Chris tmas Mail fer Americans.

The time is approaching to give thought to bringing Christmas cheer to the American soldiers and sailors abroad.
 Arrangements have been per- fected whereby the Christmas mail to the American expeditionary forces in Europe is to be delivered by Christmas morning. Without the fullest cooperation on the part of the public, it will be impossible to accomplish this result.
 The three essential respects in which the public can aid Tn assur- ing happy Christmas at the front are: Mail early, and address in .llie ently and pack securely. For this reason it is urgently requested that all persons having Christmas mail for the soldiers and sailors and civilian units attached to the army in Europe observe closely the fol- lowing directions:

STRONG FAIR 4 BIG SUCCESS.
Exhibits Demonstrated That Eastern Portion of Union County Ideal Place to Live.

The Community Fair at Strong Thursday and Friday. November l and 2, was big success and much credit is due all who helped make it, especially Mrs. w. E. Clark and Mrs. A. P. Kirby who were untiring in their efforts.
 The exhibits of farm products were numerous and varied and proved beyond doubt that this section of Union county will pro- duCe anything that will grow in the state and of good quality and size.
 The home canning, domestic science and art departments were well filled with exhibits showing that our ladies are experts ip all these lines. The educational was well supplied with exhibits but not near as many schools were repre- sented as should have been.
 The community fair idea is an excellent one and should be en- eouraged by every farmer, mer- chant, teacher and housewife in the eastern section of Union county as all who attend get new ideas that will be helpful to them and the get together spirit that is created will do much toward advancing the in- terests of this section We hope to see this fair made an annual event and grow in size each year until it will be the best in the state.
 The entire faculty of the .Huttg school and about 100 of the pupils attended the fair Friday and the following pupils were awarded prizes for work exhibited: Perritt,i st for buttonholes.
 Exie kesler. 1st for bread.
 Coral Dowls, l st for hand made doll dress.
 Cora Nash. 1st for sofa pillow.
 Helen Thompson, 1st for essay.
 Percy Moore, tied for lst for declamation.
 Fern Mccormick, 2nd for United  States map.
 Agnes Req 1an, 2nd for Arkansas map.
 In addition to above the school won the first prize of $500 for the chorus. the song being America. Miss Vivian Simmons, the domestic science teacher in the school here, was awarded first prize for machine made garment and second prize for embroidered garment.

The most difficult problem that faces the milliner is solved when she is able to produce hats that will suit her up-to-date patrons who have reached or passed middle age. EX- perience makes the matron the most exacting and discriminating of all those who demand much in the matter of becomingness in headwear, and specialists devote their time and tal- ents to meeting this demand.
 Two Of the rich and brilliant hats with which middle age will face the coming winter are shown here. At the top handsome tailored model pre- sents the tall crown and graceful, carefully managed brim lines that characterize the seasons styles. Be low, draped velvet turban provides a background for a feather wreath of wonderful coloring made of natural plumage.

No Stamp Tax on Checks.

Although the stamp taxes of the new war revenue measure are not in effect until December l. there is already much inquiry regarding this feature of the revenue meas ure, says Collector Jack Walker, in charge of the Little Rock office.
 Contrary to the belief of many inquirers. there is no tax and will be none on ordinary checks and bank drafts given in ordinary busi- ness transactions. One section of the stamp act which relates to to checks and drafts states that drafts and checks payable other wise than at sight or on demand are liable to a tax of two cents for each $1OO or fractional part there of.
 This, MT. Walker explains, re- fers to checks or drafts which are dated ahead and are in substance notes or promises to pay. Checks dated ahead of the time at which they are given are subject to the war tax.
