KISSEL KAR TRUCK HERE.

The first "Kissel Kar" truck seen in Pine Bluff was brought here from Little Rock yesterday by the Laser Motor company, distributors for this famed machine. The truck was driv en from the capital city by Leo Sand CTS, who says it is as easy to handle as a Chevrolet, Or other good light passenger car. c. A. Oppliger, mana ger of the Laser Motor company, doesn't expect to be able to keep this on truck long, anticipating that it's reputation will prompt a keen busi- ness man to act it to work for him at once. "We sold thirteen of these trucks to the government last week" :" says MT. Oppliger, "and this is the best evidence of the trucks su- periority. The government doesn't buy except after careful investigation. That it selected the Kissel truck is gratifying to us and a tribute to the car."

.OR. JENKINS DECIDES
 TO SERVE WITH TROOPS
Expects to Receive Orders Next Week, and Is Already Preparing For
 Early Departure From City,

\
 Dr. j.. s. Jenkins, one of the best known of Pine Bluffs physicians and surgeons, announced yesterday that he had decided to report. to the war de- partment at Washington, about Sun day, that he is ready for duty in the medical department of the army, under the commission forwarded him Monday last, and he is of the opinion that within few days thereafter he will receive orders to report for active service.
 Dr. Jenkins already is preparing his plans for early departure from the city, and anticipates receiving his orders about July 25 ore26, as the war department is apparently wasting no time in ordering physicians to duty, because of the scarcity of physicians now in the service. He is hopeful that he will be with the Anne earican forces in France by,September 1.
 Dr. w. T. Lowe, recently commits stoned for medical service by the Red Cross, has wired his acceptance of a proffer of service in Rumania. but has received no definite orders. Dr. Lowe has been doing much work for the Red Cross here, as instructor in first aid.
 Several other Pine Bluff physicians are in correspondence with the mill- tary authorities, and it is expected orders will be received by some of them within the near future.
