What Its Advocates Say.

National Guardsmen who are in
Washington and the members OF con.
gress who prefer the Strengthening of
the militia to any other plan for pre-.
paredness OF the land forces, say the
Constitution of the United States is
specific only along certain prohibitiye
lines, and that congress can legisiate
so as to make the National Guard
forces virtually part of the govern.
ment's army. and that those things
which the national government cannot
do are immaterial to the case. The
people will have to study both sides
of this matter before making up their
minds as to whether the army experts
are right or whether the National
Guardsmen and the members of con.
gress are right
In spite of what army officers say
with regard to the means of complete
ly nationalizing the National Guard.

REVENUE STAMPS ARt NOT REQUIRED EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER g Arkansas Collector of Internal Rev enue Receives Instructions From
 Washington.

Little Rock, Sept 9.-Internal reve- nue stamp taxes on documents of all kinds, long distance calls, telegrams, perfumes and chewing gum will not be collected today and hereafter, ac- cording to a telegram received yester- day afternoon at the office of Jack Walker, collector of internal revenue, from Internal Revenue Collector Os- borne of Washington, D. c. A recent measure passed by congress eliminates schedules A and B, which contain ar ticles which were taxed to provide funds for the government after the beginning of the European war.
 The new ruling regarding internal revenue stamps was to go into effect last midnight. All documents which were issued yesterday must have stamps affixed to them, but those is- sued today do not require stamps. The collector office received a number of calls yesterday from those who wished to learn when the new law would be effective. As yet no arrangements have been made for redeeming unused stamps, but it is understood that some provision will be made soon
 The following articles under sched- ules A and B of the revenue law which became effective December 1, 1914, do not require special revenue taxes, beginning today:
 Schedule A-Bonds, debentures, cer- tificates of indebtedness of any asso- citation or corporation, original issue of stock certificates, agreements to sell, memoranda of sales, transfers of stock certificates, promissory notes, bills of lading, manifests, express re- ceipts, bonds (except those required in legal proceedings), certificates of prof its or certificates or memoranda show ing interest in the property or accum- ulations of any association or corpor- ation, certificates of damage, con- tracts, brokers notes, memorandum of sale of goods, deeds, instruments or writing conveying real estate, insur- ance policies, steamship tickets, power of attorney, protests of checks or bills of exchange, telegraph and long dis tance telephone messages, seats in palace or parlor cars, berths in sleep ing cars.
 Schedule B-Perfumery and cosmet- ics and other similar articles, chew ing gum or substitutes therefor.
 The recent revenue bill retains the income and inheritance taxes, the mu- nitions net profit tax, raised from 10 to 12 1-2 per cent; the corporation stock tax of 50 cents on each $1,000 i; and beer, wine, liquor and theater taxes.

SEASONS LOWEST MARK TOT COTTON SELLS AT IA 3-4 CENTS
Market Continues to Fall and
 Checks Sales Slightly-Seed Again Higher.

With a continued falling futures market and lessened demand for spots, cotton dropped to the seasons lowest figures at Conway today, and this afternoon IA 3-4 cents is the ruling price. This morning 15.lC was paid, but the withdrawal of Lit tie Rock factors from the market and the report that they were buy ing all the cotton they needed at IA 5-8 and less caused the local buyers to reduce their figures during the afternoon buying.
 This represents a reduction of about $7 bale from the high point Tuesday of this week, when cotton sold here at 1920 cents. With the break below the 15-cent mark, quite number of farmers refused to sell this afternoon and are storing their cotton in local yards to hold for better price.
 Cottonseed continued it's upward swing today, the price on the local market advancing this morning to $43.5O ton, gain of $8.50 in four days. This afternoon, however, the market weakened slightly and the rul. ing price had dropped back to SAP. 50 a ton

Wilson makes the map in two styles, one showing all the data mentioned above and the other showing in addi- tion the exact boundaries of every school district in the county The latter style of the map sells for S8 per copy, while the former sells for $5 per copy. Copies of both styles are on display at the office of the Faulk- ner County Abstract & Guaranty Com pany, and those who inspected them declare that MT.

MT. Nixon says there are nd streams to be crossed between Hunts vile and Clinton, and the cost of im- provement would not be more than $250 a mile, as the road would fol- low the ridge of the mountains. From Clinton to Little Rock the streams have been bridged, and the road can be put into condition at . small cost.
 Many branch roads and short lines are planned, MT. Nixon said. Some of these are to Eureka Springs, Jasper, Harrison, Clarksville, Rus- sellville, Leslie, Shirley and Morril- ton. The Little Rock-Fort Smith road would also be greatly aided, ac- cording to Judge Asher.

FAVOR ANOTHER
 STATE HIGHWAY ROGERS TO TEXARKANA Meeting May be Held to Boost Turn pike Road Which Would Pass
 Through Conway.

Little Rock, Sept. 9.-Little Rock boosters who favor state highway from Rogers to Texarkana, accord ing to County Judge Joe Asher, who | will take the matter up with mem- bers of the Little Rock Motor Club Organizations in different parts of Arkansas are working for the road, and have suggested Little Rock as meeting place.
 Judge Asher has received letter from o. P. Nixon of Clinton, who asks that the meeting be held here.
 According to the present plans, the state highway will begin at Rog- CTS, Benton county, and will extend to Huntsville, Madison county, and after following the ridge of the Bos- ton mountains will go through Clin- ton, Plumerville and Conway. From Little Rock the road will follow the Hot Springs pike and will then run to Texarkana by way of Arkadel- phia. At Texarkana the road will connect with the Jefferson highway. Pulaski county's part of the new road is in good condition. The road into Little Rock will be the Conway and Fort Smith pike, north of the river. This road is considered one of the best in the county. The Hot Springs road would not require much work, Judge Asher said.

NORMAL SQUAD 10
 PRACTICE MONDAY

The Normal football team will be minus another good veteran this year. Robert Shallow" Dodson said today he will not be in school. The playing of Shallow" last season, his first on the Teachers eleven, was perhaps the most spectacular shown during the year. Bob is sure tack Ter and was never known to fail to gain when called upon to carry the oval. He played in the backfield.
 Even though Captain Dutch Moore and Dodson will be out of the Pedagogues' lineup, prospects are brilliant for winning crew. To take Moore's place at quarter, Coach Estes will have Sheppard Hammer, last year with Hendrix, who held the snappers berth down for the Bull dogs until he sustained broken arm on the long Texas trip, about the middle of the season. "Shep" is a town boy, and coming athlete. He will benefit the Normal in more ways than one, as he is an all-round man.
 The practice sessions will begin Monday afternoon.

NEGRO FARMERS
 IN RALLY HERE

The negroes of Faulkner county today staged their first annual county fair, several hundred negroes from all points of the county being in at- tendance. Addresses by c. w. Wat son, state agent of the United States demonstration forces, John l.. Phil lips, county agent, and Miss Emma Archer, state agent of the girls canning clubs, were features of the gathering. The fair was held at the negro public school.
 A large room at the school con- tained many exhibits, includinr many articles of needle work, made by the negro women and girls of the county, which equaled any ever seen here. There were exhibits from the boys and girls clubs, a we'll as from the poultry clubs, which attracted much attention. Az ricultural exhibits of all kinds were on display.
 At noon today a grand parade was given, the line of march including the principal down town streets.

success of the first election, and the absence of trouble of any kind will go far in popularizing the new or der of things. The sentiment for consolidation of elections had been growing in the state for some years, and the principal opposition came from those who considered it unwise to bring federal control into charge of state elections.

others the man who was to have mar
ried them has fallen at the front or
returned a hopeless wreck.
The problem before England now is
to convince these girls that they must
do something for their country, or.
failing that, to compel them. They are
all intelligent, able-bodied girls, who
would make excellent workers, and
they are willing enough, but they are
prevented by the snobbery of their
class from undertaking any work
which they do not consider "ladylike.'
They are willing enough to undertake
nursing in a Red Cross hospital or
even to drive an ambulance, and the
thing they like most of all is to sell
little flags in the street for the various
war charities, but they look on real
work as degrading and undignlned.
OF course, this does not apply TO the
whole class. Thousands OF girls OF
good families have entered the NUM-
ton works and are making shells, and
thousands more are working on the
farms at the lighter tasks which
women can do
AS a matter of fact, it is on the farms
that women are needed most just now.
There is large amount OF farm work
that women, under skilled dlrectloii,
can do lust as well as men, and there is
less prejudice too, among the mlddie
classes against their women doing TINS
kind of work than there is against
them entering a factory. Several OF

girls for the land. giving them modi-
cum of training and sending them OF
to the farms in large parties. By this
system they are enabled to work in
groups of friends, or at least of ac-
quaintances, and to cater for them
selves more or less in the way that
they have been accustomed to.
The curious thing about the situation
is that these town girls are replacing
the country-bred women. The farmers
and farm laborers' daughters have for
years been focking to the towns, to
enter domestic service, the factories
and the shops. Now the town girls are
taking the places which they have de-
serted on the farms. In many districts
a milkmaid may now be seen for the
first time in a generation. The old
fashioned country milkmaid sur
rendered her place long ago to a cow
man. Now the cowman has gone to the
war and his place is filled again by a
girl. but by girl bred in the town
who probably never saw COW at close
quarters until she took up her new
job.
Some of the farmers declare that the
town girls. want to spend too much
time grooming the cow and "mucking
out" the cowhouse. but added cleauli-
ness can only lead to the improvement
of the milk supply, and incidentally to
the better health of the COW.
There is still, however. a vast reeer-
voir of female labor to be tapped in
England and many people believe that
only CONSUMPTION will tap 1t.
