POWERFUL ARGUMENT.

In all discussions of the liquor ques- ton there is one powerful argument on the side of those who favor the prohibition of the liquor traffic, wheth- CT the prohibition is applied to a large area or small one, namely, that the man who opposes the sale of liquor is asking nothing for himself except re- lief from injury at the hands of the others, while the man who insists up on the sale of liquor Is asking some thing for himself which cannot be granted without injury to others.- Kentucky White-Ribbon.

BOARDS OF TRUSTEES
 SOLICIT DONATIONS

Little Rock, April 10-The Boards of Trustees of the State Industrial schools solicit donations of site of not less than 200 acres for farming purposes, upon which to locate the Boys School, and contributions in money or materials be used in the construction of the necessary ma terials. It is requested that all offers be submitted by May 1, so that the school may be located in time for the raising of a crop this year.
 These donations are necessary be- cause the legislature failed to make an appropriation to purchase the site and required that it be located on lands to be donated. The law pro- vides that the new Girls School shall be located on the present site of the Boys School, and until a site can be secured, it will be impossible for eth CT school to make any progress. It is estimated that the Boys School means an income of at least $20,000 a year to the community where it is located
 In message to the people of the state, Gov. Brough says, "Your care ful attention and patronage of this worthy cause is urged"
 The boards are as follows:
 Boys School-John w. Wade, Lit tie Rock, chairman; Miss Julia Hous- tob, Pine Bluff, secretary; w. H. Laney, Clarendon; F. T. Reynolds, Fort Smith; Mrs. Anna B. Stoops, Stuttgart
 Girls School-Mrs. Chas. L. Scha- fer, Little Rock, chairman; Mrs. M. B. Sanders, Little Rock, secretary Mrs. Joe Frauenthal, Conway; Dr. A. C. Shipp, Little Rock; Dr. R. l.. Smith, Russellville.

POLL TAX RECEIPTS
 ISSUED TO WOMEN VALID

Little Rock, April 10.-State Audi tor Hogan Oliver gives it as his opinion that the poll tax receipts be- ing issued now are perfectly valid. The question had been raised on the receipts being issued to the women, the statement being made that they are probably invalid because they do not comply with the requirements of the new election law. The new law was not adopted until the first week in November, and the result could not be officially declared for thirty days thereafter. Tax-payng had to begin Jan. 1, and the blank receipts had to be in the hands of the various col lectors before that time. Dr. Dickin- son, then state auditor, could not wait until the official declaration of the passage of the law to have the blank poll tax receipts printed. This acc counts for the fact that all receipts now being issued bear the signature of M. F. Dickinson, state auditor, and do not contain age and color and other qualifications of the voter as required by the new law. The re- ceipts issued to the men and women are identical. and if one is illegal, all are illegal

November 8, 1917.
Dear Mr.. Jackson:

member of the Tooth Infantry The
Tooth is at the extreme end of camp
and about 100 yards from the company
street is Army II NJ. G. Building No.

If the Scranton people could be in
camp and see the work being done by
the Army r. M. G. A. there would be
no difficulty raising Scranton's part of
the $35, 900, 600. Before we were moved
othe Tooth, we had a Y M G. A. in
a mess shack near the old Thirteenth
the building had not been finished
and here we gathered night after night
and during the day, when we were not
on duty.
Now we have a finished building
40X120, with many conyeniences for our
comfort and pleasure. At one end is
o long counter, behind which the secre-
taries give US free writing paper, en-
velopes, pens, blotters, wrapping pape;
and Irvine, besides selling us stamps
postcards and express money orders
These men are kept on the jump every
night from o'clock until about 10
when the building is closed.
Along each side are writing tables
where the soldier boys write to tho
folks at home. About 100 rnen can be
accommodated at one time. In the cen
ter of the floor are low benches on
which the men sit while nentertain-
ment or religious service is on. A long
table holds newspapers from PennsyI-
vania including the Times and Repnb-
lican, and magazines of all kinds AT
the entrance is a large bookcase, filled
with some Of the latest fiction and
standard works.
At the other end of the building is
a good-sized stage, with dressing rooms
on either side. A piano stands on the
platform and here the speakers and
singers, instrumentalists, religious
workers and others stand while APP
pearing before the audience. The build
ing holds about 500 to 1000 men and ]

Here is where / am having the time
of my life when not on duty. Every
night, there is some kind of a program
and the fellows don't have to go out
of camp for diversion. We have all we
want right near our tents-and it does
not cost us one cent. Everything tho
Y. M. G. A. does is free and I have
often wondered who paid for it all

lonesome in camp if he'll take a6yan-
tage of the 4. NJ. G. A.. for it is always
full of good cheer, and the secretaries
are always ready with a smile and the
glad hand. The programs are full of
surprises. One night we may hear a
professional quartet or Mel Trotter,
or Dir. Trawiclx, on Sex Hygiene" or
some folks from Augusta, who come
up every week to entertain the men in
the x. M, G. A. buildings.
Every Monday and Thursday nights
we have free movies. Until two weeks
