Rabbi Leon Harrison, Noted Temple israel Pastor. Pleads for
 More Service.

Rabbi Leon Harrison, noted pastor of Temple Israel, St. Louis, who has delivered ringing addresses through osrt the nation in all war activities, has driven home his first nail in the Gov ernment's platform of the Victory Lib erty Loan.
 There are some who fear that tho public may be lukewarm in this new Victory Loan drive. because they think that the war is over.
 But the war is not really over un- til the treaty of peace is signed It is not over until every man in the American Expeditionary Forces has been brought back to his native soil and to his home Ii Is not over until every sailor that enlisted for the war in the United States Navy shall have been demoblized
 But in the meantime we must sup port these millions cf sailors and sol diers. We must pay them, and shel- ter them. and feed them And we have to pay our bills incidental to the great war. whose battles are now ended. but not it's financial conse Quences.
 Your taxes are not enough. how ever heavy they may be The revenue of the Government is far from being sufficient The American Government is obliged to borrow money to pay its running expenses. because these are still war expenses We must still support our army and our navy We must pay the bills for what our Gov ernment has ordered during the past year for the victorious conclusion of the great war"
 The buying of your Governments obligations. Dr. Harrison says. is not only fine investment. but n splendid act of patriotism and devotion to the freest government on earth

Arkansas Becoming Very
 Thrifty State

Arkansas Is becoming very thrifty state according to statistics just made public. This state IS in the heart of the district that made an increase of forty four per cent in its savings, this Tn turn forming part of the thrift record broken by the United States which has surpassed all nations in the increase of it's savings during the past four years.
 The South increased it's savings four times more than the eastern states. according to L. A Wilson, of St. Lotus. Savings Director for the Eighth Federal Reserve District in the War Savlngs Stamp Campaign.
 The South has saved more during the past four years than Tn any other four years in it's history. :" said Moorhead Wright. state director. These habits of thrift will make the people and the communities prosper as never before We started saving to Win the War and We will keep on saving to win personal success and prosperity. Every person who buys thrift stamps or who helps other form the habit ls boosting along a wonder ful work and helping himself.

Keep Up the Good Work

tQltOr NeWS:-
 After having attended meeting at Monticello recently of the Chamber of the people of Dermott should get busy and revive our Board of Trade and live up to the reputation which the town has heretofore established.
 The Chamber of Commerce at Mont icello has recently been re-organized, and is wide progressive as sociation of business men.
 At this particular meeting there were 120 members present, and they have 15S enrolled and Sl. 5S0 in the treasury.
 During this meeting Dermott's pro gressveness was referred to frequent ly. to me, and there Is no doubt in my mind that 1t has been instrumental in arousing Monticello to the necessity for action, if she is to keep pace with Dermott.
 It seems to me that Dermott cannot afford to slacken her efforts, and as much of our prosperity has hitherto been brought about by the efforts of the Board of Trade, l think We should revive the organization and continue the good work
 Yours for the upbuilding of Dermott,
