GERMAN TORPEDO BOATS
 WITHIN SWEDISH WATERS
Fired Shots at Steamer Which Dis regarded Order to Put to Sea.

London, Dec 20, HAS D. m.-A des- patch to Reuters Telegram company from Copenhagen states that the steamer Argo, from Copenhagen to Raumo, met two German torpedo boats sailing with lights out, within Swed- ish territorial waters. One of the tor pedo boats ran into the Argo, whose captain fearing that his vessel would sink, prepared to run ashore. The Ger mans objected and ordered the steam CT to proceed seaward. As the cap tain hesitated to obey, owing to the serious danger of loss of life, the Germans fired several shots, without hitting the Argo. The Argo arrived at Anus today for repairs.
 Maritime records show two steamers bearing the name Argo, one British and one Greek. The British steamer Argo was last reported as having ar rived at Manchester on November 27. The Greek steamer of the same name is reported as having arrived at Man chester on November 27. The Greek steamer of the same name is reported as having arrived at Piraeus, Novem- Der 14. There are also four sailing vessels of the same name.

AN EDITOR RLUDSOE.

We're all familiar with the Jin, Hludsoe who'd hold "her nose agln' the bank til the last galoots ashore but net many are familiar with the Editor Bludsoes, who stick to their post of duty as Loyalty as any piloz who ever twirled the wheel on any beat. Britt Adams of the Sheridan Headlight is one of these, as indicat- cd by the following in this weeks j sue oI the Headlight:
 'The editor is still confined to his room and to his bed for the most or the time, with rheumatism, and the copy for this issue has been written with his left hand, the typewriter resting on chair by his bed. Under the circumstances, the paper may not contain as much news as usual, so We beg indulgence of our readers for yet a little while longer In the meantime if you have stray dollar that you can apply on subscription, send it in for we think we need it just little worse than usual.
 Wonder if as much time will elapse before appreciation is shown of the Editor Bludsoe by responding to his appeal as was permitted to pass be- fore the Mississippi and other, heroes were accorded recognition. For Britt's sake, let's hope not.

 ~ ROGRESS PROSPERITY
CALL FOR PATRIOTS.

If Pine Bluff were a small prln- cipality at war with other small municipalities and a call for volun- teers was issued, the man who wou!d not enlist would be regarded as {; coward and summed by all patriots But Pine Bluff is not small duke dom or kingdom, and is not engaged in destructive warfare.
 Pine Bluff IS practically small principality engaged in commercial warfare, and there IS need for her patriots to rally to her support. We want live, progressive men, not to shed their blood, but to contribute some of their money, time and talent to make her a greater and moro pros. porous city, whose factories will pre- vide employment for thousands more people than we now have, and make us all richer.
 A call for these kind of men to en- list in the army oi city builders better known as the Chamber of Com merce, has been issued. The value oi the city building army to Pine Blu'l will depend upon it's strength i'll num- bcrs and equipment.
 Unless Pine Bluffs army of city builders is as strong and well armea as those of other cities similarly sltu' ated there's no more chance of ;' achieving great success in the war fare of enterprise and upbuildins than there was of the Belgians hold ing the Germans The local army ca' make as gallant a fight as did th' Belgians, and like King Alberts army may hold it's own for a brief period but unless the citizens generally sup Ecrt the Chamber of Commerce a! well as the allies are supporting tn Belgians, the hope of 8 great Piu' Bluff is lost.

The Dawn of Christianity
 As Described in THE NEW TESTAMENT
 Translated from the Original Greek.

il. I am become fool in glory ye have compelled me: for ought to have been commended of you: for III nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing. 12. Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all pa tience, in signs, and wonders, ana mighty deeds.
 13. For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except 1t be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.
 IA. Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and l will not be burdensome to you: for l seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
 15. And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less be loved.
 16. But be it so, did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, caught you with guile.
 IF. Did I make gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you!
 IS. I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make gain of you? walked We not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?
 19. Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things. dearly beloved, for your edifying.
 20. For I fear, lest, when l come I shall not find you such as l would and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strlfes, backbitings, whisperings, swelllngs, tumults:
 21. And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many Whlch have sinned already, and have not re- pented of the uncleanness and forn1- cation and lasciviousness which they have committed.

THE LITTER OF THE LAW.

This is no apology for criminals but it is doubtful if tho letter of th'. law should always be enforced
 ''The law is plain" said Victor Hugos character Javert regarding Jean Valjean, who had stolen loaf Of bread after living an ideal life for years.
 Before the civil war thousands of negroes escaped from slavery anI fled to Canada, and the law in the north said they must be returned if caught en route. The law there also was plain, yet comparatively few were returned.
 Jesus Christ told his disciples to enter cornfield and help them selves. The law was plain, yet the greatest law-giver of the ages ignored it.
 iWhCr a man takes absolute neces- sites, the jaw is plain, yet there arc times when it is better to steal than to starve or freeze.
 The letter of the law is plain, and it's spirit is self-evident. But our sense of justice tells us that some times it is unfair to enforce 1t. r.

Second Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the
 CORINTHIANS.
CHAPTER 12,

CHAPTER 12. It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. 2. I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (Whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, cannot tell: God know eth) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
 3. And ] knew such man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, l cannot tell: God knoweth0
 4. How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
 5. Of such an one will glory; yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.
 6. For though I would desire ro glory, I shall not be a foool; for l will say the truth: but now 1 forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.
 7. And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messen- ger of Satan to buffet me, lest should be exalted above measure.
 s. For this thing L besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
 9. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, thta the power or Christ may rest upon me.
 10. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessl- ties, in prosecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake. for when l am weak, then am I strong.

Perkins was bookkeeper and ht was in love- There is nothing unusual about that, as bookkeepers, being human and susceptible, frequently have been known to fall in love. But this man of figures was enamored ot l a high-school teacher whose salary l was almost, if not quite, equal to his own.
 The sensible young woman in the case, while by no means disdalnln. her suitor, was well aware of the fact that two could not live as cheaply as one. Nor did she propose to continue teaching after marriage.
 "Why don't you become certified public accountant?' she asked Per- kins one evening when the high cost of matrimony was the topic under discussion. "They are well paid. At least, the correspondence school ad- vertisements say they are. And yoa have splendid bass voice. If you would only have it trained, Pm sure you could make some money from your singing. Then we could. get along all right"
 But" replied Perkins, "to improve myself in both higher accountancy and music would cost a lot of money and time."
 "Even so,' said his fiancee, "The results certainly would repay vol, and when you, are earning money enough we can live happily ever after"
 To make a long story short, Per lx., ,s J f,,@ Perkins. became more economical of both his time and his money. The musical training he laid out for him. self soon resulted in his getting I good Choir position, and ill due time he became a, co. P. A." His earnings increased accordingly. The habits of thrift he acquired in this way did not desert him, so that now all the money matters of MT. and Mrs. Perkins are handled through checking bank ac- count and in their joint saving account there is a constantly growing fund to be used in building a home for Mir. and Mrs. Perkins and all the little Perkinses.
 In Western city there is a builder by the name of Larson who is bound lO Scl d1Cdu DCCouoC llt hCSPo ht'' eyes open for opportunities and has accumulated a little capital with which to work.
 Last summer an old church build ing was torn down to make way for a new department store. Lawson was able to obtain some of the old tim bers brick and stone for mere sonc as compared with the cost of new material. In the meantime, he had obtained couple of building lots at low price because, while we'll locat ed, they were on slope, aaa a Trs- taining wall and considerable filling | in were necessary to make them suit able for building. After putting aside 1 the top soil of garden and lawn, ths builder leveled Up the lots with earth and broken stone from the big store excavation and then built the foun- dations, chimneys, and practically the entire framework of two houses from the old material.
 On account of the convenient To- cation and the attractive appearance of the houses, Larson had no diff culty whatever in selling these house at just as good price as he could have obtained had they been built en- tirely of new material and on higher priced lots.
