BE NEIGHBoRs WITH FRANCE.


 France has lost two and 3 half million of her population. Germany held six per cent of the territory of France but it was the very heart of French industrialism and manufac- turing. This region, before the war, paid one-fourth of the revenue of France. It is now laid waste The mines cannot be reopened for years. The machinery of mills is destroyed.
 The French are industrious, but they have not now the means to exercise their industry. They must have railroad equipment and shop equipment. They must have building material. They must have the labor of engineers and technical men.
 The French today are just as ones country neighbor is when cyclone has destroyed his home. After the cyclone has torn a farm to pieces, the neighbors gather and, without much price, rebuild the house and barn. They set up the fences and make it so that the victim can resume his op- erations. We must be Frances good neighbor in her hour of victory and suffering. We must go back to our ioneer days and get the spirit that was manifest in cooperative log-roll- ing, house-raising, corn-shucking and wheat harvesting.
 We must be "neigbbors" with our their brothers. We must divide with French fellow citizens. We must be

to the wounded, and in disposlng o1 the dead. It is also a part of the ' mans work to cheer up the boys along the way.
 eThat isn't a hard matter, for the~> average American doughboy is usms-- ly cheerful individual. I recall that we were hiking through the mud and rain--it always rains in France the mud came up over our ankles, and it was as dark night as one has ever seen. All at once we heard the first gun of a big American offen- sive. A lad shouted to his pal, Cheer up, Sann-it's all for democra- cy,' Sure yelled Sam, well make this a fit place for democrats to live in'-Sam is an Arkansas boy.
 The " man never has minute to himself-there is always something he can do for the someone of them to talk of home and the deeper things of life. He becomes a warm friend of nearly every chap in his battalion, and when, after battle, he can help the wounded, and assist in giving a Christian burial to the dead, and still serve the boys in the line who are ready to make the su- preme sacrifice, he feels that it was we'll worth his while to cross the ocean and join the forces of the asso- citation in their good work.
 The work in the Third Division was well arranged by the Y. M. c. A. that there was no need of the other war work organizations, but in oth- CT Divisions the Knights of Colum- bus, the Salvation Army, and others are doing wonderful things. The Salvation Army lassie with her doughnuts and coffee is making a wonderful hit with the boys.
 T hope that there will be no slump in the War Work campaign because the war, the actual fighting has ceased. The need is even greater now for all the war work organiza- tions. There will be much leisure time for the boys now-we cannot hope to have them haek with Us for long, long time tasy will need looking after more than ever Eefore, and it is up to the people at home to see that the necessary funds are raised to support the organizations that are doing such a noble work. Our boys will come home cleaner and better for having gone oyer, provided : the home influences supplied by these agencies can continue until the last lad comes marching home. Arkan- sas has always done her part and more in all the war drives--I know she will not fail in this critical time.'

A charming hospitality Thurs
day afternoon of last week among
the young society set. was the
Bridge party given by Mrs. M.
H. Fowlkes in honor of her at
tractive niece, Miss Lucy Fowlkes,
a bride of this week. After
greeting the honoree and her
house guest, Miss Courtney Watts,
the guests were directed to their
places at the card tables, and the
game was entered into with zest
and enthusiasm; not too much,
however, to enliven the afternoon
with gay and merry chatter.
The cards were finally laid aside
and the hostess served a salad
course and accessories.
Miss Mossie Long won the
prize, a box of Love Me" pow
der. Mrs. Fowlkes presented
to the bride to be" an exquisite
pink crepe de chine neglige, trim
med in georgette and radium
lace.
