DOING YOUR BEST.

The present European war ha.
brought into use many brand
new words and phrases and has
given many old ones d fa-hiona
bic popularity. Many Of these
are only the technical terminoI-
ogy of war, but a few have equal
" forceful application to tbe
pursuits of peace and these vii
undoubtedly survive with reaI
si@nt.c ne.
Gre such Is doing your bit, g
which really means doing YOU
best.
1t is really freighted with
meaning. that phrase, and means
quite as much in whatever ac-
tlvitE Of life It Is used.
Are you doing your best" in
the many spheres Of activity into
which your daily routine carries
you.
Are YOU doing your best as
a business man to make trade
conditions more fair and equita-
BILE? Are you broadminded and
public spirited, seeking to make
yours the best town, the cleanest
town, the most moral town along
the road?
Are you doing your best as
church member, attending the
services, helping the finances?
Or are you one OF those whose
religious utilization consists en-
tireIy in having your name on
the church register, and stand
ing off criticising, while others
provide the motive power that
keeps the institution alive and
ready to serve you when your
hour of need arrives?
Are you doing your best" as
a citizen. in the big busy world
OF affairs? Are you extending
yourself just a little to see that
politics re kept as clean as they
should be, and IN the affairs of
your town or neigh borhood are
you seeking to promote condl-
tons that will make for the great
est good of the greatest number?
Are you doing your best
backing your government now
in its time of stress and stor m?
Are you by word and deed help
ing in every way possible. or
ere you taking advantage of the
peculiar conditions to your own
gain, financial, or otherwise?
And, in still larger sphere.
are you doing your best to
make this world just a little
better and a little bit brighter?'
Are you conducting yourself not
always with an eye to your own
I'M mediate gain? Are YOU Just a
little careful that no other indI- |
fldual shall lose faith in human
nature through any act Of yours?
DO you realize what a vast share |
ot the responsibility is yours in
maintaining the far name Of bu.
nanlty, and are you dong You r !

HOLD TO LIBERTY BONDS
When Anyone Seeks to Buy Them Proposition Should Be h.
 vestioated. |

The effort to separate Liberty Bond holders not familiar with stock and bond values fro n their Liberty Bonds has taken new turn. The manipu- lators, instead of offe- to buy tho bonds at inadequate prices. offer irl eE- change for them the stocks and bonds of various wildcat corporations, whose face value is large. but whose actual value little or nothing.
 The safest investment in the world Is a Liberty Bond. For a patriotic American, Liberty Bonds are the bess investment in the world. It is not only a wise thing to hold them; it is a patriotic thing to do. The soldier that takes a trench and then voluntarily. gives it up is not to be compared with one who takes trench and holds it against the enemy.
 And American who buys Liberty Bond and then sells il is not So sood an American as ore who buys bond and holds it. This does not apply, however, to one who sells his bond be- cause ol real necessity. here -s leglti- mate trading in Liberty Bonas waaaA the treasury recognizes.

 Where he is dissatisfied with fancied conditions, the employe also does rot work as efficiently as where he makes himself satisfied with conditions.
 There is no doubt in the minds of labor officials that the vast majority of workers already have speeded up to the maximum, and they, conse- queEtly. are exempting these from their calculations.

Camp Pike Notes

AfkanSaS agaln came well to the front in the doings at Camp Pike last week. Brian Frazier, that former Mariana haberdash-t CT mar who has blossomed out into the leading "Y" physical di- rector ct the Infantry Central Officers Training School. broke the spell st that institution, ath- leticallg speaking, and has begun to put basketball aud football On their map. Dr. A. Caisson, that Russellyille dentist with an artillery eognomen, startled the natives with his ability as a song bird,st |" 34. and H. l.. Dish eroon, ex-Eot Springser, brought 1 elood cut Of turnip, spiritually l speaking when he awakened the consciences of some 2,500 men at the Stoekade and got record 1 for Christian declarations at the camp. All operations were in virgin field and on hitherto un- troddeu paths, so the achieve ments were all the more satisfac. 1 tory.
 Sergeant John B. Rodgers, a Hot Springs boy who has been in the Medical Department at Camp Pike for some months past. left last week for Baltimore to report for special training l He bas been in charge of work | along social hygiene lines for some time past, and it k said tha5 he will be given the advan- taee of special training at Johns Hopkins University which may later fit him for a commission in the medical department.
 It's Sergeant Chalmers B, Boles Of the Ambulance Corps, l if you please. Sergeant Boles l was jumped from a corporalship last week, much to the delight of 1 his former associates in the ''Y" headquarters building at Camp Pike and to his fellow Arkansaw. yers. For the Sergeant is from Fayetteville and his native town Is proud of him as are the "Y"I men. Sergeant Boles was one of 5hose good fellows who aie not contented with bullet dodg-I ing simply because his physical disabilities would give him full! right to do so Though for many yesrs 8 partial cripple and well entitled to remain in the "" service though of draft age, he tried repeatedly to get into the army and finally succeeded. He Is a great fayorite and received many congratulations on his pro- motion.
