WILL STOP PAYING
 MOTHERS PENSIONS
FUND ABOUT EXHAUSTED
$400 Appropriation by Levying Court for Purpose Will Not be Over
 drawn, Says Judge Smith.

The payment of mothers pensions
 has grown to be such a serious drain upon the treasury of Faulkner county that the county for the next year will be forced to disallow practically all of them and to hold the allowances for this purpose within the appropri- ation made for it by the quorum court, County Judge E. L. Smith said today.
 While the proposition of pensions for widowed mothers is an appealing one and one calculated to enlist the sympathy of the public, there are ob- jections to it aside from the financial burden it imposes upon the county" Judge Smith said. up to few years ago we never heard of a pen sion for this purpose and we have passed through many years of harder times than the present. My objection to it is that it tends to destroy that fine spirit of neighborly kindness and charity in relieving distress. In the son or one unable to work in our community, the neighbors would simply get together and with very little sacrifice or effort secure sufti- cient food, clothing or other neces- sites to relieve the distress.
 "Now since the mothers pension law went into effect, the tendency is when a case requiring charity arises in the neighborhood to pass it on to the county judge and ask the allow ance of a pension. It is amazing the extent to which these demands have grown. If every application were granted all the revenue of the county would not begin to pay them. As it is, we have been paying out over $4,000 a year, or about 15 per cent of the county's revenue.
 "The quorum court of last October appropriated only $400 for the moth ers' pension fund, and l pledged that body that I would hold the expendi- lures of the county within the appropriated by it. There fore, when the present appropriation is exhausted, we cannot allow any further pensions"
 The county maintains poor farm and cases of extreme destitution, where relatives or neighbors decline to lend assistance, will be sent to this farm, Judge Smith said. Here the are provided food, shelter and clothing and are maintained in a fair degree of comfort.
 Some people have mistaken idea of the mothers pension fund.-" said Judge Smith, land think any needy widow in the county may avail her self of support simply by applying to the county court. The pensions cannot be legally paid to any except widowed mothers of children under the age of IA years, and the max imum amount allowed by law is S10 per month to a widow with one de- pendent child and S5 additional for each additional child.
 "But aside from these limitations, the small appropriation made by the levying court will quickly be exhaust ed, and to take care of deserving cases of charity the people of the county will have to return to the good old custom of neighborly kindness and of rendering aid to the distress ed. And this is a work in which our churches, lodges, women's societies and clubs and other organizations can and, feel sure, will render eff fectve service"

DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE

The Disarmament Con-
ference to be held in Wash
ington in November, is, we
take it, perhaps the most mo-
mentous convocation Of man
kind since history began.
Upon the issue hinges the
future of this world for gen
erations to come; perhaps
for centuries. While it is
termed a conference for the
purpose Of disarmament
among nations, it is, in verify
and intent, a conference for
the consideration of the
abolishment Of war. A con-
ference that looks to an ultl-
mate of abiding peace.
1t is not humanity possible
to attain this universally
coveted goal at one stride. 1t
is a matter of World-educa-
tion; of evolution in world
ethics. But the November
Conference is the first step
taken by the nations in abso-
lutte sincerity with the view
of seriously considering the
status of war in the world.
The seven-league strides
of science in the past fifty
years have placed man IN
such command of the secrets
of nature, that he is now in
possession of destructive
forces that are capable of the
total humiliation Of armies,
cities, or fleets at a blow. In
other words, warfare is ap-
preaching the point to where
it is race suicide for the
white peoples to engage IN
it. The colored peoples are
not as yet involved in the
danger, except in so far as
they are allied to or govern
ed by the whites. But IN
time, as they progress to a
knowledge Of the white
mans inventions they would
likewise be subject to the
same risks. In the mean
time, if, as some publicists
argue, there is to be a world
conflict of races at some fu-
ture period, the continued
weakening of the white
races by war is only another
and more lingering species
Of suicide.
We say the November
Conference is the first con-
vocation of the ruling ma
tions of the world to con-
slider the abolishment of
war. The Paris conference
merely played with the
League of Nations The willy
politicians of that conven-
ton, intent on their own sell
fish ends, conspired to trick
the one, lone figure the
worlds first international
ist-that stood out for meas
ures Of perpetual peace ano
a lasting abolition of war
They succeeded, and broke
the heart Of Woodrow Viii
son. But his efforts were not
in vain. The conference I'M
der discussion in a measure
has grown out of the heroic
stand taken by him at Paris
The eyes of the world were
upon him, as never before

caught the shining Of the
vision beheld by him, and
they have never forgotten its
inspiration. This November
convocation is in response>to
a cry from the heart OF
civilization itself! It were d
simple courtesy to invite this
former president of the
United States to attend its
meetings. That much-and
it is little-is due to the man
who laid down more than his
life in behalf Of the very
cause they are gathered to
consider.
# the Conference shall adj
journ with no definite result
accomplished; with no mo-
dus vivendi, SO to speak, till
the constituent nations can
meet again for final conven-
ton, the cause of peace will
be set back irreparably for
years. The immediate effect
might be to cause a fever
ish scramble among certain
nations, especially Japan, to
redouble present efforts.
This, however, is only con-
lecture.
But on this very account
we are inclined to believe
that something definite will
be accomplished. The issues
are too momentous, too
fraught with grave conse-
ouence to the whole world,
to admit of any other con-
clusion.

VIEWPOINT NEVER THE SAME
In Classifying Themselves the SeSes
Have Always Differed and Prob
ably Always viii.

II may be said without fear of con-
tradction that a given mans ideal Of
a woman, and that same woman's ideal
of herself, are two absolutely different
things. For as regards themselves the
sexes vision differently. So, general
masculine ideals of feminity, and fem
initys ideals Of itself, are most unlike.
We have Johns John, and Mary's
John; Mary's Mary, and Johns Mary
and this square Is far more difficult
even to apprehend much less resolve,
than is the squaring of the circle, or
any mental glimpsing of the fourth di-
mension of space. Yet If the eternal
two ever did really understand each
other, interest would Immediately
cease; for what you understand you
appropriate, in a sense you become
that thing. In creating them male and
female, therefore, 50 like yet unlike,
Providence constituted a distinction
and difference that should prove a
perennial source Of interest and JOY;
with incidental eXasperations, 1t may
be, and perpetual wonder.
Just like man." Gust like a
woman" are the commonest of phrases
but what it is to be 'just like
man." or "just like a woman" who
can truly say? Does man understand
woman any better today than he did
In the Stone age, or woman under
stand man? Between the two is for
ever fixed The enchanting brldge-not
perpetual why. The "cen-
trail core of identity" in each may be
trusted to keep its secret-the secret
of delight and God-glyen attraction.

Back To The Farm

The United States Employment
Service notes a slight trend of labor
back to the farm.
It is only natural silk shirts and
jazz look mighty attractive when a fat
pay envelope is forthcoming every Sat
urday night, but they have their dis
advantages when the pay envelope
ceases to come
1t may be a little hard for the men
who troopcd to the cities a few years
ago to get back to the routine of be-
ing valet to plug horses and chaperon
to a pen of pigs and where the only
white lights are the dull rays from the
lantern by which the COW is MIXED.
But even these things can be borne
when there's sure to be ham and eggs
on the table every morning and corned
beef and cabbage every night with a
mans size meal in between.
Farmers may not be enjoying pros
perity, but they at least can eat And
that, nowadays is considerable com
pcnsation for the loss of silk shirts and
jazz.

when the wind blows, we do not feel
1t. Hence 1t seems to 10 to have al
most no substance
Yet 1t is a rather substantial fluid.
