|nofman." But his pal has evolv- ed what he considers a better one: Do not write and fear no woman"
 A business man from Pine Bluff visitedCamp Pike she oth- CT day for the first time and he made the complete rounds. He saw the many ''Y" buildings crowded with menwriting letters reading or sending home parcel post bundles; he attended the evening programs at several buildings; he visited the Hostess House and the Red Cross Rest Room, and inspected the new Red Cross building for convales- cents; visited the library and the base hospital. As he shook hands with the guide who had accom- panied him over the camp he said, Every citizen of the coun- try ought to visit some Army camp and see where our money is going. It will make them bet ter citizens, prouder of their sons, and more satisfied with the conditions under which the latter are living. This has been a most wonderful day for me; a real revelation.
 Civilians who desire to secure entrance into the Officers Train ing School which will open at Camp Pike August 18th will be required to do sothrough the medium of the following colleges | if they are residents of Arkan- sas: University of Arkansas, Fayetteville; Henderson Brown College, Philadelphia; and Qua chita College, Philadelphia.
 Restaurants and shows com plain that the new arrivals at Camp Pike are not the free spenders that the old men had proved to be. It is very likely that each succeeding draft will prove still better money savers. The soldiers are realizing the ne- cesity of having a "nest egg" when they come out of the army, and more men are coming to the camp who have dependents at home, where every cent will be needed. The younger the men the more inclined they are to have a good time and to spend every cent they receive.

POTATO PRICES Low.
Big Stock Held from Last Fall in North
and West the Cause.

j. l.. Burnett was in Nashville last
week in an effort to find market for
potatoes, but met with very little sue
cess because of the market being
flooded with northern potatoes. No
one would venture to name price as
there appeared to be such flood of
them offered by the northern and
westren growers that no one could
forecast the market with any degree
of certainty.
! Mr.. Burnett did succeed however,
in making such arrangem ents with
one dealer as promises a sale of
a few cars within short time, but he
IS not sure of that and until the actual
orders come and the price is agreed
to the public. 1t Is feared that the
prce will go to 80 cents or less here.
Last fall the editor of the Chronicle
was asked as to his judgement relative
to selling potatoes as against holding
them tor the spring market. To all
such inquiries we invariably stated that
we were not advising any one to hold
or to sell, but did call attention that
the crop was one hundred million bu-
shells above normal and we stated that
If some wise person would tell what
was to be done with that one hundred
million bushels we would then be able
to form good estimate as 20 the ad-
visibility of holding or selling. We
sold every potato we had that we could
spare last fall-so far as they would
go on the arket-and put the remain
der on the market some weeks ago
because we fully expected big slump
in the market when spring came.
The writer la no prophet, but we do
try to keep an eye On the production
actual and relative tor we realize that
to torn reasonable estimate of fu-
ture prices. The worst trouble with
many farmers Is that they allow their
desires and the prices of the recent
past to influence them to an unrea-
sonable degree and in many ins tances
lose thereby. Because potatoes are
low now is no reason why they should be
next tail, rather to the contrary. The
crop is one that does not keep like
grain and, must be used within a linn
ted time or 1t is sure to waste. 1t
Loo fn at bn ~,
farmers of this section that. all things
,onsid cred, the fall IS the best time to
ell potatoes grown in this section for
~ so doing we avoid that destructive
OF the west and north that
las destroy ed our market this spring.

CHEERFULLY ACCEPTS RESULT
Judge Burnett Harbors No Bitterness
Toward Any One.

! Editor Chronicle Permit me, through
your paper, to say few words con.
cering Saturdays primary.
The result was decisive in favor of
my opponent | cheerfully abide the
verdict. A force of circumstances
made defeat inevitable.
Taxes are higher this year than they
have been heretofore, due to the bond
issues of the county. The primary
came at a time when these taxes were
being collected and l was made to bear
the entire blame of the bond Issue and
high taxes.
This, perhaps, was the controlling
factor that contributed to my defeat.
1t my OPPONENT can manage to reduce
our taxes and at the same time pay the
indebtedness OF the county, there can
be no que stlon but that the voters
have decided wisely. shall lend
every assistance possible to those in
charge of the affairs of the county to

payers.

or criticism but deep feeling of ad-
mlration,
To those who opposed me for lew

pity your condltion and hope for the
day to speedily come when men will go

WOMEN SET VOTING PACE
Men 0utvoted Nearly One Hundred Per-
Cent Agreeable to Registration

The special elections recently held in
four Congressional districts in New
York changed nothing from the pre-
vious polltlal standing of those consti-
tuencies but they did produce some
facts of more than passing Importance,
the women, voting for the first time,
brought to the polls about ninety per.
cent OF their registered strength,
whereas the men-to whom perhaps
voting has been an old story-brought
out only about half that percentage of
their number.
Ibis indicates that the men will have
to be on tlptoe in future elections if
they are OF MAINTAIN themselves as a
real factor in elections.
Another fact, of even more lmpor.
tance, was the heavy vote cast by the
Socialist party, which in one of the
districts was in excess of that re-
ceived by the Republican candidate.
There Is no denying that the growth
OF socialistic opinion is one of the most
features of political devel.
opment to-day-and to combat 1t will
require close and careful educational
work. This work will not be aided if
the tendency OF legislation is to con-
tinue in the direction Of state socialism
as strongly as in the past.

Effective shells.

Controversy has long ragged regard
ing the actual man-kiiiing power Of the
big guns. It has been declared that
$4,000 worth Of big shells must be
fred to kill one of the enemy. Per-
haps 1t is true that an enormous
amount of steel must be hurled by the
big guns to insure fatalities. Yet the
actual number OF men killed on all

"OUR DEATH GRAPPLE"
That Is the Way George N. TiIIman
Views This World War.

The following from George N. Till
man, published in a recent issue of the
Tennessean and American, puts the
war situation before the public in a
very clear and concise manner.
Whether or not one agrees fully
with Mr.. Tilman, his statement should
be taken seriously to heart and IN the
main accepted as proper interpreta-
tion of the situation. His letter fol-
lows:
We are in for long war. in my opin-
ION for two or three years. We must
keep a grim resolution to see 1t
through. 1t is death grapple.
There is no discharge until one eide
or the other goes down in defeat
The press of the country should es-
chew the word peace. There is no
peace in sight unless 1t be a peace
dlsgraceful to the United states, and
one that will breed new wars in the
future. Let US not only not talk or
wri tie of peace, but let US not even
think of peace.
Germany has won out up to this
time. She holds Belgium, the best
part of northern France; she has shat
tered Russia, crushed Serbia and Ru-
mania, and seized much of northern
italy. She has forced the fighting on
the soil of her enemies, her own land
remaining unscated. And what crimes
can be named which she has not, with
malice aforethought, committed?
What insults and outrages has she not
heaped upon the United States?
Shall we say "lst bygones be by
cones" and take her bloodstained hand
in friendly grasp? God forbid We
must fight this war to victory, or
until we go down IN utter defeat. dis
>aster. a subject people.
We must make up our minds to sac
ritice; we must prepare our hearts to
bear the loss of property, of quiet COM
fort and severest of all he loss of our
sons, brothers. friends, by the tens of
thousands. We must not deceive our
elves. Sorrow woe, misery. are COM
ing to us.
But shall we who are at home be
less brave OF spirit than those who
offer their lives daily for the cause OF
righteousness and the triumph of free
governments? We must expect re-
verses, too. We have no walkover.
We who are too old tu bear arms, or
for equally good reasons are left at
home, should make every exertlon to
do our part.

How Glass Industry Shifted.

The ancient Roman glass works
shipped to all parts of the civilized
world; and specimens of their produc-
tons are today found throughout Eu-
rope, and even In Ireland. When
Rome commenced TO decline and her
great people fed to Byzantium, they
took with them their glass industries,
and Constantinople became the great
est glass manufacturing city in the
world. This prestige 1t held up to the
tenth or eleventh century, and when
It entered upon It's decline and fall the
glassblowers fed to Venice and there
established what afterward grew into
the celebrated Venetian glassware.
