Keep Fit" Lecturer
 Addresses Children

Dr. DeWalt Norton, for thirty five years preacher, lecturer and traveller, spent yesterday and this morning in Marianna, comforting with the city and county health au- thorities and making talks to the pupils in the white and colored schools on fundamental principles of hygiene, particularly with ref erence to the necessity for keeping the body fit and healthy. In talk with the boys Dr. Norton pictured the horrors of venereal diseases. He is featuring under the auspices of the federal government and the state health department. His talks to the children are intensely inter- esting and convincing. He was given splendid hearings at both the white and colored schools in Mari anna, and it is the firm conviction of the teachers Dr. Norton did a great deal of good in warning the boys and girls against those things that are likely to mar the body and make it an unfit dwelling place for the mind and soul.

Has "CWeU Time ,
 RObbing Bee HiUe

Marshall Hewitt attempted to rob a bee hive on his farm near Mari anna Wednesday, but very ouicklv concluded he was not cut ont fo,. an aplary expert. In the first place Marshall overlooked a very impor- tant bet when he picked cloudv day on which to. pilfer the prod uct of the bees industry. Authori- ties say the Dempseys and Willards of the bee families remain discreetlv at home on cloudy days and ram ble extensively on sunshiny days Marshall found them all at home Wednesday, and they gave him a warm reception. While he was clad in gloves and gas mask. he left some convenient openings in the southern extremities of his trou- sers and around his coat collar and the irate bees broke some speed records in discovering these vuiner- able points in their opponent. With in less than jiffy they had Mar shall believing hell was an ice house compared to his tortured epidermis. His assistant made a pass to throw a blanket around him, or resort to some other equally as intellectual deterrent to the lightning display of bee wrath, but Marshall sud deny developed a violent case of St. Vitus dance and couldn't be still long enough to receive first aid treatment. After the bees had left enough stingers in Hewitt's hide to give him an idea of what porcu- pine looks like, they departed in peace to their honey, and Marshall made a bee line for Marianna and home, where he had "swell'' time during the next forty-eight hours. His manager was in yesterday to know what he was going to do about that honey. Marshalls reply is said to have been almost as hot as the reception his bees gave him.

POSTOFFICE BIDS
 WERE 7O0 HIGH
w. D. LOWELL OF MlNNEAPO- LIS, WAS LOW MAN, BUT HIS FIGURES WERE IN EXCESS OF AMOUNT AVAILABLE.

Postmaster Claude J. Cotter is in of a letter from the acting super vising architect of the treasury de- partment, Washington, notifying him that the bids recently called for by the department for the con struction of the postoffice building in Marianna were in excess of the amount available for the building, and in consequence all bids were rejected. w. D. Lowell of Minne-- apolis, Minn., submitted the lowest bid. The amount of the bid IS not given, nor does the supervising architect state the amount available for the building. It is presumed the government will do as it usually does in cases of this kind-read- vertise for bids, and if, after the second call for bids the figures are too high the next thing Tn order will be to ask for an increase in the appropriation.
 Postmaster Cotter is in possession of detailed plans and specifications for the proposed structure. A piue print showing the building in per spective has been turned over to the Courier-Index. It has been sent to Memphis engravers to be used in making a cut of the structure which will appear in next weeks is- sue of this paper.

PROSPERITY IN UNIVERSITY.

The world is short on production
 This is particularly true of those countries recently locked Tn the strife of nations. Even our own is included.
 Foreign peoples are manitestiy not in position to produce in pro portion to their requirements TOT some years to come.
 America is.
 The sensible thing, then, TOT America to do is to increase its production, to double, and trepie it.
 This can be done.
 Two essentials to this end are paramount: Quit squabbling among ourselves, and go to work.
 America is rich now. But Tn a few years, if we all go to work and produce to the limit of our capac- ity. we will have provided the ne cessities for which the world cries and we will have enriched our selves beyond the dreams of avarice
 Every one will become pluto crat.
 Go to work! Work harder! Stay with it! Your ship will come Tn ana youi dream will come true.

O. G. NORMENT, MEMBER TRAF- FIG COMMITTEE CONNER CIAL CLUB, REPLIES TO RAILROADS PLEA.

The Courier-Index is in receipt
 of the following letter from c.. C. Norment, member of the traffic committee of the Commercial tlub in reply to a communication from P. s. Morgan, local agent for the Missouri Pacific railroad, published last week, asking business men to cooperate in relieving the car shortage:
 "In acknowledging receipt of the communication from P. s. Nor gan, local agent for the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company, pub lished in the Courier-Index under date of the 17th inst, urging the co-operation of the local shippers and receivers of freight to the end that cars may not be held any longer that is absolutely necessary in view of the car shortage that exists all over the country, l would be glad if you would call attention to the fact that shippers and re- ceivers of freight would also be glad to receive proper cooperation from the railroad companies in the matter of moving shipments to
 
 destinations without undue delay. I have in mind several carload ship, ments made within the state and within 150 miles of destination that required Cor at least such time was consumed) 10 to 30 days to effect delivery, and some less than carload shipments made 5o days ago which have not yet been delivered and yet shipped a dis- tance of less than 50 miles. In addition to greatly inconvemenc.. ing shippers and receivers o1 freight that much equipment mas been tied up and such handling in- creases just that much the car Shortage that is now upon us, ana will continue to increase It so long as any such service, IS toier- ated or permitted by the trans portation lines. !, uo4 sh;n
 "You might also add that ship, ners and receivers of freight Will be inclined to a much more hearty co-operation if the railroad com nanies will do their part

NeU Time PL0n Ends
 Saturday Midnight

With the beginning of next week clocks and watches will be changed and the time schedule for the future will be operated as of old before the wartime daylight saving act became law.
 No striking clock or watch or alarm clock should be turned back. ward. In the case of ordinary watches or clocks that do not strike or alarm the hands can be moved backward or forwad without dam. age.
 In changing back to the old ol sun time, tmepeces should be sci backward exactly one hour. The best plan is to do this upon retir ing. In other words, if you retire at II o'clock on Saturday night the 25th, set the clock at 10 anc forget about it. If this is done you will arise Sunday morning or correct schedule.
 In readjusting your watch-if il isn't the striking variety-simpl, turn the hands back one hour, bu' for striking clocks and alarn clocks turn them forward II hours
 There are certain wires and cog in the mechanism of striking ant alarm clocks that are easily in jured when the hands are turned backward, but no harm will be don by turning them forward II hour in order to reach the proper tim schedule.
 All trains Sunday and all churcl services in Marianna will go on thu changed time.

OF
 NATIONAL GUARD
MAJ. ELGAN C. ROBERTSON TELLS SOMETHING ABOUT ORGANIZATION AND RE- OUIREMENTS.

Maj. Elgan C. RoDertSOn or this city, who has been authorized by the adjutant general and by the governor of Arkansas to organize regiment of national guards in Eastern Arkansas, is receiving fa- vorable responses from several towns in this territory. Capt. T. H. Lloyd of Paragould, who served in the recent war, has already be- gun the organization of com pany in Paragould. Armory quar- ters have been secured and within short time Captain Lloyd ex- poets to report the full enlistment of 100 men.
 | Major Robertson has given to the Courier-Index the following state ment with reference to the pro- posed organization of a regiment in Eastern Arkansas:
 "The national defense act of June 31, 1916, as amended in Feb ruary, 1919, for the reorganization of what was formerly the organized militia or state guards into what is now called the national guards ot the United States, calls into federal service part of the mobile army of our country.
 "Under the new act much latitude has been given the war department by congress in organizing and maintaining the national guard tc the end that the national guard has 1 been recognized as unit of the army equally as important as other forces of our army. And under the new law the national guard is operating more extensively and or a higher plane of efficiency thar ever before. This is made possible for the reason that both officer: and enlisted men shall receive one fourth pay during peace time anc that when called into the fedora service they shall receive the same nav and allowances and recognition as regular forces of our country
 "A company of infantry for peace times, under the new army plan consists of one captain, one hrs lieutenant two second heutenant and one hundred enlisted men O
 various grades corresponding t' grades of the regular army. Th' men are furnished with full outh
 of clothing and all necessary equip
 ment. including rifles, by the wal department through the adJutan
 general of our state. They are re ouired to drill one each week, ant it is the policy of the military au thorities to have two weeks of ma neuyers each year in the state ol at other places in the United States at which regiments are assembled for instruction. These maneuver' are SO arranged, and it is the gen eral idea, to make the period of the maneuyers a vacation for the mer during which time they draw the same pay as the regular army.
 "There an allowance of SoVo wear for armory rent, and the armorv should be so arranged tha, if not only is suitable for driil r,,rnoses. but affords place or re creation for the members or the company. :.
 .Tt is contemplated that most o1 tho drills shall be at night, Tn orcer that they may not lnterIere ~,sai d those who have employment an9 who would not be able to attehu drills during the day.
 "This, however, can only De oone u,hore suitable armory IS pro vided."
