The Constitutional Conven-
ton will reconvene in Little
Rock Sept. 1S to act on the
constitution as presented to it
after the work of the phras-
aeology committee and the cod
ification committee has been
done. The committee on sub
mission has decided to submit
the instrument en- bloc, but a
great many think it would be
much better to submit some of
the more important articles
that differ from the old con-
stitution separately, so that the
voter can accept or reject, as
he may see fit.

We believe our farmers real
ize how much depends on them
in this war, and that all are do
ing and will continue to do their
best, making every foot of land
give the best possible returns
in food for man and beast. True
this part of the country has
been hard hit by the drouth,
but that is going to bring forth
even greater effort. Think
what the result would be. how
ever, if every fence corner and
waste place in this county was
made to produce something
that could be made available
for food.
Washington telegraph., 1918-09-06

The drouth has been broken
and nice rains over the county
will help out in the late crops,
such as peas, sweet potatoes,
turnips, etc. These crops have
been made to help out wonder
fully in saving other things that
have been made scarce on ac-
count of the drouth.

Reunion Visitors In September at Tul-
sa viii See Monument To
Irving Who Visited
the Spot in 1882.

Tulsa, Okla, August.-In the early
thirties, the renowned Washington Irv-
ing came over from England and made
tour OF parts of the United States.
His tour to the southwest included
a stop among the Indians at the pres
ent location of the city OF Tulsa. Lo-
cal history has it that he paused ON
an eminence about a mile northwest
of the center of the present business
district of Tulsa, and took a compre-
hensive view of the valley of the Ar
kansas spread out before him. The
following description of the land
scape, and prophecy of the future
wealth of the community, appears in
his sketches of the American tour:
This seems to me to be the Prom.
Used Land, flowing with milk and
honey. On the rich herbage of the
pra3ries will be fed herds of cattle
as ipnumerable as the sands upon the

PUBLIC LIBRARY NEEDS BOOKS

deep of the fresh sweetness. Of the
September air?
The woods seem alive with life
little gray squirrels are busily en-
gagged burying nuts for the winter, for
they have a way of knowing as well
as we that the time will soon come
when "the frost is on the pumpkin
and the folders in the shock" and
their storing away for winter use is a
lifelong habit, not one instigated by
Mr.. Hoover.
Such a walk will not only give you
a keen appreciation Of the beauties
of the autumn woods but will afford
relaxation for tired nerves, bring
bloom to your cheeks and give you an
appetite that would do justice to any
meal.

SPANISH INFLUENZA

There are good points to almos
everything these days if we can only
see them, even Spanish influenza.
A large dance that was to have beer
given in Springfield, Mass, for the sol
diers at Camp Devens was postponed
indefinitely on account of the danger
of spreading the disease The money
obtained from the sale of tickets was
refunded where it was asked for, but
in most cases the purchaser kept his
ticket and allowed the dollar to go to
a fund to buy comforts for the boys
who are soon to leave for France.
The comforts will be a good deal
more appreciated in France by the
soldiers than a few hours of dancing
here.

TELEGRAPH SERVICE CHANGES

Another conservation measure by
the Government is the reduction OF
the country's telegraph service by such
means as the closing Of the Columbia
Office at 10 o'clock in the evening,
the suspension of the pickup" ser
vice, the errand service and the priv
ilege of charging messages.
The new measures may be more in
convenient than the old order of
things but in the end they will be
productive of good. If a person has
to walk down to the telegraph office
to send a message, he will be sure it
is important before he starts.
With the scarcity of labor growing
more acute as the number of men in
national service increases, anything
that adds to the man-power of the
Nation by doing away with non-es-
sentials is a direct asset in winning
the war.

The two and half million soldier!

it would be impossible for the mai
service to handle such an enormous
lot of them.
Their next Of kin may obtain STAN
dard sized containers from the local
Red Cross. The boxes measures
by 3 by inches. This will seem small
to generous-hearted mothers who
would like to send big boxes crammed
full of goodies, but under the new ar
rangement each soldier will be more
apt to get box than the other way.
The boys in France realize more
than we, the uncertainty of the mails,
and many of them who failed to re-
ceive their boxes from home at all
last year will appreciate the standard
box. They will value the gifts all
the more for their smallness, for they
will realize that much love and good
wishes are wrapped into that by
by inches.

IDEALS FOR STUDENTS

Boys and girls who are to count
largely in our community life wher
they become men and women must be
actuated by ideals of service, be able
to think straight, and be willing to
cooperate with others in those ac-
tivities which make for the common
good. The question for every teacher
is. Are my pupils developing these
ideals and abilities now%-George D.

THE NEW BOOKS
"Dave Porter Under Fire.

Edward Stratemeyer is said by the
New York Times to be of all living
American writers for boys the most
widely read. His books are always
timely, and in his new volume Dave
Porter Under Fire" his hero has, as is
to be expected from so typical a speci-
men of Americas young manhood,
promptly been made 10 do his bit in
France. Dave, now a fully qualified
civil engineer, is enrolled in the En-
gineering Corps Of the United States
Army and wins distinction by being
equal to the occasion in the many ex-
citing experiences which fall to his lot.
Mr.. Stratemeyer has had unusual ad-
vantages in securing material for this
book and in his gifted way has made
the most of them.
