Sunday School is Booming

The M ethodist South Sunday schoolis enjoying an era of pros perity that has seldom been re- corded in Sunday School history, especially about the town of Green Forest. The attendance has long since passed the hun dred mark and prosperity in both interest and numbers in- creases.
 Many heads of families that have been deaf to the chimes of the Sunday School bells have awakened to a sense of their duty and are on time at every service.
 The campaign for numbers is due to great extent to Col. c. l. Forsyth, who has gone out in the highways and by his per- suasive powers, has compelled them to come in.
 However, the efforts of Super intendent Azdell as we'll as other influential school workers have been in harmony with the boom methods, and everything bids fair to keep the school up to and even pass it's present high water mark.
 Similar conditions to those at the Methodist Sunday School obtain at the Baptist church, only different. The even tenor with which things have moved in Baptist circles in Green Forest for many months past has about strained out into a coarse bass, judging from the surface indi- cations. The Sunday School is about all the Baptist cause there is left and the most that can be said of it is that it is good what there is of it.
 The Baptist people of Green Forest have reason to be sorry for the manner in which their cause is tagging. They should profit by the good example that is now being set by their neigh bors and getin and drill on the Sunday School question. There are yet lots ol folks in Green Forest who might be induced to attend Sunday school. The Methoiists could fill their house to overflowing and still there would be lots of home5 not represented within the sound of the church bell.

Headache?

If it does, you should try Dr. Miles, Anti-Pain Pills. Why not do so. They will relieve the. pain in just a few min- utes. Ask your druggist There are 45,000 druggists in the U. s. Ask any of them. A package of 9 doses costs 25 cents. One tablet usually stops a headache. They relieve pain without leaving any disagreeable after-effects isn't that what you want9
 My son Frank Snyder has used Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills for a long time. He never had anything to help him so much for headache. year ago he came home. and was down sick with such dreadful nerv- ous headache He gave me one or the Anti-Pain Pills, and after while I took another and was entirely re- ieved. always keep them in the house now, and gave many away to others suffering with headache"

 There have been few more com- plete surprises sprung in Green Forest than was the one given Adolphus DeBarr, by his wife on last Tuesday, the event being in honor of the birthday of MT. De- Barr, who was seventy four years young on that day. When the head of the household re- turned to his dinner at high noon, he found in waiting a majority of the members of the Masonic lodge, together with their wives, who had been in- vited to par.ake of what was found to be one of the most elegant dinners that a graduate in the culinary science could prepare. MT. DeBarr was overcome with surprise and delight when he realized what was about to happen. The fol- lowing persons participated: A. J. Cox and wife, c. B. Grim and wife, c. P. Irby and wife, Rev. J. H. Ruble and wife, J. A. Wilcox and wife, J. B. Reeves and wife, M. V. Light. burn and wife, A. M. Webb and wife, Dr Poynor and wife, A. J. Tabor and wife, J. L. Russell and wife, A. B. Wilson and wife, W. A. Butt and J. L. Rhodes. As a token of their regard a stock of smoking and the necessary utensils for it's use were present. ed by the boys, which used tenn perately will enable MT. DeBarr to have substantial remembrance of the occasion for some time to come. For all which he thanked the doners sincerely, not so much for the value of the goods, but for the intentions. MT. De- Barr is a very enthusiastic "square man" end he always makes full hand in every Masonic undertaking even, if it comes in the form of a surprise birthday dinner on his own ac- count.
 In order to secure a suitable room for Blaine Rhodes big stock of goods the grocery business of Charlie Wells has been purchas- ed and the Poynor building will be fitted up for MT. Rhodes.
 Heir No. 1, the finest kind of a fine boy, arrived at the homo of MT. and Mrs. Ed Puckett on Thursday morning. In honor of the event Ed is presenting each of his old customers with one first class shave.

The Elder Clerks.

To the Editor or i ne star:
What will become of me when old age
overtakes me and 1 am no longer able
to do the work l have been doing for the
best part of my life" This is the ques-
ton that confronts the government clerk
day after day Injured to a life of ro,I-
tine with no time after Office hours in
which to accomplish anything more than
u little rest and needed recuperation for
the morrow. how is this question to be
answered unless some way Is cleared by
the advancement of retiring fund
through which the needs Of humanity
NAV be assured to old age when it comes
to the faithful. plodding government en-
ploye?
In these prosperous times when prices
are higher than ever before. and the pros
perity is not to the large ma sjority of
people. but to the thrifty business man
instead of the salaried clerk. the gov
ernment employe is not sharer in the
that while this prosperity Is going for
the financier he is growing worse and
worse Off, because his pay stands still
while everything else is moving on.
is II unreasonable TO ask that some
provision be made to insure to these
faithful efficient and patient drudges a
little comfort In their declining years?
A premium seems to be placed upon mere
youth while experience. ii coupled with
ripe years. goes to the wall. The highest
enough to rear a family upon and put
anything away. Yet it would seem that
this is expected Of us. and If the largest
salary is not enough to guarantee an in
dependence In old age. what Of the lowest
salaries, and the large majority Is Of
these? The duties of citizenship require
right living in human sanitary surround
ings. and surely the government clerk Is
entitled to such conditions. but the aver
axe salary is too meager to supply more
than the actual needs In a place like
Washington and not enough to put any of
1t away.
In England the hours of labor for the
government employees. who are of both
sexes are from 10 O'Clock am. to 3
o'clock pm. and the old clerks are re-
tired on pensions. Why cannot we do
here what is done there? If the old
clerks must get out. is 1t not the height
of cruelty to turn them adrift when they
are less able than ever before to take
care of themselves? What Is to become
of the single men or women who have
never had time or freedom from caring
for others dependent upon them to marry
and consequently have no children 10
care for them in their old age? Many
die In harness. but for those who live to
the age Of sixty years a living pension
should be assured to them that they at
least will not have as their reward
cold dependence upon relatives or the
poorhouse In which to end their days
