To The* People of Arkansas:
Everybody uses artificial
light and power but the Bu
reau of Conservation of the
United States Fuel Adminis
tration warns the Public that
they must not be misused. For
light and power come from
fuel, and fuel must not be
wasted, as it is one of the great
essentials for the^ winning of
the war.
General plans for the con
servation of light and power
have been formulated, to be
considered under the following
heads:
Elimination ot uneconomi
cal isolated plants. A ton of
coal burned in a large central
station will produce at least
four times as much electricity
energy as if burned in the
average small plant.
The application of the skip
stop to street railways and the
regulation of car heating and
lighting. Half the number of
stops will save 10 to 15 per
cent of power and many cities
have adopted this system.
Economy in utilization of
power and light in factories,
in which many methods of con
servation are suggested.
Utilization of excess water
power and interconneciotn of
power systems, opening up al
most limitless possibilities for
future development.
Limiting the production of
power to the most efficient
plants available and cutting
out the inefficient plants.
Economy in the refrigerat
ing and ice manufacturing in
dustry, by reducing the num
ber of plants, producing white
or opaque ice, and allotting
only a definite amount of coal
to each plant.
All unnecessary and merely
ornamenal lighting must be
eliminated, now or later. This
is a patriotic duty.

HOT BREAKFAST FOOD
SETS DOG HOUSE AFIRE
An absolutely unique way
in which to set one’s house
afire has been discovered by a
North Littl Rock woman, Mrs.
Frank Henderson, wife of a
well known newspaper man.
She started to crisp some
breakfast food in the oven of
the gas range. Leaving the
contents in the pastboard box
she set the breakfast food on
the oven door which was open.
She left the room for a short
tinfe and her small son enter
ing the kitchen soon after
ward, doubtless in search of
what all small boys seek in the
kitchen, found the cereal
smoking. He promptly grab
bed the box and contents and
threw them into the back yard
The story would have ended
right there except that the
smoking breakfast food land
ed in the dog house which had
been bedded down in hay. In
its meteoric flight through the
air the breakfast food burst
into flames and when it alightd
in th dog house the canine
occupant soon afterwards
awoke, and thinking the Ger
mans had taken Argenta, ut
tered something that sounded j
like dog language for “Kam- I
erade” and beat a hasty re
treat for the back yard where
there was a comparatively safe
hornets nest that he knew of j
where he could cool off. The j
family organized a volunteer
hre department after the dog
house was well on it’s way to
destruction and extinguished
the fire before the dwelling
ignited. As an effectiveway to
start a fire this method is to
be recommended over the old
commonplace careless ways
such as harboring a cracked
chimney, papering over flue
holes, using gasoline indoors
and setting the family stove
too near the woowork.
FLIES NEVER BOTHER
In the summer flies worry
an animal. Get a bottle of
Farris’ Healing Remedy, costs
but 50 cents, makes a pint
worth $2.00. Apply it to the
wound. Flies will not bother
it. Get it today. You may
need it tomorrow. We sell it.

AS IT SHOULD BE
Mayor G. G. McCrory has a
message in another column of 1
The News this week to the
drivers of automobiles and
other vehicles which it will pay
all to read. i
Our town has a traffic law
which is a good one and which
is almost universally observed j
by our people, but there are a j
few who will have to be ‘cited’ |
and we are glad to know that j
our Mayor has called a halt (
and will “show them’’ if nec
essary.
Only yesterday an accident
was narrowly averted on our
streets and if the car which
was being unlawfully driven
had have been on the right
side of the street, all would
have been well and good. We

one day by actual count,
last year more than five hun
dred vehicles alone passed
along Edmund Avenue be
tween Main and Second
street and at time they av- j
eraged one every minute for j
more than an hour. With the
many cars which our people
have pur people have pur
chased since the above count
was made, the traffic has be
come even greater and for the
protection of life and property
we again say we are glad the
law is to be strictly enforced.
The many automobilists who
use our streets are very grate
ful to Marshal J. G. Pulley for
the needed repairs of walks at
street crossings. Keep the
good work going, ‘Uncle John’
until every crossing is easily
passed unobserved.
