Line Grows Rapidly

New arrivals came now in groups
and the lines grew rapidly until they
wound out of sight of the ticket
windows around corners into side
streets. Vendors with peanuts be-
gan to appear, otherJ with horns and
other noiSe-making instruments and
even toy balloons. The business of
the coffeemen, which had languished
when the newspapers came, revived
briskly, and many a small boy or
girl came running with hot lunch in
n pail for some one who had stood
the long. hard vigil.
BY o'clock fifteen hundred per-
sons were in the lines. There were
probably thirty women among them.
They were for the most part well
dressed and prosperous appearing.
Some of them explained that their
money had been sent back TO them
after the reserved seats had been
allotted and that they Just had to
see the games and had sacrificed
some hours of sleep to do so. There
were also n number of sailors.
At 7.30 tarpaulins were removed
from the base lines and the grounds
were pronounced reasonably fit for
the contest about to be put on. At
this hour, also. the score card sales
men brought new brightness into the
lives of those in line with their cries
of you can't tell the players without
a score card" Most of the dyed-in-
the-wool fans there could have told
the players in the dark but they
bought the cards anyway

Pity the Poor Rich Man.

Every person having a yearly in come of $l 900, 900 or more may have to pay AZ per cent of it to the government. Such an increase of the income tax is being consid- cred by the Ways and Means com mittee. There are said to be l24 persons in the United States whose incomes come under this class; and 45l who have more than $5OO,- GOO a year..
 The two largest incomes in the country are understood to be John D. Rockefeller's and Henry Ford's. The latter's is estimated at $35,- 100000, and the proposed super tax would take $16,45o.ooO of it for the government. This is in ad- diton to the income tax fixed by the present law, which is to remain in force.

Every voter should go to the polls Saturday, May l9 and vote for l2 mill school tax and for county superintendency.

A majority of counties in the state have county superintendents and are more than pleased with them Arkansas is the only state in the Union without state law creating the office in every county, but our law makes it optional with each county.

Midnight Spreads.

For years 1t has been dinned into our ears that we should not eat before go- ing to sleep, and we have forgone many pleasant bite for fear of saeri- ficing our good health. And now nlong comes noted physician and tells us that many morning headaches were merely the result of hunger. This does not mean that we can immediately proceed to gorge ourselves with all sorts of sweets and not have to pay the penalty the next morning. Sweets should be eschewed during the mid night repast, and one shouId substitute some wholesome sandwiches-cheese sandwiches are wholesome and nour ishing and can be eaten with impunity even during the wee small hours.

Appropriate to Eradicate TIcks.

A special session of the quorum court was held in Fl Dorado last Saturday for the purpose of making an appropriation for tick eradica- tion in Union county.
 After listening to speeches by two government men who guaran- teed to put Union county in the native district by the lst day of December, 1917, if the county would give them the proper sup port, an appropriation of $2,5OO was voted to pay the expenses of ten assistants to the two govern ment supervisors who will be paid by the state.
 There were twenty-eight jus tlces of the peace present at the meeting and twenty-seven voted for the appropriation as they real ize how much it means to this county in dollars and cents to be able to ship their cattle without a quarantine tag. All cattle will have to be dipped every fourteen days to accomplish this result.

Phone Men Enter Signal Corps.

Virtually every man in the Southwestern Bell Telephone Co.,, with headquarters in Arkansas, has volunteered for army service under the invitation issued to employees on April 4 for the formation of signal corps batilion.
 s. c. Poage, general manager, said that his office had been literal ly swamped with replies to the cir cular asking for volunteers to form a signal corps for the regular army under a special arrangement whereby employees will not lose their connection with the company through absence for army service.
 Even the men who are beyond military age have besought the heads of their department for the privilege of going. setting up the argument that their physical con- dition is good and that their knowl- edge of telephone and telegraph work makes them desirable.
 Under the arrangement with the government, we are to create a signal corps in employees in the va rious divisions of the system. However, we have had enough vol ' unteers in Arkansas for their entire battalion. They have come from every department of telephone work in the state. We were ex- pecting a hearty response to the circular issued, but what we re-

WORLDS BIGGEST ORDER.
Government Contracts for Over Two Billion Feet of Lumber for Ships and
 Army Barracks.

To meet it's war requirements for wooden ships, barracks and other purposes, the government has con- tracted for the purchase of oyer two billion feet ef seu hern pine While exact figures are not yet available, it is understood that the aggregate price which the United States vii pay to mills supplying this lumber will be letween $55,- 100000 and $4O,OOO,OOO
 The tremendous yolumn of lum- Der which this represents may be understood when it is stated that the total output of all the pine mills of Louisiana, the largest yellow pine producing state in the Union, in 1915 was but 2,9Oo,OOO,OOO feet.
 The lumber which the govern ment has bought is sufficient to build homes for all the people of a city of half a million inhabitants. If loaded in solid train of cars, it would make up a train extending from New Orleans almost to New York.
 The lumber will be delivered as needed, deliveries extending over a period of several months. Special equipment will be provided at many mills which are subscribers to the Southern Yellow Pine association, so that timbers may be turned out to exactly meet the requirements of the standard type of wooden vessel designed by experts of the shipping board.
 Mills which will participate in supplying the country's lumber re- quirements are located in most of the statAs of the Southland -inu cludes nearly all members of the Southern Pine association. the combined monthly output of whose plants averages about 45O,0OO,- 900 feet.

URGES CONSCRIPTION
AS ONLY FAIR Plan
Volunteer System Would Break Down,
Representative Kahn Declares.

Representative Julius Kahn. of Califor-

Milftary Affairs Committee. now consid-
ering the conscription measure as sub
Thitted by the War Department, In answer
TO a letter protesting against the draft
plan. declares there will be no "slackers"
under the conseription system. whereas
there viii be thousands under the volun-
teer plan. s-
1T Is the judgment of many members
Of Congress that the volunteer service Is
not q fair service Mr.. Kahn wrote. 1T
seems to me that II is only just and
democratic to have every American bear
his share Of the burden. The volunteer
system broke down in our own country in
the civil war and we had TO resort to con-
scription. 1t broke down in England in
this war and they have had to resort to
conscription.
In the present instance i feel that the
only efiicacious way of getting an army
is through the draft.

publican member Of the committee, who
has announced his purpose Of introduc-
ing an amendment asking for a try-out

tive with House Committee.

Representatives of peace organizations.
organized labor and the press, combined
forces yesterday in an assault on the ad-
ministration spy bill before the House
Judiciary Committee. The bill was as
sailed as an attack upon the principles
Of democracy and calculated to create a
dictatorship which would end the free in
stitutions of the United States.
The speakers were Jane Adams. presi-
dent Of the Woman's Peace Party; Gil
bert f. Roe. a New York attorney who
formerly was n partner of Senator La
Toilette; John Reed. war correspondent;
Charles T. Hallinan. of the American
Union Against. Miitarism. and Harry
Weinberger. representing the Free
Speech League of America
While cOnceding the right of the gov
ernment to impose censorship which
would prohibit anybody from attempt
ing to create dissatisfaction in the armed
forces of the country or disclose military
secrets to an enemy, the speakers were
unanimous in declaring that the pending
bill would establish a censorship more
stringent than any now existing in the
countries of the old world.
