To Build Nitrate Plant.

Congress has appropriated $20OOO,-
900 to build nitrate plant. The sole
source of these salts today is Chilli.
The council of national defense will
undertake the study which is intended
to make the United States government
independent in the matter of prOduc-
ton of this absolutely essential ele-
ment of proper preparedness for de-
Tense.
All kinds of industrial problems are
being studied by the members of the
council. The attempt is to get thor
ough knowledge of all the facilities
Of the United States for comprehensive
industrial work, SO that preparedness
along these lines may keep pace with
actual military preparedness. Indus
trial organizations all over the United
States have made offers of assistance
to the government.
President Wilson not long ago
summed up the duties of the council
and the advisory commission in
words which put the case succinctly:
has been created because congress has
realized that the country is best pre-
pared for war when thoroughly pre-
pared for peace. From an economic
point of view there is now very little
difference between the machinery re-
uuired for commercial efficiency and
that required for military purposes.
In both cases the whole industrial
mechanism must be organized in the
most effective way. Upon this c0ncep-
ton of the national welfare the coun-
Gil is organizes In the words of the act
for "the crsation of relations which
will rendes possible in time of need
the immediate concentration and utfi-
cation of the resources of the nation"
The Organization of the council like
wise opens up new and direct chan
mel of communication and cooperation
between business and scientific men
and AL departments of the govern
ment, and it is hoped that it will, in

PROBLEM OF ROAD BUILDING
Highway Official Tells How Great System Can Be BuiIt-First
 Essential Equipment.

Thanks to the pushful, pervasive motorcar, American road building has 'got move on" at last. There is every where the cry for roads, for more roads and for better roads. The drawback has been that, as yet, there has been no coordination of these multitudinous enterprises. The president of the Ma tional Highway association, Charles Henry Davis, in a recent paper stated that we spent last year $249, ,955, ,967, or more than two-thirds of the total of money expended so far on the con struction of the Panama canal-for road improvements throughout the country. Mir. Davis contention is that good roads, roads that run for thou sands of miles through state after state, are, properly, not the responsi- bility of the state, but of the nation, says Boston Transcript. He would have the federal government build

system of national roads joining the West with the East, the North and the South connecting every part of the country, as is the case with the na- tional highways of Europe, and, as history shows, such as was the essen- tial equipment of every first-class pow CT of the past.
 How would such an enormous con struction be paid for and kept up?
 Suppose" asks this eminent engi- neer, "the government built 100 1000 miles of properly planned roads, and at the same time purchased, say, 300 feet of land on either side. This land would so continually increase in value and In demand for leasing on long rental, that the cost of the road and the land purchase would soon he paid. A rental rate of S6.66 per acre would pay the interest on the cost of con struction. But such would rent at vastly higher rates in cities and towns, high enough to give the nation an in come equal to it's total annual ex- penditure." from these national high ways alone!

To Teach the Rebel Yell.

Gen. J. R. Gibsons of Bauxite, an x-Confederate soldier with an en- viable record for gallant service, has suggested to Maj. Gen. Sturgis that the troops in training at Camp Pike should be taught the Rebel yell.
 It's too good to be lost, said Gen. Gibsons. Gen. Jeb Stuart taught it to the army of the Con- federaoy, and it served not only to inspire our own boys but let the enemy know that they were about ready to get theirs. So the old Rebel yell was at once an inspira- tion and terror, and l think that our boys ought to know it.
 And Gen. Sturgis, big, brawny noble soldier, whom all the boys iiolize, agreed with Gen. Gibsons that it would be. good thing, and ided, We will probably need lt when we get over there.

This M0tk Should Be Encouraged.

It has long been thought and for several years has been known to be fact that the various diseases of the mouth and teeth are due to aglect and carelessness. In view of the fact that these diseased con- ditions can be prevented by early .care it is the duty of every person having to do with the child during the formative period of it's life to in struct the children in the care of the teeth. CLEAN TEETH Do Nor DECAY.
 investigations show that neural clas, headaches, earaches, enlarged tonsilS, mol~nutrition with the re- sultant deficiency of development, both physical and mental, and blood p,isoning of various sorts are due t bad teeth in many cases.

Compulsory School Attendance

The Compulsory School Attend ance law contains the following provisions with reference to the enforcement of the law:
 l. All teachers are required to report to the secretary of the school board the names of any par ent or guardian who at any time may be found failing to comply with the attendance law.
 2. The secretary of the school board in turn is required to give any such parents or guardians written notice of the provisions of the law with reference to school attendance. Copies of notice forms may be had from the county examiner or superintendent )
 5. Teachers are required to make monthly reports to the sec retary of the school board and to the county examiner or supefin- tendent of the name and address of all persons in the school district not complying with the attendance law.
 
 4. The county superintendents and examiners in turn are required to forward copies of such monthly reports to the prosecuting attor- neys of their respective districts, and to the state superintendent.
 5. Parents or guardians who wish to claim exemption for any child from the school attendance law should apply to the exemption officer (ths school superintendent, the county superintendent or coun- ty judge) for exemption certificate and present it to the teacher.
 Teachers and school officials are required by law to comply with the above provisions for the enforce ment of this law. The Depart- ment of Education cannot furnish blanks for making all these reports. But model forms for such repc rss may be had from the county su- perintendent or examiner. Teach CTS and school boards should secure these forms and make all reports promptly.

person with whom he comes in contact, for in the cavities of his teeth turk germs of every descrip- tion. Every time he breatbes h9 exhales quantities of these germs for other persons to breathe into their lungs.
 The instruction of the children in the proper care of their teeth is really the duty of the parent. But the average parent is either indif- ferent or ignorant of the necessity, so the Oral Hygiene committee of the Arkansas State Dental asso- ciation is calling on the teachers of the state to take upon themselves extra work in Mouth Hygiene in order that the children of the pres ent oay will not grow up to be the men and women of tomorrow in ig- norance of the imporance of the teeth nor the means of keeping them in healthy condition.

Gan StlII Enlist In Navy.

Men who are registered and who have not been notified by their local board to appear for examna- tion are eligible for enlistment in the navy, according to an an nouncement made by Ensign Wm. T. Ritter. commanding the Arkan- sas recruiting district, at Little Rock.
 b This announcement was made because of the many inquiries re- ceived from all parts of the state from registered men, who are in line for being called in the next in- orement. The navy will not en- list man who has been notified by a local board to appear for exami- nation. A man who is registered but has received no such notice can enlist in the navy providing he can pass the physical examination for the navy,
 The ages for enlist in the navy are IS to 65,
 There are number of different branches in which experienced 
 men can enlist, but men without experience in some navy trade car enlist as apprentice seamen or fire man third class and work up to the higher ratings,
 The lowest pay In the navy to- day is $52,5o month, plus lib efal allowance of clothing and ra- tions and quarters.

WHEAT SHOULD BE SOWN NOW.
Now That DroIh is Broken Farmers Must
 Lose No Time, Mir. Watson Urges.

Now that the long drouth has been broken, Arkansas farmers should lose no time in discing thsir land and sowing their Whe4t and rye, according to G. ". Watson, state agent of the United States Department of Agriculture.
 Reports that we have received from over the state are to the eff feet that many farmers who have bought their seed wheat and rye have been unable to SOW it because the ground has been so hard that 1t has been impossible to break it. :" said MT. Watson. However, re- cent hard rains have remedied this condition and the farmers should lose no time in beginning to SOW. Also much of the grain that was sown has not come up because of the drouth, but this grain should begin to make it's appearance now.
 Of course, there Is the danger that grain soWn now may suffer from freezing, but the farmer runs some danger with any crop and I believe that the danger of the grain being killed by winter freezing is no greater than any other risk that the farmer runs in sowing his crops

 The statute authorizing Civil of fieers to apprehend deserters shall not be construed as taking away the authority for the apprehension by any citizen under an order or di- reotion of a Military officer. The offer of reward for the apprehen- sion and delivery of a deserter coupled with the act of congress, which provides for the payment Of such a reward, is considered sufic- tent authority for the arrest of the deserter by citizen.
 Upon request the adiutant gen. erals office at Little Rock will ad- wise whether or not any certain person or persons have been en- listed as deserters and furnish commitment papers after arrest has been made, which must be ob- tained prior to delivery of deserter to Military authorities.
 $5o.oo reward includes all cost incurred in the apprehension and actual delivery to Military authori- ties.

Finds Boom in Pecan Industry.

A survey of the pecan industry of the state with the object of en- couraging more extensive growth of this profitable nut is being made by Clyde H. Heard, of the depart ment of horticulture, of the College of Agriculture. Prof. Heard finds that there is boom in the planting of budded or grafted varieties and hundreds of acres have been plant ed with pecan trees during the past few years. Prices have ad- vanced this year and improved va rieties are now selling at 50 and 50 cents pound.
 It is yet too early to say whether oceans could be grown proftably in all parts of the state. Paintings are now confined largely to those districts where oceans grow wild, namely the bottom lands of the Red river, the White, Arkansas, Mississippi and St. Francis rivers. Prof. Heard found one tree in the Southern part of the state which yielded 2Z bushels and s pecks and undoubtedly holds the record for Arkansas.

CLAY LIKES OFFICERS
BUT DISLIkES QUARANTINE

Dear Mr. Lake:
As | find time and haven't written
you for some time III try and tell
you something of interest in the army.
First of all, we have been quaran-
tined for scarlet fever of which there
were two cases, one in Bat. E and one
in Bat. C and that was no joke either,
for it is confining enough as it was,
but during the ten days we We're quar-
antined, we could not leave the bar
racks and that was sure hard on US.
We don't get so much drilling as we
did at first. We have gun and mount
ed drill more now. Our guns at pres
ent are made of old saw horses and our
horses are made of barrels with heads
made of wood nailed on them also
wooden legs, we get that kind of drill
so we will know how to mount and dis
mount our horses when we get them.
This military riding is much differ
ent than that of civil life and there
is certain way to hold your reins
when riding.
We also have Semophore signaling.
which is done with two flags of white
and red.
To-day we took hike and went
over to see the dough boys dig tren-
ches. The dough boys are infantry
men; that is a nick name we have for
them. Their trenches are a sight to
see and it is very well worth ones
time to see them. Battery E has the
reputation of being the best Battery
in the regiment and believe it is. for
we are ahead in everything so far.
While we were quarantined about fif-
teen of US gave the rest of the bat
terry a nigger minstrel and after the
fun we had light lunch of grapes and
sandwiches. Then our captain passed
around his cigarettes, which has his
name on them in gold letters. | also
believe we have one of the best can
tains in the regiment. While we were
quarantined he tried to make it Is
pleasant for US as he could. We would
get him in the evening after supper
and have him talk to us on the war
and its different branches and SO forth

was twisted around our propeller and
believe me it was no fun to be out

steam launch.
l guess that | will not get to come
home Christmas for we are SO far
away it would cost about $3.50 one
