we sure have them in Company F. The flrst five squads are over six feet tall and down through the 14th squad you will find them all over fit. 10 in. Most all of the fellows are asking about their chances of going to the trenches and dozens are asking for transfers to the front line units. But there is nothing doing till we get some of this work done. If the first fifteen squads of F Company ever turn loose on that many Germans then there will be that many German soldiers out of luck.
 From Mrs. Macs letters. I am led to believe that Uncle Sam will have no kick on what Prescott, Ark. is doing in this war. We'll, we are go ing to need all of the fellows with us If we are going to give the Germans all that is coming to them. Still, that's impossible, if the allies did all to the Germans that they have done to others, or rather if they were to start in, they would get sick and ashamed and would quit. It's abso- lutely hell to hear some of the tales of the French who have been fighting in Belgium. 1 don't wish them any bad luck, but l wish they could feel some of the heartaches that they have caused up on the front. Death isn't anything, it's the savage things that they do.
 l hear that you have a pretty fine time-keeper in the office. When first heard of it I was huffed but when got Ruth's letters saying that she wanted to do something and that she hated to teach I decided I'd better shut up. But, hate to have my wife go in to my old job and show me up.
 With best regards to Mrs. Morrison, Miss Alpha and little and big Joe, wish to be remembered by all until we get this thing over and get back to Arkansas.
 Your respectful friend,
 ALLEN A. McCURDY.

INTERESTING LETTER FROM
 SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE,

Somewhere in France March 18-'18. Dear Uncle Joe:
 There is one thing that I have been intending to do ever since I got over here and that is to write to the man that so ably runs the Ozan- Graysonia Lumber Company's Prescott Flaming mill. We'll, I'm tired tonight, I'll just put it off till Sunday or another nipht and-well you know, just never get around to that time. But, here goes.
 As you perhaps know, we arrived in France about the middle of the month of January. We moved inland from there to some large barracks that were built by Napoleon where we stayed for about week. We then came to our "seat" of operations and within a week we shipped our first carload of trench props. We erected a five thousand capacity bolter mill and we are running it 24 hours day and are cutting out more than capac- .ity, which would be 12M. We also keep large crew out in the woods hewing ties and cutting out bling. poles, trench props and wire entangle- ment stakes. We are erecting an- other mill-a Clark 20 M American made saw mill with which we hope to cut 50 M daily. We have very nice timber to work with for this country but we would consider it pretty scrub by in the Ozan woods. But the lum- Der is very good. There is something | about these trees that is noticeable, and that is that there is no pith and the percentage of No. and better is very, very large.
 Since we arrived in our present camp we have not done near so much military drilling as we used to, but we are going back to it and some of the men will train and drill daily. If it is ever our lot to be chosen to go to the front we are going to be ready though; from the attitude of the gov ernment 1 believe that they consider our unit some important. Our orders are certainly plentiful and it is a cinch that they are shipping us over here fast enough. We'll, without lum- Der it's cinch they cant fight the eGrmans for this is a war of trenches, and they have to have lumber for ! trenches.

LETTER RECEIVED
 FROM COLCATECO.
To the Fdisor.-

To the Editor:-
 The Attorney General has brought suit against Colgate & Company un- der the Sherman Law on the ground that we have asked our customers to observe a uniform retail or selling price on our products. We have car ried on this policy openly for forty years. and are surprised at this ac- tion. The Attorney General offered to withhold the prosecution if we would give up our price protection policy, but. believing that we are in no manner breaking the law. we have decided to contest the suit.
 The facts are these: We ask all our customers to sell our goods at uni form price which assures them of a fair and reasonable profit. If they prefer not to do so, we, on our part, prefer not to sell them. That is all there is to it.
 l We have no monopoly or exclusive patents. Soaps, powders and perfumes are made and sold by more than 700 manufacturers in this country alone. Competit;on is keen and active. No one is compelled to buy our products. Every dealer is at liberty to purchase wherever and from whenever he pleases. We demand no written agreement and we threaten no injury to his business if he sells below our prices. We simply refuse to accept his orders. for if he sells at cost or be- low cost to advertise his business, he injures our good will and makes our articles undesirable for other dea1ers to handle, as they wish to be assured of profit and not loss.
 Colgate goods are sold at the same prices and upon the same terms to all our customers. Dealers are thus assured of an equal and reasonable profit whether located in city or coun- try, of large means or small.
 We have been in this business for 112 years. We have at present over forty thousand direct customers in the United States, also a large export business in nearly every part of the globe. and believe that in standard izing prices for our customers, we are carrying out their wishes;. as we have salesmen. been assured that this pol icy has given the greatest satisfaction to the greatest number.
 Every manufacturer especially those who do not possess g. monopoly should have the right to control his own pro- duction. select his own customers, and refuse to du orders from those who are iniuring his business.

THE GoEBEL TRAGEDY

Eighteen years ago today the Ken lucky Legislature was convened, and before that body William GoebeI, Democrat. contested the claim of Will liam S. Taylor, Republican, to the of flee of governor. Four weeks later Goebel was shot and mortally wound ed. and Taylor and Caleb Powers, the Republican contestant for the office of secretary of state, were accused of complicity in the assassination. Taylor removed from the office of governor by the general assembly, fled to h. diana, while Powers was arrested, convicted and sentenced to prison for life. The latter has since been par doned and now represents the 11th Kentucky district in the national House of Representatives. In the winter of 1912 MT. Taylor returned to his native state, by which hs was once outlawed and took unto himself a second wife, the first Mrs. Taylor having died in 1905. Thus the ring ing of wedding bells brought to a close, for two of the principals, the political warfare that for many years convulsed the Blue Grass state.

BAKERY AUTO HIT

There was considerable trouble on the Bridgeport -Norwalk trolley line yesterday afternoon, when a Rickard auto truck, of Bridgeport, was struck by a small bakery truck near the Harris switch, in Greens Farms.

FOUNDING OF FIRST
 SCHOOL FOR BAD BOYS

In the little city of Mottray, France, there was founded eighty years ago today the first school for bad boys. A lawyer named Metz was responsible for the establishing of the reform school. He had an idea that bad boys, if given the proper environment and opportunity, might be transformed in to good boys. Before that time it was considered that when boys were bad 1t was because of original sin, and that flogging, or more brutal punish ment was the only cure. Humanitar- ians had arisen from time to time and had suggested that kind treat ment might work cure in the case of juvenile delinqency, but such theories were denounced as ungodly and ire ligious. The reform school idea found speedy acceptance in France, after the success of the Mottray Institution in dealing with supposedly incorrigibles, and quickly spread to other European nations and to the United States and Canada Today every country has it's reform schools, junior republics ju- venile courts and other machinery for dealing with youthful delinquents. Reformatory schools admit, as rule, only youths who have been guilty of crimes which, when committed by adults, are punishable by imprison- ment. The juvenile courts have since been established to bring about the reformation of youthful offenders without recourse to the reform school, and have been highly successful. In the United States Judge Ben Lindsey of Denver has taken the lead in the matter of dealing with juvenile de- 1fnquents and it is in a large measure through his efforts that children's courts have been established in many states to deal gently with youthful lawbreakers and to lead them back to the path where they may yet be made into useful citizens.
