Why Women Talk.

Men are downtown at their offices all day and have q chance to talk. The women have to stay at home, and with the exception of the mllkman, the gro- cery man, the iceman, the old clothes man, few miscellaneous peddlers and hucksters, and the woman next door there is nobody to talk to. That Is why wife talks her husbands head off when he comes home at night Husbands, who through long years of experience, have grown accustomed to this merely answer "hmh-hmh" with out hearing. Sometimes the wife will catch them unawares and between re- marks will insert request for S1O to buy new dress with. If the husband, from force of habit answers "hmh- hmh," the wife, of course, gets the gown.-Cartoons Magazine.

 fit of Travellers.

For the accommodation of soldiers
 passing thru this city. Pine Bluff is to have canteen service, s3o0 having
 been donated by the executive board
 of the Red Cross for that service.
 The canteen committee is composed of Mrs. w. T. Lowe chairman; Mrs
 Nick Can't, secretary and treasurer; Mrs. Leo M- Andrews, chairman of
 finances; Mrs. J. F. Mcintyre, chair
 man of cooking department; Mrs. Turner Bradford. Mrs. E. c. McMullen,
 Mrs. K. B. Bloom, Mrs w. o. Taggart,
 Mrs. H. e. Cox and Stanley Dreyfus,
 Nick Can't and E. B. Bloom. A kitchen will be established at q suitable point and the work systema- tized as rapidly as possible. The Red Cross directors of canteen service has
 especially commended the plans of this community in that the geographi- cal position of Pine Bluff, and the To-
 cation of the depot and railroad tracks
 here make it an ideal station for q canteen.
 In letter to the secretary of the local Red Cross chapter, E.. B. Bloom, the director of canteen service for this district of the Red Cross, Charles P. Pettus, says:
 T am delighted to know that you are now ready to establish a Red Cross canteen service at Pine Bluff. ! As Pine Bluff is situated on the main line of the Cotton Belt we have been very anxious to have a canteen estab- l lished there for number of troop l trains are sure to be routed through your. town and you may be able to ] render a very valuable service to our 1 boys in case of an emergency. You are not expected to meet every Itroop train that may pass through your town unless you wish to do so
 and pay the boys some little atten- l tion to show that you are interested 1 in their iwelfare. The Red Cross field
 directors will supply to every troop train commander lists of towns where 1 canteen service can be secured, with | instructions for them to wire ahead in ! case they need anything that Red
 Cross canteen can supply. This serv- ice has been of great value in supply l ing needs to troop trains that have l been delayed.
 You are not expected to furnish them regular meals, for the army will attend to that, but if you will organ 1 ize 2 canteen committee of at least
 ten people who will undertake to fur
 nish hot coffee sandwiches, fruit. etc,
 whenever a call should come, you will
 be rendereing service that will be
 greatly appreciated. and we will be ! delighted to add the name of Pine Bluff to the other Arkansas towns
 where this canteen service has been established"

Conserving Tin Cans,

All over the world many uses ara found for used five-gallon tin cans. In the Orient, Africa, Latin-America, the West and East Indies, the natives pur- chase them for. innumerable purposes. There are men engaged solely in buy Ing and selling these containers. The tinsmith coverts the containers into all kinds of household utensils-lamps, cook stoves, pots, baking pans, sprink, lers. small pumps, plates, measures drinking cups, rat-traps and buckets With one face removed and glass sub. stf.nted therefor the can becomes dis. play box for grocery stores, or rice containec. Cut diagonally in two it serves as dust pan. In Latin-Amer lean cities 1t Is used by peons to cut grass in parks, being formed into a sort of knife. Used entire it is good for shipping camphor, lime, alcohol and MOlasses. It makes an excellent dower-pot.

The license regulations regarding
sales of sugar for household use are
