that it was the friend of organized
labor, but wanted to remind the
leaders of organized labor that this
is a republic "of, for and by the
people" and so long as this remains
true, the nation cannot and will not
submit to the arrogance of a class

government and the rest of the peo

The farmers demanded the return

Duty of Happiness

There are people in the world who
would, if they had the power. hang
the heavens about with Grape; throw
a shroud over the beautiful and life
giving bosom of the planet; pick the
bright stars from the sky; veil the
sun with clouds; pluck the silver
moon from her place in the firma,
ment; shut up our gardens and fields,
and all the flowers with which they
are bedecked; and doom the world
to an atmosphere of gloom and
cheerlessness. There is no reason
or morality in this, and there is still
less religion.
A benevolent Creator has eudow
ed man with an eminent capacity
for enjoyment-has set him in a
fair and lovely world, surrounded
him with things good and beautiful
and given him the disposition tO
love, to sympathize, to help, to pro
duce, to enjoy; and thus to become
and honorable and happy being
bringing Gods work to perfection
and enjoying the divine creation il
the midst of which he lives
Make man happy. ard his ac
tions will be happy too; doom him
to dismal thoughts and miserable
circumstances. and you will max,
him gloomy, discontented, morose
and probably vicious. Hence coarse
ness and crime are almost invari

College Education

There are times when manual
labor is highly paid and many high
ly educated men secure only q
pittance. One might think that
college education would be at a dis
count. Yet the colleges seem to
be opening this fall with large
classes
1t is fortunate that it is so. There
is great danger that the younger
generation will concentrate its en-
tire thought on the making Of
money. They teach good citizen
ship. high ideals OF community SER
vice.
Formerly the colleges produced
principally readers and thinkers and
men of philosophical and analyti-
cal turn or mind. They were famil-
lar with all the beauties of litera-
ture They were well trained for
such a profession as the law, and
able to make exact definitions of
fundamental principles. But when
it came to action, they had had no
training for it,
The colleges of to day should still
teach literature, that their gradu-
ates should have higher resources
than eating and drinking and sport.
But they should prepare their grad
yates to become men of action.
History should be emphasized per-
haps more than any other one
study. 1t is by familiarity with hu-
man experience that wisdom comes
History arouses ambitions young
men to follow the footsteps of the
great, and it helps them avoid fatal
errors.
l Young men who expect to 90 in
to business should be given care
fully prepared courses 10 economics
directed not by theorists, by men
who themselves have business ex-
perience. They should learn organ
ization, management. efficiency
methods. so that they could them
selves take charge of business en-
terprises Men who have this prac-
tical knowledge combined with the
high ideals and principles of Liberal
education. are what is wanted now
in the business world.

Sees Big Future ; for Homer Fields

That the Homer oil field is to be the biggest ever discovered is the opinion of J. A. L. Chic, who return ed from the Louisiana field yester- day. So impressed was MT. Ohio that he obtained leases on number of tracts of land within the area where oil is found. These tracts are located at different parts of the Hom- CT field, and in the Bull Bayou terri tory. MT. Chic was accompanied on his trip by J. F. Stewart, Cotton Belt conductor, and while in the field they witnessed the bringing in of a big producer, and also inspected the 3O,000 well recently brought in west of Homer. One of the late wells extends the proved territory about 15 miles toward the Arkansas line. Mir. Ohio and Mir. Stewart obtained several large blue prints of the diff ferent fields, which show at a glance the location of the wells in their rela- ton to cities and big producers
 These are displayed in MT. Ghio's of fices in the Citizens bank building.

Newspaper "Ads'' Foundation for
 Retail Business

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 4.-Newspa- per advertising and plenty of it is the foundation on which a successful retail business can be built, Jesse M. Joseph, Cincinnati advertising agent, told members of the advertisers and the retail divisions of the Associa- tions of Commerce and the Kiwanis Club at recent luncheon.
 MT. Joseph recommended that re- tail stores devote at least 75 per cent of their advertising appropriations to newspaper advertising. He point ed out by practical application to Mill waukee how newspaper advertising is elastic, in that it may be used for all kinds of publicity at almost any price; how 1t brings results within twenty-four hours; and how the psy- chology of the readers is such that they will respond more readily to the advertisements in newspapers than to almost any other form of ad- vertising.

Newspaper and Shop Window Ads"
 Discussed by Club

The social meeting of the Pine Bluff Ad club at the Hotel Pines at noon yesterday was featured by talks from members and visitors. Joe Kahn window trimmer for A. Bluthenthal, was visitor, and spoke on shop window advertising. Mir. Kahn's talk was received with deep interest by the members of the club. Louis Froug, proprietor of Froug's depart ment store talked on the preparation of newspaper copy. MT. Froug stressed two points which advertisers should bear in mind in the prepara- tion of newspaper copy. These two things should be featured in ev- cry newspaper advertisement, he said. The first was: Be specific; second, be truthful. As an illustra- tion, MT. Froug exhibited an adver- tisement which stated $1.50 shirts would be sold for SIPS. This was a1 illustration of a lack of the specific in the advertisement, he said. It told the reader nothing of the kind of shirt to be sold, nothing of it's qual- ity, and by the lack of the specific, readers are not fully impressed that the statements as to the original worth of the shirts are truthful.
 s. c. Alexander, president of the Merchants and Planters bank, spoke on salesmanship in business cores pondence. MT. Alexander showed that letters, just as persons, have personality, and that the personality of letter can often convert the reader just as a good salesman can sell a prospective customer.
 B. c. Fowles, president and mana ger of the Dixie Battery company, addressed the meeting on bringing new industries to Pine Bluff. He urged teamwork as the chief requisite for the effort to secure new industries. He illustrated his remarks by actual occurrences which came under his observation in Kingsport, Tenn, a little town which he described as twenty miles from nowhere" but which had the largest number of manufacturing plants for it's size of any town in the country.
 About 30 members attended the meeting, which was declared by mem- bers one of the most satisfactory yet held.

Bareback Riders
 Are Featured in
 Sells-FlOtO Show

What would the circus be without the stately white ring horses and the the visions in pink and gauge who pirouette on their backs? We'll, 1t would be something like the circus without the peanuts or the elephants or the blood-sweating behemoth, wouldn't it?
 In the ladies principal riding act of the Sells-F'loto and Champion Jack Dempsey circus, coming to Pine Bluff; Wednesday, November 12, one sees such riders as Miss Daisy Hodgini, Miss Stella Hobson and Miss Dollic Montgomery, leaping and somer- saulting atop the 'rosin-backs" as the bareback horses are termed.
 Perhaps you have often noticed the similarity in the costumes of the lady bareback riders and those of the ballet dancers. The similarity does not end with the costumes for daily the riders do any number of the ex- ercises of the ballet with the dancing girls of the spectacular extravaganza, The Birth of the Rainbow" the many hued pageant that opens the performances in the rings, on the stages and in the air. Six hundred people and 400 animals take part in this spectacle. Not only do these exercises add to the grace of the young ladies of the tanbark ring, but the steps are used in their acts. The three young riding stars named were at home on the backs of the ring horses in their toddling days. Formerly they would have been as Mademoniselle this and Senorita that but in these days of simplicity they use the plain and unaoorneo !.

Longshore Strike
 Again is Broken

New York, Nov. 6.-The strike of 40 ,00O longshoremen, which has tied up port activities here for several weeks, appeared to have been brok- en today.
 The deciding factor was the sur render of the "insurgent" strikers who promised Mayor Hylan yester- day that they would return today at the old rate of pay, pending a de- cision from the national adjust ment commission for a hearing.
 Steamship owners would not haz- ard guess today as to their ap- proximate loss. Early in the strike officials of the United States Ship ping board estimated a daily loss of s1,OO0,0OO to S1,500,000. On this basis the cost would be between s25,OO0,OO0 and $40,000,000.

Mrs. ShOnts Ready
 to Contest Claim of Other Woman

New York, Nov. 6.-The late Theodore P. Shonts, president of the Interborough Rapid Transit company, made a will in favor of his widow, Mrs. Milla D. Shonts, but the document cannot be found, according to petition filed by her today in surrogate's court here when she was appointed temporary administrative of her husbands estate.
 The will, which was drawn up in 1904, named her as sole beneficiary of the estate of traction head, valued at $474,00O, she said.
 Just before MT. Shonts died, his widow said, she learned he was about to make another will leaving the greater part of his property to a woman who was not related to him The second will has not been offered for probate, but if this action is talk en, it will be contested, Mrs. Shonts asserted.

Proper Food is
 Urged as Remedy
 for Adnacing Years

London, Nov 6.-Dr. Josiah Old field, known internationally as a physician and a writer, has publish ed prescription for keeping old age at bay.
 According to him it is not a ques. tion of an operation, but daily diet, which includes dandelion leaves, fowls eggs, grapes, lettuce, cows milk, watercress, honey and salads (uncooked.)
 "Old age," he says, lis largely caused by deposit in the blood ves- sels and cells of the body of waste matter. So by adopting a part fruit diet, a man, however old, may be- come young again, because every part fruit diet, man, however old, may become young again, because every cell in the body will be re- placed by new young cells"
 Dr. Oldfield considers that a nor nal person rightly fed should live from 90 to 105 years of age.

Sure Way To Get
 Rid of Dandruff

There is one sure way that never fails to remove dandruff completely and that is to dissolve it. This des- troys it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, or dinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
 By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely de- stroy every single sign and trace Of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have.
 You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop in~ stantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel hundred times better
 You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive, and four ounces is all you will need. This simple remedy has never been known to fail. adv.

GOV, HARDING SAYS COAL MINERS WON'T
 BE STARVED OUT
Tribunal Would Have Been Proper Means for Ending
 Troubles, He Declares.

Pittsburg, Kan, Nov. GA tribun- al to have considered the controversy between the coal miners and the operators, not forgetting the inter- ests of the public, would have been far better than a drive against the miners, Gov. W. L. Harding of low.,, said here this morning. The Iowa executive is here to make several addresses in connection with the convention of the Kansas State Teachers association.
 "I am not criticising the federal government" Governor Harding said. But the miners feel that the course followed has been unfair in placing the entire responsibility on them. It would have been better to have submitted the matter to tri- nunal that would have sought solu- ton considering not only the opera tors and miners, but the pubic IS well. The miners and the operators are organized and able to take care
 themselves. The public Is al sost helpless. That these two or 55zItl -at.oAs Ii. istls sometime act Tn e5f4cerG 'against tAe puDilc IS not na- possible. The operators maintaln luat the wartime regulations con- t.nue and the wage contract remains m force. But they have come out rom under the price fixing which was one phase of the wartime regulations and have raised the price u coal.
 ,.The government might as well nave taken the entire matter in land, deciding what is fair price -or coal as well as fair wage for ...e miners"
 The strike will not be ended by starving out the miners," Governor Harding said.
 Il have noticed that in my state most of the miners have cows and chickens and little patches of ground and they are prepared for a long siege"

English Active in
 Pennsylvania Now

Berne, Nov. 4.-The Rumanian Bureau states that newly formed English companies, backed by Eng lish banks, have begun operation in Pennsylvania. They have already bought a potash plant, iron mines, cement and glass plants and are now negotiating to purchase all the im- portant coal, gold and copper mines ln the country.
 The Kumanians welcome English interest and capital in TransyIvania and the Banat, which have been neg lected in the past years, owing to to lack of capital although there is plenty of natural wealth.
 American capitalists are also ob- taining important concessions in Ra- mania, especially in oil mines.
