j ALL COAL DEALERS
MUST BE LICENSED.,
I -
Special to Independent,
j Little Rock, Sept. 7.—It. C. Couch,1
U. S. Fuel Administrator, is insisting
upon regular and accurate reports
of coal distribution by each county
chairman of the state. All dealers are
required to be licensed. When per
mits are granted for individual or col
lective buying of a car-load of coal,
it should be definitely understood by
; those receiving the permit that the
distribution will be reported to the
county chairman immediately the car
! is unloaded. This will greatly facili
tate the keeping of records, that dis
tribution may be carefully regulated.

One Hundred and fifty Newspapers
in Foreign Languages Are
Printed in City.
—
No fewer than ir,0 newspapers In
! foreign tongues are printed in New
York. Japanese, Lettish, Persian and
i Slovak — and many other foreign
. peoples may in that city of diverse
i nationalities read u newspaper in their
| own tongue.
j Socialistic and anti-Sociallstic, anar
chistic, Kionistic or anti-Zionlstic are
'those foreign papers. They often are
organs of workingraen’*s organizations,
but most of all are the organs of city
politics.
’ When a Russian paper publishes an
article entitled: “Is Patriotism Incur
able?” and an anarchistic sheet in
quires, “Wliat would happen if the
president died?” it; it any wonder that
church and government become uneasy
and agree that this babe! of tongues
can bear watching?
On the other hand, the influence of
many of these foreign papers is along
the iine of Americanization. “One who
has once drunk out of America’s foun
tain,” declares one with enthusiasm,
“will always remain a free slave of the
country.”
The Greek who wants to “obey that
impulse” may read Kapanos; the Foie.
Molyl; there is also, a Yiddish big
OLi'wlV-UUUUJ^ LU I 1VUI JJU.C U1 HUUJU1.
There is a Spanish movie magazine, a
baking magazine in Yiddish, a Greek
emporium devoted to confectionery
and of course a French fashion paper.
The Japanese Nippon Jin parallels the
Literary Digest. Surely here is mate
rial to satisfy the most varied taste.
PARTNERSHIP THAT WAS EVIL
Disastrous Results to the World Fol
lowed the Close Linking of
Diplomacy and Trade.
Familjcr enough throughout the
Orient were the disillusioned drum
mers, cursing the heat in Kipling’s fic
tion, sipping their brandy-pegs and
waiting for the local raja to liquidate
his bills. The last important figure in
this si age of the relation of the west
ern trade to eastern potentates was
that nonentity Abdul Aziz of Morocco
—Important, because diplomacy and
trade at last faced the logical end of
their evil partnership. Once, it is said,
he met a camel caravan bearing his
most recent consignment of pianos
through the desert. The sultan ordered
a grand to be set up in the sands,
struck a few notes and galloped away
on his caparisoned Barb. The Stein
j way remained a landmark for cara
vans until the Arab overcame his su
; perstition and broke it up for firewood.
! All of which was romance of a kind
i lhat inspired musical comedies, revolv
! ing around the glorified drummer as
| the power behind the throne, and 1 is
I fabulous contracts.'--But there were re
i wards more epochal than picturesque
! as a result of this effort to hustle the
! east. In Asia the story became famil
j iar enough. It soon found an uglier
j sequel in Africa. The treasure trove
of Aladdin was exhausted in the
<• _ _i . ii .fl „ l
<umm o J.UJ tuutcooiuno , -lie**,
lowing trade soon outstripped it; and
the rest is merely the “liaut politique”
that culminated in the world war.—
W. G. Thickom-Fernandez in Asia
Magazine.
A Super-Word.
The recent vogue of the word "some”
as an adjective, in a sense for which
there is absolutely no synonym in the
dictionary, has been the despair of
many a parent and pedagogue. "The
language is being pauperized,” they
cry. Nonsense. It would be nearer
the mark to say it is being vitalized.
Watch a healthy schoolboy when he
tells you he has Just come from
“some” bail game, and you will per
ceive that the offending word has
ceased to be a mere linguistic sign and
j has become a kinetic current within
the body, a movement of the spirit.
: Some word, it 1 A true super-word, In
fact. Philosophize on it—and on the
! kindred subject of slang—and you may
discover why, when a man’s vocabu
lary begins to expand, his powers of
expression are generally on the wane.
