Parading for Preparedness
seems to be quite a popular diver
sion just now. The trouble is,
however, that while many parade
but few enlist.
The Telegraph tells us that Mrs.
Claude Grahame-White, wife of a
particularly daring aviator in the
English army, is suing her husband
for a divorce. Why sue for di
vorse? If she waits just a short
while she will get her separation
in the natural way.
THE LACK OE STEEL
The makers of farm implements
are justly excited over the ac
tions of the steel makers in taking
care of European trade before fill
ing the orders placed by the home
concerns. The demands of the
users of the munitions of war in
Europe are receiving all the atten
tion now, while the farmer may
wait for months for his implements.
The situation is a serious one and
the implement journals are talking
about nothing else just now. The
users of steel in this country are in
the same predicament that the
users of paper have occupied for
several months. Printers and pub
lishers have borne the brunt of tie
paper burden since January first.
Unless the war ends soon they will
bear it for some time to come. As
has been mentioned during the past
two years, the burden of war falls,
like the gentle dew from Heaven,
on the just and unjust alike.
AT A LOSS TOR ISSUES.
The Republicans and Bull Moos
ers at Chicago had the toughest
job ever cut out for a political
convention. As they began to
ponder, they found that they did
not have a single issue on which to
go before the American people, nor
did they have a single man among
the Repulicans or Bull Moosers
who represented any kind of an is
sue in which the American people
are interested.
The fact of it is that President
Wilson by his clean, able and pa
triotic administration has left room
for no issue the Republicans can
present. They are simply dying of
hunger for office and the grafters,
who always thrive and fatten when
thj Republicans are in power, are
dcing all that they can, to injure
the good name of President Wil
son. But it is not as easy to fool
the people as it was twenty years
ago, and they know mighty well,
tnat they were exceedingly fortun
ate in having Woodrow Wilson in
the White House when the terrible
war broke out in 1914 and which
has drawn every great nation into
its deadly embrace except the
United States. The country has
simply made up its mind that one
good term deserves another, and
so it is going to retain the able and
incorruptible services of President
Wilson for another term, instead of
exchanging him for one whose fit
ness, judgment and leadership
would be an experiment of uncer
tain and possibly disastrous results.

“Flaming Hand” Shooting From
Sky Alarms the Superstitious
The “Flaming Hand’’ That Baffles Scientists.
The “Flaming Hand” is the name giv
en to an unaccountable bit of meteor
which today is puzzling scientists.
This remarkable object fell on the
farm of Henry Prantl of Bakersvllle,
N. J., exactly one month after the death
of his son Rudolph. This coincidence
led to the belief among superstitious
neighbors that it came as an omen.
The bit of meteor was sizzling hot
when it fell and did not cool for hours.
What baffles scientists who have
viewed it is the fact that the material
of which it is composed is unlike oth
er meteoric compositions that have
been seen in this part of the world.
The “hand" shot from the sky with a
great white light, according to persons
living in the neighborhood. It is light
in weight and resembles the hand ol
a human being grasping something as
if in anguish. The “thumb’’ and "lit
tle finger’’ are exceptionally long and
there are nails on some of the “fin
gers.” The first, middle and ring “fin
gers” are drawn closely together as
though In pain. What corresponds tc
the wrist has the appearance of having
been burnt ofT and shows black
1 charred edges.
Preparedness Parade.
With marchers from all parts of
the State lined up, each carrying

Preparations are under w^y to en
tertain thousands of visitors. The
railroads will make special rates
from all points in the state. A
contest among all bands in Arkan
sas with the exception of those in
Little Rock, a double-header ball
game, an address by a speaker of
national prominence, an elaborate
fire works pagenant at night and
other features yet to be provided
will combine to make the event
notable in the state's history. It
will be called Arkansas Prepared
ness Day.
