 LIVE STOCK PLANNED

The saving of two million dollars worth of stock that is needIessIy kill ed by railroads in Arkansas each year would appear to be movement we'll worth while. It is one of the canl- paigns that is being carried on by the State Council of Defense, which, in- cidentally, is planning TOT permanent cy upon some basis to be agreed upon.
 The railroads are assisting the Council in the work, ana bearing the expense of the educational campaign, the beneficial results of which are already apparent. The movement was originated in Arkansas, and has been taken up by other states through the Councils of Defense, with the purpose of making it nationwide move ment.
 Official figures compiled show that during the year there was total of 2,O00 head of stock killed on the railroad rights of way m Arkansas, largely through the carelessness of owners in permitting their stock to run at large or in leaving gates open so that they can get on the right of way Such a loss represents a total of 6,000,000 pounds of beef, pork and fats enough to have furnished nour1sn- ment for 100000 men for a period of one month.

BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY NOT IN

Sometimes a catch phrase, or an ingenious bit of slang contains wealth of philosophy not to be found in tedious text books. Melodies of Mother Goose" are full of vital truths and England evolved two of the great philosophies, one in the never dying advice of Punch to those about to marry Don't which has never had any effect on vital statistics, and the other the result of a newspaper con test in which the prize went to the best answer to the domestic problem of how to keep Cnes husband at home and good natured-eFeed the blute''

UPWARD TREND OF
 PRICES OF LIVING
REPORT OF INDUSTRIAL CON- FERENCE BOARD SHOWS BIG
 GAIN IN FAMILY BUDGET.

The preliminary report of the Ma tional Industrial Conference Board just issued tells what the fuctua- tion in cost of living has been since 1914. A more complete report will be sent out later. It is interesting to note that while there has been ;i general increase in living expenses between July, 1914, and November, 1918, of 65 to 70 per cent between E and 20 per cent of this increase has occurred between June and No vember of 1918. Of the individual items that made increases, clothing topped the list with gain of 93 per cent with food articles a close sec-e ond with gain of S3 per cent. Also the greatest individual advances were made by clothing prices. The increases were sometimes as much as 1855 per cent above that of July, 1914.
 The increases in cost between July, 1914. and November, 1918, of the. separate items entering into the family budget were:
The Pulaskian., 1919-01-24

the case of women's blouses to 1857 per cent in the case of mems overalls. November, 1918, prices were requested for goods selling at a spe- cified price in 1911 in order to mini mize the variability as to quality
 Increases in the cost of woolen yard goods ranged from 964 per cent for poplin to 1915 per cent for serge, and those for cottons from S7.9 per cent for yoile to 264.4 per cent for percale.
 Mems and women's coats selling for S10 in 1914 cost from $19 to $20 in November, 1918, and suits retail ing at S15 in 1914 schowed an in- crease of about 75 per cent. Prices of knit underwear advanced nearly 130 per cent, while hosiery was 90 per cent to 95 per cent higher than in 1914 Mems shoes quoted at $3.50 in 1914 were frequently selling for S6 in November, 1918. and women's $3 shoes brought about $575. The average increases were 68 per cent and 90.5 per cent respectively.
 The largest advances in the prices of clothing were found in the case of heavy shirts and oyeralIs. Gar ments of the medium and finer cot tons like mems negilee shirts, wonl- ems blouses and muslin underwear increased on the average not much over 75 pier cent.
 Applying the percentages of in crease in price to the separate arti- cles composing representative cloth ing budgets, the average advance in the cost of clothing between July, 1914, and November, 1918, is estimat- ed at 93 per cent.

NOVEL IDEA AS TO RAILROAD
 MANAGEMENT.

Nathan l.. Amster, chairman of the Rock Island Executive Committee, has no use for railroad control by banking interests, for he had lively fight with them in his efforts to save the Rock Island property. He says he is convinced that the railroads will never again be operated as in- dividual segregated systems; they must be operated as one unit, wheth- CT under Government ownership, Government control, or by private owners, for in normal times unified operation will save the country ap- proximately $400.000,000 a year
 He is In favor of a trust, or finance committee, with q large capitaliza- ton which shall be owned by the railroads in proportion to their busi. ness and that company must do all the railroads in the future, and keep for the railroads the profits of such underwriting and the placing of se- curities.
 He hits a blow straight from the shoulder when he says that in the last 10 years, railroad investments did not show per cent on the capi- tal while companies controlling steel, copper, foods and other com modities, carried at a low rate by the railroads. were able to make sub stantial cash dividends. extra cash dividends, and stock dividends. Rail- roads were entitled to their share of the prosperity, but were not allowed to have it.

AGAIN THE SEEMINGLY iMPossl-
 BILE HAS BEEN DONE.

II isn't so long ago that if some prophet had come out of the wilder ness and blazed broadcast that a man would run stores in which every article sold brought 5 or 10 cents and no more, and would in 12 months take in from those stores more than S1O7, .OOO, said prophet would have gotten off easily if all he got was skeptical derision. Yet the Woolworth Company did, in 1918, take in from it's stores, HOW number ing 1,OsS, $175.479 more than $107- 000,000
 In 1912 the gross earnings were Se0, 557.707, and there was growth in ever year thereafter, the largest being in 1916 and 1917, when it ex- ceeded $11,0OO.O0O compared with the previous year.
 Earnings on the common stock of the company have increased from a little less than $9 per share in 1912, to a little over SIS m 1918. and the dividends paid on the common have risen from s2 in 1912 to $8 in 1917- 1918.
 Perhaps there never was a better illustration of the terrific aggregate of little things. and perhaps this pe- culiar business is more noteworthy than the gigantic growth of the mail order houses, because their unit IS the $1 and not the humble nickel and dime.

THE WORLDS WAR DEBTS.

THE WORLDS WAR DEBTS.
 Mechanics & Metals National Bank of New York, in it's current monthly letter, brings out the fact that the gross debts of the seven great nations, have jumped since Au- gust 1, 1914, from $27 7,900 100000 to S194, 1000, ,000,000, to which will be added other war debts incidental to readiustment.
 Great Britain's debt in 1914, was a mortgage of per cent on it's wealth. Now that mortgage is A per cent. Germany in 1911 was mortgaged 6 per cent; now nearly 50 per cent. Austria is mortgaged 50 per cent France and Russia for 45 per cent each, and the United States for only 8 per cent.
 One of the almost inspired sugges- tions, which sometimes came in times of need, has been made in re- gard to the Fifth Liberty Loan, or Victory Loan, and that is, that tho people be given the right to take over our loans to all our allies, in- stead of being invited to subscribe for more United States bonds. There are, of course, complications involv- ed, but the whole matter could be quickly solved by that old device of participation certificates, which are going to be in general use in this country before long, to help along the small investor.
 Suppose the United States Coy ernment issued certificates of partici- patton in the more than eight bil lion dollars of debts due to us by the Allies, and guaranteed them princi- pie and interest, which guarantee would make them the same thing as a Government bond. Said certificates of participation bear a higher rate of interest than the Liberty Loans, and yet not so high a rate of interest as is paid by the debtor allied nations
 Then we would have net public debt which everybody could under stand, a new and extraordinarily good investment security, which would open the way to foreign in vestors, because they knew little or nothing about them.
 The idea is really brilliant one, and the carrying out of it is feasible

An enjoyable social gathering com plimentary to Rev. and Mrs. D. c. Lindsay, took place Thursday even ing at the home of MT. and Mrs. c. c. Newham on Woodiawn avenue.
 MT. Lindsay was formerly Presby- terian camp pastor at Camp Pike, and at the close of the war was stationed at Camp Cody, N. M., as chaplain, holding the rank of first lieutenant. During his service at Camp Pike he also supplied the pulpit of the Pulas- Ri Heights Presbyterian church, and now returns to the church as it's pas tor in response to a call recently made to him. Before coming to Little Rock he held a charge at Piggott, Ark. Many friends welcome him to his new work on the Heights.

The budget of the average work ingman's family, according to care full investigations by Government and other agencies, is distributed among the different items approxi- mately as follows: Food, 43 per cent of the total; shelter, IS per cent; clothing, 13 per cent; fuel and light, 6 per cent; sundries, 20 per cent. Alp plying the percentages of increase up to November, 1918, as indicated by the boards study, to these re- spective items, the average increase in the cost of living as a whole is 65,9 per cent.
 If food be alocated as much as 45 per cent of the total family out lay, rent and clothing, 15 per cent each, fuel and light, per cent, and sundrieds, 20 per cent, the increase in the total budget, using the ascer- tained percentages of increase for the separate items, would be 68.1 per cent. Or, if food be taken as repre- senting 40 per cent, shelter, 20 per cent, clothing, 15 per cent, fuel and light, 6 per cent, and sundries, 19 per cent. the total increase would be 649 per cent. With practically any other reasonable arrangement of the budget of the average wage-earner's family the indicated increase in liv- ing costs during the war period is 65 per cent to 70 per cent. For fami- lies just at or below the minimum of subsistence level the increase is probably nearer the higher figure.
 It should be recognized that uo single average will apply to all com munities or to all families in the same community. The increase here shown is, however. broadly represen- tative In certain communities where there were abnormal increases in rent, the estimate for the entire bud get would have to be raised some what. As each per cent increase in rent adds about i per cent to the budget as whole, this adjustment can easily be made. Local variations in the cost of fuel would have only slight effect on the complete budget
 Information secured from 112 re- tail stores in 46 cities throughout the country indicated that average prices of common articles of wearing apparel had advanced since July. 1914, all the way from 64 per cent in

him all the resources Of the republic

that the strike in Argenita is part
of an anarchistic movement which
will. spread to the. United States and
other parts of the world unless sup
pressed Immediately. He blamed
Russian anarchists for fomenting the
strike. A number Of that ilk are
known to have been in the republic,
circulating among workingmen and
tanning the flames of discotent. He
said further that the Socialists have
withdrawn support from the strike.
General Dellepiane stated that his

now to. cope with the situation; but
he hopes for increased support.

The Twenty-Fifth Inf.
and Twenty-FOurth Inf
(By Serg't John G. Howard,
Hdd. Co., 25th Inf.)

The Act of Congress dated 'July
28th, 1866, added to the United
States Army nineteen regiments OF
Infantry of ten companies each, of
which four were composed of color
ed troops.
The Act of March Sd, 1869, provid-
ed for consolidation of the forty
five infantry regiments into twenty
i've. and also that the enlisted men
of the two regiments should consist
of colored soldiers. They are the
oath and 25th Infantry.
In sporting and athletic events
these two regiments have met and
contended for honors several times,
the last being October 18th, 1915, in
the City of Honolulu, Hawaii. Then
the Army Champions of Oahu play
ed out the football champions of the
Oath Infantry, with large crowds
cheering and roofing for both teams.
The score was five to naught in
favor Of the 25th Infantry.
On that day Philadelphia and New
York had nothing on Honolulu.
While the two big burgs on the main
land were getting ready for the
great World series, the Paradise of
the Pacific staged little one-game
series of its own, October Is, 1915.
