 'They like our large heads and our great big bodies and enormous claws.
 "They wouldn't like to be too near our claws, they often say, and they seem to be glad that we're separated from them by great iron bars.
 "They think our brown fur is very good looking, and they admire the way stand and they think we've such nice strong shoulders and such strong backs.
 Sometimes folks mistake us for the Kadiak Bears. The Kadiak Bears come from the Kadiak Islands, Alaska as every one knows"
 "I doubt very much" said MT. Yaku- tat Bear, If any one knows that. Per haps they do know 1t, but you know don't suppose people spend their lives finding out just what part Of the world certain bears come from.
 'To many people we're just bears, and it doesn't make much difference to them if they know our names or not"
 True, true,'' said Mrs. Yakutat Bear "And I wouldn't be in the least insu1ted if were called a bear, and didn't have my family name of Yaku- tat used. My name means, too, that am from the Yakutat Bay, Alaska.
 But still it Is nice when 1t is possi- ble to let people know more about the different families of bears.
 %E,1 chance that we do look like the Kad- lak Bears, and that the color fur we use Is just the same.
 ''So naturally there Is every reason why they would confuse us. Every reason In the world why they should I quite understand. But I would like to explain that the Kadiak Bears have long noses. which look quite pointed, and ours are short and stubby, or should I say we have snub noses7"
 Perhaps that Is what you should say,' growled MT: Yakutat Bear pleas antly.
 "we're all of the great family of Alaskan Brown Bears,' he continued. T might add that bit of information along with yours"
 Thank you, thank you,' said Mrs. Yakutat Bear, "Tm glad to add to the informat ton I wish to give to people. And I hope that though there may be other things more interesting in their lives to think about such as ice cream and circuses and candy, they will still give a little thought to the great fam fly of bears
 And hope they'll like to hear about us for, growl, growl, we're big, interesting creatures and we have had our adventures, too. And we have enjoyed salmon as much as they've ever enjoyed Ice cream.
 ''In fact, I think we've enjoyed it more-"
 "I almost believe we have said MT. Yakutat Bear. "In fact, I'm pretty sure of 1t, growl, growl, w-o-o-f, I'm quite sure of it!"

 satisfactory, It is also said that many

suggestions made by the railroad execu- t1Ves have been accepted and embodied m the new regulations. The initial de- cisior covers 35 pages and the changes made are rather in words and phrases than in new rules, to preserve as far as possible all parts of the national agree ment which the board believes are work able and generally satisfactory after many years of adjustment and confer ence.

BLANTON SLIPPING
 FROM HIS PERCH

Washington, Aug. 26.-Bleating
 Blanton is discovered" in the na- tional capital and can no longer be played up" on the first page of the public press. Last week he declared that the government took over the railroads, not to win the war, but be- cause the government feared the rail road employees would strike and tie up
 transportation from coast to coast. If you passed my bill to stop strikes
 by law, we would not have to take over the roads, shrieked Blanton And the newspaper correspondents cruelty ignored the Texans bombast.
 Blanton is aware he is slipping, for he blamed the International Typo graphical union. He said there are but "A newspapers in the United States" who would dare offend this union. There was a time when this was considered "hot stuff but now the men in the press gallery yawn.
 Blanton's policy is 10 remain silent when big business or influential per sons are involved and to race for the people" on minor matters or where he can aim a blow at organized la bor He applied his system in a dis cusslon i'll the house on bill to ap propriate $48,ooo,ooo to the shipping board. For an entire day the house discussed mismanagement ana waste by the board. Blanton took no part in the discussion, nor expressed an opinion in any form. Later, when the house considered $2,ooo item relat- ing to contested elections Blanton howled for economy and made vigor- ous protest against ''the wasteful ex- penditure of the peoples money"

CHAPTER XIII.
An Air Scout for Zodanga.

An Air Scout for Zodanqa. As I proceeded on my journey to-
 ward Zodanga many strange and fn- teresting sights arrested my attention, and at the several farmhOuses where 1 I stopped I learned number of new and instructive things concerning the methods and manners of Barsoom- The water which supplies the farms of Mars is collected in immense under ground reservoirs at either pole from the melting ice caps, and pumped through long conduits to the various populated centers. Instead of flooding the surface of the fields, and thus
 wasting immense quantities of water by evaporation, the precious liquid Is
 carried underground through vast
 network of small pipes directly to the
 roots of the vegetation. The crops
 upon Mars are always uniform, for
 there are no drOughtS, no rains, no
 high winds and no insects, or destroy ing birds.
 On this trip I tasted the first meat
 I had eaten since leaving Earth
 large, juicy steaks and chops from the well-fed domestic animals of the farms. Also I enjoyed luscious fruits and vegetables, but not single ar ticle of food which was exactly simi- lar to anything on Earth.
 At second stop I met some highly cultivated people of the noble class
 and while in conversation we chanced
 to speak of Helium. One of the older
 men had been there on a diplomatic
 mission several years before and spoke with regret of the conditions which seemed destined ever to keep these
 two countries at war
 "Hellum," he said, rightly boasts
 the most beautiful women of Barsoom
 and of all her treasures the wondrous
 daughter of Mors Kaiak, Dejah Thoris, is the most exquisite flower. Why" he added, "the people really
 worship the ground she walks upon and since her loss on that ill-starred expedition all HeIium has been draped in mourning.
 That our ruler should have at ; tackled the disabled fleet as 1t was re- turning to Helium was but another of
 his awful blunders which I fear will
 sooner or later compel Zodanga to ele- vate wiser man to his place. 'Even now, though our victorious armies are surrounding Helium the
 people of Zodanga are voicfng their displeasure for the war is not popu-
 lar one, since 1t is not based on right
 or justice. Our forces took advantage of the absence of the principal fleet of Heiiu1n o.n their search for the prin- cess, and we have been able easily to
 reduce the city to sorry plight
 And what, think you, may have
 been the fate of the princess, Dejah Thorls?" I asked as casually as pos sible.
 ''She is dead" he answered. 'Thfs
 much was learned from a green war
 rior recently captured by our forces in
 the south. She escaped from the
 hordes of Thark with a strange crea- ire of another world. only to fall | nto the hal.ds of the Warhoons Their

Covering All Phases of
 Employment.
 Chicago, Aug. 2o-The United States Railroad Labor Board will, in a few days, begin the publication of new work ing rules to govern more than 100000 rail workers, it was announced following an executive meeting. The agreement was to announce rules as rapidly as they are worked out, instead of waiting until lated.
 This action was taken following de- cision by the board that no further hear ingS would be had on this subject, The position taken was that if each rule were ir,able and the decision would be indef- nite1y delayed.
 The first rules to be announced will deal with shop crafts. They will regu- late overtime and piecework, subjects that recently have been aired before the board These rules are now in the hands of the printer and will be given out as soon as they come to the chairman for his signature.
 The board decided to formulate gen. eral rules instead of rules for individual roads, wherever that could be done.
 It is stated that the national agree ment has been made the basis of the new rules, with such changes as have

by International News Service.
London, July 20.-Commander
Viscount Curzon, NJ. P, eminent auth
ority on international politics, in an
interview granted the International
News Service discussed the recent
pronouncements of Lloyd George and
General Jan SHUTS that rapproche-
ments should be entered into with
the United States on armaments.
General SHUTS stated at the I'M
perial Conference, following Lloyd
Georges overtures to America, that
it was his belief that the most fatal
mistake of all would be a race in
armaments with America. Com
mander Viscount Viscount Curzon in
his interview discussed recent liml-
tation suggestions and takes the view
that the formula for naval agree
ment hould be a financial one, in op-
position, presumably, to the Admir-
atty view, which is that it should be
expressed in big ships" Lord Curzon
said:
"Although we have been discus
sing this question of naval holiday
for so long, the clear fact remains
that up to now there has been moth
ing but talk. Whether internation-
al agreement is to be arrived at still
remains to be seen, for the lead that
we gave long ago has not been fol-
lowed.
Japan, it is true, is credited with
views similar to our own, but Ameri-
ca is silent, and we can only speculate
as to the eventual outcome of it all.
"No good can come from recrimi-
nation. A degard it as absolutely
all-important in this matter that we
should not be. tempted, however
strongly we may feel, into any criti-
cism of whatever action America feels
justified in adopting.
at must be remembered that
America is perfectly entitled to take
any action she likes. We have no
right to cavil at her decision, even
if it should not agree with what we
may regard as the best. If we were
in her position we would resent inter
ference.
ut is obvious that there are some
Americans who want their country
to possess the biggest navy in the
world, and to nation that pride it
self on going ahead the ambition is
understandable They say they can
afford to crafty their desire, and
they do not see why they should not,
~ am quite certain there is no ag-
gressive intent behind such plans, for
America is not aggressive-at any
rate, in the sense that Germany was.
1t is simply an expression by veal
thy nation of its national pride in
being able to say with regard to the
navy as it does in other activities,
that it possesses the biggest thing
yet
"At the same time uch views have
to be reconciled with the idea of the
League of Nations and similar
schemes that had their genesis on the
other side of the Atlantic; and am
afraid 1t is not thoroughly recogniz-
ed by all Americans that there is
certain danger in owning these enor-
nous fighting machines.
"The temptation on the part of
those who create them must be in
the end to say: why not use them?'
While that possibility is present
everyone gets nervous.
II do not see how we can possibly
go any farther than we have done in
reducing armaments until encour-

KENNETT-HAYTI ROAD
GETS ITS FIRST TRAFFIC

For several years much money,
time and talk has been expended to-
ward the inter-county-seat highway
from Kennett to Caruthersville by
wayof Hayti.
At last this road has been complet-
ed to such extent that traffic was
had over it Monday.
The first produce ever brought
from kennett to Hayti was two
wagon loads of melons being brought
here by j. E. Smith and A. d. Mullen,
two former Hayti citizens, the melons
being sold entirely in Hayti.
This traffic is only beginning,

MOST FATAL MISTAKE OF
AGES WOULD BE ARMAMENT
RACE WITH UNITED STATES
This Opinion of General Jan Smu Expressed at the
Imperial Conference

our shores. Our attitude, which
was reiterated this week at the open
ing of the Imperial Conference by
Lloyd George, leaves no room foi
doubt; we should be only too willing
to arrive at some agreement which
would have the effect of limiting ar
maments.
"It is largely open to doubt wheth-
er we have not already gone too far.
In few years time we shall have
only four ships, or possibly five, en-
bodying the lessons of the battle of
Jutland, as against eighteen that
America will possess, and that is a
serious situation. In addition, we
have disposedof an enormous num-
ber of destroyers. 1t is true that
they were somewhat obsolete and had
beed subjected to great wear and
tear during the war, but we have no
information that similar clearances
have been made elsewhere.
mo inc, in short, has done so
much to reduce naval armaments as
ew have done, and we certainly can
not afford to take any further risks
until some definite agreement has
been arrived at between the nations.
THAT agreement has not been
reached, although no one can serious
ly contemplate any further resort by
civilized nations, in our lifetime at
any rate, to the arbitrament of war.
I'VE must leave no stone unturned
in our endeavor to arrive at some sort
of agreement on this tremendously
important subject, and In my view it
is puch better not to attempt to tie
down too definitely the countries con-
cerned. We shall achieve success
more quickly if we allow ample lati-
tude to individual countries.
"As to form that the limitation
we should take there can be little
doubt that to express it in the num-
bers of ships that would be permit
ted is to invite many difficulties, un-
less we are able to formulate some
scheme that is easily worked.
even then there would be neces-
sity for considerable latitude, for
the nation authorized to possess GER
tain capital ships might prefer small
Ter craft in proportions that conceiv-
ably could lead to dispute.
"And the country that did not
want any at all might be compelled
through the working of the scheme,
to embark on enterprises that she did
not desire.
1T would probably be found, in
the event of definite agreement be-
tween the nations, that more work
able plan would be to adopt the sug
gestion of a limit expressed, not in
nupber of vessels, but in money. With
proper calculations based on varying
rates of exchange, it ought to be pos
sible to arrive at some fixed, amount
that would not be exceeded by any
of the nations concerned.
"As it is an international matter
any decisions would rightly be taken
primarily by the statesmen, the func-
tion of the naval experts being to ten
der the necessary advice.
But all these considerations are
more or less speculative. What we
want is a practical, duly-authenticat-
ed proposal. We have not got it
yet, and until we do we must see that
we do nothing further to lower our
naval efficiency in the matter of
equipment.
