Modern Poetry.

Poetry, like every great force, has Followed an evolution of its own, and as it comes to us today we may trace In 1t this general tendency. It has tended away from the epic and the ex- pression of broad communal or na- tional feeling, and expresses now far more than 1t did. in far more subtle and intricate directions, the feelings Of the individual. If 1t gives voice on public, national or international events 1t does so from far more specialized and personal point of view than of old. and with something of the acerbity and narrow intellectual outlook of the party politician. The strength of mod ern poetry hardly seems to He for the futuro In this direction.

The Army Behind the Army in Front is rallying to the call of the colors.
 Patriotic fervor is aflame through out the state of Arkansas, and it's people are determined that nothing shall be left undone in the demon stration of their loyalty and practical effort for the winning of the war. When the story is told by the his- torians of the future no state shall have brighter page than that de- voted to Arkansas. The heroic sons of the state are al- ready receiving their baptism of blood in the vicarious sacrifice that is being made for the safety of the world.
 Many soldiers from this state have camps, some from accident, some have gone down at sea, and not few have been slain Ma the furious as- saults at the front. For long time the statement had been made that "when the casualty lists begin to ar rive, then the people will begin to wake up.". The casualty lists have be- gun to arrive, and they find the peo- pie already awake.
 Below is a partial list of the Ark ansas casualties that have been re- ported of those, for the most part, "killed in action," though, of course, this is not a complete list:

All members of his family, except Maj. Richard Fairbanks, who is, in France, were at the bedside.
 Last of Log Cabin Statesman The distinction of birth in a log cabin, which illustrious Americans of an earlier day commonly had, was also that of former President Fairbanks. It is probable that he was the last of American statesmen to have been born in one of these humble cabins.
 The one where he was born on May II, 1852, was at Unionville Center, O.
 The Fairbanks home frequently was the hiding place of runaway slaves and no black man ever was turned away from the door. Fair banks was eight years old when Abraham Lincoln was elected presi- dent. Then followed the civil war, the stirring scene of which the future president followed with keen in- terest.
 Fairbanks, at 15, entered Ohio Wesleyan college at Delaware, Ohio, sharing an attic room with the son of another farmer, and the two cook ed their own meals. Fairbanks did carpenter work to earn his first law books. |?
 In January 1897 Mir. Fairbanks was elected to the United States senate. He took his seat on March 4, the day on which Mckinley became presi- dent. He became a close adviser of the president in the trying times be- fore and during the Spanish-Ameri-
 Among MT. Fairbanks greatest services to his country were those performed while he was a member of the United States and British joint commission, which dealt with the Alaskan boundary, lake fishing and other questions.
 MT. Fairbanks was recognized as one of the national leaders of the Re- publican party and as such was made chairman of the committee on reso- luticns at the Philadelphia national convention in 1900. He resigned from the senate March 4, 1905, having been elected vice-president on the Republi- can ticket with Theodore Roosevelt.
 While he was vice-president, Mir. Fairbanks, in 1900 became a candi- date for the nomination for president. He was defeated by Wm. H. Taft, and after his term as president ended, he went back to the practice of law.
 Mir. Fairbanks visited Arkansas last year, speaking in support of the Second Liberty Loan. He was scheduled to deliver an address in Pine Bluff, but declined to come be- cause he was afraid he, would be un-

have been elected.
Greatest curiosity ~centers, however,
on the strength Of the labor vote,
which under new conditions is on I'M
known quantity. While it is believed
that the women Of south England
mainly supported coalition candidates,
1t would be no surprise IL it is. found
that in the midland and northern in
dustrial counties the woman vote
largely supported labor. =.
It was because the labor party waa
determined to test its strength that It
refused to compromise with liberal
candidates in three-cornered con-
s%tituencies. although such a compro-
mise would have given the anti-Coali-
tiorists much greater strength in the
new parliament. The labor party
hopes to win over 100 yseats. but it Il
believed that, had the elections been
postponed until after the treaty OF
peace was signed the party would
have secured at least 200.
Political speculation is chiefly con-
cerned with the reconstruction Of the
cabinet after the election. One
rumor credits Premier Lloyd George
with favoring the appointment Of the
first woman minister. The name Of
Pankhurst is mentioned in this con-
nection.

PLANTATION is made Of the packing plant
project:
1.-THE packing company a a paid
up capital Of owe 100000. The
plant construction is estimated at
$450,00 0
"A large modern residence section
is being erected by the company in the
vicinity of the plant. Twenty-four
foundations have been laid and 10
houses are almost completed. The
houses will cost from $4,000 to $4,000
each. They are modern and well
equipped, and offer splendid living
conditions for the workmen Of the
plant.
1.-THE plant and residences will have
it's own water system and filterine
plant. Of approximately a half-million
gallons capacity per day.
THE officials Of the Equity So
operative packing Company regret
very much being unable to commence
operations this fall, owing to the
skilled labor shortage and delay in
arrival of equipment, due to war con-
ditions. However, the plant will be
in operation early this coming spring.
The proposal to increase the capital
stock of the company from $1,000,0 0C
to $3,O0O,0 900 will be decided at the
January meeting, the purpose Of the
increase being to provide greater CAPT.
tai for the company. It is pointed out
that the increased cost of livestock
makes a greater capital essential.
