present expectations are realized they
 will tend to check high prices and profiteering; for while the food ad-
 ministration has accomplished Wond-
 CTS in the latter direction, the law of supply and demand cannot be ig- nored, and the task of regulating
 prices will be much easier under abundance than under scarcity. In all industries pertaining to the war there is intense activity, and effort is being steadily shifted from the un- necessary to the necessary products. One source of uncertainty has been removed, and that is labor which is displaying a high degree of patriot ism and steadily increasing it's out put; thus ofsettihg to some extent the losses through drafting into the army. British labor has doubled it's output since the war began by means of intense effore and better meth ods. Such an increase of product here, however, is hardly to be expect ed. for the reason that American la bor has long been regarded as more efficient than British and less in
 cined to unfair restrictions. Our in
 dustries are still moving in the direct ion of more absolute government con trol. The steel industry will prob ably be entirely regulated at Wash ington within a very short time; and now the textile manufacturers are looking in the same direction, prefer ring the uniformity of government control to the confusion and uncer- tainties of part government and part private control, with at the same time widely fluctuating margins of profit and labor problems to contend against. In all industrial affairs the prospects are for stricter government direction of both production and dis trbution during the war. Such eff forts were at first restricted to the supplies of raw matreial, but are now being directed to note few seml- manufactured products. Whether government intervention will extend into retail distribution cannot be fore told.

N. E. A. MEMBERS VISIT CITY.

Nearly 15O members of the Nation al Editorial association, representing 24 states, spent several hours in Pine Bluff yesterday, while on tour ot Arkansas.
 Pine Bluff did not attempt ela- borate entertainment-first, because it was the wish of the editors that there be no costly programs, and sec ond, because the tourists did not re- main here sufficiently long to be ac- corded all the courtesies and at tention Pine Bluff would like to have shown them.
 The tcur is being made more for the purpose of obtaining first-hano information of Arkansas than of feasting, and the editors expressed themselves as being surprised at the evidences progress, the wealth ano the resources brought to their at tention.
 Pine Bluff was glad of the oppor tunity to entertain the members c1 the National Editorial association and hopes that they will retain as pleasant memories of Pine Bluff, as Pine Bluff retains of them.

WORK FRS 100 PER CENT
 PATRIOTS.
w. s. s

The action of the telegraphers in notifying the president that they will not strike, even tho the Western Union company has refused to sub- init the differences to arbitration IS gratifying. It is just what was ex- pected by many of us familiar with sentiment among the wage earners and salaried men-organized and un- organized. Ninety-nine per cent of the workers are now alert to German intrigue, and they are not going to be led to anything that will put them in the attitude of being disloyal. It is that way in Pine Bluff, and the same situation exists everywhere, ex- cept, perhaps, in some isolated com munities where the Germans have made unusual progress. If there is a strike of any large body of men, it will have to be provoked by the en- ployers. The government should be able to handle any corporation or al liance of employers which attempts to deliberately provoke it's employees in- to quitting work Labor is coming thru" just as was expected. The few would-be leaders who would induce labor to place itseL in false po- sition have been spotted, and they are rapidly being repudiated by the 100 per cent patriot in the ranks.

 Generally speaking, the New Eng land states have made rather poor showings, strange as it may seem.
 As group, the West is outstrip- ping all other parts of the country. Of the first ten states on the list, eight are of the West as follows: Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, Oregon, Montana, Washington, Iowa and Colorado. Outside the District of Columbia, the first Eastern state on t''c list. is Delaware, which ranks fifteenth, New York is thir:icth, .Ea,tern Pennsylvania twenty-hrst, a'1 Western Pennsylvania thirty 'lr,,,. Among the surprises is Mich itaa, which ranks forty-seventh in a ,'t cf iifty-one states or parts ..,'..e"cef.
 The thrift stamp represents u:,;u,,c type of thrift. The sales are to great extent made to children and De.sols of moderate means. Be- cause of its special appeal to the ir,- experienced saver it has great edu- cational value. There should be the sl,a pest rivalry between the various stat.s ifl this matter. not only because of fi1e help such conditions will yield to -l," government but because of .e uniting influence these s',7ail sAv- i..ss will have on the citizens.

SALTS FINE FOR
 ACHING KIDNEYS
We eat too much meat which clogs Kidneys, then the Back
 hurts

Most folks forget that the kidneys. like the bowels, get sluggish and clog ged and need flushing occasionally. else we have backache and dull mis- cry in the kidney region, severe head aches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liv- CT, acid stomach. sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder disorders.
 You simply must keep your kidneys active and clean, and the moment tyou feel an ache or pain ir the kidney region, get about four ounces of lad Salts from amy good dug store here, take g tablespoonful if glass of wa teh before breakfasHfor a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts fs made from the acid of grapes an3 lemon juice. com bined with lithia and is harmless to flush cloggedNdneys and stimulate them to normal Activity. It also neu- tnalizes the acids in the urine so 1t no longer irritates, thus ending blad- der disorders.
 lad Salts is harmless; inexpensive; makes a delightful effervcscent llth- ia-water drink when everybody should take now and then to keep their kidneys clean thus avoiding ser ious complaction. <.
 A well-known local druggist says he sells lots of lad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble. (tAdV.
