WHAT WE CAN DO

Many people think that because
we are not on the firing line we
have nothing to do, but we have
something to do. The women can
save in the kitchen and If they are
able, can be nurses. The. men who
can't be soldiers can work in the
garden or knit The boys and
girls can knit, work for the Red
Cross, gather tinfoil for the Red
Cross and raise things. So you see
everybody has something to do.
We ought to be thankful we have
good home and can work in gar
dens. Don't grumble when mother
or father says, do your work now
Think of those poor people in Bel
GUM and different places were they
are starving.
We are doing this so that the
people can rule peacefully forever
with Liberty and Justice for ALL

HOW TWO CHILDREN
HELPED THE U. S. A.

There were once two children,
who were very poor. Their father
and mother had died when they
were young.
There names were Glen and
Mary. Glen was about eight years
old and Mary was nine years old.
They wanted to help Uncle Sam to
win the war, like the other children
were doing.
So they thought up plan to
help Uncle Sam.
Glen said, 81 will 60 and sell
newspapers and with the money
earn l can buy me thrift stamp"
Then Mary said, II will go and
work for Aunt and can get some
money with which to buy a thrift
stamp" Mary's aunt was very
glad to have Mary to work for
her.
So the next Saturday, they went
to work and Glen made sixty cents
and his sister Mary made twenty
five cents. They went and bought
three thrift stamps.
They kept on working until they
had four dollars each and then they
bought themselves two war savings
stamps.
Glen and Mary continued working
until they had four dollars each
again like they did the other time.
Then they bought themselves two
more war savings stamps.
Then they were very glad be-
cause they could do like the other
children were doing. Kuhl-

GIRLS! TRY II! hAVf THICK, NAVY,
 BEAUTIFUL HAIR
Every Particle of Dandruff Disap- pears and Hair stops Coming Out. Draw Moist Cloth Through Hair
 and Double Its Beauty at Once.

Your hair becomes light, wavy, fluffy, abundant and appears as soft lustrous and beautiful as young girls after "Danderine hair cleanse" Just try this-moisten a cloth with little DanGerine and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. This will cleanse the hair of dust, dirt and excessive oil and in just a few moments you have doubled the beauty of your hair.
 Besides beautifying the hair at once, Danderine dissolves every par ticle of dandruff; cleanses. purifies and invigorates the scalp, forever stopping itching and falling hair.
 But what will please you most will be after few weeks use when you will actually see new hair--fine and downy at first-yes-but really new hair growing all over the scalp. If you care for pretty. sof. hair and lots of it., surely invest a few cents in a bottle of Knewlton's Danderine at any drug store or toilet counter, and just try it.
 Save your hair! BcaH4ify it! You will say this was the best money you ever spent. Adv.

SERVING THE PUBLIC.

Pine Bluff people are unable to fully appreciate their advantages until they make comparisons with conditions in other towns and cities. Consider the sitaution in the recent severe weather, for instance. While Pine Bluff has rot had all the fuel it wanted, it had enough to keep fairly warm. Some industries were compelled to cease op- erations, but none of the public utili- ties suspended, as they did in most cities. Except for short periods, Pine Bluff enjoyed street car servica thru out the blizzard--a time when street cars are most needed.
 These things were not accomplished, however, without unceasing activity upon the part of those in charge of these utilities. Except newspaper men and officials, few know the hours, the work, the efforts devoted by Manager Woodward of the Pine Bluff company and Manager Emerson of the com- pany's power plant to "keep things moving" These men gave no thought to hours, nor expense. Their sole aim was to serve the public. They made good.
 Manager Randolph of the gas com pany, too, did his part well. If there was a shortage, it was not his fault. He never ceased to strive to provide enough gas for the homes.
 Fine Bluff has a reason to feel very friendly toward the local officials, of its public utilities

MEN SUBJECT TO

Little Rock, Jan. 23.--The mar riage license records of Pulaski county show that as many marriage licenses have been issued recently to men subject to the military draft as to men of all other ages. Up to and including January 22. 61 licenses have been issued to men between the ages of 21 and 31, which is also the exact number issued to all others, or in other words, half of the 122 marriage licenses issued so far this month have been to men subject to the draft.
 During the same period for Decem- Der the proportion was much greater, 139 licenses being issued to men of draft age to S2 issued to all others

SECRETARY BAKER AND HIS
 JOB.

It is unfortunate that many of the gentlemen of the congress don't lay away political bias during the war. Also some of their newspapers.
 Some Republicans and some Demo- crats are in this class.
 The former just finished hopping on Baker; the latter got through barking at Hoover.
 Let's look at the facts. An army of nearly million and half was sud- denly raised. The secretary of war was not responsible for the delay in beginning such a preparedness step he was merely the tool of the gov ernment after congress sanctioned the raising of the army.
 And the secretary made mistakes or at least, his department did.
 There is no visible guarantee any where that anybody else would have made fewer mistakes. England, France, Italy, Russia and efficient" Germany has made them--and plenty of them.
 Baker may not be genius. Prob ably if war secretary genius could be found Baker would lose his job quickly.
 The idea that MT. Roosevelt should he secretary of war is pretty good for an idea but unpraeticable under scru- tiny. President Wilson is human though president, and there isn't one chance in a thousand that he'd appoint Mr. Roosevelt to the job even if Baker resigned tomorrow.
 In declaring to do this the presi- dent might bs committing a grave en- ror-have this as you will and accord ing to your politics or how much you like or don't like MT. Roosevelt,
 As for MT. Hoover. the food chief has apparently completely vanquish- ed Senator Reed and his inquisitors. The situation doesn't require comment, Hoover is "in strong" with tifs public because the price of foodstuffs have been stopped from kiting, and though still high, they are nothing compared

Why should the newspapers be ex- pected to carry the greatest part of the load? The newspaper publisher ought to have the same freedom of contributing of his property as other folk, but good many people who ac. cept $10 gratefully from a millionaire complain loudly and rescntfully when the poor publisher doesn't give the complainant $100 or more worth of spase to promote some pet enterprise.

The government might set the pace in conservation, especially of paper and labor, by limiting the quantity of press agent dope" being sent out by the various departments, administra- tions and bureaus. Each branch thinks it's own work the most impor- tant and entitled to the most publicity. The result is the newspapers are re- ceiving tons of stuff, prepared in three to five-column articles. Few of the papers can publish it, the people would not read it all if the papers did print the stuff, and most of it goes into the waste basket.

LESSON FOR AMERICA.

London, Jan. 23.-In view of the present campaign for economy in the United States, it may be of interest to Americans to learn that the peo- pie of England have accomplished in this direction. At the beginning of the war broken meat and other table refuse in camps and barracks were sold as swill for pigs as very low price. Now, however, wiser system prevails, and the utilization of the by- products of the ration has become a vast business. From the table refuse glycerine is now obtained for muni- tions at the rate of 1,200 tons yearly. At the present time the profit to the army from the sale of by products and swill is at the rate of over $4,500,000 a year.
