INDUSTRIAL EXHIBIT MAY GREET ROTARY
 VISITORS 10 CITY
Ad Club Discusses Plan to Repeat Manufacturers
 Week

Proposal that Pine Bluff demon. strate to the several hundred Ro. tarians from Arkansas. Louisiana and Mississippi it's importance as a manufacturing center by repetition of the manufacturers exhibit, con- ducted by the Pine Bluff Ad club several months ago, was discussed at the meeting of the Ad club yester- day. It was pointed out by Fred Nining. B. c. Fowles. A. G. Whidden and others that probably more than half thousand business and pro- fcssional men-each representing a different line in his community-will be here to attend the Rotary tri- state conference. March 24 and 25. and that more favorable opportuni- ty for Pine Bluff to advertise it's manufacturers to merchants and pro- fessional business men from other sections had never before presented itself, and would not soon occur again. Proponents of the plan also showed that little expense would be incurred by the manufacturers. as no contribution to cover the prizes and cost of advertising need be solcit- ed, as was necessary when the Manu- lecturers week was conducted be- fore with such success. Several merchants offered the use of their windows free of rent. and Ray Me- Intvre stated that the exhibit of J. in the last contest-had been preserv- ed and could be installed on short notice.
 Jack Bernhardt, president of the club. Roy M. Kemp, E. M. Schober and others approved the value of the suggestion. but expressed apprehen- sion that the time is insufficient, and that manufacturers would not care to undertake arranging exhibits for the Rotary conference on such short notice. Whether this opportunity for Pine Bluff and Pine Bluff manu- lecturers to demonstrate to several hundred business men from 24 cit ies in the three states the variety and quality of Pine Bluff products will be accepted appears to rest upon the initiative of the manufacturers of the Ad club took no ction toward ascertaining sentiment manufacture CTS of made in Pine Bluff goods.
 Decorate Stores.
 That all business houses will be decorated in honor of the Rotarians i of three states was evidenced by statements of merchants, after Mir | Kemp announced that in all proba- bility committee would invite such action.
 After an interesting talk by M. s Pogue on the "excellent results" ob- tained by the Pogue- Buick company from investment in advertising in the Pine Bluff newspapers, E M. Scho- Der and D. Stanley Drevfus told of the action by the Retail Merchants association in endorsing the plan of

 Under an assumed name Cain en- listed as a stoker in the navy and was on the fleet that made the cruise around the world. He was said to have deserted when the fleet returned to home waters. He as- sumed another name and found em- ployment as stoker on ships ply ing between American Atlantic ports and South America. He was a longshoreman in New York when he became involved in the crime, the penalty for which he is now waiting to pay.

$500, ,O0O Profits of
 the " Go to
 American Legion

St. Louis, March 1.-The Ameri. can Legion has inherited $500, ,00C from the canteen service of the Y M. c. A. with the American army in l France. Announcement of this wind fall has been made by the national executive committee of the legion in a statement which includes as ex- planation of the gift by John R Mott, general secretary of the war work council of the Y. M. c. A.
 The gift was made possible by the fact that recent decision of the United States and French govern ment not to charge the Y. M. c. A for transportation services has changed what appeared to be loss of $1,478,084 on it's overseas can teen operations into an apparent surplus of $5O0.O00. MT. Mott ex- plained that in keeping with the Y. M. c. As policy of conducting it's canteens, on nonprofit making bas- is. it was felt desirable that the $50O,- 900 profit should be turned back, so far as is within the Y. M. C. As pow CT to the men whose purchases pro- duced the profit.
 MT. Mott's letter showed that up to the time the canteens overseas were taken back by the army, on April l, 1919, the total volume of business transacted through the post ex- changes was $37,8O0,OOO. He stated that throughout it had been the practice of the Y. M. c. A. to make no profit from this business
 Mr. Mott has made it plain that the $5OO,OOO is turned over to the legion without any restrictions as to the use to be made of it. The le- zion itself has decided that it will not at present spend the money thus received, but will make trust fund of it and expend only the income.

TOO FERVID.

Mr.. Cox says the Republican campaign
fund is SIS, OOO,0 900. He says Wall street
is going to buy the Presidency for the
Republicans. His imagination is too
fervid. 1t has led his tongue astray. The
investigation of the first of the above
charges has shown that MIR. Cox did not
know anything about the size of the Re-
publican campaign fund. He guessed at it
and made mighty wide guess The fund
has been shown to be about So, 200, 900
and Mr.. Cummings, chairman of the
Democratic National committee, has ad-
mitted before the investigating commit
tee that this amount is needed for public
ity and other legitimate uses. 1t has
been shown that the head of the ]. T.
Morgan concern, which is the biggest
thing in Wall street, owns newspaper,
and this paper is for Cox first, last and
all the time. If Mr.. Cox keeps on guess
ing and talking, the Republicans will not
need cent of campaign money after Oc-
tober first. If, however, it becomes nee
essary to spend $4,000, 600 to send the
Democratic party up Salt River, we
think large majority of our people
would consider it to be very profitable
Investment.

VOTERS WANT THE TRUTH.

Four years ago the Democrats sent
broadcast campaign poster setting forth
the accomplishments of the party during
the preceding foul years of Democratic
rule. Among other things it claimed the
parcel post law as one of its praiseworthy
achievements. There was no foundation
whatever for this claim. The parcels
post law was passed by Republican
Congress approved by a Republican
President and went into effect three
months and three days before President
Wilson and Democratic Congress came
into power Remembering this we have
taken the time to find out how much
truth WAS to be found in recent state
ment of Mr.. Cox.
When speaking of the federal reeerve
banking system, he said "The federal
reserve act was originated, advocated
and made law by a Democratic Presi-
dent and Congress, against the bitter
protests of the Republican Standpatters. )"
Prior to 1914 the Democratic party was
always opposed to an elastic bank issued
currency. Years ago we had a United
States bank. Andrew Jackson, that re-
Yered and often quoted Democrat, wreck
ed it. Since then the Republicans have
tried several times to establish Federal
System of banking, but the Democrats

have baked their efforts. In May, 1908,
when we had Republican President and
a Republican Congress, Senators Aldrich,
Eugene Hale, Penrose, Weeks and others,
all standp alters, succeeded in getting an
Act passed providing for a National
Monetary Commission ito inquire into
and report to Congress what changes are
necessary or desirable in the monetary
system Of the United States, or in the
laws relating to banking and currency"
That commission filed it's report one
year and three months before President
Wilson and Democratic Congress as
sumed control of affairs. Just one year
previous to the above date Senator AID
rich in a carefully considered plan for
monetary legislation and, at the request
of the Commission, revised that plan
about four months before the Commits
sion made its report to Congress, and the
Aldrich plan was the basis of the pres
emf law establishing the present Federal
Reserve Banking System. In its issue
of November 10, 1914. the New York
Times Democratic) said: "Many of the
provisions, much of the language of the
Aldrich commission bill were embodied
in the act" Mr.. Cox was entirely mis-
taken when he said the Federal Reserve
act was originated by the Democrats. He
was in error when he said it was passed
against the protests of the Republican
standpatters" When he said the law
was passed by Democratic Congress he
stated fact. We mention these things
because we do not think anybody, Demo-
crat or Republican, should be allowed 10
deceive or mislead the electorate OF the
United States.

ed to be possessed by an acute frenzy
which impelled them to recklessly throw
away money, and today, if we had all
the gold which has. been dug from the
earth during the last 500 years, the
amount would not be sufficient to pay
half of our present national debt. This
is our muckle. The in crest on our ma
tional debt will be more than $500, OOO,-
600 this year. We are going to pay our
debts and the interest thereon, but it
will take US years to do it. The men,
who have either thoughtlessly or know
ingly permitted the waste of about one
fourth of our huge debt, should be turned
out of office because of their inefficiency
or for something worse. The people do
not want any more of their millions
to be spent in building national toys or
for non-essentials. They want a sane,
business-like and economical administra-
ton of their affairs.

MANY A MICKLE MAKES A
MUCKLE

People in these days of national ex-
travagance, speak of million dollars
as though it is a merely trifling sum.
Few of us seem to realize what stu
pendous number of units are represented
by the two words, one million. A mill
ion miles is 40 times the distance around
the world. If an automobile was to be
driven 20 miles an hour for 10 hours a
day during 300 days each year, Is years
and months would be required to drive
1000, 900 miles. A hydroplane is now
being built in England which will be
paid for in good American dollars. 1t is
to be about 700 feet long and it is said it
will cost 100000. The avowed pur-
pose of building it is to cross from Eng
land to the United States. If it sue
ceeds, and it probably will succeed, we
shall have something to brag about and
that's all. We shall have no practical
use for it after it gets here. 1t cannot
add anything essential to our facilities
for transportation of freight or passen-
gers. We will probably build huge and
costly building in which to store it and
perhaps will make a trip across the con-
tinent in order to give the public an IL
lustration of economy as exemplitied by
Mr.. Josephus Daniels.
Three days after the armistice was
signed President Wilson, on the floor of
the House of Representatives, said:
"'Thus the war is ended" Immediately
afterwards the Government took over
the Norfolk Ferries for operation. Gov
eminent appraisers had previously look
ed over the property and estimated its
value at Sl65, 900. The government did
not buy the properties but signed con-
and agreed to spend $1,000, 900 for i'm
provement of the properties, and agreed
further to return them as soon as the
income was sufficient to pay the rental
The above are two Of the many instances
when million dollars have been wasted
The waste OF vastly larger sums have
been quite as numerous. A Scotch prov
erb says:-"Many a mickle makes a
muckIe." Millions have been our mick
les. some have been wisely spent, some
have been prodigally and shamefully
wasted by men who at times have SEEM

A FIZZLE.

We have not heard anything lately
about deportation. 1t died young. 1t
was a case of infant mortality due to
mal-nutrition. Mr. Palmer, Attorney
General of the United States, deported
249 very undesirable people. That was a
good job. He told the United States
Secret Service men to get evidence and
round up all they could find. They did
so and arrested more than 5000. That
was another good Job. Every thing went
along well in the nursery till one day Mr.
Post, Assistant Secretary of the Depart
ment of Labor, walked in. DR.. Post said,
Mr. Palmer, you are not bringing this
young one up right. Give him a good
dose of Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup
and put him in bed. Get out and nurse
your candidacy for the Presidency. Mr.
Palmer followed the doctors orders, but
we have not yet been able to understand
what authority the second officer of the
Department of Labor had to give orders
to the Attorney General. Mr.. Palmer
released some of his prisoners on bail and
let the rest of them go without bail. That
wasn't good job. 1t scared the soap
box orators into silence for short time
but the secret plottIngs against the gov
ernment have been going on more hope
fully every day, and the forces of anarchy
have been increasing hourly.

The only reasons that we are ia

infancy, as only long boats. propelled

not be safe for voyages over rough
