VOLUNTEERS APPEAL
 IN BEHALF OF POOR
Captain Watts Issues Letter in Inter- est of Christmas Fund to Be Used
 for Christmas Baskets.

Captain and Mrs. R. B. Watts, of- ficers in charge of the local home of the Volunteers of America, have issued a letter to the people of Pine Bluff, asking assistance in the matter of helping the poor people of this city in having happy Christmas. Con- tribution boxes have been placed at the various cold drink stands and con- fectionary stores and will be placed in the various dry goods stores of this city today. The money to be re- ccived in this manner will be devoted to the purchase of Christmas dinners for the poor and needy and each de j.. serving family will be given a we'll filled basket on Christmas morning.
 The letter issued yesterday is as follows:
 ''To the People of Pine Bluff: "We are doing all we can to relieve the needs of the poor and unfortunate sick of the city, especially that of the women and children who need help and there are quite a number of them. "Winter with it's biting demands is upon us again, and there are those in i the city who are needy and helpless, and it is our hope to make them at : least comfortable in body, even if temporarily.
 "Christmas is nearly here and un- less a helping hand is held out to those who are not able to help them selves-there will be sad hearts, and empty stockings, and barren cubboards on this day of all days-the anniver- sary of the birth of our Lord. :! ssWe have distributed some letters calling the attention of the people of the efforts we are making in this be- half, and we have placed contribution boxes in different places of business in i the city.
 "We now invite those who are in sympathy with the work we are doing to help with their aid, to the end that many may be made happy and com fortable, who will not be without your help"

DAWSON AMAZON FAILS
 TO REACH TRENCHES

Mrs. Jack Clifton, who left Daw- son with the intention of enlisting with Uncle Sams troopers to carry a bayonet against the Huns, met with a singular experience on reach ing Seattle. She announced that she would go straight to Seattle and there apply to the first recruit ing station to get into khaki, and go with the first contingent of Sam mics sent to kill the Kaiser.
 The intention of the would-be Ana zon was good, and she was determ- ined to carry them out to the last letter. But on her arrival at that ways, she encountered a singular and powerful diverting force. It was Happy Jack" Clifton, erstwhile For tymile miner, her husband, and Jack kicked over the kettle and spoiled the beans. To put it more literally Mir Happy Jack hove in sight at the unexpected and critical moment be- fore the prospective recruit could reach the recruiting station and be kidnapped Mrs. Happy Jack and whisked her away to the farm.
 At last accounts MT. and Mrs. Happy Jack were down on the old homestead near Lebanon, Oregon, the place where Jack was born and reared to manhood. Both Happy Jack and Mrs. Happy Jack are pull ing weeds, milking cows, wrestling with the big yellow pumpkin-a per fectly happy pair of Jacks.
 In the meantime the Russian Anna zon regiment of death is left to carry out the part of the fighting women of the Allied cause while the Klondike delegate will fill the hum ble yet not unimportant part of shooting forward beans and bacon.
