may be possible that Pine Bluffians will be called on for guarantee to be used in case the team goes in hole With good patronage there will be
 no necessity for using this money. Whatever the football boys at the high school want the people of Pine Bluff should give them. The high school football games that we have here each fall are about the best sporting events of Pine Bluffs calen- dar for the year. The team looks like a good one this year and the games should attract big crowds.
 Football is just as necessary as T part of high school training as any course of study. It has been recog- nized as invaluable as a physical training course and it develops fine school spirit. It teaches CO., operation and inculcates in the pupils pride for the school and for the city.
 The alumni of the high school and the football fans of Pine Bluff should tell the athletic authorities at the high school to go ahead and bring any teams they want to play Pine Bluff with no fear that a possible deficit would not be forthcoming.

Grain Stored in
 Turkey Released
 By the Americans

Constantinople, Sept. 26.-All grain stored in Turkish government ware houses, millions of bushels, has, been made available for distribution by the American Commission for Relief in the near East by Mohammed VI, the 1 Sultan of Turkey, following an audi ence that monarch has just granted to Major David G. Arnold of Provi- dence, R. l., director of the commits sion.
 The Sultan, according to Major Ar mold, expressed his appreciation of the American effort to relieve conditions in Turkey and upon the conclusion of the interview, issued an order to the Grand Vizier to cooperate with the commission, which now numbers about 45C American workers, aided by several thousand assistants. The commissions field of operations covers the entire area of old Turkish Empire and stations are scattered from Smyrna to Tiflis, in the Cauca- sus. Major Arnold, who, arrived less than two months ago, and who has established headquarters here, was formerly of the famous Rainbow Di- vision in France, and before the war saw service with American troops in Mexico. He is an attorney by profes- sion. The personnel of the commis- sion includes many former army of- ficers.
 The work of the commission in- wolves monthly expenditure of about S2,500,0Oo. Forty-two thousand tons of supplies, including a large amount of drugs and valuable hospital equip ment, have already been put to use. In addition the organization has su- pervised the distribution of 30,000 tons of flour for the Food Administra-
 tion. The supplies have been shipped to Turkey direct from America but their delivery into the interior, it is said, has involved every conceivable transport difficulty.
 "The chief problems that confront us," said Major Arnold today, "are the care of refugees and orphans.

ASHURST'S COURAGE.

Senator Ashurst of Arizona has thrown down the political interests of his party and decided to safe guard the interest of his country first Ashurst, from the start prejudiced against the league of nations, was greatly influenced against the league by Johnson, Lodge, Borah and the rest of the anti-league senators. He fought the leagues fiercely and, we believe, sincerely. Now, he has told President Wilson, he is convinced that his opposition might be extremely harmful to the United States and to the world.
 But he has decided he will vote for the league, he says.
 q am unwilling" says Senator Ashurst, "to precipitate chaos upon the world by some hazardous amend ment or reservation"
 So Senator Ashurst passes from the list of opponents of the league, and becomes supporter of the pact. The westerner's action, in every way, is courageous. His honesty is, com mendable and should prove an ex- ample to others in the senate.

THE UNITED STATES A POOR
 MERCHANT.

! The United States government is
 poor merchant, says the c commercial 1 Appeal.
 We have before us a circular an-
 nouncing the sale of government ma terial to be held in Boston. The ma terial consists of brass rods and other
 brasses and copper. In the first place,
 bidders are required to accept the material in it's present condition. "The government assumes no respon. sibility," states the government, Gas
 regards quantity, quality of analysis.
 The bids shall cover each lot in it's
 entirety and not a portion thereof,
 but combined bids for two or more
 lots will be permitted Any demur- rage charges shall be paid by the buyer. Failure to comply with condi-
 tions of sale makes buyer liable to forfeiture of deposit submitted with bid, without furher notice. No mate rials shall be removed until full value of same has been received by the government"
 The attitude of the government sales agents toward purchasers is al-
 most hostile. There is a note of
 abruptness and finality in all of the
 governments propositions. The would be purchaser is often bluffed because he fears that any difference of opin- ion as to the terms of sale will be settled arbitrarily by the govern
 ment.
 If the United States government wants to do business with it's people in the disposal of accumulated war material and desires to realize any
 thing like the proper value it should change it's tone and be a merchant with the manners and frame of mind of a good merchant. If you were to go into clothing store and you should desire to pur-
 chase suit of clothes, and the owner of the store would say, "This suit is $50, take it or leave it," you would
 probably go next door and do business
 unless the day were Jewish holiday.

BUYING OVERALLS.

At the hearing before the senate committee in Little Rock Wednesday night on the so-called "anti-profiteer- ing" bill, which would have required dealers in all articles to mark goods offered for sale with the net cost, the subject of overalls prices came in forsmention.
 Now, overalls is overalls to the average person, but to dealers and men who buy them, there are overalls and overalls. There are trade names indicating the difference. To those familiar with the terms "overalls" means a garment with sort of ex- tension over the chest, meant to be slipped over the trousers. Then there is the "suit of overalls." which means pants with the big and a jumper "Unionalls" refers to ne-piece gar ment, and is truly overalls because it serves as trousers and jumper.
 In the discussion the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce mentioned the sale price of overalls, having ref erence to a"suit of overalls," while d representative of Pine Bluff organiz- ed labor spoke of prices on "overalls" having reference, according to The Graphic's informants, to the single garment costume, and figuring out difference of about $3 in the prices asked.
 This created an erroneous impress sion. The facts are, according to men familiar with the trade, that the article said to have been obtained from mail order house for $1.96 is not as good a garment as the Cham Der of Commerce representative had in mind as being sold in Pine Bluff for $2.50. Hence the case of buying overalls: In Pine Bluff vs. Mail Order House, seems to be this:
 Buying in Pine Bluff :-
 Purchaser has privilege of
 inspecting before purchasing,
 and doesn't pay out his money
 until satisfied, or perhaps he
 has them charged; cost $2.5O.
 Buying from M. o House:
 Purchaser writes letter, en-
 closing money order for $1.96;
 cost of money order and letter
 .06; Parcel post charges (quot-
 ed), .35; Total $2.37.
 There is a seeming difference of 23 cents in favor of the mail order house, but the difference in quality of the article bought in Pine Bluff and that obtained from the m o. house far exceeds these few cents.
 Besides, the m. o. house patron sends away his money long before he receives his purchase, buying sight unseen" as it were, and if the article proves unsatisfactory he must pay the parcel post charges to return it, and probably spends several months fuming and fretting because he can't get the m. O. house to send the ar ticle wanted or return his money.
 As compared with this, he gets goods of better quality from the Pine Bluff merchant; doesn't pay until the end of the month or later, or at least, not until he has personally inspected the article, and is saved the wear and tear of nerves that usually en- sues from m. o. house order
 The Graphic feels confident that Pine Bluff merchants will gladly meet the price of m. house on any ar- ticle, quality considered, and under the same terms: Cash week or 10 days before filling order, the purchas- CT paying cost of ordering and of transportation to Pine Bluff.
 Try it!

DEMOCRATIC ROW

The row in the Democratic party
over the retention Of Postmaster Gen.
eral Burleson in the Cabinet is assum-
ing such proportions that President
Wilson soon will be compelled to take
the matter in hand.
Whether Mr.. Burleson shall 60 or
stay will be decided by the President
when he returns to Washington, if
not earlier. In anticipation Of devel-
opments the Postmaster General has
cabled the President a lengthy defense
which includes his charges that dis
gruntled periodical publishers are be-
hind the attacks upon him.
It has transpired that there will
be an investigation Of BurlesOn's ad-
ministration Of the postal, wire and
cable services initiated as soon as the
new Congress meets. Democratic
members are no less in favor Of such
investigation than are the Republicans
who will be in control.

A CALL TO THE coLoRs

Chairman VIII H. Hays Of the Re
publican National Committee has is-
sued q call to all Republicans urging
their united and effective support Of
the Victory Liberty Loan. The call
is publicly issued to all Republican
national committeeman, state chair
men, all state organization workers,
all county chairmen and all precinct
committeeman, and TO all Republican
newspapers, asking them 10 suspend
all political activities until the success
Of the loan has been assured.
Our first duty as Republicans today
IL that duty which we have never
failed and never viii fail to anticipate
and discharge-Our duty as Ameri-
cans Just as during the recent war
we determined our every act by how
we could do most for effective action,
30 now we will measure our every
step.
How can we contribute most to the
Nations welfare.
To that end we will abandon all
other activities to aid in the Victory
Loan until It's success has been &C
cOmplished.
For this purpose let the Republican
Press and every member Of the Re
publican organization enlist in the
Victory Loan drive. The national
state, county, city and precinct or
ganization Of loyal working Repub-
licans will enroll to q man in this ser
vice.
This Is the nations next great duty.
It is our privilege to exhaust the
possibilities in our same splendid sup
port, with the knowledge that those
who may oppose rs in political strife
are joining with Us in this effort.

THE SERVICE OF
THE HOME STORES

When q home merchant sells his
stuff to his own tOwnspeOple, he gets
the most thorough test Of the value
Of his goods. If anything doesn't alb
solutely make good, 1t comes back to
him at once. His customers return to
the same place week after week. He
quickly finds out whether his mater
ial has proved good, bad, or indifer-
ent. He finds out how the goods work
in actual use more quickly and thor
Oughly than the large city department
store or the mail order house.
So. the home merchant quickly
learns what lines can be depended up
on and what can't. The latter he cuts
out, and places his reliance on the
producers who have made good. When
you buy Of a home store, therefore,
you get the benefit Of q test Of the
made in your own home town,
carefully watched by the man whose
it Is to have his sales salts
factory. No test Of the value Of goods
made in any other way can be de-
pendable.

k|oiy that odllo inhlch the Io1r con.
tinued strain these home folks have
borne.
To many the anxiety must have
seemed harder 10 bear than the strain
of = critical illness In the family. In
the soldiers case the worry was 30
continuous and prolonged. II was
augmented by the difficulty Of COM
hunicating with the absent one. It
was far worse In this war than In the
Civil war, because Of the great dis
tance and irregularities In delivering
mail.
The people who have had this load
10 carry have borne II amazingly.
Most Of them here in Baxter Springs
have maintained q fine show Of cheer
fulness. Those Of q hopeful .tempera-
ment Of course argued that only a
small proportion are killed. But the
ordinary father and mother and sis
ter and sweetheart carried q load the
weight Of which few people guessed.
Well, It II all over now, thank God.
As In all life, the bearing Of burdens
bring ample reward. The people who
took up their loads with 4 brave heart
grew stronger every day. It is a good
deal like the case Of unused muscles
The man who never exercises Is weak
and fabby physically, and never
knows what he can do. So the peo-
pie who have borne the burden Of this
anxiety proved stronger than they
knew, and are better men and women
today.
They have the intense satisfaction
Of seeing their boys improved physi-
cally in most cases, broader, stronger
men, better fitted for life, with i'm
proved prospects Of success, with the
admiration Of the whole community
As they now look back on this trying
experience, they must feel it wai
worth all 1t cost.
