An old but sure test of the
freshness of eggs is TO lay them
in a pan of water. If strictly
fresh, the egg will lie on its side
on the bottom. When just a few

PULL TOGETHER'
 CAMPAIGN URGED

At the last meeting of Malvern Chamber of Commerce, proposed to give my views and plans in regards to a pull together campaign.
 First, to make the success that we would naturally expect is to take the key to our organization, "We Pull Together What does it mean? 1t means to begin at home, build a foundation, give home the benefit of the doubt This will not only en- courage us in one way, but in dozens of ways, for a greater business, of higher standard requirnents. When we have done this, we are building foundations for the idle money, the keen investor, more labor which would be the means of bringing our town and country to a higher pitch of progress.
 If one germ will effect the working system of a body, what will two or more germs do? What money we have at home will effect us materially in one way or another, according to the germ working system of our body Let's get the germs out. Let's save the untold waste of our money and home products to build for the present investor, as well as for the new in- vestor, of the other natural resources. Let's pull together and then we will be able to get together in better working unit for Malvern and Hot Spring county.
 Everybody has an influence with someone, somewhere, sometime. This influence is best where it is com pounded. It can be made to build and save the world. As a working body, let us publicly make known the great achievements of home progress first. This can be done by advertise ment through our papers, circulars rally entertainments with display o1

WANT MORE MEN
 FOR THE NAVY
PRESIDENT SIGNS ORDER DI- RECTING RECRUITING TO WAR STRENGTH, 87,0OO. NEWS PAPERS ARE ASKED TO AID IN SECURING MORE MEN.

Washington, March 26.-The Presi- dent last night signed an executive order directing that the authorized en- listed strength of the navy be increas- ed to eighty-seven thousand. He was authorized by congress, in case of emergency, to direct such increase in enlistment. New ships and ships in reserve are being fully commissioned as rapidly as possible and the need is imperative for larger enlistment to man them. There has been. net increase of over six thousand five hundred in enlistment since congress recently authorized an increase, but many more are needed and needed now.
 The following is the executive order bringing the navy up to war strength:
 By virtue of the authority vested in the president by the act of Con- gress approved August 29, 1916, en- titled An act making appropriations for the naval service for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1917, and for other purposes it is hereby directed that the authorized enlisted strength of the navy be increased to 87,000 men. (Signed) Woodrow Wilson,
 The navy must enroll immediately approximately 10000 men to reach the required strength. Secretary Daniels supplemented it tonight with personal telegrams to newspaper editors all over the country, urging them to aid the department to obtain the men.
 This paper received telegram early this morning from Secretary Daniel, of the Navy, urging our CO., operation in assisting in bringing the matter before the public.
 The telegram received by the Record, in regard to the matter, after stating that the order had been signed by the President, said:
 Twill you not emphasize this need by giving. special prominence Monday on the first page of your paper, to the presidents order and also by making an editorial appeal for new recruits for the navy.
 "The navy offers exceptional ad- vantages to young men of stuff and ambition to serve in the first line for national defense in this emergency you have the opportunity and the privilege of performing this public service and am confidently appealing to you for your cordial and helpful co-oneration. Joseph Daniels" /"

URGES WOMEN TO
 PAY POLL TAX


 To the women of Malvern and Hot Spring county:
 The members of the legislative assembly, believing in your interest in public affairs and possibly with a desire to test that interest, have given the women of Arkansas the privilege of voting in all primaries held in the state after June 7th next.
 To take advantage of this privilege and to prove to those gentlemen who say that "women don't want to vote" that the contrary is true, it is neces- sary to have a poll tax receipt, which may be had at the Sheriff's office at Malvern for a limited time only" Perhaps that will stimulate your bargain hunting instincts. We have had that same bargain hunting in stinct developed by the need to make s'the gude mon's's wage go as far as possible in providing for our house. hold and perhaps you are asking, "Is this privilege of voting worth the 4 sx,1- l. T, more than that just to be taken out of the company of Infants, idiots, in- sane and criminals and adjudged worthy and capable of expressing your opinions where they will do the most good-at the bollot box. True 1t is a very limited suffrage-but full suff- rage is coming-and, do let us make the best use of what we have.
 It is worth the dollar just to feel that you "belong", that you are a part of this great Commonwealth, even if be only minor part. The boy, at 21, is proud of the fact that he is now voter Some of us are nearly forty and some of us are older but political ly, we have just "come of age" and if you want to realize it, pay your poll tax and get your receipt. Do it now, before April 10th. Let us know who the public spirited women of Hot Spring county are that we may con- suit together and prepare to use wise ly and we'll this privilege given us and the greater one of full suffrage which is coming sooner or later to Arkansas.
 In the words of the itinerant ped dler ssThis is being offered for the first time to the women of Arkansas and many do not know that the poll tax goes to the school fund. So this money is not thrown away at any rate.

BIG TENT ERECTED
 FOR MEETING

The big tent, which has been promised for the Revival meeting at the Methodist church, is being erected today, and will be ready for tonight s meeting.
 Rev. Mr. May at the morning ser vice Sunday spoke from the 1st chap ter and Fist verse of Mathew. In beautiful language, he told the Christ mas story of Jesus Birth. He pietur- ed Christ as a vicarious sufferer of all the world. We are reconciled to God through Jesus Christ, His Son." he said, The has picked men from the lowest depths of sin" In his illustra- ton, of this, the preacher told of the conversion of Billy Sunday. How he was picked from crowd of drunken young men, and taken to a meeting of the Salvation Army, and converted. He told of some of the wonderful work of this noted evangelist. He pleaded with his hearers, to give Christ a chance, and be saved. His appeal was very touching, and the hearts of his hearers, were. moved, both saved and unsaved Many re- sponded to the call for prayer.
 The choir of more than 50 voices rendered splendid misic. "The Rugged Cross," solo by Mr. Lifsey, was beautifully rendered.
 The night service was proceeded by thirty minute song service, which closed with a solo by Miss Clara Cooper, "You Must Do Something To- night" Miss Cooper showed rare talent in her rendention of this beautiful song.
 The subject selected by the minister for the night service was taken from the 1st verse, 29th chapter, of Pro- verbs, "He, Who Being Often Re- proved, and Hardenth His Neck, Shall Suddenly be Destroyed.o The minis ter proved by the audience that few people are ever converted between the ages of 40 and 50, not many between the ages of 21 and 40, and majority before the age of 21. His subject was handled in his usual earnest manner, and at the close quite a number went to the alter for prayer.
 Cottage Prayer meetings are being held this afternoon, but no afternoon meeting is being held but they will be resumed after today.
 Tonight, the service will be trans ferred to the tent. Song service be- gins promptly at 7:30.
 The Woman's meeting at the Presbyterian church Sunday after noon was largely attended. Mrs. J. F. Williams conducted the services in which many of our most consecrated women took part. The program was most interesting and helpful. "Con- secration" was the subject of study.

The timidest little Mink was very
timid indeed. She was so timid that

take delight in frightening her every
