Italian Plume is
 Favored by Premier

Rome, Oct. 31.-In the midst of the parliamentary election campaign, Signor Nitti, the Italian premier, has come out boldly in letter to his constituents for an Italian Plume. He asserts that the town on the Ad- riatic, which has been seized and is being held by Gabrielle D'Annunzio, must not be abandoned to an uncer- tain fate" and declares that the Ital- ian government, having re-affirmed the Italianity of Plume, 'is employ ing every means to defend it against all attacks
 Great faith is placed by Signor Nitti in the league of nations, but he declares that in order that it may be successful Italy should mol have her honor irreparably wounded by being asked to cede the disputed territory on the Adriatic.
 Ut is deplorable that our allies do not realize the question of Plume has no economic value for Italy, but a moral value, being question of na- tional dignity and sentiment.
 Opposition from friendly nations will mean the creation of an intol- erable internal situation for Italy, and also an uneasy international situation, the effects of which might be most injurious"

Labor Situation Advances H. C. of L.,
 Says Dun's Review

New York, Oct. 31.-Dun's to- morrow will say:
 After months of growing disaf- lection, labor unrest casts ominous shadow over the economic outlook, and tempers the optimism engendered by the present activity of business in many quarters. With some strikes reaching settlement and others ap- parently nearing a conclusion, the situation would be less disturbing if fresh troubles were not constant ly arising, or if there were definite assurance that more stable conditions would soon be witnessed.
 "The disorganization and the de- creased efficiency of labor not alone seriously restricts production, and tends to advance prices by further depicting the already meagre stocks of various commodities, but also di- minishes the purchasing power of thousands of workers and evidences of contraction of retail trade are more plainly discernible in some sec tions.
 "Weekly bank clearings $8,205,- 27,091."

ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox, poctsss and author, who died Thursday at her home in New Haven, was much more of real figure in American letters than most people give her credit for being.
 She made an unfortunate start, in a literary way. Her first poems that attracted attention were of a kind little in advance of the thought of that time. She was roundly abused. Later on the very kind of poems and stories that she wrote became popu- lar. "Our best circles" which close their eyes to them in horror, at first, later eagerly read them and laudea them. Then Ella Wheeler became the great fad. Later there was an- other cycle in the popular esteem of the reading public and Ella Wilcox, this time, came into disrepute again. Now the public taste has changed again and the stuff that she wrote, abused at first, later admired, again abused. is once more popular. So it goes. Today hailed as an artist. To- morrow berated as faker.
 But in all of her poems and all of her other works, Ella Wheeler Will cox stuck closely to the things that are true, whether they hurt or not. In her later years her works, es- pecially her brief editorial compost tions, were marked by convincing style all of her own. They were compelling lessons that no one should question. They could be read by any person of any age. There was noth- ing in any of them that might iniure the young or unsophisticated. If, in her earlier years, Ella Wheeler Will cox, wrote many things that were bad for those who read them, and it is doubtful if she did, she more than made up for it by her later works.

REALTY ACTIVITY.

Activity in the Pine Bluff real estate market has never been so marked as it is now.
 Business and residence property .s being sold at q big profit every day. Scores of persons are buying homes,
 This indicates the steady growth of Pine Bluff. Active real estate always does. Real estate has prov cn n good investment in this city. There is scarcely parcel that hasn't greatly increased in value, regard less of the section in which it is To- cated.
 Ii man had purchased several lots on South Cherry south of Seventeenth avenue 15 years ago, which he could have done for much smaller sum than it now requires to buy half block there, he would pretty well-off today. The same ap- plies to the section lying west of Cherry and south of the lake bed.
 In few years it will be impos- sible in Pine Bluff to get good building lot in reasonable distance of the city's business district.
 If man is wise, he'll buy real es- tate now.
