". THOSE ON nU!TY AT nOME ARE TO GET
 SILVER CHEVRONS

Washington, Dec. 12-Officers and men of the army who failed to reach the fighting front by reason of the duties imposed upon them in this country will not be denied recogni- tiOn of their service in the winning of the war. f'ei't ep
 / By direction of President Wilson, as commander in chief of the army. Gen. eral March, chief of staff, today issued an order that hereafter such men shall be entitled to wear a silver chevron similar to the gold one authorized for service overseas.
 "The President said the order, "de- sires, on behalf of the nation to ex- press his appreciation of the vitually essential and self-sacrificing service given by officers and men whom mili- tary necessity has held and is holding for performance of duties outside the theatre of active operations. Their con- tributions to military success is no less than that of those who have had opportunity for service at the front On them developed the creation of the great armies of the nation and their supply with the equipment and stores indispensable to military operations.
 Without them the troops abroad could have accomplished nothing. In many instances their retention on home duty has been due to their ex- ceptional military and administrative efficiency. They have been in readi- ness for any service which the inter- ests of the government required them to nprfOrm and have hean chaarflI1 and without thought of self when giv- en duties not in accord with their own desires. The country holds in grateful appreciation the fundamental service they have rendered in winning the war"
 The officers and men will be entitled to wear one silver chevron for each six months service

Fl. SCOTT SORGHUM
 PANT GUARANTEED
Committees Getting Busy and Guar. antced Acreage Will be Pushed To A Finish.

The Chamber of Commerce is goins
 right after the big industrial plant
 offered Pine Bluff by the -Ft. Scot
 Syrup company. The most gratifying
 indications for the successful land.
 ing of this industrial plum is the fact | the farmers are becoming interested Forty prominent farmers met with the | Chamber of Commerce Wednesday and considered the matter. Following the meeting the guests were entertain ed at luncheon by the chamber, at which much enthusiasm was manifest ed for securing this enterprise and guaranteeing the required acreage. They now realize the advantages to come from a plant of this descriptioni The products of which will be used in this plant can be produced on the poorest land in cultivation, and the revenues derived will be largely vel vet.
 Secretary Bloom of the Chamber of Commerce stated yesterday that he was more encouraged now than ever. That the proposition is a go I feel practically certain. There has been already pledged 1400 acres, 400 acres having been secured today in addition to the 1000, and l feel sure the re- mainder of the required 5000 will be pledged in the time designated.
 SMessrs. w. M. Johpson, field sup erintendent, and J. A. Richardson, en- gineer of the company, who have been in Pine Bluff for the past two weeks, have consented to remain here until Wednesday of next week, at which time if the acreage is not pledged they will leave Pine Bluff, and the in- dustrial enterprise will be lost to us. But l don't feel that 1t is lost. These gentlemen will go out with two com mittees and explain the matter to Jef- ferson county farmers during the re- mainder of the time they are here, and l feel that the matter will be closed up without a hitch. But these pledges must positively be in by Wednesday. Messrs. Johnson and Richardson in- tended to leave tomorrow, but have been induced to extend their stay few days longer.
 Committees Out Today.
 1.-TWO committees will go out today for the purpose of securing the addi- tional acreage required. One will go into the territory in the vicinity of Grady, and the other will visit Sherill and Tucker, communities. We expect to secure pledges for at least 800 acres by these two committees. Those who will go to Grady are: Messrs. T. l.. Brummitt, T. F Gadberry, and Law renee Dixon. Mr. Johnson will accom- pany this committee.
 Those who will go to Sherill and Tucker are Col. J. w. Gibson and ny- self. MT. Richardson will accompany us.
 Besides these other committees will visit other places Saturday and the days of next week before the expira-- tion. of the limited time. Saturday committee will visit Redfield, and an other will go to Rison but the person mel of these have not been named. But they expect to bring back the pledges

Newspaper Work Held Essential BY

hington.-General Crowder,
provost marshal, authorizes the state
ment that no order has been issued
by him or his Office placing news
paper workers in the "non-produc-
tive" classes under the work-or-fight
order.
The question was raised in a New
York newspaper, which stated that
all it's printers of draft age had been
notified to seek other employment or
be called into the army.
At General Crowder's Office it was
stated there have been no modifica-
tions of the recent work-or-fght or
der and that newspaper workers
have never been considered as being
engaged in non-essential work and
that there is no intention of so de-
claring them now.--Publishers

Soldiers in France Need More Books.
The DEBORAH Public Library has
received request from the Ameri-
can Library Associations Head
quarters in Washington for more
books from this community for the
men overseas.
The appeal from Washington
states that new novels and good
western stories, whether new or old,
are most needed. Books by Zane
Grey, Rex Beach, Jack London,
Ralph Common, Owen Wister and o.
Henry are very popular. The Public
Library announces that it will re-
ceive and forward all suitable books
that are turned in. 1t urges the
friends of the soldiers and sailors,
many of whom have already respond
ed most generously, to give more
books.
The communication received by
the library from Washington Head
quarters states that over 100000
books have been sent overseas.
The supply is nearly exhausted, and
several hundred thousand more will
be needed soon by the six dispatch
Offices which are now shipping books
to France. The books are packed at
these dispatch offices in strong
cases, so built that they serve as a
bookcase.
They go on the decks Of trans
ports, in cargo vessels and in naval
vessels. Those that go on the decks
of transports are open so that the
men may have reading matter for
use on the voyage. All these books
are gathered together again, how
ever, replaced in the cases and de-
livered to the proper officials in
France.
In France, the books are distribut-
ed by an experienced librarian, re-
presenting the American Library
Association. Most of them go to
Y. M. G. A., Red Cross and Saliva
ton Army huts, hospitals and can
teens. Others go directly to chap
lains and officers.

THE MIDNIGHT AuToMoB1LIsT.
The Use of the Muffler Cut-0ut is
Unlawful. Officers Should En-
force Law.

The automobile drivers who dash
through the streets at all hours of
the night with the cut-outs open
need the attention of the police.
They are doing it in many places,
and in many other places the police
force have given them rude jolt.
The editor of the Elkader Register
says it is beyond our ability to tell
why some people delight in running
their automobiles through town at
high speed with the engine cut-outs
wide open at all hours of the day
and night.
Tired people are just sinking into
a refreshing sleep when-bang.
bang, bang come the reports like a
machine gun, and sleep is gone for
the time, while strained and rag
llged nerves protest. If thoughts
could accomplish it there would be
many reckless driver now assem-
bled in the lower regions preparing
a suitable reception for Kaiser Bill.
Thoughtlessness may be an excuse
but it Is narrow margin that may
lseparate it from criminal carless-
ness. On a sick bed in a hospital or
in home a fevered and painraeked
body is fighting for the continuance
of life. The overtaxed nerves are at
tension and every sound is blow.
Efforts at soothing the patient are
just beginning to bring the balm OF
sleep when-bang, bang, bang, some
inspired idiot thinks to have a cheap
fourth OF July celebration by listen
| ing to the undulated exhaust of his
jitney.
The use of the muller cut-out
within town limits is unlawful at
any time and our officers should en-
force this law. The punishment we
would like to give however is not
the legal one. We would like to con-
: fine the noise lover to room with a

measures for saving tonnage. There
is large supply of wine in Algeria

vent bringing 1t to France. The
minister appealed to the scientific
world and method has been dis
covered of reducing these wines to a

lsting to bring 1t back to Its previous
