45 Men and Women of Jefferson
 County Invest $1, ,000 in w. s. 5.
Committee Headed by J. F. Mcintyre Pushing Campaign to Obtain 400 Persons on Lst-To Put
 Subscribers Big Sign.

Forty-five Pine Bluff and Jeffer- son men and women have subscribed ,000 each for War Savings Stamps, according to statement issued last night D. B. Niven, county chairman, and J. F. Mcintyre, chairman of the $1 ,O00 campaign.
 MT. Mcintyre has a list of 400 per- sons in the county who are able to invest $1,000-the limit-in war stamps, and his committees are now at work on the campaign. In state ment issued by MT. Niven he points out that in the original campaign men and women and children of small means were the ones who bought most of the war stamps, that the wealthier persons did not go the limit. These A big sign has been erected at Second and Main streets. It will be pointed today and tomorrow the names of the "$1 ,000 men and women" will be painted on it..
 MT. Niven's statement follows:
 "To the Citizens of Pine Bluff and
 Jefferson County:
 "Your chairman appointed by the State Chairman has been working for the past two days compiling list and getting things systematically organ ized for the purpose of making cam paign for the balance of funds to make up our quota of the amount al loted to us by our government for the purchase of War Savings Stamps and in checking over the N ,00 fund, we have only been able to check 45 names, which is listed herewith that are subscribers for War Savings Stamps in the amount of $1 ,0O0 and if there is anyone that has subscribed for the $1,000 allotment of these stamps whose name does not appear on this list, we will request that you notify Chairman J. F. Mcintyre, at once, in order that he may add your name to the list already compiled.
 "We wish to say also that any per son who has subscribed or purchased any amount of these War Savings Stamps, and desires to increase their purchase to $1,000, which is the total amount anyone can subscribe, we will be only too glad to receive your sub- scription. In other words, if you wish to increase your subscription to $1 ,000 it will only be necessary that you sign the card for the balance of the amount it will require to make your purchases to the amount of $1 ,OO0..
 "We find in checking over the pur chase of War Savings Stamps that the salaried people, both white and color ed, and the small children have done their duty; but we also find the peo pie who are able to purchase these stamps in the amount up to $1 ,000 are very few as compared to those who are in position to do so, and the com- mittee is very desirous to have as many people who can do so take those stamps up to $1,000 in order to raise the amount that is necessary for us to get our quota.
 s"As you all know, it would be inn possible for us to expect to raise this sum of money by having people sub- scribe to it who make their living on salaries and -hy their day labor, and the children who attend the schools.

BY-PpOOUCT COAL
 SHORTAGE GROWING
Government May Have to Further Curtail Supply to Many
 Industries.

Washington, Aug. 15.-Shortage of by-product coal, essential to steel pro- duction, including the smokeless va riety essential to the navy has reached such alarming proportions, it was learned today, that the government may have to curtail so-called lesser essential industries more drastically then contemplated when the fuel need of war industries first made restric- tions on consumption necessary.
 The fuel administration is now talk ing, wherever it can be found, every ton of this grade of coal from these in- tries which may use other grades, in cluding steam coal, just as we'll. With the government steel requirement. ap- preaching the 23,000,000 ton mark for the reminder of this year and many blast furnaces threatened with shut down through lack of by-product coal, the fuel administration and war indus tries board are joining forces not only to stop private boarding but to develop additional coal fields.
 The new r<ilroad administration is being urged to authorize track exten- sions to new coal fields.

Be Careful in Using
 Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
 The best thing to use is just plain mul.: si6ed cocoanut oil, for it is pure and entirely .greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or any, thing else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months.
 Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about teaspoonful IS all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy father, cleanses thor oughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust. dirt and dandruff.
