wilt be seen that within $500 of hal' the years budget has already beea expended, although the strctest economy has been practised The re- malning months or the year will not be so heavy, however, and it is hoped that the expenditures for the entire year may yet be brought within this budget. Unusual times demand un- usual outlays.
 "This winter is the hardest Pine Bluff has known for many 8 long year. Women and children are com- ing to the Charities who have had nothing to eat for two and three days, and the office is crowded every day with local men who have tramp ed the streets for weeks looking in worked to the point Of exhaustion to supply the needs of the applicants.
 Asks Citizens Help.
 ''We urge the citizens to report any odd jobs they may have aoout their home or offices, to send in more clothing and shoes, to volunteer their services when possible and to be ready to help us take care of the situation in any way that occurs to them.
 "Once more we insist that for their own% protection from imposture, and in order not to be duplicating con- tinually their charity, the cle,zens refer ali transient men asking for meals, to the Volunteers home or to the Associated Charities. The very men that denounce the Volunteers home to you have probably just been turned away from there for refusing to cut wood.
 "In conclusion, we wish to say that heavy pressure of work in the office has prevented our making this the full and detailed report we would like it to be. We believe the publia would rather have Us do the work, than tel. them about it.

Flowers ip the Alps.

If the snow happens to be very deep in the Alps 1t is not at all uncommon to find plants which open their flowers before the surface is reached. Thus the flowers blossom in small cavity of frozen snow. This Towering Is not limited to the opening of the petals alone, for in not . few cases the sta mems will actually bring their pollen to perfection. Al. this goes on al- though the soldancllas have not felt the sun.

Couldn't Be Madc Public,

It was the custom of one of the managers to criticize every individual performance at each new town the company visited after the fall of the curtain on the stage. One night he did not say anything to young Lorraine He reminded the manager of his omis. sion by saying: AS you did not say anything about my performance, ] take it it was all right" Then came the icy reply: T did not say any thing about your show, because what have to say to you l must say in private"

Easy Economy.

When lighting the gas do not turn the key on full, but only four-f1fths of the way, and see that sufficient air enters through the air passage. This will eliminate the missing and give proportional flow of air and gas. When the mantle gets black throw a little ordinary salt in the same from the top, which will consume the carbon and make your mantle clear and white.

Treasury officials, and, apparently, for

the Government counsel have asked and

something more is sought than the
preparation Of an answer to the Riggs

Is admittedly one which has been care
fully prepared and one which 1t is no

Speculation continues whether the Ma

between the Comptroller and Secretary

ground that he induced her to invest

Smith was trying to have his ball sur
rendered and himself locked up the dis
trict attorneys office advised the
youngstown detective to take him out OF
