C. of D. chairmen sent in recommend
ations for County Chairmen for this

Where this was not done, the appoint
ments were made by the Executive

not DELAYED. In counties where the
work had not been started vast year,
volunteers are urged to write at once
to Headquarters in order that we nave
no Stacker counties.
$3.50 keeps an orphan one year in
his mothers home. This is only ioc
per day, which, in addition to wnai the
French Government gives, will keep u
child from want. A few years Oh
neglect, of scanty food and under
nourishment, prey to the ravages OF
un-disseminated disease and it will
be too late.
Little River county has been given
quota of Al. Mrs. J. E. Locke o.
Ashdown is the chairman. The fol-
lowing schedule shows the cos. OF Sup
porting child for whatever time you
elect to pay:

PIP. Claxton, Commissioner of E1u-
cation says:
I know nothing the children of AM
erica can do more fitting than 20 co.,
tribute to the support Of the children
of France who haye been orphaned by
he cruel war which has rsgec Oh the
soil of that devoted and Impoverished
country for four years and more.
am Informed that more than million
French children have lost their fathers
and that more thsn 100000 of these
are dependent on the State anc chart

Government gives to each OF these So

give. At the present cost OF living
fully twice as much is required for the

mic WY possible. The Society known
as the Fatherless Children of france
mas undertaken to supply the addition

chilSren of America for help. s5 a

Editorial Comment
Maine Yields No Clew.
(Boston Globe)

Study of the Maine election re-
turns offers little assistance in fore
casting the outcome of elections else
where next November.
The outstanding fact was the light
ness of the vote, for even in off
years more than 141.000 ballots had
been cast at every September eiec-
ton since 1908. Yet this falling off
was no greater than had been eX-
pected.
For once, Names familiar prohibit
ton issue was largely wanting. Pol
tiles in general have been overshad-
owed by more vital matters espe-
cially since in Maine there was no
question Of disloyalty on either side
Many of the States voters. too, are
far away, wearing the blue or the
olive drab. Not improbably the No
vember polls will tell the same story
in other states.
For the rest, the Republican party
has held it's own. The Senator and
Governor elected two years ago are
returned to office. and not even
in the I'd Congressional District
through. One plurality may be in
creased. another diminished; but
they are changes of little moment.
The Pine Tree silbyl gives no
answer to the riddle of November.
The Nations political test tube
yields only a negative result. Demo
Gratis can surely find no argument
for victory there, and if Republicans
look for one they are forgetful that

Soap should be used very care

Dear Ep:
Oh bow. Compared with me-
sherman was a recruit. His hell Is
our paradise. and our boys certainly
have seen a whole lot of war lately
also. we've shown the Heinies just
who's who on this planet. Never
again will Hindenburg disparage
Yankee military Importance; Uncle
Sans doughboys and other branches
have pulled the biggest surprise-to
Europe-of the war; we have shown
them that we're there.
But about Sherman. l have lived
through about as much concentrated
1918 warfare as one could be expect
ed to, and I am absolutely sound.
While it lasted, the taking part of it
was anything but pleasant, but we
gave more than we took. A
chronology Of my travels during the
last several weeks would read good,
believe me. You know more than l
do about the general war condition.

can't tell anything that would be live
dope. but after the scrap is over
can tell 'em all where they get off,
when it comes to excitement.
Although / probably won't see ac
tive fighting for some time now. as
no outfit can stay up there forever.
I've seen enough war to fill a dozen
books already. Gas. shrapnel, high
explosives. bombs and whatnot didn't
happen to have my number. They
say the Huns didn't expect any
Americans in front of their last big
drive: in that they were sadly sur
prised.
When the A. f. F. is mustered out
and a member of it hears a trolley
singing along its wire. he'll dive for
the gutter, waiting for the expected
shell to burst. It's great sport
lodging. And they told us it wasn't
possible. One man doped out Ger
man gunner's plan of action and fol-
lowed his searching fire up a long
woods and out into field. It's a
great life.
| The ravages Of shell fire to villages
can't be pictured too wildly. We've
seen towns before and after in

ruins Of Rheims and Loavain couldn't
have anything on some of the burgs
we've been through. Most buildings

The greatly reduced margin by which
Governor MIllikcn was elected yester-
day shows that there was good cause
for more signs of panic in the Repub-
lican ranks toward the close Of the
campaign. A little more or little
stronger organiza ton on the part of
the Democrats would doubtless have
defeated the Republican state ticket
Wateryille Sentinel.
May not seem the same to you,
ncighbor, but to us it appears that if
the Democrats hadn't had so much of
the kind they had they'd have made a
better showing.
