spnd more per inhabitant for build
ing up the city than any other city
IN Arkansas, if not in the entire
country.
But it takes more than money to
make a successful Chamber of Com
merce. 1t takes personal service of
the best business and professional
minds OF the city. Such men must
give some of their time to communi-
ty affairs. They must be wiling to
serve on committees, take response
bllltles, and do hard work at times.
''You can't have a live Chamber of
Commerce where the business men
leave the work to the officers. I'm
der the new plan to be installed by
the American City bureau, we are
to have a committee system by
which many men can be brought in
to the work of the organization, and
the work so distributed that it will
not take much time from any one.
We hope to increase the membership
to 1000 in this campaign. Under
the plural membership plan, the big
firms can be represented by their
officers and other men whose SER
vice in the Chamber of Commerce
would be valuable. If we can have
working body Of 1000 live wire
men, we won't have to worry about
the future of Pine Bluff. Our wor-
~ will be to keep up with the popu-
lation.
'In the next place the Chamber of
Commerce must have the moral and
financial support of every construc-
tive element in the community. We
can't make the most of our oppor-
tunities if part of our business men
and professional men are Indifferent
or pulling in some other direction.
Definite Program.
"Under the new plans the Cham
Der of Commerce will have defin-
lite program of activities. A sur
vey of civic, industrial, agricultural
and commercial conditions will be
made, and then it will be decided
what are the most important things
for the organization to do. Once de-
cided upon, the Chamber of Com
merce will go to work to accomplish
them
"What can the Chamber of Com
merce do after organized? 1t can
first of all work to make the city
a better place in which to live. This
involves housing, sanitation, cleanli-
ness, civic improvements, and the
welfare of the people. 1t can work
for new industries and the welfare
of industries already established, the
expansion of wholesale and retail
trade, and the development of Pine
Bluffs trade territory from an agri-
cultural and industrial standpoint.
1t can work to secure conventions and
encourage the building Of good roads
in all the state. 1t can work for
better railroad service and the ex-
tension of railroads to portions of the
state without service at present 1t
can advertise the city on greater
scale than ever before. In fact, the
work can embrace every thing that
will add to the greatness of our city
and its contributing territory"

this percentage of literacy is almost
as high as some of the states of the

SKIM MILK BEST FOR CALVES

The prices charged for Ready
Made" calf meals are usually very
much above the actual cost of pro-
ducing them, chiefly on account of
dealers profits, transportation
charges, and advertising Cost. So
long as skim milk is available as
feed for calves, milk substitutes
are OF comparatively limited value.
Feeding tests at Purdue Univer-
sity showed that when such a food
as Blatchford's Calf Meal was the
main food for calves, the results
from SUCH standpoint of gain
in weight and growth in height
did not warrant its recommends
ton as an absolute milk. substi-
tute. Skim milk was proven the
best and also the cheapest food
for the growing calves.
The value of the cream sepa-
ratOr is seen in the provision OF
skim milk for growing calves, and
the skim milk should be fed while
warm and fresh from the sepa-,
ratOr.

COOPERATE

There are suunc housewives who seem
to think that food laws and regulations
are just going to work automatically.
They do not appreciate the fact that there
must of necessity he long way from
tho enactment of q food law to the
universal enforcement of IL. Laws don't
work automatically and unless you do
your hit in aeeing that the laws arc
carried out you ;, eally have no right to
complain when they are not put into
effect.
For instance the Department of Agri-
culture tells us that when il comes TO
canned goods ''the public Is entitled to
full measure and any conaimer who finds
that the cans nc or she has purchased
are only partly flied VIII perform public
service by calling the attention 10 the
grocer to this condition.
Then there Is the case Of misleading
labels Instances have occurred where
salad oils not really olive oils have been
sold IN cans bearing labels that might
n,islead one into suppoSing that the
cans contained olive oil For instance one
such label WAS marked Italian Salad Oil
or something of that sort and there were
pictures of luscious olives. To comply
with the letter of The law, somewhere
IN very inoonspicuous letters at the
bottom of the label was written the
words cotton seed OIL No one could
possibly sec these letters unless very
carefully scTutinizing the bottle and the
picture of the luscious olives would do rs
much as announce that the oil WINS made
from olives. There are other lcss ia
grant pieces Of deceit on labels. Now If
something Of this sort comes 10 your
notice you will hc taking the part of
