DEFENSE OF THE Y.
Chairman of the Finance Committee
Makes Public Statement.

George w. Perkins, chairman of
the finance committee of the Y. NJ. O..
A., has made public his official
report as investigator into the effici-
ency and service of the organization
overseas.
He went abroad with Mortimer L..
Schiff, E. S. Brockman and John K.
Hall when criticism of the Y. NJ. c. A.
was being voiced in this country and
returned to make his report last
week.
"The Y. NJ. C. A. undoubtedly made
mistakes" Mr.. Perkins said, but
what it tried to do was to respond to
every call that the army made On it.
It did not side step any task that it
was asked to perform"
Indicating the care with which men
and women Y. NJ. C. A. workers were
selected for overseas work. Mr.. Per-
kins reported that out of 10000 can
didates 10000 were sifted out and
considered in New York but finally
only 1929 were sent to Europe
Last month the organization had in
Europe 5,693 men and 2,657 women
workers.
That the Y. NJ. C. A. workers as a
whole were brave and unselfish is
shown by the fact that 1 4 secretaries
were killed and 126 others were
) wounded, he said.
Regarding the charges of protiteer-
ing in supplies, Mr.. Perkins's report
said:
zone day we could get supplies
sent on a government boat without
freight charges. The next day the
only way to send them was to pay al
most as much freight as the goods
cost. 1t will be readily seen that it
was almost impossible to arrive at
anything like an average cost price
at which to sell these goods.
esThe Y. NJ. G. A. never solicited
money for the purpose of giving away
its canteen supplies. The statement
has been frequently made that the Y.
M. c. A. charged higher prices for
canteen supplies than the army did.
This was true at certain periods when
the cost of. transportation was ex-
ceedingly high and when it was i'm
possible to determine costs accurate
ly. But the final result of the Y. NJ.
C. A.. canteen service will show a
substantial loss
ttsThe Y. NJ. CA. handled in France
alone upwards of 100000 packages
of cigarettes, 100000 bars Of
chocolate, 100000 cigars, co.
100000 cans of jam, 29,000,o00
packages of chewing gum and 10,-
I 000, 900 packages Of candy.
teThese are only few Of the items
handled but the size Of these figures
should convince anyone that it would
be financially impossible for the Y.
M. C. A. to give its supplies away
generally. Furthermore, the army
does not favor any such policy.
s'On March 1 of this year, the Y.
M. c.. A. had in use in France SGT
buildings erected by itself, 5s6 under
lease and 1872 centers in tents and
army buildings. More than $780,
600 athletic articles were given to
soldiers in 1918 and 1919"

A Cruel Pun.

The great Scottish lawyer and
jurist, Lord Erskine, was as famous
for his sharp tongue as for his learn
ing, and he rarely denied himself.
Councillor Lamb, an aged barris-
ter, of very timid and nervous dis
position, was accustomed to preface
his pleadings with an apology to that
effect, says the Argonant, and on one
occasion, when opposed to Erskine,
he began by remarking that che felt
himself growing more and more tim
i'd as he grew older
*'No WONDER" replied the relent-
less barrister. Everyone knows
the older a lamb grows the more
sheepish he becomes"

She stood now to the entrance to the

Mrs. Biggs was amazed.

The keepers eyes twinkled.
"Perhaps so, ma'am! It may seem
a small piece to you, but it's heaps

ASSESS BENEFITS TO PROPERTY IN
 ROAD DISTRICT
Assessments Range from S19 to $26 Per Acre in District
 No. II.

Following an agreement as to the value of betterments to property in Road Improvement district No. IA, comprising between 5000 and TO- 900 acres of land across the river, it is expected that the contract for the construction of about 52 miles of road in this district will soon be let.
 The assessors, Asa Watson, John W. Gibson and Earl Wright met in the office of the attorneys for the office of the attorneys for the dis trict, Caldwell, Triplett and Ross, and agreed that betterments would be fixed at $26 per acre for land in the first zone, S22.50 per acre for land in the second zones, and $19 per acre for land in the third zone. This will apply to all land in the district.
 This district, instead of building one road, will build network of roads. Beginning at the free bridge, the road will go few miles north, when it will branch off to within few miles of Pastoria, following a route along the Arkansas river thru some very rich agricultural land. The main road will go from the free bridge to the Lonoke county line, pass ing near Sherill, through Tucker and Ferda. A branch vii run from near Tucker to the state convict farm to the east with another branch to

the west which will extend to point near the river, and then turn north through Plum Bayou and reach the county line at or near the point where the main road reaches the county line, connecting there with the Lon oke highway Under this system of highway, no resident of the district will be more than three miles from one of the new roads.
 The bonds which will be issued by this district have been sold to w. R. Compton and company, of St. Louis, at what is said to be the best price offered for any improvement district bonds in Arkansas in recent years. The bond buyers have agreed to pay 77 mills above par for the bonds which will bear 5 1-2 per cent inter- est. The amount of bonds to be is- sued will be between $350,000 and $50OOO0 the amount to be determin- ed by the commissioners later.

French Goddess Of Liberty.

The Goddess of Liberty was created by the French convention in 1793, and was enthroned by a public ceremonial It is not known who personated the goddess on the occasion, but probably she was dressed in the French tri. color, red, white and blue, with cap and flowing skirt of classic design. The French liberty cap was red, the Ameri- can is blue, with border of gilt stars on white. The figure of Liberty on the early American coins had loose hair, tied behind, sort of free and easy gown. with tow neck and short sleeves and sandals without heels.

Losing the temper takes all the sweet. pure feeling out of life. One may get up in the morning with a clean heart, full of song. and start out as happy as bird. and the mo. ment he is crossed and gives way to temper the clean feeling vanishes: and load as heavy as lead is rolled upon the heart.

 Our scheme of taxation is hardly fair to progress and thrift, nor con- ducive to home ownership. The man whc builds is penalized for his con- tribution to the upbuilding of the city, while the land owner who assesses his property for about one tenth of what he asks for it escapes paying his share of government ex- penses and reaps the benefit of the progressive mans investment. There isn't a chance to change the taxing system of the state, but Pine Bluff can put a premium on progress tax ing the privilege of holding unim- proved property in the city.

LEST WE FORGET.

One of the gentlest and yet most powerful preachers of the Gospel in America, known and beloved by mil lions personally or by reputation, is pr. George w. Truett of Dallas, Tex.
 In recent address, in which he referred to his experiences in Europe he made some striking statements, few of which the Biblical Recorder of Raleigh, N. C., published with statement that while Dr. Truett was delivering his great speech in Atlanta, the writer caught few sentences, which he is passing on to the readers of the Recorder" Among these sentences thus saved for the benefit of humanity, because Dr. Truett was speaking without notes, are the following:
 'sThe sanctity of womanhood is worth dying for. was reliably in- formed that the Germans took 10000 Belgian girls and subjected them to unspeakable outrages. If those girls had been forced to stand in line, and each had been thrust through with bayonet, that would have been heaven compared to the hell which they were forced to endure.
 Childhood is worthy of dying for. l have been where children do not laugh. That is one of the saddest sights have ever seen.
 "The freedom and honor of the United States are worth dying for.
 Gods hand turned the Hun back from the gates of civilization"
 Dr. Truett is right in saying that the three things he mentioned are worth dying for-the sanctity of womanhood, childhood and the free dom and honor of the United States, says the Manufacturers Record.
 When tempted, as many are, to forget some of the crimes of Ger many, and to think of that unrepent- ant nation with some appearance of sympathy, let the statements of Dr. Truett's speech concerning the 20,- 900 Belgian girls sink deep into your heart and then think of those regions where children do not laugh" be- cause the crimes of Germany have destroyed the power of childhood to laugh.
 Christ said that it were better than millstone were hanged around mans neck and he be drowned in the sea than that he offend, one of Gods little ones.
 Shall we be wiser or more merciful to nation who has committed these fearful crimes against childhood than the Son of God Himself?

The department of agriculture says there no longer is need to save beef and wheat, and that the high retail prices of meat are not justified. All this may be true, but-in the mean. time, we are compelled to eeonomize on meat because we cannot get the retailer to see the situation from the agricultural departments standpoint and pocketbooks hereabouts are not not equal to the strain of supplying all the meat we'd sometimes like to eat.
