EXPECTING LARGER
 APPORTIONMENT
New Federal Law Governing Militia Effective July 1-Ar- kansas Guard Should be Re cruited to Full Strength.

Little Rock, June S.-A big camp of instruction such as has been held in Plattsburg, Pa, and will be in progress in Texas next week, is an- ticipated by the Arkansas National Guard when the apportionment of government funds is made this year. The Arkansas guard is expecting more than in former years, which will make it possible to extend the privileges of the schools of instruc- tion to the citizens who desire to take advantage of the opportunity to practice preparedness.
 The new Federal law governing the state militia goes into effect on July 1 and under it the Arkansas Guard should be recruited to it's full strength This law provides one-fourth pay of the regular army for privates, netting the Guard members of this rank about $4 per month. The captains of the companies receive about $500 per an
 
 officers above the rank of captain re- ceive $250 per year.
 The captain of the companies are the ones at the heaviest expense, and as the success of the companies are directly upon their shoulders, re- ceives more than any of the other Of ficers.
 Capt A. B. Sloan, the army officer detailed to the Arkansas Guard, was recently ordered to report at San Antonio as an instructor in the school which is to open in that city June F, but the order was later res cinded so he remains with the Arkan- sas Guard.

MARKET DECLINES
 SLIGHTLY IN N. Y.
Loses Previous Advance and Closes II to l6 Points Down New Orleans Selling of New Crop Deliveries.

New York, June 8.-The cotton market just about lost yesterdays advance during todays trading, with October contracts selling down to l2.Slc, or 9 points below the best point reached on the bulge of the previous day. The close was easy at the lowest point or about Il to 16 points under last nights closing fig ures.
 The opening was steady at de cline of 2 to points. Houses with Liverpool connections were good buy CTS here, but there was New Orleans selling of new crop deliveries and also scattering local liquidation, and prices eased off to a net loss of Il to 12 points before the end of the morning. The failure of Liverpool to fully meet yesterdays local advance and news to confirm yesterdays rumors of more favorable political developments seemed to encourage the selling move ment, while prospects for clearing weather in the South were considered favorable and there also were re- ports that yesterdays advance had attracted some Southern hedge sell ing.
 In the late trading the market weakened under renewed liquidation.
 Cotton closed steady.

PUBLIC AND PRIVATE
SCHOOLS

A glance over magazines and news

enormous number of advertisements

girls sent away to such schools be

parents feel 1t Is an advantage fol-
them to be thrown on their own re
sources and develop self reliance.
The older theory was that It was
desirable for young people to attend
high schools in their own town OF
their neighborhood. 1t was argued
that this gave them a better acquain
lance in their own locality. AS they
were likely then to settle down at
some work in their home places, this
local acquaintance had its value.
Today young people scatter widely,

A distinguished educator once re.
marked that the boys who graduated
from private schools come to college
better prepared than high school
graduates. But he said that at the
close of the college course, the high
school graduates are apt to stand bet
ter. Apparently the reason is that
private school pupils are often rich

necessity of working.
Private schools undoubtedly turn

this refined environment they acquire

biggest assets in life. But they are

immature age. The scholastic advan-

ed, but meanwhile unwholesome as.
sociations may be formed. Before
sending them to distant school one
ought to be quite positive that the
educational facilities near home are

TARIFF FOR DEFENSE

Blacklisting of certain American

war by the allies not only to pro.

Germany.
The United States is stacked with
gold and all Europe will want It, To
get 1t goods in, vast quantities must
be sold in this country. That they
will be dumped upon us cannot be
doubted--if the invasion OF our mar

THE WOES OF A DRY FARMER

The gopher is an awful pest;
He eats up all our crops.
To kill him we have done our best.
But still alive he hops.
We have no peace, for night and
day.
We're Ill at ease about our pay.
Full well we know that what we gain
Must come from what we raise.
And so It is always with pain,
We watch old gopher out to Craze.
He whacks the grain before our eyes
And cares not whose 1t is.
His form swells to a ponderous size,
For life to him is bliss.
We lay out dope for him to eat,
In hopes that he will die,
But just the same, he mows the wheat
And turns next to the rye.
II some wise man could tell us,
How to kill this awful pest,
And do 1t soon,
In fact, right now,
We'd certainly feel blest!
