WANTS THIS TO BE
 A RED GROSS XMAS
Subscription Flags to Be Given and Candles Burned Christmas
 Eve..<
(By MARION c. TAGGART.)

(By MARION c. TAGGART.)
 At conference held at the Hotel Marion, Little Rock, Monday, which was attended by many of the chair men of the different Red Cross chap ters throughout the state it was decid- ed that a nation wide membership drive would be made beginning De- cember 17, and to continue until Christmas eve.
 J. B. Dickefnson, leader in the Red Cross work in Little Rock presided and the principal speakers were Geo. w. Simmons, president of the Sim mons Hardware company of St. Louis; |F. l.. Johnson of the St. Louis Loan & Trust company, and Mrs. Morgan, also of St. Louis. MT. Simmons made a strong appeal for the Red Cross as- sociation, told in part what the Red Cross had done and was doing, re- viewed the work of the Society of America, Belgium and Italy and told what was in line for the people of America to do to win the war. He stated that Red Cross membership should be made as universal as citi- zenship. We want 15,000,000 mem bers by ChrIstmas," he said. We have chosen Christmas as the date be- cause the Christmas spirit and the spirit of the Red Cross are the same. Make it a Red Cross Christmas. All new members and all members who re- new their subscriptions now will be known as Christmas Members
 MT. Johnson urged the chairmen present to begin preparing thoroughly for this drive in their respective vicin- ities, not only in the towns, but also in the rural districts "for the civilians at home will win the war, but until the people realize that the final victory will be postponed" He said this is our first Christmas in the world war and the people of. America should be thinking of service and torn, bleeding Europe, rather than frivolity and fes- tivities. MT. Johnson exhibited 8nd the Christmas flag, gotten out by the Red Cross, which will be

 Who is the laborerf Any man who honestly works, no matter what his task. We are all laboring men If we amount to anything.
 But the day laborer, the man who tolls with his hands, for a days wage, he is the man above all others who should strive to lay aside little from his earnings, as saving ac- count at the bank. No matter how small the saving, it will be given as careful attention at our bank as our largest accounts. for the little savings of the poor man means as much and more to him than the big accounts of the well-to-do. Many laboring men have established ac- counts at our bank and we are es- pecially proud of the confidence of these men.

"A manufacturing jeweler was sur
prised to learn that his plant, with
a few changes, could turn out peri

that his machines were adapted
to the production of cartridge clips
for rifles and machine guns; phono-

KEEPING THE CITY ANCIENT
Rothenburg, Germany, Requires That
New Buildings Shall Be Built
in Old Style.

There is less sameness, more per-
sonality, to be found among the differ
ent cities of the German empire than
In any other great modern state.
Often you can travel few miles from
one city to another and it is as if you
had crossed an international boundary
and stepped into new land. This
fact is due in large part to the ret
that German unity came so late. Many
of these same little cities were indie
pendent and autonomous for as many
centuries as they have. been parts Of
the German empire for decades. They
have built up a tiny nationalism pc
culiar to themselves, fiavoring their
Germanism with a spice that is all
their own.
Such city above all others is Roth
enburg, little red Rothenburg, with its
trim walls and towers, it's air Of an
cient sleepiness carefully preserved, its
10000 good burghers, who are Rothen-
enburgers before all else, says the Ma
tional Geographic Magazine. Almost
every German cherishes a friendly af-
lection for Rothenburg; it is such
homely, comfortable place, with a
neatness and a miniature tessellated
beauty that it is dear to the German
heart.
Rothenburg is a city almost every
house of which is quaint and interest
ing. Most of the houses are centuries
old, and when one has to be replaced
municipal regulations ordain that 1t
shall be replaced with one that is built
In ancient style, and blends harmoni-
ously with the whole. The fine disci-
pine the burghers of Rothenburg
lay upon themselves out of their own
artistic sense of the fitness of things,
rather than as a bait for the tourists,
for as a matter Of fact, few tourists
visit Rothenburg.

Sugar for the Babies.

AS sidelight upon the economic
suffering caused by the sugar order in
the old country, many babies, say the
medical officer Of health at Luton, Bed
fordshire, were suffering from the lack
Of that fattening Ingredient. The in
ability of the mothers in poor circum-
stances to make purchases of a char
acter to procure ten-pound parcel of
sugar has suggested to the officer re-
ferred to that the council should pur-
chase large quantities of sugar and
sell them to such mothers through
baby clinics. The suggestion has been
put into effect and proved the solution
Of problem that was assuming seri-
