RED CROSS

The days of "knit one, purl two" arr
over, the five yard rolls and pape
backed pads a thing of the past, thu
last refugee garments has been packed
and we will pull down the blind (fgura
| tively) and close the door of our work
room. But ere l turn the key in the
l.lock, l want to pause and thank my co.
workers from very full heart for their
help and loyal support.
When you made me chairman OF
surgical dressings fully realized there
were many among you who were far
more capable and l accepted with
trepidation. could not say NO for
every one was expected to do her ''bit'
and it was woman's sized job we had
ahead of US. But there was one thing
we didn't pack-the word quit. Deep
down in our hearts was the resolve,
that as long as the Red Cross needed
our work, be it surgical dressings or
chil1ren's garments, our doors would
be open and never have we failed to
fill our quota. We did not desert hu !.
waited to be discharged.
Now we may clean that closet where
things have long been tucked out Of
sight waiting this happy 'honorably
discharged" time, or play that game Of
cards or read that book that has lain
with uncut leaves. And the tasks will
be lightened and the pleasures keener
for that which we gave Of our time and
ourselves.
Iwou!d like to thank each man, wo-
man and child in Middletown personally
who has helped in this great cause but
l know you feel as l do it has been
your privilege to help. rather than to be
one of the unfo-tunates who, though
no fault of their owa, must accept that
help.
Even so there will always be the
feeling of thanks for the man who re-
membered US with ice those hot days
last summer, for the man who helped
US get closet room, for the man wh)
kept our sewing machines in working
order. for the man who sharpened our
scissors, for the young men and girls
who worked for US at night and the
Town Board who gave US electricity,
for those who took things to aud fro
from Wilmington and those who tied
and nailed boxes. for those who gave US
rooms to work in, for the school girls
who gave up their afternoons to help,
for the small boy and girl who shipped
for the comfort pillows and for those
women who gave 80 generously of their
time when home duties pressed.
We are informed that our work HIS
helped make possible a record of which
we may all be proud. Out of the 1O2
Chapters 4 have done 70 per cent. of
the entire work of the Pennsylvania
Delaware Division and the Delaware
Chapter is one of them.

BIG CORPORATIONS WILL
HELP BOOST ARKANSAS

The movement to interest the agri-
cultural experts of the big corpora
tions of the United States in Arkansas
development has gone much further
than the persons who started it had
an idea it would. They visited the big
packing concerns, and the leading
manufacturers of implements, and all
agreed to have their experts spend 60
days boosting Arkansas in any pos
sible way. Now the big automobile
manufacturing concerns. the stock
breeders, and other agricultural agen-
cies have expressed a willingness to
cooperate, and it begins to appear as
if Arkansas is to be the real adver-
tised state of the new year. The big
campaign will start with the sagricul-
tural school which will be held in Lit
tie Rock, under the auspices of the
Arkansas Profitable Farming Bureau
four days beginning with January IL.

THIRD OF PASSENGER
TRAINS ARE ANNULLED

Little Rock, Dec. 6.-Don't do anv
unnecessary riding on the railroads.
conserve coal in every possible way
II you do not, you may have to do
SO, anyway.
orders were issued yesterday by
the regional director, B. F. Bush. and
received by all railroads and the Ar
kansas Corporation Commission. an
huliing at least one-third of all pas
senger trains in the southwestern re-
gion, comprising the states of Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas.
Louisiana and Texas, some of the
roads of Illinois, Colorado, and Ne
oraska and the Frisco between Mem
phis and Birmingham.
No special trains must be run for
business or pleasure, double headers
are prohibited, all unnecessary travel
is to be avoided and there are to be
no second sections on any trains. To
care for the traffic additional cars
must be added, and the present sche-
dule heightened.
This curtailed service will begin at
noon next Monday. Mr.. Bush saws in
his order:
1T is very important that those
who travel, especially those who have
made advance purchases of tickets or
sleeping car space for any day in
December shall promptly make in
quiry of local ticket agents and ascer-
tain whether trains or cars they con-
template using have been discontinued
or their time changed. The limited
train service available will serve to
carry only essential travel"
Gov Brough was in conference yes
terday with penitentiary commission
ers, and some coal operators over the
situation, and expects H. C. Couch,
the federal fuel administrator, for a
conference today. He says, positively,
that the coal mines must begin opera
lions Monday, if it must be done by
volunteer labor under military protec-
ton.
Labor Commissioner Wilson, who is
in Western Arkansas, reports that
slack is being loaded at Doubleday in
Sebastian county, and that loading
might begin today at Hartford.

LITTLE ROCK MEN BEHIND
STATE FAIR PROJECT

Interest in the proposed state fair
for Arkansas has been keen among
the business men of Little Rock. They
are expected to take enough stock to
make the proposition sure go, and
start it off with the magnitude of the
Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana and Tri-
state fair in Memphis. The business
men will not expect dividends from
their stock, but if the project is as
successful as in other states, it will
be real business proposition. Efforts
are now being made to secure options
upon available fair sites near the
business section Of Little Rock, for to
be a success, the grounds must be
accessible.

POOR PACKERS ARE
VERY HEAVY LOSERS (?)

According to Little Rock packing
house agent, teh big packers have lost
over $50,OOO,OOO in the past month
due to the decline in the price of meat
and that it will take them many
months to recuperate. There is little
sympathy for the packers among the
consumers, and they will rejoice in
the opportunity to purchase cheaper
meats, but so far there has been moth
ing to indicate that meats are cheaper
here. The packers say that bacon
goes begging now because the farmers
are feasting on fresh pork, but at the
same time the demand for salt meat
is greater than it has been for sew
eral months, showing a flaw in the
argument somewhere.

TAKING STEPS TO
BEAUTIFY ARKANSAS

Communities of Arkansas which
have beauty spots will be asked by
the Arkansas Automobile Association
to make them so attractive that auto
mobile tourists passing through Ar
kansas will tarry to give them the
once over, and when they pass on,
carry the gospel to the skeptical who
still think of Arkansas in connection
with a train that celebrates in its
movements through the common
wealth.
With the completion of the high
ways now under construction, and the
distribution of road maps throughout
the United States, automobile travel
in Arkansas will increase many times,
and a majority of the tourists prefer
to camp out as they go along. Ii
camping grounds, with real conven-
fences are provided at the good
springs, or points where the scenery
is grand, the tourists are going to tell
about it.

Half Million Increase in Mineral Products

The preliminary government report on the mineral resources of the Uni- ted States in 1918 shows that the ap- proximate value of the mineral pro- duction was $5,526, ,162,00O, or $5O0,- 100000. in excess of the figures for 1917. The! production was greater by $2,O00,0O0,000 than that of 1916, and was more than double that of any previous year. The increase over 1917 is held attributable to increase in prices rather than to the produc- 'tion of greater quantity of mineral products. The report says, in part:
 The statistics of mineral produc- tion show that in the last 10 months before the armistice the mineral in dustries of the country had become remarkably we'll adjusted to the ex- traordinary economic demands of war. Production increased in nearly all the minerals that were directly or indi- rectly essential to the war, such as minerals fuels, the major base metals, except zinc and many of the minor base metals, particularly those which are normally imported from distant parts of the world, but for which shipping could no longer be spared.
 The coinage metals declined greatly in output. Gold was bound legally to fixed price, while costs of produc- tion were soaring; the production of

silveF was hampered by great in crease in the imports of bullion, chief ly from Mexico, and by other causes. The most notable decrease was in the building materials. the output of which declined A20 to 60 per cent, labor and capital being withdrawn from these industries and focused on those which were more essential in the war economy. i>, N
 The unprecedented demand by, both army and navy for fuel oil and gaso- line led to the marketing of more pe- ,troleum than in any previous year, but the percentage of increase was the smallest in five years, and drafts upon pipeline stocks were the largest yet recorded. The relatively slight in- crease in the fact of the urgent de- mands serves notice of the early ap- proach of the period when the curve of the production of American wells will be downward rather than upward, and emphasizes the necessity for the acquisition by Americans of, addition al sources of supply, if the needs of the United States, as the worlds greatest consumer of petroleum are to be met. The increased demand was followed by advanced prices for crude oib which were stabilized, with government approval, at record levels during the closing months of the year.

BASEBALL TEAM ARE
ENTERTAINED AT DANCE

dance at the War Camp Community
Service recreation room Thursday
night Eighteen couples We're pres
ent and danced from to l1:30 o'clock
Punch was served. Mrs. j r. Nc
Laughlin and Mrs. +. w. Graham act
ed as chaperones. The soldiers had
a good time and gave high praise
to the War Camp Community service
and all others who assisted in en-
tertainng them.
Secretary Kiegwin yesterday receiv-
ed letter from Ralph r. Lane, dis
trict director, to the effect that in
the near future the American Library
association will send from 500 to 900
books here. These, with the addi-
ton of the magazines and daily news
papers which are already coming to
the recreation room. will provide pIen-
ty of reading matter for the soldiers
and others who frequent the rooms.
The secretary would like to obtain
the names of not less than twenty
five automobile owners who are will
ing to lend their cars on short notice
to take soldiers for short sightseeing
trips. 1t is frequently the case that
soldiers passing through here have
an hour or more to stay. If they can
be taken for ride it helps them to
while away the time and is also a
good advertisement for the city. Gen
orally the secretary does not have
much advance notice Of the mems ar
rival. Sometimes they a"e at the
station before he knows ANYTHING
about them passing through. Conse-
quently any entertainment has to be
arranged for on the spur of the mo-
ment. BY having a list of automo-
bile owners who are willing to lend
their cars for this purpose, he can
communicate with them by telephone
on short notice.
