iH hat About lee!

TeXar!lana, Jan. 16.-Citizens have asked the Texarkanian if the price of ice will be reduced in Texarkana this year They wonder why this general commodity. which is a nee essity in every home, should remain at war prices and cite the fact mater ial reductions have been made in near ly every other city.
 They ask why 70 cents here and 40 cents in Shreveport; why 70 cents here, and 50 cents in Ashdown for ice bought from Texarkana?
 We pass the question to the local ice dealers. They are good men, in- terested in the upbuilding of this city and no doubt, will give the subject serious consideration.
 It is quite probable, q material de- crease in price is even now under adyisement.

Henry Ford has come to be an au- thority on some things, but ever so often he has to get behind an imprac- tical idea to the point of the radicu- }ous. His financing a ship-load of nuts to stop the war was one of them His latest is his fiat money propa- ganda This is not a new idea and was a pet issue in the days Populism Mir. Ford has today only to look across the seas to Europe to see the effect of fiat or paper money. Russia has more of that kind of money than any other nation, and is making more as fast as the printing presses can turn it out To be sure it will buy nothing, but the Russians are covered up in money. Paper money without the gold dollar back of it is like county scrip, the more you issue the less it is worth, unless taxes are increaed in proportion to take it up.

General Campaign For
 Jewish Relief Fund

Little Rock. Jan. 1G.-Intensive campaigning for Arkansas S75,O0O quota of the $14,000,000 fund for Jew ish relief work in Central and Eastern Europe began throughout the state f this week, under the direction of Charles T. Abeles of Little Rock, chairman of the Arkansas executive committee of the American Jewish Re- lief Committee, and Henry $. Dort- man of New York, an official of the National organization. Other memb- CTS of MT. Abeles' state executive con- mittee are Rabbi Jack, Honorary chairman; Ike Kempner, Mrs. l. Saf- ferstone and Ad Hamberg, vice chair men; Louis M. Samuel, Secretary and Harry Lasker, treasurer, all of Little Rock.
 County committees have been form ed throughout the state, and the cam paigning is in progress simultaneous ly all over the state. Prominent citi zens are serving on the county com mittees, and, as was the case when the first relief campaign was made about three years ago, non-Jews are lend ing active assistance to the movement.
 The fund is needed for continuing the work among stricken Jewish peo- ples overseas which was begun during the war by the American Jewish Re lief committee. The need continues desperate, according to workers of the committee who are reporting directly from the field, and whole villages are being wiped out by disease, famine and exposure. The suffering among children and the aged is particularly acute, and heroic efforts are being made in their behalf
 MT. Dorfman has just completed a campaign in Michigan where more than $1,000000 was pledged, and has expressed confidence that Arkansas will raise it's comparatively small quota within the week.

Now that the cotton pooling plan has been put over the leaders in the movement have begun organization for business. It is a good indication to note that they are proceeding with caution in an effort to secure the best and most conservative men possible to hold the positions of responsibility. Radicalism has no place in this busi- ness organization of farmers any more than it has in the successful op eration of any other big business. The success or failure of the whole matter is going to depend upon the type of men that handle it. The farming business is the biggest business in America. Many times in the past or ganizatiOns have failed in their pur- pose on the rocks of radicalism So far, this organization has steared wide course away from these rocks. Organization in Little River county come up this week.

The farm bloc in congress is caus- ing no end of worry among the old line party organizations. That any group of congressman should form a group to aid agricultural legislation regardless of party lines is unheard of and revolutionary, and in the eyes of Republican leaders, something ought to be done about it, but they haven't decided what could be done.
