NEW CANDIDATE FOR LABOR QUEEN
 ENLlVENS RACE
Miss Gladys Harrison Re turns to City and Begins
 Real Campaign.

A new candidate entered the lists yesterday, in the contest for queen of the big statewide Labor Day celebra- tion here, in the person of Miss Ellen Cranston, of S03 Nebraska street. One additional business house, Sammon & Stone, began the distribution of the voting coupons.
 The entrance of Miss Cranston into the race, and the return to the city of Miss Gladys Harrison, who has been visiting relatives, have instilled new vigor into an already interesting con- test. Miss Harrison, immediately up- on her return to Pine Bluff, busted herself gathering the votes which had been saved for her by many friends, and these were cast in the ballot boxes yesterday, to be included in the next official count, which will be held Saturday night. A conference with several of her friends caused Miss Harrison last evening to express the utmost confidence in the outcome.
 Miss Cranston is sad to have al ready obtained considerable number of votes, and her friends predict that she will rank with the leaders when the next standing is printed in The Graphic Sunday morning. Friends of Mrs. Varnell and Miss Wallace, who arc now leading the race, are sanguine they will continue to set the pace, al- though each of the other contestants is smilingly expressing the opinion that "you can never tell"
 Several other girls arc reported as about to announce their candidacy, and it is stated by friends of the girls mentioned that they have been quietly collecting votes, So that they will get away to good start. All entries must be made before August 1, so that only few days remain in which the candi- dacies can be announced. And al- ready, it is plainly indicated it will be | a mcrrV merry contest

WEEKDAY RECORD
 AT FREE LIBRARY

More than 100 books were issued Monday at the library, establishing a new record for the amount of business done at the library on any day but Saturday, since the institution was opened.
 During the weekly-story hour peri ods last winter, it was often the ease that more than 100 books were issued, but always this was on a Saturday, and no other day of the week brought such a demand from the readers. Mon days record is not very far behind the record number of books issued on q Saturday in the past, and it is expect- cd if the growth of the library con- tinues as rapid in the near future, more records will be established.

GOOD START IS MADE TOWARD
 A CLEAN CITY
Mayor Gratified at Interest Shown, and Declares Work
 to Be Continued.

"There was more interest shown l.. Clean-Up Day yesterday than l have ever before seen displayed here in such a movement" said Mayor Simon Bloom last night. 'I have been al ever the city, and I want to say tha' great good was done The Graphic certainly deserves thanks for the campaign it conducted, for cleaner more sanitary city,
 "There were hundreds of premise. cleaned, yards and alleys were clear cd of grass and weeds. and thousands of old tin cans were piled and hauled away, but there is yet much to be done, to get rid of all the objection able things. H
 "Yesterday's efforts was not the end of the movement for cleaning up it was just t3e beginning. The sanitary officer VIII get after those property owners who have not clean cd up, and they will be told the work must be done at once. Failure to obey this order will mean visit to the police court"
 Mayor Bloom stated that quite a number of the property owners who cut weeds and grass dumped the stuff into the streets. This made the streets lcok worse than they did before the work started. All such trash should ho burned, as the great majority of property owners disposed of it.
 Tho removal of the vast quantity of old tin cans was considered last night the most valuable part of the work done yesterday Old cans hold water in which mosquitoes breed. As a matter of fact. it is es4imated mat
 Q mosquitoes of the disease-distri- button type are the output of such breeding places. These same cans con hold filth. if they are allowed to remain around yards or alleys, and thus furnish the house and stable fly with an ideal breeding ground. Old empty cans serve no useful purpose Whatever, but are exclusively detri- ment and a source of danger. and the removal of such great quantities from wards and alleys yesterday is admit tedly big step forward, toward san itary perfection and household clean lincss.

County Clerk Currin M. Nichol yes terday completed the edious task of apportioning among the 37 school dis tricts of the county the $105,542.05 taxes collected for the year 1915 for school purposes. As the taxes are derived from several different kinds of property, the work of apportion- ment is intricate, and the fact that the different items, when added and then divided among the 37 district totalled the same as the amount reported by Tax Collector Williams serves to nrove that the calculations of both offices are correct.

Nl L-h-O A cheap piece of machinery, l1-Se the boy .s with little Knowledge, is sometimes danger thing.
 Men are buying better and better lawn 8. mowers, and reapers, and printing presses, and gasoline engines and pumps
 Why? Because they find it pays.
 Probably there's no better example of this in the case of automobiles than Chalmers cars. Figures show that 75qo of men who have bought Chalmers cars this year previously owned $500, 5000 or $500 car.
 And the great big increase in Chalmers sales (7929o in six months) has come from towns just like this In the old days Chalmers sold for the most part in towns like New York and Chicago.
 You can find Chalmers cars most any time of the day in most any block in such towns even now.
 But in the smaller communities Chalmers cars most numerous today. Because the people in towns like this were quickest to the value, note the endurance, and observe the wonderful performance
 Particularly of this 34OO r. D. m. Chalmers, which is, in our opinion, the most able that came to this town.
