MINISTERS TO URGE
 LESS" DAYS HERE

Ministers of Pine Bluff will be re- ouested to urge their congregations to observe ."meatless" Tuesdays and "wheatless" Wednesdays. in order that the utmost benefit may be- obtained. Because householders have not gener- ally observed these days, Pine Bluff has shown little reduction in the de- n1and for meat and wheat. The state food administration pointed this out to w. N. Trulock, food administrator for Jefferson county, and yesterday MT. Trulock asked Dr. J. I. Norris to request the ministers to urge their congregations to abstain from eating beef, mutton or nork on Tuesdavs. and from eating white bread on Wednes- days. Dr. Norris expects the minis ters to make the plea for general ob- servance of the "meatless" Tuesdays and "wheatless" Wednesdays from their pulpits tomorrow.
 Patrons of hotels. restaurants and boardino houses which have strictly followed the food administrations ruling declare that, while they have no great objection to "doing without meat on Tuesdays, or eating brown bread on Wednesdays" their restraint will amount to little unless people who live at home also observe the days. Pine Bluff butchers are quoted as saving they sell as much meat Tues days as on other days, indicating that some householders must increase their consumption. Hotel and restaurant natrons declare all should be good enough Americans to do without meat and bread on one day of each week.

Music Kindergarten Entertains Mothers.

Mrs. B. w. Bocage, one of Pine Bluffs most talented musicians who recently instituted musical kinder garten at her home, threw open her class rooms yesterday to the mothers of her tiny pupils. It was hard to tell which were most delighted, the baby students themselves, their proud mothers, or the hostess of the after noon, who demonstrated what could be done in short while in the way of placement of voice control. A program of quaint and varied intec- est was rendered, from an accurate presentation of, the diatonlic scale to several more elaborate little nur. sery melodies, concluding with some beautiful little Christmas carols sung to the ringing of Christmas bells.

Pine Bluff, Dec 19. Dear Santa Claus:
 We children are so glad that Christ mas is almost here, because you will soon be coming to see us again. hope you will take lots of candy and good things to the little children who are starving across the ocean, and not bring us children in America as much as you usually do.
 If you will just bring me a twenty two rifle, I will be satisfied. Don't forget we are living in our new home, 1920 Laurel. We have a nice big chimney for you to come down this time, much bigger than the one on Seventh street.
 With lots of love, I am.

y gardener living near Washington

protection in the spring. With can

cheese cloth he keeps off insects. while
a glass cover will admit sunlight and
exclude cold on AN unreasonable day
in spring. Small bottomless, topless
boxes built at home serve the same
purpose.
When lettuce and other cool weather
plants are attempted in the summer
they must often be shaded from the
willing sunlight. Cheesecloth will
do this sufficiently and the homo gar
