pleased.
IT thank you," replied the Kid.
cit pleases me now to learn that at
one time I was good enough to de-
liver the goods. I regret I'm not
there now. 1t takes time to come
back, and I don't believe I could do
it."
Tommy Sheeran, who was seated
nearby, interrupted.
"Kid, l want to say that you were
the greatest little fighting machine I
ever saw explained Tommy, enthusi-
astically. "You were a great boy and
a regular fighter. I only wish there
were a few more of your kind in the
game today. 1t would be a pleasure to
attend the fights if we only had more
Kid Williamses in action"
The Loss
The Kid may be through, but there
is only one thing that seems to make
him depressed. That is-the loss of
his title.
AS he often half glanced in the di-
rection of Pete Herman, his dethroner,
who stood only few feet away, the
look, the expression of disappointment
was evident, The Kid coveted that
title, and with its loss went his fighting
heart.
1t was rather strange that both boys
should be at the ringside on the same
evening, but the fight was of sufficient
Importance to bring them out. The
Kid was there in the role of a spectator

fray will not forget what a beautiful
surprise was handed the visitor.
Herman was absolutely helpless, then

Herman has improved little since, but
he did not and has not advanced with

down the list, more important, the poll shows, than the Mexican pro- blem, but nevertheless of less con- cern than those mentioned above. Prohibition is rated far down the list, having ceased to be problem in itself and having resolved itself into a question of law enforcement. Anarchy and Socialism, so closely allied with Bolshevism, also are not reckoned as of paramount import ance.
 The poll may show nothing or it may show a great deal. It is cor rect in one thing-that labor is our greatest problem, and that the kindred subjects of Bolshevism and are of little less import. It is also to be noted that the value of such a poll is doubtful. It is not a diagnosis but cure and a preventive that the nation needs.

Alaska-tO-Siberia Mail Service Now
 is Being Planned

Nome, Alaska, Oct. 25.--Estab- lishment of direct mail and tele- graphic communication between Nome and Anadyr, Siberia, is now under investigation by two inspectors of the posto1fice department.
 The proposition, if carried ouv, bears large possibilities for this once wealthy gold camp. In Northeast Si- beria there are approximately 50,- 900 people who must provide the bulk of their supplies either from Nome, one hundred miles away, or from Petropavlosk, nearly a thousand miles distant. Nome, it is argued by officials interested in the govern ment's inquiry, should be the logical market for all of the vast area lying north of Kamchatka peninsula.
 By the close of this years navi- gation period, it is estimated, nearly $5OO,OO0 worth of American goods will have been carried from Nome to the Siberian coast, and that with only few small vessels engaged in ] the trade.
 Siberian furs in return for Amer ican goods seems to be the possi- bility of the future should the gov ernment's service be established. In addition, it is pointed out, this will result the closer relations between Siberians and residents of Seward Peninsula.

Blind Man Able
 to Find Gaming,
 "Seers" Can't See

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. 25:-Menl- bers of civic and church leagues who are making a concerted fight on coumercialized vice and gambling m this city, are seriously thinking CT asking the police commissioners to appoint several blind men to the po- lice and detective department as a result of an incident that occurred the other night and was witnessed by members of several organizations who were securing evidence to pre- sent to the police commissioners, ask ing that they make cleanup.
 They saw blind man come down the street in the district that is re- ported to have a number of houses of i'll fame and gambling joints. The man felt along the sidewalk with hls cane until he came to an opening that led to rear door of a build ing. He entered and later was knock ing for admittance. The door was opened and he seemed to pass mus ter, for he disappeared within.
 Persons acquainted with the dis trict allege that the place IS gani- bling hole and that the blind man is a regular visitor to the place. If a blind man can find gambling house as easily as that the police ought to have no trouble in picking them out," was the comment of the men who are seeking to have things corrected.

NOT DAMAGE ALONE.

Saddened by what they saw and heard in the steel manufacturing dis tricts of Pennsylvania, the commit tee of the United States Senate headed by Senator Kenyon is sad to favor law making knowledge of the English language compulsory, says the New York World.
 Legislation of this description would be like many other enactments designed to meet the same evil and which have amounted to nothing. The importation of alien contract labor was prohibited many years ago, ana yet witnesses for the employers tes- tified last week that the mills could not be and never had been operated without alien labor. It is not enough for the United States to say that im- migrants must learn English. There is no national system of education, and even if there were men who work 12 hours a day are not con- monly fond of night schools.
 The trouble is that labor is act ually recruited abroad; that on ar rival here is herded in camps and colonies where little English is spoken or required; that it fails un- der foreign influences in nearly all it's industrial and social activities. and that, so far as the people of the United States are concerned, it is neglected and forgotten until, through some injustice or responding to the indictment of agitators, it be- comes a menacing mass of ignorance and violence.
 Knowledge of English is not en. couraged by the steel masters and by many other employers who are quick to blame their troubles upor the very conditions from which they profit. Knowledge of English would be an incentive to good citizenship and to the realization of a highe, scale of living, but the fact is tha, almost insuperable obstacles are i'm posed against the immigrants learn ing English, and until these ob stacles are removed no fiat of con gress will avail nothing.

LABOR-GREATEST PROBLEM.

The Council of the National Econ- omic League, having membership of 2,500 representing every state in the union, recently took poll to determine the most important ques- tions before the American people to- day, and to arrange them in order of their importance.
 Needless to say, the poll showed that labor was rated as the nations greatest problem. Practically all of the delegates are agreed on this ob. vious point, and there is nothing surprising in the poll in this regard. In it is interesting, however, to note the arrangement of the other pro- blems in the order of their import. ance. It is also intended to find that the greatest problems we have today, as shown by this poll,-labor, Americanization and Bolshevism-- are related and are temporary pro- blems due to unusual economic con- ditions.
 Education, rated as the fourth greatest American problem, is not temporary one. It is one that we have always with us and which can be solved only through patient eff. fort.
 Following education the problems are rated in the following manner: Universal military training, taxa tion, immigration, efficient govern ment, foreign relations, reconstruc- tion, high cost of living, public health, foreign trade, freedom of speech and of the press, merchant marine. economic distribution and so on.
 The race problem is rated far

PUBLICITY GREATEST NEED.

The Chamber of Commerce board of trustees proposes the establish ment of a farming bureau. This would have been a good plan 15 years ago for the Chamber of Commerce, and would be now excepting that tt seems unnecessary.
 With the authorization by the Jef ferson county quorum court of the employment of our farm demonstra. ntio agents and two home demonstra tion agents, it would seem that ar engagements for development of the county's agricultural possibilities and increasing farm production have been well taken care of. It looks like organizing our efforts in one direc- tion.
 On the face of the situation it would seem that the Chamber of Commerce could better invest this money by accepting q modification of the suggestion made by Marvin E. Holderness, at the Chamber of Commerce's annual meeting recent ly. Mir. Holderness suggested q well-planned advertising campaign to "sell Pine Bluff" to thousands who are seeking just such opportunities as are here offered.
 Pine Bluff may not be able to pro- secute at this time as extensive an advertising campaign as was con- templated by MT. Holderness. But it can do this: Establish a publicity bureau, in charge of a competent newspaper man, and get before the people of Pine Bluff, the county, the state and the nation information of what is being achieved here.
 The agricultural agents can be de pended upon, to cooperate with the Chamber of Commerce in promoting the county's agricultural interests and in increasing production. An other bureau might provoke con- flict, just as it has at Little Rock.
 The results to be accomplished by the farm agents will be increased greatly thru the publicity good publicity director could obtain. And this department need not re. quire heavy investment at the start. A few advertisements, vel placed, will bring sufficient results t: "sell" the Chamber of Commerce members on the plan. Hundreds o1 lines of publicity in the news col umns of papers turnout the country can be obtained by good publicity man. There are numerous occurren ces and situations here to form the bases of news and feature articles which will attract favorable atten tion to Pine Bluff and Jetferso, county. Newspapers will not pay fol these, but many of them will uss

them if supplied with the material without cost to them, and the arti- cles are prepared in good shape.
 By keeping before the local public the accomplishments of the Cham Der, the achievements, the work and the advice of the agricultural and home demonstration agents, the pub licity director would make every de- partment of the Chamber of Com merce more effective and productive.
 An investment in a publicity bureau will bring greater results, dollar fol dollar, than any money nl.ested by the Chamber of Commerce.

The congressional resolution which seeks to determine why Pershing didn't go up into the front lines with the doughboys is typical of congress. If men like Pershing were as numerous as congressman and men of congressional calibre we could have afforded to send regi- ment into the front lines. As it was, the general was not needed in the front lines It would have been fool hardness if he had been placed any where where he might have been killed.

The attempt to align the farmers with organized labor is not intended to help the farmers. The farmers are appealed to because they are dis satisfied, and they too, happen to hold the whip hand at the present moment.

be formed aside from the league" Mr..
Balfour added, "the conference alone can

Military intervention in Russia on a
large scale is not to be thought Of, Mr..
Balfour declared The great powers were
doing everything they considered could
be done, however, he said in dealing
with what he characterized as "a most
disquieting situation"
As to the general work of the peace
conference, he declared tho peace max
ing body was making all possible haste
to settle upon the peace terms. He said;
''The fact that the problem of the so
eiety Of nations has been taken up be-
fore that of peace, properly SO called,
in no way signifies that the settlement of
our accounts with the enemy will only
come afterwards. The mechanism of the
commissions we have instituted permits
the concurrent study of several ques-
tons"
