Jockey c. Borel restraining him from
the early pace, but when called upon
turning into the stretch he responded
gamely and overlook his field one by
one.

Prince of Como; second race, James T.
Clark; third race, Roamer; fourth
race, Chambers; fifth race, Omar

a continuance of cold weather as the
present month has shown. There has
been an almost entire absence Of SUM-

 Available in 1918.

Washington, Jan. 29.-The federal appropriation for the fiscal year end ing June 30, 1918, of $10,000,000 to aid the states in the construction of rural post roads has now been apportioned among the several sta'es by the sec retary of agriculture in accordance with the trems of the federal aid road act. Before making the apportion- menh the secretary, in accordance with the provisions of the act, deduct ed 3 per cent of the appropriation, or $3OO,O00, to meet the cost of admin lstering the act. The remaining $9 100000 has been divided among the states as the act prescribes-one-th third in the ratio of area, one-third in the ratio of population, and one-third in the ratio of mileage of rural delivery routes and star routes.

EVERYWHERE IN COUNTY PEOI'LE
 THINK THRIFT
Observance of Thrift Day General in Pine Bluff and
 Jefferson County.

Pine Bluff merchants are co-operat- ing in the observance of Thrift Day by offering a number of special bar gains today; goods at prices which make their purchase today economical, even if they are not needed just at this time.
 Tn the schools of tho city and county exercises were held yesterday. when the real aim of the thrift campaign, the meaning of thrift and the benefits to accrue were impressed upon thou sands of young people. In the churches tomorrow the subject will be discussed, and thoughts of the adults turned to economy and efficiency.
 All leaders arc cooperating in the movement to make thrift popular, as well as sensible, and it will not be long before the young people of jef- ferson county will think more of the girl or the hoy who spends sparingly than of the Gnc who blows in' all his money and then tries to make a "touch.'
 miserliness is wrong. and that's one thing being corrected by the thrift campaign and by the talks and eXer- cises on observanceS of Thrift Day.
 Pine Bluff, Jefferson county, Arkan- sas and the United States will be bet ter in every way when the people be- come more thrifty. Because the prac- tice of thrift means better morals better health, better work. better products and better, happier homes.
