A HEALTH CRUSADE
Miss Quayle in County Paving Way for
 Future Health Campaign.

The Arkansas Public Health Asso- ciation, through it's representative, Miss Margaret Quayle, has completed arrangements for putting some practi cal health work into the Ashdown school. This work is known as the Modern Health Crusader. Each child who enrolls for it viii be given score csrd on which are eleven of the fund amentzl health rules for children There are also on this card spaces for the days of the week for fifteen weeks.
 If a child performs 75 per cent of these chores, as they are called, the first two weeks, he is given a certifi- cate of enrolment and is given the title of page 100 in the order of knight hoot. When he has performed 75 per cent of the chores for an additional three weeks, he is made squire, he performs his tasks for five more weeks and receives button of al knight. For five more weeks ol performance of these chores he is given the high rank of Knight Banneret and put on the honorary list of the, Crusaders.
 Those who have made al study of health work among children believe that by forming good health habits in childhood the problems of health are more easily solved.
 Any teacher in Little River county who is interested in putting the Mod ern Health Crusader in her school may have the material free by writing the Arkansas Public Health Association 401 Donaghey Building, Little Rock Arkansas. This as3oCaation stands ready at all times to assist in the health work of any community or in dividual Pamphlets. on Tuberculosis Useful facts for those living with the tubercular patients, how to prevent tuberculosis, etc, also pamphlets on tookworm how tosprevent it. etc, may be had free by writing the Arkansas Public Health Association at the above address.
 Since one-fourth of our American boys were rejected from the National Army because of physical unfitness our government is urging communities and individuals to give more serious ] thought to the work which would pro- mote the general public health of their people. Public health work is noT' g war measure, since it increases thIc fitness of those at home, thereby in- creasing the output of our nation "Keap well, because your country needs you,' is splendid ada,ge of to- Fday. The work of the Arkansas Pub lie Health Association is strictly edu- cational The people of Little River county may feel perfectly free to call on them for any literature or inform ation they want.

 The taking of St. Quentin remains a difficult t,sk, however, for the Germans are in strong defensive posi- tions and a captured order from Gen. eral von Morgen of the 14th Reserve Corps, emphasizes the importance of the terrain they holds I } orders them not to yield another foot of ground in "the imminent decisive battles"
 Bulgars Defeated Decisively.
 While the British and French were forging ahe,d relentlessly in the west, the Serbs and the French in Macedonia were making more emphatic their de- feat of the Bulgars, who have been reinforced by German :roops. There is every indication that the offensive in the Near Esst is of major propor- tions and that it will develop to the limit. It has widened to the west of Sokol and the east of Vetrenik, until the front extends over 16 miles. The allies have penetrated a; some points a distance of 10 miles. The resistance. of King Ferdinand's troops is weak ening as they are forced back.
 While Marshal Foch was following his policy of striking at widely sep arated points along the battle line, the day was one of comparative quiet. for General Pershing's field army. There was no activity of consequence on their front beyond the usual ar tillery and patrol activity.

STATE WILL MAKE
 BIG STACKER DRIVE
Another Order Takes Up Matter of From Twenty-One t0 Thirty-One Who Failed to Register Prior
 to September F.

An order has been issued from the offices of the adjutant general and proclamation by Gov Brough calling on the boards to close up by Septem- Der 30th Ell cases of desertion, slack'I CTS. He calls upon every registrant who has through 5ailure to keep in touch with his local board heen class ed as deserter to present themselves on Sept. 30th to his local board in or der that his status may Ee determined and proper action in the case be 'lie- termined. These delinquents are to be given another chance and no penal ty will be attached if they present themselves on that date. The loyal ty and patriotism of all citizens is ap- peeled to to aid in giving this the widest publicity and to see that ali delinquents present themselves 10 1 the boards.
 Under this head it is stste5 that Lit tie ,5iver county has 22 men, who have failed so present themselves. The lo> ! cal board states that nearly all of them Ire negroes, who have probably be- come delinquent through ignorance or 1 else have left the country And their whereabouts is not known.
 Under the other head We have the following order from the adjutant gen. eral: 9=

 l Registration reports rendered this office show thstt number of men be- tween the ages of twenty-one and thirty-one inclusive who should have registered prior to September 18th registere5 on September 18th.
 These cases will be governed by Sections 65 md 139 of Selective Ser vice Regulations and our circular A 112.
 To not assign serial numbers to such cards but proceed at once to com ply with the regulations.
 The Little River Local Board states that large numbec of young men in is county from 31 and not yet 32 at the time O. the first registration are snclu0ei. There are 15 Gin Ashdown and Jefferson township alone. At :, his proportion oyer the county the number will be large one. This tact was detected when the last regis tration cards went in and were ex- fiminea,. The names will be forwarded in few days. It appoars that Lost of the young men referred to above did not register because they were mis- led by the words "men between the ages of 21 to 31 inclusive." ' The boartj states that they have wired the ad.utant general for full explan ation, and that nothing will be done until he is hcf-d from more fully.
 TLere was no little excitement when t.ese two orders were received in Ashdown, as the two were confused. isnd the stacker proclamation was read to include all Some effected saw themselves leaving their happy homes for Camp Pike.

CAPTURE OF ST. QUEN=
 TIN SEEMS ASSURED
Stronghold Practically Surrounded on Three Sides-British Advance From tO 5 Miles Over Wide
 Front Toward City.

Paris, Sept 19.-British an. French veterans have made another vicious snd successful smash at the Hindea- burg line. Sweeping forward on frcnt of 22 miles, they went ahead from one and one-third to three Ri!e., taking many prisoners. The most inI- port2nt aspect O. the advance is that it makes more certain the capture of St Quentin, which the Germans hAt< been ordered to Eold at all costs. This important city is practically surrouni- ed on three sides and it's taQl seems on ly matter of days. Field Marshal Haig's Third and Fourth Armies charged over, the trench system occupied by tho British before they were pushed DECK oy the Teu- tonic attack last March. They cap- tured, in wide sectors, the outer de- lenses of the Hindenburg line. i The British assault was over front Of 15 miles, from Holnon, west of St.. Quentin, to Gozeaucourt, north of Ephey In their advance, which reach ed depth of more than three miles at some points, they tocE more tE.n G. O00 prisoners.
 Germans Resist Desperately.
 The blow brought nearer the cap ture O. St. Quentin, which the Ger mans. are struggling desperately to hold, arld it went far toward wiping out the only bulge in the British line which resembles 3 salient EpEoy, at ! tle apex at the bend, has been t.ken and the same fate has besallon Goa- zeacourt and Ha-gicoIrt, which stood at the wings.
