1t is remarkable.h quietly bust
ness has re-adjusted itself all over
the country from a war basis to a
peace basis. After such a long per-
iod of destructive warfare it is sur
prising that business conditions
should remain on such an apparent
ly solid footing. President Wilson
stated in his message to Congress
that the American business man
was equal to the situation of recon-
struction and that business would
come back to normal with very lit
tie assistance from the Government.
Labor will be absorbed into the var
ious activities of the country as fast
as rehabilitation takes place in
the army. 1t will have a less dis
astrous effect upon industry to find
employment for these men when
they are dismissed from the service
than it had to call them so suddenly
from their various occupations all
over the country. The period Of
reconstruction promises a healthy
resumption of business activity.

Now that William G. McAdoo has
resigned as secretary of the treasury
and it is the concensus of opinion
that he will not seek the democratic
nomination for president IN 1920, he
is beginning to receive some of the
praise and expression of confidence
that were withheld from him by the
narrow partizan papers which ex-
pected to oppose his candidacy for
president. Even the hide-bound
Spokesman-Review, which never
gave him kind word during his
administration, states editorially
that he was without doubt one of

A Communication was received
from the war industries board stat
ing that on and after December /,
1918, the rules of the war industries
board governing weekly newspapers
will be withdrawn. 1t also states
that their action is prompted by the
fact that the amount of paper con-
sumed by the weekly newspapers
is not sufficient to at this time,
materially affect the newsprint sit
uation. 1t Use rather unfortunate
that the knowledge obtained by the
board should be secured at the eX-
pense of the country publisher, but
a little common sense should have
prompted them to the fact that the
country publisher who did not use
economical methods in the manage
ment of his business, would not be
running the business long anyway
During the past year the only
country publishers who have sur
vived are those who have used con-
servation methods all along the line.
1t takes money to be extravagant
and we do not know of any brother
publishers who are embarrassed by
an over-supply of shekels.

Bring Back My Soldier Boy to Me-

Bring Back My Soldier Boy to Me"
The following poem was handed
IN by Mrs. Frank Palmer:
Out on the ocean,
Sailing DER the stormy sea,
Is sweet-faced soldier boy
So,very dear to me.
Gone to foreign land
To fight for liberty;
When the cruel war is over
Bring him back to me.
Chorus.
Angels guard my soldier
Wherever he may be,
Sweet be his dreams
Upon the rolling sea.
Watch Ger him kindly,
Bring him ever peace and joy,
Guide him safely home to me
My sweet soldier boy.
For life and liberty, =
The dear red, white and blue,
He left his home
And all he loved most true;
Fighting meath the colors
Which the foe can ne'er destroy
He the victory will win,
My own soldier boy.
When peace and happiness
Upon this heart shall reign,
When those who've parted
Shall meet and love again;
0, may my darling
Not be numbered with the slain
Let me welcome to my heart
My soldier boy again.

COURSE IN WAR AIMS WILL
 SHOW WHY WE ARE FIGHTING

Fayetteville, Sept. 23.-A course in war aims, pointing out the supreme importance to civilization of the cause for which the United States is fighting, will be given at the Uni versity of Arkansas for the 800 mem bers of the Students Army Training Corps. The course will cover the economic and historic background of the war and the ideas and ideals of the people as shown in their form of government and their philosophy and literature. Since this is war of ideas, the course will be designed to give the members of the corps an un' derstanding of the view of life and society which they are called upon to defend and of that view against which they are fighting. Especial emphasis will be placed on what according to President Wilson's state papers, are the necessary conditions for satisfactory peace.

To the Public School Teachers

/ take this means of replying to a
number of inquiries which have come
to me this week from teachers all
over the county concerning the con-
tinued sale of War Saving and Thrift
stamps in schools.
So far as the sale of these stamps
is concerned there will be no let-up
or relaxation whatever as result
of an armistice having been signed
on the 18th instant, and not even in
the event of final peace terms being
signed. Our soldiers must be fed and
clothed until complete demoblization
takes place, which will be at least
eighteen months or two years hence.
Our government also will continue
to make large loans to our allies, even
after onr own rehabilitation is consul
mated. We will, therefore, continue
to be asked to transfer our purchas-
ing power to the Government by buy
ing War Saving Stamps and Liberty
Bonds. The Treasury Department
has already announced a Fifth Lib
erty Loan, and it states further that
in all probability there must needs be
Sixth Loan. So that, although the
victory is won, we cannot relax in
any of the war activities until all our
boys are safe at home and we have
fulfilled our obligations to our Allies
This one thing / would have you
remember: These stamps are not
on sale in the schools for the mere
sum total in dollars and cents to the
government in financing the war.
