HANDLING AUTOMOBILE
SPEEDERS.

Still the automobile speeder goes his
uproarious way up and down the high
WAYS. Here and there the officials of
some towns stiffen up.
A few scorchers are given mild fines.
The money cost of the thing does not
bother the speeders any. They are slight
~ deferred by the publicity and disgrace
Of the thing. However, they soon forget
that.
Some towns try peaceful persuasion
They erect pleasant signs along the roads,
welcoming the motorists courteously and
asking them to show courtesy In return.
That is good stuff, and will influence some
of the sports. There are others that will
not abate their frightfulness for any little
things like that.
The difficulty of the problem is en-
HANGED by the fact that 95 per cent of
the motor drivers exercise good degree
of care. The great body of drivers OPP
pose drastic automobile laws. The care
full man, knowing that he himself uses
discretion, dislikes to be held down too
closely by law. But he forgets that he
himself, as well as pedestrians and horse
owners, is endangered by the small ele-
ment of those that make themselves con
spicious.
The one best way of controlling
speeder is to take away his license. We
are too apt, when some fast driver almost
runs over us, to let the matter pass in
spirit of good nature. 1t may be little
trouble to complain of the offender. But
unless man of that type is complained
of he is sure eventually to kill or MAIN
some one. He is usually skillful, so he
can take many chances and come through.
But some day he figures just a hair too
close. Some one makes an unforeseen
motion, and there is manslaughter case
The time to check this class of drivers is
before they do the killing. - Houlton

Two Good Stories From Oxford.

A man went to health resort, and in
each letter he wrote to friends at home
he stated that he was constantly improv-
ing and felt 10 years younger than when
he wrote the last letter. Finally he quit
writing letters, and the friends at home
became alarmed, and started an investl-
cation, and discovered that their old neigh
Dor had died at the health resort with
cholera infantum.
A little girl was asked by her teacher
to write composition of 500 words about
an automobile trip. So she wrote about
her papa buying a new car, taking the
family out for ride, and running into
tree and tearing off wheel. She had
used up about 800 words when she reached
that part of her composition that told
about tearing off the wheel ''The other
200 words are what papa said, and don't
like to write them down here" was her
concluding sentence.-Norway Adver-

The Tented City, on North street,
bath, says the Times, looks like little
town by itself. The camps are occupied
manly by young people, who have come
10 work in the shipyards, and every spare
minute IS devoted to improving the looks
OF their little homes. Most of the houses
nave been painted, and some have been
piaStered and papered. Each camp con-
tains an electric stove and oven, which,
win the use of couch bed, makes very
comfortable little home. One thing which
visitors noticed in particular Sunday was
the cleanliness of the camps. They are
all equipped with electric lights, and next
winter will be heated with electricity.
No doubt many of the young men will
build small piazzas of their own accord
which will add greatly to their conven-
fence.

PEACE.

J0llficatlon meetings were held in practically very city and town in this country yesterday. The people had be- come imbued with the spirit of peace -wrested from an enemy who had been forced to seek peace from her enemies, and the people of these Uni ted States were simply wild with the thought. that finally the world had be6p restored to it's senses and Ger many had been brought to rightful punishment for bringing such an aw- full calamity upon civilized world.
 But, alas the news had been spread by persons s not officially informed, and the long wanted peace proved to be in the sdistance-Germany's peace delegation had not even entered into discussion with Marshal Foch regard ing the terms and conditions of the Allied armistice. The fighting had not ceased and the soldiers of Eng land, France, Belgium and the United States were up early and late, bring ing about aspeace that shall be ever enduring. and hurrying to an end the awful carnage that has blighted the homes of millions, and held up civili- zation to shame and disgrace.
 No one doubts but that Germany will eventually pay the price-she must, suffer for her wrongs, just as other people have always paid for making unjust wars throughout all the ages .of mankind d-and that payment is hurrying along sour doughboys, in $ conjunction with their allied sol diers, push their way toward Rhine land. But, from all reports being re- ceived by this newspaper. from it's paid correspondents at the front and at the national capital, there is no peace yet for the stricken world.
 <, Let us conserve our enthusiasm withhold the celebration until the news has spread and been confirmed that the Germans have gone the way of their allies and have accepted the drastic terms laid down by our Sup reme War Council.
 sAnd while we are waiting, let us not overlook the important United War Work campaign which opens Monday. In our frenzied desire for AL lied victory, let us not overlook the things which make peace as certain as is the coming the judgment day, and support with our every means and resources both financially and nor ally, every good movement made with the intent of maintaining the high morale of our armies in France, and thus assure the boys lover there" that desiidng peace asswe do, we will con- tinusn share .with them the burdens Of ths Var until finally, they will have made it impossible for Germany to do otherwise than to submit to wnatever terms the Allies may see

DEMAND FUR BEEF
 EXCEEDS SUPPLY

 versity of Arkansas.
 It is said figures do not lie; if 50. Arkansas people have an unusual op~ portunjty to do their patriotic duty and grow into money by raising cattle. Because the demand for beef exceeds the supply and will continue to do so for years after the war, while the herds of Europe are being replaced. the prices for beef will remain high, and the natural conditions for raising cattle-a good climate and cheap graz ing lands-insure success to our farm CTS.
 Cold Storage Beef Decreases.
 Figures recently sent out by the United States Department of Agricul- ture show that beef in cold storage decreased approximately 120,00O, 900 pounds in six months. The beef on hand in cold storage included 137,00a.- 900 pounds in the process of prepara- tion for shipment to our Allies and for army use. The balance, or approx imately 97,000,000 pounds, on hand at the time the figures were published, was sufficient to supply the nation only about three days. Meat ship ments abroad have increased from 15,OO0, ,0oO pounds week, during pre- war times, to 75,000,000 pounds week. The shipment overseas during one week recently amounted to S3,- 00,000 pounds.
 These figures show that our beef exports have increased 500 per cent to 600 per cent over pre-war times. In addition to this, our soldiers now in training camps require large amount of beef. The world-shortage of meat is shown in the following ta- ble:
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1918-11-09

It is estimated that the European loss in cattle, hogs and sheep amounts to over 1O0,000,000 head. :. In. view of the great decrease in meat animals in Europe, accompanied by the necessary reduction of breed ing animals in those countries, and the heavy shipments of beef from this country, the opportunities for cattle raising in the United States look very promising. The demand for beef for our army and our Allies far exceeds the supply. The demand for meat, and especially beef, will in all prob ability increase as long as the war lasts. Our soldiers and the armies of our Allies must have meat. They are depending largely on the farmers of this country to- oSaupply them with meat as well as other articles of food. 1t is, therefore, the obligation of every farmer of Arkansas to do his utmost in producing beef < :s

 Cattle Bringing Better Prices.
 Cattle of ali. Sciasses are bringing better prices lthan was ever knqwn in the history of the country. It seems now. from the best information at hand, that prices are likely to remain good for, some time. !" i.
 Every farmer in the state should look towards the increase ( and im- pavement of his herd. Beef cows should be bred to good registered bulls -Shorthorn; Hereford. or Aberdeen Angus. A few farmers, having only a few cows each,. should cooperate in buying good registered bull of some beef breed. ,All scrub bulls should be castrated before they reach six months of age. Grade herds can be rapidly and constantly improved by the use O. registered bulls. Grade calves. pro- duced by mating registered bulls with, ordinary: native cows, show many of the characteristics of their sires and make quite satisfactory feeders, many of which are capable of being develop ed into good to choice beef steers. '''
 It is probably advisable for the 'av..i craze farmer to grow into the live stock business" rather than to go into it. A good way to begin is for the farmer to buy registered bull for hisl own use, or comparatively with his If this cannot be done, some arrangement should be. made for breeding his COWS to some registered bull in the community. In some cases it would be advisable to buy few good native cows. Provision should be made for maintainin gthe herd in good condition during the winter.
 The good to choice heifers should be kept for breeding purposes and the inferior heifers and steers sold for beef
 With intelligent care and attention the herd should make consistent i'm and the farmers who sue ceed in improving their herds to a extent may then hope to succeed in breeding registered beef cattle.
