One of the most interesting but little
known phases of the worlds war
abroad is the novel method employed
by the women Of northern France to
obtain clothing for their little ones. The
accompanying photograph shows how
the women have converted American
meal sacks into shirts The sack shirts
were received In New York by the com
mission for relief in Belgium recently.
About l,2o0 coarse meal sacks were
turned very inRsnioasiy into shirts by
Frenchwomen by clipping of the two
bottom corners for armholes and cut
ting a semfcircle for the neck, and
], 800 Riddles were supplied with shirts
only temporarily. however The

\ CONDENSED" REPORT
State Law Is Not Complied With by Our Town Officers. The Peo-
 ole Should be Informed.

We claim that the law has not been complied with as the state ment does not go into detail, and we submit the same to the peo- pie for their consideration.
 We don't want to be under stood as charging anyone with anything wrong but we have offered to publish DETAILED statement for the same price which the law allows us for pub- fishing the condensed" state ment, and we will do so in our next issue if it is furnished us.
 The people of an incorporated town pay the taxes for the pur- pose of maintaining it. They elect officers and pay them for the purpose of looking after the town. The people are connected with the town in the same man. ner that stockholders are con- nected with an incorporated con- c,.},.. Of i any kind.
 The stockholders are entitled and in all well regulated compa- nies are furnished complete statement in detail of their com pany each year, or twice a year and we claim that the people are entitled to the same courtesy or service as regards their town.
 Some fellow who doesn't want the people informed will be ready to say that the books of the town are open to inspection. Certainly this is true, but did you ever hear of any citizen go- ing around checking up the ac- counts of any officer? Of course not. no one cares to make enemies in any such manner. What is everybody's business is nodody's business, but we do think it is our business as a newspaper representing the peo- ole to demand that a DETAIL ED statement be given them in- stead of a CONDENSED state ment as is the case with the one published this week.
 From the published "condens- ed'' statement the people can not know just who has paid street tax, dog tax, etc, and who has not. A DETAILED STATEMENT would show all this. The law furthur requires that a statement of all outstand- ing indebtedness be given and this has not been done. The on ly indebtedness shown is the S25O. % yet to be paid on the tractor engine and grader. The statement should also show the amount the town owed Mayor Barber, Recorder Best and others.
The Home news., 1916-07-21

We publish this week a state oent of the financial condition of the Town of McCrory which shows that there was a balance of s18.O8 in the treasury on June, 30, 1916.
 It is very plain that the report has been condensed to a great degree notwithstanding the laws of the state require that a DE- TAILED statement be given the people. There are probably more reasons than one why this report has been condensed as 1t has. We publish herewith the law requiring incorporated towns to have a financial statement published in January and July of each year:
 THE LAW
 Sec. 10. Act No. 3. The Council of every municipal cor poration in this State shall cause to be published one time, ii the months of January and July, in one paper published in the muni- cipality, a full financial report of the affairs of the municipality, giving detailed statement of all funds received and from what source; of all money expended, to whom paid, and for what pur- pose, during the preceding six months: such statements shall also show the amount of funds on hand and the amount of all indebtedness. If there is no paper published in the municipal lty, the publication shall be made in a paper published nearest to such municipality.
 Sec. l3. Every person who shall fail to comply with the provisions of this act shall be hned in any sum not exceeding one thousand dollars.''
 The above law says that a FULL financial report, giving a DETAILED statement of all funds received and from what source; of all money expended, to whom paid, and for what pur- pose, shall be published. By referring to Webster's dictionary we md the following definition of the word, detail"

 Contractor T. F. Campbell of L:35lg Rec!< a9.l.istTss as,s,.a is oEerseeing She foundation work. Material is being placed on the ground and the eycava- tion work began Tuesday.
 The Building Committee com posed of Dr. c. B. Fakes, H. D. Swayze, w. E. Jelks, F. Lewis, c. G. McCrory, W. H. Jimerson and D. M. Huff has acted wisely in selecting a building large enough for our town for several years to come. The present lots, 75x140 feet, would have provid- ed no extra room whatever and the following people purchased another lot 25x140 yesterday, Thursday, from c. w. McCrory at cost of $300.00 and donated it to the church: Dr. G. B. Fakes $10O.O0, w. E. Jelks S100.00, H. T. Raney $25. co, F. Lewis $25. %, Rev. s. M. Yancey $25. %, H. D. Sayze S1O.O0, G. c. McCrory 4S1O. 0G and 1T. N. Taylor $5. sD.
 The building will be of brick, veener, 75x96 feet with an audi torium 37x56 feet. There will be nine class rooms, a balcony that will seat 150 people, a room for the choir and a pastors study. A basement with furnace to heat the building is provided.
 The brick will be of light ivory color with a chinchilla fin- ish set in moss green mortar. The inside will be plastered and rolling partitions for the class  rooms are provided.
 Ripple cathedral glass will be used in all windows and the building will be wired for cleo tric lights and fans. The large, sweet-toned bell which Mrs. Edmunds gave to the old church building will be used in the new edifce.
 The contract price does not in clude seats nor lighting system. Anyone desiring to contribute a memorial window will see Dr. Fakes at once and those who have not paid the amount sub- scribed will please do so imme- diately by handing same to H. D. Swayze.

Arkansas Takes Strides
 In Civic Improvements.

Arkansas is taking greater strides in civic improvements than ever before, along the lines of installing waterworks, which usually entail sewer systems and improved fire departments,

 fsf ss7e ;tsss..s>.s' Esss : sse- partrnent of the Arkansas Ac- tuarial Bureau bear out this statement. In the past year the Bureau has been called on to in- spect and criticise plans and specifications for waterworks in Benton, Rector, Harrison, Heber Springs and Ashdown, which towns are installing, or have completed waterworks, while plans are under way for similar improvements at Hartford, Poca- hontas, Malvern, Springdale, Eudora, Nashville, Star City, Beebe, Piggott, Corning, Hat field, Junction City, Walnut Ridge, Portland and Wilmot. Improvements of the present plants are contemplated at Ben- tonville, Dardanelle. Stuttgart, Arkansas City, Conway, Morrill, ton and Marianna.
 These Improvements will save tLe peerao thous2n+'s of ! !!..eeA4s, annually in insurance premiums and cut down the fire loss, to say nothing of the saving that will be effected in life and health through the sanitary benefits, " said Manager J. s. Speed of the Arkansas Actuarial Bureau. The indications are that Arkansas will see even greater progress along these lines within the next few months.
