VERY OPTIMISTIC
He Says the City Has Been

Resources

Two thousand members of the Mer-
chants Association of New York gath
cred yesterday at patriotic luncheon
given in the grand ballroom Of the
Hotel Aston. They cheerd when Sena-
tor-elect William NJ. Calder declared he
would stand squarely behind the Presi-

and they adopted resolutions declaring
their willingness to fight to the end
rather than witness the sacrifice OF
national honor"
Major General Wood said that the

Other Big Increases
Are Approved

mittee in its report TO the Senate
agreed upon after an all-day session to-
day.

billion dollars by adding sl23,ooO,OOo to
the measure as it passed the House
Appropriations are carried for the com
ing years share OF the great three
year building programme, and there are
various special provisions, including
authorization for the Communicating

plants in time Of national peril.
In Addition to Others
The fifty submarines are in addition
to the eighteen undersea craft already

bill as it passed the House. They make
sixty-eight submarines provided for IN
the bill There is little chance that
there will be any pruning OF this num-
Der in the Senate, the present FEELING
OF Senators being mostly that prompt

fence should be taken,
Another hurry-Up provision of the
bill reduces the present term at the

cadets TO the Naval Academy instead Of
three, as at present. Seventy-hve adj

In view Of the increase in the APP
preparation for submarines and the
condition that their construction shall

ton of S150,000,000 for speeding up
naval construction already authorized
was pruned to Sll5,000,000

ing the subcommittee report, added
three cutters for the coast guard, TO
cost not more than Sl.350,00 for the
three; S772,00O for extension of the
Washington Navy Yard and s75O,OOO
for a drydock at Charleston, S. {.
Other important increases approved
include 100000 for a high power radio
station in Porto Rico, 100000 for bat
tories for merchant marine auxiliarles,

Recruiting for Cavalry.


 The U. s. recruiting office a, Little Rock has been authorized by the War Department to receive white men as recruits for the cav airy. A number of Arkansas men have already been accepted and forwarded to Jefferson Barracks.
 Capt. Cartmell has been author ized to accept men for the engin- eering depot detachment. An az gregate of 1875 recruits are needed to be distributed among the 52 training camps. They are to be enlisted as privates, and will then be promoted as they may show themselves qualified. Mar ried men may be accepted for this service if they present card signed by an officer of the en- gineer corps.

When food that could have been eaten has been destroy ed, gold with all it's alchemy can not substitute; it has purchasing power, not food value. Millions of bushels of grain are. consumed an- nually by the flames. Roughly speaking, 40 per cent of those fires are preventable.

Soldier Insurance.

One of the uses to which it is proposed to devote part of the pro- ceeds of Liberty Loan Bonds is to afford to our soldiers and sailors life and indemnity insurance and to provide for allowances to their dependent families while they are in the ranks. On this point Secretary McAdoo of the Treasu- ", whose plan of insurance for our fighting men was endorsed by President Wilson and is now en- bodied in a law pending before congress, says:
 Every soldier and sailor who serves his country in this war will earn everything the proposed war insurance bill provides; to be a

Notice to Wheat Farmers.

All farmers who are contem- plating planting wheat this fall will please at once notify D. M. Clowney or c. A. Berry at Huttig how much seed they will want so that it can be ordered together and shipped directly, causing a saving in freight. It will be ordered and sold to the farmers at cost but the order must be sent off next week, so if you are not coming to town drop one of these men a postal or letter. The cost will be between $3 and $5. 50 per bushel and at least 4 bushels should be soWn per acre.

hGttig School Statement.

For the benefit of the patrons of Huttig school District No. 60 the school board presents the follow ing figures which should convince the most skeptical that in order to run free school for eight months that 1t is necessary to raise ad- ditional funds from some source:
 The receipts from all sources for the last term, including the $8Olz8 donated out of the hospit- al fund, were $5,4l6.6z and the expense of running the school was $6,66o.64, divided as follows: Teachers and janitors salaries, $5,O24OO; interest on bonds, $1,O2OOO; incidentals, $625. 54.
 The estimated expenses for eight months for this term is $Z,- 15O.OO, and the estimated re- ceipts, $4,5z6,25, with a possible $o4O.OO additional that may be received from tax suit.
 Next year we will receive taxes on l2-mill basis, which will in- crease the amount to about the actual running expenses of the school.
 It is the desire of the board to run an eight months free school but you can from these figures that it is an impossibility and the board asks the earnest cooperation of all in the payment of the small entrance fee asked
 If there are any pupils whose parents are not able to pay tn s amount or any patrons who do not have the welfare of the school and their children at heart enough to pay same several parties in Huttig will see that the amount due from them is paid in order that the chil- dren will not be the ones to suffer.
 The board also requests that any parties who buy books for children unable to buy them give same to the school instead of the child so some other poor child can use the books next term.

A Pat of Butter.

One pat or serving of butter is a little thing, there are about GA of them in a pound.
 In many households the butter left on the plates probably would equal one pat, or one-fourth of an ounce, daily. scraped off into gar bage pail or washed off in the dish pan.
 But if every one of our 2O,OOO,- 900 households should waste one fourth of an ounce of butter daily, on the average, it would mean 3l2,5OO pounds day-l14,O62,- 500 pounds year.
 To make this butter would take 265, ,261. .56O gallons of milk, or the products of over half million COWS.
 But butter isn't eaten or wasted in every home, some one objects Very well. Say only 1 in LOG homes wastes even a pat of butter a day, over 100000 pounds wasted. Still intolerable wher butter is so valuable a food and ev- cry bit of butter left on plates is se useful in cookery.

beneficiary of the proposed law will be badge of honor.
 When we draft wage earner, we call not only him but the entire family to the flag; the sacrifice en- tailed is not diyisible. The wife and children, the mother, the father are all involved in the sacri- fice-they directly bear the burden of defense. They suffer just as much as the soldier, but in differ ent way, and the nation must gen. erously discharge as a proud privi- lege the duty of maintaining them until the soldiers and sailors return from the war and resume the re- sponsibility.
 We have drawn the sword to vindlcate Americas violated rights. to restore peace and justice, and to secure the progress of civilization. We cannot permit our soldiers, while they hold the front, to be stabbed in the back by uncertainty as to what is being done for their loved ones at home. Our tomor- rows are in their hands-t theirs in ours. The national conscience will not permit American soldiers and their dependents to go unprovided with everything that just, gener- ous and noble people can do to compensate them for the sufferings and sacrifices they make for their country

Have Your Cotton Graded.

The gins are now running and we are kept pretty busy grading cotton for the farmers. Under the new gin law the ginner must take two samples from the bale as it is ginned and seal them. The GUS toner gets one of these samples, and if he wants to he can send it by mail to me or the U. s. Bureau of Markets, Little Rock, and it will be graded and report of the grade and length of the staple sent back the next day. This will enable the farmer to know exactly what he has to sell. He can keep post ed on the value by reading the market quotations.
 It will be worth from one to five million dollars to the farmers of Arkansas if they sell cotton on grade. Very few cotton buyers outside of the cities know how to grade cotton, and consequently have not been able to buy or sell it on grade. We have the services of a government cotton classer to grade your cotton, and it will cost you nothing for the grading.
 The government classer grades cotton on the government stand ards. The government standards have been adopted by all the prin- cipal exchanges and markets in the country. When your cotton is graded by our government chaser it will not be necessary to cut your bale and take'a sample. The gin her is under bond to take fair sample. When it is graded you know the grade and staple. You can guarantee the staple when you offer it for sale. That is better than anybody's sampling.
 A good many cotton buyers and ginners are trying to discourage the farmers about the law and the system. If the farmers and local merchants could know how much they have both lost in the past they would understand some of the knocks against the law. Some ginners claim the buyers will not buy on gin samples, and buyers will no doubt insist on cutting the bale and taking a sample. One cotton buyer in Nashville got six bales of cotton from the samples he cut from farmers cotton last year. and Nashville markets only about 5000 bales. Practically all foreign cotton is sold on gin sam pies. Over 100000 bales of for eign cotton are shipped to the United States and sold on gin sam ples.
 hope the cotton growers will lend their cooperation under the operation of this new law, and will take advantage of its benefits.

There has been no marked increase

institution from the courts for the
liquor treatment was stopped by the
change in the law, 1t helped for time
but now the condition is such that a
further solution is being sought. The
last monthly report showed 744 pa

the institution, but the legislature
in changing its laws, did not provide
for any transfer, so that II the con.
