TWELVE MODERN TRIBES IN '. W.
 CAMP AIGN HERE
Membership Drive Organi-
 zatlon Perfected at Meet ing Last Night.
(By Eunice NOrriS.O

Qllte a large num0er of people met at the Y. w. c. A. nome last night, preparatory to the big membership drive which is now under way. Mrs. PoWel presided over the meeting, and after few familiar hymns were sung, she explained the general plan of the drive. Inspirational talks were made by Rev. George T. Steph- ems and his wife,
 The plan for this drive or cam Dalgn is to divide the city into twelve districts, and to assign to each dis trlct one captain with two lieuten- ants, and as many workers as pos- slble to obtain, these to be known as tributes. The captains are as fol- lows: Mrs. Frank Thompson, Mrs. w. w. Taylor, Mrs. T. M. Hooker, Mrs. T. E. Adams, Mrs. l.. F. Hut, Mrs. A. H. Rowell, Mrs. Favre Cason, Mrs. J. H. Means, Mrs. Leo M. An drews, Miss Marry Lindsay, Mrs. J. A. Mcleod, and Mrs. J. G. Taylor. The twelve tributes are Reuben, Simon, Levi, Issachar, Zebulm, Joseph, Ben jamln Dan, Naphtah Cad, Asher.
 This drive is for new members and the tributes have pledged tc canvass every home in the city. Although the tribbes are composed of the mem bers who were present last night, the captains may better them by adding old members of the Y. w. who were not at the meeting last night and set them to- working.
 Anybody is privileged to ask for new hny worker to keep in close touch with at least one of the commanding of ficers of her tribe, and the officer in turn will report to Mrs. Powell as to the memberships, and cards will be filled out. The cards may be og- tained by calling at the home, or they will be later mailed out. It is urged that if in doubt on any little subject whatever, phone Mrs. Powell first. She is at the Y. w. home, the tele- phone number of which is 799.
 During the meeting at the Y. w.. home last night. long distance mes sage from Miss Byrnes at Hot Springs announced that the Y. w. C. A. drive ir that city is progressing rapidly, and about 800 new members have been obtained in cnly three days. Surely, if that home of trans tents can in that short while get that many new members, Pine Bluff, the ideal city of homes, can do very much better. It is hoped by the leaders of cur drive, that the campaign may be closed in about week or ten days, and have a big wind up meeting at the tabernacle. The captains, lieu tenants. and all members, old and new, are requested to meet at the Y. w. home on next Tuesday night, to have final report on the drive, and see just what Pine Bluff women have done in this noble work

ALLIES GAINING IN SHIPBUILDING
 ON SUBMARINES

Washington, March 5.-Steady in creases. in tonnage mobilized by the transatlantic trade and allied suc- cesses against the submarine are be- lieved by officials here to be just cause for optimism, altho they agree Sir Eric Gedden is right in saying the full output of American shipyards will not be available for a considerable time. There is limit to shipbuilding and limit to submarine building, one official said today, but the Germans are more limited than the United States, and victory will be in sight when "the 50 50 turn is made on the submarine"

TO BEDSIDE OF HUSBAND.

Philadelphia, March 5.-A message to Mrs. J. H. Bell, teacher of art at Henderson Brown College of this city, brought the news of the serious illness of her husband, Maj. J. H. Bell at Fort Sill, Okla. Mrs. Bell, accompanied by R. J. Dougan of this city, left Satur, day night to be at the bedside of her husband. A message has been re- ceived from them stating that Major Bell is not expected to recover. Major Bell formerly was practicing physl- clan of this city, but about two years ago received commission in the med- ical department of the army.

Hissing Valves.

Of course when you hear hissing that comes from escaping compress sion you naturally think of valve grinding. But it does not always fol- low. A small piece of grit may be- come fastened to a valve-head sur face and prevent the valve seating tightly, or variation in stem adjust ment by vibration may cause the valve to seat imperfectly, and in ei- ther case there will be a hissing sound,

 The most surprising feature was the fact that in the 22nd district, which includes part of the borough of the Bronx, the vote cast for the Socialist candidate exceeded by app proximately roo that given the Re- publican nominee.
 The only district which had a Wom- an candidate was the Fist, where Mrs. Mamie Colvin ran on the iProhi- bltion ticket Her vcIte was 3S2 out or total of 23,92S. In the same dis roct the Rev.

TAX FOR POKER WINNER,

 Losses From Income.

Washington, Mar. 5.-Poker profit eers we're hit today by the internal revenue bureaus informal ruling that earnings from the game were subject to the income tax, but losses could not be deducted from income in fig uring the tax. Thus there is tax for the winner and no relief for the los CT. The ruling was given to the fol lowing letter of inquiry:
 "Kindly' tell me whether poker losses are deductable from net in- come in figuring income taxes. l have lost large sums in the past year and the question with me is vital. For the information of q friend, who has had good poker profits, please tell me whether there are to be included in income"

CAMOUFLAGE

The Times would again suggest that
it would at least "sound better" if
Congress would work out some plan
whereby it might appear that they
were paying an income tax-provid-
ing they do not accept the advice Of
fered by this paper last week to ad-
journ, at least for the duration of the
war--thus permitting a full concen-
tration of public effort to the carry
ing on of the war. The fact that
Congress advanced the pay of its
members, without seeking the advice
of it's masters (?), the dear people,
would indicate that increase was suf-
ficient for all purposes, even includ-
ing a small income tax.
Such tax must be paid by heads
of families who are earning as much
as $4,000, even running down to ST.
900 for single men. 1t appears to
The Times that it would not be any
more shattering to a Congressional
salary of $500 and perquisites to
stuff a few dollars income tax, than
it would be to a $1,000 or $4,000 sal
airy of an ordinary individual. OF
course the Congressional work man
be harder, causing these mastodons to
crave more nutritious and expensive
food. Still we fail to see that much
difference in the price of provender.
For the looks of the thing, barring
all other considerations The Times
would advise that Congress again
raise the salaries of members if nee
essary, and allow the income tax fea-
ture to apply to them, also. 1t would
look better.
We had nearly overlooked it, but
would also suggest that they make
the next salary raise sufficient to COW
er their stamp bill, so that they can,
occasionally at least, affix stamps to
their private correspondence. That
franking privilege is becoming ex-
ceedingly burdensome to the mails, as
we'll as to the people. If these sug-
gestions should be acted upon then the
appearance of these prevailing con-
ditions would apparently be consid-
cradle relieved. Of course it would
only be camoufage. But then what
real good can be expected to come out
of Congress these times, anyway?

in the Spanish-American war, and
which resulted in the death of so many
of our American boys, is still fresh
in the public mind. All one has to
do is to observe the physical appear
ance of our soldiers in the present ar
my and it can be seen at once that
they are well fed and well cared for
and are treated as we'll as possible
under the circumstances.
1t took George Washington more
than five long years to win the War
of Independence; it took Abraham
Lincoln more than four long years to
win the war of 1865, and yet some
people seem to think that President
Wilson should conquer the most pow
erful war machine that was ever
created in less than a year.

INTERN COL. ROOSEVELT

Senator Stones denunciation of
Col. Roosevelt in the Senate yester-
day was deserved. If there is any
one in public life today who takes
himself too seriously it is the Colonel.
He feels that he is a privileged
character and that what he says
should be respected as if it came from
the Bible. Col. Roosevelt's recent
splashes into politics ought to con-
vince him that the people no longer
have faith in him. His race for the
Presidency as a Bull Moose leader
should have been as humiliating to
him as it was to his former follow
ers.
He proclaimed himself the guard
ian of the Hughes candidacy in 1916
and the Republican nominee received
all that "was coming to him." A few
months ago, Mr.. Roosevelt decided he
would state the paramount issue in a
New York municipal campaign and
elect a mayor. The Colonel and his
candidate never got beyond the last
line tr2lrhcs.
Mr.. Roosevelt simply refuses to
conceue Ilal ne is pOlltlcally dead. BY
claiming to be the only genuine SOL
der in the United States and one OF
the few patriotic Americans, the Col
onel has made traitorous speeches and
written articles that few newspapers
would have printed on their own mi
tiative.
He has libeled members of Con-
gress and the President without even
being once officially rebuked. The
United States could prosecute the war
more effectively and with more enthu-
siasm if Roosevelt were suppressed.
As Senator Stone asserted, Roosevelt
is worse than any of the enemy aliens
and while we are informing the OBJ
jectionable foreigners, we might just
as well put the Colonel in a Govern
ment bastie during the war.-Cape
Girardeau Tribune.

BUCHANAN COUNTY
GOES OVER THE TOP

Buchanan county, with st Joseph
as the commercial center, evidenced
its faith in better roads on the oath
by adopting a 100000 bond issue
for road and bridge purposes by a
vote Of 5 to 1. The campaign was
conducted by NJ. V. Carroll of Soda
liza, under the direction of Geo. E.
McIninch, vice chairman of the Mis-
souri, State Highway Board. Buchan-
an cou naytnlp tet-e)nN
an county plans to build 200 miles
of paved roads, and it was stated
during the campaign that the adop-
tion of the bond issue would virtually
mean the extension of the city limits
of st. Joseph to the boundary lines of
the county: County Highway Engi-
neer Cargill has had under way for
some time preliminary surveys for
the improvement of many of the roads
and there will be no delay in Buchan-
an county in this particular. st. Jo-
seph has learned the lesson that wa
terbound macadam roads will not
withstand heavy motor vehicle traf-
fic and a better type of construction
is proposed. The bond issue in Buch-
anan county is the second largest
adopted in Missouri, st. Louis county
taking the lead with a 100000 is
sue. In St. Louis county, however, the
city is not included, while the taxable
wealth Of st. Joseph will pay more
than 80 per cent of the road bond
tax in Buchanan county. 1t is graf
flying to the State Highway Depart
ment to have Northwest Missouri
take such decided stand in favor of
better roads. The recent adoption of
bond issue in a special road district
at Bethany and the activity of good
roads enthusiasts at Maryville are
further evidences Of a general cam
paign for road improvement north of
the river.

NOW ON EASY STREET"

The Times is now on Easy Street"
In other words, this paper is now be-
hind the $1.50-a-year bulwark, from
which it hopes to be able to stand off
and demolish all bill collectors, which
will be source of great satisfaction
to its management.
II new subscribers continue to come
in, under the slightly advanced rate,
in the same numbers that they have
been coming in under the present
management, then indeed will our
"cup of happiness be full to overflow
ing" Such advance will enable us to
take small profit on subscriptions,
which we hope will, in the aggregate,
be sufficient to supply the deficit that
has often appeared in our monthly
business.
For this slight increase, in order
that Times subscribers may not suf-
fer any loss thereby, we propose to
put forth every effort to make this
paper better than it has been in the
past. We are going to do our best to
make it an absolute household neces-
sity," especially to every citizen and
property holder in st. Francois coun-
ty. Is it asking too much to expect
every good citizen to get their name
on The Times subscription list?

was working-well together and team
work was good. The forwards were
adept in throwing field goals. The
work of the Forwards. Allen Burks

worthy of mention. The guards were
able to hold their opponents to
small number of goals. The score
