So we shall shop for Christmas as we should
were he beside US;
Get all the things we know he'd love, and
put them in his room
And we shall be as glad for him as ere his
going tried us,
And mistletoe and holly red shall light the
perfumed gloom.
And so this box 80 long, so high, so wide"
shall go and find him
Out underneath Old Glory, in the trench
or on the sea,
And he will know our loving is beside him
and behind him,
And that our hearts reach out to him
wherever he may be.
And we will put list of all his gifts in it to
send him,
And send him sprig of holly and sprig
of mistletoe,
And smiling pictures of US all-Oh. God, keep
him and defend him,
Who will be serving far from us while
Christmas candles glow

From Carroll Fest.

Oct. 81 have been working quite
hard the past three weeks, busy from
daylight until after dark, so | just
got time to make up my bed before
Sights OUT. We moved from our
good quarters to here to help the boys
out On the front, so therefore if you
have been following the air service
reports you can see we have been far
from inactive, but have not been able
to do as much as we could if the wea-
ther conditions had been more favor
able. The pilots added eight more
Huns to their credit and my lieuten-
ant has four to his credit now; but
now he is transferred to another
squadron of which he has command
and must break in new pilot.
Some of the stories they tell of
the fights they have been in sound
like fiction and would not have been
believable few years ago.
One of our pilots, with four others,
went out on patrol about $50 one
morning and met up with flight of
eight boches-2 biplane Rumplies and
6 monoplaneAlbatros planes. They
got four of them, but two jumped on
one of the pilots and forced him down.
AS he was helpless with both guns
jammed, he dove with his motor open
and just Strengthened out short dis
tance from the earth and set his
plane down in an old grain field back
of the German lines. The two boches
above him, so he played possum and
acted like he was dead with his motor
idling. After they left, he took off
again and crossed the lines amid a
rain of machine gun fire. His plane
was literally shot to pieces, 22 holes
altogether; some came within six in
ches of his head, others hitting the
sparrs, struts and ribs, one of them
setting the plane on fire, which burnt
a small hole in the fabric, but fortu-
nately went out.
l thus have very interesting exper-
fences to tell of, but you sure have
to hand it to the men who fight in
those planes. l sure would like to be
one of them, too.
l saw a pretty sight today when
close to 100 Liberty planes went over
and dropped few christmas pack
ages" from us to the Boches and they
carry two to four each. All planes
returned but one. If this war lasts
till spring there will be so many
planes in the air that the sky will be
black with them. | just finished in
stalling a new motor tonight and she
runs fine. got 81 hours out of the
other one, which gives me the squad
ron's record for the length of time a
motor has run, and am hoping to do
as well with this one.
Well, there is lot of peace talk !
going on now, but don't think it !
will turn out to be much and | hope ,
it is true that Austria and Bulgaria :
have quit, and look for them to con- s
tinue all winter.

THE FLU QUARANTINE
IS LIFTED
Public Gatherings Permitted
Schools, Churches, Etc,
Open Sunday.

The restrictions against the hold
ing of public gatherings on account
of the influenza epidemic will be re-
voked Sunday, and churches and the
atres will be permitted to open on that
day. The order also covers pool halls,
and the amusements furnished by
those places will be resumed Monday.
Schools Open Monday.
The schools throughout the state
will reopen Monday. Teahers and
pupils are returning to take up their
interrupted work. While no definite
plans have been formulated as to the
method to be adopted for making up
the time lost, it is quite certain that
no vacation viii be given at Christ
mas time, excepting Christmas day.
The suggestion is made that the hours
of each days session be heightened,
and some suggest that an extra ses-
sion on Saturday might be advisable.
This, however, it is said, would work
somewhat of a hardship with students
who are holding positions outside of
school hours, thereby assisting in
their maintenance at school Some
plan will no doubt be decided upon
very soon- 1t is suggested that parents
watch the health of the child very
closely and keep any child from school
who has grip symptoms, thereby pre-
venting the possible spread of any
contagious disease.

DON'T HAVE TO WRITE.

Through another means the an. nouncemenr has been made that fl any citizen will write to certain Lit tie Rock addresses they will receive a copy of the proposed new consti- tutton, which is to be passed on by the voters in December
 You don't have to write for the copies if you don't want 10 do so. We have plenty of copies for distribution here at the Sentinel Record office, and they are free. They were print cd and sent here that the intelligent voters might have the opportunity of passing on this issue in their own personal judgment
 If you are interested and care fos copy or copies of this proposed new constitution, and will call at the Sentinel Record office, you will re- ceive copies without the necessity of having to write to any one about it.
 Our country friends are particu- larly urged when they come to the city to stop by and get copies for themselves and their friends. Tie new constitution is very important 70 us all. The judgment of the peo- ple at large on it is necessary. there- fore that judgment should be intelii- gently passed, and may not be passed inteiligently unless one has delyed Into the many changes proposed.

NEED cF cURTAiLMENT.

There is nothing just so important to American affairs TOW as the i'm mediate curtailment of the tremend ous expenses that have been incurred in war time.
 The situation became in war times so that people did not talk In millions any more, but billions. They did not realize and do not realize yet what billions may mean, but the fu- ture Generations will know
 War Is an expensive game. as will be proved when the summary is made up. It is the most expensive game the world has ever known.
 The sooner the American congress, which is really the bulwark of the people, gets down to the matter of sincere retrenchment the better es- abolished will be the party that has carried America through the most trying period of the worlds history.
 Nobody objected to hig expendl- lures when these were being made in the support of q war that had to be won, else everything was lost But on the other hand the sooner the unit of millions gets back into the minds of the administration, to replace the unit of billions, the sooner will the people know that in reconstruction as in war. the party may he depend cd upon.

ITS A GREAT ASSET.

Hot Springs is honored this Week with the presence of an official Of the government genuinely and sin cerely interested iu the development of all the public parks and grounds belonging to the government.
 Alr stephen Mather is interested In milking the playgrounds and parks Of America worth while He wants them to be government institutions, rather than reservations.
 And while the beautifying of play grounds are uppermost with him. he also recognizes that this reserva- ton, which combines playground and health institution. Is doubly important 10 the people and the suc- cess of his big plans
 AIr. Mather is with us for a period making his own estimates. He is getting his own impressions. That in itself means much for ns and our future. for one of our shortcomings in the past has been the failure to attract the personal attention of men in position to render genuine assist ance when their interest was arous- ed
 Nothing could prove more conclu- sively the interest that Mfr. MatherI has in Hot Springs than his bringing here as his guests a party of hl3 newspaper friends from the Iarge cities. Nothing is more needed than publicity. Hot Springs is congratu- iating herself today that Mir. stephen Mather ls here for a period It bodes we'll for this government resort anal its future.
