 Assessors Appointed.
A s5oo,oo0 Improvement
Great Net Work of Roads Will Cover Western Part of C0unty-70
 Miles of Road.

D. Wal drop, Ashdown, as chairman, and D. A. Cook of Foreman, as secretary, and $. D. Matteson, Foreman, mepber, met at Foreman Thursday and completed the organization. Their first act after organization was to employ w. J. Parks, of Pine Bluff, as engineer. MT.

= PROFIT"

"Profiteering," says Attorney Gen
era1 A. Mitchell Palmer, in the Octo-
Der issue of The Nations Business,
has existed since the beginning of
commerce, but it was not until recent
years, and more particularly until the
conditions brought about by the great
war made it easy and common, that
the public mind became focused upon
it,"
"A profiteer, as the term is com
monty used, is not susceptible of ex-
act definition" says the attorney gen
eral. I'VE can not say that man
who makes 10, 20, 80 or more per cent
profit is profiteering. Anyone who
makes more than just and reason
able profit is a profteer. Whether he
does this must be separately deter
mined in each case, taking into con-
sideration the conditions of the local
fly the nature of the commodity and
the other facts relating to the particu-
lar transa ctiOn."

BOYCOTTS A LA ORIENTAL

Straw hats have been having a bad
time in China, when they were of Jap
anese makes. Chinese in enforcing
their boycott against everything Jap
anese because Of the rights the peace
treaty gave to Japan in Shantung,
snatched Japanese hats from anyone
who had the hardihood to wear them
when the heated season began. Jap
anese hats had become popular, too,
because of their cheapness.
Destruction was not enough for the
bOycOtters. The hats were executed
after the fashion the Chinese have
for bandits and other undesirables.
Remnants of rims and crowns were
nailed up in public places with warn
ings for any other Japanese hats that
might come that way.
The boycott was not confined to
hats, by any means. For a time it
developed into a general strike" of
Chinese merchants. They closed their
stores rather than sell goods against
which they had a national antipathy.
Folk of high and low estate there
upon discovered that merchants have
a real place in their lives; for the
procuring of the daily necessities of
life, with the shops closed, became a
very serious matter.

MORE WORK AND LESS TEARS

Demoralized productivity is the sit
uation in Europe which needs cure.
This is the gist Of a statement pre-
pared by Herbert Hoover for speciaa
purposes and made public by the
British ministry Of food. European
production is now far below the level
at the date of the armistice. Low
production of raw materials in Europe
itself, as we'll as difficulties in i'm
ports, aggravate a situation in which
IS 900 900 families on the continent
are receiving from governments I'M
employment allowances of one kind
or another. At rough estimate 1907
100000 persons in Europe must be
supported by imports.
For a short period the western
hemisphere may make good the def
ciencies of Europe, according to the
memorandum, but "the entire sur
plus of the western hemisphere is
totally incapable of meeting the pres
ent deficiency in European production
if it is long sustained"
The remedy is described as "vigor,
Gus realization of the actual situation
in each country of Europe and res
Olute craftsmanship based on such
realization. The population of Europe
must realize that productivity must
be instantly increased"

do not mean to hinder the progress
Of destiny, but are doubling Thomases,
with little confidence in their town,
their environment or themselves
They are so constituted that they must
be shown before they believe, and by
the time they are shown it is too late
to take advantage of opportunities
presented.
If every Alaska town would choose
the most optimistic man in it, levy
au assessment to provide him with
funds for advertising, and then pad
lock the pessimistic mouths and throw
the key into the well, good times
would be advanced from three months
to a year. Other persons hindering
the growth of a city are too mean to
want to see their neighbors get ahead.
They hold back in the harness and
need a liberal application of the CAD
of public disapproval to stimulate
them.
Valdez, says Editor Selby, has
fewer of these pests than other towns
that we know of. Our people pull to-
eether better than they have for years.
Adversely has cemented them to-
gether, but the faith which moves
mountains is not here. Our people,
or large portion of them, have to
be shown. They overlook our many
advantages by holding neighboring
towns too close to the eye. The seven
members of the city council can not
build a town without the help OF its
citizens. The chamber of commerce
can not pull settlers to our shores
without our people grabbing hold OF
the towline.
If you do not believe that Valdez
is the best town to live in in the ter
ritory, you are not Valdezan.

AMERICAN CROSSES OCEAN
Great Flying Feat Is Accomplished
BY Intrepid Naval Lleuten-

Washington. Blazing the way o.
the first air trail from the western 70
the eastern hemisphere, the United
States navy seaplane NC-4, under
Lieut.. Commander Albert Cushing
Read, arrived at the harbor of Lisbon,
Portugal, making the trip In the first
airship of any kind to cross the At
lantic ocean under its own power and
through It's natural element.
Taking the air at Ponta Delgada,
Azores, at 6:1S am, Washington
time, on the last leg of the trans
oceanic portion of the voyage from
Rockaway Beach, Long Island, to
Plymouth, England, the NC-4 covered
the 500 miles in nine hours and 43
minutes, maintaining an average
speed of better than so knots an hour.
The total elapsed flying time from
Newfoundland to Lisbon was rs hours
and Al minutes.
Four navy seaplanes entered in the
great contest of endurance, but the
NC-4 was the only one to hold out and
win. Engine trouble and adverse
weather conditions caused the other
planes to drop out of the flying con.
test.

that the league of nations covenant
