Arkansas River Frozen over.

Arkansas River Frozen Over.
The weather bureau at Little Rock,
Ark, advises that the Arkansas river
at that point has several times been
frozen to depth that would allow
teams to cross on the ice between
Little Rock and North Little Rock, the
municipality just across the river.
From January IL to January q, 1918,
the river was frozen. the ice on
January 81 being five and one-half
inches thick. From February to
February II, 1895, the river was
frozen over at Little Rock and teams
crossed on the ice.

The penarius.

The word penny occurs a number
Of times In our English version of the
New Testament, especially In the four
Gospels; for instance, Matthew 20:2,
"And when he had agreed with the
labourers for penny day, he sent
them into his vineyard" The coin to
which the name penny is given, was
the denarius, Roman silver coin In
circulation In the time of Our Lord
and the. Apostles. 1t was the principal
silver coin then in use throughout the
Roman Empire. From tbs parable
of the laborers In the vineyard 1t
would seem that a denarius was then
the ordinary pay for days labor.

To take tolerant and sympathetic
view of the farmers strivings for bet
ter things Is not to give a blanket
endorsement to any specific plan, and
still less to applaud the vagaries of
some of their leaders and groups.
Neither should we, on the other hand,
allow the froth Of bitter agitation,
false economics, and mistaken radical
ism to conceal the facts Of the farm
ers' disadvantages, and the practicable
ity Of eliminating them by weil-con-
sidered measures. 1t may be that the

Says Gardner.

Special Cable Dispatch TO The Star
LONDON. October 1.-THE future
of Lloyd George is the chief subject
engrossing all England today. With
the passing of the near east menace
the plans of the premier are discussed
everywhere. Will he resign? When
will the general election come? What
will be the political alignment when
it does come?
Matters cannot go on as at present.
The premier's astonishing diplomatic
methods in relation to the Turk have
left hlm in an extraordinary position.
He is distrusted by all parties about
equally. but the new factor in the
situation is his loss of the support of
the newspapers. Heretofore his chief
power came from that source.

and commercial world at the revela-
ton of his political levity. City opin-
ion may be summarized thus:

Flights, Back to Wall

indicates the complete pricking of the
bubble of the greatest reputation
ever blown in English politics. But
George, with his back to the wall,
will fight desperately.
Speculation centers on the question

Of whether he will make the plunge

tory rank and file is as hostile to
Lloyd George as is the rank and file
Of the liberals and laborftes. He
does, however. retain Il powerful hold
on the leaders of the tory faction
whom he has skillfully involved in
his failures. and who see no chance
of retaining office excepting through
his strategy. 1t seems probable,

he will force the election before

What will be the result? 1t is
most problematical. There is an over

In that case the liberia! and labor ear-
ties would be enormously strength

may secure one-t,rird of the house of

States Steel properties and their strategic po- sition as a nucleus for large operations.
 The Gulf States Steel company has a conl- pact and modern steel plant at Gadsden, and in Shannon ore mines has one of the largest and most valuable supplies of self-fluxing ore in the entire south. Its trade extends to 30 for eign countries. When the export business is good the Gulf States Steel company secures its full share.
 No one seems to know who is buying this stock, but all experts know that the Gulf States Steel company is bound to have attracted the at- tention of any large eastern interests thinking of acquiring southern steel properties to secure the advantages which they enjoy in their geo. graphical location and with reference to a SUD- ply of raw materials.
 Neither is the Gulf States Steel company the only concern on which eastern capital has it's eye. Many irons are in the fire, and local mineralogists are at work for several groups of eastern capitalists who want to locate in Ala bama. Not all plans will mature, but the year has already given indication of deals of con- siderable magnitude liable to come to head in the not distant future

ALABAMA LOSES USEFUL
 PUBLIC OFFICIAL.

The death of John H. Wallace at Montgom- cry removes a xealous official and lovable man from public life. MT. Wallace drew up the law creating department of conservation in 1907 and was elected state game and fish commits sioner, a position he held until his death. Until MT. Wallace began the useful work with which he identified for 15 years, little atten- tfon had been paid to the preservation of Ala bama's game and fish, He brought to his de- partment so much energy and enthusiasm that it loon attracted attention throughout the country He was recognized as an authority on this form of conservation and helped to frame laws in other states modelled after the Alabama statutes
 MT. Wallace was friend to the wild crea- lures of the woods, the fields and the streams. He realized that they constitute valuable asset to the state, and for practical as well as humane reasons he was vigiant in giving them protec- tion in increasing knowledge of outdoor life and in inculcating a spirit of sportsmanship among hunters. His annual bird day books were al- ways carefully prepared and beautifully illus trated They made admirable text books for Alabama teachers. Through him thousands of school children became better acquainted with this states game and fish.
 MT. Wallace played prominent part in pol itics, and was once candidate for governor, but his most conspicuous service to Alabama was given as the head of the state conservation de- partment.

 This is tho spirit that will do more than anything else to make greater city. It is the spirit of live and let live, of cooperation and civic pride. The Wofford Oil company appre- ciates the fact that it does large business in Birmingham. It seeks to show that appre- citation by dealing with insurance firms who are themselves taxpayers and have local represen- tatives who are part of the city's business life.
 Birmingham is large enough, its business and manufacturing enterprises arc varied enough to supply practically every need. By patroniz- ing local concerns we add to the communitys wealth.
