HUMPHREYS IS
BIRTHPLACE OF
PATRIOTISM

Following the presentation to the
city council Of Humphreys, by Mayor
Hickey, of the plan to erect a Com
munity Club House as memorial to
the Humphreys men who died in the
service, a committee has been ap-
pointed to crystalline the plans al
ready in a tentative shape. The
chairman Of the committee appointed
are as follows:
Building committee: J. G. Mouser
finance committee, J. A. Osborne;
Captain of the ladies finance com
mittee, Mrs. J. A. Osborne, Mrs. John
Harlan. Mrs. V. D. Harlan, Miss
Iockri6ge, Miss Ruth Stillwell, Miss

In speaking of the move to estab-
lish the Humphreys memorial, Mayor

of the first towns in Arkansas to 60
over the top in every War Activity;
Humphreys sent more volunteers than
any town it's size in the State, and
the indications point to her putting
over the Community Club Memorial
with the same pep and speed which
has characterized it in endeavors in
the mast"

PINE BLUFF MAY
BE IN CENTER
OF OIL FIELD

, The possibility of Pine Bluff being
in the near future the center of an
oil and gas producing area is not en-
tirely remote The probability is out
lined in a report by E. w. Shaw, ex-
pert geologist of the United States
Geological Survey, who has just COM
pleted an investigation, and who
stated that the gas supply from the
Northwest Louisiana fields may not
be sufficient to meet the demands
within two years, or perhaps four or
five years.
ut is quite probable" the report
of the United States geologist says,
'that valuable pools (of gas) may be
found in the southeastern part OF
the state as far west as Pine Bluff
and DeValls Bluff"
The possibility of obtaining gas
nearer the cities of Little Rock and
Pine Bluff, and the feasibility of run
ming pipe line to the Monroe, La,
fields are among the questions dis
cussed in the reported of the United
States fuel administration on the nat
ural gas situation in Arkansas
The report practically exonerates
the Arkansas Natural Gas company,
stating that the company had shown
due diligence in constructing and
maintaining it's lines. Recommends
tions were made however for better
ing the companys lines. A parallel
line at Sulphur River, where the
break occurred last winter was among
the recommendations.

DOCTORS SAY
THE new CALOMEL
IS BEST MEDICINE
New Variety, Called Calotabs, Is
Purified and Refined From Maui
seating and Salivating Eff
fects-Medicinal Virtues
Retained and I'm
proved.

According to the worlds greatest
! physicians and medical authorities,
calomel was the best, and most uni
versally useful of all medicines.
Medical authorities prescribed calo-
mel for almost every disease and ex-
planned that it was the best and sur
est of all system purifiers. They say
that calomel cleanses the liver, stom-
ach, bowels and kidneys and purifies
the blood from all poisons, making the
, system pure and clean so that nature
can quickly restore the health.
| Now that science has purified Gallo
mel of all it's nauseating and danger
Gus qualities the new calomel, called
"Calotabs," is even more popular than
the old. AS liver-cleanser and system
purifier Calotabs are more effective
than the old style calomel, yet are
entirely delightful in faeffect. One
Calotab at bedtime, with a swallow
, of water-that's all. No nausea, no
: salts, nor the slightest unpleasant
ness. Next morning you awake feel
ing fine, with a hearty appetite for
breakfast. Eat what you please and
go where you please-there is no re-
striction of habit or diet or danger
of salvation.
Calotabs are sold only in original
sealed packages, price thirty five
cents. Your druggist recommends and
guarantees Calotabs, and will refund
your money if you are not delighted
with them. adv.

Arbitrary approval of the zone
fares without appraisal of the prop
erty of the Public Service Company's

NOW WALK WITH FRAULElMS
Order Forbidding Fr~aternization by
Soldiers Is Revoked by Maj.
Gen. Allen.

Coblenz.-The army regulation pYo.
hibiting American officers and soldIe. 3
from fraternizing with Germans has
been revoked In an order issued by
Maj. Gen. Allen.
The rule against fr~aternizing be-
came effective in December soon after
Maj. Gen. Dickson ana the American
army of occupation reached the Rhine.
The British and French are reported
to have lifted their ban several months
ago.
Fer the last month the regulation in
the America area had not been strictly
enforced and there has been consider
able ~promenading by American soldiers
with German girls.
The revocation of the fraternizing
order in no way affects the regulation
prohibiting American soldiers from
marrying German women
