PROFESSOR HASKINS.
WAS A kindly soul.
BRIGHT ON some subjects.
BUT SO absent-minded.
THAT ONE day at the barber’s.
HE TOOK off his collar.
TO GET shaved.
AND FORGOT where he was.
AND KEPT right on.
TILL THE cash-girl screamed.
AND A barber stopped him.
HE WAS a great smoker.
BUT HE’D often put.
THE BURNT match in his mouth.
AND THROW away.
THE CIGi%RETTE.
HIS STUDENTS loved him.
HE WAS so full.
OF FUNNY surprises.
►
ONE DAY he had a tube.
OF RADIUM and he told.
THE STUDENTS all about if.
AND FINALLY, by mistake.
INSTEAD OF the tube.
HE PULLED out one.
OF HIS cigarettes.
AND ASKED the class.
“WHAT IS the one thing.
WHICH DISTINGUISHES.
THIS MARVELOUS substance.
FROM ALL others on earth?"
AND THE class roared.
“THEY SATISFY."
WHAT is it you’ve always wanted
a cigarette to do? You kno w the
answer. Chesterfields doit—they not
only please your taste, they. satisfy!
It’s all in the blend—a secret blend of
fine Turkish and Domestic tobaccos.
It puts Chesterfields where none can
touch them for quality and value.

BREAK IN LEVEE
ON WHITE RIVER
(Continued from front page)
night, or until they reach
points of safety where food
can be supplied. Merchants
throughout tne affected area
and at other points in the state
will be asked to send food
to the sufferers.
Loss ot live stock will be
heavy, although much of it
was driven to high points.
Two special trains, supplied
by the Missouri and North Ark
ansas railroad, and another
furnished by the Chicago Mill
and Lumber Company, at
Helena, which owns a 4,000
acre plantation in the flooded
area, were utilized yesterday
in getting residents of the sec
tioxi to places of safety.
Rescue Parties at Work
Rescue parties were formed
shortly after the break oc
curred, and they spent the day
and most of last night aiding
refugees in reaching high
points.
Owners of farms in the
lower part of Phillips county
say that the break near
Georgetown will relieve the
pressure against the levees on
the lower river and probably
will insure the safety of crops
and other property in that
section.
_ Construction on the White
river levee was begun in 1909
and completed in 1918. It
cost approximately $1,500,000.
Because of tne depressed fi
nancial condition of the land
owners, due to the low prices
received for their products the
past year, the federal govern
ment will be asked to assist in
repairing the levee, Mr. Argo
said over long distance tele- i
phone last night. v
It will be several weeks be
fore the water will rcede suf
ficiently for the lands to be re
tilled. The water will grad
ually run off into Cache river,
near Clarendon, and then into
the White river.
The lands affected by the
overflow are distributed as
follows: Woodruff county,
60.000 acres; Prairie county,
30.000 acres; Monroe county,
20.000 acres; a total of 110,
000 acres.—Arkansas Gazette,
May 5.

EDUCATIONAL MOVEMENT
Major-General Leonard
Wood, U. S. A., who was can
didate for the. Republican
nomination for President, and
who in 1917 wrote his great
book on “Our Military His
tory, Its Facts and Fallacies,”
in a letter to Dr. Elmer T.
Clark, of the Christian Edu
cationl Movement of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South,
makes use of the following
strong words in behalf of the
enterprise:
“I am very glad to know
that the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, is to undertake
a great Christian education
al movement whose purpose is
to thoroughly inculcate in
your membership an appre
ciation of the tremendous im
portance of education.
“We have not been pushing
forward public education in
this country as we should.
Teachers have been under
paid, the draft of the great
war has demonstrated that
practically twenty-five per
cent of our youth between the
ages of twenty-one and twen
ty-five are illiterate. A con
stitutional democracy such as
ours is dependent for its sta
bility and progress upon the
sound education of its citizens
“I am also glad to know
that you are going to empha
size the importance of Chris
tianity to the Nation. No
Nation can endure without re
ligion. One of the first signs
of decadence is the falling
away from religion. We may
vary in our views as to the im
portance of this or that de
nomination, but there can be
no divergence of opinion as to
the importance of our people
being well grounded in relig
ious belief. I trust your move
ment will have the largest pos
sible measure of succes.”
