1t is these three Partisan
modistes who know so well the
art of creating distinctive
chapeauX for the women who
wear black and mourning. 1t
is from them that this newest
case of black hats has come
hats that are the last word in
millinery, and the last word in
mourning fashions.
There are toques and bon
nets and small hats-each per-
feet in its way.
Hats of beautiful silks, of
fine faille silks, of heavy cord
ed Bengalines and of soft, lus-
trous silks, not, however, too
lustrous for mourning. There
are hats of uncut velvet, too.
Newest of all are the hats of
wool and of camel's hair-soft,
shaggy black stuffs that drape
and make smart hats.
They are trimmed with
novel feathers, with jet beads,
with bows and with ostrich.
And they are exclusive in de-
sign and unlike anything you
will e elsewhere.
With them are the newest
wells of plain crepe and gren-
adine, and mourning neck
pieces of m~arabou and ostrich.

He Who Will Learn of None
But Himself Hath a Fool
for a Master

is a proverb which may be as timely now as it was
years ago when it first appeared. The schoolmasters
who helped us most were not those who simply
heard our lessons" but those who kindly asked us
to think and understand the things that at the first
we repeated almost as if we were parrots.
Business or pleasure is not to be found in killing
flies. We must go to school as long as we live and
make time and save it up for study.
Napoleon made maps of battlefelds when a
schoolboy and used common pins stuck on the papers
for soldiers and their positions in the field, and when
he came to power never retained a lazy, negligent or
ignorant General.
In this big warship time we must do war work
and Liberty Bond work; and if this big merchandise
institution of yours and ours is not better some
where today than it was yesterday, it is somebody's
fault. And as for the stocks of merchandise each
day must bring in a train of carloads that only a
locomotive can pull.

The Longest War.

From the Saturday Evenin Post.
Instead of that short war which neatly
everybody predicted at the beginning or
August, 1914. we have the longest big
war OF modern times. From Lexington
to Yorktown was six and a half years,
but there were long intervals Of in4ctiv-
ity, and all the revolutionary fighting
would be only q skirmish nowadays. From
Fort Sumter to Appomattox was a little
less n four years. and 1t reduced one
Of the belligerents to virtual exhau stion.
The seven years. war contained only four
years n two months Of real. fighting.
After the battle OF Torgau both sides
were 80 nearly worn out that they could
do little more han make gestures a. each
other until they signed an armistice the
second year following.

FuTRAII FILES REPORT
 OF UNIVERSITY AFFAIRS

Fafetteville. May 29.-The total en- rollment of the University of Arkan- sas, including regular session, sum- mer session and special courses. during the college year 1917-18 was 1920, according to the annual report of President J. c. Futrall, which has just been filed with the board of trustees. The report shows that the university enrolled in the regular nine months session this year STA students, as against 7S9 for the pre- vious year. There was an increase of four in the number of women stu dents. the falling off being entirely among the men students in the high CT classes who have entered military service.
 The report shows that new courses especially suited to war conditions have been offered in number of departments. The most popular of these courses is typewriting, stenog- raphy and accounting, which enrolled more than 150 students.
 The report calls attention to the fire which last summer destroyed the heating plant and brings out the fact that in spite of the cost of fuel. which is now nearly three times what it was a few years ago, i'm provements in the heating plant have made it possible to heat the Univer- sity at a less cost than in former years.
 Attention is also called to the rap i'd growth of the extension service in agriculture and home economies This service may be said to have begun. on the patr of the university about five years ago. Its growth has been so phenomiHal that at the pres ent time 1t covers every county In the state and employs 221 persons,

Because of this likelihood it is fear ed by the planters that the bottom may fall out of the cotton market unless an equitable price is set by the government and they believe that the only fair manner in which a fixed price could be approached was by determining the actual cost of production.
 The problem of surplus production has been working a serious handicap on the financing of the growers, ac- cording to statements brought out by various speakers at the meeting. for the reason that the banks were unable to determine upon what basis the loans against growing crops should be made. If by showing the actual cost of production a fixed price commensurate with the cost in- volved can be secured, the problem of finance will be eliminated to a large degree, for the bankers will then be in a position to determine a permissible advance against the growing crop.
