Lassies Furnish Soldiers
With Fruit.
Trims Made At Night TO Boys
On Guard.

With the American Troops in France,
Oct. 26th. A few members of the Sal
vation Army, American Section, started
out after dark few days ago as no one
can go very near the front until then.
We passed through several little towns
and finally arrived in village where
there were only three civilians left. The
place was badly shot to pieces. From
here on we had to put on our steel nell
NETS and have our gas masks at alert,
which means hooked up under our chin
so as to be ready for instant use. Inc
soldiers can adjust theirs in six seconds.
We went up as far as we could in our
old Ford. Finally the guide said we could
90 no further in the machine. That night
we had lot of oranges for the men, so
we shoudered the fruit and started out
on foot.
Without speaking word we passed
into the night along the shell town road
in single file. 1t is bad road in the day
time as it is within range of the enemy
guns and under constant German obser-
walton. A little way down the road the
guide whispered that battalion of men
was waiting near the bushes along the
roadside to relieve men coming from the
trenches.
He asked if we wanted to give some OF
these soldiers oranges and Of course, we
said we did. Suddenly All officers name
came through the pitch darkness in
hoarse whisper and we came up to men
laying along the struggling ditch, half OF
them asleep.
1t was an interesting experience to 60
along that line feeling for hands which
were stretched up for est to putan orange
in each one of them. We found guards
everywhere and it was rather fun to give
them an orange after they had challeng-
ed US. When you hear sharp command
to "halt" in very dark place where
you least expect it, you stop quickly and
answer about as fast as you can. That
night we got home about two in the
morning.
The men are keen for the oranges we
bring them. Not long ago we went by
one camp where soldiers were just lining
up for mess. They quickly broke line
and the last we saw of them they were
scrambling like bunch of school boys
the case of fruit we dropped off without
stopping.
1t it is really case of your dollars for
their doughnuts and their oranges. you
can do your bit the week of Nov. llth,
to 18th, when the call will go throughout
the country for $l7O, 500, 600 for the War
Relief Fund for the seven organizations
which.include- M. C. A., Y. W. c. A.
The National Catholic War Council, The
Jewish Welfare Board. The American
Library Association, The War Camp
Community Service and the Salvation
Army. The Salvation army may be able
to supply your boy with oranges just
when he needs them most.

MEMBERSHIPS IN
 RED CROSS LAPSE

Rev. H. A. Stowell, chairman of the Pine Bluff chapter of the Red Cross society, yesterday issued the follow ing:
 "There must be at least 300 citizens of Pine Bluff whc. did not renew their Red Cross memberships during the Christmas drive. Such memberships where annual, have now expired. They should be continued and it is highly desirable that this be done immediate ly so that such memberships may read from July 1, 1918 to July 1, 1919 It will make the work of the officers much easier and more accurate if this is done. Of course, we are glad to receive new members at any time Membership fees may be paid to Mr. E. B. Bloom or Mrs. Rowland in the Chamber of Commerce or to the ladies in charge of the sewino rooms in the Citizens bank building and those in charoe of the surgical dressings room Mrs. Leo M. Andrews, who is chair man of the membership committee, will also receive subscriptions These pecple will give the official receipts. And all those who receive subscrip- tions are requested to make duplicate records of them. In every case the names and addresses must be written out in full as well as legibly. Colored memberships should be designated This for the reason that if the colored people form a branch they must have credit for every member of their race who joins such branch. One record of the members is kept by Mrs. Andrews as chairman of the membership com- mittee and the other by E. B. Bloom as secretary of the chapter Illegible writing and lack of addresses during the former campaigns have caused us much trouble"

HIGH HEELS PUT
 CORNS ON TOES
Tells Women How to Dry Up Corn So it Lifts Out Without
 Pain.

Modern high-heeled footwear buck les the toes and produces corns, and many of the thousands of hospital cases of infection and lockjaw are the result of woman's suicidal habit of trying to cut away these painful pests.
 For little cost there can be obtain ed at any pharmacy ai quarter of an ounce of a drug called freezone, which is sufficient to rid ones feet of every hard or soft corn or callus without the slightest danger or incon- venience. A few drops applied directly upon the tender, aching corn stops tho soreness and shortly the entire corn, , root and all, lifts right out. It is a sticky subsance, which dries the mo- ment it is applied, and, thousands of men and women use it because the corn shrivels up and comes out with out inflaming or even irritating the surrounding tissue or skin. Cut this out and try it if your corns bother you.--Advt.

Jump ing from one of the embrasures. Jasper mounted the colors, tied them tc staff and held them in position under a bot fire until another flagstaff was brought. For this q commission was offered him but he declined 1t through distrust of his qualifications. On an other occasion he ana another sergeant named Newton attacked British guard of ten men and released some prisoners the guard were conveying to Savannah. A township in Jasper coun- ty 1e named Newton in honor of Jas per's companion on this occasion.

Realizing that the public has a surfeit of such views, the Fox com pany arranged it's story in such fash ion that it was found unnecessary to fire single shot during the taking of the picture.
