subscribed to the Liberty loan they
 have done their full share. Unless
 there is a lacking up of labor in min ing and many ether industries by the
 national leaders the nation will fall
 short in all it's plans.
 Let me state the conclusion of the
 whole matter: We are performing in-
 credible feats, but what we are doing is not half our maximum effort. We shall not be in the war as we should
 be until every woman in the nation Is
 working hand in hand with the male portions of our population in doing something useful and constructive. We shall not be one the right road to victory until the idler and the parasite,
 male and female, stand before their
 friends disgraced; until luxury is ban ished
 "1his does not mean that we should fail to preserve our institutions to the best of our ability. We must leave no place of authority in our narrow life for the inconsderate and narrow mon who would handle brutal prac- tices in the handling of our businesses, under the guise of war necessity. There is no reason why harsh treat ment should prevail when kindlier and less destructive methods will secure the desired result
 "Uncle Sam's uniform CT any kind of Federal employment, even in the face of our present crisis, does not carry with it license to be nsolvent Or unreasonable. If We give no thought to the days following hostili. ties we shall start that era of peace in the same unprepared fashion in which we entered the war.
 "The final outcome of our fight l is certain. We shall accomplish what | we set out to do. Let us hope for the l best, but prepare for the worst How ever, we must not start figuring on what might happen and forget to note what is happening Victory is only a question of indomitable resolution and rigid application. If our faith is tried let it only develop our patience. We must be dead in earnest, and not forget that though conceit may puff a nation it will not prop it up."
 Pine Bluff factories can send pro- ducts to tidewater at New Orleans without using the overburdened rail- ways, if the governmer. will just dc 8 little improvement work on the Ar kansas river. River and road work offer great opportunities to this sec etion today. Unless we seek to grasp these opportunities, Pine Bluff will not become the great commercial and industrial center it should be; the great center it's location in the midst of the richest part of the South makes possible.

In comprehensive article in last weeks issue of the Saturday evening Post, which appear under the heading Our War Limitations" Floyd w. Parsons discusses the remarkable achievements of America since it en- tered the war, and then shows that there must be changes in practices be- fore we can accomplish all of which we arc capable; all that must be done before we annihilate the Ger man autocracy. Distribution of war work over a greater area is one of tho things he points out as necessary but the government has already re- cognized this, and is arranging to utilize plants all over the country. Factories in the Pine Bluff territory will be engaged in war work. One of the advantages of distributing war contracts is to save long railroad hauls, and avoid congestion at ports. MT. Pearsons points out difficulty to which The Graphic is frequently referred, declaring:
 "'The chief danger in our labor situa. ton Is the foolish policy of encourag- ing production on a cost-plus basis All a manufacturer has to dc at pre- sent Is to secure his contracts from the government, and then get sup ply of workmen from some neighbor- ing plant by offering them increased wages. The government will have tc solve this problem, and that soon, foi it has been proved that in many cases wages are so high the men find i easy to live in comfort when working only part time. The cost plus pIar is pernicious.

 5. By keeping personal expense accounts, club project accounts, or assisting your parents in keeping household or farm accounts during the year.
 The value of this enterprise lies in the fact that the school children of Oregon will be given an opportunity to think thrift as well as practice it.
 True constructive thrift never can be accomplished without systematic. orderly, mental process.

 AS indicating the tendency toward general thrift instruction, an interest ing development is noted in Oregon which well might be emulated throughout the nation.
 The Oregon Agricultural College Extension Service is cooperating with the State Bankers Association to encourage the study and practice of thrift by the school children of that state The basis of the work is a fifty dollar cash prize offered by the State Bankers Association for the best showing in five ways, as follows

OUR IMMENSE sHIpBuILDING

The nation has heard so much of Hog Island that it has overlooked nearly everything else in connection with out immense shipbuilding. The Delaware river, from above Philadelphia nearly to the capes, is the greatest shipbuilding river in the werld-and it attained this distinc- ton in six months. The Patapsco riv- CT, at Baltimore, from that city IS miles down to Chesapeake bay, is lin- ed with shipyards. Boston, Norfolk, Charleston and ether coast towns have similar records, while the Paci- fie coast even beats the Atlantic for efficiency.
