THREE ARKANSAS BOYS
 CITED FOR BRAVERY.

The commander in chief of the American Expeditionary Forces, in the name of the president, has award ed the distinguished service cross to the following named officers and sol diers for the acts of extraordinary he roism set forth after their names:
 Private Andy Keeton, Company G, 357th Infantry,-"For extraordinary heroism in action near Fey-en-H Hays, France, September 9-12, 1918. Be- coming separated from his patrol, Pri- vate Keeton with another soldier at tackled an enemy patrol and drove it off, though the number of their op- ponents was estimated at 50.

utilities in the United States-gas, light, water, telephone and street railway.
 Hundred of cases are now pending before, or are being heard by State Commissions and City Councils.
 Over thirty city-owned utilities in- creased rates in 1917.
 Everyone of these increases was based on these propositions:
 "That the Price of Service Must Meet Its Cost"
 Money honestly invested in the Pub lie service is entitled to fair inerest return.
 Public utilities have been the great est business sufferers from the extra ordinary conditions due to the war. Other enterprises have been pro- tected. The government has recog- nized the fundamental doctrine that the price paid for a commodity must meet it's cost. Government contracts are all on this basis. In taking over the railroads this principle was recog- nizcd.
 But public utilities have been fore ed to face extraordinary increases in labor, fuel and materials without any increase in the rates. They have been trying to operate with a nickle now worth 2h cents.
 Capital was stunning this field of investment so important to the people. Improvement had stopped. Service was of necessity being reduced. So State Commissions and City Coun- cils, after searching investigations, have exercised their rate making power to save for the people the pub lie services on which they depend.

FRATERNITIEs TO INITIATE now
Permission Given by Pan-Hellenic
Council as War Measure.

Permission .-4s been given the fra
ternities of the University of Missouri
20 initiate their freshmen now. by the
Pan-Hellenic Council of the University.
1t is expected that about $50 pledges
will be initiated into the fraternities
before october 1.
This is distinctly war measure. Ac-
cording to rules laid down several
years ago no freshman was eligible to
initiation until he had completed a Sc
mesters work in the University. Even
then he could not be initiated if he had
nor passed in ffteen-sixteenths of his
scholastic work.
The fraternities will be scattered
upon the establishment of the S.AT!C.
at the University. AS a war measure
10 help maintain the organization of
the fraternities, special permission has
been granted for initiation at this time.

REFUSAL TO DANCE EXPLAINED
University Women Decide Social Atti-
tude Toward Soldiers.

I At the regular meeting Of the Y. "
c. A. yesterday afternoon. regret wa:
expressed that so little had been done
for the soldiers in training in COlum-
bia.
Miss Frances Gray opened the dis
cussion by suggesting that everyone
express her ideas about the relations
of University women, as a body, 10 the
vocational section of the S. A. T. c.
She said that, due to a misunderstand-
ing of Student Government Association
rules and the lack Of formal introduc-
tions. many University women refused
TO dance with the soldiers at the mill
tary wedding which took place a short
time ago. The soldiers, not under
standing. were hurt Therefore it was
necessary, she said, that University
women decide exactly what their atti-
tude should be and tc let it be known.
Several girls who live in canton
men: towns spoke. All said University
women should show their democratic
spirit by making the soldiers enjoy
their period of training in Columbia

that. as it is practically impossible 10

The war has done it. Many Of the
frills of life are being given up on

terials needed by the Government, the

In peace times, the doctrine Of the
"Spug" was a little radical for this
country, addicted to pleasure as We
are. A fve-pound box Of chocolates
was more acceptable TO a young lady
than a parasol. and toy pistols and
dolls were preferred by the children to
mittens and hair ribbons. The -Spug"
doctrine has been brought to the front
by the abnormal conditions of war. II

WHY WORRY!

Many persons are continually wor.
Tying over the most trivial of disap-
pointments. When they have nothing
worth worrying about they call on
their imaginatiOns 10 furnish some
thing.
Worry is unjustifable from every
point OF view. 1t rifles up the temper,
makes one pessimistic, brings lines of
care and shortens life, wastes in re-
fiection time which should be turned 10
useful ends. and does absolutely no
good
The past is gone and cannot be
changed. and worry over it is futile
The sadiest words Of pen or tongue
are. 1t might have been" Forget the
unpleasant things in the past and let
only pleasant memories remain with
you.
The future is another matter Plans
must be made and difficulties antici-
pated. But this does not mean that a
deep unreasoning dread need possess
one. Meet the future bravely and it
will take care of itself

WELL DONE. BOY SCOUTS.

The success of the American wal
program owes no small debt to the
Boy Scouts of America They were ad-
mired before the war; TO that admira-
tion has been added a deep respect
They have been weighed in the bal
ance and found worthy.
The war program has called heavily
on the organization and spirit of the
Boy Scouts. They have responded
with patriotic and efficient service in
all lines of war work. Especially have
they rendered aid in the sale of Liberty
Bonds. Mrs. W. G. McAdoo, wife Of the
Secretary Of the Treasury, pays the
following tribute 10 them:
The fine service of the Boy Scouts
has made their organization one of the
indispensable parts of the Govern
ment's war-bond selling machine. OF
every s47 received by the Government
for the Second Liberty Bonds, 81 was
secured by the Boy Scouts. With less
than 100000 members, the Boy Scouts
secured subscriptions to the amount of
sIO2, 2,OS4, 1907"
The Boy Scouts is notsa militant or
ganization. But its principles -self-re-
lance, manhood and good citizenship
assure adequate equipment for service
in time Of war. The Boy Scout who is
selling Liberty Bonds this year is well
fitted to become soldier a few years
from now. The Boy Scout motto, "BE
PREPARED" finds its justification in
the present situation.
The movement was begun in Eng
land in 1908, by General Sir Robert S.
S. Baden-Powell Within two and a
half years 10000 had enrolled.
At the same time Ernest Thompson
Seton had an organization in America
known as the Woodcraft Indians. And
Dan c. Beard organized the Sons Of
Daniel Boone In 1910 these two we're
combined into the Boy Scouts of Amer
ica. By 1913 there were 100000 mem
bers.
The Boy Scouts will play as large a
part in the Fourth Liberty Loan cam
paign as they have in the preceding
campaigns and in other war activities.
Their high ideals will assure for them
an important place in the life of the
Nation after the war.

WHO'LL BE THE FIRST

OF course we're all going to buy Lib
erty Bonds % the limit in the campaign
which opens tomorrow. That goes
without saying.
Then let's buy them tomorrow and
not force more patriotic persons to
spend their scanty leisure hunting
for US.
And if we're going TO buy tomorrow
let's do ii early and avoid the afternoon
crowd
