the dire need OF clothing existing
among the three million destitute
women and children in Belgium

Whereas, although the country's
response to the Commissions

generous. the results fell far short

the needy, and
Whereas. local merchants. act
ing in conjunction with the Della
ware Commission for Relief in
Belgium. have decided to hold
special bargain days for the re-
lief Of the war sufferers. in order
that the merchants and public may
concentrate on sales of clothing
and shoes.

Price. Mayor OF the City of Will

JEFFERSON CROP
CONDITIONS GOOD

Reports from all sections of Jeffer-
son county indicate that prospects for
bumper crops were never better at
this season of the year North of the
Arkansas river, conditions are excel
lent, cotton especially being in fine
shape. Corn is thriving, though the
need for rain is beginning to be APP
parent. The heavy doWnpour that
fell in Pine Bluff and south of the
city Tuesday did not extend to the
northern part of the county.
d. B. Niven says that conditions
were never better" at this season,
and this opinion is also held by those
familiar with conditions-past and
present.
At the state farm at Tucker there
are 1000, acres in cotton and about
$50 in corn, both crops being in the
best state of cultivation. LII addition,
there are about 80 acres in truck
crops, and the prisoners are now be-
ing served with corn on the cob,
beans, potatoes, onions and tomatoes
grown in the farm garden plot.
/ Those planters north of the river
who have fields of alfalfa are cutting
for the third time this season or pre-
pairing to do so. Sorghum patches
are thriving, and silos will be we'll
filled. e
Indications at this time are that
Jefferson and Pine Bluff will enjoy
great prosperity this fall and winter,
because of good yields and prices,
and all are optimistic.

BEST THEATRE.

Today" Martha's Vindication" is
an excellent Triangle play featuring
Norma Talmadge, Seena Owen and a
strong cast of capable players. The
tickle ladies (bless them) are to find
themselves set in more charitable light
in "Martha's Vindication." To Martha,
played by Norma Talmadge, who
figures prominently in plot and title,
is given the onerous task of caring
for the illegitimate child of her friend
Dorothea (Seena Owen), and, though
an enemy tries to make it appear that
the child is hers, she reveals nothing
of the true state Of affairs until
Dorothea herself makes the necessary
explanation.
Also showing Joe Jackson, star Of
"a Modern Enoch Arden" is seen in
the two-reel Triangle comedy, "Gypsy
joe" This is just 1000 laughs, coming
in such close sequence that it seems
a roar Of laughter.
Tomorrow-Blanche Sweet, the
beautiful Lasky star, will be sur
rounded by a cast of unusual excel
lence in the Jesse L. Lasky production
of "The Thousand Dollar Husband"
Prominent in her support are such
artists as Theodore Roberts, Tom For
man, Jane Wolff, Horace B. Carpen-
ter, Lucille La Varney and others.

NATIONAL GUARD
TO Be RECRUITED
TO war STRENGTH
War Department Authorizes
Steps to Bring Force Up
to 100000.

Washington, July 12.-Immediate
organization Of an extensive national
guard recruiting service was authoriZ-
ed today by the war department to
bring regiments on border duty up to
full war strength of about 100000
men. With nearly $4,000 regulars on
border duty, the government would
have 100000 men or more engaged in
protecting the line
Three officers will be assigned to
the recruiting service for each regi-
ment ordered to the front. Each
separate battalion, company, battery
or other unit will have one officer.
The adjutant general Of the respec-
tive States will supply the names of
officers for this duty. Recruiting has
been made necessary by the fact that
all unfit and those with dependents to
support are to be discharged from the
guard regiments as rapidly as posi-
BILE. While the work Of filling the
gaps was in progress, however, it was
determined to go step farther and
attempt to fill the regiments up to
full war strength.
A proposal that an army quarter
master depot be established in each
congressional district to hasten equip
ment of national guard troops called
into federal service in an emergency
probably will grow out of the mobi-
lization of state forces for duty on the
Mexican border. Delay in supplying
the men with clothing and camp
equipment, Brig. Gen. Henry G..
Sharpe, acting head Of the quarter
master corps, said today, is due to the
present depot system and not to a
shortage
