The buy a bale of cotton movement has been supplanted in a great many instances by the buy a ton of coal movement. It is said that Sears & Roebuck and other such concerns have declined to join the buy-a-bale movement. This is another argument in favor of the homo merchant. The short skirt is to come in fash ion again to give the cotton pettieoats a show, says a news item. Then there is some good in the short skirt, after all.

The union I* as neces sary an outgrowth of our mod em industrial system as is the corporation. The wise and far sighted employer will recognise this fact He will appreciate that the men tn the employ of a great corporation have the right of collective bargaining. But the union must accept the responsibility that comes with power. It must recognise its obligation to the industry nnd to the community as a whole. It must be Judged by Its conduct precisely as a corporation is Judged by its conduct. It must do Its utmost to promote the efficiency of its members, for un less the business Is increasingly productive there will be no suf ficient reward for anybody, no profit to the shareholders, no ad equate wage for the working man. no proper service to the public.—Theodore Roosevelt TNI MARSEILLAISE.

The first carload shipment of goats ever made on the White River divis ion was forwarded Monday from Retd Springs by W. C. Boss. The shipment included three cars, all consigned to the Kansas City stoik yards. The goats will bring about 33 per head, and cost little, as no feeding is nec essary. Lake City, the eastern seat of Craighead sounty, 15 miles east of Jonesboro, was visited by a disastrous fire yesterday. The loss was about 325,000.

The rice yield is inusually heavy, and much of it al ready has been cut and threshed. John Milt Jones, the pioneer peanut grow er of the county, has 47 acres in pea >uts, and anticipates a yield that will et 870 to the acre. H e also has 60 •mgs on his farm. He sold eight hogs recently for 1 cents a pound. Horace G. Poynor of Harrison, rep resentative of Carroll county in the Arkansas legislature years ago, was in Little Rock this week, en route home from Mississippi. He advances the idea that on* effective remedy for the overproduction of cotton is to place a privilege tax upon its growth. He says that if the state would aa sesa each bale of cotton 81, or 85, or any sum agreed upon a* just, it would not only reduce the production in the state, but would pay the state debt, . and solve the problem of the general revenue. ’ The McPherson Post, G.

As a matter of fact, he HI ■ was telling about the loss of his home by fire, together with about all he had, II ■ including his year’s supply of canned fruits. He said it was about the tough- ■ ■ est condition he had ever “bucked” up against, but he didn’t see anything else || ■ to do but keep a “bucking.” ■] I u > Th . is is the kind of grit we all need j ust now - Instead of looking at the II ■ dark cloud that overspreads our country and the whole earth, we need to look || ■ at the “silver lining.” For, despite the disturbance over seas, the Growers, || ■ Producers, Manufacturers and Merchants of this great land have good reason HI ■ to recognize the fact that there IS a silver lining to even- cloud. It devolves HI ■ upon each patriotic citizen to do his part. l»e it big or little, in maintaining that HI ■ even tenor, strong confidence, and st?ady purpose that are the foundation HI ■ stones of actual, material prosperity. ■] I THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS I H situation in Europe, caused by the war, means that greater business II ■ is going to come to our own shores. We shall have a better market for all our |l ■ live stock and grain and fped-stuffs, and our manufacturers will have great 11 ■ demand upon them for goods that have heretofore been imported. || I .u tf 1 *" 1081 encouraging feature of the situation today is the fact that II ■ the Federal Reserve Banks provided bv Act of Congress are going to open 11 ■ for business on November the 16th. On that day the country will go from an II ■ unsafe,, unsound, unscientific financial system to one that is eminently sound || ■ and helpful, and that will provide the long-needed “elastic” currency?
