Wye, Arkansas, it will be seen by reference to our want column ads is one of the live wire communities of the county The P. O. is right in one corner of Perry counay and nearly three-fourths of it's territory is in that county. Dr. F. w. Lamden, one of the most prominent physicians of Chi cago has q small place there which is his hobby and he is making a fruit and cattle farm of it. Jno. Swanson, an experienced farmer and orchard man, is in charge of it. There is 160 acres of land, twenty in cultivation. six of which is in apples and peaches just commencing to bear. There is a cottage, barn and very fine potato and fruit house and cellar on the place and he will soon put up a silo. MT. Swanson also owns a nice fruit farm and has lived here six years, having married since coming here. He en-. joys the confidence of his neighbors and is making an excellent showing, both on his own and the doctors place.

THE OLD PERRYvlLLE ROAD.

THE OLD PERRYViLLE ROAD.
 You go through Forest Park if you travel over this road It is also call ed the Tt. Smith road, but l believe the real name is the old Military Road When you leave the park it enters the woods along the top of a mountain ridge with the Arkansas River valley to your right You will enjoy the scent of the piney woods and if you go now you will think the beautiful green of the pines restful to your eyes after so much winter. At points along this road you will get views of distant mountains. You will cross the Little Maumelle Kennerly, Nowlin and the Big Maumelle. Then youtwill cross Barrington's Branch and Bringle Creek before you reach the Perry county line Your road will run near Pinnacle mountain.
 If you wish to climb it there is a gradual incline from this road to near the top. You will find a couple of walls of rock running perfectly
  tween with large rock. All it lacks of being a boulevard with rock curbs is surfacing and cutting out the brush. A little further on you may notice a place to turn out to your right to a fine spring Below the top on the far side of the mountain is a cave From Pinnacles top you get views of the river and beyond the famous Little Maumelle lakes and mountains in all directions to the north and west.
 Farther on you will come to a bridge across Little Maumelle, just before you get to the bridge if you will notice to your right you will see a camping place at one of the most famous swimming places in Pulaski county
 To your left is Shinault and Bear Den Mountains. The next road turn ing te your left is the iferndaie pike. It is in excellent shape and you can return by it over the Mt. Ida road to Twelfth street. On this road is the noted Prothro Camp Ground, beauti- fully situated on the Little Maumelle, which stream, you cross several fimes. Your next creek is Kennerly, then Nowlin After this you come to North Point P. O., near Goodson and Blue Mountains. Also there are branch roads to the right from this to Little Maumelle, Pinnacle, Natural Steps and Roland.

I spent Sunday night with Esquire A McNeeley. He lives on the bank of the Big Maumelle. There is ford at his house under the bluff to the right of the road is a spring and across the river he has a long foot log chained to trees so it cannot wash away The bed of the stream is wide here and strewn with large rocks. 1t is shallow and the stream is always roading He asked me to suggest a name for his farm and if he liked it he would accept it and have letter. heads and envelopes printed. I think the idea is good so I have suggested for a name Big Maumelle Spring Bluff Farm" The name is most too long, but it describes the place.

 Wye is very healthy place, free of mosquitoes and malaria and has the very finest peach and apple or chards in the state of Arkansas. Lit l tie Rock should see to it that this road is completed at once so that the thousands of dollars worth of fruit and vegetables, which rot on the ground there every year can be brought here and sold, or else so that the citizens of Little Rock can go up there and buy it, together with the cheap eggs, butter and other pro- 1 duce that can be bought there direct of the producers. Land is cheap and there is room here for more small farms. This mountain plateau runs from here to the Arkansas river, where the east end terminates in bluffs overlooking the Arkansas river At the foot and under this bluff is the main line of the Rock Island Railway
 1 laid up at Wye for some ten days and when Sunday came I had nothing to write for the Pulaskian so I started to rambling in order to find some thing to write this week. As I started 1 could see the mountain tops beyond the Big Maumelle in one direction, while to the north were the noun tains of Perry county At once I plunged into the woods They were carpeted with thin brown grass in great abundance Under the hickory trees and on them was great abund- ance of nuts, but there is no timber to speak of for it is cut over land and at places it has the appearance of prairie. The southern slopes of the | had there thawed the snow, but the northern slopes were covered with snow.
 About 12 o'clock arrived at Bud Daniels. He stated he had lived here fifty-eight years and that this is the worst winter he ever experienced. Just now everything looks like spring. All the little branches are rippling down the rills to the headwaters of Bringle and Harrington creeks, while | further down near it's mouth Bringle Is nearly to the foot log and it's wa ters are as clear as the air, the Big Maumelle roars like river and the farmers are getting their blows ready

 on the Big Maumelle. It is a dim road, but 1t leads to a favorite camp ing place for hunters, amongst the noblest trees of Pulaski county.
 From here on the road for about mile and a half runs along the edge of the Big Maumelle and somewheres off to your right on the south bank of this stream is the biggest holly grove ] ever saw, the scene of my Christ mas story. You cross the river on an old-fashioned covered bridge and a mile further on you come to Cross Roads, where you cross the Roland and Maumelle road. Three miles from here you reach the Perry coun- ty line and Wye. To the left is the Maumelle country, where are located many of the things l have been writ ing about duing the past year.
 From Cross Roads to Wye the road is only wagon trail, but Pulaski county has surveyed and staked out a good road to the Perry county line and has decided to build good road here. There is a jog of two miles to the north here along the county line, and the two counties will unite in building these two miles. This road was located to this point understand by Perry county, or more particularly by the Town of Bigelow, which has organized a road district to build it and will build regardless of what Pu- laski does, so our county is compell- ed to meet it by building a gap of about two miles. You cross Barring ton branch and Bringle creek as you go up the mountains here. One of these mountains is called the Step mountain. Now I am going to Wye and write back towards Cross Roads.
 First I will tell you
 A DEEP, DARK SECRET.
 When I left Siloam Springs I had boxed up and stored there a few per sonal effects which I wished to keep. I needed them to refer to occasionally and I have been picking up lot of rocks and minerals which I wished to preserve and I wanted a place where I could retire to occasionally to write and rest. Having mentioned this fact ]. to friend at Wye he said at once if I would let him he would build a small bungalow for me right on top of

It comes from too deep down for that. It Is something which, for the time, banishes all the longing and lonesomeness.
 And you see there are so many thousands of him, so many tens Of thousands, who have never been away from Spruceville before. Tn this great benumbing war business 1t Is bridging the step for him with human kindness and kinship and love. It is making it easier for him. oh, vastly easier, to take hold of himself for the big, long, unseen step that is still to come.
 Moreover, we've only told part of 1t. There are some things which, in a story that even begins With 8 laugh, cant be told at all. There's this. for choice. One letter to that Home Folks Column came from a boy who was i'll, very i'll. in a San Antonio hospital The letter was written by his nurse. He, too, wanted some one from SpruceVille. And very soon that spruceville per son came-came and stayed and talked Spruceyille with him for mos of the night. It was good medi- cine-the very best there was-may be the only kind, indeed, that could have served. And a few weeks later the Home Folks Editor receiv- ed a second letter from certain far-away Spruceville mother which said things-prayer-and-thankSgiv ing things-about his column that kept him from reading the rest Of his mail for long enough. and made him want to start other Home Folk Columns in every San Antonio We have
 Which surely might well. and very readily. be done. There is going to be a place and work for them for months, probably for years to come. And every city or town with camps around it is a San Antonio. If you are an editor, San Antonio editor, open your HHome Folks Column right now.

ALSACE LORRAINE STICKS ID
 FRANCE

French Frout,-ABy maiD - In nearly eveyr newspaper printed in Germany at the present moment there is presented some kind Of a scheme for the solution of the ques- tion of Alsace-Lorraine. What the Germans cannot understand is the fact virtually every real Alsation and Lorraine rejects in tOtality anY scheme for joining his native land either to the German empire or any of it's component federal states.
 The latest method of disposing of the two provinces discussed in the German imperial parliament propos- es their division between Prussia and Bavaria, Lorraine to be taken by the former and AlsaCe by the lat ter. This proposition not only is rejected by the inhabitants of the provinces themselves, but has a reused protests from everal of the German states and especially from Wuertemberg. Consequently for the time being it has been allowed to drop in favor of two other schemes, both unsatisfactory to some of the German parties.
 The first of them looks to the formation of an independent state of Alsace-Lorraiue under the rule of a duke, while the second formu- lates the foundation of a republic of Alsace-Lorraine attached to the Ger man empire. Both of them have been widely discussed, but with out bringing about any conclusion. and should either of them be ac- cepted by the Germans, it is be- lieved the people of the two pro yinces would have nothing to do with it.
 As the correspondent of the Asso- ciated Press has found in discussing the matter with Alsatians and LOT raines of all classes, the only de- sire of these people is to be reunit- ed to France, with which they have remained, in spite of the German an nexation, closely allied in their ideas and in all their souls. They recall frequently in the course of their conversations the words uttered bI President Wilson:
 "The wrong caused by Prussia to France in 1871 must be redressed in order that peace may be established in the interest of all"

SPRUCEVmLES FOR SOLDIER
 BOYS

After au." said Aunt Marthy, when she had finished with the Louvre and the Tomb of Napoleon, there isn't any place like Spruce vile"
 And there isn't, whether the SpruceyiIle De New York or smiths Corners. Chicago or SlabtowR-On- the-Pike.
 Down in Texas the editor of san Antonio daily has remembered that. And in a program of pure, iuspirattoual joy he Is bringing all the local soldier boys and their par ticuIar Sprucevilles together.
 In this way. Since the boys cant go back to Spruceville-in fact they cant go any further from the ueigbboriug camps than san AntOn'o he is just bringing Spruceville to them by means Of a Home Folks Column"
 And nothing could be easier. The truth is tht almost all the Texas SpruceviIles are in San Antonio al ready. Or. to be more accurate, they are represented by leading citi- zens or by humber people who left those hometown Sprucevilles 10 or 20 or 30 years ago. when they were boys or girls. For them also-tho' they maynt often venture to say so right out loud-there isn't any place like Spruceville - that is, their own Sprucevine. And the cditorr of that Home Folk Column is aftording them the chance, and the soldier boys the chance to send in their present San Antonio or camp addresses. to meet up" each Spruceviliau with his fellows of like honor in their birth. and then to have evening after. right there in San Antonio. filled with good. rich. satisfying Spruceville talk.
 For the soldier boy, though, it means much mere than talk. For him t means inyitations to eat home coOking-pie and turkey with chestnuts, cheese-cake. and float ing islaud-of all the kind you can learn to make only by being born in SprucevilIe. And, once he is 'n touch with one good hOmefOlks fam* 'y, he Is simply passed along to the next and the next and the next until in the end there are at least six waiting to make him eat and help him talk SpruCeyille On every liO- erty day he has.
 There is one san Antonio Aunt lTarthy, with a huge house and no family, who when she had had the the pleasure of feeding her first home boy in years, simply told him, next time, to bring every other one there was. For of course-though something may have to remind you of 1t and make you realize 1t anew just as there is no place like Sprucevile, so there are no people or soldier boys, like the ones who come from there.
 Now Aunt Marthy's house is open every Sunday. And when she is able to form at least some approxi- mate idea of how many she is going to "sit down" that day she lets them swing in with her and help get din best you can get in San An tonio!-aud then, when they've eat en it, help clear away.
 Funny? We'll, you can write fun about it. But it isn't really funny.

Will there be a commercial war
after the war?
Inquiry in Washington brings a
negative answer in the sense com
merciaI war has heretofore been
known. the statement is made.
There cannot fail to be intense in
ternational commercial activity, it Is
declared.
Two factors stand out prominently
at the close of the world Conflict OF
arms as bearing upon the postwar
trade situatiOn-namely, the close
cOmradeship and better understanding
among the nations allied against the
central powers and the belief Of the
world that Germany cannot be trusted.

Therefore, it is argued. the press

to a less degree, those OF thesneutral

that during the balance Of their lives
they would buy nothing that was
made in Germany or have anything

was a voluntary one, without official

widespread support
II such a deep-seated resentment
against Germany is held in the United

The unmasking OF Germany's COM
