 And DON'T. while Jim. poor cuss. Goes smiling off to death or wounds

E The spirit which actuated Israel Putnam more than a century ago is. what is needed in America today, ac-, cording to men who are in close touch. with the war conditions and the affairs of the United States
 Putnam was blowing his none-too-' productive New England field when a horseman dashed up and told him the tale of the. British raid on Lexington. It was seeding time and Putnam's field demanded immediate care. {
 Did he falter or hesitate? Did he, procrastinate? No. He left his team in the field still hitched to the blow, and hurried away to answer the call of his country. He did not stop to con, slider the cost of leaving. Liberty was at stake and he was off to the rescue.
 Liberty is at stake again. Your liberty and the liberty of the rest of the civilized world. Every day the rural mail brings the story with all it's dread warning along the winding country road to the Israel Putnans of today.
 But they are not in the fields. They. are storing their $2 and $3 wheat. their, $2 potatoes and their $2 corn and their s onions. They, better than anyone else. know how we'll they are respond ing to the call of liberty.
 But itl is time that these men, as well as their city brothers awake. Do, your bit in placing the second issue of Uncle Sam's Liberty Bonds. Uncle Sam is your friend. But he can do only what you assist him accomplish ing with all your might. Get busy, today. Be an Israel Putnam in your community.

ARKANSAS TENANT FARMERS
 TO BUY LIBERTY LOAN BONDS

Tenant farmers of Akansas, who in previous years have found it diff. ficult to make both ends meet, are this year going to be liberal buyers of Liberty Bonds," said H.. A. Morrison, cashier of the Bank of ,Commerce, Earl, Crittenden County, Arkansas.
 A ten-million dollar cotton crop in his county alone explains why this is to come about. MT. Morrison said that his fellow citizens were showing such enthusiasm in the new bond issue that he came to St. Louis to arrange to supply them with bonds.
 Heretofore" said MT. Morrison, "the proceeds of the annual harvest was not sufficient to maintain the farmers until the next crop could be harvest ed, and it was the custom in April to begin buying food and other necessi. ties on credit. The result was that in the fall it usually took about all the farmer got for his crop to pay his debts and get through the winter.
 "This year it is different. The planters are going to get from 30 to 45 cents a pound for cotton, whereas before they only got from 6 to 10 cents."
 "One fine thing about these bonds is that the farmer can use them as legal tender. In case they need money they will find their war bond invest ment readily negotiable"
 Crittenden County's allotment is $S1,00O, but. MT. Morrison is going to try to dispose of s135,O0O worth there.

solution for one dollar at any drug store. l wouldn't use the burners and so-called superfluous hair removers sold. They redden and irritate the skin. This is safe on any part of the body. You'll be more than sat- isfied
 GLORY-Try a teaspoonful of eg- gol in half cup of water, and use as la head-wash. It dissolves away all scale, grease and danruff. It's won- derful. Eggol will cost twenty-five cents-enough to make about twelve shampoos. There's nothing as good. :.
 MRS. F. o. G.-Your hair ought to stop right away from falling if you will use my hair formula. Every one who has tried it says it is perefectly astounding how it makes hair grow and stops hair falling. Get one ounce of beta quinal from your druggist, and mix it with one pint of bay rum or if perferred in one-half pint each of water and alcohol. Use this every day, and your dream of long, silky, beautiful hair will truly come true. In making up this mixture you will find it will give you over pint of the hair grower at a smaller cost than that of any prepared hair treatment, and be- sides. you have the best you can get anywhere.
 Mrs. IS. o. S."AYou'l have very few wrinkles left after few days use of the following mixture, which you make yourself at home in few min- utes. To two ounces of eptol, which cost about fifty cents at any drug store, add two teablespoonfuls of gly- cerine, and mix in half a pint of wat CT. Your skin will become fresh and plump and your friends will be re- marking, not how old, but how young you look. Rub the cream well into the skin and you will soon find that the crows feet, deep lines of age and even shabit" wrinkles will be quickly leaving. It is really surprising.
 9EXPECTANT-There's no reason for any druggist not having the eptol for wrinkles and the neroxin for black heads. The price of each is fifty cents. If You have any difficulty hereafter, send the price, fifty cents, to "Secre- tary to Valeska Suratt, Thompson Bldg, Chicago" and either articel will be sent to you at once by mail,-Adv.

PROSECUTING ATTORNEY ON
 COMPULSORY VACCINATION
Ashdown, Arkansas,
 December 8. 1917.

December s, 1917. To Whom It May Concern:
 So many hundreds of inquiries have come to my office in person and by letter, that deem it advis- able to make statement in the press with reference to vaccination requirements. Under a law passed in 1913 the State Board of Health is authorized to make rules and orders in all matters affecting the public health. Under this law, said board has made an order in substance as follows:
 No person shall be entered as a teacher, employee or pupil ill a public or private school in this State without having first presented to the principal in charge or the proper authorities, certificate from a licensed and competent phy- sician of this State certifying that the said teacher, employee or pupil has been successfully vaccinated, or in lieu of certificate of success full vaccination, certificate certi- flying a recent vaccination done in a proper manner by a competent physician; or a certificate showing immunity from having had small pox."
 Under the further order of the Board the responsibility of enforc- ing this regulation rests upon each member of the school board, upon the teacher and upon the parent or guardian of the child. and each one IS separately and equally liable. The penalty upon conviction is a fine of not less than sl0.00 nor more than Si0O00. The validity of this order of the State Board of Health has been upheld by the Chaneery Court of this District The duty of prose outing violations of the law fall upon the Prosecuting Attorney. and shall discharge my duty in this re- spect as in any other violation of the law. l desire to say that if the  health of any child is such that ir the opinion of any competent physi- elan. vaccination cannot be safely had, then it is the duty of the par ent to have the child treated uati it is in such condition that it may safely be vaccinated trust thai these orders made by the health hoard, will be compiled with for certainly our leading physicians should know what is best for tho protection of the public health. know of two places in this district where they have smallpox at thi. time
 Respectfully,
 A. D. DuLaney. Prosecuting Attorney.
