RAILROAD 10 MEET
 TRUCK COMPETITION

Revision of railroad freight rates between Little Rock and Conway to meet competition in freight hauling by automobile trucks between the two cities is under consideration by rail- road authorities, in the opinion of some local shippers. The Missouri Pacific is said to have sent out representa- tive within the past few days to in- Gerview merchants along the line and at Conway to ascertain what propor- tion if any of their freight is coming from Little Rock by truck, and this representative, its stated, declared that the railway company expected to make rates which would meet competition by truckers.
 For the past several weeks a Little Rock concern has been operating freight trucks between Little Rock and Conway when the conditions of che roads would permit, and it is un- derstood that regular daily service is contemplated when the highway between the two cities is completed. The present truck freight rates are about the same for all classes of goods as is charged by the railway company for third class local freight, being considerably lower than express charges or freight rates for the higher class commodities.

300 feet, and was scientifically ex-

Love Of Praise.

The love Of praise is generally con-
nected with all the finer sensibilities
of human nature. To be entirely des-
titute Of all this passion betokens an
tgnoble mind, on which no moral i'm
preston Is easily made; for where
there is no desire Of praise, there will
be no sense Of reproach. But while it
Is admitted to be a natural and, in
many respects, a useful principle Of
action, it is entitled to no more than
our secondary regard. 1t has it's boun-
dairy set, by t~ransgressing which 1t is
at once transformed from an innocent
into a most dangerous passion. When
passing It's natural line, it becomes the
ruling spirit of conduct; when the re-
gard we pay to the opinions Of men
encroaches on that reverence which
we owe to the voice of conscience and
the sens Of duty, the love of praise,
having then gone out of it's proper
place, instead Of %elevattng, debases.-

Creduiochemistry.

OF all the scientific" titbits dished
up by our newspaper chefs, none en-
joys more perennial popularity than
the discovery of the lost art" of hard
ening copper. Only rately our fore
most journals were devoting columns
to the World war veteran who, finding
in an ashcan some leaves of an old en-
%cyclopedia dealing with an ancient
metallurgist and his success in hard
ening copper, fell to experimenting on
his own account, with the result that
his process was bought by Judge Gary
for 81, 100000 In cash plus 2 cents per
pound royalty. A modest and retiring
denial subsequently appeared. For
such newspaper crookery Chemical and
Metallurgical Engineering suggests the
apt name of credulochemistry, while
the Engineering and Mining Journal
intimates that the press might vary its
menu by creating unbreakable glass
for milk bottles and petriied wood for
construction purposes. Certainly these
would prove no less digestible than
~copper-even hardened copper.-Scien-
