certain religious beliefs and with wives or otne1
relatives wholly dependent on them for support Inc
local boards will have authority to exempt the physically
unfit and members of certain religious societies. That
is far as their authority extends The appellate boards
in each judicial district will have charge of the exemp-
ton for occupaonal reasons and will hear the state
ments of those with dependents 1t will be that out
side of the classes named the exemptions will be based
each on its own merits Farmers will not be exempt as
class but large portion of them will doubt be eX
empted It will be the same with miners and those en-
gagged in work indispensable to the nations needs Tele
graphefs electrical workers and such pursuits will not

CHAU7AUQUA PROGRAM
 UNUSUALLY STRONG

Five days of happiness, patriotism chautauqua which comes to Pine Bluff this year, because of the unusual list of star entertainers. There are sev- eral lecturers of national reputation, one whose coming will arouse par ticular interest being Senator Helen Ring Robinson of Colorado, the first woman to be elected as state senator In New Haven, Conn.,, she was pro- nounced "the most entertaining and wittiest woman speaker who ever ap- peared here."
 "The Melting Pot" will probably be the triumphant feature of the chau- tauqua. This is 8 drama of alien Am erican life. It is the combined ex- pression of the yearnings of millions of alien hearts for that liberty of life and thought that native Americans accept as their birthright without wonder and sometimes without grati- tude.
 Not when it was first produced, nor at any time since, has there been a time when this drama was so timely as right now, and so Charles F. Holner has decided to produce it on the chau- tauqua circuit, which includes Pine Bluff. It will be produced as it was in New York. Many of the original cast have been re-engaged.
 The program includes such men as Dr. Dean c. Dutton, with a very vital message, and Chancellor Bradford, with his great lecture, America s Destiny" The musical program in- cludes the nationally famous Sc11ild- kret's orchestra which has the happy

HAUBER THEATRE.

Bluebird Photoplays, Inc, are send ing to the Hauber theatre their new est and most engaging production. "The Girl in the Checkered Coat" in which Dorothy Phillips will interpret the two leading characters-repre- senting two sisters utterly unlike in personal appearance and tempera- mental characteristics. Photographic trlckery will enter largely into the possibilities that create some remark able illusions-scenes wherein Miss Phillips will draw her own insensible self from room to room, meet and converse with herself, walk with her self and bend oyer herself as, she is, herself, seated in great armchair giving herself her own personal opin- ion of herself as she represents simul- taneously, the two separate charac- ters. Reads oddly but\it will be proven to be, nevertheless, true in all particulars, when this sensational entertainment is unfolded> for the en- joyment of local picture "fans,"

THE WORTHAM SHOWS.

Last evening all the Wortham at- fractions were open and a big crowd Saw the best shows ever here. The new ones were on par with the ones witnessed Monday evening.
 The Revelation show proved to be all that had been claimed for it and is the most artistic and entertaining feature ever presented under canvas here. There is combination of melody, mystery and mirth to be en- joyed there that baffles adequate de- scription. The old Egyptian mystery. founded on the turning of the God dess of the Nile into breathing hu- man being is presented and this fea- ture alone attracts attention. The living pictures of famous artists is another enjoyable number and, taken all together, the attraction is we'll worth while in every sense of the word.

Alkali Makes Soap
 Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
 The best thing'to tse is just plain mul- sifed cocoanut oil, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or any, thing else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and few ounces will last the whole family for months.
 Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a. teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich' 1 creamy lather, e1eansss thor So;- ',1 dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff.

REV. ARTHUR TROTT NOW
SETTLED IN HIS NEW HOME

Rev. Arthur Trott and family are
now nicely settled in the Methodist

and has been formally welcomed to
this community. Mr.. and Mrs. Trott

"a number of the members of the
Methodist church, or learning that
Rev. Arthur Trott had returned from
conference and that he had been APP
pointed to Paw Paw for the coming
year, surprised Mr.. and Mrs. Trott
Tuesday evening. A very pleasant
evening was spent, refreshments were
served and a pretty fruit dish pre-
sented to the retiring pastor and his
wife"
"Rev. and Mrs. Arthur Trott leave
for their new home in Paw Paw to-
day where Rev. Trott will take up his
duties as pastor of the M. f. church.
During their three years as residents
of. our village they have gained a host
of friends. Rev. and Mrs. Trott

GOVERNOR NAMES OCTOBER
NINE AS STATE FIRE DAY

At the suggestion of State Fire
Marshall Ellsworth, Governor Sleeper
has issued proclamation designating
Tuesday, October Ninth, as state fire
prevention day.
This day is the anniversary of the
Chicago fire, and it is urged that on
that day citizens of the state re-
move all rubbish and all waste in
fiammable material from their prem
Uses.
The fire losses in Michigan for the
first six months of 1917 amounted to
$6,315,7S5, or nearly half a million
dollars more than the losses for the
entire year Of 1916, says commission
er Ellsworth.
During these six months in this
state, eighty-two persons lost their
lives and ninety-nine were seriously
burned and injured through fires and
the careless use Of gasoline and kero-
sene.
More than seventy-five per cent OF
these fires and accidents were due to
preventable causes, and could have
been easily avoided by the exercise
of reasonable care and precaution."
