gle sounded notifying the men of some duty to be performed, but the bulk of the men paid no attention to it. They are busy enjoying home life while they may, and storing up energy for more strenuous time which lies before them.
 These men are reaping the benefit now of their early enlistment. Most of them will remain here for long time, possibly for the length of the war, their duty being to train the raw recruits for the army. As soon as one regiment is trained and sent out other untrained men will be sent in to take their places.
 The officers also are enjoying them selves and altogether, both the off. cers and men are about the jolliest, most agreeable and gentlemanly, big bunch of men it has been my pleasure to be amongst and they like visitors and company.

RAISING BULLETS IN HILLS.

There is an old story about the h. dian who planted powder, as well as the boy who planted coin, with the expectation of reaping harvest in kind, but right now we have an op- portunity of planting something that will have more effect in this war than the bullet, the powder or the coin. A potato planted now, according to 8 Pennsylvania railroad bulletin, will be more effective in the fall of the year than bullets. It is a statement that is accepted as true by the government experts, and we'll take it for granted they know, and go to work along that line.
 The man who knows the soil and it's cultivation, needs no advice on the potato, the work in his direction mere ly being to get him to plant enough Of them. The city man who plants pota- toes through patriotism, needs bit of advice and let's hope the agricultural experts will not overlook it. They should be advised that the spring crop

WEDDING
 IS MADE PUBLIC
HARRISON BUFFALO AND MISS ETHEL CANISTER WERE MAR REED BY REV. L. E. N. HuND-
 LEY ON MARCH 3.

The Rev. L. E. N. Hundley, pastor of the Pulaski Heights Methodist Episcopal church this week announc- ed that on the night of March he married Harrison Buffalo, wealthy planter of Coy, Lonoke county, and Miss Ethel Canster, a teacher in the schools of Monticello. The ceremony took place at the Hotel Marion.
 The Rev. MT. Hundley said that he kept the marriage secret at the re- quest of the bride and groom because Miss Canister wished to complete her years school work. He received let ter from MT Buffalo this week that the brides school work was complet- ed and the minister now was at lih- erty to announce the marriage.

Ithey have planted cannot be expected to figure in the world supply further than to release what surplus stock there may be on hand, by the city pro ducer consuming his own crop. The spring crop of potatoes in Arkansas will not keep. It's feeding value Is high, and it will keep many families for weeks and well repay for the planting, but the chief value is in the production of seed for the fall crop. The small potatoes of the spring crop, as we'll as many of the large ones as can be spared. should be put back into the ground in June, and a fall crop grown that will keep and can be shipped anywhere.
 The food experts are telling us they are not wanting Arkansas to do so much toward helping on the outside right now, being well satisfied if Ar kansas will feed itself and stop draw ing on the outside for the staples of life.
 Another ching the city farmer should be informed about. is that the potato most commonly grown in Ark ansas, the Bliss Triumph, does not bloom, or rarely does. We know of men who have had considerable farm ing experience who grew a crop of po- tatoes of this species last fall and be- cause they did not bloom, Thought there was nothing but tops, and failed to dig them. When their gardens were broken in the spring, most of the crop was intact, having been deep enough to survive the rigors of win ter.

IF IT IS WHAT IT SEEMS-LETS
 HAVE IT

Selective draft, or a limited con- scription seems right now to be mat ter that is causing considerable dis cussion, but why it should is beyond many of us It is not a proposition that affects the brave, but one that will force the craven coward to bear his portion of the nations defense. So far no age limit has been agreed upon, but there should be none. If the coun try needs it's men, only the infirm should be exempt from service. Under the volunteer system the flower of young manhood is taken ln- to the army, and forms the bulwarls of the country's defense. The lag. gard, or as he is now known, the stacker, stands in the background and permits his burdens to be borne on the shoulder of the volunteer. He of ten sneers at his work. If the troops must go into battle the best of the country's manhood falls. leaving the more common clay to repopulate the country with patriots such as they were A few generations of such and it would be impossible to raise cor poral's guard by the volunteer system
 The system of conscription, if we correctly understand it, means that every man bears his own burdens. The men are classified in accordance with their ability. If they can do one thing better than another, and there is a demand for that thing in the govern ment's program, he is set to doing that It insures against shirking. It makes patriots out of men who would not otherwise come to the call of their country.
 It is true that the flower of the country will go to war under this measure, but there will be some thorns to go along with the. flower. It will not be solid line of the country's finest for the enemy to shoot at. There will be here and there a man who IS forced in against his will who will furnish a resting place for the bull let instead of the volunteer, who would otherwise have been standing in that very spot.
 At such time as this, it is the duty of every man to stand behind the President, be he Democrat, Republican or even Socialist He has studied the different systems of raising an army, and he wants the selective draft, hence we should all want it.

This pleases the Pod Man, for he knew the colonel in private life and is certain that in complimenting him. so, the of fcials only rendered praise where it was due. The men of this regiment are of superior metal and every rank and calling of life is represented in it, and the higher authorities in compli- menting their commanding officer >ex- tend the same need of praise to the rank and file as to their commander.
 One thousand more men are needed in this regiment, but they do not want single farmer boy to enlist, because they consider the raising of food at least twice as important as the fight ing. because for each man there is one woman to be fed, whom each consid CTS more important than himself, also there are children and the old and in- 1 firm.
 My object in visiting the fort was for the purpose of informing myself 1 first hand so that I could assure the farmers of Pulaski County. First that there is no immediate danger of the men being taken away from the farm. l Second that this war does not mean hard times for Arkansas, but to the contrary, it means the spending of millions of dollars monthly with Ark ansas citizens, and that from now on they will witness the most prosperous times in the entire history of the world. Never before in any nation has $7,000,000 900 been appropriated at any one time. Think of it, seven thousand millions of dollarsi

NO STAMP. TAX
ON ANY POLICIES
PEOPLE UNDER WRONG IMPRESS
SION TOUCHING INSURANCE
ISSUES.

The war revenue bill does not re-
quire that stamps be affixed to insur-
ance policies but tax to be assessed
on the returns made by the persons
engaged in this line of business
Statement to this effect wa& made
yesterday by Collector James M.
Cathcart, who said that he wished to
correct an erroneous impression
which some have gained regarding
this special phase of the revenue bin,
Many people are under the impress
sion that stamps are to be affixed to
insurance policies, but such is'i not
the case-the tax is simply to be as
sessed on the returns made by those
engaged in this line of business, and
is effective from November l, 1917"
he said
Under the provisions Of the bill
the taxes due on life, fire, marine,
casualty and insurance are to be as
sessed on returns made to the office
of the collector of internal revenue,
these returns to be made monthly
and fifteenth of each month The
first rteurn for November will be due
from December l, to December Is,
1917.
1.-The tax on life insurance is per
cent of the amount of insurance ex-
cept in industrial or weekly payment
plan where the policy is less than
$500 in which case the tax is 40 per
cent of the first weekly premium.
Marine, inland and fire insurance
as we'll as casualty insurance is taxed
ing l per cent for each 81 or frac-
tional part thereof paid as premium. "
