Is there any room for improvement in the efficiency of the equipment or in the organization for fire fighting If there is it should have the immed- fate attention of the city authorities and corrected The first hose connect ed up at the fire Monday night had a hole in it and a new one had to be provided. All equipment should be kept in tip top order, ready for any emergency at all times. It should be someone's business and that one should be paid sufficiently for the work. Hundreds of thousands of dol lars in property are at stake, the very existence of the town itself, for a des- tructive fire in the congested business districts would be disaster.

The prospects are good for a large attendaprce at the Older Boys Con- ference to be held in Ashdown this month. The boys of Little River county will be our guests, and we must show them every courtesy possible. Every man and woman should have something pleasant in store for these youngsters. There should not be one thing to marr their pleasure. This is one of the most profitable conferences of any kind that has ever been held in Little River county, and all should take advantage and encourage the work along these lines. It will mean better citizenship for the future.

If there is a race problem in Amer ica. it is in the north and not in the south. The riots in Chicago and Washington bear out the point. The southern white man understands the negro and the negro understands him. That is what they are finding out ill Chicago and that is why the southern negroes who went north want to come back.

4 Show window in Atlantic City

During my vacation l spent a week
end at Atlantic City. One day when l
was out on the boardwalk l passed a
restaurant and saw a chicken roast
in the window In one end Of the win
dow was a large door. l found that 1t
was door to a furnace. But in front
Of this door there was a huge IRON
frame with bars extending from side
TO side. One end of each bar was
sharpened to a point, and as there
was no rod extending from the top on
this side. it was an easy matter to in
sert this sharpened end through the
body OF a chicken. There were about
twelve or fifteen of these rods and
about eight or ten chickens on each
rod. The heat from the furnace roast
ed the chickens and turned them a
beautiful golden brown The grease
from each chicken dropped down on
the one below it, until the grease fl
nally dropped into a large pan.

SCRIPTURE.

Mark 1876

Mark 1916
And again, departing from the
coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came
unto the sea of Galilee, through the
midst of the coasts of Decapolis.
And they bring unto him one that
was deaf, and had an impediment in
his speech; and they beseech him to
put his hand upon him.
And he took him aside from the
multitude and put his fingers into
his ears, and he spit, and touched
the tongue;
And looking up to heaven, he sigh
ed and saith unto him, Ephphdtha,
that is, Be opened.
And straightway his ears were op'
ened, and the string of his tongue
was loosed, and he spake plain.
And he charged them that they
should tell no man; but the more he
charged them, so much the more d
great deal they published it;
And were beyond measure astonish
ed, saying, He hath done all things
WE'LL he maketh both the deaf to
hear, and the dumb to speak.

THE STREET CARS RUN.

The great street railway sys-
tenn of the thriving city of Chick
asha was Just about to be tied up
in hard 1not-you might call ii
a Gordian knot, if you know what
that is. The cars were on the
verge Of coming to a dead stop,
paralyzing the transportation
system Of the city, and there
seemed to be no way to head off
the calamity.
1t was all because the company
was not making enough money
to pay the carmen the money they
wanted and, what in the name OF
heaven could anybody do about
it? There was nothing, absolute
ly nothing that could be done
but
There was one man in Chick
asha who said the cars must not
stop and, as he happened to have
the required amount Of change,
he said, "I'll pay the 5 cents per
hour raise asked by the carmen,
for a month, " following which
speech he proceeded to write a
check for $165, delivering the
same to the representative of the
company. And thus Chickasha is
assured of street car service for
another month, thanks to Mr.
Austin.
And now the street car system
having been granted a stay of eX-
ecution, our enterprising citizens
will have a month to work out
plans to keep it alive permanent
ly. Perhaps the thing can't be
done but we have a speaking no
ton that if all of us will tackle

SENATOR JOHNSON JUGGLES
WITH FACTS.

Senator johnson, who has beer
trailing President Wilson, has
been summoned back to Wash
inalon to help carry his amend
ment to the peace treaty which IS
designed to keep John Bull from
out-voting Uncle Sam in the
League Of Nations. 1t is a very
important piece Of business which
the senator has on his hands and
if by chance he should fail to
reach the capital in time TO ac-
complish his mission, in all prob
ability the Washington monument
will fall down.
Mr. johnson has been proclaim
ing from the house tops where
ever he went how the covenant
of the league gives Great Britain
and everyone Of her dominions a
vote each while the United States
has only one vote. Hence, it IS
plain as peas that John Bull
could outyote Uncle Sam and
lead America around by the nose
any time he felt like it, This
would be bullygood logic if it
were based upon facts but unfor-
tunately for the reputation Of the
allegel statesmen from California
It is founded solely upon misrep-
resentation Of the covenant.
The truth Of the matter is that
while Great Britain and each Of
her self-governing dominions has
representative in the assembly,
Of the league, in the council Eng
land has but one vote and no mat
ter can come before the assembly
until it has first been passed up
on by the council. In the coun-
ell each of the great nations has
one vote and unanimous consent
is required to pass and decide
anything except two minor mat
ters which are specified. Uncle
Sam has exactly the same voice
as the other nations and nothing
can be done without his consent. !
Does this look like there is much
danger of Great Britain being
put in a position to hand Ameri- |
ca a package if she were so Cis-
posed? Vcrily it does not, ex-
cept TO the partisan eyes of the
jaundiced Mr.. Johnson.
The text of the covenant itself
is a plain refutation of the
charges Of Mr.. johnson that the
president basely surrendered the
rights and honor Of his country
in consenting to allow the United
States to be outvoted in the
league. Nevertheless, we have no
doubt that many who read the
senator's speeches will be inn
pressed with his argument on this
point because they won't take
the trouble to find out whether
he is telling the truth about it.
The timer startegy of johnson,
Reed, Lodge and the rest of their
kind is to kick up so much dust
that the real facts will be OBJ
scured. The average citizen will
do well to study the covenant it.

bunch which the frenzied foes of
