Music ChaSss The Blues.

In thinking Of the helpfulness of
music there is frequent neglect IN
not dwelling upon the power of mus
C to counterfeit what is commonly
called vthe blues" II is doubtful
if any other phase of music has been
a greater boon to humanity, than its
ability to drive away "the blues"
The power to counteract also be-
comes the power to prevent. If any
member OF the family gets down in
the mouth over his or her work, or
the cares OF life, or the peculiar sit
uations that confront one periodical
ly tending to depression, then the
prescription is music-and lots OF 1t.
If one desires to guard against
such feelings the sure way is 10 en-.
courage the opposite feelings, Joy
BUSINESS, and good will. Then toe
the prescription Is moro music.

TEACHERS MUST SERVE
WAR SAVINGS SOCIETIES AMONG
PUPILS A DUTY.
Delay in Organizing Children To Help
Bear Burdens of War Helps No
body But the Enemy.

Every school teacher in the land
is commissioned to organize a War
Savings Society among pupils.
1t is an honor, distinction and priv.
ilege, all combined in one, and few.
indeed, will fail to seize this oppor.
tunity to give expression to their pa
triotism and love of country.
Thousands of school War Savings
Societies have already been formed.
Thousands more must yet be organ
lied, and the spirit Of America" trans.
lated into effective service by school
children to help win the war.
The time is past when any public
body, old or young, can longer ignore
the call. School children have right
to bear their own part in the great
world struggle and every schoolroom
must be made into real fighting unit
for thrift, with every one saving
spent it before.
The school children of America are
mobilizing Hear the tramp, tramp,
tramp of twenty million school chill.
dren-every one of them a pledged
War Saver in the service of his coun-
try. Eager faces, looking up in con-
fidence and faith to the country which
gave them birth, saving their nickels
and dimes and changing them,
through Thrift Stamps, into mighty
deeds Of valOr on the field of action
what wonderful picture of true de-
mocracy!
If any school teacher has not yet
organized a schoolroom War Savings
Society-has not yet caught the spirit
ito have a part" in the great war,
now is the time to "right-about-face
and lead the charge from the trenches
of Thrift. Delay in organizing these
War Savings Societies helps no one
but the enemy.
County chairmen should make sure
that every school teacher is alive to
the situation.
He should follow up, check up, until
he knows that not schoolroOm in his
| county-rural or city-is missing from

Camp Pike Notes.

Perhaps the most interesting place just now at Camp Pike is the receiving station where the new draft men receive their issue of supplies and clothing. Immediate ly upon arrival. they go to the sta- tion and receive big blue bag which contains their blankets, tow els, mess, kit, hair brush, tooth brush, comb, soap, etc, and are then assigned to one of the casual company barracks until permanent ly located. This issue of supplies IS made before the medical exami- nation and if the recruit is rejected Uncle Sam makes him a present of the comb, brushes and soap as a partial restitution for the loss of time. Anyhow, no one has any use for second hand articles of this nature.
 Later, after his period of con- finement in quartars during quan- antine, the newcomer again finds his way back to the same building for his issue of clothing. As the line files down through the alley way between the great stacks of clothing, each size in a separate pile, keen-eyed little sergeant sizes up the man and piles the out fit in the outstretched arms. The record for quitting the men is something less than one a minute. To be fair about this matter. it might be well to add that the offic- CTS are prouder of the record than some of the men who get clothes that are too large or too small. But the average of misfits is small in comparition with the number of men outftted each day. Most of the men comp'ain at first that their shoes are too large but after they wear them few weeks

Surplus Flour to De Returned.

To the People of Union County:
 Hamp Williams, food administra- tor of the state of Arkansas. has directed and ordered that your food administrator for this county re- quest each individual householder or purchaser of flour to return any surplus flour which may have been purchased in the past to the mer- chant from whom said individual purchased said four. Each indi- vidual is considered to have sur plus of flour on hand who live in a rural community and has more than 48 pounds of flour on hand, unless said flour came in a wooden barrel and said barrel has been opened; and each individual living in an urban community, who has on hand more than 24 pounds of four, unless in wood barrel and the same is opened.
 l am directed to inform the peo- pie that anyone whosssviolates this ruling is considered a hoarder of flour and will be subject to the pen alties of the law provided in such instances; that the law will be strictly, fairly and impartially en- forced against anyone, whenever he or she may be.
 This appeal is directed to the pa triotsm of the people of Union county, and it is expected by the government of the people that each individual consider it his or her duty to mould public opinion in each community, thereby enforc- ing this rule and law by public opin- ion, rather than by causing the De- partment of Justice the expense and time of enforcing this law. In the event public opinion fails to handle any case in any community, please notify your food administra- tor and said information will be promptly given to the Department of Justice of your Federal govern ment.
