 Mrs Milliner needs some face cream, and the beauty parlor or drug store gets it.

THE REVIVAL MEETING

The meeting which was begun at the Methodist church last Sunday is mak- ing favorable progress. The sudden change in the weather and some other unfavorable conditions have doubtless interferred somewhat with the at tendance but the congregations have been fairly good and the interest mani fested by those present has been es- pecially encouraging
 Rev. F. G. Roebuck, who is doing all of the preaching, has produced a most favorable impression on those who have heard him preach. He is one of the strong, growing young men of the Little Rock Conference. Rev. J. E. Cooper, who was expected to lead the singing. was compelled to cancel his engagement on account of the pressure of duties in his own pastoral charge at Stephens. This was quite a disappointment but the singing is being led by the choir and is proving one of the attractive features of the meeting.
 Serv ces are held each afternoon at 3 o'clock. and each evening at ' 30 The people of our city should take Il more active interest in the work than they have manifested thus far The pastor and congregation earnestly solicits the presence and cooperation of the people of all the churches and of the entire community.

American ports They intimate that American tourists will find 1t incon- venient to journey to Canada in order to take ship for a trip abroad.
 Foolish babble of irresponsible tongues.
 They take it for granted that Ameri- cans can not exist without focking over to Europe and strewing their gold broadcast
 Instead, they might with advantage to themselves reason thusly:
 1. If other nations put into effect a shipping boycott of our ports there is nothing to prevent Americans from putting financial boycott into effect against Europe.
 ?. America could exist very com fortably without any contact whatever with Europe
 3. European countries would find themselves nightly distressed if sud denly shut off from all financial aid from th's country.
 4 Rich Americans are foolish enough to spend their money abroad when conditions are normal. But when foreign conspiracy is matched mp against our country it is quite pos sible even for people of wealth to line up behind the good old flag and tell all conspirator to go where it is warmer.
