LITTLE ROCK LETTER

Little Rock, Aug. 2.-Anothel week and it will all be over except the count-and the explaing. An other important after-thought that will hurt the feelings of eight can diates for governor and numerous other aspirants for office will be the paying. It has been an ex- pensive campaign, and rare good Judgment has been shown by all the candidates in the liberal use of newspaper space for reaching the voters. Advertising bills this campaign have been the largest ever known in the state. Turn on the light" has been the policy, and very often it has been pitilessly ob- served.
 Who will win in the elction next Tuesday nobody knows. One .ob- server is as much entitled to his guess as another. Within few days of the finish any prediction that is made, particularly with ref erence to the governors race, must necessarily be wild and reflecting personal bias. This is the truth, whatever mathematical athletics may be employed in arriving at pre- determined result.
 It is probable that there will be from 150,00O to 180,OO0 votes cast, which will include probably, 20,000 women votes. If this estimate is correct, with nine candidates in the field, and three or four of them punched toward the lead, 35,000 to 10000 will be sufficient to nominate the man who will succeed Governor Brough. Any candidate who can carry an average of 800 votes to the county will be one of the most formidable contenders for the nom- ination. And there are least three who may well be considered in that class. Pick them out yourself. It is not safe for an impartial observ- CT to do so. He might pick the wrong ones and then the winner would never forgive him, and the losers would swear that the politi- cal forecast was what defeated him.
 There are certain well-known con ditions that are safe for neutral to discuss.
 Tom J. Terral, secretary of state, was the first to enter the race and he has been making a thorough can vass. His friends claim the nomi- nation for him by an easy plurality. His two-page speech, "The People Should Know the Truth" many thousands of which have been dis tributed over the state during the last week. This has been one of AL A1l nf 1oya axafc m the campaign.
 Probably that which has attract ed the most attention has been the statement issued by Gov. Brough re- nouncing and denouncing Smead Powell, and calling upon the people of the state to defeat him for the nomination. Powell retorted that he expected this, and that he had never sought and did not desire the governors support. While the gov ernor's friends and a Little Rock daily paper that has been fighting Powell think the governors action will defeat the Ouachita candidate. Powell and his friends think that it will work to his advantage.
 Powell's friends claim for him that he will be the majority nomi- nee, and that he will receive as many votes as the next two candi- dates.
 Col. McRae is admitted by all to be a very strong man. His cam paign has been quite general and has been free from much of the personal rancor that has character ized those of some others. His friends cliam that his success is as

sured-
 The friends of Floyd have figur- ed it out geographically and polite ally and claim there is no way to defeat him,-that he will get all of North Arkansas and enough in ene- my territory to give him at least 6O.000,000 votes. It is said that Floyd and McRae will draw largely from the same element.
 John A. Riggs, whose multi-color- ed car has flashed across the state for months with it's motto of "God First, Arkansas Next, is relying up- on the vote of the women to give him the nomination, since he was the Father of Suffrage" in the Ar kansas legislature.
 Harry Walsh say that he consid- er's his chances as good as any, body's, since there are so many vo- ters who agree with him in the stand he has taken in favor of more liberal construction of the law on Sunday amusements.
 Col. Stroupe was the last to get into the race, and he is depending largely upon the soldier vote.

 Candidates at Amity." This striking headline appeared in an Arkauelphla paper last week. 1t did not mean that the millennium had come. It was only an announce ment of a political meeting at the hustling little town of Amity.
 A southwest Arkansas paper pub fishes a notice for bids for the keeping of paupers for the year 1921, and adds by way of paren- thesis as happy after-thought, eff there be any" As a matter of fact there are few counties in the state that have any paupers. It is
 
 the general prosperity of the state. The poor house is no longer a fa- miliar institution in Arkansas. The occasion for it has passed. Aims houses are not needed to take care of the few paupers left in the state.
 With two ex-congressmen, one state officer, one newspaper pub fisher, one ex-soldier, one drum mer. two lawyers and one preacher in the running. the people of Ar kansas should have no trouble in selecting the right kind of a man for governor in the election next Tuesday. Those who have imagined that the lawyers are running the country have an opportunity to se- lect a representative of some other calling.
 The lineup for members of the general assembly did not develop until the eleventh hour. For sev- eral years the office holders and place seekers have not been run ming over themselves especially in seeking legislative honors. As a rule they are holding off until the last minute to see how few will enter the race. The office pays so lttle-only $360 and mileage,-the expenses of a campaign are so great and the rewards of the posi- tion so problematical, and annoy ances so great, that even the chron- ic office-holders are shy of this par ticular office.

MUsHER RETURNS
 FROM KoTzEBUE

Joe McArthur returned from trip to the Kotzebue section Thursday bringing large load of the peculiar fish known as "shee" for the Milo Cafe. The Since fish is famous thru out the Kotzebue region and further Nor.h and is considered superior to any food fish found in Alaska waters by those who have sampled them. So far as known the fish is found nowhere in the world outside of the waters ex- tending along the extreme Northern coasts of North America and in few adjacent lakes and streams.
 McAr.hur left Nome about six weeks ago and reports q hard trip northward owing to the general soft travelling conditions at tha. time. The lagoons were found open everywhere along the route and numerous wide detours were frequently necessary.

MOUNTAIN OF GRAPHITE
 IN sAWTooTH's

That there is an actual mountain of Graphite With immense quantities of the. mineral in sight in the Sawtooth Mountain near Salt Lake, is the dec lara!ion made by c. J. Peterson, a well known prospector and miner who returned Thursday from a three months stay in that locality. Peter son ard Dad" Stenple performed the annual assesesment work on the pro- perties of the Pacific Graphite Pr,- ducts Syndicate during their stay and had an excellent opportunity to ex- anime the deposit thoroughly. Peter son says there is enough graphite in sight to supply the world. The Pa cific Syndicate owns twelve claims and all are said to abound with gra- phite ore. Ledgcs of the mineral are to be seen on every side and are un- doubtedly of immense potential value
 The presence of graphite in the Salt Lake region has been known for yea rs ana small quantity has been mined. The general inaccessibility of the re. zion and the high transportation rates, have made profitable mining difficult, however, and none of the deposits Glave been worked on q commercial scale. Samples of the mineral sen. toe the states for testing purposes has shown that the graphite compares very favor ably with thep roduct of the Mexican mines from which the largest par. of the mineral used in the United States is derived.

NATIONAL HEALTH CAMPAIGN IN
 THE SCHOOLS

tBy Helen $. Moore, Principal, Nome Public School.)
 Health first in the Schools'' is the slogan of the Board of Educa ton nf the Department of the Interior Wash ington. D. C. The Board has sent cut a call for teachers who vii; teach health rules and hygiene, not merely from books but in the encouras sing of healthy habits of life. which will be- come such q vital part of the child's life that it cannot disregard them. The end to be aimed at is not merely knowledge of what things are desir- able. rather than the habitual practice of rules of healthy living.
 Health must be gained by the child thru much outdoor exercise, plenty of sleep, right kind of food (not exactly what grown person eats). .s As to health rules-does your child drink glass of water before each meal; eat regularly three times q day. drink no tea or cOHee, eat canuy oniJ alter meals? Does She child have ten hours sleep, with as much fresh air as pos sible?
 The belief prevalent in Nome is that the children are most healthy. This is general statement, but do you know that it is true? The National Board of Education has sent out statistics by which we can determine how near to normal sta ndard are the children all over the country, and asks that every school that weighs the pupils send it's results to the Department at Wash ington.
 Would you be interested in the re- suits obtained in the Nome Public School? On the day these results were obtained there were several children absent. but of those present fourteen were overweight. forty underweight, and four normal weight, according to their age and height.

bakery for lunch, do you know what re orders? Is it pie and coffee pr a sandwich and chocolate? Does ne spend his breakfast or lunch money for candy and go without substantial meal?
 Each month the children of the Nome Public School are going to be weighed and their weight recorded. A child should gain on an average of a half pound per month and We are going to try, with the cooperation of the parents, to raise our standard of efficiency in health.
 The health problem is of such na- tional concern that not only has the Department of the Interior spread it's propaganda broadcast but the Junior Red Cross has put the following of health rules and the weighing of the school children to show definite re- suIts as one of it's activities.
 We have been too much accustomed to regard health as some: hing arbi- trarily given or with held from us by Providence--something over which we ourselves have no control. We now know that in order to obtain heal.h we must earn it by obeying the laws of health.
