BEST THEATRE.

"A Man of Honor" the last pro-
duction in which Harold Lockwood
will be seen and which is now being
shown at the Best theatre to capacity
houses, is thrilling adventure dra-
ma of strength and beauty. It is a
screen version of Henry Mitchell
Webster's popular novel. It tells the
story of David Smith, virile young
American, who is sent to tropic
island by clique Of men to concoct a
false report on property there to
swindle thousands of unsuspecting
stockholders. This is the best pic
ture that Mr. Lockwood ever made
and the star is seen in the best role
of his career. The supporting cast
is in keeping with all of the Lock
wood pictures, which insures the best
actors and actresses that appear on
the screen in minor roles.

PLANS FOR 4TH
CELEBRATION
HERE SIMPLE
Ball Game in City, and Picnics
and BarbecueS in the
Country.

Excepting the baseball game at the
Athletic field between the local Cot
ton Belt club and the team from lay
ior, Texts, indications are that there
will be little celebration of the Fourth
Of July in Pine Bluff. A number of
celebrations are planned only short
distances out of the city, however, and
it is presumed that each attraction
will receive it's share of local patro-
mage.
A committee Monday afternoon at
the Chamber of Commerce decided the
business houses will close Friday.
Most of the outing, picnics, and
other forms of entertainment, are out
in the country, and only those who
have automobiles, or friends with
automobiles, or cash, or good credit at
the garages, will be able to get there
This inclines the belief that the ball
game will draw large local crowd
as will the picture shows, and drug
stores, the latter two being at this
time, practically the only forms of
amusement available.
About $50 Shrines will go to Texar-
kama for a celebration to be held there
Celebrations Near City.
According to an announcement made
Yesterday, the arrangements for the
big Fourth of July celebration to be
held at C. M. Leavitt's Midway
Park" 10 miles from Pine Bluff on
the Sheridan Pike, are nearing com
, pletion. The plans cali for eats
drinks, dancing, music, and like forms
of entertainments. A feature of the
celebration at midway" will be the
dance. A vocer has been built to ware
off the rays Of the sun, and J. M
Simpson, of the Simpson Webb Fudni
ture store, who has furnished tht
chairs end swings for the park, ha:
announced that he will offer a hand

Postal Charges
Return Today to
Pre-War Rates

Beginning today, the post office will
probably handle a greater volume OF
mail matter, especially in letters and
post cards, for effective July l, the
pre-war rate on postage will ATTAIN.
The old rate of two cents on letters
and one cent of post cards, according
to an announcement made by c. u.
DuvalI, assistant to John II. Will
bourne, post master, will be the rate
of postage, as it was before the war
rate became effective.
The price of envelopes, according to
Mr.. puvall, will continue higher. The
three-cent stamps will probably be
called in, and the printing of them
discontinued, while a greater issue of
two's begun.

BRIDES FEARFUL
PLEAS TOO MUCH
FOR PRESIDENT
AS Result, Newly-Weds Travel
HOmeward on Presidential
Ship.

wireless to The Associated Press.)
On board the u. S. S. George Wash
ington, Sunday, June 29.-Several
thousand returning American soldiers
, and a score of pretty French war
brides are on board the presidential
ship on its voyage to the United
States. A number of the soldiers who
were members of the guards at the
Paris white house and the Hotel De
Crillon, headquarters of the Ameri-
can delegation, were married during
their sojourn in Paris.
The regulations provided no means
for the brides to accompany their
husbands aboard the George Washing
ton and for while it seemed that
they might be left behind. A fearful
Joint despatch from the brides to
President Wilson, however, led to the
making of arrangements for their
accommodation and they are one of the
happiest novelties of the voyage,
which so far has been in perfect
weather and on a calm sea.
Farewe messages were received by
President Wilson, from King George
Of England, King Alfonso of Spain,
and the emperor of Japan. The one
from King George makes allusion to
"the American and British people,
brothers in arms, who will continue
ever in peace"
Realizing Objects of War.
The reply of the president to the
message of King George was as fol-
lows:
at gives me deep pleasure to ex-
press to you my conviction of the
truth of your generous message con-
corning the great ends which have
been attained by the present peace
and the new ties which have been
created between your own great peo-
pie and ours we are on the eve OF
realizing, more than we could realize
them at the time, the real object OF
the great war.

ted to defeat the enemies of liberty
and justice, have through their repres
entatives wrought out plan by which
they may remain united in free part

"GET ON THE FARM"

This is the season for the farm. A farm
is a gold mine for any farmer, who gets
there with his heart and his soul in the
soil. The farm is the foundation upon
which civilization rests. More Of our peo-
pie should leave the city for the farm at
this time. We see in the distance famine
for the city people. Unless there is enough
produce made upon the farm to supply the
needs of the city folks, something serious
must happen. There is nothing to support
the over-crowded city but the farms anc
for some time rich men will not be in
position to put their money out in factories
and other industries on account of the high
prices for lumber, material and labor.
Men with money take little risks, but it
is the men without money who take large
risks. The man who buys lumber and labor
at present prices is bound to find himself
in the hole, twenty-four months hence, or
sooner; for prices have begun to fall now.
No man can pay one dollar and half per
day for ploughmen and make money out of
the farm; if he could all of the farmers
would be rich. Seventy-ive cents day is
an equal price to the farmer and plough
hand. When the farmer is paying one dol
lar and fifty cents per day to the farm
hand cotton must sell at twenty-five cents
per pound. What if the farmer pays one
dollar and fifty cents per day to each
ploughman, now on his farm, and when he
goes to gather cotton is selling at twelve
and one-half cents per pound, the farmer
simply meets with the calamity Of having
thrown away his money. The condition
ought to be guarded against now The high
cost Of food and other materials should
cause some kind of an alliance formed as
safeguard around the farmer There
should be some kind Of an agreement be-
tween the farmer and the government for
the assurance that the prices Of foodstuffs
and cotton be the same on the market as
it was when they started.
1t is now March and the time for every
one to go to work, and make farm. The
farmers should begin planting corn on the
TIN of March, and cotton on the first of
April. 10 pay higher prices for labor and
fertilizer, and not receive a price in COM
parlson at the end of the season would make
1t very bad for tn e farmer.-Charlesto
