THRIFT DAY THURSDAY

Little Rock, Feb 2.-"It has been recognized for sometime by the bank CTS of America that the United States IS deficient in thrift in comparison with some other countries,' says Moorehead Wright, president of the Union Trust Co.,, of Little Rock, and chairman of the thrift committee of the Arkansas Bankers Association.
 "As result we lose a profit which more thrifty nations save in produc- tion which must sell at the same price. Consequently, our competitive nations grow rich upon the same busi- ness which may yield no profit to Americans
 "The general movement for the teaching of Practical Thrift, and the definite, active encouragement of thrift by our people has reached the stage of development that it is taken up by the American Bankers Asso- citation as a definite work. The year 1916 is fitting time for the inaugu- ration of the first nationwide cam paign on thrift, because it was just 100 years ago that savings banks were first established in America.
 Thursday, February 3, of this week was designated by the Ameri- can Bankers Association as Thrift Day for America and the beginning of the Centennial celebration On this day the thousands of bankers throughout the United States invite the attention of the American people to the necessity of adopting new element in national life. It must be be realized by the American people especially those of the south, that it is an absolute necessity to prosperity for the people, individually and col lectively, to live profitable lives.
 "For the beginning, on this thrift day, the attention is directed to the simple and fundamental element ot individual savings. The beginning of thrift, vital measure is the ability tC be industrious, and to measure ones ability to save in dollars and cents.
 "Therefore, to begin with, the peo- lple of Arkansas-old and young, cor porations, individuals, children-al are invited to plan this day, anc throughout this year, to establish 2 profit account in the banks. It is cer- tain that everyone, if he could see the real truth of the matter, would deter mine to lay by from his earnings some money for future investment The community saving, which is tC follow, is based upon elementary hab it, established in the individual, anC the prosperity of tn community will after all, be measured by the power of the sum of individuals who attair profitable living"

OBITUARY.

On Sunday morning, January 23, 1916, the Lord of heaven sent his an gel-the messenger of death-to earth to call from this life our be- loved friend and neighbor, John F.. Martin, and invited him to come up into the realms above to enter into the joys and blessings of his reward, awaiting him for the noble life he spent here.
 He was born in Mississippi, Decem- Der 13, 1861, and came to Arkansas in 1870, where, in Conway county in 1898, he joined the Christian church.
 He was first married December 26, 1883, to Ellen Goodson, of Cato, who died February 20, 1900, leaving him with seven little children.
 Sad and sorrowful, and incident to times and surroundings, he spent his time in his home with his children, whom he loved so sincerely and affec- tionately; at all times reverencing the name of his Creator, and striving to cheer his family in their loneliness, and to do all in his power for their support, education, happiness and prosperity; ever warning them against the perils of temptation and vice that might beset them in life's pathway, picturing to them the beau ties of a life spent in honor and righteousness.
 On June 30, 1901, he was again married to Nanny E. Pruett, who died May 3, 1905, again leaving him in solitude and loneliness, with an in fant child to care for, and only the presence of his children to brighten life's journey.
 It can be truthfully said by all who knew him, "his life and charac- ter was one worthy to be followed" a sincere, loving and devoted Christian father, and leader for his family; and a noble and esteemed neighbor; ever on the alert to lend his influence and means for the support and mainte- nance of schools or other enterprises that was for the refinement and up- building of his community, and was ever ready and willing to give assist ance to the sick, the. poor, and the needy; never forgetting to show kind ness and courtesy to all persons whom he come in contact with, or dealt with.
 He is survived by four sons and three daughters. The sons are Alon- 20 Martin of Argenta, and Fred, Elm melt and Floyd, who were at home

MANY VIOLATIONS OF
 FEEDING STUFF LAW

Little Rock, Feb. 2.-Numerous complaints are coming to the commits missioner of agriculture about the violation of the concentrated feeding stugs act. On account of the fund not being available, no inspector has been in the field since last March, but the law is just as effective as though the inspection was being carried on as provided by the statute.
 Complaints have been received of the death of stock due to poor feed; of sales of sacks without tags bearing the analyses as required; and of the sale of feed in all sizes of sacks, when the law prescribes uniform sizes and weights of packages in which the feed is sold.

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES

I
 Chester Parham, Richard Wright, John Hardin Wright, John Terry, Doyle Grafton and Julia Mae Gwin. have all lost week or more on ao- count of illness.
 Noel and Bessie Tedder are still critically ill, and Clara Golf and Mae Hope McClurkin are not able to re- turn to school
 During these days of cold, rain or mud, we are giving short intermission periods. Recesses are taken in doors, and moons are shortened to 45 min utes. We think it better to keep the children off the ground as much as possible. The work periods are un- changed
 Pearl Cox is the newly elected cash fer of the school bank. The bank is doing good business. Deposits are better than they have been for months. If parents would take lit tie more interest in the savings habit of their children, it would be great thing for the children. The child who habitually spends his pennies and nickles without supervision or system will most likely carry his hab- 1t of thriftlessness into mature life.
 We acknowledge the gift of num- Der of house plants from Mrs. Echlin. We are glad to get them. Flowers and children should be inseparable.
 We wish to correct an error in an earlier school note. The sewing ma chine, reported as the gift of Frau enthal and Schwarz, was given by the School and Civic League The League will give another lunch soon for the benefit of the Domestic Science De- partment.
 Miss Ruby Becker is unable to meet her classes today.
 MT. Jansen, the Swedish entertain CT, visited the rooms of our school Wednesday and entertained the chil- dren with short talks. With bunch of children he is as good as a circus.

 Report cards will be given out to- morrow. All figures relating to the month of January will be in black ink, while term reports will appear in red ink. Just remember that red ink grades are final for the first semes- ter.
 Teachers all over the school are reporting improvement The high school classes especially are doing well. A few pupils are failing-we always have few who cannot or will not do good work-but the great ma jority of the pupils are doing credit able work. We should be glad to have parents and friends visit the rooms and see for themselves.

with him. The daughters are Mrs. Gertrude Jones and Mrs. Frances Harper of Argenta, and Miss Pearl Martin who was at home.
 May each one of the children deter mine to so live, that the good impress sions and the noble characteristics will shine out in their lives. And that in the end they may gain home in Heaven.

Favorable News From United

Berlin, Feb. 8.-Tension in what is

Iessened somewhat today as a result
of more favorable news from America,
which was featured prominently by.
most of the newspapers. The lessened
strain was reflected instantly on the
Bourse, which showed greater

Kruez Zeitung, commenting upon it,
THEORETICALLY contests statements of
the American newspapers as reported
in the Frankfurter Zeitung, to the eff
feet that the solution of the crisis is
merely a matter of form, since Amer

It adds that the German people
