HOMINY, CRITS
 AND CORN MEAL
TO BE MANUFACTURED BY THE CUNNINGHAM GRAIN COMPANY, CONTRACT FOR NEW MODEL
 MILL ALREADY BEING LET.

What the company expects to be the most modern corn products mill in the Southwest Is to be installed by the Cunningham Commission Com pany within the next sixty days If will cost approximately $26,000 and will manufacture all grades of corn meal, grits and hominy, besides by products for use in mixing feeds. The mill uses a water process which husks the grain and removes the heart Of the corn, leaving the valuable meal portion clean and ready for mill ing. The Cunningham Company also plans to add 80 feet 10 the west end of it's warehouse. giving an additional storage capacity of fifty cars. Inn provements will also be made to the office building, and later concrete corn storage bins with capacity of 100000 bushels will be erected at the east end of the elevator.
 We already have sufficient eleva- tor room for any plant that we might anticipate" says George Cunningham. of the company. @but the corn mill we have contracted for will cost more than any elevator. t is what ia known as the water process. and the most up to date that can be found anywhere A mill just like the one We anticipate. was recently installed in Baltimore The government sent experts to look it over, and they stay cd week The outcome was the government taking it over, or instruct ing the owners to operate If 24 hours day for the government
 Our plant will take the corn ana run 1t through hot water The husl< ia then squeezed off and the germ of the grain is removed. leaving the val uable portion for meal making. Here tofore the germ has been removed by cutting, but by doing this about 2 per cent of the corn that Is valuable for meal making, was lost The new process lessens this to 3 per cent. and tue corn is in ideal condition for miil- ing, as fl has been sterilized.
 "Corn is cracked into about six pieces, and 1t Is then hominy. There are lUIbt Bidu pi lts tooioSt '1Nftt"' and fine. It is also rolled by some miIIers. It is cracked again, into about IS pieces, and becomes grits, of which there are also three grades. We expect to grind the most of our corn into meal, though, but we will be in position to handle all the demand there is for hominy and grits.
 "1he germ of the corn is valuable for feeds, as well as the husk from fhe corn. The government tells us that the husl is beneficial to mixed feeds, up to a certain per cent Almost seasons of the year we will utilize the germ of the corn in our mixed feeds: but when it has higher value for it's oil producing qualities, we will dis nose of it to concerns which extract it. Oils for paints and varnishes arc largely made from the germ of corn. but now they make salad dressing and corn will no doubt be as valu;i~ ble for it's oil as cotton seed.
 "The contract has already been let for our new meal plant, but we wiii and add the fire proof concrete storage tanks until early next year, and p0ssi- bly, nor then. unless cement is cheap CT than it is now"

LARGE ATTENDANCE
 ON THURSDAY
QUARTERLY MEETING SHOWED GRATIFYING PRoGRESS-ACT- NTIES REPORTED BY VA
 .RiOUS ORGANIZATIONS

"The results of poor roads is that the pigs get food for which thousands of people in the city would be willing to pay good prices,". said Mrs. A. M. Goodson of Ferndale, secretary of the Pulaski County Community Club, Tn an address on "The Needs of Pulaski County" at the luncheon given mem bers of the club by the Board of Com merce at the Hotel Marion Thursday. Better roads are the first great need of the county" Mrs. GoodSon said. With the demand for farm produce growing greater each day and the in crease of production on the farm, the average farmer finds himself possess. ed of produce which he cannot con- sume and which he had far rather market than take the trouble to save by canning or other process. He caE- not afford the time it takes to carry his produce to market nor would 1t be marketable after being hauled over such roads as we have in many sec lions of Pulaski county
 Mrs. Goodson emphasized the need of a county superintendent and of the 12-mill tax so the schools of Pulaski county can offer salaries that will at tract and kep competent teachers ant that will make possible longer terms.
 Better organization was the third need urged by Mrs. Goodsen. There is one serious obstacle in the way Of thorough organization in almost every community and that is skepticism, she said. "The farmer has always been accustomed to pay well for ev- erything he got and many farmers seem unable to get over the idea that they will get nothing worth having without paying cash. Naturally this class doesn't realize that we are pay ing for all the government is doing for us whether we. get the benef1t or it or not. A number of women re- fused to sign the registration cards for food conservation for fear there was fraud in it somehow and Tor similar reasons they fail to seize nu- merous other opportunities Whleh would be a benefit to them. Many of these same women would make ex- cellent workers if the local clubs would strive to correct wrong impress sions and draw them into their club circles.'
 E. J. Bodman, president of the Profitable Farming Bureau, and Mrs. Clio Harper were elected a Board or Directors of the county organization. Mrs. John Nj. Pemberton of Scotts was elected a delegate to the Arkan- sas Federation of Women's Clubs at Fort Smith. Mrs. R. c. Hayden or Mabelvale was elected an alternate Miss Marcella Arthur was elected neld secretary of the association. Mss Arthur, working under the auspices or the Arkansas Profitable. Farming Bu- reau, has been serving in that capac- ity. Mrs. A. l.. Alexander of Scotts gave S10 to the club with which to buy stationery.
 Next Meeting December 10.
 The next quarterly meeting of tue county organization will be Saturday, December Is. It is planned to make
The Pulaskian., 1917-09-28

it an open meeting to which all mem bers of the community clubs in the county are invited Miss Arthur sug- gested that the Board of Commerce try to make the day attractive for the women of the county by endeavoring to induce the merchants to make it special trades day and to offer spe- cial Christmas sales.
 Reports from the clubs showed that many are working for the Red Cross The Halstead club has done much Red Cross work, and entertainments have been planned to provide funds in or der that the school year may be heightened. An entertainment for the purpose of raising money to buy 3 drinking fountain for the sehoolhouse was given at Zion Hill and one wo- man in the community had taken the initiative by taking a little sick child into her home for 12 weeks and car ing for it.
 The Mabelvale delegate said the Community Club there had planned to give it's school better equipment and has provided it with dictionary and three waste paper baskets. She said that soon the club would have enough money for drinking foun-' tain for the school.
 The Ferndale club plans to equip it's school for basketball and that the women in that community had been collecting rags to send to the soldiers at Camp Pike to be used in wiping off their guns and for other purposes.
 New Clubs Represented.
 Roland Community Club, oranized Tuesday. sent a delegate, and Sweet Home Club organized last Friday, all so was represented The Jacksonville Community Club reported that 1t is planning much improvement in its school and that the first thing to be done is to install lights, since the building is used as a community cen ter. Mrs. Pemberton of Scott report ed that Scott Community Club has do mated 150 volumes to the library at Fort Roots Other clubs reporting were the Worthen Wildwood, Geyer Spring and City Federation. Natural Steps and Cato hope soon to have we'll organized clubs.
 Mrs. Charles H. Brough, wife of the governor, spoke on the subject, The Women's Council of Defense" and urged the purchase of Liberty bonds. Mrs. Rogers Pierce outlined the work of the Red Cross workroom. Miss Arthur explained the purpose or the organization and suggested many things to be done. Miss Minnie Allen spoke of the county exhibit.

Dickinson and Hamp Williams. of the work of food conservation: w. c. Lasseter, direc- tor of the University Extension Di. vision, and Mrs. S. c.

WILL ADD PLANT TO
 MIX MOLASSES FEED

Still another feed manufacturing plant of Little Rock is to install ma chinery and tanks for the mixing of molasses feed, the J. F. Weinmann Milling Company. This work will not be done until some time during the winter or spring. as the plant is now working too steadily to warrant stop ping for the improvements necessary.
 The J. r. Weinman Milling Com pany is probably the largest grinder of corn meal in Arkansas and right now is turning out tons of it every day. The plant also grinds chops and mixed feed, and turns out q molasses feed, but the molasses mixture is pur- chased from other plants and shipped in It is mixed with the grain at the Weinmann plant.
 Little machinery will have to be added for the molasses feed plant at the Weinmann mill, as the same mix CT as is now in service can be utilized. Tanks in which to store the molasses, and conveyers to transmit to the mix CTS, will have to be added.
 
 six weeks the cattle business of Tex as will suffer irreparabfe loss. Our breeders are holding their cows just as long as they can, and many of them would ship to grass in other states if il could be found. It occurred to me that possibly the state of Arkansas might graze thousands of these cows, and l am writing to ask if you can put us in touch with anyone in that state having grass to lease. believe that if few thousand herd of these cows were shipped to Arkansas and your stockmen and farmers were g.s- en an opportunity to see them side by side with their native cattle fl would have very wholesome effect and greatly assist you in your efforts to encourage them in the purchase of better breeding stock.
 Please advise us by early mail what you think of the possibility of securing range in your state for some of these cattle, how long the grass would carry them, number of acres per head. whether fenced or unfenc- ed, etc"

were some things in which Uncle Sans
army education far exceled it. No
money could buy such benefits as the

should be proof enough that all Of Ad-

The Hon. Frank l.. Fish, of Vergen-
nes judge of the superior court, led in
the formal speech making, Your po-
sition is like that of the nations" he
said to the boys. 1--WE entered the war
unwillingly, in that we had no desire to
make war; it was forced upon US, as IL
is forced upon you, to defend the liber-
ties to which our fathers pledged this
country at its birth 1t is great
honor to have been picked for the great
new national army, the greatest army
the United States has ever known.
IAN these old veterans on our right are
proud and glad they went and fought
for the preservation Of the Union, and
you will return some day proud and
glad that you have done your part in
freeing the world from the domination
of an autocracy of Prussian rule. D."
The Rev. l.. M. lsaacs, pastor of the
Orwell Congregational church, spoke
earnestly on the position Of the church
in the war. 1--WE are together IN this
fight, said he, because we are Christ
ians, You will be making the same
fight abroad that the church is making
at home the fight against injustice,
the fight for righteousness. Motives
which usually send nations TO war are
lacking we have no lust for gain, no
hate. no ranker. We are fighting for
ideals. The church at home will strive
to be worthy of the sacrifice you boys
will make for our common ideals. We
would covenant with you-that the
church should be worthy for you to die
for US, ! congratulate you upon being
our first members of the new national
army"
The Rev. T, B. Hughes of Bristol
turned the big audience from its sober
reflections on the serious things which
Mr.. lsaacs had said when he told of
the Kaser's recent visit to his Ameri-
can dentist. "Perhaps'', said he, ''lhe
Kaiser was afraid he would lose his
crown! Or had he found that he had
bitten off more than he could chew -
Mr. Hughes, a Welshman, leaned over
the rostrum rail, and grasped the folds
of one of the flags. 1.-The sweetest
flag" said he that ever kissed the sun
light of God in the breezes of heaven,
and with glowing enthusiasm he pic
tured the glory of the sacrifice the new
army men were making to defend it.
The Rev. 7. j. Leonard, pastor of st. |
Mary's Roman Catholic church, made
the most fervent appeal to the boys and |
