WOODRUFF COUNTY
is NO "SLACKER"

The official figures received
from Washington City this morn
ine. showing the number of men
that will be drawn from the va
rioos counties of Arkansas to fill
their respective quotas in the
United States army, give the
number required from this coun-
ty at is, a smaller number than
from any other county. AS the
eplistments in all branches of
the service have been deducted
from the total number required,
this means that more men have
volunteered to serve their coun-
try, according to population, in
Woodruff county than in any
other county Of the State. Had
the drawing been postponed a
few days longer, Woodruff coun-
ty would not have been in the
draft at all.

The Cost of Dogs

At this time, when the world
needs food, when women and
children are starving in Europe,
the United States is paying
1915, 100000 per year to feed the
dogs of this country. The small
sum of ten cents a day will save
a Belgian child from starvation.
Would it not be better to have
fewer dogs and more children in
the world.
The Manufacturers Record
has collected statistics on the
dog population of the United
States, and the figures as to
the cost of feeding this dog pop
ulation are the Records. The
Record advocates a dog tax that
would result in the killing of
worthless dogs and result in
much additional revenue for the
country. Not only would the
class of dogs be bettered by the
law, but valuable economic adj
Vantages would be gained. Here
IN Arkansas sheep raising is I'M
profitable because of the packs
OF vagrant dogs that may reduce
or destroy the sheep raiser's
pfohts over night by killing his
Sheep and lambs. So it will be
seen that not only do the dogs
cost stupendous sum, but they
reduce the food supply by pre-
venting the raising of sheep and
goats.
But when we get down to
naro facts we realize that the
legislator who attempts to inter-
1ere with the free and unlimited
output of dogs courts disaster,
ana disaster is the last thing
mat a legislator desires to court.

AGRICULTURAL CLUBS
IN WOODRUFFCOUNTY

A few weeks ago The Home
News mentioned the fact that
our farmers in various parts of
Woodruff county were aroused
to the necessity for organization
and cooperation for better Gull
tivation of crops, better market
ing facilities and for better home
life.
We are glad now to be able to
say that the sentiment in favor
of organization and cooperation
is spreading and growing with
most gratifying results. We learn
from various sources that the
people of many communities are
seriously discussing the question
and taking steps to form perma-
nent organization of Agricultu-
raj Clubs. The ladies, too, are
not one whit behind the men in
forwarding the movement, which
is perhaps the most encouraging
feature of the whole business.
To illustrate: A farm woman in
a prosperous community, when
asked for her support, replied.
"Of course | will do all | can for
such an organization. If my
Ineighbors knowof better ways
and better things, I shall be glad
to learn. If learn how to bet
ter conditions, it will give me
pleasure to let my neigbors share
that knowledge. And, more than
all else, | want my children to
learn.
We are also glad to say we have
learned from some of our farmer
friends in the Boards Church
neighborhood, where a club was
formed two weeks ago with over
a hundred members, that our
County Demonstration Agents
are attending the meetings and
giving assistance wherever they
can be of service.
The latest practical effort for
organization of which we have
heard was at Union Church last
Friday night, when twenty far
mers assembled to take definite
action. A resolution to form an
Agricultural Club at Union
Church was unanimously adopt
ed. In order to give all an op-
portunity to participate in the
election of officers, it was decided
to meet again next Tuesday night,
when a permanent organization
will be perfected.
Given six to ten of these clubs
throughout the county, with a
central club composed of dele
gates from the local clubs, as we
understand is the intention of
those moving in the matter, and
Woodruff county will forge ahead
along agricultural lines and in
| home life betterment at a rate

EXPERT SENT TO ARKANSAS BY GOVERNMENT TO JOIN EXTEN-
 SION DIVISION FORCES.
MANY CATTLE STILL REMAIN
1t Is Said There Are At Least 15o,oOo Head That Should Be Moved From the Texas Ranges Before the
 Winter Sets In.
Little Rock


 The Arkansas Profitable Farming Bureau of the Little Rock Board of Commerce was notified that the Blu reau of Animal Husbandry at Wash ington has sent L. c. Palmer to Ark ansas to cooperate with the Uniyer- versity Extension Division in organ izing the farmers and cattle men of Arkansas in bringing in cattle from the drouth-stricken districts of Texas.
 Arkansas cattle men have been doing their patriotic duty by trying to help save the cattle from the drouth- stricken districts of Texas and they have been able to buy the cattle at very fair prices until recently" said J. H. Mcleod, senior live stock spe- cialist of the division. 'But recently so many buyers were on the market at one time that it caused the cattle to go higher in price than they would have gone otherwise. This was due to the fact that every Arkansas stock man who wanted 8 carload of cattle would go to Texas and try to make the purchases himself. In order to overcome the difficulty and to help Arkansas men to buy cattle at prices that will enable them to make a fair profit, the Bureau of Animal Illus bandry has sent MT. Palmer to ArR- ansas.
 Our reports shows that the dreuth is continuing in Texas. Fifty thous- and head of the Texas cattle have been brought into the Southeastern states and Arkansas men have done their share by purchasing at least 15s 900 head. However, there are at least 150000 head that should be moved from the Texas ranges before winter sets in. We want to help the farm CTS and cattle men of Arkansas to buy these Texas cattle at the right time, the right place and the right price. Mir. Palmer is here to help in this work He wishes to cooperate with the county agents, the bankers, farmers and other business men of the state in this work. Men who will CO operate in the purchase of from five to ten carloads of cattle can certainly do better than by working individual ly and competing with each other on the same market, while hot buying more than one carload each. MT. Pal mer's services are free, but stock men who desire to buy cattle should con- suit their county agents concerning the advisability of buying. After thor oughly discussing and considering the matter, if they decide they want to buy, they should write to the Univer- sity Extension Division at the old statehouse in Little Rock"

 LATURE SUSTAINED.
SOO,OOO ACRES INVOLVED
Case Was That of Ben Johnson and Others Against ]. 4. Bennett, Pres ident of the improvement Dis
 trct and Others.
Little Rock

Little Rock
 The Supreme Court held valid the act of the last Legislature creating the Arkansas Louisiana Highway i'm provement District, reversing the de cree of the Desha County Chaneery Court The case was that of Ben Johnson and others against ] A. Bennett, president of the improve. nent district, and others. The Chan cery Court held that the district was invalid and Bennett appealed on be- half of the district.
 The district embraces more than e00.O0O acres, and the roads to be constructed approximate 150 miles through Lincoln, Desha, Chieot, Drew and Ashley counties to the Louisiana line The main line or the proposed road runs from point near Warner, Lincoln county, to q point near Nc Gehee, in Desha county, through the towns of Warner. Dumas, Winchester and others At Dumas the road forks and one branch is to be constructed in southwesternly direction, pass ing through several towns and end ing at the southeastern boundary of the state near the town of Cypress. while the other branch runs south easterly through MeGehee. Lake yil- lage and other towns. and ends at the southern boundary of the state at Arkla.
 CavpraI atfacke mara made unon the validity of the statute. One ground was that the Legislature could not create a road improvement district embracing land ,in more than one county, but the Supreme Court held hat this is single improvement. and taxes gre to be levied in the sey- eral counties for the purpose of con tributing to the expense as whole, and not to any particular part Of the road and in this respect is not sub iect to the attack Other points of attack were that the Legislature could aof. authorize the improvement of the roads through towns, but this point had been ruled upon before The eourt has held that roads through towns might be included ill an i'm provemenf district. The attack also was made that the commissioners ap- pointed were nonresidents of certain of the counties where the road was 10 be constructed. but this is held to be not so, where the improvement is a single improvement
