SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC EFFECTS
OF FARM LOAN ACT


The rapidly increasing cost of liv-
ling has of late given American think
hrs a great deal of uneasiness. The
fact is everywhere recognized that
bur city population has been inCreas-
Ing more rapidly than the rural pop
-hlation. Every day there are some
more mouths to feed, but there is
pn.y slowly increasing acreage up
IN which this food is produced. Two
important facts are therefore patent:
First, more farms must be estab
ished to provide homes for more
producers, and, second, the land UNI
Per cultivation must be farmed more
carefully and with more and better
equipment to meet the growing de-
nand for food.
The Farm Loan Act will have a
strong influence toward a realization
pr both of these ideals.
Farm tenantry is a curse whose
worst effects are lowered fertility
ehd inefficient farm methods. The
lenant is not a normal farmer. The
transient nature of his living makes
maximum production impossible. He

Interest In Electra
The presentation of Electra of
Euripides In the college auditorium
March 1t by the Talamian and

opportunity to the play-golng public
unprecedented in college dramatics.
From the standpoint of pure art the
play will please the most critical OBJ

as beauty of lines. Special lighting
effects, special setting with no
change of scenery and no curtain to
interrupt the hour and a half OF in

WOMEN ASKED TO AID
 IN SURVEY OF FOOD
 CONSERVATION WORK

The following is authorized by the woman's committee of the Council of National Defense:
 The woman's committee of the Council of National Defense is asking the chalrmen of the organizations for whose activities it acts as a clearing house to get into close touch with the State agricultural directors of exten- sion work and discover what hes all ready been done toward saving surplus fruits and vegetables. They are also asked to discover wha'. the future plans of the agr:erl:.aral college and home economies extension service are in the various States, so that they may work to the best advantage without the overlapping of efforts.
 The work of these extension-service departments of the United States De- partment of Agriculture is closely con- eerned with food conservation, accord ing to the statement to the various chairmen by the woman's committee, and every effort should be made to cooperate and to avoid duplication ef effort in the immediately important work of saving perishable fruits and vegetables.
 "In the last seven years," the com mittee states, several thousand can hing and home demonstration clubs have been organized by the Goyerr- rient under extension auspices. There is total of about 100000 members, all of whom have been taught to con- serve fruits and vegetables and other foods by the most approved modern methods.
 Heretofore this extension work has been done chiefly in rural eommuni- ties. This city extension work will be carried out by Federal and State auth critics in cooperation, and the State director of extension work will be in charge of each State.

 "The food administration is also in close touch with the extension workers both in Washington and in the differ ent States"

LABOR COMMISSIONER
 RETURNS FROM WASHINGTON

Little Rock, Aug, 10-B. D. Brick house, State Labor Commissioner, has returned from a three weeks visit to Washington on official business. He says that practically everything in the national capitol is being subordinated to military preparedness. A tremend- ous amount of work is being done, and the government is making it's plans as though the war is to last for ten years. No one will hazard guess about how long will it last.
 Mr. Brickhouse found the Labor Department one of the busiest of all, with thousand employees in offices covering half a block. Through the assistance of Congressman H. M. Jaco- way, one of the most popular members of the Arkansas delegation, with the administration, he was enabled to se- cure interviews with Secretary Will son and with higher officials, and dis cuss the problems peculiarly affecting Arkansas. MT. Jacoway is constantly on the job, and never permits letter -- unanswered, or a request to be neglected.
 He had several interviews with A.
 
 c. Caminettim Commissioner General of the Department of Immigration and reached tentative agreement with him for State and Federal Gov ernment Labor Exchange in co-opera- tion. It is proposed to cooperate in the handling of immigrant and other labor, and it's proper and most effec- tive distribution. The two depart ments will be kept separate, but will work to the same end. The contract will become operative when it is sign ed by Gov. Brough and Secretary Will son.
 MT. Brickhouse also conferred with Miss Abbott, assistant secretary ir

 Now this is a special opportunity and of course there will be no slack CTS when it comes to bringing dinner on Sunday, that is the only way to handle the proposition.

EXEMPTION BOARD
 IS IN SESSION
Hot Spring County Board Busily En- gagged in Passing of Physical Ex- emptions.

The Hot Spring County Selectiye Board is in session at the Courthouse today, varifying the examinations, made by the Board of the men, who have been reported as physically dis qualified, and making final examina- tion of these reports.
 They are passing today, only on the physical exemptions, but as soon as this is completed the applications for exemptions, other than physical, will be taken up. It is thought these will be reached by the Board tomorrow, and it will take several days to com plete them as there are many applica- tions filed with the Board, and more are being filed each day. The action of the Board in regard to these appli- cations will be made public just as soon as the work begins.

LAWS ARE NOT
IN CONFLICT


 Little Rock, Aug, 1O-In response to a question by the Commissioner of La bor, as to a possible conflict between the Compulsory School Attendance Law and the Child Labor Law, Attor- ney-G General John D. Arbuckle says: "The Compulsory School Attendance Act as passed by the 1917 Legislature and the Child Labor Law as initiated by the people in 1915, are two entire ly separate and distinct acts and the provisions of each act to be considered separate and apart from that of the other I have read both acts carefully and note no conflict
 The Labor Commissioner says: "We have regarded these two laws as ac- complaining entirely different purpos- ees. One requiring children to attend school and the other prohibiting em- ployment under certain conditions and that the exemptions from the op- eration of the Compulsory School Law did not necessarily conflict with the provisions prohibiting children from engaging in certain occupations as laid down by the Child Labor Law.

The following letter is published for the information and guidance of all concerned: The Adjutant General of Arkansas, Little Rock Arkansas. Dear sir:
 Replying to your letter of August 1, received today enclosing a letter from the Lee County Board of Marianna concerning claims of dependency in which the wife's or husbands rela- tives are well able and are willing to provide for the wife when the hus- band is drafted in military service, we can only reply at this time that no general ruling has be an made by this office for that class of cases. They are left to the discretion of the Local Board upon the circumstances of each case. Even should general rul- ing later be made there would still re- main very large margin of discre- tion necessary in it's application. You will be advised as soon as de. finite conclusion is reached.

Marie Cuddeback furnished brand
new groom-ramed Snyder. Every
thing turned out fine even the chicken
pies and the rest of the "eats." The
program was we'll rendered and
appropriate for the occasion. One
song deserves especial mention, one
rendered by Messrs. Sherwood, Hink-
ley, Toney and Kaye. These noble
husbands seemed to lean upon each
other, depend on each other, sing for
each ether. For while one sang high
notes, another would suddenly drop
to the lowest notes ever reached by
human voice. Each one did his part
and more. When Alma Gluck heard
of these efforts and their success be-
fore the public she at once cancelled
her engagement at Kalamazoo for
Friday night indefinitely. All hus-
bands were presented with carnations.
Twas good time and Husband
Day" will be repeated. In behalf of
the club Mrs. Marie Cuddeback Sny-
der was presented with linen
tablecloth.

Who ever heard Of a real Christmas dinner
without mises pier
II can't be done.
There may he cakes and cookies and pud-

here is mime pie there just isn't any real

And since it takes mince pie to top of

to have mince pie to top of many of the
other good mealsi Wouldn't il just make
the meal on many occasionsi
Asyouprobably KIN NONE SUCH MINcE
MEAT comes in an up-to- date package
form = secure from handling is moderate
in price and becomes three times the pack

II is the economical way to buy mince
meat because il prevents waste.
The package recipes are good for pies,
