A.O,U.W. OFFER
 VALUABLE PRIZES FOR NEW MEMBERS
Fees Dispensed With Dur. ing Sixty-Day Member
 ship Campaign Here.

John R. Frazer, master workman of the Arkansas Ancient Order of United Workmen, spent yesterday here aiding Grand Medical Examiner J. w. John, and Master Workman Claude Monk and Record and Finan- cier Oscar G. Keeler, of the local A. o. U. w. lodge, in launching a sixty day campaign for new members. in which handsome prizes are to be awarded those members of the lodge bringing in the largest number of ap- plications. These prizes, purchased yesterday, and on display in the win doWs of Gottleib's ieWelry store, are:
 Handsome diamond ring, to be awarded to lady bringing in largest number of accepted applications.
 Bracelet watch, to be awarded lady bringing in second largest number of accepted applications
 Handsome watch, to be awarded gentleman bringing in largest num- Der of applications.
 Initiation Fees Reunited. MT. Frazer announced that the grand lodge has granted special dispensation to Pine Bluff lodge Mo- 36 to remit the initiation and medical examination fees during this sixty day campaign. This will permit ap- plicants for membership to enter and obtain the benefit of the insurance without cost, save the monthly assess 1 ments and lodge dues.
 The grand master of Arkansas 1 WOrkmen expressed himself as being highly gratified at the constant growth of the lodge here, and of the quality of it's membership. He spoke in complimentary terms of the man. ner in which officers of the local branch are handling the affairs of the fraternity. He was pleased over the plans being made by the Pine Bluff lodge to occupy it's own home, seem- ing as delighted over these arrange ments, as he is over the completion of the grand lodge home in Little Rock, which is to be formally dedi- cated late in April.
 We occupy our handsome new home in Little Rock today" he said last night, but we are planning a great gathering of members of the A. O. II. w. in the latter part of April. when we will have our formal dedi- cation exercises.
 Our business is growing wonder fully" Mir. Frazer continued "In Jan uary, 1916, our business in this state amounted to S92,0CO. In January, 1917, it had grown to s20S,00O and in January, 1918. it had reached total of $452,o00. It is especially gratify- ing to note the big increase in mem- hership among the ladies and large number of ladies' clubs are being or ganized throughout the state. The presence of the ladies adds to the social features of the lodge and this results in better attendance at the sessions of the local lodges. The Pine Bluff lodge already has mem hership of $50 and we expect 400 new members will be added in the cam naien that is being launched in con- nection With the new lodge home here. We expect to put on a special advertising campaign in Pine Bluff in connection with this campaign and we expect it will be a big success, and we attribute big portion of our suc- cess to the publicity we have secured through the newspapers"

 When Bathc Became Fashionable.
 Baths first came into fashion in the sos, according to some recollections in the "Cornhill' of George Pollock, who died last year at the age of ninety-four. They caused much annoyance to an old colonel because they incumbered off, cers' luggage. "These young men," he complained, keep washing themselves till there is not bit of natural smell about them." The only unpardonable smell was, of course, tobacco. Even onions were preferable. - London Globe.

John Lobert, who will coach the West Point baseball team this year, still retains the speed which made him famos in the National league. In a novelty race held at Oriental Park race track in Havana Lobert pitted his speed against two race horses, two automobiles and two mo- torcycles. Under the conditions on the race Lobert had to cover 535 yards, the horses three-quarters of a mile, the autos seven-eights of mile, and the motorcycles one mile and a sixteenth. Lobert, running in rare form, captured the event, beating one of the motorcycles over the tape by the margin of one foot.

SHIPPERS ARE URGED
TO HASTEN CARS

| W. G. McAdoo, director general of
railroads, has just issued most earn
est appeal TO shippers and to everyone
in any way interested in freight trans
portation to unload and release cars
with all possible expedition.
He calls attention to the circum-
stance throughtlesly overlooked by the
average shipper. that every hour car
is detained unnecessarily adds danger
ously to freight congestion and is more
instrumental than any other one thing
in causing disastrous freight block
AIDES.
Individual shippers are apt to feel
that an hour or two, .or possibly day,
does not amount to much. while the
haste necessary would inconvenience
him considerably and entail additional
cost. He forgets that hundred thou
sand others are feeling and acting the
same way, that the aggregate delay
means hundreds of thousands of days
of lost efficiency, and that this stu
pendous waste causes the congestion
that finally breaks down the system.
Mr.. McAdoo is not making this ap-
peal through any considerations of per-
sonal gain or profit to the railroads,
but as matter of patriotism. and ma
tional safety.

TAGGERS RAISE MONEY FOR
FATHERLESS CHILDREN

Some of the fatherless children in
France will benefit as a result of the
community Christmas tree. The COM
mittee having that in charge was
ably assisted by another group of eff
fcient workers who sold tags to the
Christmas shoppers and secured the
sum of $146. This will care for four
fatherless children. The proceeds to-
gether with the generous donations of
e. G. Wolfram, Arthur Mulberger and
AL Price will swell the number to
seven children. These gentlemen each
subscribed for child, the sum being
$50. This money will be turned over
to the county committee to help fill
the quota for Jefferson county.
The generous gifts of the gentle
men named came without solicitation
and is therefore dOubly welcome.

8 o'clock, in time for early church
services. Again at $50 a car leaves
the city for the limits, returning
shortly before 10 o'clock in time for
the later church services. These two
trips give church goers along the line
of the interurban a service which is
appreciated.
Formerly the cars made two city

WHERE HINDUS ARE SUPREME
Have No Equals In Balancing, Rope
Dancing and Other Performances
OF Like Nature.

'I have seen many balancing, rope
dancing and tumbling performances in
circuses and theaters, but they are not
equal to those of the Hindus in India"
says a traveller "It is not unusual in
India to see girls in their teens bal
ancing themselves on their heads
with their heels in the air, or walking
on their hands and their feet with
their bodies bent in curious postures.
I once saw performer in India
place her head in hole 20 inches
deep and emerge with bracelet that
was concealed in the sand.
"One of the most interesting per-
formances is that Of women who dance
on ropes. One plays a musical in
strument, while the other goes through
gyrations, holding a number Of ar
ticles In her hands and taking care
not to drop them. The Hindus exc
cute any number of swOrd-balancing
feats. The most difficult perhaps is
that in which the point of sword
is placed on the chin Of the per-
former"

alleys from January 5 to 10 inclusive
All of the entrance money will go for
prizes and there will be special prizes
for high score and all events. The
four alleys at Langes will be put In
perfect condition for the tourney. The
state bowlers already know how this
city is looked upon in the bowling
pastime Watertown went away over
the top when the state meet was held
here in 1916 and since then bowling
has been on the upper stride in this
city. Several entries from GAINESVILLE,
Milwaukee and Madison have already
been sent in, and teams from the
northern part of the state will no
doubt be on deck when the tourney
opens.
The list of entries at this tourna-
ment will doubtless be considerably
larger than at any previous tourney.
Now that the war is over there is a
marked revival in all lines of. sport
which includes the bowling game. In
formation may be had by addressing
H. F. LANCE, who has the tourney in
charge. Every courtesy will be shown
