FAIR AND SoUARE."-It is too
bad the Chicago Herald printed its
front-page editorial, "The Public Be
Damned" Sunday, concerning the
coal strike. A little personal, expert
ence helps one to get a more just
view of such a thing.
On Friday, a little after o'clock
in the evening, while still half a
block away, I noticed man whip
ping a horse. Hurrying a little l
came up and said: Don't strike
your horse that way" He said: ut
won't move; I deserve as much sym
pathy as the horse does; l have had
nothing to eat all day" The wagon
was drawn by two horses and was
loaded high with coal; the ground
was covered with snow and ice; two
or three men tried to help, but the
horses would not move, and finally
the men all went home.
The driver, a young man Of about
20, leaned dispiritedly against one of
the horses; a little boy came along
and he said: eff team would come
along they could push me out" So
then walked on, on the lookout for
a team and, as good fortune would
have it, found a coal wagon almost
unIoaded, and begged the men to go
and help the other; they promised to
do so; at their suggestion 1 went
back and told the boy wagon was
coming to help him and then went
home, nearly an hour late and thor
oughIy chilled, for it was too cold to
stand on the street, yet here was a
boy with his team, out all day with
nothing to eat for himself and prob
ably nothing for the horses. I asked
the name of the company and deter
mined to tell them thought the

ing with rifle at fleeing robbers in
the streets, if ever such there be,
also incurs the danger of hitting and
killing perfectly good and taxpaying
citizens.
1 therefore doubt the efficacy of a
rifle squad as an exterminator of
crime in. Chicago.-Theodore john

AUTOlS1S HAVE TILL
 FEB. 20 ID REGISTER
Those Who Fail to Comply With City Ordinance by That Date Will be
 Hailed Into Court.

Automobile owners must register, not later than February 20, their ma chimes and the number of their license plates, at police headquarters, other. wise they will be hailed into court where Police Judge J. R. Stewart will likely assess against them the fine of $5 provided for such offense by city ordinance.
 Announcement to this effect was made yesterday by Chief of Police Frank Stewart, who added that the ordinance is to be enforced against all persons who violate it. It costs nothing to register, there is no fee to be paid. and the registration can be accomplished over telephone, hence there is no excuse for any auto owner to offer, for failure to comply with the ordinance. The police have pre- pared the registration book, and the desk sergeants have heen instructed to enter therein the information ob- tained from the auto owners. It is now up to the owners of automobiles. the police having allowed them until February 20 in which to comply with the ordinance

THE DAY FOR A NEW HABIT
By w. J. PECK

This has been named as Thrift Day" The memo. you are to make on your calendar is this:
 Get Another Thrift Habit"
 A lot of good thrift preaching has been done by the bankers and other interested citizens in the last two years. Now it is time to act--time to Shit the trail!"
 Thrift Day should mean something concrete for Jones, Mrs. Jones, and all the Jones children. Down at the store, or in the office, Jones can spare a minute to figure out way to translate his impulse to save into a definite setting aside of part of his weeks pay or profits for deposit in the bank Very positively, Jones can resolve to make that bank deposit the nucleus of a fund which, later, will become an investment fund.
 Another thing Jones can do on Thrift Day-organize among his fel- lows at the store or in the office some sort of cooperative Thrift club. It is easier to save when all of those about you are also saving-just as it's easy to spend when the gang is getting free with the coin.
 To Mrs. Jones, Thrift Day can be made to mean something concrete,

PINE BLUFF NEWS
This Case Has q Hint for Many
 Graphic Readers.

A Pine Bluff woman has used Doan's Kidney Pills.
 She has found them as represented.
 She wishes her neighbors to know.
 She publicly recommends them.
 No need to look further for test ed kidney remedy.
 The proof Of merit is here and can be investigated.
 Profit by Mrs. Racop's statement.
 Mrs. J. A. Racop, 1416 State St., Pine Bluff, says: For years I suf- fered from heavy ache in the small of my back I could hardly get up after sitting and I couldn't stoop over CT lift anything. I was always lame and stiff in the morning and I felt all worn-out. My kidneys acted irregu- larly, too. Before I had finished half a box of Doan's Kidney Pills, I was helped After taking the whole box, the pains left my back and my kidneys were normal" f ++
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Racop had. FosterMilburn Co.,, Props., Buffalo, N V.

also. Not one Mrs. Jones out of ten who read this knows, practically, what it means to run a home on the budget plan. It is really an interest ing plan well worth knowing about.
 Let Mrs. Jones resolve to adopt the budget plan on Thrift Day-figure her income for the next four weeks, and then sit down to decide definitely how she shall spend every cent of it.. Probably she won't be able to stick to her budget appropriation. but she will try-and trying is the beginning of Thrift wisdom.
 What can Thrift Day be made to mean to Johnny and Billy and Helen and Annie and Margery the baby? Inside the family occurs the most ef- fective teaching the kids will get. While children are young and easily habits of waste, or of prou dence are fixed. So. on Thrift Day, let each one of the Jones flock show some coin either earned or saved- anything from cent to a dime.
 If Thrift Day could bring to ev- erybody sensible definition of Thrift, what a day it would be! Can you frame one better than this:
 Thrift is moderate saving and sen- sible investment.

|MR. |. |. SEES SHADOW;
 RETURNS TO HIS HOLE
According to Old Legend, This Presages Forty More Days
 of Wintry Weather.

MT. Ground Hog moved aside the covering of his winter quarters yes tcrday. took one little furry outside and immediately thereafter disap- peared into his hole, where, having seen his shadow, he will remain for another forty days.
 It was Ground Hog Day yesterday. According to the old legend, if the ground hog saw his shadow there would be forty days of winter And he saw his shadow yesterday, because seldom has there been prettier, more bright-sun-s shiny winter day than was experienced in Pine Bluff yesterday.
 If the legend works out, Pine Bluff folk may expect quite period of wintry weather yet, and they may confidently prepare for it, as there are many old folk hereabouts who will assure them that they have never known the ground hog to be fooled by weather conditions.

Proper View of Life,

Why is it, I wonder, that the little boy almost always imagines that out side of home is to be found the larger liberty? Why do young men fondly dream that wonder, always wonder, is to be found business opportunity? :? Why does the dissolute man conclude that, outside the common virtues of society, he is to find the larger life? For you, my son, will sometime find that your largest liberty was in the old home, where, if there was author ity, there was also deep and abiding love; and you, my friend, will find that others succeeded in your home town, while you failed in the world 1; and you, my liberty-loving man, will most surely realize that in the com- mon virtues of the simply good life is to be found what you seek in the by-paths of the world. Find the wealth that lies everywhere about you. Prac- tice the virtues that you know. Cher ish the love that is yours now. Value the friends that you have known; and in the superficial you will find the profound, and in the simple things the things eternal.-St. Johns Bulle- tin.

All mattresses, used either by chm. dren or adults, should be we'll brushed and beaten once a fortnight. Put in the sun by open windows when pos. sible. In this way the white dust which comes from the body is not al- lowed to lie on the creases of the mattress covers. A good rule is to have mattresses brushed regularly one day in each week.

BIG LEAGUE MAGNATES
IN annual Session
RY N. g. HAMILTON

United Press stan Correspondent.
NEW YORK, Feb. - ~ Suffering
fandom doubtless Will learn today to
its great relief that there never has
been a chance for baseball players 10
pull of their threatened strike, and
that all talk Of such action Is worthy
only OF youthful minds.
The two major leagues will hold
their annual schedule and rules com
mittee meetings in New York, begin
ming today, and all sorts OF reasons
for laughing at the strike are eX-
pected to emanate from the suDoueu
air at the Waldorf Hotel.
II Dave F'ultz thinks he has play
ers strike in operation he should
be a witness at today's proceedings,
for Il is time he was told differently.
The strike Will be officially called
null and void so far as baseball mag
mates are concerned.
Besides this momentous announce
ment several wrangles are expected
to develop In what otherwise would
be a peaceful session. Tho National
League head, John X. Tener, wants
some changes made In the playing
rules and so do a few others.
Tensr believes the plate Is too small,
judging apparently by the efforts o.
some pitchers who draw pay checks
from his cohorts, and he wants II
broadened a full inch. Also, he will
suggest with great concern that three
balls should constitute a walk and not
four. Many other suggestions which
have been talked OF are expected 10
find the light OF day.
Changes in admission prices for
worlds series contests probably will
be brought up also. The American
League already has gone on record
as taYoring a reduction in the tax FOL
turnstile power. Ban Johnson wants
only a double price for admission e
all sections except boxes, which h'
would sell at So each.
Ban Johnson also is expected L
