Interesting Facts.
Here they are. all cold-blooded
facts:

Of the area OF all Michigan.

sources the cry Of THE Forty-ninth

moments came and there vas a gener-

LOCAL PRIDE.

Residents of Pine Bluff take pride in their schools, in their churches, in their public works and improvements.
 Every resident of Pine Bluff hopes for betterments and works for bet terments as the years pass.
 In other words, every Pine Bluff man Is supposed to be home town booster.
 But to create a good community one attractive to those living in it and those living around it-tax money is required.
 And nothing produces tax money like local Improvements by private persons.
 The men who help pay our taxes and thus support Pine Bluff are en- titled to encouragement in every way.
 And the encouragement that counts most is to keep as much money at home as possible.

For the United States to be able to prosecute the war against outocracy as vigorously as it should it is neces- sary that all industries be kept going. Paralysis of business at home will weaken the fighting force abroad. It is, therefore, necessary that people purchase whatever they need, and whatever amusement they require and can afford. You should not waste, but neither should you hoard.
 For Pine Bluff to continue as pros porous as it is now, it is. necessary that "business as usual" be the pol icy. If you need something you can not grow or fabricate, buy it from Pine Bluff merchant. You'll not gain by deferring the purchase.
 The merchants can do their patri- otic part in maintaining business as usual" and inducing people to trade in Pine Bluff by presenting their attrac- tive offerings to the public in the Pine Bluff newspapers. They can let the people know what they have in stock and the prices at which these articles can be obtained. Frequently, they can stimulate trading by suggestion and by exceptional values. Coco values, and publicity in the Pine Bluff papers furnish the solution to the mail order problem, insofar as the merchant is concerned.
 The merchant who is not anxious tc do his best to maintain business as usual" will probably cease to adver- tise. This will enable him to reduce his force of salesmen. Because the merchant who has not enough conf dence in his goods, his prices, to ad- vertise them in the Pine Bluff papers evidently does not expect the people tc think more of his goods than he does and, consequently, he will not neeo many salesmen certainly, not as many as the patriotic, progressive merchant who knows his prices arc fair, his goods as represented, ane who is not afraid to advertise these facts.
 Business as usual" will be the rule if everyone is patriotic enough to dt his part, and the merchants is grea part.

ENLIGHTENMENT NEEDED.

If the German military caste took the trouble to think it would realize that the present military status cannot be improved in their direction. It would realize that the maximum of territory has been achieved, and that from henceforth the pendulum will swing against them.
 Realizing this, 1t should dawn upon this military autocracy that all fight
 ing henceforth is merely vain at tempt to keep it's holdings, and eventu- ally it will prove useless waste of lives and treasure.
 The German people-through their
 strong Socialist party Or through any other means-should force the govern , ment to seek peace terms. Criminal as it was to start this world war, il is equally criminal to continue it to
 no purpose.

PRESS COMMENT. T.
ATLANTA'S LESSON.

Great fires often have salutary after-effect. Atanta's S3,000,000 blaze, largely due to her indifference to fundamental fire protection, prom ises such sequel.
 Before the fire Atlanta's neWspa= pers, her fire insurance companies, her chamber of commerce and other CIVIC institutions consistently urged an anti shingle roof ordinance and warned the people of what happened the other day if it was not adopted.
 But the authorities didn't act, for fear they might incur some unpopu- larity, and so when the great fire get its start the other day it found fine fuel in hundreds of shingle-roofs. In proportion to size porbably no city had more of them But for this fact, the fire department probably would have been able to control the con- flagration before it had attained a half or third of the proportions it did attain.
 Atlanta, if she takes the lesson to heart, will not have had her great fire in vain. She ought to follow the eX- ample of New Orleans-either of pro- hibiting the shingle-roof CT of insist ing upon fire-proof shingles.
 An anti-shingle roof will not of course make a conflagration imposs- ible anywhere. But it is one of the best safeguards against extensive fires in residential districts.-New Orleans States.

Proper Thing Now Is to
 Peel Off Soiled Skin

Those who abhor sticky, greasy, shiny, streaked complexions should re- ligiously avoid creams, powders and rouges during the heated days. There's no need for, them, anyway, since the virtues of mercolized wax have become known. No amount of precipitation will, produce any evidence that you'v been using the wax. As it is applied at bedtime and washed off in the morn ing, the complexion never looks like a makeup. Mercolized wax gradually takes off bad complexion instead of adding anything to make it worse. It has none of the disadvantages of cos metics and accomplishes much more in keeping the complexion beautifully white, satiny and youthful. Just get an ounce of it at your druggists and see what a few days treatment will do. Use like cold cream.
 Another effective warm weather reatment-heat tending to cause wrinkles and flabbiness-is skin tightener made by dissolving one ounce of powdered saxolite in half pint of witch hazel.

 In an article, Enhances of Cities" !" the United States department of com- merce puts it as follows:
 'In 149 of the 213 American cities of more than 30,000 population the excess of expenditures for govern mental costs, including interest and outlays for permanent Improvements over revenues, during the year 1916, amounted to $S6,013.326, or $3.6s per capita. In the remaining GA cities the excess of revenues over expenditures was SHAPE, ,256, or $1.40 per capita. Taking the entire 213 cities as group, the excess of expenditures over revenues amounted to $73,591 ,O7O, or $2.2S per capita. The net indebted ness of these cities averaged $76.64 PCT capita-a figure nearly eight times as great as the corresponding one for the national government. Eighty-nine cities, or nearly Az per cont of the total number, are operat- ing under the commission form of gov ernment."
 It is perhaps unnecessary to add anything to the above report. Noth- ing as effective could be added there to. Our cities know how to spend money.

The penny, like calico, has come
into its own again. Once a spurned
coin it is, today, one of real value.

also established its value in the com

In the old days, the days when a

enough meat for a medium sized fam
lily, when a jitney bought real loaf
of bread, and when bacon eaters were
considered common" people, the we'll
known copper penny circulated about
the country mutely apologizing for
having been minted
Even the head of Lincoln on this
coin seemed to droop in shame-back
in the old days.
1t was during that period Of ancient
history, some five or six years ago,
that the penny only had two friends,
the small boy and the small girl, and
the big majority of the extensive fam
lily of pennies spent most of their
time imprisoned in toy banks.
consien it to Bank
The average man in those days,
when a ''bilIion-dollar congress- was
considered an accursed thing, would
contemptuously pull forth a penny
found lurking in his loose change
pocket, leer at it as if to say, why,
you little rascal, you've got a lot a
crust wishin' yourself off on me,
then drop it clinking in utter shame,
into Little WiIlie's bank, which was
never opened except at Christmas
time.
