If you know of a “slacker” who
failed to register on June 5th it is
your duty as a citizen to report him
to the nearest department of jus
tice.
President Wilson did all in his
power to keep the country out of
war and failed and now it is the
duty of every loyal American to aid
in every way within his power to
help win the conflict for humanity
and civilization. Join the Red
Gross society to be organized as
well as the Defense league. The
men who cannot fight can give of
their means to carry on the work
of these two worthy societies and
the ladies can knit mufflers, wrist
lets and socks for those who are
going to do the fighting. Unless
this is done by all there will be
more deaths from exposure than
bullets among our forces at the
front. Let everybody get busy
and do his or her part from now
until peace is declared.
keep oimrranviT
At no period in our history have
we been so sure of the future. The
Eastern world’s stomach is feeling
the pinch of hunger, and its de
mands on the products of Ameri
ca’s broad acres and American in
dustries are growing with every
passing hour. A great market is
opening wider and wider. Honest
and fair profits in all lines of legiti
mate effort are certain.
There should be no curtailment
in building and road construction.
Let both public and private useful
construction proceed. Production
and handling of building materials
and public and private construction
work are fundamental industries of
the country. Any tendency to
suspend or postpone building proj
ects is inconsistent with maintain
ing our prosperity. The country is
prosperious. Building investors
should not hesitate to go ahead
with their plans. Railroads should
soare no effort to supply the build
ing industry with the cars needed
t) transport materials. Govern
ment. state, county and municipal
ithorities should encourage the
continuance of all kinds of building.
Road and street improvements
i. particular should go on unabat
ed. Bad roads and streets are fac
tors of first importance in the pres
c it high cost of foodstuffs. Never
b Tore was the improvement of
highways more essential.
The lumber, brick, cement, lime,
sand, gravel, stone and other build
hg materials industries are basic.
Neither government regulations
nor railroad restrictions should be
imposed unnecessarily to interfere
w ith them. If any action is taken
which results in the prostration of
so fundamentally important indus
tries, there is real danger of a sur
plus of unimployed labor, a surplus
of railroad cars and a crippling of
business that will seriously embar
iaesthe government in financing
the war.
The right thing to do is to keep
building.

From the number of letters
which are being mailed or received
at this postoffice with 3 cents in
postage on them a number of peo
ple must think the idea of 3 cent
postage on first class mail has been
enacted into law by congress, but
such is not the case yet.
While a number of cities failed to
subscribe for their quoto of “Liber
ty Bonds,” Huttig is to be congrat
ulated on taking more than her 6
per cent of the banking facilities
amounting to $3,000 as there was
$15,000 worth of the bonds sub
^9fibed for by citizens of Huttig
through the First National bank.
Albert Farley, son of Mr. and
Mrs R. L. Boddie of Camden, who
formerly lived here, died Wednes
day at Barham, La., from injuries
received while helping to extin
guish a fire at the Barham Lumber
Co.’s plant. A falling smokestack
struck him. He died within a few
hours. The body was shipped to
Beaumont, Texas, for burial.
Tax Assessor R. E. Harris with
assistants T. W. Williams and Glen
Dykes, and C. B. Wood and J. C.
Wallace, the deputy township as
sessors, were here Monday after
noon, all day Tuesday and Wed
nesday morning and all were kept
busy during their entire stay, over
500 persons assessing. The dep
uty township assessors raised the
assessment of quite a number of
tax payers and succeeded in put
ting on considerable improvements
but we still contend that the prop
er system for assessing taxes is by
having an assessor for each town
ship who goes into each home and
assesses each individual for just
what he owns.
J. B. Taylor of Stamps was tak
en to Texarkana recently by Depu
ty United States Marshal John
Strange on a federal warrant
charging him with using vile and
threatening language against the
president of the United States. He
made $500 bond and was released.
Taylor is a native born white man.
The alleged offence is said to have
been committed several weeks ago.
Taylor was arrested at the time,
but was released after a prelimina
ry hearing. However, the recent
federal grand jury returned an in
dictment. This is the same initials
of a former resident of Huttig who
moyed to stamps and the people
here are wondering if this is the
same party.
Mrs. A. W. Dyer of Shreveport
is here visiting her brother, T. L.
Ellis and family.
It is estimated that it will require
51,250,000 feet or over 1,500
cars of lumber to build the canton
ments buildings for the divisional
training camp to be located at Lit
tle Rock.
No. 666
This it a prescription prepared especially
for MALARIA or CHILLS &. FEVER.
Five or six doses will break any case, and
if taken then as a tonic the Fever will not
return. It acts on the liver better than
Calomel and does not gripe oi sicken. 25c
Your Duty to Report Slackers.
The time limit for registration
expired at 9 o'clock last Monday
night and it is now the duty of ev
ery citizen to report all slackers to
the nearest department of justice.
A list of those who registered here
can be found tacked up in the post
office and all should look it over
and if they know of any male per
son between the ages of 21 and 30
living in this voting precinct whose
name is not on the list turn them
in. Every slacker who failed to
register makes it that much harder
on those who did register.

periodic attacks of headache, never dreaming
that a permanent cure may be had. Headache
nearly always results from some disorder of tne

permanently cured by Chamberlain’s T. ablets.
