 BOYS INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL

Little Rock, Aug. 31.-Representa- tives of the Boys Industrial School asked the governor for deficiency proclamation for SIP, 300 to carry on the work of the institution. After a consultation with the state comp troller, w. T.

men and a government of, by, and for the people.
 Our 1918 Labor Day celebration will feature this difference between the two systems of government which are now struggling for mastery. The thought behind these systems is older than any nation. In truth, nations are but an incident, but process, in this struggle of human liberty and advancement versus the ancient the ory of government so well illustrated by German Junkerdom.
 Organized labor is not a peace move ment. While we long for the day of industrial concord, when disputes be- tween capitalists and laborers will no longer feature our industrial life, We refuse to paralyze our movement by surrendering the right to strike against wrong when other methods fail
 In larger sense this theory is ap- plicable to our government when it calls for unity against an extension of those principles of autocracy which menace the majorty-rule theory upon which our nation rests.

A bloated, boastful looking man sat at

book. He was engaged in the highly use
full profession of book making.
His bullying eyes caught sight Of a
wrist watch on the arm of a young man

"Humph! Pretty Sammy and his

what that wrist watch sammy'n do when
they send him over the top. Poor boy!"
People around him burned at the in
suit to the uniform. The lady with the
khaki-clad Sammy rose and went to the
check stand. She returned with a pair
of clutches. The Sammy's right leg was
off at the knee.
Thrilling to the effectiveness of the re-

thrilling with deeper something that
brought the tears, every man and woman

No Likelihood of
Too Many Potatoes

6THE surplus of Irish potatoes
= from last years crop is not
due to lack of demand, but lack of
transportation facilities. Large guam
titles Of northern potatoes ready for
the market could not be shipped dur
ing the winter, but they are now NOV
ing, as the railroad men say, and this
popular food crop will be eagerly
sought by all classes from now until
the next fall crop is on the market.
The government is urging that people
eat potatoes instead of wheat bread.
It would be well if all days were
wheatless days in this country SO that
our wheat might be shipped to the
allies.
The "carry over" potato crop may
cause a temporary slump in the mar
kct, but it should not deter farmers
from increasing their production this
year. Railroad facilities will be am
pie, it is thought, to handle all food
crops with dispatch in the fall. That

College Fund Is
Nearing the Goal

ID BIRMINGHAM college and the
W Southern university will be
consolidated here, and a great insti-
tuition of learning, with chronological
branches well in the foreground, will
grace Owenton hill, already one of
the show places of this city.
The fund of $150,Oo0 to be raised
by the home college as a condition of
the merger, is now within about
s35, 900 of the total. Several liberal
subscriptions were made yesterday
unsolicited. The active campaign in
progress last week and the week be-
fore has been discontinued, but an in
formal canvass will be made until
every dollar is pledged.
The college campaign has not in
terfered in any way with the Third
Liberty Loan, for all the money con-
tributed recently to the consolidation
cause will be invested in Liberty
Bonds.

Make Good the
Liberty Pledges

I'm this final week of the Third
q Liberty Loan campaign the COM
mittees are urging that those who
have signed the pledge cards make
them good without delay. Any
pledges unredeemed by next Saturday
will be worthless.
Attention is called especially to the
pledges solicited and accepted by the
women canvassers and the Boy
Scouts. Many of these, here and else
where throughout the country, remain
to be converted into money.
There should be general checking
up of the cards today and tomorrow
and everyone who has not paid should
pay without further urging. Surely
no one who has subscribed to Third
Liberty Loan Bond will render him
self liable to be classed as Stacker.
In the meanwhile the canvassing
for the Liberty Loan will continue to
the end of the week with undated
zeal, Birmingham has gone far over
the top and there is hope that the
ten million-dollar mark will be
reached, if not exceeded.

Brand Whitlock Tells
What Belgium Suffered

lORAND WHITLOCK, who lived
" through some trying days in
Brussels, when the gray-clad hordes
of the Kaiser descended on Belgium,
leaving ruin and desolation in their
path, is contributing a series of ar
ticles to Everybody's which every
American should read.
AS our minister to Belgium, Mr..
Whitlock was In a position to get
first-hand information regarding Ger
man atrocities. He performed serv-
ice which should never be forgotten.
He saw much with his own eyes and
heard more, which he did not accept
without convincing proof being of
fered.
Mr.. Whitlock's recital of the hor-
rors endured by the civilian popula-
ton of Belgium is a substantiation Of
many reports which had already been
received in America, but were hard
to believe. He leaves out of his mar
rative every charge that he does not
know to be true, since he might well
be accused Of exaggeration if he told
all that was related to him by men
and women who were subjected to
the Huns diabolic cruelty. Mr.. Ger
ards revelations concerning Germany
are authoritative and in equal meas
ure Mr.. Whitlock's story of the reign
Of terror in Belgium cannot be con-
troverted. At the very time when
Mr.. Whitlock was laboring to anne
iorate suffering and maintain Amer
lean neutrality his soul was sickened
by deeds which have since created
hatred for Germany's soldiery that is
worldwide.
No one can read the Whitlock story
of German atrocities without realiz-
ing that the safety of the world de-
ponds on the defeat of German mill
tarism. If his blood boils at the
wrongs inflicted on Belgium, let him
remember that if we don't win this
war, along with our allies, our turn
will come next

WAITING FOR THE MAY

All. My heart is weary waiting.
Waiting for the May
Waiting Tor the pleasant rambles
Where the frag grant hawthorn brambles
with the woodbine alternating.
Scent the dewy way,
All. my heart is weary waiting.
Waiting for the May
All my heart is sick with longing
Longing for the May
Longing to escape from study
To the young face fair and ruddy
And the. thousand charms belonging
To the summers day;
All! my heart is sore with longing
Longing for the day.
All! my heart is sore with signing,
Signing for the May
Signing for their sure returning
When the summer beams are burning
Hopes and flowers that. dead or dying,
All the winter lay;
All! my heart is sore with signing.
Signing for the May
All! my heart is panied with throbbings
Throbbing for the seaside pillows
Or the water-wooing Willows.
Where, in laughter and in sohbing.
Glide the streams away;
All, my heart my heart is throbbinx,
Throbbing for the May.

there will be demand for all that
can be produced goes without saying,
for this country must not only feed
itself but must, in large part, feed
the allies.
AS to the south, the United States
department of agriculture has given
this section good advice when it points
out the advisability of harvesting the
potato crop as late as possible and
of storing as much of it as possible
so as not to glut the northern market.
The old way has been to hurry south
ern potatoes north early in the sum-
mer, but present conditions call for
different policy.
What the government stresses at
the present time is the call for a
larger consumption of potatoes and
minimum consumption of wheat.

Absent without Leave

Patriotism may be shown in many
ways, and the efforts of those who are
patriotic may be counteracted in many
more,' stated Hardie Brown.
''While the military police and the
Birmingham police are doing their part
in trying to get knowledge of the men
absent from camp without leave and de-
serters, many who are claiming to be
true, patriotic citizens are completely
multiplying their efforts by shielding these
men.
This has been particularly noticeable
of late In order mat the military dis
ciplne of the army, which is a prereq-
uisite essential of success, may be
maintained, the men in the army must
be taught this discipline, and must be
made to observe it. OF course, they are
your boys, and our boys but we should
not discourage them in the act of per-
forming their duties, however much we
want to see them. Keep your eyes, ears
and mind open, and if you hear of a de-
serter, Stacker or man absent without
leave, report it Immediately to police
headquarters. This is one form of patri-
otism."
