RALPH's STORY SERVICE
BY Anna z. r. Anderson,

papers for delivery the nswsboys dis
cussed their plans for contributing a
dollar each towards the twenty War
Savings Stamps their Boys Club
planned to buy this year.
One voice shrilly announced, MY
father printed some tickets, and |
left them in the offices of the Trade
Building. and so / get errands to do -
Another boy said, Il deliver gas
bills every month. | used to get
a cent apiece, but now l get two
cents"
81 help our janitor and get ten
cents every Saturday. and sometimes
do errands for lady in our house"
small Peter insisted.
Ralph had little to add to the cla-
NOR, since he had as yet no plan,
but only a strong desire to serve
his country by raising the dollar. His
pay as a newsboy was small and il
had to go to help his widowed mother
meet the rent
With his papers under his arm and
his mind intent on his problem, he
came upon group of children dan
cling on the sidewalk to the music of
hand organ, accompanied by mon
key who DOTTED his funny little cap
when his master indicated that he
must collect the pennies.
oh, wait a minute said one little
girl, until / ask my mother for
cent" The child soon reappeared
with FIVE cents for the man and
cooky for the monkey.
Suddenly an idea occurred to Ralph.
He had read that Eastern people
were so fond Of hearing stories that
they would sit in some public place
and listen to professional story-tel-
lers for hours at a time. Why could
he not tell stories. and so earn some
money as the organ grinder did?
When the organ and monkey dis
appeared, he said to the children,
will you give me some pennies if
will tell you some nice stories?"
What kind of stories?" demanded
one
"Oh, yes" said another: will you
tell US one now!
81 must deliver my papers now"
Ralph said, but I will be here to-
morrow afternoon. 1t is Saturday,
so there is no school, and I will
come early"
Ralph went on with his papers and
soon overlook the organ grinder sur
rounded by another group of boys
and girls. Encouraged by his pre-
.vious success he made the same prop
osition to these young folks, who
accepted with JOY his offer and his
terms.
Early the next afternoon Ralph
found five girls and two boys waiting
for him. He chose the wide steps Of
a house somewhat sheltered from the
wind and the sun, and told his stories
so well that at the end of the time
allotted he was besieged for more
But he had the other children to con-
slider. so he promised to have more
stories for them the next Saturday
When Ralph met the other children
he found eight boys and girls at the
rendezvous. He related the same
stories to them to their evident de-
light, and they readily promised tc
wait for him next Saturday If he
would surely have more stories to tel
them.
Tho following Saturday his audi
ences were increased in numbers,
with corresponding increase in con
tributions, End at the end Of the sec
ond afternoon of story telling h,
found that he had received more thai

FRENCH SOLDIERS
 HID FROM GERMANS FOR FOUR YEARS

Paris, March 16.--(Corrtspondence Of the Associated Press)-The ad- ventures of two French stragglers, Sergeant Lesquern and Private Leve- sque, who, becoming separated from their units after the battle of Char laroi, remained in hiding flor more than four years in German occupied territory are told in the newspaper LaVictoire. In the early days of the war civilians helped the two sol .diers but sthe German domination became weightier, they took to the woods.
 They made their home in the for est of Sapogne in the vicinity D.. Sedan Their dwelling was a dug out so concleaned that it was never discovered, although the forest which harbors wild bear and other game was a favorite hunting ground for German officers The French strag- glers lived on wild animals, hare and other game. One German who ventured into too close proximity Of their dug-out is also buried where he fell
 They made one attempt to escape in 1915, but on the Dutch frontier they were shot at by the German sentries and the sergeant was wound ed so the two of them returned to their forest. The severe winter of 1916 brought them terrible suffer ings. They were showed in and al most starved. -, #.:...g.
 They owe their Ewes to an old Belgian poacher and smuggler who. throughout all the years of their ad- ventures. helped them with provi- sions. They are now in a French hospital recov vcring from the effects

RUSSIAN LEADER 7 SHOWS fAIl|NGS
 OF THE PEOPLE
Copceit Has Grown as Na- tion Progressed in
 Civilization.

Archangel, March 16.-(Via London February S.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press)-An interesting insight into the views o. a Russian leader on the troubles and faillngs of his own people is given by Presi- dent Nicholas B. TchalkoSsky or the northern region in an article WIIt- ten for The American Sentinel, the newspaper for American soldlefs' published at Archangel
 Writing for the members Of the American expeditionary force, Presl- dent Tchaikovsky said: "lt is true that Russian culture is very recent and lacks the brilliancy and accom- plishment that are so characterlstlc of the large American cities. II IS particularly noticeable that what we borrow from abroad does not easily adjust itself to our foundations. But as if afraid to be left behind by our more progressive nalshoofs' we have acquired this foreign super structure with having first prop erly prepared the foundation.
 Thus we had brilliant electric lighting in our capitals long ago, whereas the peasants in the villages have only recently ceased using wood snlinters to light their huts. Our universities and scientists are well known throughout the world, while scarcely thirty per cent 0. our coun- try folk are able to read ana WrHe.
 Lived in Slavery.
 "ln our social and political life, one observes the same peculiarly For more than fifty years we lived under rule of veritable slavery to bureaucrats, imperial gendarme ana police, being deprived of the most ele- mentary rights of citizenship. But a! the same time we used to have all shades of political hnd sociaNst1e doctrine, whose opponents sought all immediate answer to the social prob- lems and the adoption of ideal meth ods of distributing the wealth of the country.
 "In word, we have been very anxious to absorb the latest ideas o western civilization without being al all sure that there was room fol them in our own life. We have al
 ways been more concerned With tht affairs os the wide world. than wltt the crying needs and faults of ou1 own nation We have actually learn ed to be indifferent to our own ma tional interests and ashamed to b' patriotic "Unfortunately, some of our splcn did natural gifts, our achievement in art, music and literature hav given some of us the conceit that WI 1 have been called upon to teach othe nations how to solve their most diff ficult and complicated problems

KANSAS HAS MANY
 ABANDONED CITIES

Kansas City, Mo, March 16.-Car- roll county, Missouri, lays claim to the distinction of having more Host cities'' than any other county in the state. More than a dozen towns, have been plated there, have enjoyed a brief boom period and then passed into oblivion. .14
 Probably the oldest of these aban- doned towns is Bloomfield, started in 1918, 1t was at the forks of ,Waken- da creek, but as all their residents became afflicted with chiIls and. few CT, they decided tesdepart and Bloom- field died. sa 7. ~. ::
 Another town which had the ad- vantage of a promising name was San Frisco, Mo, established about the same time as it's Pacific coast sis ter. but the lure of California gold depleted it's population and the town disappeared. , . Bailville, was unique; it was plat ted with only six, blocks. The plat was filed by J. Elder in 1856.

A BALL CLUB.

The proposal that Pine Bluff have a representative base ball club this season ought to appeal to a great many citizens. A city without a ''home team" to brag about or apol- ogize for is lacking in an important institution. Base ball has become the national pastimc of America be- cause it is clean wholesome out door sport that is as energetic for the fan as it is for the player. An afternoons relaxation of roofing, reviling the "umps," urging the players around the bases, munching peanuts, argueing with the fan in the next seat and "hurrahing" the bird who has come along to support the visitors, puts new life in the tired business men as well as the fatigued society bud.
 Then there is the box score, the batting averages, the club standing, the activities of the star twirler, and hundreds of other items on the dope sheet to provide amusement for rainy days and evenings that tend to drag. A ball game even provides the inno- vation of getting a side light on your best girl. She is wild about the pitcher, of course, but why does he allow the visitors to hit so many balls? And why didn't the umpire catch that infield fly when he knew the pitcher couldn't get it? Stupid
 Incidentally abase ball club is about the best little advertisement city can have and the attendance at games is a sure indication of the spirit of town, even though the club isn't leading the league.

Starving in i t|le|

Acid-Stomach Steals Strength an
 Good Feelings From Millions

One of the worst features of acid- stomach is that very often it literally sta1ves its victims in the midst of plenty. And the strange thing about it is that the people w'.h acid stonaachs seldom knbw what their trouble really is.
 No matter how good or wholesome the food may be, or how much they eat. they do not gain in strength. This is clearly explained by the fact that an acid-stonaach cannot properly digest food. Instead of healthy, normal digestion, the excess acid causes the food to sour and fer ment. Then when this mass of sour, fermented food, charged with excess acid, passes into the intestincs, it be- comes the breeding place for all Kinds of germs and toxic poisons, which in turn are absorbed into the blood and in this way distributed throughout the entire body. And that is exactly why it is that so many thousands of people eat and eat and keep on eating and yet are literally starving in the midst of plenty. Their acid-stomacks make it absolutely impossible for them to get the full measure of nour- ishment out of their food. And it doesn't take long for this poor nour- ishment to show it's i'll effects in a weakened, emaciatcd body.
 You may say: My stomach docsn' t hurt me-" That may be true because many victims of acid-stomach do not actually suffer stomach pains. Then again, there are millions who do suffer all kinds of aches and pains head aches, rheumatic twinges, gout, lum- bago, pains around the heart and in the chest-who never dream that an
