Why It Pays to Buy AT HOME
TOday'S Essay

It is trite saying that "a dollar will not go very far these days," and the expression is more true than many persons believe, because the dollar, when it is spent at hohe, remains right here at home, working A hours every day, and leaving it's earnings with one or another of the various home people through whose hands it passes.
 But-when that same dollar is sent to Little Rock, Memphis, St. Louis, Chicago, New York, or any other city or town away from home, then it makes a long, long, journey. It does not return. It stays in it's new home helping the business men there to prosper, aiding the working people there to live on higher scale, and assisting in the building of streets, roads, churches, schools and other public Improvements.
 For years, the Buy at Home" cam- paign has been under way, each year gaining more converts. Pine Bluff people have been urged to keep Pine Bluff money at home, and many who in the past have made purchases from mail order houses elsewhere, have been won over to the cause, and are IloW buying lIlelI SOOuS 1IOIH IlHe Bluff business men. The result is easily apparent. Pine Bluff business men are prosperous, their employees are busy and content in steady en- ployment, ,and the banks have enor- nous funds which may be loaned out to home people, for the prosecution and extension of their business.
 The local business men are doing their share-they are exerting every effort to supply the Pine Bluff people with the goods and articles they may desire, at prices not any higher than these same articles can be had else where, and with the additional advant- age of allowing personal inspection and immediate delivery. That the Pine Bluff merchants are prepared to do their part, that they have the goods at the right prices, is indicated in the advertisements printed on this page today, and study of these ad- vertisements will prove advantageous to the man or woman who has need for goods and articles of whatsoever nature.

resources. Practical sense in canning,
 preserving, drying and brineing can
 not come from slipshod methods. For
 each there is q process, although @
 process which can be carried out by the individual in the home kitchen.
 This book presents the methods in a
 particularly clear text, supported by a great number of excellent illustra ttons. Through the fall women and girls have wonderful opportunity to do vast amount of national service by ap- plying their hands and minds to the work. Within recent years the con- venfence of handling and serving canned foods has convinced the pup lie that canning is by far the best method of preserving fruits and vege- tables Miss Powell however, lays em- phasis upon the fact that in many eases preserving foods by drying or brineing are very desirable means and
 ones not to be neglected, particularly
 when there exists a shortage of tin cans and glass containers.
 The chapters on the history of the development of scientific canning and bacteriology as applied to canning will
 give the worker an understanding of the importance of the industry and the reasons why all of the steps are taken
 in order to insure against the spoil ing of any of the material. There then follow chapters upon the canning, pre- serving and drying of all sorts of
 vegetables. herbs and fruits particu-
 lar attention is paid to the making of
 marmalades, jams. jellies and pickles.
 There follows an excellent presenta-
 tion of the preserving of meat. To
 make the book of even greater value, she includes a chapter upon the part fruits and vegetables should take in the diet and also the method of form l. ing canning clubs and making a busi-
 ness success of all the work that is
 done beyond that necessary for home

and cried as court officers escorted

Mrs. Murphy was sentenced for

my time in real sight seeing.
My stay here at the hospital has
been very .n'cf' sting and IN unusual
eXpeI en?e T.hlch in many ways I
hope never to experience again.
The hospital is very large, con-
sisting of at least so large barracks
150x25 in which are the operating
rooms and wards accommodating
about 900 wounded. In addition are
many smaller barracks for doctors,
nurses and attendants. The wounded
stay here as short a time as pos
sible, or as soon as they can be
safely moved and are evacuated by
train to the base hospitals in the
interior. They are brought here
from the postes de service by am
hulance.
During the last attack the hos
pital was taxed to its capacity for
Il week, so you can imagine how
many wounded went through, prob
ably 10000. There are left here
now about 1000 with few new pa
ticnts as the battle along this front
is over. 1t was very short. brill

I was brought to a ward where
there were still about 25 wounded

evacuated, about 8 left now. l can
