In 1901 the judge went to Washing
ton to act as assistant secretary of
the navy, and here is again connected
with the public payroll to the tune,
one may we'll imagine, of several
thousands OF dollars year. From this
office he resigned in 1905 that he
might accept the still more lucrative
appointment OF collector of Gus
toms for the Vermont district. How
much this job was worth II Is difficult
to say. Under Collector Wells IT, was
worth some $4,000 year. Under
Collector Smalley 1t was worth some
thing less. Common remark has Il
that under Collector Darling II ranged
around 100000 or S25,000 but this
may be, high. At any event It was a
juicy political plum much priced by
politicians, and the Judge held II for
some eight years or until the change
in the administration gave II to q

His telegrams are worded with the lan- guage known by the trough rider. The language and the terms are not surprising to the people of the Uni ted States. His attitude in the matter is not surprise.

.SLOyAKS ID CELEBRATE ULT0bER q IN FUTRRE
 YEARS FOR VICTORY'S 5

With the French Army in France, Oct. 25-By the Associated Press.) October 31,( the newest of nation al fete days, will in years to come be celebrated not only in central Europe as the anniversary of the birth in exile of the Czech Slovak government, but also at Terron-Sur- Aisne, in France, as the date of the first victory of the Czecho Slovak army.
 Units of this latest arrival among the belligerents in this war, fight ing with General Gouraud in the region of Vouziers, received news of the constitution of the Czecho-Slov- ak government at noon, Oct. 21. Immediately afterward they went forward to assault one of the most
 difficult positions along the Aisne and took the village of Terror at the point of the bayonet.
 These troops had been in line for i six days in particularly trying sec tor, drenched by continual rains, wallowing in mud and wading thru tha flooded region along the river. | In front of them the Germans were strongly entrenched aAd fcrf1fled Tn the village of TerrOn, with their us- ual heavy armament of machine guns {! Only fifteen minutes of artillery preparation preceded tte rush thru mu.: and water to the c., nan lines. Led by Major Nusak, commanding the battalion in tt.e first line, the men left their trenches at 3 o'clock to cross the marshy zone swept by the fire from nests of n.achine guns, the emplacements of which could only be guessed.
 The line becan,c th aner and thin ner as it went on, but the survivors inspired by the example of Captains Siblik and Vlasak and Lieuts. P!( and Zatica, continued on to the first houses in the village without falter- ing.
 An hour later the entire position was in their hands.

------W. D. D.------- THE CLAYS OF ARKANSAS,

Deposits of clay are so common that the day resources of a State seldom attract much attention, yet clay may be put to an infinite var iety of valuable uses, and its annual output in the United States is worth more than $15O,OO0,OOO. The State of Arkansas produces clay of several | kinds, which are described in Bulletin 351 of the United States Geological Survey. Department of the Interior. This bulletin not only states the loca- tions of the clay deposits of the State but describes their composition char i acter, origin occurrence. and uses. The clays are classified as residual clays, | clays of mechanical origin, clays and kaolins of chemical origin and bauxite The production in each county is con- sidered separately, and the uses to which the clay is put are given. An interesting use has been made locally i of some of the potter's clay found in Dallas County. It has been dissolved in buttermilk and boiled and used as whitewash. When so used it gives smooth coat of slightly bluish tint, i which is said to be about as durable as a coating made with lime.
 The clay resources of this state are attracting attention turnout the world The potters thruout the country are awaking to the fact that this state has growing industry that furnishes a product that is hard to equal.

CHIFFON BUSINESS IS 0VERSHADOWEO BY TIE
 WAR-PEACE SITUATION

New York, Oct. 25.-The attention of cotton traders has been pretty we'll monopolized by the international sit nation again during the past week and business has been comparatively quiet with price changes irregular.
 After the advances late in. the pre- vious week on the buliish View of peace prospects, prices developed an easier turn owing partly to dissatis- faction over the latest German note and reports that the bulge was meet ing some increase in offerings from the south.
 The bulk of the selling, however. reflected scattered liquidation and after selling off to 2915 for December on Thursday or about $11 per bale below the recent high level, prices rallied half a cent or so on the small ginning figures of this morning.
 It had been anticipated that the re- port of the census bureau would show fully 100000 bales ginning to Oct IS, and the actual showing of 6,970,- 003 was disappointment to recent

PROBING DOES THE WORK.

Immediately following the an- nouncement in New York that an in vestigation by the Federal Food Ad- ministration of profiteering in oran- ges and lemons, the price of oranges dropped from three to four dollars on the box and lemons dropped from one to two dollars box. The effect of the investigation was Instantaneous.
 Here in Pine Bluff the investiga- tors if they were so inclined, have a field that would possibly produce some fertile soil for rigid investigation of prices, in various establishments.
 One these days never knows the price for the commodity that was pos sibly purchased the day before. What's the price?" is the invariable question following purchase, or just prior to giving an order. In the great majority of instances the fault is not with the retailer but has it's inception back in the East. However, in eating places and other establishments fur nishing food stuffs it cans altogeth- CT be attributed to the wholesale dis tributers.
 The desire to ''gouge," and the ap- parent success of the proceeding with little or no resistance on the part of the public, has added to the practice not only in Pine Bluff but turnout the country.
 The public is to blame for the ma jority. The consumer has it in his power to diminish the practice. How ever, no one ever ceases to quibble- it is not good form. But so long as the public appears to stand for the practice just so long will the profit eering continue unabated.

--W. s, s. ENTENTE APPROVE ACTION.

Dispatches from London and Paris arc of a very complimentary if not a sanguine tone in commenting on President Wilson's last reply to Ger many. The fact that Wilson has put the matter squarely up to all the entente governments has met with hearty approval.
 His action has brought the ques- tion where definite developments may be expected. It has brought the matter where the peace situation will be decided for one way or the other.
 Paris regards the Presidents course as entirely satisfactory. It regards the reply as putting the matter up before Marshals Haig, Pershing and Commander in Chief Foch. Everything is now in the hands of the military.
 If Germany accepts the terms it means unconditional surrender and the military officials will impose and enforce the terms.
 One Paris newspaper asserts that the reply was frankeness itself. Nc better warning could have been giv. en Germany than that she holds her fate in her own hands.
 The choice is with Germany. Will settlement be made now at less in terest, or will it. be made latter with much more to pay?
 It is believed that the German l military will attempt to hold on fol awhile longer. Will the German peo pie back this stand? This is the entire l situation.

 But aside from covering demand failed to broaden to any material ex- tent.
 It was pointed out by local statis- ticians that o1S9he basis of the largest percentage of the crop previously gin ned to October IS, this years figures would mean a little over 10,5O0,00O bales, while on the average percent age ginned to the date for the past five years. they would indicate a crop of about i2,8Oo bales.
