.FR|END[ESS MEN
 IN ARMY TO JET
 XMAS GIFTS ALSO

The war department has arranged to distribute Christmas labels for men now embarking. Arrangements have also been completed whereby soldiers who have no friends or relatives will receive Christmas boxes There has been an instant demand for this from all over the country, as the big, warm hearted men and womeIf of America have felt that every boy should be re- membered
 The army has distributed labels to every soldier in the expeditionary forces. and those without families or friends will send them to the National Red Cross headquarters. Each divi- sion is to have a quota, the western states to have the first as they are greater distance from the shipping point. The Pacific division is asked to supply 10000 boxes for this purpose and this number will. be apportioned among the chapters and the labels for Warded immediately on their receipt from Washington.
 Many expressions of their thought fitness and generous sympathy for such boys have been received at divi- sion headquarters, but no satisfactory reply could be made to suggestions along. this line until the present in structions, just received from Wash ington, were issued.
 There is no doubt in the world that many long to chip in" the whole na- tion is ready and willing to do so, for America loves and reverences every soldier who bears her arms and up- holds her honor. The Pacific coast has first holders on playing Santa Claus to the lads with no loved one to look to at the time when all the world is bathed in the spirit of giving. If they get as much pleasure out of it as those who are privileged to send them, it will be an eventful, Yuletide over There.

 PEOPLE TO lkVESTIGAI E
INSISTS THERE IS NO NECESSITY FOR RAILROAD TRACK BEING
 PLACED ON GRAND AVENUE.

l read an article in the Sentinel Record last Friday morning, which stated that several business men of this city had signed a petition di
 rected to the city commission asking them to pass an ordinance granting q railroad franchise to the M D. and q. railroad, over that part of Grand avenue. from Valley street east to the city limits. The reason given for this petition was that the busi- ness men realized, that if the three railroads were connected, the freight rates would De lowered, and 1 write this article at this time to show those men who are being misled that the freight rates can be lowered, and the railroads can be connected with an interchange switch without giy
 ing Grand avenue over to the rail- roads for a switch yard. About a year ago the Arkansas Railroad Com mission ordered the Iron Mountain and the Rock Island to connect about three miles from the city where these two roads cross, the matter was de- layed and contested by tho railroads, but was finally lost by them and l am reliably informed that the board of governors of the Business Mems League passed a resolution asking the Railroad Commission to defer the en- forcement of this order, but now the league is willing to ask the city com mssiOners to donate a city street to the railroad companies instead of hay ing the railroads comply with the or der of the railroad commission.
 The Nj. D and C. railroad and the Iron Mountain are connected now at point east of the Oaklawn race track and if the Iron Mountain and the Rock Island will comply with the order of the Arkansas Railroad Com mission then all three railroads will bt connected and our freight rates will be lowered without donating Grand avenue for switch yard

Secretary Round'ree Visits Hot Springs and Approves This City, Texas Route for This Government Improvement.

Secretary Roundtree. of the Bank head Highway Association, which is fast making rogress on a general highway from Washington to Los An geles, spent yesterday on the city, met with the Rotary Club at luncheon. and left in the afternoon much impressed with the idea of having Hot Springs on the Bankhead highway
 'l had been for three days looking over the plan to route this highway from Little Rock to Fort smith," said MT. Roundtree yesterday and | am glad that 1 came to this city. am surprised at the grat advantage of coming this way with our road, and believe that Hot Springs will be on the highway if the proper assistance is rendered
 Mir Roundtree stated frankly that Hot Springs had some substantial as- sistance in the matter of having place on the Bankhead road, because the people of Texas wanted the road to come into that state at Texarkana, and
 
 ance in the roadway from Texarkana 10 Fl Paso. 1000 miles in length.
 Under the Bankhead plan" said Mir. Roundtree, "the government goes 50-50 with the states in building high ways. The roads are to be post roads, or to be roads on which mail is car ried, and it is for the purpose of connecting Up post roads into gen. eral highway plan from our national capitol to Los Angeles that We arc now engaged We have substantial assurance of government support, and will be able to get this road work go- ing, regardless of the war, because the government more and more is rec oginizing the value of highways in war times Tn fact all the men closely Identified with war preparation are for government assistance for two big ross-the-country roads, one along he route of the Bankhead highway in the south. and the other the Lin- coin highway"
 Robert A Jones, leader in highway work here, spent some time with MT. Roundtree yesterday afternoon, show ing him mhat progress our county has made in road construction, and what was anticipated in the matter of con- meeting up with Texarkana, and also with western outlets for Colorad Springs. Mir Roundtree was surprised that we had made such progress. and felt certain that he would have hearts cooperation here. It was agreed that Bankhead Highway orsaniza ion would he formed in this city, to send delegates to convention later to be held at Little Rock, so that OFT ate

 MEN ALL WORKED
BUSINESS MEN, PROFESSIONAL MEM PREACHERS AND ALL
 JOINED IN CITY MOVEMENT
Every Indication Now That the City Win Be More Free of Result of the Blizzard Until Last of It Is Gone.

Hot Springs might well be proud of itself this morning.
 Yesterday business men. some pro- lessional men, our most progressive preachers, employees of all ranks. and lew women, took part in a general movement to rid Hot Springs of the eifort of the cold wave.
 Snow was shoyelled ice was picked loose and dug out, and most important of all, gutters were cleared so that the moderating weather would get in its fine work within a very short time.
 The ely went over the top" to- gether, and the results of the work of yesterday could not have been accom- plished within weeks in any other method than 5y a operative one.
 The sidewalks are clean now-of course there might be a very few in stances of exception, but the rule is that the sidewalks are all cleared, and that pedestrians may get out and walk the main thovoughfares without fear of slipping.
 There is snow in the s,-- eets vet, and lots of it, but the big job was done when the eutters were opened so that the melting process would be hurried
 The sun shone at intervals yester- day, not long at time, but every now and then Old Sol poked his nose out to take look at things. smiled |beneficiently but s,ingily, and then he was gone The first day that he fingers with US as many as seven hours on a stretch. the local situation

 Traffic yesterday was resumed on all the street car lines. That made things much easier, particularly for those who live some distance out The suburbanite was able to connect up with his home yesterday in almost as convenient a manner as during any ordinary period of bad weather.
 1t will take more work than that os yesterday to remove the thick ice fro nth walks, but then the work will not be so difficult later when tho thaw mas been % least paruaL es- terday the freeze was still on, and the ice stuck to the concrete walks like ,glue in most places.
 City Manager Weaver who yester- day took to the first line trenches with the boys, and shoveled as much snow and ice as the next one, urges that all who have wagons or men to assist in carrying on the work today notify him at once. He was very much pleased with the assistance rendered the Tyy yesterday and stat ed that with a little further co-opera- tion the city could be rid entirely of tbe snciw and ice. Wagons are need ed very badly in the removal of the snow if it is to be put out of sight before the train service begins to bring the crowd here.
