Two Senators for Each State.

Congress consists of two senators from each state, the smallest state as well as the largest, and number or representatives, according to popula- tiOn. The basis of representation, or number of inhabitants for represen- tative, is fixed by congress under each recurring census so as to secure ade- quate representation for every state without making the house too large and unwieldy. The Constitution Of the United States, adopted in l789, said the number of representatives should not exceed one for every 3O,OOO of population, and as no census had yet been taken, 3O,O0O was adopted as the ratio of representation and the population of the different states was estimated. By this process the first house of representatives consisted of 65 members. Since then congress has passed 13 apportionment acts, under l3 different censuses, changing the basis of representation every time except once.
 In 1900 and in 1910 the ratio was fixed a. one representative for 33,OOO population. In 1920 the ratio was in- creased to 35,OOO, and it has been in- creased every tenth year since till 1t is now 211.S77, while the membership of the house has increased from 65 to 435.

BUY WATCHES TO GET GOLD
Ingenious Scheme of Central Empires to Increase Their Supply of tho
 Precious Metal.

It is an oddity of the world war that the jewelry trade is fiourishing. A se- cret article in the Revue Suisse d'Ex- portation of Geneva gives an interest. Ing view of this situation and also sug- gests method by which the central empires undoubtedly have increased their gold supply-namely, the impor- tation of gold jewelry to be melted in- to bullion.
 In the course of the crisis provoked by the European war we pass from one surprise to another, says the Revue. The belligerent countries, one after an- other, have imposed measures forbid ding the importation of luxurfes and watches. In spite of all these difficult ties the orders, particularly for gold watches of medium price, are received In increasing numbers by our watch makers, while those for watches of high and low prices are few.
 The jewelry trade has passed through a prosperous period, which is not yet over. In fact, it is at it's height. Everything went we'll so long as there were no abuses, but the time came when jewelry, especially heavy gold chains without much workman ship, began to be exported to the Ori- ent. High prices were paid for these articles. Gold (fine) in Switzerland is valued at about $72O a kilo (2.2 pounds) and in the Orient, or at Vienna, it is quoted at $2,40O per kilo. There is. therefore, a considerable m"rgin which allows large profit to our manufacturers and their agents, also to foreign merchants. These ar acles, however, are not all destined for Turkey. A great many of them find their way into the central em- pires. I
 When steps were taken to check this trade numerous orders for watches with cheap movements in heavy gold cases came flowing into the watch- making centers. These orders were destined for Constantinople. The scheme was perfectly apparent, and government authorities took prompt measures to put 8 stop to the proceed ing.

known that the automobile concerns are ordered to go on a Hooper, war basis, it may be inferred that their capacity will be fully occupied with war work. Earnings, therefore, are not likely to show much shrinkage. Orders for pleasure cars will no doubt accumulate, and when peace is de- clared the demand for such vehicles will probably be greatly accelerated. To the layman, consequently, it looks as if the big automobile manufactur- ing concerns will not have to under go any serious hardship in point of business during the war. The only one liable to feel any deprivation are the would-be- be-purchasers of cars. Pat riotism has already restrained many from buying during the war, and they will soon have stronger excuse than ever for postponing purchases.-C. E. Monitor.

Big Oil Supply.

Last year the United States pro- duced 341, ,SOO,0OO barrels of crude oil approximately 68 per cent of the worlds consumption. In 1916 its share was about 65 per cent. A large part of the fuel oil used by the Brit ish navy comes from Mexico. Last year Mexico produced 6O,000,OO0 barrels about 2O,OO0,OOO barrels over the out put the year before. Russia in 1917 produced 7O,OOO,OOO barrels, falling off of about 100000 barrels from the 1916 production. In the Dutch, Eas' Indies 14,000,OOO barrels were pro duced last year and 17,OO0,OOO barrels the year before. Roumania in 1911 produced 11,OOOOOO barrels as com pared with 1O,OoO,O0O the year pre- vious. Most of the Roumanian oil fields are now under control of Ger many.-The Pathfinder.

"OvER THE TOP"

Citizens of Pine Bluff and Jefferson county have responded to the fullest extent in subscriptions to war pur- poses and have in every instance pass ed the quotas assigned. However, in the matter of war savings stamps and war savings certificates the city and county is short of the desired quota.
 This fact may be attributed to sev- eral reasons. However, the fault is not the lack of sympathy or the will lingness to reach the top rung in this drive. The principal reason is believ- ed to be that the people of this city and county have been busily engaged in putting over" the other war meas ures and have thot the thrift campaign could be attended to any time during the year. The campaign closing January 1, 1919.
 The time is getting limited and many counties have passed their goals and that Jefferson county is behind in this movement is of much surprise turnout the state.
 This matter will be attended too promptly and it is believed that the citizens will now realize that the repu- tation of the city and county is now at stake. It has not yet been doubted and the people will see that it is never questioned.
 Subscribe to the movement today and "put it over" in short time.

The wishes of President Wilson have been respected by the voters of Mississippi. J. K. Vardaman the "bell COW" in Democratic politics in pre- vious years was not desired by the ad- ministration. The president made this known in a public statement. He did not ask the people not to return Vardaman to the senate but simply stated that Vardaman had not proven an asset. The citizenry of the state desired assets on the country's war ledger and Vardaman was declared an item on the profits and loss side ot the book.

ALL THE ADVANTAGE

The Allied armies have sprung numerous surprises at the expense and modification of the German high officials, within the past few weeks which said officials are having con- siderable trouble in explaining to the German populace.
 Among hordes of prisoners taken in the recent drives several letters writ ten by Hun soldiers "back home" give evidence that the people of Germany are at last awaking to the fact that the cause of the Kaiser and his CO., horts is not only futile but possibly an evil one.
 Field Marshal Haig at one end and General Foch at the other, on the sal tents have struck sudden and instan- teanous blows, which have killed thousands of the Grown Princes" troops besides taking many thousands in prisoners, ammunition, guns and supplies. All of which is hard for the German officers to explain, this giv- ing the Allied armies an additional advantage in the future fighting. The German troops are losing heart and "pep" and with millions from this country going over soon, the intelli- gent German people can't fail to see that the advantage is all with the al- lied armies.
 The end of the war by 1919 is not only possible but very probable under present conditions. The advantage is now conceded to us, all that remains is to push it.
