Most people, when they hear a
young girl spoken of as a chicken
naturally think the expression is
slang, and pretty raw slang at that.
But it is not if Webster's unabrlde-
ed dictionary can be taken as au.
thority. The second definition of
the word in that book is as follows:
"A young person; especially young
woman; a maiden" The following
quotation from Swift is also added:
Stella is no chicken" Look il up,

II Is essential that Christmas
p ackaees for American soldiers in
F rance be mailed not later than

tb Elf delivery on Christmas morn

Arrangements have been made
for prompt delivery to the soldiers
on Christmas morning.
In furtherance OF this. Postmas-
I er General Burleson, jointly with
the Secretary of War and the Sec
etary OF the Navy. have issued the
following notice to the public:
The time is approaching to give
thought to bringing Christmas
cheer to the American soldiers and
sailors abroad.
Arrangements have been perfect.
ed whereby the Christmas mail to
the American expeditionary forces
in Europe is to be delivered by
Christmas morning Without the
fullest cooperation on the part Of
the public it will be impossible to
accomplish this result.
The three essential respects in
which the public can aid in assur
ing happy Christmas at the front
are mail early. address intelligently,
and pack securely. For this reason
1t is urgently reque sted that all per-
sons having Christmas mail for the
soldiers and sailors and the civilian
units attached to the Army in
Europe observe closely the follow
ing directions:
Mails to reach the soldiers in
France by Christmas morning must
be posted not later than Novem-
Der Is.
Every package must bear con-
spicuously the words "Christmas
mail" the complete address of the
person for whom it is intended and
in the upper left-hand corner the
name and address of the sender
Every parcei must be so packed
and wrapped as to admit of easy
inspection by the postmaster. No
parcel will be dispatched to France
which has not the postmaster's Ger.
tificate that il contains no prohibit
ed articles.
The time Of sailing of transports
and regular liners, the examination

land transportation on the other
side has TO be allowed for It is
essential also that the packages

mailable under the parcel. post reg
ulation of this country: and that the
parcels shall be securely wrapped,
but may be readily opened by the
postmaster to determine the char.
acter of their contents.
Measures have been taken to
have packages received in France,
which are marked tor Christmas de-
livery, delivered on Christmas morn
ing. Parcels so marked will be held
at convenient stations for delivery
on that day. This will insure a
real Christmas to our boys in
France if parcels are mailed here
promptly, and prevent the Christ
mas character of the parcels being
destroyed by too early delivery.
The rate of postage on parcels to
members of the American expedi-
tionary forces in France is IL cents
per pound from any place within
the United States.

.75 GALLONS 0F BOOZE
 IS POURED INTO RIVER
Confiscated Booze. Of High and Low Grade, Dilutes Waters of the Ar-
 ROnsaS-T for Fishes.

The little fishes and those big fish that the fishermen all say always get away-are having the time of their lives about now, particularly if they are bibulously inclined, because the water of the Arkansas river is being impregnated with "booze' i'll consid- erable quantity, by the properly con- stituted authorities of this county.
 Twice already this week have the members of the sheriff's deoartmens poured large quantity of whisky of high and low grade into the rivet. from the bank at the rear of the courthouse, after first breaking the flasks and bottles in which the liquor was contained. Some of the liquor was just ordinary bootleg" bran1 l stuff. but some was real "classy," appetizing bottled in bond' stuff.
 So far this week. there has been poured into the river nearly 73 gal Ions of whisky, the exact count show ing 2Sh cases of bottled goods has thus been destroyed. There is still a big stock of confiscated booze in the custody of the sheriff, but most of this is held in connection with a. rests of persons who have appealed their cases to tho supreme court. and t'ae liruor will not be destroyed until the high tribunal has finally acted on those cases.
