1T WAS A FAMOUS VICTORY

The following is description of
an illustration in the London Daily
Sphere:
Here are depicted details of an
other great Prussian victory" one
heralded throughout Germany as "of
much military Importance" If these
little girls, the manned and multilat-
ed victims of recent air raid on
London, were permitted to grow up
into womanhood they might bear
arms against the Hun.
Two of the bombs dropped by air
planes in that raid went through the
roof of London County Council
school, passed through the third
floor, occupied by boys, through the
second, occupied by girls, and ex-
ploded in the first floor among the
kindergarten classes. Soldiers and
sailors, on leave from the front, the
police and the Red Cross were quick
to the rescue and carried the inno-
SSiI NiCtiIlS Ol IHe hdlSer 1flgnt-
fulness to ambulances and hospi-
tails.
Heartless and deplorable as such
raid is, the German Kaser's spies
in England perhaps never have told
him that in addition to being of no
military value it invariably causes
thousands of incensed and indignant
Britons, who perhaps otherwise
would not have fought, to take up
arms against the Germans. Such
raids made it possible for England
to put an army of more than four
million men lin the field. So those
little infants in the kindergarten
class, who were not bearing arms
and who had no chance for their
lives, are the silent heroes that
are sending victorious armies to
fight the battles of democracy.

THEY TAX FOOD
JUST THE SAME


inst. prints the following:
Oscar w. Underwood of Alabama,
in senate speech against the tax
ing of oleomargarine, said: "You
cannot tax the food of the people
for special interest. | oppose these
taxes. 1t is an effort to use the
great taxing power of this govern
ment to destroy food product in
order that special interest may
exact higher prices from the Amer
ican people. In the end it will not
stand. l say to the United States
Senate that you may have organized
dairy interests while the consum-
ers of this country are not organ
lied, and that you may bow the
suppliant knee to the organized
trust, no matter at what price it
may put the food products of this
country; but tell you there is an
organization coming in the United
States, and those who stand for
special interests may as well take
rotice of it now. That organi-
cation is the great consuming mass
of the American people. They
are no longer going to submit to
having food kept from their mouths
by unjust laws that are intended
to make wealth for great special in
terests. When the people of this
country are rioting in the streets
of the Empire City of America,
crying for bread, an organization
will come in this country that will
make this capitol resound with the
cry of the American people demand
ing Justice, demanding right, de
mandinG that the yoke of these
interests be taken from their necks."
Mr.. Underwood, we have made de-
mands repeatedly both on congress
and on individual members thereof,
but the nearest to action that has
been seen is the appointment of
Mr.. Hoover, without salary, to solve
the question of cheaper food prod
ucts. His plans as outlined may
bring some relief, but the special
interests" that you speak of will
not let go until many more are
strangled hard enough to see their
own individual power and exercise
it in the proper way.
Trusts are everywhere today,
stronger than before government
investigated" with a few money
fines. Some of these fines were
paid, some were not. We have
been warned the past few days
against a fuel famine in the state
of Washington. 1t has been stated
that shortage of coal miners is
feared, so the coal trust has seen
fit to raise the price of coal. In
this land of plenty in the State of
Washington also the price of wood
for fuel has been boosted. Lumber
and building materials have taken
raise almost unbelievable. Still
there seems to be no relief in sight
Where will it all end?
When the people themselves re-
move the yoke from their own
necks.

RELIGION IN THE
LABOR MOVEMENT
(By the Rev. Charles Stelzle)

(By the Kew. CnarleS StelZle)
There is so much religion in the
labor movement, and so much of the
social spirit in the church, that,
with the inevitable development of
each in these respects, it will some
day become a question as to whether
the church will capture the labor
movement, or whether the labor
movement will capture the church.
1t is becoming quite clear to most
of us, that neither side can afford
to ignore the other. While there
are good and sufficient reasons for
the church to discuss the problems
of how it may save the people, there
are also most excellent reasons
which prove that the people must
save the church.
Workmen almost universally honor
Jesus as a Great Friend and Lead
er. A recent writer said: "In
that fortress of progress which the
socialist workingmen of Belgium
have built in Brussels. the Maison
du Peuple, as you. pass from one
part to another of that hive of
many activities, you may happen to
go into an upper lecture-hall, and
note across the end of the platform
a great curtain hanging. 1t is
drawn revently aside, and behind it
one sees frescoe of the form of
Jesus, with hand uplifted pointing
the way above. 1t is surely deep
ly significant of the vital power of
His message, and of the way He
wins men still to follow Him."
Almost every mention of the name
Jesus in workingmen's meetings
brings forth the most hearty ap-
plause.
The average workingman is ma
turally religious. His religion may
not always be expressed in the orth-
odox manner, but it is there, nev-
ertheless. Infidelity scarcely ex-
lists among workingmen. AS
matter of fact, they respond most
readily to the religious appeal. 1t
is the testimony of nearly every
preacher that engages in shop meet
ings that they are never listened
to with greater respect and with
greater interest by any other kind
of an audience.
The social question is fundamen-
tally a moral and a religious prob
lem In the end, there will be
not one answer to the social ques-
ton, but many. But all will agree
in this-all will be religious 1t will
never be settled upon any other
basis. History has prophesied it.
The best labor leaders are coming
to recognize it. Present reform
measures indicate it.
These things prove that the work
ingman, in his devotion to Jesus
and in his natural religious DISPOSE
ton, is in an attitude of mind which
makes him peculiarly ready for the
introduction of great moral motive.
Insofar as he responds to this prin-
ciple, will he be given power in
the industrial world. Agitation, ed
ucation and legislation there will
continue to be, but they must be
always upon moral basis. And
that organization will survive among
workingmen--be it the church or the
labor movement which has the
greatest genius to .transmute these
high ideals into practical, everyday
living, meeting all their needs.

The Pine Bluff chapter of the American Red Cross society is making an earnest effort to secure all the Christmas kits for the soldiers by November g, so the packages can be sent to New York City in time for. transhipment by steamer that will per- nit of delivery to the soldiers on Christmas
 Those having soldiers Christmas kits they wish transmitted thru the Red Cross should notify Mrs. J. w. Wilkins, who will send for the pack ages and see that they are dispatched with others to be packed at the Red Gross Headquarters here.
 It is hoped that Pine Bluff will do dts part in making Christmas for the American soldiers in France some thing of the happy occasion that it IS at home. Cash may be contributed to the fund, the money to be used in providing these Christmas kits. For those desiring to make up kits, it is suggested that they be made up of articles from the following list: Handkerchiefs, khaki colored if pos sible.

Long and Short Falls.

In one Kansas City building, the ele- vator boy who works mornings Is very short, and the one who is on afternoons is very tall. When the short one comes up into view, he says "Watch your step," and you step out and down, al- though the floor Is more frequently up. Consequently, you stub your toe and lose your dignity. Then about noon, the tall boy looms up. He says .'Watch your step," and your sense of distances tells you the step is up. You raise your foot up. and fall down, crashing into the back of the car, provided some delicate old lady isn't in the way. AL together, the variety. of boys Is very an- noying to man with lame, stiff knee.

The Coming of a GREAT ENGINE
H .11akes High P01ver Out of Loav Crude Gas

A new manifold, termed "The Rams, horn,'' has been constructed of simple pip ing. It is on the exterior of the engine. It is a manifold of. easy curves so that there are no sharp corners for the raw gas to lodge against and be pushed into the cylinders.
 The next development was to give the gas the proper amount of heat after it came from the carburetor. - What is termed ''hot plate'' is built in at the top of the throat of the carburetor SO that the gas coming straight up from the car- buretor hits the ''hot plate the dimensions of which have been worked out very scien- tifically, and then passes around the easy curves of the smooth manifold in perfect state of mixture and at the proper tempera- ture to each of the cylinders. < .
 The case of this Chalmers engine has been proved. 4
 l. On August and 2, Joe Dawson drove Chalmers equipped with this same engine 1898 miles in 24 hours-faster and farther than anyone ever before had traveled on land, sea or air.
 If there's flaw in pattern, or part, a solid day of bitter, brutal speed will find it.
 ?. There are over 1000 Chalmers containing this engine now in use. They check up past all expectations.
 Therefore, the Maxwell Motor Com pany, which has leased The Chalmers Motor Company, has put its O. K. on this engine, and accordingly on the Chalmers car.
 90 per cent of any automobile is the engine; and no car can be bit better than its engine.
 So you arc safe in writing your check for Chalmers. <. 4}a

Men who drive cars are face to face with condition that becomes more and more serious each day.
 That condition is the constantly de- clining grade of gasoline: .s Nearly every engineer has said goodby forever to high-grade gas. For the moment, and possibly for all time, multi-cylinders, counter balanced crankshafts, and little tricks with valves give way in engineers discussions to the '''gas problem.
 Every alert engineer is bending his utmost to make ''one drop of gas now do the work of two''.
 -s Just as great situations produce great men, SO out of this condition has come great engine. :;
 It is Chalmers.
 It makes high power out of low grade
 Compared with other engines of the same size or whereabouts, it shows:
 More bo1oer More ratid accelerotion
 Greate,' economy Greater length of Ate t,s Greater snoothness And an ama&nq ability % stdrt quickly on q cold day, end 70 'qc0,m nb ecithont delay.
 The Chalmers engine is simple one. That is one reason why 1t Is so good.
 In many engines of the moment the gas passes on its way from the carburetor to the cylinder through tunnel, which runs all the way through the engine block.
 Before the gas gets to the cylinder it is forced to turn many sharp angles and does not become completely mixed with the air.
 This results in raw gas running into not only one but all the cylinders, particularly when the car is cold, and especially when running for the first five or ten miles.
 In the case of the Chalmers engine this type of intake manifold has been com pletely eliminated.

COWS NEED SOME MINERALS
Animals Unable to Utilize Sufficient
Amount From Ordinary Ration to
Support Body.

1t has been definitely proved that
cows which produce heavy flow Of
milk are not able to utilize sufficient
mineral matter from the ordinary ra-
ton to maintain the proper quantity
of minerals in the body; in other
words, more of these mineral ele-
ments are given off than the COW can
Obt''n from the ration, and the body
of the COW is robbed of mineral ele-
ments to supply the deficiency.
In addition to an ordinary ration,
one ounce of common salt per COW
daily is sufficient to maintain the
proper quantity of sodium and chic
rine in COW producing 40 pounds of
milk daily. An ordinary mixed ration
supplies sufficient potassium for every
need of a high-producing COW. The
element calcium or lime appears to be
deficient in all cows except those with
a very low milk production.
The deficiency of minerals in the
ration had no apparent effect on the
amount or composition of the milk.
This fact proves that the deficiency
is overcome, as far as possible, by
mineral elements taken from the body
of the COW. While the nitrogen COM
pounds from alfalfa hay were slightly
more digestible than those from clover
hay, the nitrogen from clover was
equally as valuable, because it was
more completely utilized than the al
falfa nitrogen. The quantities of nj
trogen utilized from clover and alfalfa
were therefore practically the same.

LARGEST RECORD FOR MILK
Cow High in Flesh at caIving Time
Gives Much Richer Milk for Long
Period Than When Thin.

Missouri Investigators have shown
that COW high in flesh at calving
time gives very much richer milk for
some time than would be the case
were she thin. This knowledge is
now made use of by every breeder of
dairy cattle who desires to make the
largest possible record for milk and
butter fat production.
Another interesting discovery is that
when COW is underfed that tempo
rarily she gives richer milk rather
than thinner as might be expected.
This is of great Importance in connec-
ton with making tests of cows and
failure to understand this effect has
resulted in wrong conclusions from
many experiments conducted with
cows in the past.
