CAPT. MCCULLOUGH
 BACK FROM FRANCE
SON OF ARKANSAS CHIEF JUST ICE RETURNS AFTER TWENTY ONE MONTHS SERVICE CON-
 NECTED WITH BRITISH ARMY.

Little Rock, March 1.--Capt Hugh McCulloch, son of Chief Justice and Mrs. E A. McCulloch, of Little Rock, arrived yesterday after spending 2l months in France, and is visiting his parents at their home, 1900 Wolfe street. Capt McCulIoch's home is in St Louis where he was a practicing physician before entering the army.
 He joined the original Washington University Hospital Unit early in 1917, and arrived in France in May, 1917. just before the heavy fighting began, he said last night Although he was in France nearly 21 months. Capt McCulloch was not at any time assigned to the American army. except when he reached Brest, France. to embark for this country. He was stationed at British hos p:tal at Rouen, in northwest France. The hospital drew its patients from the Fourth and Fifth British arm sectors. and occasionally from the third British army. when the casual ties were very heavy.
 Captain McCulloch landed in this country February IT, on the Rotter- dam. the same ship upon which Sen. ator Owens of Oklahoma returned home after a visit to France. In re- gard to the charges made in congress

Senate, to succeed Senator Kirby, promising a three cornered race with Congressman Thad Cara way at the other angle of the tri- angle It is believed that about the only thing that will keep Governor Brough out of this race is to noml. nate him for the vice presidency, and there are lot of his friends who are confident that he can land that coveted political plum.
 Of course there will be a scramble in Northeast Arkansas for Mr. Cara ways vacant seat State Senator E. E. Alexander of Mississippi coun- ty, is an avowed candidate, and Judge Norfleet of St, Francis and Judge Driver of Osceola and others are being prominently mentioned in connection with it.
 Naturally there will be quite a scramble for the governorship.

Others are mentioned, most of them announcing that they will be candi-

LITTLE ROCK LETTER
(By Clio Harper)

While he insists that there is noth- ing to the rumors, the feeling grows stronger each day that President liar ry Ponder of the senate will be a candidate for governor in the next primary Senator Ponder is sincere in his intention to remain with the practice of law at Walnut Ridge, but there are times when person simply cannot ignore the fnsistent call from his friends. All kinds of pressure is being brought to bear on Senator Ponder, and if he maintains his de termination to remain out of state politics. he is indeed superhuman.
 There is a report out to the effect that J. M Barker, banker of Atkins, will seek the toga Mir. Barker sat for brief time in the senate in 1917 filling out the term of Senator Bur gess, who was removed when charged with bribery He seemed to enjoy the experience, and probably yearns for more strenuous connection with state house affairs. That is what the office of governor is, and will contin- ue to be as long ts there are financial propositions to deal with.
 
 Interesting is the good road game now being played in the general as sembly Almost every county has it's good roads improvement district and most of them or 5, with about half the counties included in state wide projects. But the most interest ing part is to see how thoroughly the good roads movement has the legisla- tors and those who are urging the formation of the districts.
 There was this week introduced in the senate bill making it unlaw- ful for any person, lodge, partnership or association of any kind to erect and maintain signs which gave the distance from one point to another. which distance has not been measur- ed by surveyors chain or mechani- cal device for accurate measurement of distance. The signs now up on the highways of the state must either come down or be replaced with ac- curate ones The object of this bin is to relieve Arkansas of the jokes about distances in the state. It is as easy to put up truthful sign according to the advocates of the measure, as the slip shod, hit or miss ones. All that is necessary is the enjoyment of the vehicle used to carry out the signs with meter for registering distances. At present there are signs all along the prinei- pal highways of the state which often make a traveller further from city. the more he approaches it. all of which is confusing to the man who is a stranger in that part of

dates under no circumstances, and their names are dropped. During all these predictions and rumors, Tom Terrell goes along the even tenor Of his way undisturbed, and looking after his fences.
 For secretary of state, Harvey G.. Combs. chief clerk of the house, has already announced, and Herbert Will son. of the railroad commission, has been mentioned. It is believed that Speaker c. P. Newton has his eye fixed on the state office, but he has been too busy holding the house down to business to say much about his political aspirations.
 T. w. Campbell, assistant attorney general, will be candidate for at torney general. John D. Arbuckle's name has been mentioned in the connection with the office for gov- ernor, but he is maintaining diplo- matic silence
 These are the principle offices that will have contests next time, but since the primary will not be held until one year from next August, there is really plenty of time for the candidates to get into action.

Daphne cried a long while in her
room. She got out her list of ways to
earn fifty thousand dollars again and
cried Ove that.
There is much foolish and futile pro-
test against the nowadays woman who
goes into business outside her home.
But the fact is that 1t is her business
that began it. Her business left the
home first and she is merely following
it to the places where new conditions
and inventions have centralized and
mechanical it.
New conditions have taken her
distaff and her washtub and her cook

and steam ~laundries and restaurants

to go thither to do her necessary work.
Ever the entertainers, the singers,
dancers, tellers of stories, who used
to stir the seragliOs and the castle
halls have been gathered into opera
houses and theaters and into vaude-
vile and moving picture palaces.
Daphne, having no gifts for spin
ming, cooking, or laundry. tried the
theater. Her Old-fashioned lover pro-
tested, and she went, anyway. But
she was not suited to the theater, and
she retreated with nothing to show for
her expedition except her shattered
pride and the fifty-dollar check for
two weeks salary.
Daphne began anew to hunt for
work work, the thrice blessing that
kills time and makes money and tames

full of every other trouble except
work. Even had she been skilled, as
she was not. it would have awaited her
little, since skilled laborers were be-

Clay had saved nothing against the

too small for his courtship requisites;

minimum of expense.
