WnEN PEOPLE FORGET TO
 THlEK

Forgetting to think is a ore valiant ailment the world over and in this respect our own com. munity is no exception to the general rule. It is of daily oc. currence right in our own midst.
 It is not the big things of life that we forget, for our own nature is such that important matters are more indellibly i'm pressed upon our minds and there fore the more certain of re- celvlng attention at the proper time.
 But it is the little things that slip our minds, promises light ly made and soon forgotten, duties that are left unperformed because we simply forget to think.
 Stored away in the vaults of our banks are thousands and thousands of dollars drawing in- terest for various good citizens when they by rights should be credited to the accounts of other people.
 Our merchants, doctors, law yers, carpenters, practically everybody in fact, have small accounts due them here and there because people have for gotten to pay, have even for gotten to think.
 It is fifty cents here, a dollar there, or two or five, small in the individual account bu enormous in the aggregate. If all of these accounts were col lected together and one man became responsible for the com bined sum he would never for get to give it consideration, re- gardless of the extent of his wealth. It would be too i'm portant to overlook, too vital tc forget.
 We could name a merchant in this town who has thousands o1 dollars on his books in insignif, cant amounts. The people who

He had twenty-four grand child children, and all except four, to- gether with his wife and child ren, were at the funeral to pay a last tribute of love and respect to this sainted father.
 He was converted at the age of sixteen and joined the Metho- dist church, of which he lived a consistent member until the time of his death.
 His remains were laid to rest on January 23, 1916, at the Bur lington cemetery, by the side of his wife and children.

IN MEMORY OF DR. CHARLES L
 HALE

While yet, in life's tinted morn ing,
 Reaping the blossoms of a long
 cherished dream; We can, but stop, and ponder, Why Charlie passed out into the
 unseen. Away every thought that is mortal 'Tis not for us to understand, Why God chose to call him, To the mansion not made with
 hands. Called away from sorrow and signing, From suffering, pain and strife; From the death that forever is dying, Changed to the fullness of life. Entered into the heavenly silence, Alone with the stiffness and God; The spirit returned to it's maker, 'Tis the body that rests meath the sod Weep not, those who mourn him, But look to the hilltop of Light; Where Life in it's fulness reposes, Mid fields everlasting and bright Seek now, the Kingdom of Heaven, The Temple where the Spirit doth
 reign;, Where Joys are real and eternal, Where death never comes again.

THE DOLLAR

It is impossible to speak of the Kindly hardworking dollars in anything but terms of effection. Whatever may be our contempt for $20-bills and $1000- we exa only admit that the plain and capable dollar is a friend of hunanity and is full of good works.
 There are two kinds of dollars hard and soft. The East pre- fers the soft dollar, which can oeS folded up and placed in a pocket book in the hip pocket, from which it can easily be ex- sracted by removing the glove and the, overcoat and turning the contents of the pocket book upside down into a hat. The lurried West prefers the hard iollar, which is durable, conven- ent and cannot be mistaken in he dark for a laundry bill and sast haughtily into the fire.
 However, hard and soft dollars Are equally talented in producing oleasant effects. The amount H Sunshine and joy and internal comfort which dollar even an pld and dog-eared one, can pro- luce, is little short of marvellous. IA dollar will set lem up from ten to forty times to cigars. It will carry us fifty miles by rail- ,pad and will support a man
 l.Ial days. A dollar will buy
The Green Forest tribune., 1916-01-28

elOugn printed WlSQOm to last some men forty years, or it will purchase three hundred laughs in the balcony of any theatre. A dollar will commit twenty acts of charity. With the 200th part of a dollar, a poor woman purchased a reputation for charity almost two thousand years ago which even now makes John D. Rockefeller look like a tight wad. With dollar a man can buy a years good govern mvnt, and with a dollar he can buy much trouble that he will still be lodging ten years hence.
 Everyone loves the dollar and is hospitable to it. We may be Charming and lovable, ingenious and aesthetic, but unless we can induce a certain number of dol lars per week to gather beneath our humble roof, we are going to make failure out of life. No other visitor is as welcome as the dollar. The man who will grumble if he has to get out of his chair at 7 D. m. and welcome his mother-in-law, will slide down the banisters at 2 a. m. with a glad shriek and welcome a dollar with both hands.
 Some men, however, do not seem able to entertain the dollar when they have it. They will start the week with fifty of them and those dollars will make the most ridiculous excuses to leave him and stay gone. Other men, who have never entertained a human being in all their lives, are so fascinating to dollars that the little creatures will not only make their permanent homes with them, but will go out and grab other dollars by the neck and hau''. them in.
 1 The taste CT tile Il T dUiIar IT choosing it's friends, however, cannot always be commended. Many times a dollar will leave a splendid, upright man and cling to a usurer until Death doth them part.
 Dollars delight to work for men, but some men are very poor bosses. They have to use a hundred dollars to get the re- suit which other men can &C., complish with five. Dollar train ing is one of the most beneficial exercises, and if you persist in it youscan, in time, persuade the faithful creatures to do all your work for you. George Fitch.

HISS M'CALL GETS
 AN APPOINTMENT
STATE HAS MADE WISE SELEc.
 HON IN APPOINTING CANNING CLUB DEMONSTRATORS

The Times-Echo takes pleasure fnlannouncing the appointment bf Miss Willie Mccall, daughter bf Mr. and Mrs. Nj. L. Mccall, as Bounty demonstration for the Btate Canning Club for Carroll Bounty, Ark.
 To those not familiar with the Work of the State Canning Club |Emay n3t be quite clear what the appointment means, but 1t is hn acknowledgement of the abil- |ty of this young lady as one of the most expert workers in the Fruit and vegetable preserving |n the county, not the best, pos Bibly, but one of the best.
 @The State has made a wise sel- kction in appointing Miss Mccall EoEthe position which she is sure Eo fill with credit to herself and the State.
 The State of Arkansas had a Banning Club at large and is nteresting all the counties in Ehe work. The State has a brand known as H. H. H. H., meaning Heart, Hand, Head and Health, and all goods put up to the stand ard is sold by the State and the proceeds given to the club doing Ehe work, and each member gets what they earn.
 Miss Mccall will leave Sunday For Little Rock to take a course In the comming State School of Instruction in Canning, after which she will return to Carroll Bounty and begin her work in he county. At present the club Is only at work on tomatoes and Miss Mccall will go over the Bounty to get members to plant a bne- tenth acre of tomatoes and then can them in the fall under her direction.
 Miss Willie is saleslady at Per- kins dry goods store, and it is with regret they give her up, put the firm, like friends, is proud of the honor shown to one bf Eureka Springs favorites, and Fhe is kept busy acknowledging E on g t u a Ii 0 n s. Eureka Bprings Times-Echo.

owe him these sums are Il o deadbeats, for they are among our best cl a s S of substantial citizens. He is not worrying over eventually getting t h e money because he knows from long experience with these same people that his accounts are good as gold - with one exception. The gold in hand would enable him to increase the size of his stock and sell more goods and thereby earn greater dividends on his investment. But wholesalers and manufacturers require their money on the dot, and a hundred or q thousand small accounts due the merchant are not considered in the light of an asset by the men from whom he buys his goods. If each of the men who owe these small accounts would take the trouble to think, they would rush in one great throng to that store and pay up those small bills, and the merchant would then be in position to do even better by them in the future. But they forget to think, and their money remains in bank and they continue to draw interest on it while the merchant patiently waits for his due. And this merchant is only one of the many.
 Even this newspaper is not immune from the evils of forget ting to think. In fact, we in cline the belief that we are in even a more unenviabIe position in this respect than any mer- chant in this town.
 To speak candidly, we are proud of the names we have on our subscription list, for they represent the intelligence and integrity of this whole commun-
The Green Forest tribune., 1916-01-28

But even men of the highes intelligence and the most rigit integrity can forget to think. They are forgetting to think ir our own case.
 If these same good and loyal citizens could take one glance at our books they would be appalled, at the amount of money that is due us on subscription to this paper. They are small amounts individually, ranging from 50cents to g or $3, marked up against men and women whose words are as good as their bonds.
 But we cannot pay our bills with the honor and the integrity of our subscribers. We put up the cash.
 Right now we have a splendid opportunity to invest some money in our business that would yield us handsome returns. But we are handicapped because our subscribers forget to think. We can not make the investment unless our subscribers do think not only think, but pay And we do yearn nightly toward that dividend producing investment. Our family yearns for the money it would bring into the editorial home.
 But it will not always be so. Some day people will not forget to think, for our people are right minded and their forget fitness is but a fault and not a crime. But if 1t were only today.

: VIII SllAs
 You don't know which side will be victors.
 You don't know what 'condi- tions will prevail in Europe after 1t is ended. You may surmise, but you don't know.
 You don't know what effect it will have on this country when Europe gets down to business again.
 You don't know whether the end of this war will mark the beginning of world peace, or whether it is but the forerunner of a greater and more devastat- ing conflict waged between the old world and the new-between a combination of European nations on one side, and North, Central and South America on the other.
 You don't know in the event of such a war, whether the Americas would continue to be free and self governed countries, or whether they would become mere overseas possessions of the kings and emperors of the old world. You may poo hoo, and swell out your chest, and let the eagle scream, but you don't know.
 You don't know what congress will do in the matter of prepared ness for this country. You don't know whetherit it will do anything at all or not-for, truth to tell, congress is all muddled up and don't know itself, for it don't know what you think or what you know.
 Fact is, brother, we don't imagine any of us know much of anything about this phase of our national existance, for we have been too busy grubbing for dol lars to give much heed to the present or future welfare of our country.
 And, too, we don't know what the penalty of our indifference and neglect is going to be.
 Now do we?
