AGED AUTO RUNS AWAY WITH
DRIVER

An auto of vintage of some years
ago, old enough to know how to be
have, and SO old that every IRON in its
body ratified cut up like young
roadster on Main street last Saturday
afternoon.
Two young men got into the car to
give it try out and set it through
its PAGES to see how much life there
was left in the old veteran All went
well until they rounded the watering
trough in the square and decided to
stop The Rip Van Wrinkle of the
auto world decided it liked to parade
up and down our busy thoroughfare
and refused to stop when the man at
the wheel threw out the clutch. Some
thing in the stiffened mechanism of
the ancient vehicle failed to work and
it ratified up on the sidewalk on the
west side of Union block Lizotte's
barber pole doomed up in front, but
quick turn of the squeaky wheel
avoided this danger and old age went
along the street until it got to Bug
bee corner. Just to help out the little
excitement the aged machine was
looking for, a trolley car came to a
stop and there was large crowd get
ting off and on When the driver
tried to loot his horn, it was tootless,
so he stood up, waved his arms, and
shouted to the people to get out of
| the way. The passengers thought
someone was dippy as they watched
the performance, but scattered oblig-
ingly rather than get run over while
old ironsides smiled at the commotion
it was causing Around and up onto
the sidewalk went the uncontrolled
until it dawned on the Khaki clad
driver to shut off the power, which
had not been thought Of in the excite
ment of the moments before.

WIFE SAYS NO MONEY.-DEAL
EK SAYS NO BEER.-THEN
A ROW

Salome Zack and Stanley FAC
made business for the city court Mon
day morning. Stanley was in the
prisoners dock charged with drunk
kenness and assault on Salome. Sa-
lone, who said she was sick and look
ed the part, was the chief witness
against her spouse.
Salome told the court that Satur-
day afternoon Stanley had been
drinking beer, but wasn't very drunk.
He wanted her to give him some
money to buy few more bottles,
when the liquor dealer called, but she
refused. Stanley then gave her a
couple of kicks and threatened to hit
her with an empty beer bottle. She
screamed and assistance came. She
had Stanley arrested.
Stanley said that he was hard
working man. Worked IA hours a
week and thought he was entitled to
a small portion of his wages. He said
his wife gave him a nickel for glass
of beer and he consumed it. He plead
not guilty to the charges and said that
Mrs. Stanley was always having him
arrested, as many as twenty times, he
said, but of course he didn't deserve
it.
The court placed the case on file,
telling Stanley if there were any
more complaints that it would be re
opened
The wife said that all she wanted
was for her husband to stop drinking,
as he was good man when he let
beer alone

 Secretary McAdoo

Cessation of war will result in a reduction of government expenses for the fiscal year 1920, starting next July l to $7, ,443, ,415,83 from the $24,- 599, ,000,000 appropriated for the current year, according to tentative estimates submitted to Congress by Secretary Me Adoo transmitting the reports of the various departments.

EXPRESSES OPINION
 ON NEW CONSTITUTION
Mir. Rutherford Says New Constitution is Great Inn
 provement Over Old


 On December IA, a special election will be held for the purpose of voting upon the New Constitution.
 An effort has been made to get a copy in the hands of ev- cry voter. It will be remem- bered that when the question came before the convention, 1 voted to postpone the conven- tion until next year. 1 thought that with the country engaged in war, the people would not give that careful considera- tion that new Constitution of the State deserved. However, the convention voted to co IT, plete the Constitution and suo- init same to the voters this year.
 The old Constitution has serv- ed the state long and we'll. It was a strong instrument and we all revere it and the mem ory of those men who gave it to the state Judge Butler and my father were the delegates to that Convention from this county and l have often felt that my election was due to the fact that my father had a part in this great work.
 During those A years the State has made wonderful progress and her population has greatly increased and for a number of years there has been a growing opinion that the Constitution should be re- vised so as to meet the chang ed conditions. and to let the moral and material upbuilding of the state go on unhamDer- ed.
 hold to that opinion. l believe that some moderate changes and new provisions were needed, and that those changes are found in the new Constitution to be submitted. There were wide differences of opinion among the members of the orvention, as will al- ways be found in a delibera- tive body of IA men, and some provisions must neces- sarily be in the nature of a comprC mise. But compromis- es are most often the result of the best judgment of men.
 l have great faith in the flu ture of our state. She is but a little more than in her infancy in many respects, but her fu- ture depends entirely on the moral and intellectual advance ment of her people.
 The adoption of the new Constitution will forever make secure the question of prohi- bition and will do much to en- couarge education-and edu- cation is the "bulwark of our Liberty" yet Arkansas stands 42nd among the states in edu- cational matters.
 l trust that each voter will give the matter careful consid- eration. A matter of such inn portance should have very careful consideration. I hope to see the new Constitution adopted. I knoW that it is. a great improvement over the
The Newark journal., 1918-12-05

The Journal has received the following letter from Dr. ;. A. Drennen, Captain Medi- cal Reserve Corps, written on November II, immediately following the cessation of hos tilities.
 France, Nov. II, 1918.
 Dear friend.-Perhaps it will interest your readers to know the feeling which exists III this country of France to- night, November II, 1918, a date ever to be remembered.
 We were on our way to an evacuation hospital, near the front, for q load of wounded, having learned earlier, from an unofficial report, that the end had come.
 We had just reached a stretch of road operated by the Americans where one hears the clang of bells and the deep throated whistle of the engines which IS music to the ears of an American.
 While lying in the yards awaiting the change of en- zines, such a noise broke loose almost -deafening-coming from the American and French engines, the firing of guns and shouting of soldiers.
 A combination of Christmas, New Year and the Fourth of July in the States is a t, me affair compared to this.
 The French embraced each other, throwing their hats in the air and shouting Vive la Franee-Vive LAmerique.
 It was a feeling indescrib- able to look upon those poor French people, who for four long years endured untold hardships and suffering, and know that the end was reach ed at last.
 But alas, there is another picture that is the homecom- ing of these men, the saddest of all. In the Northern part of this country there will be no homes. only remains and ruins, and the remnant of families to greet them. Some will have no families to greet, no homes to welcome them. To quote the remark of Gen. eral Foch, who lost his only son, After four years 1 shall return 10 my home to look in- to the faces of little ones who will never know the love f a father"
 There are only a few in America who realize or under stand these conditions and those eare the grand old vet erans of the South who so nobly defended a cause thought to be right.
 Tis a grand and glorious victory whose outer garments are of joy and gladness but whose inner garments are sor- row and sadness.
 We are now on our way to q base port with load of wounded boys. Thank God there will be only a few more.
 Your friend,
 SHEROD A. DRENNEN.
