displace the city market or any other
middleman in the city. SO will it not
be able to displace the middeman in
the country. The middleman will ever
be with us, because under our system
The parcel post is at the disposal of

JAECHER GOES TO
Fight FOR FRANCE
"Frenchy' Quits Job at
Country's Call and Hur-

Declaring that his country needed
Brannon, at the Owl saloon, where
he had been employed as a cook
since his arrival in the city, August
]aeCher left for ST. Louis this MORN
ing at 1850 from whence he will go
to New york and then sail foi
France, where he will enlist in the
French army.
Jaecher received a telegram yes
terday morning from the consul at
New Orleans stating that ticket was
being wired him to New York and
that his services were needed in the
French army. "Frenchy" as he is
commonly known, lost no time in
making ready to return to his father
land and immediately served lotice
on MS boss, that while their relations
were most pleasant, he must leave to
serve his country.
After spending a day of happiness
at the thought that he is again called
upon to take up arms with his old
comrades, French" waited until
dusk last evening for the ticket to
comrades. "Frenchy" waited until
New York, but up to that time no
ticket was forthcoming. Dishearten-
ed at the thought that he was not
going to be able to leave on the first
train, the patriotic Frenchman told
his friends of the non-arrival of the
ticket, and suggestions that he wait
until today were offered by many.
These "Frenchy" needed not, and
as train-time drew near he again APP
preached his friends displaying a
ticket to ST. Louis and informing
them that he purchased it himsel.
and was ready to leave and do honor
to his country. He proposes to get a
ticket at the consulate at st. Louis
for the remainder-of the journey
and upon presentation of his receipt
vii be refunded his fare, which he
paid from this city.
"Frenchy' was in very happy
mood, and said that he was only too
glad to answer the call from hls
country.
81 have only been waiting for an
opportunity to return" he said and
now at this critical moment, when my
services are worth more to my cOun-
try than to anyone else, it Is with
pleasure that l return and gladly
tender my services. l have hourly
expected this call and had it "aot
come, ! would have volunteered my
services"
"Frenchy" has served as an officer
in the French army previous to COM
ing to Pine Bluff, and is said to have
had a fine war record.
