4 SAD TRUTH

One of the bad signs of the times is a growing indifference toward church attendance, for say what we will, the religious life of the individual or the con- munity maybe safely measured by the habit of attendance or non. attendance upon public wor- ship. The underlying cause of this spiritual decadence is the decay of genuine home life. This is the tragedy of today, more dire in its eternal results than the tragedy of European battle fields. At II o'clock next Sun- day at the Methodist church, the pastor will discuss home life of today. All the families of the church are requested to attend. Children in the pews with their parents, and as many in the front pews as possible. Mem bers who have not attended church this year are especially invited. N. c. Augustus.

The Picayune received a copy of the Times Record of Aledo, Illinois. published by Fred B. Blazer, in which MT. Blazer gives a write up of Prescott and Neva- da county. MT. Blazer was here on few days vacation some time ago and we made his ac- quaintance while here. We were very favorably impressed with him and he made many friends while in our little city. who were rather anxious that he would eventually become a citizen of this beautiful southern county of the grand old State of Arkansas. Mir. Blazer tells his people sever al things about this county but he could not tell all in one page write up.
 The good people of Prescott and Nevada county, wish to thank MT. Blazer for this splen- did eulogy of our county and as. sure him or any other good citi- zen of that famous corn state that if they come down hereland cast their lot with us that we will make it both pleasant and profitable for them.

SUFFRAGE TO-DAY.

Women suffrage is not exactly a dead issue. Three states, Iowa. West Virginia and South Dakota will put it up to the voters this year. Iowa and West Virginia have never before voted on suffrage referenda. They are full or hope and enthusiasm for getting the vote on the first try. For South Dakota this will be the sixth opportunity for the gentlemen to ad- init that their wivIs and daughters are people. Five times they have de- nied it. Twenty bills have been sub mitted in their legislature.
 Some experienced suffragists say that South Dakota stands the best chance of succeeding, because of it's position next door to the suffrage states of Wyoming and Montana. But Iowa is extremely we'll organized, and eighty per cent of the press is sup porting the suffrage issue. The Iowans feel certain that June will see them enfranchised Although Iowa is generally thought of as an agricul- tural state purely, there are 113,000 women engaged in aamful occupation within its limits. 25.000 of these are teachers, and 16,000 of them either own op manage farms. The others are scattered through many clerical and industrial occupations.
 West Virginia is one of the few states in which women have no part at all in elections, not even in regard to taxes or schools. Its women are hoping that theirs may be the first state east of the Mississippi to give full suffrage. If they win, it will help all the other eastern and southern states.
 The four states in which suffrage was defeated in 1915 have all organ ized to continue the fight They aver age S5 per cent of ne needed vote last time. New York will probably vote on the measure again in 1917
 It looks rather as if Dr. Anna Howard Shaw were right in saying that this is winning, not a losing game We cannot lose what We have never had says Dr. Shaw, and so how can we help but win?'

ALCOHOL AND PNEUMONIA.

The United States Public Health Service brands strong dripk as the most efficient ally of pneumonia. It declares that alcohol is the hand maiden of the disease which pro- duces ten per cent of the deaths in the United States. This is no eXag- geration. We have known for a long time that indulgence in alcoholic It. ouors lowers the individual vitality, and that the man who drinks is pecu- liarly susceptible to pneumonia. The United States Public Health Service is a conservative body. It does not engage in alarmist propaganda. In following out the line of it's official duties it has brought forcefully to the general public fact which will bear endless repetition. The liberal and continuous user of alcoholic drinks will do well to heed this warn ing. particularly at this season of the year when the gruesome death toll from pneumonia is being doubled.

ADVERTISING RAISED THE
 BRITISH ARMY.

In the March American Magazine lis an account of Hedley Francis Le Bas who was employed by the British Government to raise an army by ad- Ivertising. He did it-at 57 per cent Iof the former cost of getting recruits. He also conducted the advertising campaign by which a $3,O00,00O, ,0OO
 loan was placed.
 MT. Le Bas made his ads for sol diers interesting, jusc as he would have done for purchasers of tea. soup or tobacco. He formed a committee of the leading ad writers in the coun- try and their posters have filled the gaps on the fighting line for over a year. When the loan of $3,000. .0O0,- 900 was required by the government MT. Le Bas was once more pressed into service and the three billion was oversubscribed at the end of two weeks.
 "Through these revolutionary sue of Mr. Le Bas the British Gov ernment has had good cause to en- dorse the business of advertising.
 "Hedley Francis Le Bas is a genial gentleman of about ffty-five, an old army man himself, and the son of Captain Le Bas of Jersey. He is the founder and head of the CaXton Pub fishing Company. He is also direc- tor of George Newnes, Ltd, and c. Arthur Pearson, Ltd, two of the largest magazine publishers in Great Britain.
 Last but by no means least, MT. Le Bas is the honored possessor of medal awarded him by the Royal Hu- two women two years ago"
