IT YOU ANT I GOAT
 DON'T PLAY LIKE ONE

It has been an evident fact that for sometime past cer- tan persons around Newark
 ave been trying to get police chief, J. F. Morg2n's goat"
 Not being as vigorous and aeelze as in younger days the chief has not been able to completely control his goat, ' and when the chiefs back is turned aad from somewhere cones Che call, sBa-a-a-a," his own goat is a very hard ani- nal to control. On numerous occasions these same parties thinking to catch the police .unaWues and scare his goat" stiff have suddenly called from many directions Black Sheep. It even makes the goat of 3 policeman mad to be called q black sheep, and his soatship lately had refused to fF0liek at the customary cali .of Ba-a-a-a, which caused chief Morgan to believe that .n9 longer was there any dan ger of his goat being led astfay.
 Knowing that his own sbiI- y possessed at the antics of 2 regular goat, the chief got next to some of the pastures freqaented by goats, and af- tef rare piece =of detective work Sunday he was able to locate 3 number of the perpe- trat0Hs of the goat mystery, and as result of his labors Mayor 5 court was active on ] two occasions this week. On Monday Lee and Nina Tharp were each fined s and costs, and Wednesday GIede Nash drew the same penalty.

that an average of 750,000 American people die each year of preVentable diseases. In 1918, 300,000 babies died in the U. s. before they were a year old-150,000 of them did not live one month. Tuberculosis, a communicable, preyentable and curable disease, takes a toll of 150,000 lives each year. Last year Arkansas alone lost 5000 lives of this disease.
 Realizing that more lives were being sacrificed by dis eases that might be prevent ed, 1t was decided to put on a nationwide public health cam paign.
 The first step was to turn the attention of the chapters to the use of the Red Cross Nursing Service in the public health field in a great meas  ure to the rural districts. This field has hardly been touched. Yet it is here that lie the causes of the above conditions.
 An effort is being made to bring the course in Home Fly giene and care of the sick to every woman and girl in the country, not as a preparation for nursing as a livelihood, but to meet the ordinary em- ergencies that arise to help them to keep their families Tn health and to enable them to care for them in illness.
 During the past year 92,000 women have had instruction in this work.
 First aid and disaster relief which have always been part of the Red Cross work has been broadened. Over a mil lion people have taken the First Aid course which have been introduced in many schools, factories and railroad plants. In the past year, POO Health Centers have been es- tablished and 400 chapters are doing other health work.

WORK OF COUNTY
 RED CROSS NURSE
Report Shows a Splendid Years Work Done by
 Miss Sallie Crow

Red Cross nurse, has prepared the following report of her work during the past year, which shows that a commend able work is being done in this county by Miss Crow.
 After the signing of the ar mistice, after the emergencies of the war had been met by the Red Cross, the organiza- tion took stock of it's assets, both tangible and intangible, and found that it had a mem- bership of 30,000,O00 Ameri- can citizens, charged with the spirit of service. In spite of the National reaction-the let down following signing of the armistice-the people were un willing to dissolve partner ship with this spirit of ser vice, so the question arose what shall We do now?n
 
 The directors, unwilling for this great organization to be- come a colossal joke by sitting with folded hands waiting for earthquakes, floods or fire to call it into action, began to look about for something to do in the meantime.
 One thing uppermost in their minds was the fact that the national draft revealed the fact that one-third of the young men examined for mil tary duty were found physi- cally unfit for service, and that about "A per cent of the causes were due to childhood defects that might have been prevented or remedied.

 Public Health Nurse.
 A public health nurse does so many things thst cant be put on paper, 9 statistical re- port shows up very poorly.
 So in justice to the work ! mention 2 few of the things that take up so much Of our time. First, is the long dis tances that we have to travel to make some of the visits. As to roads, words will not des- cribe most of them-you have to drive over them to appre- ciate them.
 For example, made two trips to see a sick baby, drove B miles, the car was stuck ir the mud four times, had one puneture and a blowout. On one trip to see an ex-service man who was sick, 1 drove 50 miles over fairly good roads bad roads, and places where there were no roads at all. More than once we stopped to ask direction and if we could get there with the car and with a doubtful shake of the head they would say "a car never has been over the road but a car did go over the road.
 For the Home Hygiene Classes, I have taught, out side the three in Batesville, l have driven 1857 miles.
 The clerical work of the of. flee with the hundreds of let ters necessary to the work talk as no little time.
 I mention these things only that the work may have a jU consideration.
 Visits to sick, 160; visits to schools, 84; infant welfare YlSItS, 1OO; sanitary Inspectl0{> visits, 90; office treatments, 30; talks to schools and clu7s 150; investigation visits, l25: organized 8 classes in Home Hygiene and care of the sick and demonstrations given these classes no.
