Dr. Henry q. Rushing.

'Tt has been my pleasure to hear every lecturer of any consequence on the American platform, including Bryan, Roosevelt, Folk, Hillis, Gun saulus, Vending and many others. l do not hesitate a moment to say that Dr. H. c. Rushing is one of theSbest speakers I ever heard. His grace. his accent, his ability to thrill and inspire betoken the true, orator. He is emi- nently fitted, both by naturesand cul- tivation, as splendid lecturer.
 ''Ivan Lee Holt, Ph. D.

 "I have had the pleasure of hearing Dr. Henry c. Rushing of Huttig, Ark, deliver a half dozen lectures, and 1t affords me very great pleasure to say that I have rarely ever heard, upon any platform, speaker who enter tained with as much grace and ease and fluency as he does. There is a charm about what he says that holds the attention from the beginning to the end, and, subtle as it is, it seems ever to be the same, whatever his theme is. Not like most lecturers, there is mixture of eloquence, humor, pathos, with good common sense, homely logic, and lesson and motif which uplifts and stirs ones desire to do better in life.

MANY FIND SOLUTION
 CHECK PROBLEM EASY
Mrs. T. l.. Brummett Obtains The Graphic Check for $5, Being One
 tO Comply with Conditions.

"Check will be found m black pump in south show window of Leverenz Shoe Co.," ss
 This was the sentence to be formed from the superfluous letters found in the advertisements on the "hidden check" ge of Sundays issue of The Graphic, and was correctly framed by at least eleven persons.
 The check was procured by Mrs. T. l.. Brummett, Seventeenth and Walnut, as she was the only one who compiled with the conditions set forth at the top of the page. While the competition for the $5 check has al- ways been keen, there never before las been a contest, and the rules were not gfdly enforced.
 Others who had correct answers, but who failed to comply with the rules or did not arrive early enough were Mrs. T. B. Meece, Miss Martini Angell, Miss Jewell Parnell, Mrs. F. D. Dietz. Miss Gladys Harrison, Mrs. H. C. Wilson, Mrs. w. A. Lewis, Mrs. Ernest Apperson, Mrs. w. s. Harris, and Miss Anette Dreyfus.
 The husbands of some of the com ,petitors were persuaded by their wives to get down town yesterday morning before daylight, in order to be on the scene when the Leverenz store opened. One man left the solu- ton under the door, and another re- turned home and to bed at, o'clock, after waiting half an hour for the Leverenz store to open.
 When the store was opened, about dozen eager women hurried into the establishment, and as several had the correct answer, MT. Leverenz referred the question to The Graphic. Mrs. 'BrummettA had complied with the rules, and received the check.

AUTOISTS DELINQUENT. About 15O Have Failed to Register
 Numbers with Police.

Although many of the owners of automobiles in Pine Bluff have rsgis- tered with the police department, the numbers of their 1916 automobile li- censes, there are yet about l50 of the owners who are delinquent in this respect, and unless these register within the next two or three days. wholesale arrests are to be made by members of the police department.
 That the owners of the cars have been given ample time in which to comply with the city ordinance, is the opinion of Chief of Police Frank Stew art, who has directed that beginning April l, which is Saturday of this week, the members of the police de- partment shall arrest the owners of all automobiles whose numbers are not registered at police headquarters.
