CHURCH AS COMMUNITY CENTER

"The church of tomorrow will be 9 community rather than a sectarian institution"
 Thus spoke a noted man recently.
 "The day Of emphasis upon cresdal distinctions is past. The neighbor- hood division of religious interests keeps all the churches weak and in- jures religion. The church which IT ost adequately ministers to it's uhcle neighborhocd will thrive best in the communities-rura and ur- ban-in the future"
 There is great food for thought in tl.ese words. If churches can be of greater benefit to the community by becoming Community centers, thus strengthening their positions in the communities and aiding the co'1 mu- mites at the same time, there seems to be no valid argument against it.

CONGRATULATIONS.

Pine Bluff is to be congratulated upon the manner in which it's people observed the birthday anniversary of the Christ.
 The great majority of folk cele- b-ated in a most befitting and ap- rropriate manner-quietly and with tteir own loved ones.
 There seemed general desire t" show kindness and consideration-a'' seemed imbued with the true Christ mas spirit.
 Conspicuous by their absence was the nurber of "drunks." Less than half dozen intoxicated persons were noted by the writer, and two cf these were negroes.
 Truly, was there never such a Christmas in Pine Bl"ff as that of 1915.
 Churches we're well filled with vorshippers; Christmas tree cele- rrations were delightful and prolific of pleasure to the old and young.
 Pine Bluff spent Christmas in clean and appropriate manner.
 This is as it should ba, neverthe- less
 It is gratifying to nose the progress toward better things: toward full realization and appreciation of the significance of the event commemo rated as indicated by the display O. desire to. observe the birthday of the Christ child in the right spirit.
 The world grows better; no doubt ei that.
 sThe observance : of Christmas p,oves that ths work of the Sons followers has not been in vain; the belief is encouraged that we progress toward the Brotherhood of Man
 Pine Bluff is to be congratulated iis people comrended.

ness isn't as good as it used to be. If l didn't have so many to support could save money and branch out in business"
 This young man was wearing three-dollar ties, six-dollar shirts, and ten-dollar shoes. He dances till so early in the morning that his brain is asleep and he is in no condi- ton to pay strict attention to busi- ness. He has had his chance; he has it every day, but. his ears are closed to opportunity, and he does not hear opportunity saying to him: Save your health; save your money"
 The men who attain the top do not get there through chance Of luck. They aimed high and made every minute count. They saved their time. A start of fifteen min utes late each working day means loss of nine and three fourths eight hour days year. Almost ten days work could Be done by always be- ing on time. And time is money

THE PUBLIC WANTS TO KNOW.

THE PUBLIC WANTS ID KNOW. The public hasn't time to seek out l It's busy.
 It is your duty to make the noise that attracts attention. If you don't some ether noise is going to get the attention.
 The best way to beat the tomton1 is by advertising. And the best way to advertise is through your local
 paper.
 A good lccal paper depends upon the home merchants for support. + is only by being good that it can glve them the advertising servic trey require. If the merchants fail to utilize the columns of the local puper properly, they are cheating themselves and making it possible for the distant mail order houses and the merchants advertising in the out side. papers that hit the town to get the advantage of local patronage.
 The local paper reaches out to hundreds of homes which can be reached in no other way; and through the lccal paper you can tell ] good merchandising story that will kring the reader to the store the first tune he comes to town. And re- member, the rural reader likes to come to town a great deal better than he likes t1 send away for stuff.
 Readers also want the advertising g trade stories they read to be attrac- tive, to offer bargains, to induc them to trade with the advertiser. They probably know you're in busi- ness at the old stand, but unless yol tell them through the medium of printers ink that you have scme-
 thing seaslonable to offer them al an attractive price, they are likely ito conclude that the mere fact that you are in business isn't sufficien to move them to call on you. To them their time is as valuable as yt urs is to you. They want to know something definite about you, so that when they come to town or down
 town they know ahead of time ius, where to go for the goods they wan, to buy.
 Effective advertising never fails tc Le effective.

 ing to pay fair price for-and ne loses.
 The man who plays the cotton ex- change is a mere pikar. The cct.or farmer is the real gambler. He IS the man who bets everything, even down to his shirt-and then delit.' erately sets about losing his own game.
 And next year lot of cotton farm = CTS are going to follow this program. They figure that there is shortage now and that cotton is bound to lring a big price next year. They Let their socks on their judgment, and then do the very thing that will insure their losing.

GAMBLING ON COTTON.

The plunger who plays" the cot ten exchange is net the only man who .gambles on the price of cotton, declares the Beaum mt (Texas) En- terprise, which continues:
 The farmer of the South is the greatest cotton gau. bier of them all. Pe puts in twelve months each year at it and makes it the chief business Ci his life. Before the last of tho picking is done he hitches up his teams and starts to gambling. He gambles a lot of hard work in break ing his land; he puts up as stake the feed for his teams, the taxes on his land. money for repairs of fenc as and upkeep of his farm. Into the hands of the stakeholder go weeks and weeks of hard work in the, plant. ing and the growing of the crop. Ifen, when the bolls burst and the white fleece is ready for gathering he bets his work and often throws the work of his wife and children into the stake. He even bets the limit of his credit at the store where he buys his groceries and his cloth ing. He cheats himself. in many cases, out of the fruits of his garden, the products of his dairy and orcharl and even stakes his poultry on the great crop. This he does by neg lecting or sacrificing all these things in order that he may swell the amount of the stake he plays in the cotton gamble. Into the stake he dumps two or three months of schol- ing for his children--in fact, he searches himself to the last penny sId plays it all.
 Thus far the cotton farmer gambler is like many another gambler who nas staked his last cent on the turn of a card. but here the similarity ceases. The man who gambres with cards, after he places his bet. uses every means within his power to win he watches every play. studies the faces of his opponents and keeps ev- cry faculty centered on the thought of winning.
 Not so with the cotton farmer. He bets everything, to his last cent. He even includes the two CT three months of schooling for his children. ell the comforts and conveniences of a home, his credit at the store-all tliis he dumps into the hands of the |stakeholde-.
 Thus far the cctton farmer plays the game like other gamblers. But, instead of trying to win, he does the very thing that is sure to cause hin, to lose. He increases his cotton acreage, along with that of the other cotton gamblers. This he raises more cotton than the world is will

almost eleven and one-half eight hour days. A minute saved each day is gain of over six hours. A minute saved every hour of an eight hour day means forty-one hours, or five eight-hour days a year. Use system to save time, and put that time to. some good use.
 This is what Ernest Stout, Chi cago newspaper man forty-hve years old, who passed the State Bar examination a few weeks ago, did. Five years of the strenuous life of a journalist were spent in prepar- ing for the test, which included ques- tions in history, mathematics, and the sciences. Most of his studying was done on the street cars, between assignments or to and from work.
 Frank o. Wetrorc, who will be- come president of the First National Bank of Chicago at the end of the year, who began work in the bank as messenger when eighteen years old, says young man need not fear big business or the big corpora tions.

 Mir. Wet,nore says that while he filled one job he was always p-epar- ing for the one just above, reading and working in the evenings, and so the raises and promotions took care of themselves.
