SPRING

OFRlNG
AS March leads forth across the 1eas
There in the fields is the melted
snow
The brown buds thicken on the trees
And ere many days will sweetlv
blow. ee.-'F
. come, come Spring
The joyful birds will sing
Down by the side of the old mill
Where the daffodils are high on the
hill.
Spring comes but once a year
The time of gladness and good
cheer.
How the bluebirds and frogs do sing
0, there is nothing better then
spring.
Unbound the icy streams
Open the tiny leaves so warm and
wet
And 10! from the wild and windy
spring
Blooms the first blue violet.

TEXAS GOVERNOR ADVISES BROUCH
 OF HIS ANXIETY

Little Rock, July 11.-Governor Brough was received the following message from Gov. w. P. Hobby of Texas:
 Knowing the Mexican situation as I do and believing that some action by the United States government with reference to conditions in Mexico and along the border will be necessary in the future, l view with alarm the action of the war depart ment in demobilizing and discharging all officers of the National army, which will practically wipe cut the air service. To my mind it is inn perative that congress make some provision for a continuance in service of reasonable number of the Ma tional army officers until a perman- ent military policy has been estab- l'shed as it would be impossible to get those trained officers upon whom the government has spent millions of dollars especially in the aviation brance, back into service after being discharged"
 In response to 8 request that he wire our senators and representatives of Arkansas to lend their aid in this matter, Governor Brough sent the following:
 Wire from Governor Hobby ex- presses concern over Mexican situa- tier. Please give matter your ser ious consideration"

League Opponents In Senate COnfers

 President Wilson, having delivered the treaty to the senate and offered to supplement it with all the informa- tion in his possession, apparently put the matter temporarily out of his mind.
 He saw none of the senators who had been active in the fight, and while he conferred with Acting Sec retary Polk at the state department it was understood other subjects fur nished the basis of their discussion Whether the presidents offer is to be accepted by the foreign relations com mittee remained on an open question

Saves $45O in Two
 Years on $2 a Day

That Pine Bluff laborer, earning $2 day, has saved $450 in two years of unprecedented high prices, is a story related in the July issue of the Merchants and Planters Review. Here's the story as related:
 "A prominent mill operator called at the bank the other day andn open ed an account for one of his employees, depositing for him $4!50. lnciden- tally, he told us story, which is in fact bit of history about the indi- vidual for who mhe made the deposit. We have not the permission to pub fish the real name of the depositor, but in all details the story is based on actual factts.
 "Two years ago, man about sixty years of age walked into the office of Mir. - and asked for job. Men were scarce, and while this man had no experience at saw mill work, he was given a job at two dollars day. He had wife and was given the use of house at the plant without rent. He has since worked an average five days week, and his income has been the same-two dollars day. En- tirely dependent upon his own two hands. this man has, during the past two years, supported himself and his wife and saved the sum of $4.50. Yet we hear the complaint most every day from people whose income is many times that amount THAT THEY CAN NOT SAVE! We know man whose income is $500 a year, and he tells us that it takes 1t all to live-and here we have a man on a wage of two dollars day, saving four hundred and fifty dollars in two years time, and in this age of High Cost of Living! Can you picture the difference in these two individuals, when the winter time' of life has incapacitated them for work One a happy contented individual, living in his own home-and monument to his and his good wife's prudent manage ment with a snug little sum in the bank to keep the wolf from the door. i The other, probably dependent upon charity, or relatives, for support.
 Our friend, the mill manager, as sures us that his thrifty employe does not stint or starwe himself but has plenty of wholesome food. and to all appearances he and his wife are hap py and contented. His getting ahead" is no doubt due to a careful adjustment of income and expense. "
