CANADIANS HAVE QUEER IDEAS
OE RESTING.

The Forty-Cighth Highlanders and
the Mclean pipcrs were supposed TO
rest up yesterday, and the way they
rested up was a reminder Of the
trenches In France. Some Of them
went down to City Hall Square;
others TO Union and Madison
Squares, while another contingent
went 10 the British cnlistlng head

And then I'm the afternoon they
went out for "A dress parade through
the streets to the naval recruiting
quarters at Union square, with their
brass band and pipes and drums At
their head. That was fine way TO

 SAM AS PRIVATE

Fort Worth, Dec. 6.-Notwithstand- ing the fact that his income last year was $100,000, Harold L. Shamberger, oil operator, prefers to be in the serv- ice of Uncle Sam, and now is ser geant in the 51st Field Artillery at Camp Bowie.
 Shamberger is said to have the largest income of any man in Camp Bowie, including officers and enlisted men. The fact that his income was so large became known when he was being interogated by an officer of the personnel bureau.
 "I made the $1O0.O0O in the Hum- bolt field" Shamberger said. "The money didn't keep me from wanting to enlist single minute.'

REQ GROSS PLANS
 MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
Local Chapter Will Make Efforts to Secure 9,S76 New Members by
 Christmas.

(By Marion c. Taggart, chairman of publicity committee).
 Pine Bluff and Jefferson county want 9,S76 new members for the Red Cross by December "A. Nine thou sand eight hundred and seventy-six dollars would be lot of money for one or two men in this community to give, but $9,S76 is not much when pro- rated among the 10000 people of Pine Bluff and nine thousand eight hundred and seventy six dollars is still less when prorated among the generous people of Jefferson county. The Red Cross will get the desired sum in this city for their relief work. There is a tremendous work ahead for the Red Cross. The Red Cross is better equip ped than any other organization for doing this work. The Red Cross is more than an organization for the nursing of the sick and the making of bandages. The Red Cross may be called on to provide for the orphans of the killed and the families of the men who go to the front. The Red Cross will use this money for the sick and helpless of all creeds and all de- nominations, and no denominations. The Red Cross will extend its hand to Protestant, Unitarian, Jew and Cath olic. Every dollar given to Red Cross is accounted for, for the Red Cross reports to congress and it's accounts are audited by the war department. There will be 15,000,000 members of the Red Cross in America when the Christmas drive is finished. Mrs. Leo M. Andrews, chairman of the member ship committee and T. Haynes Greg ory, campaign manager for the Christ mas memberships, are now forming their plans and in few days will give to the public the result of their com bined efforts.
 Both Mrs. Andrews and Mir. Greg ory are filled with enthusiasm over the work and enthusiasm, combined with concentrated effort are the forces that make the world better place to live in and an easier place to die in. The War council has issued little book setting forth the definitely how this campaign Is to be conducted and while all details may not be carried out, yet the Christmas spirit will be a distinct feature. MT. Stowell, the chairman of the Red Cross chapter, is anxious that the entire amount be raised and by little sacrifice on the part of our people, success will crown the efforts of those most interested.
 Our people in 1917 have prospered to such an extent that they should be exceedingly grateful to the Father omnipotent. So give your dollar to the canvassers, when they call on you, in the nature of thank offering. Let it be a small hostage to the forces of good, expressive of your determina- tion to bear your part in all responsi- bilitv o$ benevolent citizenship.

take the help of all to accomplish this. And because Christmas is also festival day, the Red Cross is going to take part in camp celebrations all over the country. Probably every camp and cantonment will have Red Cross Christmas Tree, standing in front of the headquarters of the Field Director of Camp Service, who is constantly on the lookout at each encampment for things the Red Cross ought to do.
 At the top of the tree, in the place where community Christmas trees in dozens of cities have carried their great electric stars, there will be Red Cross of blazing lights That at least, is the suggestion of the Gen between them, guide all of the 5000 Chap ters.

SHOPS WILL NOT
 USE GAS AT
 PROPOSED RATE
General Manager Neff Says Coal Will Be Used as
 Fuel Entirely.
If the Arkansas Natural Gas com pany establishes the proposed raise in

If the Arkansas Natural Gas com pany establishes the proposed raise in its rates on gas, the shops of the St.. Louis Southwestern Railway com pany here will abolish every gas burn CT in operation and will use coal as 2 fuel entirely. This was the state ment made yesterday afternoon by w. N. Neff, general manager of the above railroad, at a conference with local business men and the officials of the Chamber of Commerce.
 MT. Neff stated that already two of the boiler burners at the shops had been converted into coal burners and that if no compromise can be reach ed between the officials of the gas company and the consumers, all of the gas burners will be abolished and the company will go back to the use of coal as a fuel entirely. While the gas is not used at the shops as fuel in all it's departments, still the St. Louis Southwestern Railway company is one of the largest local consumers of gas and the loss of such a customer would mean much to the gas company. Mir. Neff will leave this morning for Little Rock, where he will consult with the officials of the gas company at that place and will endeavor to come to some agreement with them in re- gard to reduction of the proposed rates.
 The matter of improving the street crossing along the Cotton Belt lines in this city was discussed at the con- ference but MT. Neff stated that just at this time nothing could be done toward this end, as the War Priority board would not even let the railroads use cars for the hauling of material for improvement of their own prop erty, if there is government material to be moved. However, he stated that he would take this matter up some- time within the near future.
 In regard to the mauling of gravel for Road Improvement districts Nos. 15 and 21, Mir. Neff stated that there is nothing he can do just at this time, due to the fact that this road is put ting every possible car into govern ment service but that if he could find any cars that are not in use he will place them at the disposal of the con- missioners at once. t"'M.
 MT. Neff will make tour over his lines and as soon as he returns will be the guest of the Chamber of Com ynerce at luncheon.
