GOV. aRoueH -vINpIcArep

In a speech delivered in Boston the other night Secretary of War Baker said he knew of m invention that was being perfected which would en able men to drop electrically-contr ed bombs containing 500 pounds of ex plosives upon unprotected cities 150 miles distant These implements, he said. would kill thousands.
 This must be a~tNiu sister to that wonderful bomb abcut which Gov. Brough talked upon his return from Washington about a year ago. The governor had held some secret con ferences with the scientists who were developing destructive agencies for use in the war, and they told him confidentially they had perfected | bomb that would destroy every living thing within a radius of fifteen or twenty miles, and that the poisonous gases would continue to float around for several days in every direction and reap another harvest of victims fin adjoining townships, or words to that effect. According to the govern or, who had been told these things in strictest secrecy. the war would be won within thirty days after the United States brought this weapon into play. and the only reason this government was holding back was because the allies did not dare in troduce such an agency of de struction into this lady-like war. ex- cept to save the world for democracy.
 A few hypercritical citizens did not swallow the governors bomD story and secuted the idea that any such weapon had been invented It must certainly be very gratifying to the governors friends and admirers to know that the statement made in Boston the other night by Secretary Baker indirates the Arkansas execu- tive was at least within long range of the truth, which is saying good deal for a man with keen imagina- tion and a consuming propensity for exaggeration.

A DIRTY TOWN


 If there is a town in Eastern Ark ansas that can boast of any more filth than can Marianna the sanitary authorities ought to run II through a gigantic dipping vat and hang ii out in the san to dry until next fall And after completing that job the Old Dutch Cleanser crowd will find a full seasons work ridding Marian ma of her trash, debris. garbage heaps and other refuse that menaces public health. mars the beauty of the city and maximixes the fire hazards.
 The streets are Uttered with brick bats. pieces of wood. rakings from wards. broken glass and tin cans. The alleys are filled with decayed re- fuse that emit unpleasant odors in warm weather The back premises Of the business houses are almost blocked with barrels, boxes, cartons, paper, excelsior and other waste. Ash heaps appear like ancient Indian mounds, giving sections of the city a prehistoric tinge. Banana peelings, peanut hulls, pop corn waste, paper bags and wrappings are strewed on the sidewalks and in the gutters on Saturdays and remain over Sunday fo worship with the denizens.
 The city authorities, with the lim- ited means at hand. do try to keep the business streets reasonably free from filth and in measure they sue ceed in keeping them semi-respectable a portion of the time, but practically no attention is paid to outlying streets. to the alleys and to the back premises of the business district Garbage cans are placed at strategic points in the business section. but apparently most people regard them as ornaments, not to be defiied.
 The city has ordinances against all these abuses, and sporadicaily they are enforced, but there is nc continuous inspection of premises and so far as we know there have been no prosecutions for violating the sanitary code. although the erdi nances designed to protect pabii' health are daily being violated
 With the approach or sprlng ane summer more attention should b, given to these matters If the cit, has not established regular dump ing ground for garbage, it should d' so at once. Complaint has been made by farmers that some merchants, il order to reduce the expense of hay ing garbage earted away, get farm CTS to haul load out of town fo dime. and usually the farme dumps the garbage in the first con venient field he reaches. This bringi a protest from the man who owns th' land and does not make him fee kindly toward the merchant wh' sends his garbage to the rural dis tricts to be disposed or.

WHY POSTMASTER RIGGS, OF LA TOILETTE, TENN, RENDERED
 HIS RESIGNATION

Dr. A. M Riggs, described as "a prominent business man and post master here" in a special dispatch from La Toilette, Tenn, to the New York Herald, has followed the ex- ample recently set by Mir. McAdoo and continued by several other gov ernment officials. In brief, Dr. Riggs has given up his government work because there isn't money enough in it. Goaded into action by a letter from the post office department ask ing that he resign unless he could devote all his time to the business of the office, ex-Postmaster Riggs wrote and forwarded the following firm epistle to John C. Rooms. First Assistant Postmaster General at Washington:
 Sir.
 Your kind favor of the 14th inst. received. informing me that now the war is over and consequently less demanded of its loyal citzens, the government can now manage to wag along without my services as post master at La Toilette. Tenn, unless I devote my entire time to the of flee. Therefore,

THE FOOD ADMINISTRATOR

After tomorrow the food admins tration in Lee county will be thing of the past-only memory. J. NJ. Hewitt, the administrator, has serv- ed his government with zeal. patriot ism and with an impartiality in the administration of his office that has won high praise from his superiors. Even with the splendid co operation :ha :sssaaa was given the food administrator here, the job has been most un- pleasant one, carrying with it no praise from the masses, no emolu- ments and no privileges-just great pile of details calling for the hardest kind of work In the rigid enforce ment of the regulations governing the distribution of food supplies the administrator was forced to invoke the penalties on number Of mer- chants and very naturally this was attended with feelings far from pleas ant on the part of those who had violated the rules. It took man with a high sense of his obligation to the government to face unflinch ingly the ire of those who felt they had been imposed upon. MT. Hewitt deserves commendation for the ex cellent manner in which he conduct ed the affairs of his office, for his long suffering and patience in the face of unjust criticism, for the fail and impartial manner in which he enforced the regulations and for his high devotion to his country during the crisis that has just passed
