FINDS HOOKWORM IN ARMY
Expert Says Disease May Bring
Unjust Penalties for
Offenses.

Discovery of hookworm infection in
At out of 75 militia recruits recently
mobilized for war service has caused
public health service authorities to rec
ommend prompt examination of all
units of the National Guard and Ma
tional army at present organized, es-
pecially those from the warmer parts
of the country.
Dr.. Wardell Stiles of the public
health service has reported that failure
to treat hookworm cases undoubtedly
will result in unjust and preventable
punishment of soldiers for offenses due
to remediable conditions. Danger of
widespread epidemic of hookworm in
Europe is pointed out if even light
cases are sent to the trenches.

THE TULIP IN POTS.

Some varieties of tulips are well
adapted to the flower pot. The Clu-
siana vent grows to a height of 20
inches, with a slender stem. The
leaves are very long and narrow and
the flower sometimes measures two
inches across. This variety is of the
funnel form, with bright lemon-yel-
low flowers, with light shading of
green or white, sometimes streaked
with pink. 1t is very fragrant, and
when properly cultivated is one of the
most beautiful of all the tulip family.
The tulip is easy to cultivate, as it
thrives well in either heavy or light
soil. 1t does better, however, in rather
light soil, well-drained and fairly rich.
Those grown in heavy, black soil pro-
duce smaller flowers, and the colors
are not nearly so bright. In some of
the uplands of Virginia the ideal tulip
soil is found for the growing of bulbs,
and it is said to be almost identical
with that of Holland, where this
flower is so successfully grown.

THE CARE OF YOUR PLANTS
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

Some persons labor under the delu-
sion that water must be applied daily
to their plants in the window garden.
More plants are killed every year
through this process than by any other
means. Plants watered every day are
literally drowned out, unless they hap
pen to have the best of drainage.
Others go on the "little-and-often"
plan-that is, they apply water in small
quantities whenever they happen to
think of it.
The result is the surface of the soil
is kept moist, and from this the owner
takes it for granted that the soil be-
meath must be properly damp.
Nine times out of ten examination
will show that an inch or two below
the surface the soil is dry. OF course
the roots of the plant cannot do their
work under such conditions. The plant
soon sickens and eventually dies and
the owner wonders what caused the
trouble.
Now, in watering plants several
things have to be considered. First
the nature of the plant. Some like
great deal of water, others only mod
crate amount.

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
SHOULD NOT BE PER-
MITTED TO FALL OFF.

The United States commits
sioner of education has issued
the following:
"To parent-teacher associations,
mothers clubs, etc.:
During the present school
year, and while the war contin-
ues, there will be many unusual
temptations for parents and
guardians of children to keep
their children out of school, and
there will be many difficulties
in the way of maintaining
schools at their full measure of
efficiency. On the other hand,
it is of the very greatest impor-
tance that the efficiency of the
schools shall be maintained in
every way and that there shall
be no falling off in attendance.
This is necessary both for the
present defense of the country
and for the welfare and safety
when the war is over. While
we are nghting Tor the MAIN
tenance of democracy we must
do everything possible to make
the democracy strong and eff
cient in every way. This will
depend on the schools more than
on any other one agency; and
I am, therefore, taking the lib
erty of suggesting to all parent
teacher associations and other
similar organizations that they
Immediately use all of their in
fluence in this direction. OF
course each association will
know of what is best to do for
its particular school and commu-
nity."

 The State Labor Bureau is advocat- ing the principal urged by the nation al Association that women who do mems work are entitled to mems pay, and that is the policy that generally prevails.
 With 25,000 of the men of Arkan- sas in the military service, which there will be by next spring, the vacant places left by them will be noticeable everywhere And while the laborers are decreased in number, the demand for the products of labor are propor- tionately increased. It means that those who remain at home must do do more and make more sacrifices, and eliminate the drones. And the people of Arkansas are ready for the test Their loyalty is proven and demon- strable in the things they are doing.
 The people of Arkansas have shirk- ed no duty in carrying out the cam paigns for the Red Cross, the Liberty Loans, the Food Conservation, the Li- brary Council, the War Work, Y NJ c.

a!.e Home Guard.

With the military units out of the state. fighting in France, or training in camps, the attention of the people of Arkansas who are interested in the maintenance of law and order will be turned toward the organization of some other effective means of defense at home The need might never arise, and again the emergency might come upon Us at any moment.
 To meet this requirement., a plan has been devised for an effective or ganization of the Home Guard, in which the men of the whole state who are not eligible to military service may be enlisted.
 Gov Brough has authorized the or ganization under the military laws of the state, and regulations have been devised by Adjt.-Gen. Lloyd England which will place them upon reeog- nized status of authority and power.
 Men are eligible for the Home Guard who are citizens of good moral character and physically fit. between the ages of 16 and 64, who may vol unteer for such service. There are to be two classes. Class 4 will consist of citizens enrolled between the ages of lS and 45, and Class B between the ages of 16 and IS, and 45 and 64. The written consent of parents or guardian will be required for the en- rollment of minors.
 A Home Guard company shall con sist of: One Captain, one First Lieu tenant, one Second Lieutenant, one First Sergeant, one Mess Sergeant, one Supply Sergeant, four Sergeants, six Corporals, one mechanic, two cooks. two buelers, and not less than 5 privates
 The members of the Guard are re quired to take the following oath. which t will be observed, does not bind them to service outside the state Aof Arkansas:
 T dc so2emnly swear that will bear true faith and allegiance to the United States of America and the State of Arkansas; that will serve them honestly and faithfully against all their enemies whomsoever, and that will obey the orders of the Gov ernor of the State of Arkansas and the officers appointed over me and faithfully perform my duties as a sol dier in the Home Guard, according to i the laws and regulations governing such military forces of the state of ] Arkansas"
 The War Department has ordered that the Home Guard must not wear a uniform that can be mistaken for that
The Springdale news., 1917-10-19

of any regulation uniform in the reg ular branches of the service. A per son wearing a regular uniform with out authority is subject to prosecution. The Government cannot furnish arms to the Home Guard companies, but it is recommended that they arm them selves with shot-guns, and provide such uniforms as they may desire. It is provided that the uniforms shall be of field gray color, which is about the color of slate. The regulations pro- vide in detail for every feature of the uniform and equipment, and will be furnished all companies that have been or may be organized.
 Each member of the Guard must submit to "cursory examination by a physician who should certify that he is physically fit to perform his du- ties as a member of the Home Guard v
 Blanks are also provided for con- plete service record of each member, showing the hours of drill, the num- Der of days present, the times absent with and without leave. In fact, it IS the purpose to put this semi-military organization on as nearly military footing as conditions will permit, so that they may be in condition for ac- tua1 service should disorders at home .a II fe,. ,,ao,.o esrietaF7op than the civil authorities are able to provide.

Two Paramount Questions.

There will be some members of the Constitutional Convention who will in- sist upon making a relatively few changes in the constitution, rather than completely rewriting 1t, as the most desirable thing to be done at this time. The newspapers of the state are taking up the discussion of the convention an dthe attendant politics in connection with it, and public inter est will be aroused by the time the convention meets on Nov. 19. There are two big questions to be determin- ed
 Shall the convention be deferred until next year, so that the finished instrument may be submitted within 90 days of the November election, and Shall the old Constitution be patch ed up or shall the organic law be wholly rewritten?
 There will be strong advocates on both sides of each question.

STATE NEWS ITEMS
By Clio Harper.

Little Rock, Oct 15-There never was such an era of prosperity as that which is prevalent in Little Rock at this time, and 1t is being reflected throughout the state combination of good crops and high prices, with the immense amount of government work that is in progress, and the sup plies that are being required by the government for it's military opera tions, is responsible for this condition. There is work for everyone that wants it, at wages such as have never before been known here There is no beg gary or pauperism apparent. Negro labor has gone up in price 50 that 1t is almost impossible to secure cheap negroes to work about the yard, and do the odd jobs for which they were glad to get six bits or dollar "befo' de wah."
 Employers in all lines of industry and commerce are finding 1t difficult to get laborers, especially skilled la bor There is scarcely business that is not feeling the effects of the shortage of labor, and when the thou sands who have been employed in the construction of Camp Pike are turned loose, they will not wholly solve the problem. As many as ten thousand men have been employed at the Camp, but they have come from all sections of the state and they will be readily absorbed in the regular channels of trade and industry.
 Just now the rice growers of Arkan- sas and adjoining counties in the rice belt are calling for least two hun dred more harvest hands. The Labor Bureau of the state has furnished about 500 during the last few weeks, but the demand for more men is ur- gent The saWmjlls also are calling for more men, and several hundred could be placed in this industry The mill operators say that they have suffered so great a shortage of labor that it is difficult for them to supply the demands of the Government for lumber There is also ! call going Up from the cotton planters of many sec tions of the state for cotton pickers The Scott's community of Pulaski county alone Is asking for at least three hundred pickers. The crop in this county is opening rapidly with the early October frosts. and should the favorable weather continue it will practically all be out of the field by Christmas. These are the conditions that are making the need of labor very great at this time More and more women are taking the place of men in the industries and trades. Many of them are being employed in saw-mills where men were formerly employed In Little Rock there are girls running
