to attracting eastern capital to this

Stewart, and Fire Chief A. c. Briener.
 The records of the police and fire chiefs are familiar to all. It is doubtful if any city in the country with a population like Pine Bluff has as efficient police and fire depart ments, considering the territory to be covered and the small number of men employed. This satisfactory condi- tion is due entirely to the heads of these departments.
 In retaining his precessor as part of the official staff, MT. Hollis se- cures the benefit of wise counsel, bas- ed on years of experience in the may or's office. Being certified public accountant, Mir. Bloom, is excellently qualified for the duties of collector.

RHUBARB IS POPULAR.

One of the garden foods of which nearly everybody is fond is rhubarb and small corner of every home garden should be reserved for few plants of this vegetable, says ioday's bulletin from the National War Gar den Commission of Washington. Six to dozen plants will supply a me dium- sized family. Rhubarb lives year after year. It can be set in a sheltered place along the fence at one side of the garden so as not to in terfere with the cultivation of other
 plants. It needs good rich soil and plenty of manure By writing to the

EXECUTIVE SESSIONS OF
 PUBLIC BODIES.

On rare, very rare, occasions there is justification for city council or other public body to go into execu- tive session. As rule, however, there is no reason that public busi- ness should not be discussed in open meeting.
 The people are taking more inter est in public affairs today than ever before. They have little sympathy with the obsolete custom of transact ing public business behind closed doors. Their attitude, and it is the right attitude, is that the public has a right to know how public business is transacted, and how each chosen representative of the public speaks and acts in meeting.
 The Pine Bluff city council held an executive session Monday evening from which even representatives of the press-which Is the representa- tive of the peoplo-were excluded. There may have beeh good cause for the executive session.
 No explanation was offered. There was no good cause for excluding rep resentatives of the press. There has never, is not now and never will be member of the city administra- tion more interested in the welfare of the city than the publishers and representatives of the local news papers. We say this without dis paragement of men who have served who are now serving, and who will serve.
 The people have right to know about public business, and the way they usually get information is thru the newspapers. Representing the people, therefore, newspapermen are entitled. to sit at sessions of public bodies. If there is good cause for withholding any matter from publi cation temporarily they can be trust ed. But they ought to be in position to tell the public when it is to the public's interest to know.
 The United States government plac- ed it's faith in the newspapers of the entire country, and not once was this confidence violated. If Uncle Sam found he could depend upon all the newspapers to refrain from printing information that might embarrass the government, it is reasonable to suppose that the city council and oth- CT public bodies of Pine Bluff and Jefferson county can with equal con- fidence place faith in the newspapers of Pine Bluff.
 Gut out executive sessions. Let the people know.

FUTURE CITIZENS.

Vigorous, robust young manhood and young womanhood is the great est asset of which a community can boast. The life of the community is dependent upon the health of the community. The community reflects the individual.
 With the idea in view of promoting healthy bodies and clean minds, es- pecially in the rural communities, the Jefferson County Rural School Teachers have arranged an annual athletic meet which is going long way toward interesting the younger boys and girls of the county ill clean sports and ill physical self f-develop- ment.
 The meet to be held here April 19 should be supported by every per son in this city and county. An ef fort should be made to hold city meets the same as county meets and more meets should be encouraged. Une of the first things that should be done when the new city park is. secured is to lay out tennis courts, . baseball diamond and an outdoor track. Athletics should be both en- couraged and supported.
 County Superintendent Garland Mays and the teachers of the county schools have inaugdrated an excell- ei,t movement. The county will bene- fit by their works.

 The best new plants of rhubarb are made by dividing up an old plant so that each part has some root and one or two buds. Plant these i'll we'll pre- pared soil so the growing bud is at the ground surface. Cultivate well and if gooG growth is made few of the new stalks may be taken for 'sass" next spring.

Washing Won't Rid
 Head Of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dand- ruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
 Do this tonight, and by morning, most If not all, of your dandruff will be gune, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have
 You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop at once. and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better.
 You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and never fails to do the work

MAY AFFECT 100000
General Strike, Called Today, May
Not BE As Widespread As Leaders
Arc Reporting.

New York, Fob. 17.-The executive
council Of the building trades de-
Dartmcnt of the American Federation
of Labor today cabled to Samuel
Gompers in France asking him to re-
quest European labor leaders to op-
pose contracts sought in France and
Belgium by the building trades en-
ployers' association Of this city.
This action follows the calling of q
general strike, effective today of all
basic building trades workers en-
ployed by the builders association.
Some labor leaders estimated that
100000 men in several score cities
would be affected, although they ad-
mitted it might be several days be
fore they could call all the men off
the job. Frank Feeney of Philadel-
phia, International president Of the
elevator constructors union, declared
that three thousand of that trade
alone would quit work, $50 of these
in New York. EN- ployers said they
knew Of only . men who had struck
here this morning. Other represent
tatives of the employers were un-
willing to cOnccdo that the strike was
as widespread as claimed by labor
leaders.

WAR EXPENSES REST
HEAVILY ON FRANCE
New Division of Debt Sug-
gested i'm Order to Equal
ize the Burden.

Paris, Feb. 16.--The financial sit
uation of France is being given ser
ious attention by various committees
and groups of the chamber of depu-
ties where it will be the subject of
an Interpolation soon.
Frances war exrenses are expected
to total 1872, 100000 francs with
resources Of 15S,000,000,000 frahcs,
showing a deficit of 24,000,O00, 900.
These resources comprise 1S,000,:
100000 francs from taxation, 4,000,-
0O0,0 900 from four war loans, 90,
100000, 900 advanced by the Bank OF
France, the product of short time
treasury bonds together with ad-
vanccs made by Allies and credits
opened in foreign countries.
In addition to the "a 600, 100000 de-
ficit there are exceptional expenses,
such as compensation to civilians for
war damage, which is moderately es-
timated at 10000, 900. 600 francs; the
cost Of exchanging the German mark
currency of Alsace Lorraine, $500,
100000 francs; the repayment OF
bonds issued in liberated regions, L.
500, 900, 900; rehabilitation bonuses,
estimated at between 1000, 100000
and 5000, 900 francs together
with other exceptional expenses
which will bring the estimated total
to $4,000. 100000 and make the total
deficit $4,000, 100000 francs.
It IS reckOned that the expenses for
1920 will he 1880. 100000 francs, OF
which the existing budget can supply
only S,O00,O0O 600. The question is,
therefore, being discussed in French
quarters whether, apart from Ger
many'S war contribution. a new di-
vision of war expenses ought not to
be considered between the Allies in
order to distribute equitably the bur
den which, it is cOntended, weighs
more heavily on France than on the
others.
