National trophies ara national as
sets; they are witnesses of past va
lor and assurances Of valor to come.
Who is it that does not regard
Washington's sword with a thrill of
reverence? Whose pulse is not
quickened at sight Of the pen that
signed the Declaration of American
independence? And whose eyes
have remained dry when they first
beheld the venerable Liberty Bell?
Time hallows these things and
gives them touch Of romance, rose
hued and threaded with gold.
The cabinet of the nation is crowd
ed with such treasures out o. the
past, and now another is to be added
to the list--the brass shell of the
first shot fired by America in this
great war for world-freedom. I'm
der the impulse of the gunner's hand
the leaden missile took its kissing
course across No Mans Land,
straight at the heart of Prussian des-
potism. 1t was the war call Of our
country out in the arena for free
dom. Ard the brass case that held
the leaden messenger became from
that moment a trophy to be treasur-
ed through the ages.
Suppose we had the first bullet

that was fired at Lexington. would
we not go down on our knees in an
obeisance of reverence while visions
of a victorious Liberty rose before
us?
And in. the years to come-far
down the dim vista of the future,
when the ineXtinguishable torch of
freedom burns in the silver SCIENCES
of the nations and the chalice OF the
world is filled with the nectar of
peace-il those DAYS will not the de
scendants Of the generations Of to-
day paw like homage to the first
shell that proclaimed us co-champ-
ions with out allies in this titanic
struggle against the degradation OF
despotiSm?
Already the shell has vivid claim
on our interest. hold on our imaEi-
nations that will grow stronger and
more binding with the flying years,
1t is a fit companion for all the
splendid trophies that tell anew our
national story to each rising genera
tion.
The sending of that shell back to
America is no light matter; rather
does it take on the semblance of n
national ceremony.-Commercial APP

Women To The Polls
j. W. Taylor, Pres.

The late legislature passed a bill
permitting women to vote in Ar
kansas, which measure received
the hearty approval of Gov Brough.
The measure will not become ef-
fective for 90 days after its ap-
proval by the governor if no refer
endum Is asked on the bill. If Pc
titions for referendum are filed
the measure will be up to a vote of
the people.
The suffrage measure provides
that women shall vote only in pri.
mary elections upon payment of a
poll tax, The bill had a rou.ine
majority in the Legislature, indicat-
Ing the popularity Of suffrage with
the solons at least.
In the Arkansas primaries next
year we may confidently expect to
see many of the wives, mothers,
sisters and sweethearts of the coun-
try vending their way to the poll
ing places to assist in saving the
country. That will be a strange
sight, lis true, and the politicians

Care of Piano KEYS.

To keep piano keys white, dampen a
piece Of muslin with alcohol and rub
them. If it is frequently applied the
keys will want no other treatment.
If already begun to turn yellow try
rubbing them with a piece of cotton
flannel wet with cologne water. Even
old and discolored ivory may be reju-
vcnated. An acid, applied repeatedly
will usually restore the keys to their
original Wilderness. Cotton flannel
cloths wet with a saturated solution OF
oxalic acid and water and laid upon
the keys will remove all stains. Care
should always be taken in the use of
such a bleacher as this that it does not
touch anything from which the color
is not to be removed.

TO RAISE FUND FOR
SELECTIVE SOLDIERS
Stevens County Will Contribute %1O
For Every Soldier Sent to
Camp Dodge

Major H. A. Meyer, of the 352nd
infantry, now in training at Camp
Dodge, Iowa, and to which regiment
Stevens and surrounding counties
belong, has asked P. L. Spooner of
Morris, for his assistance as captain
of the Home Guard in raising a fund
to provide the extra comforts needed
by our soldiers, that so far they have
been unable to procure, and which
will not be provided by the govern
ment. After the drill Monday night
the members Of the Home Guard
here will discuss methods by which
this fund can be raised.
Major Meyer has assured Mr..
Spooner that the remaining 81 Stew
ems county boys that will be sent to
furnish the allotted quota of 60 men
for the first selective draft will be
enrolled in the 352 infantry, and
therefore he asks that the amount
to be raised by this county will be
$500 or $40 for each soldier. Major
Meyer has appointed Mr.. Spooner
treasurer of this county to apportion
the amounts to be raised by each
| township and village and to receive
the contributions.
"The government furnishes every
thing a soldier actually needs for his
welfare" writes Major Meyer, "but
it does not furnish certain articles

azines, papers, monographs, check

ball equipment Just now the gov
eminent allows 41.97 cents per day
to feed each soldier. While this is
some food necessary to keep in good
condition physically, it will not pro
vide any extras such as ice cream
cake, jam, butter, etc.

such things are bought from a com
pany fund. A company builds up such
a fund from the operation of a barber
shop, from it's share of the profit Of
the regimental exchange, (Canteen)
or receipts from the regimental banC
and other sources. Our regiment
however, has just been organized
Not only does it lack the equipment
accumulated by the older regiments
but at present it is without thu
sources of income from which it may
be provided Later the fund will ge
the money through the regular chan
nels but to get them started, we cal
only call on the people back home.
