VICTORY GIRLS
HD BITS OVER
Local Schools Raised County’s Quota
of Victory Girls and Boys’ Share
of U. W. YV. Fund.
All hail Victory Boys and Victory
Girls! Nov. 11th was indeed Victory
Day! The Victory Boys and the Vic
tory Girls were rightly named and
the one who named you had a true
piophetic vision. The Victory pro
gram rendered at the Newport High
School on Monday was one hundred
per cent from start to finish consist
ing of patriotic music and speeches
from Mayor Erwin, Sergeant Mans
field, and Stephen Brown, a Y. M. C.
A. Secretary who has recently re
turned from the front and who was
formerly a student of the Newport
School, also Key Boy Freeman Irby
and Key Girl Mabel Dean and the
Victory Editor, Elizabeth Gregg.

man, Mr. Williams and Miss Irby, the
pledge signing began with that en
thusiasm which we Like to call Ameri
can, and in a few minutes the sum of
$1075.00 was raised in the High
School, This amount alone would cover
the quota for the entire county, which,
since the fifty per cent increase, is
$1044.00, also is the largest amount
raised in the district thus far. The
Victory Boys’ of the Newport High
School pledged $475.00 and the Vic
tory Girls’ pledged $600.00. The East
Newport School made a splehdid re
cord, also the Newport Colored School.
In spite of the fact that there was
'hardly a school in the county in ses
sion outside of Newport, most glow
ing reports are coming in from Diaz,
Auvergne and Grubbs with others yet
to come. Two of our largest schools,
Tuckerman and Swifton,have not been
heard from. A full and final report of
all the schools in Jackson County will
be given after Nov. 18th, “Gleaners’
Day.”
Miss Dove Erwin, Chairman of Dis
trict Number Six, reports that all
four counties: Jackson, Independ
ence, Lawrence and Stone are “over
the top” anl far exceeded their quota.
ongratulations to the Victory Boys
and the Victory Girls who are Amer
ica’s future citizenship,the hope of the
world.
The more you help the men at the
lront the quicker the end will come.

To Our Customers
The matter of increased rates was
discussed, and your City Council be
ing business men, wanted our records
audited by a certified accountant. Mr.
Hennegan of Little Rock was secured
at our expense and their selection.
He found last year that we had a loss
of $3,293.15, and with the present
freight rates, together with the in
creased cost of coal, our fuel bill
alone would be increased $8,860.00, or
a total loss of $12,153.15. Mind you,
we did not set aside one penny for
interest or dividends, and only 5 per
cent for depreciation, which is hardly
sufficient to maintain the property.
Labor has been increased again, and
our loss is still larger.
I am sure you realize that we need
some relief and need it quickly. Just
a small amount added to each custom
er does not mean much to him, but it
means quite a little to us. We need
this in order to provide you the ser
vice you are entitled to.
Think this over.
Arkansas Light & Power Co.,
By H. C. Couch, President.
