Think Before You Cash Your
 War Saving Stamps.

The government is making a record of all persons who pur- chase War Saving Stamps and the feasons given if the stamps are cashed before their matur- -ity. These lists finally will be filed with thepCountya Clerk in leach county to establish a per manent Tecord of each individ- uai's part in the war work. Every citizen. will.he known not only by the extent of his invest ment, but by the duration of his loan. This fact probably is not known by persons who un- thinkingly cash their stamps be fore payment from the govern ment is due. Uncle Sam spends the money as soon as 1t IS re- ceived. When he is called upon to refund these loans, he is iii the same predicament that one would be if he borrowed money from the bank to build a house, and after he had purchased ma terial and put carpenter to work, the bank would suddenly recall the loan. Don. cash your War Saving Stamps before 1923 unless you have to. Be sure that your reason, as 1t Will be put in the record at the court house, justifies your act.

DOWN TO BRASS TAcks
Some Real Live, Up to the Minute Questions for Red Flooded Brinkleyites
 to Answer.

Are you going to be satisfied to run on in the same old way as in the past?
 Or shall there be a real organ ized effort in these busy days of reconstruction to build a BIGGER, BRIGHTER, BET TER BRINKLEY?
 Other towns and cities are getting on the harness and are going after things.
 The U. s. Government has recently purchased site for a IU. s. post office building in Brinkley. When the Govern ment arranged to buy that site, they didn't have a dollars inter est, but NOW the Government owns and controls more prop erty interests in Brinkley than l it owns in any other city or town in Eastern Arkansas-it owns and controls the railroads and six of their lines diverge out of Brinkley; they own the telephone and telegraph lines; the express companies, etc. There's not much of a chance of these ever going back to pri- vate ownership and since that's practically an accepted fact, then it can readily be seen that with their exceptionally large and important holdings in Brinkley, that it is but reason able that an effort should be made by Brinkley people to have the Government change and improve it's proposed build ing in Brinkley in accordance with the importance of it's new holdings and property interests 1 here.
 Now is the time to act. With out a concert of action and or ganized effort nothing will be, done.
 Conditions in Brinlley are such as should have the unself- ish attention of organized effort and unless our citizens awaken to this fact they will pay the price for their failure.
 We have the men, money and brains and mixingthese in the right way will surely bring some astonishing results in old Brinlley town, if we can but awake to the necessity of action 1 NOW. Now is the time to do something for a Bigger, Bright CT, Better Brinkley.

ed to the Secret Service.
Since then the censor in Chicago
barred certain parts of the picture as
being rather too severe for public per-
formance. The manager then tele-
graphed to President Wilson that the
Chicago censor was apparently of Ger
man sympathies" and asked that the
District Attorney investigate the mat
ter. The censors in Philadelphia have
also objected to portions of the Grif-
fifth picture, And again the manager has
raised the cry of "proG German" In re-
an advertisement of the managers in a
Philadelphia paper says that at least
two of them appear to be strongly pro-
German in their activities censoring
this work"
Personally we do not believe in
censorship of moving pictures or any
thing else, but the attempt to break
it down and to stihe criticism by
charges Of disloyalty seems to us silly
in the. extreme. Impertinent is an
other word which comes to mind. We
wonder if MIR. Gests or Mr.. Griffith
really believes that the successful
prosecution OF the war depends upon
scene in Hearts of the World" in
which German gentleman engaged in
pursuing young woman froths at
the mouth. Or another in which a
property bayonet seems to enter the
body of a super and come out on the
other side, Or still others in which
Mr.. Griffith dwclls at great length and
with great detail upon German in

We are not sufficiently skilled in
public psychology to know whether

Of opinion on such points, as we gather
from various controversies in the Sen
ate, but for our part we think it con-
ceivable that an American citizen may
be anti-Kaiser and anti-"Hearts of the

But No Harm Done

had practical demonstration of one
of the many labor saving and, at the
same time, life saving devices modern
science has devised for the working
man. A high school girl, who at
tended the exposition with her class,
accidentally thrust her hand into the
mass of threads on working loom.
Several of her companions screamed
and instantly there was close to a
panic. Then the girl calmly withdrew
her hand, uninjured.
What happened briefly was this
The moment her hand became en-
meshed ih the threads, some of them
broke. The instant they did so, the
loom automatically stopped, The re-
suit, no harm done.
During the day, too, the National
Wool Fibre Manufacturers carried on
ar an education campaign for conserve

made much, was that if all the wool
in the world was divided pro rata
there would only be fourteen ounce
for each person. How far that much
wool would go toward clothing the in

tion to picture in the mind,
