they may be here does

The street carnival, which had such
a vogue for several years, is rapidly
going into the discard. There are still
some good companies in various parts
of the country, but they are greatly
out-numbered by organizations that
could hardly pass police inspection.
Many of the carnival companies have
degenerated into catch-penny gratis
that have exploited the cheap CRATER
and fakir. A few worthy attractions
are introduced to conceal the purpose
of the aggregation, which is to relieve
the credulous of their coin with the
least possible exertion. Many of them
have following of gamblers and red
light stars and nimble-fingered gentry
that have given the police much trou-
BILE wherever they go. In numerous in
stances they have become so rank
that it has been necessary to close
them up, an dtheosr that are really
worthy must suffer in consequence
As a result, many cities are adopting
the policy of forbidding the appear
ance of street carnival companies al
together.

meeting would be worth an untold
amount in desirable advertising for
the state at large The convention
will probably be here for one week,
half in Little Rock and half in Hot

named to have charge Of all the ar
rangements. An effort will be made
to make the entertainment different
from that to which the convention has
been accustomed There will excur'
sons to the rice fields, the big peach
