The joke printed in this paper recently
concerning the delinquent subscriber
who would not pay the editor
and went to church the following Sunday
and sang louder than anybody
else: "Jesus Paid It All," created
many a laugh, especially as it was
told that tho editor sent him a rocpint

that he wished he could settle his

truth than either poetry or laughter

ATE HORSE MEAT.
In the October Woman's Home Com
panion a French woman gave her personal
recollections of the siege of
Paris at the close of the Franco-Prussian
war, when the half-starved people
resorted to the most desperate efforts
to obtain food. What they were
forced to eat is described in the following
extract from the article:
"For four months I never saw a
piece of bread. A few potatoes we had
but long before the siege was over
they had gone. All hordes disappeared
from the streets. The Government
took them, and the elephants in the
parks. We were issued a card on
which was indicated how much horse
or elephant meat would be allotted to
us every four days. Horse meat was
not bad, but dogs?Icould not bear it.
And there were those who ate much
than dogs.
"I walked home alone one afternoon
in the dusk; two old men. bevond tho
age of military service, walked in
front of me, and as they came opposite
our house one stopped and snatched
something hastily from the ground
hiding it in a bag. " 'It will mean
food to-morrow,' " he said triumphant
ly to his companion.
"Afterwards I discovered what it
was that they had snatched up so
eagerly; it was our cat."
During Court times it nearly always
rains. The Judges and other officers
of the Court in getting to the
Court House have to wade. The town
has been frequently reminded that it
was necessary that cement walks be
laid down from the business portion
of the town, down to the Court House
anc^Jail, but so far no movement has
been made to accomplish this. Referring
again to the low land behind
the main business block of the town,
any ordinary rain will fill it up with
water, thus making a great menace to
I he health of the people who have to
work around it, as well as a great inconvenience.
Recently at the new
post office in Conway, one of the Rural
Free Delivery carriers had to wade
to get to the back door of the post office
to get out his mail.
We hope these conditions will be
remedied and remedied soon.

LEAVE SOMETHING
TO PROSTER1TY.
Recently the writer passed through
a rural community where he had passed
the last time seventeen years before.
The place when seen the first
time was striking for a rural community
for the reason that there were
fertile looking farms on each side of
the public road for a considerable distance,
the homes of the people wc re
clustered rather close to-gcther, and
the farms were outlying; and about
the middle of. the territory on a piece
of land rather higher than the rest,
was the cemetery or burying ground
of the community, and the graves
were marked with suitable headstones
and covered over with large, beautiful
shells. It had the air then of a
iroi'U ni?Acnfti<Aiiu ?<> ' ~
i \-i (| viuo vwillllllllllljf WIH." i!
thoughts would turn to the commodious
farm houses where seemingly
there reigned peace and plenty and a
full share of earthly happiness to the
inmates. We have here presented a
view of the way in which the place
struck us at the time seventeen yearR
ago, when we first saw it. The picand
its vision was never lost.
Now in a community like that you
will be surprised when we say that if,
in all that period of seventeen years,
there had been any perceptible im
provcment in that community as view tl
ed from the public road, there was n
nothing visible to the eye to prove it. a
The dwellings were exactly the same,
with the exception of one that had I]
been remodeled and one that was an L
entirely new cottage. All the others
were the same, except that they looked
more weather-beaten. The cemetery
had been increased insize, but the ?
monuments marking the graves, even
the new ones, were of pattern like the
older ones used there seventeen years
before. The fields were just as fer- n;
tile and they were growing just as fine o:
crops, but no finer than they were
growing seventeen years ago. The '
road passing through the community, c.
one and now, had not been improved s<
in one single respect. The school n<
house stood just where it did before., t(
. k
mid was exactly the samfc. Seventeen ,,
years ago the hogs and cattle, while o1
Considered fine for that period, were in
about the same as the animals about vi
the place now. S1
* 1
The question naturally came to ^
mind: What has this people done in r
all this length of time to improve
their way of living? What have they m
done to make it better for their chilren,
the rising generations growing |?
up to maturity to take the places of
the older ones? There was nothing
we could see that had been done. And
the next question was: If nothing p
was don cin a prosperous community,
as this evidently was and is, what
could be expected in a community
m
where the people, owing to the poor- ^
ness of the soils could barely make C1
enough grow from the land to sus- A
tain life, and luxuries of every kind w
were unknown ? ^
It goes without doubt that the ere- ^
ator of man intended him to live in 7
this world and not only multiply as to Si
his numbers, but that he should use d<
Viie hroinc on/1 m liconlnv r m ^
tiu UiitillU HUM U1UOVU1U1 CIIVI 111
w
trying to leave the world a better
ac
place than he found it and therefore q
making it a more fit place for his de- pJ
scendants to live and have their time, n;
When a man fails to carry out this *a
plan in our opinion he has missed l'ul- m
at
filling his destiny, and has shirked his j
duty. Children were given to man and pj
woman for more purposes than one. tt
Great improvements and discoveries 81
have come through the course of the el
, t ,.. . n
centuries by means of the transmis- ^
sion of what men have done on down ei
to those coming after them in indef- ai
inite succession. There is a great de- a1
sire in most men and women to accumulate
and leave to their prosterity
more or less of a fortune so that they
are provided for after the parents are fc
gone. When the parents do this, they tr
have performed their duty to their ^
own posterity, and if their children ^
fail to improve -what they have left' a]
for them, and ?o backward instead of hi
forward, they, the parents are not to di
blame. ^a
ir
On the other hand there are so ^
many who through ignorance or dis- n,
~,i ~ui: ?,4-: ?r 1 :r_ ?? o
tugaiu ui men wun^auung Ul Hie p**y
no attention to anything that is not
closely connected with their immedoJ
iatc present. They hardly ever have
studied the past, never do they look jr
into the future to try to anticipate it ol
in any way. Those it is who fail to ls
make any effort toward improvement
ol
either in their individual lives or in
the lives of the community as the gen- (j
erations come and go.
Ther is not a man or woman either sl
who has not the ability, more or less, k
of making improvement of some kind.
ell
discoveries have been brought to light r<
by the most humble of men,?things Y
that have led to wonderful results in n
making this world a better place f,>
. _ w
wherein for man to dwell. Those who
o
made the discoveries in many cases (j
received no benefit from them, but a
their works have lived after them and <>
will live on for all time benefitting l(
the human race as a whole.
Let the individuals of every community
take the right thought about
this matter. When they do, and in acS
eordancc with their changed feelings ^
in that respect, wake up to the fact
that something is required of them by d
generations that are to follow in the e
world, then we will not have it to say *(
that in the course of seventeen years
01
there is no apparent improvement in
a community. There is a disposition
on the part of many to keep on along
the same old ruts they have always
been going, and their only reason for
doing it is that their fathers before p
hem did it. It is a habit that all
lankind wants to get out of as soon
s possible.
IATTLE OF ftlSNE
STILL GOES ON
INTERING UPON THE FOURTH
WEEK OF THE STRUGGLE,
BATTLE MAY LENGTHEN
LONGER.
The Times correspondent at Eperay,
France, telegraphing under date
f Sunday, says:
"The battle of the French rivers

"Now that the perfection of the

i which one is pitted against an inisible
foe who is never seen until he
wrings suddenly from his hiding
lace. The countryside along the
isne is a vast military rabbit war?n.
"Both sides are resolutely determined
not to give ground."

and Chattanooga en route to Atnta.
Arrangements are now being
ade for special service from Texas
id southwestern points. Exceptionly
low rates have been granted,
irticularly in the territory south of
le Potomac and east of the Missisppi,
where the rate per mile will av-age
1V6 cents. Greatly reduced
ites have also been granted in westrn
territory, as well as on the eastm
trunk lines, so that all delegates
id visitors will find travel possible
: an exceptionally low cost.
On account of the great improveent
made within the past few years
i the public highways south of Wash
igton, considerable interest is maniisted
in touring facilities. Among
ip by automobile are members of
le State Board of Public Roads of
hode Island who expect to attend
ie Congress in a body. Not least
mong the important factors which
ave been made for better road conitions

CITY (IF ANTWERP I
! TAKEN BY GERMANS
INHABITANTS HAD TO FLEE TO
SAVE THEIR LIVES AT LAST
TOOK ELEVEN DAYS
During Which Time the Strong Forts
Stood,?These Hid to Surrender
Finally to the Fire of German Guns,
?Strongest Fortress in the World.
Elsewhere in this paper is account
of the shelling of Antwerp by the
German army and how the strongest
fortress in the world was holding out
out against the most terrible fire ever
directed against a city in history.
Now comes the news the first of the
week that the city has fallen.
Antwerp and the forts surrounding
*he city are in complete possession of
'ho Germans, but the greater part of
the Belgian army escaped. It took
the Germans just 11 days to capture
the strongest fortress in the world.
The city was set afire in many places
by the German shells.
The fall of Antwerp is evidence
that even the most powerful forts are
no match for the colossal howitzers
which the invaders have successfully
employed against every fortified place
that stood in their way. These huge
guns open gaps through which the
besiegers find an cntrace for their
field artillery and infantry.
The Germans, after shelling the city
itself for many hours, making it untenable,
entered the town through the
surburbs of Berchem, to the east.
They had made a breach in the outer
line of forts, some of which were destroyed,
by their big guns and others
blown up by the defenders.

Reliable Information That Count Zeppelin
is Getting Ready to Attack
England from the Air.
In a dispatch from the Hague the
correspondent of the Daily Express
says German newspapers reaching
there indicate that Count Zeppelin is
now at Wilhelmshavcn, on the North
Sea. with his staff. Wilhelmshaven
is the point from which the great air
raid on the British Isles is expected
to start. One of these papers publishes
an interview with the count in
which he is quoted as saying that he
had not forgotten England and would
prove it very soon.
To Extend Influence.
Means of extending its influence in
public affairs and a symposium on
general conditions in the South were
the topics considered last Thursday by
the American Institute of Banking at
the final educational session of its annual
convention at Dallas, Texas.
Need New Uniforms.
The possibility of having to furnish
new clothes for the millions of soldiers
in the war may have to be seriously
considered if the conflict is prolongd
through the winter.
Will Make Investigation.
' The Rockefeller institute announced
last Thursday that it had decided to
make a far-reaching investigation of
industrial conditions in the United
States and that it had retained the
services of W. L. Mackenzie King,
former minister of labor in Canada1
as director of the investigation.
Wheat Prices.
Issuing stocks at Liverpool and continued
heavy receipts in the American
northwest brought about a further
decline but shorts overing brought
about a rally. Opened 7-8 ofT to 1-8
up, followed by a drop of nearly 2
| cents in some cases, but the greater
part of the loss was regained.

The Money Difficulty.
President Wilson believes that mobilisation
of the country's credits will
suffice to solve the problem of the cotton
growers, he told callers last week.
The organization of the Federal Reserve
system would help the situation
an4 referring to efforts to secure the
cotton men, said he believed there

but the difficulty was to get it to the
