EXCELLENT WORK!
LET IT CONTINUE

The people of Pine Bluff and JEFF
ferson county did magnificently in
subscribing to the Liberty liam. Up
to last night 1000 persons had sub
scribed to $5O6,350 of the bonds. That's
the spirit that will conquer Prussian
militarism. The kaiser cannot fight
much longer against a people who
will pour out their men and money
as Jefferson is doing-as the United
States is doing.
Now, people, we ask you to do a
little bit more. The more than half
million you have subscribed is short
by about 100000 of the amount ex-
pected of Jefferson. This is practi-
cally the last day Of the campaign.
Won't you come up to the mark set,
that the news can go forth TO the
nation that Jefferson is one Southern
county that Is doing it's part as we'll
as any county in the country, and
doing it with less hu-dub than many
of the others? We believe you will
And another thing: Although JEFF
ferson and Pine Bluff have already
sent more than 100 men to the differ
ent departments of the army, we want
you to help in recruiting a complete
company for the national guard.
We've got the men who have the
spirit and courage. Help show them
their duty-not by harsh means, but
by pointing out the honor it Is for
one to respond to his country's call.
Ask them not to wait for conscription.
It is no dishonor to be conscripted,
but the world loves the volunteer.
Let's go to it, and raise this COM
pany, so Pine Bluff will have repre-
sentation as a city, along with Lit
tie Rock, Fort Smith, Helena, Cam
den, Stuttgart, and smaller towns
which already have sent out COM
panies or are far ahead OF Pine Bluff
in recruiting units for the guard.

Jefferson is Nearing the Goal,
of Liberty Loan Subscriptions
Lacks Only $4,000 of subscribng For Full Amount of
Bonds Allotted and Confident This Amount
Will Be Obtained Today.

With just about IS working hours
remaining in which subscriptions to
the Liberty loan of $2,00O,000,OO0 can
be received, Pine Bluff and Jefferson
county have to subscribe about $4,000
more, in order for this county to
reach the minimum allotment ten
tatively fixed by the men at the head
of the movement.
When the local banks closed yester-
day afternoon, it was announced that
approximately 1000 persons had sub
scribed for bonds to the value of $685.
$50. 1t was known that there were
but these had not been officially re-
ported to any of the banks, hence were
not included.
Beginning last night, an intensive
campaign will be conducted until noon
tomorrow, in the effort not only to
receive the $4,000 subscriptions
needed to reach the total allotted, but
to go beyond the mark if possible.

ceived the following gratifying tele-
gram from Mr.. Compton:
"Splendid work. We congratulate
the people of Jefferson county on the

The utmost confidence was ex-
pressed last night that the people OF
Pine Bluff and Jefferson county will
not fall short of the mark set for them

LITTLE ROCK GIRL
NAMED SUCCESSOR
Miss Helen Riddick Selected to Serve
as Secretary-ActiOn Taken Some
Weeks Ago, But Withheld
Until Successor Found.

Announcement was made last night
that Miss Julia Houston has resigned
as secretary of the Pine Bluff Associ-
ated Charities, and that Miss Helen
Riddick of Little Rock has been
appointed to the position.
The change will be effective Mon
day next, although Miss Riddick is eX-
pected to be in Pine Bluff today, ar
ranging to take over her new duties.
The announcement of the change
followed acalled meeting of the board
of directors of the Associated Chart
ties, at which the decision was reached
that there exists no longer any rea-
son to withhold the announcement.
Miss HOuston's resignation was
handed the board the latter part of
April, and explained the cause for her
desire to make the change. The resig-
nation read as follows:
II hereby tender, with great regret,
my resignation as secretary Of the
Associated Charities, same to take eff
feet when my successor shall have
been named and shall be ready to
enter upon the duties of the office.
Until that time l ask leave to put a
substitute in the office to work in my
place, retaining for myself, however,
a general supervision over the work
of the office, until the advent Of my
successor.
"This action of mine is necessitated
by the fact that the work of the Juve-
nile court has been for some time SO
heavy that I have been totally unable
to do it justice while keeping up the
still heavier work of the Charities.
The truth is that the two positions
have outgrown the handling of one
person and it is not doing justice to
either and to myself to try to re-
tain them both. The reason that I
wish to make the change as soon as
possible and before the end of the cur
rent fiscal year is that I have lately
been in i'll health and feel that must
tighten my work Immediately for the
sake of my own health.
ut is with the deepest feeling Of
regret and real sorrow that I am
sevcring connection with the organi-
zation I have striven so hard to up
hold and which is so very near my
heart. Permit me to express my deep
appreciation to the officers and board
Of directors for their unfailing kind
ness to me, and splendid cooperation.
Let me say also that / will never
