SELECT ONLY ABLE ME\.
Every county in the state of
Arkansas should follow the exam
ple of Pulaski county in the selec
tion of their delegates to the Con
stitional Convention to be chosen
next June.
Four of the best qualified citi
zens of Little Rock have been
assured of election by' petitions
circulated among the voters pledg
ing their selection if they will ac
cept the honor. This not only as
sures Pulaski of having able men
in the convention but eliminates
the necessity of a campaign on the
part of the men to be elected, each
of whom could not and probably
would not neglect their business to
make a campaign against the class
of men who would oppose them.
Unless we have the most capa
ble men in this body we predict the
new constitution will meet defeat
at hands of the voters when sub
, mitted to them for their approval
The delegates will only draw $4
per day for their services which will
not pay the expenses- of a y one
living outside of the capitol city,
but there are plenty of loyal citi
zens who would serve without any
remuneration if it were not for the
campaign necessary to secure
election, which campaign can be
eleminated by the petition idea*
The News suggests that the vo
ters of Union county give this mat
ter serious consideration and let
us send a man from old Union that
will be credit to the county and
state. _
An exchange says “bone dry"
has been added to our vocabulary,
and no'doubt, also, applies to many
refrigerators.
A regretable feature of the break
with Germany is the announcement
that our charitable efforts in behalf
of the Belgians must soon cease.
Americans in Belgium, devoting
their time and money to the succor
of a downtrodden and sorrowful
people, have been warned to leave.
It is regretable, too, because gen
erous America has donated millions
to the relief of this little country
and the burden must now fall on
the other neutrals, most of whom
have demands at home which will
prevent their donating much to
others. And Belgium will miss
the American dollar.
Men who preach disarmament at
this time are not patriotic citizens.
Of course every peace-loving man
wants a time of universal peace,
but it is still in the dim and distant
future. Men are so constituted
that they will fight occasionally.
Nations are merely composite
groups of men and they, too, will
resort to force. It is not possible
for nations as they are now consti
tuted to resort to peaceful meth
ods to settle disputes. The Uni
versal Brotherhood of Man may
come sometimes, but it cannot
come now. A nation which dis
arms. refuses to protect .itself,
while other nations are bending
every effort to build a navy and re
cruit an army would be easy prey,
no matter what its size or popula
tion. Disarmament cannot ccme
until it comes unanimously.

^ “Cranny” Chamberlain "Few young mothers realize the extent to
which a cold lowers the systerrf and makes it susceptible to con
tagious diseases. It has been proven that the majority of diseases
arise from germs, but it is not widely known that a healthy sys
tem will repel their attacks.
* Mothers should never allow a cold to run for twenty-four
hours without attention. If this is made a rule there will be less
sickness for young mothers to worry over. A good reliable med
icine for coughs, colds, croup and bronchitis should always be
kept in the home where there are children. You may say that
you have no confidence in cough medicines, but that is because
you have never tried
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
This medicine is thoroughly reliable and has stood the test of
' nearly half a century. No, it will not hurt the children—there is
nothing in it that would even injure the baby.”
Sharing Your Telephone
ONE telephone that has to do the work of two
cannot render the most efficient service.
It's more or less awkward and inconvenient
to answer calls for others and to pass your telephone
to the man across the desk.
When there’s a telephone on every man’s desk
better and quicker service results.
Your desk telephone renders such an intimate,
personal service that to share it means to destroy
something of its usefulness.

Why Veins Look Blue.
It is u peculiar fact that the veins
on the hand or.other surface portions
of the body look blue to the eye, where
as the blood is red. This is because
we see the light reflected back to our
eyes from this blood through the walls
of the veius, which give it a bluish
tiuge.

and love shining in her eyes should be
kiTit hidden until Jerry was there to
see. She heard the door open, and
close again.
“Put them on the table, Fairy dear
est, and. leave me for a little while,
will you? Thank you.” And her face
was still hidden.
Then the table by the bedside was
swiftly drawn away, and Jerry kneeled
beside her, and drew the arm from her
face.
“Jerry!” she whispered, half unbe
lievingly. Then joyously, “Oh. Jurry!"
She gazed anxiously into his face.
“Have you be>n sick? How thin you
are, and so pale! Jerry Ilarmer, you
need me to take care of you, don’t
you?"
But Jerry did not speak. Ho looked
earnestly and steadily into the joyful
eyes for a moment, and then tie
pressed his face to hers.
THE END.
Centrifugal Pump Best.
An electrically driven centrifugal
pump offers many advantages over all
other kinds, foremost' among which is
its adaptability to automatic or re
mote control. The mere throwing of
a hand switch will start or stop the
largest pump. Pressing a button con
trols the smaller sizes. For pumping
water from mines and in similar in
stallations these pumps are provided
with automatic1 control. When the wa
ter reaches a certain level the motor
starts and pumps it out. Instances
are on record where mine pumps and
their driving motors have been totally
submerged for days, but have pumped
themselves clear In a few hours.
