DECAYED BRIDGE
 CAUSES INJURIES
Structure North of Paragould Breaks, Precipitating Prison
 CTS Into Creek.

While Street Commissioner Bob iClark was working several county
 prisoners on the bridge between
 Paragould and the fair grounds yes terday afternoon, the structure fell, hurting three of the young men, land ducking others in Eight Mile creek Fred Pierce was injured about the face and head; Floyd Mobbs was bruised about the body
 and limbs, and two Branch boys were thrown into the creek, sus- taining slight injuries. These four young men were committed to the bounty jail early in the week by a justice of the peace at Brighton for
 gaming, and were being worked on Ithe county roads in lieu of their fines.
 The timbers of the northwest sec tion of the bridge had become un- sound, and the floor and stream CTS were being removed by the men to make room for new mate rial, when an old timber broke under the weight of the workmen and precipitated them below, and
 part of the material fell upon the men, hurting them as above describ- ed.
 The unsound condition of this
 bridge serves as a reminder of the frightful neglect to such
 properties now being experienced
 through lack of intelligent attention
 upon the part of the county. The
 attempt to make county scrip worth one hundred cents on the dollar at the expense of farmers who

BAKERY UNITS TO
 BE ORGANIZED
Opportunity For Young Men to Enlist in Profitable Trade
 Period of War.

The quartermaster generals of
 flee in Washington has senC out notice to the effect that forty ba- kery companies are to be organized at once and is calling for volun- teers to fill the ranks of that
 branch of the service. The Daily Press this morning received mo- tice covering this department of fish the call for volunteers. Young men of draft age, if they apply be-
 fore being called into the newarmy,
 arc privileged to volunteer for this as well as other branches of the army service. But the volunteering
 must be done before they are called
 under the draft order.
 The bakery companies are com
 posed of seventy privates each, first and second lieutenants, tWentyfour sergeants, fifteen corporals and two cooks, and they will be paid ac-
 cording to the new schedule of sal aries. In addition, the government furnishes food, lodging and cloth ing. Application for enlistment may be made at any regular recruiting station.
 The equipment consists of the Army Field Bakery No. 1 oven with equipage. One of these ovens with equipage is designated as a unit, and is so equipped that it is a field bakery complete in itself with a personnel of 6 men capable of supplying 1900 men per day with bread.
 Fifteen of these units constitute a Bakery Company and the com
 pany has a capacity of forty thou sand pounds of bread per day.
 This is an opportunity for strong
 and energetic young men to learn
 trade. Men who volunteer now
 will have an excellent opportunity
 for promotion. There are about 800 vacancies in the grade of Ser geant Baker and 600 in the grade of Corporal to be filled by the most capable men.
 In addition to this there will be vacancies in the grade of 1st and
 2nd Lieutenant for experienced ba-

TO A YOUNG MOTHER

TO A YOUNG MOTHER. - Yes,
there are men who would not cen
sor nor condemn a girl for foolish
and sad mistake made in life, for we
all make mistakes in life and, as
rule, those who are so eager to con-
denim are the very ones who cause
the downfall of the weak; and any
person, man or woman, who acts as
a judge and condemns a girl who has
made a mistake and who is trying to
redeem herself is not deserving of
the name of man or woman. Mel
Their are they Christians, for does not
the bible say, Let he that is without
sin cast the first stone?
I, for one, hold every respect for
any woman who gives BIRTH to a
child, whether it be in wedlOck or
otherwise. She is a MOTHER! And
that is sacred. And the highest trib-
ute should be paid to motherhood.
If Young Mother needs a friend she
can find that friend in me, a human
being.-G. Morris.
