Range Happy

Happy—what a word—what
a world of meaning. A con
tented woman, proud of her
cooking machine.
I All machinery is designed to lighten labor, to enable
one to do more [and do it better. Then cooking
machines are no exception and the Copper-Clad
cooking machine is The World's Greatest Range
Holding heat like a thermos bottle, a woman knows
exactly what she can depend on. She knows, too,
that she is saving fuel.
■
She appreciates a Copper-Clad most when it comes
to cleaning it. With no hinges, catches and latches,
! with no ornaments or corners, with no rivet or bolt
I heads on the nickel, the Copper-Clad cleans like a
dish and is a woman,s delight. Then, why shouldn’t
| a proud owner of a Copper-Clad be Range Happy?
Why shouldn’t the Copper-Clad be called The
World's Greatest Range?

Mrs. Robert B. Hooker entertained
a few friends very delightfully yes

day of her sister, Mrs. E. L. Maris,
who was completely surprised over

very pleasant little afternoon party.

Mrs. Gregg, Mrs. T. J. Watson, Mrs.

Dr. C. P. MerriwetHer of Little
Rock, who has recently been commis
sioned a major in the medical depart
ment of the National Army, called a
meeting of all medical examiners and
of the local and advisory boards of
the district, including the counties of
Jackson, Independence, Stone Izard
Sharp and Baxter, to be held in New
port last night. Major Merriwether
met with the physicians and quite a
number were present. The meeting
was for a general conference with
the examining physicians, both local
and district, when suggestions and
improvements over former work were
gone over. These physicians exam
ine all men called for service, and
the meeting last night was for the
benefit of the medical board, who are
the responsible ones and were glad
jT
to have the major with them. Among
the out-of-town phhysicians attend
ing were Drs. J. W. Case and W. B.
Lawrence of Batesville, Dr. J. T. Tip
I ton of Mountain Home. Dr. J. L.

Chas. G. Henry and C. F. Mariner
spent the day at Little Rock Wednes
day attending a meeting of the Unit
ed War Work Council of which Mr.
Henry is district chairman, including
the counties of Jackson, Independ
ence, Stone and Sharp. At the request
of President Wilson all war chari
ty work is to be consolidated into
one organization to be known as the
United War Work Council, which
includes all the organizations such as
the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., The
Jewish Relief, The War Work Com
munity Service, The Salvation Army,
The National Catholic War Council
and the American Library Associa
tion. All these combined organiza
tions have set apart November 11th,
as a time for raising a fund for gen
eral war work, instead of having a
separate drive to raise the individu
al amounts. Arkansas’ allotment
iis $869,550. The two gentlemen
who attended were very much in
favor of the combined efforts of the
seven organizations, and think it
would be much easier to raise funds
for war charities in this way. A
man and woman from the war zones,
who arrived Monday, were interesting
speakers on the days of program.
They represented the Y. M. C. A. in
the stricken countries, also the work
of the women for the women of
France.

SINGING, READY TO GO.
On a recent evening, everything
about the Hostess House at Camp
Pike seemed unusually quiet and
'homelike. Some of the boys were
reading, some writing, and there was
another group about the piano where
one of the fellows was playing (soft
ly, for once.) In the twinkling of
an eye the room was filled with boys,
boys, boys! all good-humored and
' hungry.^ The (electric current was
.... i
off at the officers’ training school, 4
and the boys had adjourned en
masse to the Hostess House. A line
to the cafeteria was formed, extend
ing acx-oss the house, “and then
some.” Suddenly the pianist began on
“Long, Long Trail,” and such a wave
of song burst from the throats of the
khaki-clad throng as is seldom
heard. There was a thrill in the
very atmosphere that seemed to vis- "\j
ualize the struggle “over there”, and
to transport all in spixnt down the
long, long trail. One song followed
another while the line slowly short
ened. They sang in the room, in the
cafeteria, sitting at the tables, and
on the porch. All seemed enveloped
in the spontaneous song of lads ready
to go down the long, long trail for
us, to die, if necessary, for us. It
was a picture that none who wit
nessed could ever forget.
“Dash, determination and daring—
also efficiency”—That’s what our
boys at the front are doing. Keep ’em
going! War Savings is a message tc
the kaiser that will “get over.”
