MUCH GAME IN THE WOODS
Abundance OF Quail and Small Game
Reported With Plenty Of Turkey,
Dear and Big Game In
Big Cypress

Last Wednesday signaled the open
ing of the game season, and by day
break there were sounds Of shotguns
at work in the vicinity of town
Due to change made in the game
laws last year this will be the frs
chance at the squirrels, too, as the
opening of the season was made the
same for all game, to avoid the
slaughter of quail and other things IN
self defense by squirrel hunters
who were sometimes threatened By
vicious quail while peacefully hunting
squirrels.
A plentitude of small gam" and
birds is reported in the woods, while
turkeys and deer are said to have beer
seen in the Big Cypress country in
quantities not noted for several
years.
A number of parties left Barlow
Monday bound for the Big Cypress
and other distant sections in quest Of
turkeys. deer and big game, while 10
caI parties too numerous to mention
went out early Wednesday for the
mail and small game nearby.-Bar'

WANTED A PERMANENT POLICY

There is much that is admirable in
the 0utbursts of anger displayed IN
the refusal of Americans to accent
that cargo of toys bought from Ger
many before we declared war. These
have recently been brought oversee
from Holland, released from embargo,
but we Americans would be upwise
| should they let their economic poli.
cies be determined by their aroused
feelings This is a very rare event
brought about by barbarism. In the
war just ended, we shall hardly be
considered as good managers OF bust
ness If we would be content To take
in these imported goods that we could
just as well make here at home, and
alter course only when nation
from whom we have been accustomed
to buy has adopted policy of muir
dering and manning women and chill
dren-of an enemy alien. What this
country now needs is carefully con
sidered economic policy which does
not shut out all imports and at the
same time does not open our prts TO
all. There is of course some things
we have to buy from foreign coun
tries, but by far the greater portion
we need can be produced right here
at home. This attitude should not BE-
considered antagonistic to other ma
tons Whether an ally or an enemy
we certainly should adopt a policy
that will not allow hte cheapness of
foreign labor to shut out our boys
from plenty Of well paid work who
left all to 60 and win the war victory.
We have in this country certain stand
ards of living and these are of ne.
cessity higher in cost than those OF
nations of which we are in trade com
petition And in order to insure the
continuance of these higher standards
it is a vital point that we protect our
American producers as against the
foreigner who are content to exist I'M
der the lower conditions. This nation
certainly needs permanent polio,
based upon sound business principles
and made up to equalize the differ
ences of the cost of production so thai
we shall not buy the products Of for
eign labor While maybe our boys that
went in and won the victory have to
remain idle. Indignation is well per
haps in its place, but 1t Is no sort of
factor nor the measure to establish
economic principles. ! may of cours-
be wrong in my abstracting and If so
am quite willing to be forgiven.

Beard of Commerce should immedi- ately take steps to put a stop to such profiteering.
 The Graphic feels there is not a business man in Pine Bluff-restau- ranteur or merchant-who would not be glad to handle the increased vol ume of business coming from the To- cation of a cantonment at the same margin of profit he earns now. Possi- bly,, because of the greater income he might find it possible to reduce his gross profits. And if there is, we have sufficient confidence in the pa- triotism and courage of our council of defense, Chamber of Commerce and other organizations to feel that profiteering at the expense of sol diers would not be tolerated.

BARRIERS SHOW FINE SPIRIT.

It is a fine spirit that moved the white barbers of Pine Bluff to elect to take only half a holiday cn July 4 and to give the entire receipts of the shops on that day to the Red Cross. It shows they are appreciat- i've of the sacrifices of our soldiers, many of them barbers, are making fer the nation. Such acts demonstrate better than all the words in the dic- tionary how solidly the American people are behind the government in the war on Germany, and how will ing they are to do everything neces- sary to help beat the Germans. The entire receipts of the white barber shops on July will go to the Red Cross, the cost of materials being borne by the owners of shops, and even the colored "shines" contributing their services. It is fine thing to do And the barbers, like other classes, stand ready to do more. That the entire plan originated with the bar bers themselves reflects the greater credit upon them.

GOUGING THE SOLDIERS.

A civilian went into local restau- rant yesterday and ordered half a cantaloupe. When he received his check or bill for Is cents, he remark ed that he had paid 30 cents in Lit tie Rock the day before for the same order.
 This is not the first report receiv- ed in Pine Bluff of the tactics of res tauranteurs and other tradesmen in Little Rock and other cantonment cit ies in extracting eXorbitant prices in profiteering at the expense of the soldiers and their relatives, and the travelling public.
 A writer in national publication recently made a comparison of prices charged by restaurants in cantonment cities with those of other cities of similar size In every instance, it was shown that where large bodies of troops are located the prices are higher.
 This does not only obtain in the prices charged for food, but of uni forms, caps, leggins, puttees, shoes and boots, and other soldier equip ment. Becaue the soldiers must have these things the greedy tradesmen gouge them.
 If there is anything contemptibe it is this practice of profiteering at the expense of men who are ready to sacrifice their life in order to protect Americans, including the very ones who are increasing their own wealth at the expense of the soldiers.
 Holding up the soldiers is almost as bad as robbing the widow, and the communities in which it is practiced should take immediate steps to rem edy the evil.
 Because Little Rock is in Arkansas and because most men from Jefferson county are sent tc Camp Pike, we are mostly interested in the conditions in that city. It is disagreeable for peo' pie from Arkansas to have those of other states charge that the trades men of our capital city are gouging the soldiers; especially so when we know it is true.

You see, he had been getting queerer and queerer for long time, and when he went about whis. pering in confidence that he was the Aate Og, king of Bashan, people shook their heads, but guessed he'd get bet. ter pretty soon, But when they found out tfat he was taking just as good care of his farming implements as he was of his automobile, they knew there wasn't anything to do but to send him."
