JOY RIDES MAY BE STOPPED
 BY THE GOVERNMENT.

Washington, Aug. 13. Warn ing of the possibility of drastic action by the federal Govern ment to stop excessive pleasure use of automobiles during the war in order that gasoline needs of the United States and it's allies may be met is given in a state ment issued today by Director Van H. Manning of the Bureau of Mines, in which he asks the cooperation of automobile own CTS in stopping the practice.
 Enough gasoline to care for the requirements of America and perhaps that of it's allies will be saved. MT. Manning believes, If automobile owners of the country will stop unnecessary and extravagant pleasure riding and if owners and dealers handle this fuel in a careful and eco, nomical manner.
 "A patriotic. thoughtful and unselfish response to these sng- yestions." he said, would at ,nce solve one of the perplexins questions now before the war, making authorities. In order that the war may be carried on successfully the army and navy will have to have immediately on hand enough gasoline for the .eroplanes. trucks. automobiles. tractors and other machines There must be no dillydallyinp about this supply of gasoline and there won't be.

NICKNAME SAMMY"
 IS NOT WELCOMED

IS NOT WELCOMED American Soldiers in France De- clare Name is Inappropriate, Undignihed and Irritating as Applied to Them.
 American Traing Camp in France, Monday. Aug. 13. Not until the recent arrival in the camp of American newspapers did the soldiers of. the exDedi- tionary forces become aware that efforts were being made in certain quarters to fix upon them the name Sammy"
 That name never is heard on this side. Within the past few days the correspondent of the Associated Press has been ap- preached by great plumbers of officers and men asking that something be sent home telling the people there how the stand ard bearers of the American ar- my really resent what they con- slider an inappropriate, undigni- fled and irritating name.
 It can also be stated that the resentment does not rest alone with the officers and men of the army, but that it extends to all Americans resident in Paris and in other parts of France, many having written in to say that they consider Sammy" most unsuitable for men who have come to France seriously and ear- nestly to fight for the liberties of the peoples of the world.
 Please hit the Sammy propa- ganda as hard as you can," said an officer of distinguished rank to the correspondent today. The men and officers would be proud to have an appropriate nickname but there is not one among us who thinks Sammy is in any way suitable, and it cer- tainly is not desired.
 ''The name does not in any way suit a fighting man. We recognize, of course. that it is an effort to play upon the name of Uncle Sam. but who would think of calling Uncle Sam Uncle Sam my?
 It is rediculous. We had a discussion coming over on the transports as to possible nick names and Sammy was one suggestion, but it met with no favor whatever. None of the names suggested seemed just right, but there was some con- sensus of opinion regarding the proposal of the nickname John ny Tanks, which, of course. is combination of Johnny Rebels and Yankees from civil war days. No nickname can be fore d upon the fighting men. To stick it must be spontaneous and unanimously recognized as just the thing. Such a name may yet come to us. It is possible that the French themselves may solve the problem and give us a name that will not only suit us, put will be distinctly reminiscent of our stay in France.
 Perhaps something we shall do will give us our proper name. until that time we are willing to oe known as just plain American soldiers. willing and anxious to ,lo our duty"

Another thing which will certainly help to put Arkansas on the map was the winning last week of the 1918 convention of the National Editorial Associa ton. A delegation of Arkan- sans, headed by Gov and Mrs. Brough, went to Minneapolis and simply put it over in spite of seemingly insur- mountable obstacles. The victory was in no small degree due to the unique stunts pulled off by Fred Pattee, Earle Hodges, R. o. Schaefer, and other members of the Little Rock Press Club, who rank absolutely second to none in the originality of their adver tising and publicity getting enterpris- es The value of the victory for the Arkansas delegation can be more easily realized when we remember that such places as Miami. Fla. Detroit Mich. and St. Louis were strong bidders for the convention.

A Bureau of Labor Informa.
 ton for Farmers.

The farmers of this county should all become familiar with the fact that when they need extra labor they may enroll their names with Mir George Elder, county clerk of Chicot county. for he will also enroll the names of laborers who want work on farms and it will thus be easier for men and jobs to get together.
 If farmers are too busy to make a trip to the court house they can tele- phone their names in. and in this case they should give the number of their phone and their post office address so that laborers hunting for work may find them easily The laborer. too. may enroll by telephone if it is not convenient to enroll in person.
 This plan of mobilizing farm labor was decided upon by the State Council Of Agriculture Other states are doing similar work, and the United States Department of Agriculture is doing all that is possible to persuade the various states to adopt systematic plans with the object of making il easy for the farmer to get help and for the jobless man to ret work on farms.

To use the carbon bisulphide. i'll an air tight barrel (50 gallons capacity) 10 within about four inches of tho top with the grain to be treated Then pour over the top of the grain about one-half cup of carbon bisulphide and cover at once with heavy canvas to hold tha fumes in place.

Our New Island Possessions.

The final act of more than SO years
effort to bring the Danish West Indies
under the American flag was COM
pleted March 81, when Danish minis
ter Brun was handed treasury war
rant for $25, 900, 900, the purchase
price, and wireless messages were
sent to the American and Danish
authorities at the islands to lower
the Danish flag and raise the Stars
and Stripes.
AT noon the new possessions passed
definitely and finally under the auth
ority Of the United States.
"By giving you this warrant" :"
Secretary Lansing said, as he handed
the paper to the minister, II will
s,ve you the trouble Of transporting
48 tons OF gold. The value of this
paper In coin would be equivalent to
that weight"
With the formal transfer the
isauds became known as the Virgin
Islands of the United States, a title
chosen by the natives.
In all there are so islands, only
three large enough to be Of impor-
tance. St. Thomas is the most im-
portant and has one of the finest
harbors in The West Indies, which
will be transformed into strong
naval base for the protection of the
Panama canal. ST. Croix and St.
John are the other two large islands.

Laws Affecting
School Revenues
More Information on Recent Legislation
For Idaho.

Boise. Measures passed by the
last legislature affecting school
revenue are House Bills Nos. PSF
and 375. The state department of
education sends out the following
information for publication:
Some misunderstanding has
arisen concerning House bill 257.
To ensure clear understanding Of
the effect of this bill the following
statement is made:
I. Neither this bill nor any
other bill takes away the power Of
school districts to make special
levies. The annual meeting has
exactly the same power in this
respect as in the past two years, -
namely, to levy any amount up to
10 mills for the support of their
schools.
2. The bill provides a new and
higher minimum for the county
levy,-namely, that the county
levy must provide an amount not
less than SIS per child of school
age in the county. The county
commissioners may levy more than
this at their discretion.
8. A good many counties in the,
state have been levying more than
this amount. The new law will
not affect these counties in any
way.
q. In other counties the new
law will increase the amount of
money raised by the county school
levy. This should enable practi--
cally all school districts 10 the
county to get along with lower
special levy. The attention of
school trustees and taxpayers is
called particularly to this point.
S. The county school fund will
be apportioned in practically the
same way as before, 40 per cent
in proportion to the number of.
F. teachers and the remainder in pro-
portion to census with the exceeds
ton OF small amounts set aside for
rural high schools and very poor
districts.
| House bill 37s affects only inde-
pendent districts. Under this bill
the trustees CT independent dis.
tricts still keep all the powers
which they have had in the past to
make levies, and in addition they
may levy up to IS mills with the
approval OF the state board of
education.
