and The great crowd cheered with de-
light. Peggy, swaying in her throne
high up on the elephants back,
thrilled with excitement. She telt
like an oriental princess straight out

AT first the lurching walk of the
elephant was very unpleasant. 1t was
like the rocking of boat in heavy
sea, only more jerky. And every jerk
threatened to throw her into space.
But Peggy quickly found how to
adapt herself to the queer motion,
and then she was all right.

to congregate and loaf during winter
months. No more will the working
mems cheap hotels on lower Farnam

months.
Men engaged in useful or essential
labor will not be disturbed. How
ever, the government will draft the
unmarried floater and send him to the
federal munition plants at the east
to perform war work. Men now are
permitted to volunteer for this labor.
The government has recruiting agents
here who are gathering men to ship
to Nitro, w. Va. The men so recruit
ed are given free housing, have
natural gas to heat their quarters with.
electric lights and baths in their
houses. clean linen furnished by the
government and the linen is changed
once a week. They are paid $4.l2 a
day for an 8-hour day and are
charged 81 per week for their board.
A canvass is being made of the city
and every single man of the class
known as floating labor is being

Among Children in Schools

 Please also congratulate, for me, the people of your County who | through their subscriptions and ener- getic work have proved their loyalty and determination to back up our boys who are sacrificing themselves for the liberty and freedom which we are to enjoy.
 "The State of Arkansas. with an ov- ersubscription of approximately 142 per cent shows remarkable record. The Eighth Federal Reserve District has been advertised throughout the Nation as foremost in the contest for supremacy and felicitate you on your part in bringing about this great measure of success
 Il realize the great amount of work which your Organization has put in; perhaps the many difficulties which you have had to overcome It has been real fight but the people have responded we'll and it is a comfortable feeling to know that national good has come out of the effort.
 Yours sincerely,
