Vagrancy in Ill Favor

Vagrancy is in i'll favor in Arkansas
The State Council of defense is backing
up Gov. Brough in his campaign to see
that every able bodied man in the state
does his part in this day of national
crisis. The Governor has called upon
all the peace officers of the state to
report all cases of vagrancy, and see
that idlers, loafers, and non producers
are given productive employment.
There is a class of people who can
not be classified as tramps. but who
live in idleness most of the time. who
work but little and are generally known
in the community as consumers and
not as producers. This is the class
of people. said Frank Pace. in a report
on the subject to the State council,
that should be compelled to go to
work. go to war. or go to Jail. Mr.
Pace calls attention to a small town
in Oklahoma where public meetings are
held, and this class of slackers pointed
out by name in the audience. and where
the force of public sentiment is 80
strong that they cannot long remain in
this undesirable class.

Hawaiian Musical Instru-
ments

Much of the beauty of the Hawaiian
music is due to the native instrument,
the ukelele pronounced 90 lay lay y
In appearance it is a miniature guitar.
but has only four strings and is played
with a swinging motion from side to
side. This method of playing the in
strument gives it it's name, we are told,
ukelele meaning bouncing flea" The
genuine Hawaiian made instrument is
made from koa or kou wood, which
adds to its tone quality. This wood is
becoming very scarce and is hardly OBJ
tainable. The ukeleles made in the
States are manufactured by guitar
manufacturers from our native woods.
We cant all visit Hawaiia, but our
lyceum course committee has made it
possible for us to hear and see these
unique instruments. Vierra's Royal
Hawaiians will appear here Friday
night. March 18TH as the last number

The Need of Broad Thinking

We are ali apt to get into grooves of
favorite thoughts and thus become
contracted both in thinking and prac
ticing and deceive ourselves in believ
ing that we are discharging our high
est duties to God and man. If we do
not seek to widen our minds to take in
or absorb. and control our utterances
as well as our acts, to give forth the
glory of God as it is in Christ, our lin
itations and contractions will repel
some of our friends or fellow men from
the true religion of love and brother
hood who might have been won by a
completer and broader spirited Chris
tianity in ourselves.
All the services in the Presbyterian
church. Dermott's popular homelike
church. are free from bigoted church
anity and filled with Christly christ
ianity Of brotherly love. No one is
ever a stranger in the services in this
church because of the cordial welcome
and warmth of fellowship; to attend
once means that you will attend
again. When making up your mind

the Quintet is a soloist, either instru-

Their repertoire includes all the songs

classical and operate numbers. The
entire company appears in native
Hawaiian dress. They present musical

THE BUSINESS CAPITAL.

Heretofore we have had two ma
tional capitals, one for government
and the other for business. Now,
by an unprecedented concentration
of authority, the political and eco
nomic capitals are combined.
Washington is today the business
center of the United States. New
York plays second fiddle. That
metropolis lost its financial primacy
when the regional banking system
went into effect. Now, with the fed
eral treasury department more than
ever arbiter of the nations finances,
New York has also lost its grip on
industry and to large extent, on
commerce.
The government runs the rail-
roads. 1t runs the telegraphs and
telephones. 1t runs the ships. 1t
runs the mines. 1t runs the farms.
1t runs the factories. Over almost
every important branch OF business,
whether connected with production,
distribution or cOnSumptlon, w ash
ington exercises a direct or indirect
control.
The president, along with his ira
ditional political leadership, direc-
tion of routine administrative work
and command of the army and navy,
has become super-captain OF in
dustry.
Never in the history of the world
has so much power, OF SO many
kinds, been centralized in one city
and welded by one man.
1t is, of course, a necessary de
velopment of war. But what an un-
scrambling lob there will he alter
ward--if we want to unscramble
things.

THE VICTORIES OF ALLIES
IN FRANCE ALSO HELP TO
BEAR FIGURES

Chicago, Aug, l0.-Pronounced
esetbacks in the price OF corn result
ed today from excellent weather
conditions and from the allied VIC
tories in France. The market closed
weak, IL cents to 3 IA cents net
lowed with Sept. Sl.5S 7-S to
$l.59 1-S and Oct. $l.60 l-8 to
$l.60 Ia. Oats lost ! 3-S cents TO
l 5-S cents. In provisions, there
were gains Of 7 to 40 cents.
General selling pressure which
kept the corn market almost CON
stantly on the down grade seemed
to come about chiefly through the
outlook for crop improvement as
good rains over wide districts were
reported and the prevailing temper
atures were of a seasonable char
acter. Throughout the day also con-
tinuous bulletins which announced
success after success OF the allies
tended to make buyers scarce, and
to emphasize bearish sentiment.
Liberal receipts and expected de-
liveries on contracts weakened oats
arrivals for the week were nearly
double the corresponding total last
year, export demand was lacking.
Strength in the hog market gave
provisions a lift, some buying OF
lard ascribed to packers.

SAVING 100000 TONS OF
COAL,

The fuel administration estimates
that the country needs l0O,0Oo,oOO
tons of coal more than usual this
year, on account OF the increased de-
mand for war industries and export.
1t appears virtually impossible TO
produce that much more. At best,
it is a tremendous undertaking.
Production can be speeded up
somewhat, and will be; but that is
not the only recourse. Economy
in burning coal may accomplish as
much toward gaining that requisite
tonnage, as greater energy i'll dig
ging and hauling it. In other words.
the public has as much response
bility in the matter as the coal op-
orators and miners.
Engineers figure that industrial
concerns might save 2O00O,OO0 to
30,000,000 tons year by improved
methods OF burning the coal and us
ing the heat and power they get
from it. Furnaces are often de-
fective. Most factories still pour
out huge quantities of fuel Ill the
form of smoke--an unfaiing Sigh ot
wasteful combustion. Steam is al
lowed to go to waste. Steam pipes
or hot water pipes are not encaSed
in asbestos. Machinery runs much
of the time unproductively. A great
saving might be effected through
the consolidation of power plants.
Householders have even more re-
sponsibility, for there is compara-
lively more waste in homes than
elsewhere. This is good time OF
year to get busy and apply the rem
edy.
Do you depend to any great eN-
tent on the old, wasteful method OF
heating your house by means OF
CRATE fires, which let nearly all the
heat go up the chimney? Do your
heating stoves, if you have them,
give full value for the coal con-
sumed? Is the furnace scientifical-
ly constructed, and in good working
order? Are the steam pipes or hot
al pipes PlOPSiy Nl"PPNu ~ Pa
vent the escape of heat? Is the
house itself as tight and warm as 1t
may be made, or u regular sieve
when winter winds strike it! These
days of weather respite afford a
chance to look after all such mat
tiers.
We can save most OF that 100000,
900 tons, and the miners can dig the
rest, if we all get busy on the job
now. That viii insure the operation
of all our war industries at full ca
pacity. 1t will also mean the saving
of 100000 babies from dying next
winter from the direct or indirect
effects of cold.

OUR BIG CONTRIBUTION.

Some OF our Jingo Jubilatlons give
4 false impression. 1t is not the
American army alone that has
smashed that Scissors Marne-
Rheims salient and sent the Huns
reeling back to the Aisne. 1t is not
the Americans primarily. Let US
not forget that 70 per cent of the
troops participating in that glor-
ious feat were French. The Amer
. ican contingent may be set down
doughty at 20 to p per cent. There
were a few British and Italians.
All fought well. We should claim
no more than our share OF the
credit. Our chief glory is that our
troops. raw as they were, fought as
well as the French veterans, our
masters in modern warfare as well
as our comrades in arms.
AT the same time, we may find
gratitude in the knowledge that the
very presence of our boys on that
battlefront made the French sur
pass themselves. The veteran polius
had the skill that comes only from
experience. They had courage that
we cannot excel. But after four
years of such gruelling struggle the
best and bravest soldier inevitably
becomes a little stale. He has lost
his first. impulsiye zeal. Fighting

our boys, in the full flush of their
novel experience, the war is a cru
SADIE and fighting is passion. Their
eager spirit undoubtedly had its et-
feet on the war-worn French, and
the veterans fought once more in
the same spirit that won the first
Marne battle.
We may count on the American
troops producing that effect on all
our hard-buffeted allies. They are
more than a physical army. They
are a spiritual force. With those
eager lads shouting and singing in
the charge, any battle line will fight
better, any army will take on a
keener edge and more imperious
will to win.

HAYWOOD DEFENDS
GANlAT|ON OF |. v. v.
SAYS DEFENSE FUNDS TIED
UP BY FEDERAL OPERA
TIVES' ACTS.

Chicago, Aug .l0.-Wm. G. Hay
wood, general secretary of the In
dustrial Workers of the World,
charged on the witness stand at the
conspiracy trial today that federal
operatives through illegal tactics
have so tied up the organization de-
fense funds that there is scarcely
money enough available to go
through with the trial.
"You understand, gentlemen,
pointing to the jury and raising his
voice, eve receive no German gold.
The defense money is obtained
through assessments and dona-
tons"
Haywood added that 800 sacks OF
mail were being held up in Chicago,
that express packages had not been
delivered, and produced envelopes to
substantiate his assertions concern
ing delayed mail.
Five hundred members OF our
defense committee have been ar
rested" he declared.
Haywood vigorously denied that
any member of the /. w, w. had
been expelled for joining the army,
and declared that the organization
had gone through its many strikes
without committing violence in one
OF them.
