One reason why American mu
nition contracts are being cancelled
is due to the fact th^t Britian now
has 500,000 women working in
the munition plants alone. It
doesn't look like peace. America
has shipped over a billion dollars
worth of arms and ammunition to
the allies. Her work is done.
Arkansas will get her constitu
tional convention if the people in
general take as avidly to the prop
osition as our legislators do. It is
a surprise of the season that there
was so little opposion to the meas
ure. It is an indication, of course,
that with the wet and dry issue
divorced from legislative work, as
has been done quite effectively by
the people of the state, many good
measures will be discussed and
settled entirely on their merits, not
with any reference to how or why
they affect potenial prohibition or
absolute prohibition. We have
made the way clear and easy for
much good legislation in Arkansas.
The present crisis, more than
anything this country has yet con
tended with, teaches the wisdom of
p-eparedness. Had universal train
ing, such as is practiced in Switz
erland and Australia, been a mi ita
ry rule in this country three or
four years ago we would not now
be silting on the Anxious Seat.
Universal training must come and ^
sacrifices on the part of individuals I
in order that the nation may be J
safe are as necessary as heat, light <
and food. Until war is abolished
by common consent and that time
* is still afar off—individual nations ,
must protect themselves against ]
the encroachments of the mighty. ,
No matter what each day brings
forth to make more unbearable the
burden which we have imposed up
on ourselves let us remember
"America First.” We may not
agree with the diplomats and the
statesmen who have taken a step
which, to so many of us, is not un
derstandable, but we do under
stand that those in charge of our
government are guided by the
highest purposes and are working
for the interests of this nation.
And that this nation may live is our
greatest Ideal. It cannot liyeun -
iess we are as one in the prosecu
tion of all those things which me an
progress, prosperity and happin ess
for all of us.
The severing of diplomatic rela
tions has not aiways been followed
by war, but almost invariably hos
tilities succeed the ceasing of dip
lomatic intercourse. There are
instances on record where minis
ters were recalled and nation lived
in peace and harmony but these in
stances are few and far betw een.
For ten yeurs Germany and V ene
zuela had nothing to do wi th each
other officially a.nd Germany also
refused to keep a minister in Bel
grade after Kin'g Alexander was
murdered, for three years, but
there was no war. The severing
of relations, however, usually
means seriou 5 consequences and
the step is rvot taken without ma
ture thoug' jt an(j deliberation.

Local lumber interests have re

from Washington that the Inter
state Commerce Commission would
take stringent action next week to
enforce the re-location of cars and
to remove the car congestion at
North Atlantic seaports, thus af
fording an additional relief to this
section, which has for months suf
fered from an acute shortage in
rolling stock. It is reported that a
fine of $5,000 will be placed on all
lines which do not cooperate in re
lieving the car shortage.
With seven big ships already in
operation, and two more contem

primarily for the lumber export
trade, the fleet will also engage in
general freight cargo business,
handling merchandise consign
ments of all kinds, both outging
and incoming. Eventually it is in
tended to establish passenger-car
rying arrangements.

Good for the Whole Family
“Granny” Chamberlain “A good cough remedy is one that can be
depended upon to cure coughs. INot one
that cures some particular cough, but coughs in general.
It must be a cough remedy that can be relied upon for all the
different coughs that are so prevalent. While the causes of all
coughs are primarily the same, yet the condition of the patient
is what makes the difference in the nature of the cough itself.
Coughs of healthy persons are easier to cure than the coughs of
invalids. The powerful convulsive cough of a large man is
harder to cure than the cough of a baby. If you get a remedy
that will cure a large man’s cough and yet not be too powerful
for the baby, you have a good cough remedy.
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
is just this kind of remedy. It is good for any member of the
family. It relieves coughs of all kinds. It is the product of much
thought and study to produce an ideal cough remedy. It is com
posed of things which cure easily and soothingly without harm
ing the most delicate tissues of the throat. It acts as easily and
safely on the young as on the old, and is the ideal remedy for
coughs, colds, croup, influenza, whooping cough and bronchitis.

Enlisted uog of u. s. Navy
Dies a Hero After Making
Long Swim to Rejoin Colors
Official dispatches have cleared up 1
for all time the fate of Bum, the only
dog ever regularly enlisted in tin*
United States navy.
They told of the heroic'death of the
great Newfoundland, known throughout
the world where naval men meet, and'
for 12 years registered as a member of
the crew of the United States steam
ship San Francisco, flagship of the
mine-laying division of the United
States navy.
The story of the dog’s death prom
ises to become a navy classic, even as
the animal’s life always was an in
spiration to navy men.
According to the dispatches, Bum en
joyed shore leave with other members
of tlie San Francisco’s crew when that
vessel put into Guantanamo bay for
practice on the Guantanamo rifle range.
During the shore leave sudden orders
came for the San Francisco to sail at
once. “Quarters” was sounded, and
within a few minutes the San Fran
cisco, all of Its crew aboard except
“Bum,” was steaming away from the
Cuban shore. Bum, in some manner,
had wandered away and failed to re
spond to the bugle call—the first time
in his 12 years of service.
Months elapsed before the San Fran
cisco's men were able to communicate
with Guantanamo bay again. They
were informed Bum was there, and ar
rangements were being made to have
him brought back to this country to
rejoin his ship, when the United States
gunboat Eagle sailed into Guantanamo
bay. Bum was on the shore and
spied tlie vessel \Vhen it was still three
miles off shore, just dropping anchor.
The dog sprung into the water and in
the face of a heavy sea swam toward
the bont. An hour later, exhausted and
hardly able to move his paws. Bum
was lifted onto the gunbout’s deck. He
died a minute afterward.
Inventors Busily at Work
Inventors are just as busy inventing
as ever, according to the Popular Sci
ence Monthly. Among tin* most recent
inventions are the following: A wrest
ling dummy for gymnasium practice;
a life-preserver which keeps its occu
pant afloat and warm; an instrument
which enables you to see the sounds
that you sing; a perisfope attachment
for field-glasses; a combination Christ
mas tree-holder, telephone stand and
tabouret; a rain alarm to make the
hired girl get up and close the win
dows ; a machine that massages your
pains away with air; and a mechanical
telephone operator which takes down
tlie number of a call or a message
when you are out. *
Beat Weather Man ‘i
Scientific weather prediction by man
and animal instinct are being investi
gated at tlie University of Kansas.
Two prairie dogs, in a cage in tlie
basement of the university natural his
tory museum, never fail to predict had
weather by going Into their burrow and
refusing to come out, even for food.
Sometimes before the government
weather signals are flying on a nearby
university building the two dogs have
disappeared into their burrows.
They never yet have missed giving
a correct forecast, although they live
in a big room with heavy stone walls,
where the temperature is approximate
ly the same tlie year around.

In every obstinate error there lurks,
usually, u’.i excellent truth that awnits

There Is no fun like work. This is

At a Safe Distance.
A traveling man who occupied a
train scat '••■th a minister wished to
take' him d.i.vn a peg or. two, and fco
said: “lhue you never heard that each
time a minister is hanged in Paris an
ass is hanged at the same time?” The
clergyman blandly replied: "Well, let
us both be thankful that we are not
in Paris.”—Everybody's Magazine.
