are already in the military service
There are now 3s4 Norwich university
men listed in the service. The total
number of men, graduates and past ca
diets, of military age, is 753 Thus -
per cent are now in the service Others
are preparing to enter. Twenty others
are known to be in other branches of
war work. There are 262 Norwich uni
vcrsitv men living who have graduated
since 1907. OF these, 10 or IL per cent
are in the service, with nine others in
non military branches Of government
work. There are approximately l540
living Norwich men Of all ages, ranging
| from over 90 years Of age to the under

Speaking The
Public Mind
Editor The Times Recorder:

Editor The Times Recorder: ...
Why should we worry about our
eleven million bale cotton crop when
in 1911 we made crop Of sixtesh and
half million bales. This was before
the world war broke out, and in
normal times, and this cotton was
all absorbed or consumed in less than
fifteen months, and as for that-dur~
ing normal periods. Statistics will
will show. that actual consumption
was from twelve and a half to four
teeen million bales The Wall street
crowd or the few men now controH-
ing the board on the New York Cot
ton Exchange would have you believe
that our eleven million bale crop is a
great drag on the market. Mr.. Far
mer, it is only a great big bluff, they
are trying to ring in on you, and all
you have got to do, is to sit steady in
, the boat and hold your cotton for
forty cents. Last week, we were in
clined to advise our farmer friends to
accept thirty-iye cents, but from this
weeks transactions of the New York
crowd, showing plainly that they are
tryig to force the south to part with
their holdings, we now strongly
urge our friends to hold for forty
cents, and from this on every time
they do try to force such methods, /
! strongly urge the South to raise our
prices at least five cents per pound,
as the Southern planter holds the key
to the situation and they can make
these takers pay for their tricks by
trying to get our crop below the
cost of production.
Now be certain and not become al
armed. Hold your cotton for forty
cents and in less than six weeks they
will be forced to pay it. Just think
of one yard of ginghams selling for
thirty-fve cents. per yard, when one
pound of cotton will make five yards
of ginghams. There you are:-you
can see. what they are making out of
your cotton. IN. A FARMER.

DIVIDE THE HONORS.

Now that an armlStlce has DecH
signed and the thunder of the big guns
stopped, in the calm light of events 1t
l. we'll that ali should consider the
agencies working together toward
winning the great war. No ether
agencies, perhaps, have been more po-
tent in attaining this end than the
operations of the American and Allied
navies, and the earnest and continued
support of the people who remained
| at home and did their share in Turn
ishing necessary support for troops
sent abroad.
1t will be quite natural error to
give individual credit to those en-
gagged in the actual fighting, unless
! one takes that broader view which
recognizes that without assistance
from home the man on the firing line
would be helpless, and useless sac
rlfice The billions of dollars sub
scribed by the American public for
Liberty Bonds, War Savings and
Thrift Stamps, the millions given
outright in support of Red Cross and
United War Work activities; the sac
ritices endured by the whole populace
in the saving OF food for the army;
the conversion Of commercial and
industrial establishments into war
industries; the unselfish devotion Of
men who builded ships and erected
military camps in all sections; the
patriotic enthusiasm of the men en-
gagged in all sections; the patriotic
enthusiasm Of men engaged in aper-
ating the nations transportation sys-
ITEM, and the general determination to
make winning the war the principal
business OF the nation. all helped,
and to those who served in such ca
lpacity credit should be given.
There are thousands OF young men
In military camps throughout the ma
ttion who served as gallantly, and who
gave their energies and talents just
as freely and as enthusiastically as
those who were more fortunate in be-
ing among those sent "over there"
At Souther Field there are today
more than a thousand of brave and
noble young men who have worked
increasingly to attain proficiency in
the art of flying that they might be
of utmost service TO their country,
and others, too. who gave OF their
mechanical genius that the nations
air service might be maintained here
the pinnacle of perfection. There are
among the number stationed here
many who gave up promising business
to be of service to their country, and
others who put aside the dress suit
for the uniform of private soldier
that they might serve. I.
That these hundreds of unselfish
and self-sacrificing men failed to
reach the firing line before the end
ing of hostilities is no fault Of
! theirs.
These men and these agencies
have served where they were most
needed-they have fought as good SOL
within the gift OF any nation Is too
diers should fight, thep have obey

ton have been able to force the war

so devoutly wished. Let all, there
fore, give credit to those who served,
and in whatever capacity. No honor
within the gift fanny nation is too
great for the soldier who has faithful
ly served his country, whether that
service be given ON THE BATTLE
front or AT HOME

THE ABSURDITY OF 1T ALL

President Wilson is demanding that con-
greSS enact revenue law: because, as he says.
a great deal of money must be raised by taxa
ton. In this We are all agreed, and everybody
will face the burden with cheerfulneSs. provided
il is distributed equitably.
1t may be that the new law will be enacted
with the view OF taxing all war profits. Just
now. the mere thought that anybody should
make money out of this terrible war is disgust
ing. Such money. we consider it blood-money
and no decent-nlinded person wants that money
and the indecent should be made decent One
way to reach him is by taxing his profit. But
in considering war profits should we not include
the profit made by those who insist on raise of
wages and shorter hours. and who failing to get
what they want, refuse to help the country?
From government employees down to the
clam diggerS. every wage Garner seems to be
taking advantage of the war to demand higher
salary and shorter hours besides. They refuse
TO work a minute more than they have to. Is
not this profit out of the war? Our federal of
fice-holderS don't work after five o'clock even
ing. They never begin work until after eight
o'clock in the morning. 1t is only short time
ago they all got & raise because OF the war con-
ditionS They evidently saw an opportunity and
demanded higher salary which they received
The opportunity was the horrible war. Con-
eiusively. We see no difference between that
class OF people and the men who get more for
their goods than they did before the war To
get more money for the same goods, or equal
amount OF money for less goods now than they
did before the war is not any worse than de-
handing not only more pay but shorter hours of
labor than the prevailing wage before the war.
II It is war profit in one if is war profit in the
other: and for the same reason. if it is blood
money in one it must be blood-n,oney in the
other.
We have no more sympathy for the aborer
VINO, under tn present condition. demands either
more pay or shorter hours OF labor than we
have for the profteer vino demands more profit.
Both are after blood-noney and both should be
taxed equally

In an interview with one of the Telephone Company Officials regard ing the increased volume of business in all lines brought about by the war, he stated that the number of local tele- phone calls in Pine Bluff have been in creased since we entered the war from about 2S.000 per day to 3S,000 per day, although there has been no in crease in the number of telephones. Tn explanation of this increase he gave as an example the following as an observation of actual case:
 A customer came in to one of larg est General Merchants and asked for six kegs of 8 D. nails, under nor mai times they would have had them in their own stock as they are one of their staple articles but under no conditions would they have gone further than write note to one of onr wholesale firms and sent after them but knowink the conditions. they first called by telephone to ascertain if "they" had them and they didn't" and it required fourteen calls be placed
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1918-12-21

for various Hardward and General , Merchants before this small item could be cared for, thereby, causing fourteen telephone calls when under ordinary conditions not more than one and probably none would have been made
 He stated that the same condition applied on down the line to the house. wife ordering her groceries.
 Another reason advanced was that under normal times when we were not working up to our limit we took advantage of wanting a little infor- nation from friend down the street by going to see him but now We use the telephone instead. When asked how this affected the service he stated that it necessarily slowed the service down as the only way we could over come condition of this kind was to install more equipment to spread the loan and we can't get the equipment now as Uncle Sam had occasion to need the material for oth- CT purposes.
