 The members of the Parade Com mittee last night adopted resolutions asking that all business houses or par ties having floats in the Industrial Parade tomorrow night keep the iec- orations on the floats and enter them in the Mardi Gras parade which will be held Friday night. This parade is expected to be almost as elaborate as the industrial parade and much me:- ry-making will be recorded. The Home Decorating Company, with headouarters in the Knox Scull build ing on West Second street, has on display a varied assortment of cos tunes which will be rented to the Elks. All those wishing costumes for the Mard Gras parade should see w. l. Glendon, of the Home Decorating Company, and engage suits lmmedl- ately as it is expected that there will be a rush for them.
 Pine Bluff is now in gala attire and the finishing touches on the decorat- ing of the city were put on last night. A crew of decorators worked well ln- to the night and West Second avenue, especially, presents a most beautiful appearance with its many streamers and flags.
 All arrangements have been com pleted for the entertainment of the visitors and there now remains the usual calm before the storm.

New York, May 19.-White slavery in the city of New York are firmly established upon a commercial basis and those engaged in the purchase and sale of women are thoroughly or ganized, according to the report of George J. Kneeland, of the Bureau of Social Hygiene. of which John D. Rockefeller, Jr, is chairman, made public here today. The investigators of the Bureau found that the great preponderance of women leading lives of prostitution came from the ranks of those engaged in unskilled labor. The bureau reports that the wholesale white slavers ply their trade not only in New York, but extend their nefar ious operations well into South Am erica and as far north as Alaska.

easily maintained and she approved the idea of Pine Bluff asking for a Carnegie donation.
 The matter was discussed at length and finally motion, offered by E. B Bloom, prevailed that Pine Bluff shou- Id put itsself on record as being ready and willing to maintain Carnegie Library for this city and the Library association members will work to that end. A good start in that direction has already been made. Judge w. T. Woodbridge and others approved tho Carnegie movement. It was announce ed last night that Mrs. Bison Hale has been the first contributor to the Li- brary, having sent several fine books to the Library yesterday.
 Executive Committee Meeting
 The executive committee of the Li- brary Association met yesterday mor- ming at 10 o'clock in the Chamber of Commerce assembly hall and plans for last nights meeting were discuss ed. It was decided at the meeting that the temporary quarters for the library be on the sixth floor of the Citizens Bank Building. just across the hall from the Chamber of Con- merce and work toward the establish ment of the temporary library will begin at once.
 The rooms chosen by the executive committe are ideal in location and when the library is established in these rooms, the assembly hall of the Chamber of Commerce can be used as a reading romm. This hall has been kindly offered by the Chamber of Commerce and it is thought that the reading public will take advan- tage of the offer. This will be great advantage to the patrons of the li. brary. as the quarters obtained will be insufficient to easily accommodate a large number at time and still have have room for the books and the librarians office. After securing the books, perodicals, etc., wanted, the patrons can go into the assembly hall and read, which will be a great ac- comodation to them.

RARRERSHOP'S MONEY
 WAS IN THE DRAWER

When Patrolman Phillips tried the door of the barber shop at NO. m West Second avenue last night at late- hour, he found it unlocked and walking in, he found the cash register open, but apparently its con- tents had not been disturbed as a neat sum of money still remained in the drawer.
 1t was not known whether or not an attempt at robbery had been made and up until an early hour this mor- ming the manager of the shop had not been located.

 day Evening.
THE OTHER PROGRAMS
Grammar School to Have Exercises Snb-Freshmen Received Df-
 plomas Last Night.

Light -hearted and happy, the local High School graduates will throw aside the duties and responsibilities of High School life Thursday night and step forth into the outside world to conquer the many obstacles that will invariably thrust themselves in the pathway of the enthusiastic and pro- gressive-spirited young people.

No more shall the meme bers of the senior class hear the old chapel bell boom out ringing for them to lay aside the pleasures of campus play and take up ;hc arluous studies. for they will in all probability never again be High School stuleuts Some will leave in the fall to secure the pol ish and finasfing touches to their High School education, while others will immediately enter business lie and begin on the long fight for finan- cial supremacy.
 The members of the senior class of 1 the grammar schools will receive their certificates of the excellent work they have done and will, on the open-
 ing of the fall term, enter into high i CT work.
 Friday marks the closing of one of the most successful years in the his- tory of the Pine Bluffs public schools and at that time the tired but happy boy shall take up the fish pole and gun instead of his books and slate.
 The program for the commence ment exercises of the High School will begin at 7:30 o'clock Thursday and all who hope to witness the en- tire program will no well to be promptly on time. This arrangement has been made in order that the exer- cises may be completed in time for all who wish to see the elaborate Elks' parade which will begin at 9 o'clock. The senior program follows:

LANE SAYS HE SAVES
 NOTHING FROM SALARY

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 3O.-It costs Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the in terior, $1O,OOO a year to maintain a home as a cabinet officer and $2,00G a year for the lice creams and pin teas," according to a statement he had just made to friends while discussing the high cost of living for government officials in Washington.
 This dissipates his entire salary of $12,000 a year, and he has nothing remaining except the glory.
 Secretary Lane said that he was not extravagant in his home, as he lived in the same residence he occu pied while a member of the interstat commerce commission He pays ST. 300 year rent for the home, has two negro servants and is not a lavish entertainer.

TELEPHONES DIMINISH STOCK
 STEALING IN ALL WESTERN STATES

charge pretty stiff rates but we have had to drop lower and lower as the telephone has come into more genera use and now the owners of stock have come to have a contempt for tho theives knowing they can catch them easily"
 At the offices of the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company the statement was made that hundreds of captures of horse theives who have been trying to run off live stock are made every year through their 600 telephone exchanges. In the seven western states in which the company operates, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Ari- zona, stock stealing has diminished perceptibly in the past few years. The company sends in a general alarm to all offices in the district when notified of the theft of stock and notifies the live stock associations, thus affording a special and peculiar service to the community similar to that given by the law officers. In a great many cases the stock thief does not get dozen miles from the ranch where his crime was committed before the telephone has warned the surrounding country and made his escape impossible Evi- dence against him is secured by tho telephone also, making his conviction certain It is estimated the stock re covered last year by use of the tele- phone amounted to more than mil lion dollars.

INTERESTING LETTER FROM FAR.AWAY MAINE
Mrs. A. F. White, of the valley, has written a friend as follows:

Mrs. A. F. White, of the valley, has written friend as follows:
 Milo, Maine, Aug. g, 1913. I have wanted to write you ever since I came to Maine telling you of the delightfully."- cool weather we are having here, thinking it may have some effect on Yuma; but as hear from there is that Yuma is so cool this year they are advertising it as summer resort, and you don't need any cooling letters.
 Maine is an ideal place to spend summer. With it's beautiful green hills, lakes and mountain streams, and springs of the purest, sparkling water. The rugged rocky coast all combined makes it very picturesque and have spent about three days of the week autoing over the state. Took one trip up into northern Maine, fol lowing the Canadian border part Of the way, to the far-famed Aroostook country, famous for the greatest po- tato raising in the United shrdluhrdl tato raising country in the United States. We saw fields of 100 acres, all in bloom, which looked like a der, pink and white.
 Mrs. Tony Leger and baby of Yuma, are spending the summer in Santa Cruz, Calif., visiting an old friend, Mrs. George Morton, former Yumaite.
 Houlton is the county seat, and the shipping point for the potato crop. We spent two nights there. There were nine hundred cars ready to take the early crop to market. The small ones and those not fit to ship are taken to the starch factories, so that starch making is quite an industry.
 We passed through twenty-eight miles of unbroken wilderness away from the farming country. The for rest extended into Canada and as fal as the eye can reach.
 Last Sunday I went twelve miles to a Methodist camp meeting. The day was as hot as any day in Yuma, with the exception of the extreme hot days, and in two days time we had to have fire to keep warm.
 I leave here on September 1, on my return trip, expecting to reach Yuma the last of September, after visiting friends and relatives from Minneap- oils to Seattle and Portland.
 Sincerely,
 MRS. A. F. WHITE,

Special to the Yuma Daily Examiner
 DENVER, Colo, Sept. 2.-One of the large live stock insurance compan- ies that has been writing insurance to protect against stealing horses and other live stock has decided to with draw from the business in this sec tion of the west. The stealing of horses, it is stated, has fallen off so that the demand for insurance of this character has been very slight in the past few years.
 'I attribute a great part of this to the widespread use of the telephone, said an official of the insurane com. pany. 'In the days when we first began writing insurance on stock in the mountain states a horsethief us ually got away with his prize. He was usually mounted on as good horse as those who followed him and as he had several hours start, was seldom caught. Now it is easy to arouse an entire state by telephone, and cause the ar rest of all suspects until the thief is found. Since one telephone company covers all the states in the inter noun tain country they pay special attention to emergency messages intended to recapture stolen horses. The owners of horses seem to have come to the conclusion that it is better to spend their money for telephone tolls than to lay it out for insurance. In the past year we have had many owners of stock refuse to renew their policies saying that the presence of the tele- hone in their house was a practical form of insurance and that stealing stock would soon be a thing of tho past. Nearly all of them told of some incident where stolen stock had been recaptured by the use of the telephone and at a cost considerably less than our yearly premium. We used to
