Play That Eelps.

Play that leads the children to use their own ideas and perhaps also to make their own toys is infinitely to be preferred to amusementS that offer no stimulation to their imagination. In family where word games were liked the mother saved all the news papers that had large black letters and let the children cut the letters out neatly. An envelope was labeled for each letter, and all the AS put ln one all the "Bs" in another, and so on. Then squares of cardboard were cut out and the letters were pasted on Material for game was economically supplied thus, and extra occupation Tor the children, too Another time some paraffin was given to them to nold' It was first put in the oven until i'll a workable condition.

SYRUP OF FIGS FUR
 A CH|LD'S BOWELS
It is cruel to fierce nauseating, harsh physic into a
 sick child.

Look back at your childhood days. Remember the dose" mother insisted on-castor oil. calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them.
 With our children it's different. Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don't realize what they do. The children's revolt is well-found- ed. Their tender little "insides" are injured by them.
 If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing. give only deli cious California Syrup of Figs" It's action is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless fruit laxative" handy they know children love to take it; that 1t never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweet en the stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomor- row
 Ask at the store for 50-cent bottle of california Syrup of Figs" which has full directions for babies. children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on each bottle. Adv.

Little Rock

Llttle ROCK
 The receipt of a letter from k. H. Stapp of Kevil, Ky, assures Little Rock of a $25,000 four mill said Frank T. Longley, manager of the Mer- chants Bureau of the Little Rock Board of Commerce. MT. Stapp wrote that he had closed transactions at Kevil for the removal of the big mill to Little Rock, and that he and J. II. Nelson. who with l.. H. Randolph, own the mill, will come to Little Rock next week to close negotiations here"
 The location of a flour mill in Little Rock was urged in connection with the profitable farming campaign in Oe- tober, 1916. and Carl J. Baer then manager of the Board of Commerce, opened negotiations with the Ken lucky men. Following MT Baer's res ignation from the Board of Commerce, MT. Longley and H. K. Ford, tempo rarily in charge of the management, carried the deal to a close
 The new mill will be located at 14i3 East Ninth street, in the plant former ly occupied by the Purified Petroleum Products Company The plant had been idle for about a year when an option was secured on it by MT. Baer in behalf of the Kentucky men.
 The mill will produce flour. bran. graham four and other byproducts of the milling business. The plant will have capacity of 150 barrels or more of four a day.
 The new mill will be great in- ducement for farmers to grow wheat, Mr Longley said Wheat growing has been advocated by the Profitable Farming Bureau, and with local mar ket farmers are more likely to re spond. It will be another step in the direction of diversifieation."

SWISS WELCOMES
 YARROWDALE CREW
AMERICANS SAY THEY WERE TREATED BADLY BY GERMANS
 HAD SOUP ONCE DAILY.
ONE IN PARTY IS HELD
Yankees Convinced That the Raider Which Sank Their Vessel Was "Ritz of Brennan" Which They
 Describe as a New Boat.

Zurich-Laden with cigars, cigar cites and food showered upon them by the hospitable Swiss, 59 of the now historic Yarrowdale prisoners arrived in Zurich They arrived at the Ger man frontier at Lindau, after con- tinuous trip of 52 hours from the pris- on camp at Brandenburg
 The sailors, although emaciated from their imprisonment and serious lack of food since their arrival in Ger many on December 31, are in fair con dition and confident that with a nor maj amount of food they will soon be themselves again.
 The party was met here by United States Consul-General Keene. who greeted them briefly and asked them not to forget that they were Ameri- cans and not to bring discredit on America by yielding to an understand. able temptation to kick over the traces"
 The sailors said that they were l convinced that the raider which sank their vessel was the Ritz of Bremen" They describe her as brand new yes sel of about 5000 tons, capable of IS knots, equipped with one funnel, two masts, one false funnel, four torpedo tubes. seven rapid firing guns and a wheelhouse which was hidden by side i of the ship.
 The tunnels had devise by which the stripes could be changed at will, and the ships doors were so con- structed as to cut off all light when they were open.
 During their stay in Germany, they reported, they had subsisted on one allowance of soup daily and had made their long journey to the border on one such meal" There was hardly one of them who, they declared. had not felt the fist of German camp guard, and the squad of five soldiers which brought them to the border had exercised the privilege of abusing them up to the last possible moment The men tell of the terrible suffer ings they underwent during a period of severe cold weather in Germany, due partly to lack of fuel, but more to the absence of the shoes and cloth ing which they had lost. Since their | entrance into Switzerland at Ro- schach. they say, they have been roy ally treated.
 The party includes all the Ameri- cans detained, except one seaman named Bulleat. of French Canadian family, claiming to have been born in Massachusetts, who was held in Brand enburg They were accompanied by one Brazilian and one Spaniard.

Permanent organization of a good roads association to promote the con struction of highway from Mammoth Spring to Hot Springs was effected at Clinton by representatives from five county road associations interested in the project. It is planned to build the road through the formation of road districts in each of the counties tra- versed by the road.
 Hiram Sutterfield of Shirley, presi- dent of the temporary organization eff fected recently, and w. E. Halbrook of the State Department of Education, who is connected with the movement, were in Little Rock en route to Nor rilton where a meeting was held in the interest of the road.
 The proposed road would start at Mammoth Spring and would pass through Salem, Melbourne, Mountain View, Shirley, Clinton and Morrilton to Hot Springs. Road associations to boost the project have been formed, Mir Halbrook said, in Fulton, Izard, Stone, Van Ruren and Conway coun- ties. Steps are being taken to form associations in Perry and Garland counties. After the organization 8 completed little trouble is expected in forming the improvement districts in each county
 Advantages from the construction of the road urged by it's advocates, are that it will give improved transporta- tion facilities to four county seats that are not on a railroad, and will aid il the development of the country by opening up an attractive scenic route for tourist traffic from St. Louis to the Southwest, in addition to bettering conditions in each of the counties.
