After d weeks iuteruisslon the To- cal Four Minute Men will resume their speaking in the local theaters, treating the subject, Carrying the Message" which, according 10 offi- cial Washington, is regarded as one of the most important given out at national headquarters in many weeks.
 Not alone is the subject one of im- portance but the work Of the Four Minute Men generally is regis cred as vital in the campaign 10 educate those who may even yet be skeptical as to the government intentions i'll this great war. That feature is touch ed on in the following from national Aeadquarters:
 No hymn of hate accompanies our message.
 This is a war for ideas, and in toward victory we must not trample on The Ideal
 As government representatives, we Four Minute Men must never forget our mission, not to arouse hatred, not to inflame passion, but to show facts, to inspire deeper convictions.
 The elevated tone of the presi dents message has arc sed to the full those deeper better and more abiding feelnes that enthuse only what is best in us. These messages, indeed bear reading, and regarding many times, by all our speakers. They are expressions of the sentiment from Washing;on's time tlat made America not big but great,
 Aside from ethical questions, vi- tuperation is a boomerang. We are speaking not to secure applause from those already convinced but to con- vince the skepuc and to arouse the apathetic Oyerstatement drives away those who are mildly interested, and it may shock those whose enthusiasm for the war has not tainted their sence Of fairness. Violent assertion oi what may be true simply breeds more skep- ticism.
 ''In a cause SO just as ours the cbyi- ous facts are so many and the tunda- mentals are so very clear that we need but dwell on these. There are mony millions still to whom these fundamental facts must be made clear.
 And if, in each speech by every Four Minute Man before every audi ence, one, or two. or three skepucs are turned into converts, what won derful work We are building.
 Walter NJ. EoeL who perfected the local organization and who has been chairman of this body since the first Four Minute Men appeared, because of his work with the food administra- ton in Little Rock, has turned over the chairmanship of the local body 10 Douglas Hotchk.ss, editor of the Sentinel Record who will have fall charge or this patri9tc feature in the future. Mr. Ebel antic ates being in Hot Springs on Saturday and will if desired. fill an appointment at any at the local theaters. In the future, however all data for addresses and asa 4lment of speakers will be made by Mir. Hotchkiss, who has all ways been interested in the work of this body here.

Campfire Girls.

On April 20 the Campfire
Girls was organized at West
Liberty and Mrs. John B. Phipps
was chosen as guardian. The
members are Ronnie Franklin,
Georgia Franklin, Edra Wheeler,
Orlean Cottle, Ruth Davis, Clara

Walsh, Jewel Lacy, Lelah Henry,
and Dora Williams.
A short time ago the girls
went out camping and they re-
ported a very pleasant time
boat riding, fishing and gather
ing wild flowers. The girls are
taking very much interest, and
this organization will do as much
for girls as the Boy Scout
movement will do for the boys.
And the girls who live up to the
teachings of the organization
will be nothing short of a per-
feet lady, and will develop into
useful womanheod.
Sincerely yours.

Gas Much to Blame as He" +"

A young girl came home in an
ger one day and told her parents
that a young man on the street
had spoken to her in a disrespect-
full way. Her mother was as
much angered as the girl when
she heard the story, and both
thought that the father should
take the matter up.
But the father said: ''Daugh-
ter, you are not an immoral girl;
but let me tell you a few things
that may help you to look differ
emily at this matter. You are
young. and attractive, and your
dress is such that it displays all
your charms of face and figure.
Your arms are bare almost to the
shoulder, your waist is cut so low
that a good portion of your shoul-
ders and chest are exposed to
view; your skirt is scant and mar
row, and the slit in the front,
with your bright, short petticoat
and your gauze stockings, dis
plays your limbs almost to the
knees; your dress is so cut that
every line of your figure.is seen in
bold relief. You went out on the
street with your companions and
saw this man and knew that he
was a stranger; but you laughed
and tossed your head as you pass
ed him, and perhaps made some
light remark that he overheard.
He is a stranger here, and
did not know that you were a
moral girl, for he would not think
SO by your appearance. I'm sor-
ry that this has occurred, but,
daughter, you are as much to
blame as he."

Farm Dairying.

Abont six years ago we decid-
ed we would like to try dairy
farming. We had been Obliged
to butcher and sell four of our
cows and heifers that year to get
out of debt, so were obliged to
take the good advice we often
read of, and grew into the dairy
business.
The prices of mich cows for
the last five years have been
going right on up. We sold a
cow five years ago with a heifer
calf two weeks old for $25.
The same cow would sell now
for $40.
We decided we would prefer
selling butter or cream, so we
kept all our heifers that had any
Jersey blood is them. In our
next step we made a mistake by
depending on a range grade Jer-
sey bull that only had little more
than half Jersey blood in him.
We did not take this step
from choice, but because we
did not have the money to buy
a pure-bred Jersey bull or lose
years of hard work to accomplish
our aim. So | went and bought
a pure-bred bull calf eight
months old on credit, and if
had done this two years sooner
we would now have four cows
three-fourths Jersey that are
only half-breed.
| would say to anyone who is
thinking of going into dairy
farming, do not hesitate about
buying apure-bred bull of the
breed you fancy if you do have
to buy on credit. Southern Ag'
riculturist.

There is great hope for a boy
when he develops valuable ideas

Such a person is the youthful
Tommy, who managed, the
other night, to get his face ex-

his supper, and was told by his
mother to wash it before he
went to bed.
"But, mamma" he said,
