NEW LIST OF 50
MEN TO MAKE
SEVENTEEN
REQUIRED
CONTINUED from page u

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE five
classes into which 100000 men
registered for military duty-and
those who are registered hereafter
are divided, and the order in which
they will be called for service was
announced officially today in the pro-
vost marshal's QUESTIONABLE which
every registered man must fill out
and file. The order shows some
change from the tentative draft pub
lished some time ago.
Contrary to some published re-
ports, it does not exempt married
men as a class, but does place mar
ried men with wives and children
far down the list of tables. In fact,
the QUESTIONABLE indicates that only
men of the first class will be called
to the colors except in the gravest
emergency.
The five official classifcations OF
registrants follow:
Class 4.
(a) Single man without depend
ent relatives.
CD Married man with or without
children, or father Of motherless
children who has habitually failed
to support his family.
Co Married man dependent on
wife for support.
(d) Married man, with or without
children, or father of motherle5s
children; man not usefully engaged
family supported by income indie
pendent of his labor.
(e) Unskilled industrial laborer.
-Registrant by or in respect o.
whom no deferred classification il
claimed or made.
-Registrant who fails to subm :
QUESTIONABLE and in respect of whom
no deferred classification is claimed
or made.
ALL registrants not included II
any other division in this schedule.
Glass 2.
(a) Married man with children OF
father of motherless children, where
such wife or children or such moth
erless children are not mainly de
pendent upon his labor for support
for the reason that there are rea
sonably certain sources of adequate
support (including earnings or pos
sf5le earnings from the labor of the
wife), available, and that the re
moval of the registrant will not de-
prive such dependents of support.

THE CONVICTION HIGH SCHOOL.

The following report of the Gov
ington High School has been made
by State High School Inspector G. A.
Ives:
CoyingtOn High School.
A general description of the build
ing and equipment at this place VIII
he found on page 10 Of the Novem-
her, 1916, issue of the Educationa-
Bulletin. Since that report was
written considerable improvement
has been made in the Covingtol
High School, as will be noted below:
$24OO is. being spent in filling in,
leveling and identifying the school,
grounds; $500 was spent recently
for laboratory apparatus; and new
department of domestic economy
has been installed. These are the
most important improvements noted
here. Besides these, number OF
smaller but important changes have
taken place. Physical training for
boys and girls is given this year
the boys in one group in charge Of
the principals, the girls in another
in charge of the lady teachers. This
feature of the work is very attrac-
tive to all the pupils; they like the
exercise and the exercise is doing
good, both from a physical and from
disciplinary standpoint. Another
attractive feature is the school gar
den, which was started this session.
The school organization, discipline,
and character of classroom work are
all commendable features. The fac
ulty is capable and Industrious and
consists of twelve teachers-fOur in
the high school department and eight
in the grades-Seventy-eight pupils
are enrolled in high school grades
and 319 in the lower grades. We
were very favorably impressed with
the thoroughness exhibited by the
principal in the matter of keeping a
business-like Office with full and &C
curate records of all the work done
by each pupil and records of all
financial and other important mat
tiers connected with the school.

recently, when he resigned because
of i'll health. Mrs. Barthe,emy-

Among the Farmers

Keep up the licks you are striking and then there will be some wonderful changes here in Monroe County, " said Farmer o. IL. Walker of the White Farm, southwest Brinkley. T can bear testimony to the good you are doing. want to see the merchants of Brinkley realize the truth of the doctrine you are preaching that they should be interested in seeing the pro- ducts of the farm bring the high est possible price. /"
 Mir. and Mrs. Mac J. Portwood of Pea Ridge, and Mrs. Joe Hix of Shiloh community. drove up to Brinkley in the Portwood car early Saturday morning. Mes danes Portwood and Hix were enroute to LittleRock where Mrs. Hix visited her son. Bryan Hix. a splendid member of the U. s. Army forces.
 How about that wheat for Fall
 planting, farmer friends? Every farm in Monroe county should
 have few acres. You can get
 the very best of seed from an Arkansas mill at wholesale cost. If communities will get together
 and decide on the amount of seed wheat they can use. the U. 5.
 Government will send a man here to assist in getting the movement on foot and secure the best seed at wholesale cost, | What do you say?

going out, another treat 1 en- joyed.
 But the story would not be complete unless 1 should make mention of the bathing. 1 have told some of my friends since I came back of two things 1 saw while gone that 1 never saw before, and that was the ocean and it's restless waves and women with their mod esty washed off by the waves. Just to see hundreds of people little, big, young and old, rich and poor, all one-half or more nude, out in the water and waves, and out walking in the sand was sight the like of which 1 never saw before. There seemed to be hundreds, yes thousands, of people along the beach and the various places of amusements-espec- ially the Pike-who were seeking more exciting amuse- ment than they had been able to find.
 But such is life at Long Beach just now. I fear they may be churching some of my good friends if they show some of their pictures they had talk en in their bathing costumes.
