vey false reports and statements with
the intent to interfere with the oper-r
alton and success OF the military and
naval forces Of the United States,
made $70,000,00O in one year before
the war, and when war started they
raised the price Of steel from $29 a
ton to $92 a ton, or an advance prof
it OF $63 a. ton, and made $270,-
100000 the next year. Where did 1t
go? Robbing corporations making
makes it hard to raise wheat.
Gasoline has gone up, twine and
shoes. We claim these organizations
are pro- German. We have to take
out of the children's savings
to buy war savings stamps
to pay for big prices the government
pays for steel. The reason why we
have to buy Liberty Bonds Is because
tho government pays all money for
excess profits to the DUPONT Powder
company and other corporations. The
DUPONT Powder company made $751;

TROUBLES OF THE NEWSPAPERS
The newspapers have been hard hit
by the wsr. During the last ninety
days twenty-seven Arkansas papers
have been suspended, or for the period
of the war, and ACCORDING t. orders
from Washington no new rapt1 IN
be established until after til IT.
Not only have paper and ink more
than doubled in price, al lhbor be-
come so scarce THAI in n u y instances
none can be forAfd, but the govern
ment has found it necessary as a
conservation measure to issue strict
regulations for the management of
newspapers. Bur the newspapers are
rot complaining, not even at the it,
creased rates nader the coming sys-
tenn of the postal Department. Every
rody IS bearing ssrc.- airing the
war, and Going so will. ~, so that
the newspaper nsn's lot Ii not worse
than that of mssav others. To be SURF,
the newspapers are recognized by all
indispensable agency for spreading the
gospel of civilian war activity. With
ont the influence Of the newspapers.
the morale of the public would be re-
duced to chaos. It lis the newspapers
that have made possible ,.e success
OF the Liberty loans, the Red Cross
campaigns, TIE sefectivv draft, the
food and fuea Administrations, and the
many other things upon which the
success of the allied cause depends.
The newspapers of Arkansas yield to
none in their loyalty anu devotion
to the flag, and obedience to all reg
ulations that mnv be prescribed, but
had they been making the regulations,
would have suggested few changes
that would make compliance less
onerous. Tire day of the dollar weekly
is rapidly passing. Many of them ErNe
increased their rates to $3.50, ami

1t is not alone the country weekly
that has it's troubles, but the city
daily comes IN for it's share. increased
cost of everything is making the bust
ness harder. and the La Dor conditions
are becoming "a very serious problem
Reporters and editors, printers and
pressmen, have gone or are going &c

, employed in the various branches Of
the newspapers than ever before
