life of little Ailine Oppendall OF
Stanhope.
She aocidently swallowed a
small copper staple which lodged in
her throat and it instantly became
apparent that unless she gained
prompt relief she would choke to
death.
Her father happily possessed an
automobile and while he rushed
madly to Boone, physicians here
were notified by phone of the
childs condition and were ready to
save her on his immediate arrival.
The only peril was in bad
stretches of road At times there
was immediate danger that the auto
would get stuck but good fortune
attended the mission.

! Col. Dan Morgan Smith will speak
in DEBORAH at the Congregational
church, on Monday night, July Z.
His lecture will begin at p. m. and
is free to all. Col. Smith speaks in
| the interest Of the Anti-saloon
League of America, and Rev. Willett
has received the following letter
from Field Secretary Samuel M.
SpurgaOn concerning him.
Dear Pastor:
Colonel Dan Morgan Smith has
the most unique lecture on prohi-
bitiOn that has been presented to the
public anywhere. He speaks about an
hour and twenty minutes and over
an hour if it is without mentioning
prohibition, but all about the war.
The prohibition part of his speech
is purely patriotic appeal for loyal
Americans to uphold the constitu-
ton Of the United States.
This is a new idea and it is
wonderfully attractive to not only
men who havei long believed in
prohibition, but it is bringing into
our ranks men who were heretofore
wet-bringing them in soley because
they are patriotic Americans and be-
cause they do think more of their
Constitution than they do of their
beer" Colonel Smith as Major of the
1st Battalion, 35S Inf. Goth Division,
A. E. F. was in command OF his
Battalion when it won the title of
The Battalion of Death" He was
promoted to Lieutenant Colonel for
gallantry in action" just the military
way of saying bravery on the battle
field Of action.
In his speech he describes the
daily life Of the soldier, the trenches,
no-man's land, taking OF machine
gun nests and how the troops under
his command defeated. three regi-
ments of Germans.
In the states of Illinois, Michigan
and Iowa we have been unable to
find churches of sufficient size to
hold the crowds that come to hear
him. He comes to your city under
the auspices of the Anti-SaloOn'
League of America with the CO.
operation of your state league"

4 NEW LIBRARY.

Directors and members of the Pine Bluff Library association, at their meeting recently, discussed plans for the erection and maintainance of 4 permanent library in the city, large enough to accommodate the patrons and to enable 1t to extend it's service to those who are unable to take ad- vantage of the library at the present time.
 A library is almost as essential to 8 community as the public schools and serves in the same capacity It is school for those who desire to continue their studies along special lines after they have completed their regusar schooling and for those who are unable to acquire an education except through home study after work hours. The library reference works are especially helpful to the man who has a home library of his own as well to the man who has rot. Popular novels and current fiction have their demand and if obtainable serve a beneficial purpose
 The yoingster who is taught to 'snaake friends with books" has talk en long step onto the highroad of success and will prove a profitable citizen to the community In his books he has friends that will not forsake him and that will greatly im- prove him through association.
 The local library has hccn conduct cd long enough to prove it's worth to the city.
