,, case few districts cause further
postponement Of the draft" the war
department will rush federal officials
into those districts.
No definite date can be fixed until
all states are ready. Secretary Baker
will confer with Provost Marshal
General Crowder today and put the
finishing touches upon the prepara-
tions.
Crowder says the census estlmate
tangle in congress will not alter or
delay the draft.
"Following the law, we called upon
the official bureau for estimates"
Crowder said. 1--WE cannot go behind
those figures"

hour for the lottery. what official will
draw the first number and where the
drawing will be held.
The following states are delaying
the drawing:

WASHINGTON July T.-Census

tiles today denied northern states
had been penailzed in population
estimates for the draft or that the

"paper population census" and bark

investigation, Director Rogers, OF the
bureau. asserted I'VE think the popu,
lation is fully what we gave in the
estimates"
The war department explained the
estimates were fixed for the draft, to
eoualize the burden Of rural disturb
arce and industrial centers.
"Tn cities where many young men
had flocked to work in war indus
tries, the registration was unusually
high and the population figures were
boosted to fill the registration"

 The Egyptian ,~Fe;Iah."

The Egyptian "Fellah'' is curious mixture of independence and submis- siveness. He would never consent to the wholesale disclosure of his affairs requisite under the cooperative sys- tenn. He is as secrctivc as the Scotch man, as land hungry as the French man. He is ill some ways as ignorant and as submissive to authority as the poorest European peasant. He had always obtained ample credit, but at a terrible price. For short periods he would pay 50 and 60 per cent and when, in 1899, an effort was made to create an equitable system of rural credits the average existing rate of in terest for all loans was p per cent per annum. Suspicious to a degree, he had to be approached very diplomatic ally by personal meetings, often re- peated. before he could be convinced of the bona tidts of a bank offering him
 money at 8 anu 9 per cent. His con fidence was won, however. and ne proved an honest and rciiubie client.

Roy B. Fowles has resigned his po- sition with the Pine Bluff company, with which he has been associated for several years, and will become ac- countant for the Knox-Walker Fur niture company. MT. Fowles is one of the best accountants in this sec tion, and for two years has been sec retary of the Arkansas Public Utili- ty Operators association, being re- elected at the recent state convention here.
 The Knox-Walker company's whole sale and retail business has assumed such proportions that the services of man of MT. FoWles' capabilities has become imperative, and that cor pany is being congratulated upon the new acquisition. Despite the large display rooms and storage facilities the Knox4Walker company is finding it necessary to use temporarily the quarters formerly occupied by Reap & Crawford, and more recently by the Red Cross as a sewing room.

forces, contrasting the methods be- followed today with those of the civil war, and even the Spanish American war. He commended the selective draft as most democratic measure, and asserted that from very home from which one or more boys have gone into the battle for democracy and freedom there should fly the Stars and Stripes" With a star for each boy who has gone forth to fight that future generations of Americans may enjoy the privileges we possess today.
 The consideration of the govern ,ment is raising war funds was empla- sized by the speaker, who impressed upon his hearers that the government was not compelled to issue bonds; that it can conscript money just as it can conscript men, and that unless the people are willing to volunteer dollars that conscription of money will come. "The government can slap tax of $25 bale on cotton, and impose other taxes. You would have to pay, and all you would have to show would be a receipt" he said. Instead, the government offers to pay you 4 per cent for every dollar you lend."
 Colonel Remmell made a special appeal to the negroes to buy liberally of Liberty bonds, declaring "the col ored farmer is making the money to- day. and he should invest in bonds, 10th because of patriotic reasons and because these good times will not last always.
 Sorrells Gets Results.
 With one of his characteristic speeches, Circuit Judge wv. B. Sor' rells stirred bis auditors to action. He reviewed the history of the war, and emphasized the duty of the peo- ple of the nation. He told why they should buy Liberty bonds, and his explanation was so clear and force full. that the individual was made to feel fully the part he should take. Judge Sorrells said that in buying bonds one is not making gift to the government, but is making the safest investment possible. He also reterr- cd to the governments moderation Ill asking for volunteer dollars instead of conscripting them, and urged that the world be convinced that America is in tae war determined to win, ana thus peace be brought nearer.
 Subscriptions were called for, and applications for bonds totallng $zo,' 400 made.

NEW VENTURE IN CITIES.
Department of Agriculture Can Help
 Women ia Urban Communities.


 While the United States department of agriculture has for a long time been conducting work of benefit to city folks, it is now undertaking, directly and for the first time, to help the city woman in the work of promoting food production, fod conservation, and household thrift. To carry on this work through demonstrations and through other educational methods, congress made appropriations for wo- men city agents of the department The cities through their various or ganizations help to support the move ment, which is carried on by the de- partment in cooperation with the state colleges of agriculture.
 Plans of the Work.
 The plans for the city demonstra- tion agents call for the employment of workers who will co-operate with and work through organizations al ready in existence or help to form new ones where none exists. They will assist the city women in thoir prob lems concerning food production. pre- vcntion of waste, and the conservation of food. The actual lines of work in clude home gardening. poultry rais- ing, canning, drying, picking, preserv. ing. and bringing of fruits and veg etables, proper methods of storage in the homes to prevent loss, utilization of leftovers, economic methods of buying. prevention of unnecessary waste in the consumption of food, in troduction of new foods as partial substitutes for meat and wheat flour, proper diet, and other activities.

and later went to the tabernacle, where the announcement that MT. Fairbanks had not arrived was made by Judge sorrells, who then present ed Colonel Remmell.
 The tabernacle was well filled when rumbling of storm were heard. This caused the greater part of the assemblage to depart hastily, and deterred hundreds of others from go- ing to the meeting.
 America Not Safe.
 Proclaiming himself an American first and a partisan in politics af- terward, Colonel Remmell paid trib- ute to President Wilson, and lauded the cause for which the United States and it's allies are fighting. He recall ed the debt that we owe to France for the aid extended to Lafayette and Rochambeau, and declared people should not delude themselves with the belief that America would not have been attacked if Germany had conquered the allies. He. said that if Germany had been victorious, the kaiser would have levied tribute upon the United States just as he has inn posed fines aggregating $1,600,O00 up on conquered Belgium.

In spite of the best care one takes

The kidneys are the scavcngcrs and they
work day and night in separating the
poisons from the blood. Their signals Of
distress arc easily recognized and in
cludc such symptoms as backachc, de-
prcssions, drowsncss, irritabilIty, head
