Out of this population approximately 10000 light, water and power customers have been connected. The company has built and has in operation ap- proXmately 200 miles of high volt age transmission lines and has under construction at this time approxi- mately 100 miles of additional lines. One hundred miles of medium volt age lines have been built for supply ing power to the rice farmers and the small towns. At this time the company is operating in the follow ing counties: Jefferson, Clark, Cuachita, Union, Columbia, Hot Springs, Conway, Pope, Yell, Jack son, Lonoke, Lee, Arkansas, Green, Clay, Mississippi, South East Mis- souri and building to Pulaski county.
 In developing this property it has been necessary to draw upon the East for finances. A very extensive cam paign was made to get the Eastern bankers interested in Arkansas utili- ties and considerable money was spent in reports and personal visits in order to properly present the ad- vantages of our state to these men. The many reports prepared in con- nection with these properties have brought before the Northern and Eastern bankers the advantages of our state and I expect that these men are better posted upon the industries

The fourth sperio1 about 1873 com- prlses the modern development of electric theory and of absolute quan- tltatlve measurements and above all the application of this knowledge in electrical engineering.
 With this brief review of the de- velopment of the electric science, we are prepared to cake up the present developments of the utility plant. The operation of the public utility in- wolves possibilities of an unusual character. Thei ordinary manufac- turer or dealer will undertake to sup ply his commodity promptly and will keep a large stock in store to avoid delays in filling orders when the de- mands are heavy and exceed his daily output. A public utility is dealer in service manufactured as it is re- uired and must always be prepared to supply instantly and without mo- tice whatever, any reasonable de- mand for it's service This exacting requirement calls for foresight and skill of high order, reliable equip ment and an organization of which each member must be keenly con- scious of his responsibilities and loyalty to his company.

age of what might be termed the cen- trallzatlon or combination of efforts and power. We have seen the wonder 1ul results obtained by the develop ment and concentration of large manufacturing industries in all lines. This has been accomplished by bring Ing together the smaller interests and placing them under the supervision of one large and efficient manage ment. This idea has not alone been followed by the manufacturing in- dustrles, but we find our lawyers. our doctors, and our engineers and in fact every profession and industry joining together, thus forming groups of specialists. This idea of grouping the smaller industries into one large organization has been ex- tended to the public utility field. The successful system of electric roads, transmlsslon lines, and power houses m our nelghboring states, Illinois, Missouri and Texas, demonstrates that the near future will see our public utilities operated like our tele- phone systems of today. By cen- tralizing these plants, the public is gwen better service. The plants are gwen the same expert supervision whether they serve the town of 2,5OO of the city of 25,000. This is made possible by bringing the many small plants into one large operating group which is under the supervision ot an efficient management and re- ceives the attention of the expert engineers.

 Financing Public Utilities.
 You must keep in mind that if nancing a public utility is very diff ferent from the ordinary industrial plant due to the peculiar conditions surrounding utility properties. In most lines of business the capital is turned over two or more times each year while the utility requires from four to six years to earn an amount eual to it's normal capital.
 The utilities have suffered more than any other line of industry dur ing the war period, due to the in creased cost of machinery, labor and fuel and due to the fact that new ma terial could not be had for extensions and developments even though these extensions and developments could have been financed. Unfortunately this condition still exists very large ly as the skilled labor situation is very much unsettled.
 Pine Bluff Excellently Situated.
 Pine Bluff is peculiarly well situ- ated for utility development. We are in the center of great cotton producing area and just beyond this area are the rice lands. The develop ment of power load depends upon the diversity of the load and the com bination of the gins, the cotton oil mills and the rice fields, make this the most attractive center in the state. Hence Pine Bluff is destined to be the center from which the power of the state will be handled.

TRAVELLED ALL over
THE WORLD
But Tanlac Helped Him More
Than Treatments Here, in
Europe, and In South
America.

The following statement, which was
made few days ago by H. L. Fin
niger, watch maker for the Nathan
Dohramann & Company, living at sc
Plato St., San Francisco, CAL, is both
interesting and remarkable. Mr.. Fin
niger said:
81 have been treated for indigestion
in France, Italy and Switzerland and
in North and South America, in fact,
all over the world, but. Tanlac is the
only thing l have ever found to do
me much good. Always after eating
| would have such awful cramping
pains in, my stomach that l could
hardly stand It, | had fallen off in
weight until l was scarcely more than
frame of skin and bones, and my
nerves were so shattered that the least
little thing would irritate and upset
me. l could not sleep to do any good
and would G ct up mornings more tir-
ed than on going to bed. My strength
and energy had about all left me and
many a time l felt like l would be
compelled to give up entirely.
Besides taking everything in the
way of treatments and medicines, |
have tried all the different kinds of
diet, also the rest cure, but never got
more than little passing relief. But
the way a few bottles of Tanlac has
brought me out is more than l can
understand. At the time l began TAX
ing this medicine l only weighed nine
ty-eight pounds, but / now balance
the scales at one hundred and eigh-
teen, making a gain of twenty pounds
on five bottles of Tanlac. After fin
of the second l could see was getting
better and from that time on my i'm
provament was very fast. / can eat
just anything now and never suffer
a particle of distress afterwards. NY
nerves are in excellent condition so
that now get eight hours good sound
sleep every night. | get up mornings
now ready for a good breakfast and
a full days work. usually put in an
hour or two in the mornings working
in my garden before going to the
store, which would have been impos-
sible for me before taking Taniac My
appetite is fine now. l relish every
thing | eat, and am enjoying better
health than have in years. Tanlac
has certainly been a life saver to me
and it's real pleasure for me to re-
commend it."

IRISH FREEDOM

noticed in the Capital News Of
Nov. 10th an article telling of the or.
,ganization of the Friends of Irish

in that much talked of country, per
haps l may be permitted to say 6
few words.
In the first place, there is no neec
Of such an organization in this coun-
try. This savors far too much of the
German-American Clubs that were
so much in evidence before the United
States went to war against Germany
In those clubs the one main topic was
"The Vaterland." They claimed 10y
atty, but the Vaterland was the thing
most talked of. If the friends of
Irish License" are to be permitted
and encouraged to organize in this
country, then we may expect soon to
see organizations of those who are
opposed to Americas interference in
this question, or perhaps organizations
of those opposed to the "Irish Repub-
lic." While this country is being con-
fronted with grevious problems Of its
own we will then have large proper
ton of citizens squabbling over a mat
ter of politics in another land because
they or their fathers, or their grand
fathers, or their great grandfathers
were born there. Secondly, there is
no need for such an organization at
all. Ireland has freedom. Part of
Ireland wants license. Ireland sends
members to the British Pertinent just
as Idaho sends representatives to
Washington. These members have
the same right to voice and vote as
any English or Scotch member. Not
only so, but in proportion to her popu-
'lation Ireland has more influence in
English and Scotch questions than
these other parts of the United King
dom have in Irish affairs. Because,
Ireland, under the terms of the Act
of Union (18OI must have at least
one hundred members in the British
parliment,

portunity demands it.
2. 1t is not deserved. In the very
same issue and on the same page of
the Capital News that tells of the or
ganization of the Friends Of Irish
Freedom" there is statement from
DeValera, the leading agitator Of "the
cause" in this country, which con-
dennis the whole outfit of friends"
In speaking of the great war, he said:
1--WE wanted to DE neutral in the war.
We had our own war on" To be neu-
trail in the late great struggle q man
had to be either a knaye or fool.
When the finest sons of earth were
spilling their blood to rid the world of
its greatest tyrant, what right has any
man to come to this country and say:
"We wanted to be neutral?" That
statement itself is enough to condemn
and damn the Irish Republic" But
that is not all. eve had our own war
on" What does he mean? He can
hardly mean anything other than the
Irish Rebellion which was launched at
a time when Russia was sorely press
ing Germany and when the British
were in the midst Of a desperate
struggle with the Germans in France.
In other words, he refers to the fact
that the Irish Republic did everything
in it's power at the most critical time
to hinder our allies and help the Ger
mans How different the attitude of
Ulster, which is opposed to Home Rule
When the war was declared in 1914 a
Home Rule bill was awaiting enforce
ment in Ireland. Ulster raised an
army to resist it. Within few days
of the declaration of war against Ger
many and the decision of the British
to do no more in connec-
ton with Home Rule until after the
war, a company of Ulster Volunteers
trained to fight agaist the British
if needs be, came, and
without a single exception offered
their services. Can the British Gov
recognize the traitors and
refuse the men who fought side by |
side with English, Scotch, Canadian,
French, American and other allied
