 VOLUNTEER COMP ANY

A petition circulated Tuesday by K. L. Foster, asking Governor Brough to authorize him to raise a yolun- teer company in Hot Spring county was signed by the County Officials and practically every business man in Malvern, including the officers of the Chamber of Commerce. Mir Foster proposes toraise the company from among men who are within the age limit, and seek admission in the Third Arkansas Regiment. He states, that if authorized to do so he will have no trouble in getting the required number in a very few days. It is thought that the Cover nor will grant the petition.

 ISLANDER.

What an awful thing. And some who profess to be followers of Christ who do not hesitate to islander another. Are we doing as Christ taught when we do this, and are we not on dangerous ground when we judge. Christ says, judge not, lest ye be judged More people are driven to the insane asylums, and to do wrong just by the tongues of the slanderers, especially young people, Let one do some little thing unthoughtedly and some one is ready to say. Oh, they are not living right. Are we living in a way to be able to see the faults of others and not ours. Remove the beam that is in thine eye, that thou may see more clearly to cast out the mote in thy brothers eye. Are we living by the Golden Rule when we dc this, we should help lift up any who are down, rather than kick them further. Let US all examine our selves and see if we are fit to pass Judgment on another.

FOREST VOLUNTEERS
 ARE ON THEIR WAY
Hundreds Gather at Depot to Bid Fare we'll to the Boys From Malvern, who Will Help Make Up the Forest Regi- ment.


 Malvern people exhibited a meas ure of real pride in the Forest Regi- ment Volunteers today by giving them rousing send-of. The crowd began to gather before eleven o'clock this morning at the Iron Mountain depot, and when the north-bound local pulled in more than two hundred relatives, sweethearts, and friends were waiting. Eighteen young men started from hen while two recruits from Gurdon were aboard, and one was waiting to join them at Benton.
 The men of Arkansas Land 6 Lum- ber Company camps and office sized opportunity during the waiting inter- val to present Marvin Means with a valuable and highly useful gentleman's travelling toilet case. Mr. Means has been with this company since early in 1913. before ground had been broken for the plant, and both his employers and those who have worked with him realize that his going is 3 real blow to the company's organization. Nova days, when young men are prone to wander about in preference to holding steadily upon a given job the value of the estieker" is particularly high, and Marvin, has been stieker, both in unrelenting performance of his duties and in maintaining that high standard of loyalty which is the goal of the true business man.
 Shortly before train time the re- cruits gathered upon the depot steps for a group photograph, copy of which will appear in the Daily Record at the earliest possible date. This photo shows a clean cut group of young citizens who appreciate that they are setting forth upon real mans mission, and that although they will not be called upon to carry the enemy's trenches with cold steel, nev- ertheless their work will be far from easy. If the Allied forces did not have real need of our sawmill men they would not have asked us to send this regiment, so we may rest assured that they will have a chance to serve the principles which under lie our hope of World Democracy.
 Some of the applicants may come back before this paper reaches all of it's readers, for our preliminary examina- tion is not conclusive, and the army regulation may disqualify a few of our boys. But we should tender them that measure of appreciation commen- surate with their willingness to volun- teer, for even though they do not sue ceed in entering the army at least they have tried to do their Bit" Those who pass and are sent to training camps will keep us informed from time to time of their experiences, in- solar as possible, and the Daily Re cord will take great pride in spreading the news to all interested readers. Probably we shall learn after sixty or ninety days that the Regiment is sate- ly located in France and that the saw mills are eating into the woodlands of the Old World

Der that the coach viii have to whip
into shape a team to meet the strong
Georgia Tech eleven which liz TO be
played at Atlanta on September 20.
MacDonneil comes TO Wake Forest
with an excellent record as a capa-
BILE and experienced coach. He began
his football career with the Colgate
academy eleven and later entered Col
gate university, where he played on
the team for four years He cap
tained the team in 1909 and was men
toned by several papers as choice
for an All-Amertcan end. AS a coach
he has held positions at Jefferson coll
iege, OF Louisiana, and the Louisiana
State university. At the latter insti-
tuition he has turned out three teams

The strong combination developed
last year by Mig Billings has been
hard hit by graduation and war con-

The shaving on one side only of the

was obviously done to prevent any at

other motives for such half shaving.
which occurs at all sorts OF points In
history. Sometimes the act has been
pure insult. as when Hanun. king OF

In these days the victims would have
mended- matters by shaving the other
half. But. Jewish reverence for the
