Seal Used on Our Paper Money.

A relic of the revolutionary days
when we were not yet a nation still
remains on our paper money, says the
Popular Science Monthly. The seal
which appears on every bill issued by
the government contains the abbre-
Waited words 'Thesaur. Amer. Septent.
Sigil." The full phrase is ''Thesauri
Americana Septentriomalis Sigillum,"
which simply means "Seal of the
Treasury of North America" Our
distinguished ancestors felt that if a
thing were to be said with dignity, it
had to be said in Latin.

A Novel Treatment.

Wherever there is bay window one
invariably associates it with a window
seat. A departure from this is a broad
window shelf to hold here and there
a potted plant or book or two. The
one drawback to this feature is that
one is too apt to clutter it with bric-a-
brac. If the broad expanse of shelves
is kept clear this treatment is both
restful and decorative.

LOOKING Into the Future.

An eminent engineer has predicted
that in time to come the rivers of the
United States will no longer flow as
they do today. Each important stream
will he merely a series of sluggish
lakes, with electric power stations in
between. All the little streams will
be wiped out, and their waters COM
bined into the great ones that are to
supply the heat, light and power Of
the future.

Naming of Pic2diIIy.

Picadilly, made familiar TO most
Americans by "Tipperary," is believed
to have got its name from pickadelles
or picadillies, a variety of turnover
collar. A tailor named Higgins, who
had made q fortune selling these arti-
cles of apparel built home in that
particular part of London in 1850 and
called it Picadilla hall, hence the name
Picadilly.

About Rheumatism

Rheumatism causes more pain and

to sufferers to know that there is a
remedy that will afford relief and make
rest and sleep possible. 1t is called

IN MEMORLAM.

Mrs. Kate Murphy Hill departed this life October 7, 1918, at her home near Weldon, Ark, after a short ill- ness of Spanish influenza and pneu- monia.
 She leaves seven children to mourn her departure, also two sisters and two brothers, besides a host of friends. She has one daughter mar ried (Mrs. Wash May). Her sisters are Mrs. T. J. Burton of Auvergne and Mrs. F. A. Cole of Jonesboro. Her brothers are w. J. Murphy of Jonesboro and R. L. Murphy of Bono, all in Arkansas.
 She was a quiet, humble, sweet Christian woman, and a faithful mo- ther. To know her was to love her and she was a blessing to the com- munity in which she lived. Surely the world was made better by her be- ing in it and we feel that our loss IS her eternal gain. It was such a shock and sad indeed to give her up, but we know God is too wise to make mistake and too good to be unkind, so let us all look to Him who know eth best and try to live so we can meet dear Kate at Gods right hand, where we trust she is waiting and watching for her precious children and friends.
 She is gone but not forgotten, Never will her memory fade; Sweetest thoughts will ever finger, Around the grave where she was laid.
 Written by her sister-in-law, who loved her.
 Mrs. W. J. Murphy.

Arkansas negro that had to be dis charged as an incurable stammerer last week. The examining officer tried his best to see if the darkey would qualify and used the customary method of attempting to produce singing tone from the recruit. Sew eral efforts failed. Then the officer tried to get him to sing hymn tune. Again nothing doing. The black was apparently tone deaf and couldn't raise his voice. Surprise was sug- gested and some one stuck pin in the blacks pantaloons. He jumped and grunted but still in the monotone. Don't you know any songs?" quer- jed the sergeant. "Ah h-h-h-haint n-n-n neveh s-s-s-s-s sis," tried the rookie. Hang it all, whistle" shout ed the sergeant Whistle he did and out came "singed n-n-n nuthin." Sew eral days in succession, to see ii the negro was possuming, the same rig garmarole was gone through. Fl- nallv the officer gave it up in desper- ation and ordered his discharge. 1t was said to be one of the first cases on record where a darkey couldn't sing, or be taught to sing enough to overcome his stuttering.

CAMP PIKE NEWS.

Few more strenuous weeks than the
 week just past have occurred at Camp
 Pike. It has been a week that has
 tried mems souls, for 1t marked the crest of the worst epidemic through
 which the camp has passed. And during that week the debt of grat- itude which the people of Arkansas
 and adjoining states owe to the I.
 M. c. A. has been manifolded and the
 people of the rural districts have seen then, as never before, how splen- i did a service the Army Y can and is ] performing for the men in camp and their families at home. Only those in intimate touch with the situation can
 have the faintest idea of what those
 Y men did. Inquiry after inquiry I from anxious parents was answered.
 Soldiers were brought into touch
 with their families and honefolks,
 mothers and fathers who had come ! long distances to see their sons had 1 their hearts desires satisfied. If | call came from the base hospital for :! spiritual ministTation, it was answer ed instantly.
 Y men acted as nurses; Y men
 acted as messengers; Y men acted
 as information bureaus, and a brace
 of Y men actually staged and pulled
 off a darkey wedding at the big en- trance gate of Camp Pike. Y men
 learned that profiteering chauffeurs
 were charging parents and sweet hearts half a dollar message to de-
 liver notes to soldiers on the inside.
 Soldier families shall not be thus l yictimizei was the instant decision
 fast auto was immediately placed
 in this same service with a compe-
 tent Y man at the wheel, and with
 ont any charge the soldier was
 brought to the gate Men, whom ru- nor had said were dying, were brought to their parents or sweet hearts gaze, happy and healthy This service was made possible through the establishment of an In formation Bureau just outside of the Camp Pike main gate, where every visitor was welcome and where every question met courteous answer and willing attention.
 Though Camp Pike was hit hard py the epidemic of Spanish Influenza and victims went to the Base Hospital by the thousand, yet the records show that there were few camps Tn | the country where the percentage of l serious sickness was as light as near the Arkansas capital. Fully TO per cent of the cases were of a light va riety where the men recovered III ! few days. The delightful fall climate with the balmy air and abundant sun | shine. contributed to this happy re- suit. Already light is shining | through the clouds, and although It IS
 too early to make predictions It can be said with confidence that the worst
 is over and that the rigid quarantine has done a good work, When all IS said and done, it will be found that the death rate in Camp Pike will be as low as that at any cantonment IT | the country, and that the per centage
 of recoveries is probably the highest They are telling good story on

5O-5O PLAN IS IN FORGE AGAIN TWO DISTRICTS Federal Food Administra- tor Declares Wheat Must Be Saved for
 the Allies. TO USE SUBSTITUTES Unless a Dealer Has These He Will Not Be Allowed
 to Sell Wheat
 Flour.
TO USE SUBSTITUTES
(OfficiaI BuIietin)

Beginning today, and effective until further notice, the fifty-fifty plan or pound-for pound governing the sale of wheat flour, and substitutes now in effect throughout the United States, to the end that wheat flour may be saved for exportation to our soldiers and associates in the war, is to prevail in the First and Third Divisions of Alaska, is the order is- sued this morning by Federal Food Administrator for Alaska, @
 Telegrams and correspondence from the United States Food Admin. istration make this action imperative at this time.
 The ratio of wheat flour to substi- tutes now in effect in the First and Third Divisions is this day set aside and vacated Fifty-fifty is to be the rule without exceptions of any kind. In the event a dealers supply of the various substitutes is exhausted, he will not be permitted to sell wheat flour at all, if he has any on hand, until supply of the substitutes is received to be sold in the proper proportions.
 Rye flour is not substitute, how ever it may be sold and purchased straight without substitutes. Rye flour is now being exported to the European battle fields.
 Our nation is in peril, vastly great CT than you perhaps realize. Our sur plus of wheat and wheat flour are rapidly approaching exhaustion. The civil population of France, Engalnd and Italy must be saved from star vation, or our cause will be lost, and the millions of men who have died and who are yet to die upon the battlefields of Europe for the cause of liberty will have died in vain.
 America will not fail in this cris- is, but the people of America must save to win The substitution of oth- CT cereals for wheat in order that we may have a small surplus to ex- port to Europe is the duty and privi- 
 lege of every American citizen. and can be brought about with the ex- penditure of neither blood nor treas ure, and even without personal dis comfort oe
 In addition to the many receipes already distributed, the Federal Food Administrator for Alaska is compil- ing a booklet containing many excel lent recipes demonstrating how the various substitutes may be used which will be distributed in the near future.
 Among the authorized substitutes that must now be purchased pound for pound~ wheat flour are:
 Barley flour, buckwheat flour, corn flour, potato flour, rice flour, corn starch corn grits, hominy, oatmeal, rice, rolled oats, cornmeal, sweet po- tato flour. soya bean flour and Fet erita flour and meals.

S7. I own a tract of timber which was partially destroyed by fire dur ing 1917. Is this loss allowable as a deduction?
 The actual amount of capital in vested in standing timber, if acquir ed on or after March 1, 1913, and la ter destroyed by fire, may be claim ed as a deduction if not reimbursed by insurance or otherwise. If the timber was acquired prior to March 1, 1913, it's fair market price or val ue as of that date may be claimed To illustrate the method to be em- ployed in computing the amount of loss allowable as a deduction, the following is submitted: A tract of land was acquired prior to March l 1913, and the estimated amount of timber standing on that tract on that date was 100000 feet, board meas ure, the fair market price or value per 1000 feet established by the cur rent prices prevailing in the locality of the tract in question as of March 1, 1913, being $4. During the year 1917, 100000 feet of this timber was destroyed by fire. In this case $1, 900 is the amount which may be claimed as deduction.
 88. If cattle or other live stock are produced on a farm which own or operate, and are then lost through disease, may l claim their value at the time of death as an allowable deduction?
 Nos If the stock which died was purchased and the cost has not been claimed in previous return as a de duction. that cost may be claimed as a deduction in your return ren dered for the year during which the loss occurred.
 89 If crop which is ready to be harvested, but has not been gath cred, or a crop which has been har vested but has not been sold, is de stroyed by storm, flood, or fire, can the value of that crop be claimed as a deduction?
 No It is understood, of course that the actual cost of producing or harvesting a crop which has been so destroyed may be claimed as a deduction under the head of business expense.
