STRICT REGULATIONS.

Work or fight regulations of the United States War Department have been declared in Jefferson county and Pine Bluff. It is probable that this or der will affect many industries and persons engaged in divers employ ment
 The regulations were drafted at the instance of Provost Marshal Gen. eral Crowder and with the approval of Secretary of War Newton Baker. They have been enforced in several states and communities for several months.
 It is intended that essential indus tries. receive sufficient labor. This necessitating the drafting of the regu- lations. All of which is for the suc- cessful prosecution and the winning of the war.
 The draft boards have the discre- tionary powers as regards the limited classes of essential and nonessential occupations. Those that are made plain by the war department as strict ly non-essential bear no appeal from decisions of work or fight orders sent out by the boards. Many of the local industries and concerns anticipated the order and made arrangements ac- cordingly. Those that have not will now probably do so immediately. The industrial progress of the city and the business affairs will not be ham, pered by the enforcing of the order. It is not the desire of the government or of the officials that it should.

KEEP FARM ACCOUNTS.

With the rapid increase in price of materials and everything required to run 8 farm, it is now necessary that the farmer should keep records in or der to ascertain what is fair price to demand for his farm products. This is especially true if the farmer is to figure his profits on business basis,
 A Jefferson county planter visited local produce house few days ago and stated he desired to market his farm products. The merchant offered him stipulated sum for his farm produce. This was declined immediate with the explanation that the price offered did not compensate him for the planting and tending of the crop. this not including fair profit for the produce.
 The Pine Bluff merchant then re- qqested the farmer to show him by figures why the price offered was not equitable. This the farmer did in the space of few minutes from ledger tlgat he had brought with him to mar ket This record was up to the minute

CONDEMNED
 TO DEATH

This is not story of traitor or a German spy. It is the amazing recital case of Bright's disease. The doctors said it could not be cured. His con-
 dition was pronounced hopeless, not only by private physicians, but also by doctors at the hospital. He went nearly blind. On advice of physicians he started to a noted hospital in New Orleans to have an operation perform ed on his kidneys. But he never arriv- there. He got so much worse on the train that the train crew put him off thinking he was going to die. A good Samaritan took him in, nursed him and gave him medicine restoring him to health. If you are afflicted with Bright's disease, or any disease of the kidneys or bladder, by all means write for free copy of the "Hobo"
 booklet containing the story of Joe O'Brien, as we'll as sworn testimony from many others who testify they have been absolutely cured by the Hobo Kidney and Bladder Remedy.

which drove them back over the Marne, east of Extraordinary and northwest across the Vesle.
 One section of the Hindenburg line examined by British experts had a belt of wire eight yards deep, the wire being the size of a lead pencil and with barbs of an inch. About one hundred yards to the rear was the first German trench and behind the trench 100 yards apart were ferro- concrete positions built to hold from two to five machine guns. Behing these "pillboxes' were other machine guns emplacements.
 Behind the first line were belts of wire arranged in criss-cross geo. metrical pattern, and then, after an interval varying from several hun dred yards to half mile, was the second trench. With the object of preventing tanks from crossing it, the second trench was dug wide enough to act as trap when the big crawl CTS came along.

AMERICAN SNIPER
 WEARS EMERALD SUIT OF BURLAp
Use These Camouflage Suits With Great Success In
 the Voges Regions.

Behind American Lines in France, Oct. S.-(Correspondence of The As sOciated Press)-The American sniper wears a fantastic suit of green bur lap with tufts of raft, or Madagascar grass, sewed thickly all over the coat and trousers. The coat has a headpiece with eye-holes so that the sniper's head is completely enveloped.
 American troops in the Vosges have used these camouhage suits with great effect. The grass-covered bur lap is merged into the grass through which the sniper crawls and even when only twenty-five feet distance his presence cannot be detected.
 These suits are made by French women in the American camouflage station behind the lines.
 The disappearing building" is one of the curious contrivances of the camouf1age artists here. The building lis the size of a two-story frame. Viewed close at hand it stands out plainly enough, and even at 100 feet the cottage is quite clear. But at the distance which the enemy observa- tions would be made, or from an air plane at 5000 feet, the building does in fact disappear" This is done by the painting in great wavy lines of green and brown which, at a distance obliterate the straight lines of roof, gable. windows and doors, and trans form the whole structure into blur of green-brown color which blends into the grass and ground.
 '"rhat is the director of properties for David Belasco," said the escort, as we passed soldier. This dis closed that. besides, the artists of this camouflage coloring. there are we'll known actors. stage managers, scene painters, property directors and cin- ema artists.
 Colonel Pennion's camoufage force, besides, the 900 people here. has 2o0 more along the front-15 men and an officer with each American division erecting camoutlage devices and put ting into use dummies and decoys.

 Texas has profited materially from war activities. The Lone Star Repub- lie has more army cantonments than any other southern state. It is natur- al to presume that much money has been brought and expended in the state from this course. However, with this advantage Texas fell short.

----W. s. S.- CAUSE FOR CONGRATULATIONS.

The St. Louis Federal Reserve Dis trict fthe Fourth Liberty Loan was the first district officially lover the top" in the securing of it's quota. Pine Bluff is included in this district.
 This city contrived by a superhu- man effort to get over it's quota of $1,- 714,OO0 but it was a hard, quota to fill. But the wealthy citizens of lief ferson county saw that the reputation o fthe city and county was upheld.
 Thousands of small subscriptions ranging from $50 up to $500 were se- cured. However, these small subscrip- tions were insufficient to meet the quota. As a consequence the wealth. fer class were forced to more than double their original subscriptions. It is often been intimated previously and in the present loan that the whealty never subscribed to the Nut- most of their ability, financially to do so.
 The Liberty Loan records of Pine Bluff, Jefferson county and probably of other states and sections will prove this statement not to be based on fact or figures. In fact the wealthy in all four of the issues have responded literally. Many times the smaller fin ancially able institutions, and the man or person of moderate means has not only shown a hesitancy in pledging subscriptions but failed to contribute until it's hurts" The larger financial institutions and the wealthy probably did not have to make the same .sacri- flee but they came thru handsomely.
 Conditions in the south this year are not suspicious for "free and easy money" The Dallis district at all ac- counts has failed to meet it's quota. On Friday night it was ninety-four millions short.
 This is hard for the general public of Dixie to understand. The state of Texas 1t is generally known is one of the largest cotton producing states. It is also known the cotton situation is not propitious for the securing of ready money This naturally accounts for the poor showing of the Dallas district. But the state of Arkansas is

to the Mississippi country, and In hui

will be long time forgetting the name
Of this great father Of the modern
apple-growing industry, the Christian
Herald states.
Johnny Appleseed was born In
Springfield, Mass. in the year It's,
eventful In American history in more
ways than one. About the year 1901
he emigrated from Massachusetts,, join

In the territory between Massachu-

Mr.. Chapman was a familiar figure
He foresaw the tide Of migration go1
Ing to the West, and seeing the need Of
fruit, devoted his life to its culture.
Gathering all the apple seeds he could
secure In his native state he would
make long trips west, planting the
seed and supplying the scattered set,
tiers with enough to provide them with
dependable orchards. The result was
thousands Of producing apple orchards
throughout this vast territory.

a variety of garments to boot. Folded
