reports conditions in that state the best
ever known, C. F. has a splendid
crop and is getting big price for it.
The young man has been very success
full and has fine property that is fixed
up in first class shape. Some idea Of
the improvements can be imagined
from one item. There are eleven miles
of hog tight fencing on the ranch. The
fence consists Of one barb wire near
the ground, then strip Of hog tight
fencing and lastly three wires on top.
How would you Ii e to build eleven
miles Of fencing? The farm is near
town, and part Of it is within eighty
rods Of the depot C. F. is unmarried.
He has Travelled much in his lifetime
and is well posted in history and cur
rent events. He is now determined to

ranch and enlisted to go to France.
During the last drive he bought s., 900
worth of Liberty bonds but is not salts
fed until he gets whsck at the Kaiser

Wall Ma.ss'. Advice to Bond B,yer,.

HELPING To WIN Breathes there q
man with soul so dead he never to him
self hath said, ''I'll dig up money,
every chance. if that will help our boys
in France. II coin will help to squash
the Hun, have no use for boarded
mon. The hat I've worn since '93 will
do another year for me; the shoes 1
bought three years ago will serve to
bear me to and fro; the pants I drew
in fathers will are fit for ample serv-
ice still. I root for Uncle Sam at bat,
so come along and pass the hat" It's
hard to understand the skate who's
scheming early, scheming late. to see
how little he can give; he ought to be
ashamed to live. Committees call at
his abode. and kindly ask him to
unload. He backs and fills and huns
and haws, and shoves some piff1e
through his jaws Il dug up fifty cents
last May; I can't spare anything
today" And he can face himself, that
guy. who ought to hunt hole and die.
But IN the long, sad years to come,
he'll find this world is out of plumb; he
failed to whoop for liberty, and while
on earth he'll be as lonesome as the
yaller dorg that hangs around the city
morgue. Oh, we must give until it
hurts, until we've soaked our Sunday
shirts. and when we've given all we
own, still strive to give another bone.

ies to be produced in film form has been given the advantage of Norma Talmadge's winning personality and excellent acting ability.
 HThe Secret of the Storm Country" consists in the heroine's marriage to a young chap whose social position is much above that of his wife. Tess has promised him not to reveal the secret and keeps her word. Her hus- bands mother prevails upon him to propose to young girl in his own set and he is weak enough to go through la marriage ceremony. Tess knows of this and holds her tongue.
 The discovery that she is to become a mother does not -hange her deter imitation. The elders of the church discover her condition and demand the name of the man. He gives Tess an imploring look and she permits the elders to make her an outcast from among them. Her child is born, and for three wears his mother allows the stain of illegitimacy to be attached to his name. Her duty to her child and the woman who is unknowingly living in sin with the man she is shielding make no impression on her conscience. The child's excuse for father has the decency to die, and Tess marries a man who has stood her friend all through her troubles.

STREETS OF CHICAGO
 LIKE WAR TRENCHES
Wade knox Reports Automobiles Buried Under Snow ill the
 Windy City.

Autos in Chicago streets were buried under the snow and all traffic was suspended for days in the Windy City, says Wade H. Knox, president of the Knox-Walker Furniture company, who returned yesterday from a trip to Chicago and Grand Rapids. Incident ally, three days were required for MT. Knox's train to bring him from Chi cago to Pine Bluff. Further indication of the demoralization of railroad schedules by reason of the blizzard is given by the statement that AS hours were required from the run from Chi cago to Grand Rapids, usually made in less than 10 hours. MT. Knox said the snow was so deep in Chicago strets that in the paths on the side walks he was barely able to see over the top "It was like walking in a deep ditch," he said.
 "The furniture market was the big gest ever seen,' remarked MT. Knox, discussing trade conditions. There were furniture men at Grand Rapids from all parts of the United States. Prices are extremely high. Furniture men look for big business, but prices were enough to appall them" Mir. Knox said there would be some changes in furniture styles in the near future.

Chas. Lowe and the nephcws and nieces of Liberty, one of the best Tab Ibid musical shows that has ever play ed in Pine Bluff, play to bigger busi- ness the second day of their engage ment than the first and have made quite a number of friends in the short time that they have been here. Mir. Chas. Lowe is without doubt one of the best juvenile leads in the country, and has a style that reminds one of Geo. M. Conan. MT. Lowe's original para disc were hit, as also was his eccen- tric dancing. His two comedians are also very clever and the prima donna and soubrette are way above the av- craze "Tab" show.

Conserving Tin Cane.

All over the world many uses are found for used five-gallon tin cans. In the Orient, Africa, Latin-America, the West and East Indies, the natives pur. chase them for innumerable purposes, There are men engaged solely in buy. ing and selling these containers. The tinsmith coverts the containers into all kinds of household utensils-lamps, cook stoves, pots, baking pans, sprink. lers. small pumps, plates, measures drinking cups, rat-traps and buckets. With one face removed and glass sub. stttuted therefor the can becomes a dis. play box for grocery stores, or a rice container. Gut diagopally in two 1t serves as dust pan. In Latin-Amer. tcan cities 1t is used by peons to cut grass in parks, being formed into a sort of knife. Used entire 1t is good for shipping csmphor. lime, alcohol and molasses. It makes an excellent nower-pot.

Careless Use of
 Soap Spoils the Halr

Soap should be used very carefully. if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared sham. poos contain too much allali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle; and ruins it.
 The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsifed cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or any: thing else you can use.
 One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub t in. It makes an abundance of rici1. creamy father, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust dit, dandruf and excessive oil. The hail dries quickly and evenly. and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage.
 You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months.

BEST THEATRE.

Vitagraph- presents Mildred Mar ming and Chas. Kent in "The Mar riage Speculation" This five-part photo-drama is story of unfrenziec finance in which a girl rises very much above par.
 This photo-play takes it's name from the bargain entered upon by two of the leading characters which is the basis for a love story somewhat un- usual and diverting. The play is a comedy drama with the two elements provided in about equal proportions.
 Clara Wilton, despairing of her own position in life and her sweetheart's $ lack of ambition, enters into com- pact whereby, in return for capturing a rich husband, she is to be provided with an education and social position Posing as the niece of Clidoy, whose money she is spending, she haunts the hotels where eligible husbands are to be found, and has little difficulty in winning number of hearts. The on- ly trouble is that posing as a wealthy girl, all her suitors are fortune hunt, CTS. As the last of Cliday's honey is giving out, and as Clara faces the mo- ment when she must fulfill her bar gain and choose husband, the neg lected sweetheart, Perkins suddenly |affluent and the possessor of a froc}l coat, comes upon the scene. The end ing is of course, happy.
 The action is swift, the continuity good, and the humor unforced.
 An adequate cast has been provided Mildred Manning appears to advant. age in a number of pleasing costumes, and acts consistently. Wallace Nc Donald provides some good comedy and Charles Kent is distinguished in 9 role that gives but little opportunity for his ability.
 Many pretty exterior locations have been photographed.

A package wrapped in a newspaper
does not look as attractive. 1t would
