HARRlSoNS SCHOOL ELECTION

There were 1877 votes cast in Har.
rison district at the annual school
election, the light vote being due to
the fact that there was no issue what
ever and few voters thought of it ex-
cept as they were reminded. The vote
was as follows:
For Directors-Brooks, 1876; Slower,
1913.
For Tax-12 mills, 70; 10 mills, SO;
7 mills, AZ; mills, 49, 6 mills, /;
mills, /. Against tax, 2.
Ten mills was all that the school
board had asked for 1t is apparent
that II mills would have carried had
it been recommended.
Althoug' full returns from the coun-
ty have not been received it is practi-
cally certain that County Superintend-
ency has carried, and that the new
system will be inaugurated for Boone
county in the near future.

MONEY AND MEN NEEDED
Northwest Arkansas Is Expected To
Subscribe at Least Five Million
Dollars to the National
Defense Fund.

bClENSS HiS'
Enough of two things will win any
war-money and men. The first need
always is for the money, because
equipment for the men, big guns, and
the men themselves, are only enrolled
and trained by the use Of money.
Every person who can should take
some share of the Liberty Loan. over
in Europe when a loan is attempted
and succeeds there is as much happi.
ness as over a great victory on the
field.
Every American must do his part;
success cannot be had unless every in
dividual realizes the fact this is his
war and that he must do his bit if
liberty is to be secured for the nations
of the world and humanity is not to
give way to barbarism.
If one million persons subscribe to
this two billion dollar loan, they will
have to give $4,000 each. If five mil
lion persons contribute, they will have
to furnish $400 each, 1t will require
an average of 5000 from each of ten
million persons to make up the total
amount. The government needs twen-
ty dollars from practically every man,
woman and child in this country
The following is the allotment of the
$7OOOOOO bonds to counties calculated
upon their bank standing and their
wealth as made by the Bankers AssO-
Ciation:
Benton, $1,OOOOOO; Carroll, $442,-
600; Madison, $394,OOO; Franklin,

$3S2,OOO; Sebastian $1,973,OOO; Craw-
ford, 1851, 900; Washington, $1,OO1, 800

be distributed to the banks at a ratio
of per cent of their total resources

Briefly, here is the way the new
army will be raised by selection:
All men, regardless of race or ma.
tiOnality, who have attained their
twenty-first birthday, and who have
not reached their thirty-first birthday
by June 5, must register in their home
voting precincts on that date. If sick,
they must register by proxy.
No man has the privilege of Judging
his own qualifications under this reg.
istration. Even if you are certain you
cannot perform military duty, you
nevertheless must register
Registrars have not authority to ex-
empt anyone. They merely conduct
the registration.
After this registration, the cards
will be gone over by civil board
Exemptions will be made there. The
causes for exemption include those
in a status with respect to persons
dependent upon them for support
which renders their exclusion or dis
charge advisable" There will be a
board to which appeal may be made if
anyone feels an injustice has been
done him.
1t is unlawful to fail to register if
within the age limits, and it is equally
unlawful to register falsely if younger
or older than the ages fixed.
Probably several weeks will elapse
before all the registration cards are
gone overs
At a proper time, those selected for
military duty will be notified directly
and ordered to report at a certain
place on certain date.
Secretary Baker has declared the
men selected will not be called before
September l. Do not confuse the reg,
istratiOn with the call for service. All
Of military age must register, only
one in ten, approximately, will be
called
President Wilson is authorized to
call 100000 men for military duty
by the selective system. Two calls
are to be issued, 100000 men at a
