MAKES SUGGESTIONS
 TO CITY COUNCIL
April 22, 1917. To the Honorable City Council.


 Gentlemen:
 Just at this time, e,when our couii- try is at war. when the world is facing a food shortage, and when every di- vision of our Government from the President down to the City Officials are urging and warning the farm CTS to put forth every effort to raise and conserve food, when those who live in the cities and towns are be- ing urged to plant gardens, and when it is being urged that even the chil- dren of tender years be put to pro- ducing food stuff, all this as pat riotic duty, because of our country's extremity, l believe it proper to re- mind you that you have within the city limits something like two hundred acres of the finest pasture land in Hot Spring county, going to waste. That the people in that part of your city are being compelled to utilize their garden spots for cow lots, be- cause of a stock law, of which they do not approve and which serves no good purpose other than to enable few people to have flowers without a yard fence, while this pasture would feed near hundred cattle and hogs through the summer and is now ser ving no one except the migratory horse traders and Gipsy who are at racted from all parts of the state by it. Now gentlemen there are three ways that this land can be utilized, first repeal your stock law, second re- fuse to have it inforced in that part of the town and then get permission of the owners and have the city to fence it and rent it as pasture until it is reimbursed
 Gentlemen will you do one of these things or does your patriotic duty in this crisis consist in giving advice to others.

AGAIN KIRBY
 OPPOSES THE PRESIDENT

Little Rock, April 27-Again United States Senator Wm. F. Kirby opposed to President Woodrow Wilson on mat ters pertaining to the war policy of the United States, and he announces his intention to vote against selective con- scription. The announcement was made in answer to request from the Arkansas Association of Fire Insur- ance Agents, that he stand behind President Wilson in the present crisis.
 Senator Kirby answered the mes sage as follows: Message received, can see no justice in requiring only boy from 19 to 25 years of age conscripted for the army and all others excused from the service, and no necessity ex- ists for eonscription at all silence it is impossible to equip the number of troops raised before August first, giv- ing them ample time to volunteer upon call of the President. This provision is unfair, unjust, unDemocratic, un- American and unnecessary and I shall Oppose it." Wm. F. Kirby.
 The message sent to Senator Kirby was:" Respectfully urge you to sup port pending bill for selective con scription, and in doing so believe we reflect majority opinion of the state. ;" Arkansas Association of Insurance Agents.

| NEVER DID

Did you ever hear of a card playing, theatre-going, dancing church member approaching sinner and urging him or her to become Christian? Once a Minister was talking to man about becoming a Christian, and he started to tell him that his wife was anxious about his soul. The man stopped the minister before he had finished his sentence and said: Preacher, have good wife; we are happy to- gether; I have no criticism against her as a wife--none whatever. But she plays cards, dances, and gives much time to clubs. I do not believe Chris tian will do these things. With all due respect to my wife can say her religion is no inducement to me to be- come q Christian" (Ark., Methodist.)
 Many wife is standing between her husband and the kingdom. Wo- man you had better throw away or burn up that internal deck of cards and turn to the reading your Bible. And instead of dance hall and club room, turn to your Church, Sunday School and prayer meeting.
 Sometimes they wonder why John or Jim never go to Church? l stated the reason, and also the cure try it.
 put away these false gods and turn to the true God and say to hubby. Come on with me, let us go into the house of the Lord."
 The time has come and now is, when the churches of Malvern must draw the line on d-playing and dancing. Young people hear the pleading of your pastor, either give up these things or giveup the Church. Do not disgrace the church, the church has never done you any harm lbut is your very best friend. u. ". Harrell. Pastor of the Meth odist Church.
