COMMUNITY COOPERATION
Copyrighted, Farm and Ranch
 Hollands Magazine.

It may be that your local stores are not as large, or as handsomely equipped as some of the big city stores, but you will agree with me that your mer- chants can not possibly enlarge or improve their business be- yond the extent justified by the amount of patronage accorded them.
 If you are interested in bring ing about better local shopping facilities, it is squarely up to you, and other residents of your Icommunity, to patronize home merchants, thus keeping your money at home, insofar as possi- ble, where it will circulate in var lous channels for the improve ment of the community.
 There are only two possible reasons why a person should re- main in any town or community: their duties demand it, or they simply like to live there. Isn't this true in your case?
 In either event it is to your distinct advantage to do every thing III your power to assist in improving local conditions. The community blongs to you, and your neighbors, and you are necessarily governed by condi- tiOns as they exist.
 A prosperous community is in every instance a desirable place in which to live, as it affords it's residents residents advantages and conveniences to the extent of it's prosperity, which invaria- Ibly is limited to, and controlled by the amount of local commer- cial activity.

WILLIAMS TAKES STEP
 TO CHECK BOARDING
Food Administrator Will Take Drastic Action to Stop the
 Hoarding of Food.

Determined to request no more, but to enforce the strong arm of the law against hoard ing of food products in general and those who purchase excess i've quantities of sugar and flour in particular, Hamp Will Hams, federal food administra- Ator for Arkansas, has issued one of the most drastic and sweeping orders since his appointment.
 The order was instructions to County food administrators 5 throughout the State to make 9 < personal inspection, with the as sistance of chiefs of police and sheriffs as special food investi- Sgators, ascertain where food products that could not possibly be used within a reasonable time are stored, and order that those possessing the same return the food to the stores where such goods were purchased. In other words, the ''big stick of the food administration is going to fall on those who have thus far seemingly imagined that the rules and regulations of the United States government were to be broken with impunity and the law made a joke of.
 This week the food adn1inis- trator will issue to the proper county officers supply of Food Purchase receipts and Declara- tions," i" which must be signed by every one purchasing flour and sugar. Any grocer selling these produts who does not compel the purchaser to sign such a receipt and declaration will get into ser ious trouble.
 The receipt contains a list of substitutes for flour. The pur- chaser is forced to specify the substitutes he has on hand. If he possesses no substitute and declines to buy any, the grocer

A TOAST TO THE FLAG
By JOHN D. DAILY.

Here's to the Red of it. There's not a thread of it, No, nor a shred of it In all the spread of it
 From foot to head, But heroes died for it, Faced steel and lead for it, Precious blood shed for it.
 Bathing it Red. Here's to the White of it. Thrilled by the sight of it, Who knows the right of it, But feels the might of it,
 Through day and night. Womanhood's care for it, Made manhood dare for it Purity's prayer for it
 Keeps 1t so White. Here's to the Blue of it Heavenly view of it, Star-spangled hue of it, Honesty's due of it,
 Constant and true. Here's to the whole of it, Here's to the soul of it, Stars, stripes and role of it, Red, White and Blue.

CHILDREN'S WORK
 IN THE RED CROSS
Junior Membership Campaign Meeting with Excellent
 Results.

The entrance of the children into the Red Cross Campaign, which is directed by the Depart ment of Junior Membership, is one of the most significant movements of modern times. The enthusiasm, energy and sympa- thy which they have displayed is only equalled in history by the famous" Children's Crusade in the thirteenth century.
 It is just beginning, but is growing into a movement of such strength and power that it promises to re-create old forms and give new life to educational values. These children have shown that they can work with a will which matches that of their elders and their intense in- terest is contagious. The way in which the children of the Southwest are responding to the Presidents call to sacrifice and service is most extraordinary. The wonderful membership re- suits reached by the Seniors in the recent Christmas Campaign bids fair to be surpassed by the Juniors.
 The Juniors are modern Cru saders in the best sense of the word and are fully determined to enroll under the Banner of the Red Cross and make a place in history which will reflect credit on their time.
 Below is an article by B. c. Forbes, outlining some of the work of the Junior Rd Cross.
 There will be work to do at home as well as abroad. It is not all work calling simply for dollars. In many cases the need will be for human sympathy, for neighborliness, for the kind word, for the little thoughtful act. When a million or more American soldiers have gone in- to battle there will be many fam flies in this country who will not need money but who will need friendship and guidance and com fort. The Red Cross aim to make sure that no soldiers family throughout the country is ne- glected in any way.
 If a mother be left with very young children and has no one to do little errands for her the Junior Red Cross will be com missioned to see that all neigh borly assistance be given. Not only so but the boys and girls of the Junior Red Cross will be taught how to make articles needed by the organization and also how to render simple first aid in case of injury, how to pre- vent drowning, accident and such like manifestations of the Red Cross spirit" Taken from the Colossus of Mercy" mag azine article by B. c.

 Of London Military Life
By LADY MARY

London, August 25.-It is difficult to tell nowadays whether American or Eng fish soldiers are most in the ascendant. London seems to be full of both kinds, with liberal sprinkling of French, ltai- ian and Serbian fighting men on leave to make the international element of our common endeavor all the more strik- ing and varied. The name of edough- boys'' seems now to be generally accept ed as one descriptive title for Americas s fighting forces. and if appearances count for anything, Uncle Sam's sons appear to be thoroughly at home in Mother Eng /, lands careful Keeping. Anyhow, those who are on leave from active service are apparently having real good time. to which end they are evidently being as- sisted by the youth and beauty femi- nine) of this little old town .S

Tt seems that every girl and woman here is making lemon lotion," says a well-known druggist, and the reason is because at the cost of small jar of ordinary cold cream they can prepare full quarter pint of a creamy lemon skin softener and complexion beautifier, by squeezing the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle containing three ounces of orchard white. Care should
 be taken to strain the juice through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman has known for years that lemon juice is used to bleach
