ICE SHORTAGE ENDS
AshdOwn New Has Ice Plant Running
at. Full Capacity Making II Tons.

After summer of Intermittent ice
famines Ashdown now has no cause
to fear further shortage in that now
staple commodity. The company clos
ed down It's then small ice plant more
than month ago for the purpose of
installing new machinery and more
than doubling the capacity Of the ice
plant During that time the town had
to depend on other plants for ice.
With an ice famine all over the coun-
try we were frequently without ice.
About two weeks ago construction was
completed ON one large tank OF the
new plant and manufacture commenc-
ed. BY economy the town was fairly
we'll supplied. This week the overhaul
ing of the other tank was completed
and put into operation. Thursday they
bes n pulling ice from both tanks Of
the new IL ton plant, and the output
from now on will be more than suffi-
cient for local needs, and a surplus
can be shipped to other towns. The
storage capacity is being multiplied
by four, and in 1.-The future several
cars OF ice q n be kept on hand il the
storage vaults. Idabel has no ice
plant, and this summer has ct times
had to go without ice FOR weeks at a
time only as small amounts could be
shipped in. 1t appears th!.'t the con-
sumption o. ice has grown over the
entire country and the largo city
plants have been unable to supply only
a fraction OF their calls. The Common
wealth Public Service Company has
spent large amount of money in
bringing both their power pA alt and
their ice plant up to full requirements,
and the city should feel proud Of this
accomplishment and forget the incon-
veniences undergone during the period
of reconstruction

CONVENTION ADJOURN
ED AT NOON FRIDAY
Various Views rs to Length Of
Recess to BE Tsktn-
May Be Till
June, 1919.

Little Rock, Aug 23.-The Const;tu-
tional Convention will conclude is Ia
bors by noon today. Rapid progress
was made yesterday in disposiny IF
the miscellaneous subjects.
Besides "a, few odds and ends. the on
ly thing to be decided this morning is
the length of the recess that will be
necessary. The convention will not
adjourn sine die. This cannot be done
until the draft of the proposed con-
stitution has been prepared by the
Committee on Phraseology and Codifi
cation, and endorsed by the conven-
ton.
There are two elements among the
delegates that must be reconciled. One
will insist upon an adjournment of
several months and the other of only
a few weeks. One does not want the
constitution submitted until after the
legislature has made some provision
for printing and distributing it, while
the other will insist Upon its sub
mission at the November election.
Some will insist that it be submit
ted en- bloc, and the others that 1t
be submitted by sections, particularly
the sections providing for the more
radical changes.
Notable Changes.
Among the changes are:
Full women suffrage, extending to
women the right to vote hold Office
and serve on juries. The latter would
be optional.
Fonur-year term of office for State
officials, making them ineligible for
reelection or ineligible to run for one
Office while serving in another.
Constitutional prohibition, exclud-
ing the legality OF importing liquor
except for medicinal, mechanical
md scientific purposes and wine tor
sacramento use.
The budget system for all State
institutions and departments.
Legislative sessions once every four
yesrs instead of biennially.
Increased salaries for State Off
cials.
Granting to juries in civil md mis-
demeanor criminal cases. the right to
return verdicts by a three-fourths
vote
Provision that all property be
taxed uniformly at its true value.
A Board ef EGlncetiOn.
Creation o. a State Board of Edu-
cation
Abolition of the Arkansas Actuari-
al Bureau and giving to the State
Fire Marshal the power to regulate
fire insurance rates.

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
HELPS PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder-
standing about the bread program in
England 1t is true that the En- glish.
man buys loaf of bread for less than
an American can, but it is poorer
bread, and the British government is
paying $2O0,0O0000 year toward the
coat of It.
All the grain grown in Great Brit
ain is taken over by the government
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets at
the prevailing market price. This is
turned over to the mills by the govern
ment at a price that allows the adui-
terated war bread loaf of four pounds
to sell at 1S cents, the two pound loaf
at 9 cents and the one pound Loaf at 8
cents.
In France. under conditions some
what similar, but with a larger ex-
traction, the four pound loaf sells for
10 cents.

NEED BIC HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock at Enormous Rate, EVea
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their fiocks and
herds in order TO meet Europe's ire
mendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward
The United States food admins
trstion reports that American stock
raisers have shown a disposition to
cooperate with the government in in
creasing the nations supply of live
stock
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9th
ar European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated vir-
tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory approximately 100000
head-were driven behind the German
lines
But In England-where 100000
acres of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain fields-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One OF the
reasons apparently is the declining
maximum price scale adopted b. the
English as follows: For September
s17.76 per 100 pounds October, SIPS;
November and December, $160S; Jan
larry, $1440 The effect of these prices
was 60 drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number of cattle as
well as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had 14,S07 900 head of
cattle in 1913, she now has only H.
BAL, 300, a decrease of 1853 per cent.
And France Is today producing only
one gallon OF milk compared to two
and one-half gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because of the lack OF necessary feed.
Close study of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Ad-
ministration that the future problem
Of America lies largely in the produc-
ton of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than in the pro-
duction of cereals for export when
the war will have ceased.

GERMAN WAR PRACTICES

In 1881 Won Moltke, who had been
commander in chief of the Prussian ar
my in the Franco Prussian War, declar
ed:
perpetual peace is dream and
not even a beautiful dream. War is
an element in the order of the world
established by God. By it the most
noble virtues of man are developed
courage and remuneration, fidelity to
duty and the spirit of sacrifce-the
soldier gives his life. Without war
the world would degenerate and lose
itself in materialism. 1.-The soldier
who endures suffering, privation, and
fatigue, who courts dangers, can not
take only in proportion to the re
sources of the country He must take
all that is necessary to his existence
One has no right to demand OF MN
ANYTHING superhuman. 1.-The great
rood in war is that it should be end
cd quickly. In view of this, every
means, except those which are posi-
tively condemnable, must be permitted.
I can not, in any way, agree with the
Declaration of st. Petersburg when 1t
pretends that the weakening OF the
military forces of the enemy constl-
tutes the only legitimate method OF
procedure in war. Mol One must at
tack all the resources of the enemy
government, his finances, his railroads,
his stock of provisions and even ms
prestige.
MANY other examples might be cited
from the writings of German generals.
The very best illustration of this attl-
tude. however, is to be found IN the
Emperor's various speeches, and espe-
ciallv in his speech to his soldiers on
the eve of their departure for emma
in 1900. On July 81 the Kaiser went
TO Bremerhaven to bid farewell to the
German troops. As they were drawn
m. ready tor embark for China, ne
addressed to them a last Official mes
SAGE from the Fatherland. The local
newspaper reported his speech in tuil. In
II appeared this advice and admonition
from the Emperor, the commander III
chief of the army, the head OF all Ger
many:
As soon as you come to blows with
the enemy he will be beaten. No mercy
will be shownl No prisoners VIII De
takenl As the Huns, under King At
tia. made name for themselves, winch
is still mighty in traditions and Legends
today. may the name of German be so
fixed in China by your deeds, that no
Chinese shall ever again dare even TO
look at q German askance.
Open the way for Kultur once for all.
Even the imperial councillors seem
to have been shocked at the Emperor
speech, and efforts were promptly
made to suppress the circulation OF ms
exact words. The efforts were only
partly successful. A few weeks later
when the letters from the German
soldiers in China were being published.
in local German papers, the Leading
socialist newspaper, vorwarts, except
ed from them reports of atrocities under
the title "Letters of the Huns Many
of the leaders in the Reichstag felt
very keenly the brutality of the En-.
pror's speech. The obnoxious word
HUNS had excited almost universal
condemnation. When the Reichstag

MAKING MEATLEsS
DAYS PERMANENT.

In the mestless menu there is fer

ishing dishes, according to e. Fl. Niles.
writing in the Hotel Gazette. who be-
iieves that the present shortage of
meat and fats will not end with the
coming of peace. but may grow more
acute and continue for five or six
years, thus making it worth while TO
develop menus Of grain, vegetables
and fish on a more or less permanent
basis. Meat can be replaced by cereals
and other protein foods, OF may be
served in very small portions as fla I
voring for other food. In making up
