Reminder: President Wilson and
his colaborators continually urge up
on the American people to maintain
! a high standard of Christian morals
and culture. They are either right
; or wrong in thus urging upon the
1 American people to be true to God
! and his church as a means of win
ning the right kind of peace for the
| world. If they are right, then all
i who neglect their church are wrong,
j They may be patriotic, but they have
a different kind of patriotism from
President Wilson.
FROM A NEWPORT BOY
S 0 M E - W H E R E -1N - F R A N C E
The following newsy letter from
Seymour Hays, a splendid young
man of our city, to his friend, Harry
Grimes, will be read with interest.
Somewhere in France,
May 27, 1918.
My Dear Friend: •
I thought I would write you a few
| lines to let you know that I am still
1 living and enjoying good health. I
, guess you will be surprised to hear
| from me as I have been awful slow in
writing, but I had rather do any
thing as to write.
I have been in France almost two
months now. This certainly is a
beautiful country here: the sun is al
ways shining bright, the scenery is
beautiful—what I have seen of it.
We get a pass every night, if we
want it, to go to town, but you have
to be back by nine, “and after you
! walk about three miles you are all in.
I am working had every day, using
1 the pick and shovel, but I am used to
that now and do not mind it. I
I guess you are still in the hog busi
ness, are you not? We have a moving
picture show at the Y. M. C. A. about
four nights in the week, and a lecture
the other three nights or a vaudeville.
The Y. M. C. A. certainly is doing
lots for the soldiers over here.
Well, I don’t know much more to
I. ■! _ I _ !■■■■■ . .* . Ji - -..

MUST WORK BEHIND LINES.
Washington, June 15— Deportation
and forced labor inflicted upon Bel
gian civilians by the German govern
ment not only continue unabated, but
has taken on a new character, accord
ing to a memorandum presented to
Secretary of State Lansing by the
Belgian minister and made public to
'day. The memorandum contains a
: copy of a protest sent to the German
governor general of occupied Belgium
by the Belgian senate and house in
March.
Those imported, instead of being
' sent to Germany, as in the past, the
memorandum declares, are now be
ing sent to work in the regdon behind
the German front in France and Bel
j gium. The Germans also appear to
I have changed their reasons for the
! deportations, the note states. The
pretext formerly used, namely, to
i give work to the unemployed, has
been abandoned, and now the depor
tations aie being made on the ground
that by an order issued by the Ger
man General Headquarters, every
inhabitant of the south may be com
pelled to give help in case of public
I calamity, even outside his residence.
SPEND YOUR VACATION
WORKING ON A FARM.
Why would it not be a good idea
for every man living in town who ex
pects to take any kind of vacation to
spend his time working on a farm?
He can also well afford to take his
pay in vegetables, fruit and potatoes.
Recreation and production must go
hand in hand this year. See your
county agent. There are plenty of
farmers who need help.
George R. Hays and daughter, Miss
Mary Frances, leave tonight for St.
Louis to spend a few days with Mrs.
M. M. Stuckey.
FLAG DAY EXERCISES
A GREAT SUCCESS
(Continued from Page 1)
he was forced to stop until quiet
could be restored.
Following his address the “Pageant
of Allied Countries,” was a feature
greatly enjoyed. France, a country
we all love, and would almost die
for, wras represented by the singing
of the “Marsailles” by a chorus, cos
tumed in French fashion, • but the
most beautiful object was Miss Mar
garet Van Dyke, riding a white pony,
| coming in on the stage representing
Joan of Arc, a leader of her armies to
freedom. Cheer after cheer greeted
her on the splendidshrdlu shrd lushr
her. Great Britain and Canada were
splendidly represented by Major and
Mrs. A. R. Campbell, both carrying
the flag of their native land, and Mr.
Caninholl sine-ina- Eneland’s National
hymn and Mrs. Campbell that of
Canada. The beautiful flag of Italy,
came next, represented by a large
chorus. Following this Uuncle Sam
and Miss Columbia, joined by all on
the stage, sang “The Star Spangled
Banner,” amid tears, cheers and
laughter, closing the best patriotic
meeting we have ever had. ,
Mrs. P. H. Van Dyke,* one of our
city’s most talented musicians,
planned and put into execution this
most excellent entertainment, and
from the platform was thanked pub
licly for her splendid effort and suc
cess. She was ably assisted in the
Flag drill by one of the happy num
bers on the program, by Mrs. Her
schel Cast, who possesses an unus
ual gift along that line of work.
LABOR DISTRIBUTION
A GREAT PROBLEM
The State and Federal labor agen
cies of Little R:ek are the proper
medium for the employer and the em
ployed to get together. It has been
rmarked that there is a great loss of
time and energy when laborers seek
employment independently. The or

readily place every man looking for
work. Here is a partial list in the
hands of the State Bureau of Labor:
Dupont Powder Co.. Nashville,
Tenr,., wants laborers, carpenters,
pipe-fitters, linemen, electricians and
riggers.
Seattle, Washington wants lathe
hands, boring mill hands, and erec
tors, ship carpenters, caulkers, mach
inists and boilermakers.
There are many applications for
farm laborers in Arkansas, at wages
ranging from $23 and board to !?50
and board.
Six hundred laborers are wanted
for government work in Arkansas, on
railway sections, extra gangs, street
work and miscellaneous employment,
at wages ranging from $2.25 per day i
