marriage to William Wallace Chal-

day. IS having number of pre-

Margretta Williamson gave a tea
for her Friday. and yesterday she
was the honor guest at a luncheon
given by Miss Mable Reeves. Miss
Aileen Moran will be hostess at a
bridge party for Miss Williamson
tomorrow. and so it goes until al
most the minute of the wedding.
When Miss Williamson's engage
ment was announced. in some way
a number of persons confused her
with Margaret Williamson, who
!, lives iE Georgetown. Friends be-
gan to congratulate Margaret
rather wish her happiness. for l
believe it is not quite the proper
think to congratulate the bride.
Margaret teaches school and other
teachers applied for her position,
and she even was sent a wedding

comes as a surprise. Margaret and
her sister, Adelaide, are both very
attractive and were unusually
popular when they made their debuts
two seasons ago. But they have
sort of dropped out of things dur

They Realize That Savings Are Value less Unless That Saved Is
 Properly Invested.

On occasion the organizers of War Savings societies have their lots cast in most happy places, and the reports that find their way to headquarters are of real interest.
 O. P Stark, one of the Arkansas field workers, on recent visit to Dan vile, Yell County, went through one of these experiences, and his report to Moorhead WriSh., State director at Little Rock, was replete with happy relation of the facts.
 Stark was evidently unaware that the members of the Yell County Boys Pig Club and the Girls Canning Club were to have field day on that par ticular time The downtown streets were deserted many of the stores were closed, and inquiry revealed the req son.
 Stark followed the throngs and was just in time to reach the place of as- sembly before the huge jctnts of juicy beef, lambs and fowls had been re- moved from spits placed above trenches dug deep in the ground, where bed of glowing embers was even yet adding a coat of brown to the meats, and was freeing savory odors that con1ured up visions of the feasts enjoyed by Robin Hood and his forest rovers in the heart of Sher- wood Forests in Merrie England.
 And when the feast was spread the viands were attacked with gusto and ample justice was done.
 Then the boys told about their ven- ture in pigs, and the handiwork of the girls in the art of food preservation was dwelt on in words, and their wares sampled.
 But this was not all. Thrift had a place on the program. J. c. Cham bers told of the value of the cam paign of thrift planned by the United States Treasury Department, and how. what the boys and girls had accom- plished was the outgrowth of that campaign.
 He explained the value of the War Savings Societies that were sprtnging up all over the country, and told tho boys and girls that all they had &C., complished would count for naught did they not practice real saving. He told of the advantages of Thrift Stamps, which he said would pave the way for prosperity when those who were boys and girls now had reached manhood and womanhood. Chambers said there should be at least 95 such societies in Yell County.
