Ladies Take Option on Lot, and Have Already Re- ceived Several Con

Officers and members of the board of directors of the library association yesterday began an active canvass ot the business men and other residents of the city in behalf of the fund which they desire to raise for the purpose of site for public library building, and it was announced that the can vass will continue each day, without interruption, until the required sum, about s15 GOO, is raised or pledged.
 Before starting on this general canvass, the library association closed an option on one of the best and most centrally located sites that could be obtained. The site is within short walk of the courthouse, postoiflce, Union railroad station and the bus1- ness district generally, yet is suf- ficiontly secluded to afford the quiet surroundings necessary for such a building. The price placed or the property is considered very reason able, and business men who have been

EMBARGO NEEDN'T
 RE A BUGBEAR ID COTTON FARMER
 ,.t
Home Consumption at Pres ent Rate Will Clean Up
 Supply Before New Crop.

Atlanta, Feb. 27.-If not another bale of cotton is exported, all the cot ton on hand will be practically clean ed up at the present rate of home con- sumption, is the view reflected in cot ton circles during the week. In sup
 port of this view it is cited that the
 consumption of cotton in the United
 States reached 600,000 bales in Janu-
 ary, the largest on record. During the six months, domestic consumption reached 3,367,663 bales, and around four million bales have already been exported. In view of this 1t Is the prevailing sentiment in cotton circles
 that the farmer has nothing but rosy
 prospects.
 Only unfavorable weather is pre-
 venting the southern farmer from
 carrying on his preparations for
 planting large acreages to various crops, is the substance of reports
 coming from all parts of the South except the extreme west, where there l has been little rain. Delivery of seed and fertilizers has been held up by
 bad roads and it is evident that many farmers are holding back orders for
 supplies till weather is better. AL
 though they have been urged to buy l fertilizers early because of freight
 compositions and because of the possi
 ble effect of an increase in the manu- fracture of amunitions on some of its l ingredients, it is apparent that the l full requirements of the farmers have
 not yet been made known. The fer tilizer trade, however, reports a big
 business and an evident purpose of the ter-kill of small grain is not being
 farmers to fertilize heavily this year. II Even the serious loss from the Win taken pessimistically. Farmers con- sider that they can recoup their loss es by planting to other crops on the same lands, in thi swear of high prices.
 The damage to winter-cover crops is greater than was at first thought: Following closely several days of most weather, the small grain has made a tender growth, and were in poor condition for withstandlng the severe cold. In the extreme South, the damage is not so great as first ap- peared, but over other portions of the South, the damage was greater than was anticipated. Broadcasted or shall low seeded fields in general show practically total loss. While drilled grains show losses differing with va rieties and depth of drill rows, none of it has escaped considerable dam age. {, Alfalfa has also suffered se- verely. ., Fields which have been in small grain afford good seed beds with com- paratively little to be done to lit them for replanting.t While many farmers are undertaking to resow to oats, the
 uncertainty attending spring-sown oats, has inclined the agricultural leaders to recommend seeding to soy beans, velvet beans or COW peas fo1 hay crops. Cotton, corn and peanuts, however, will be looked to by many | farmers as desirable to plant in the grsii, fields, thus adding to the acre.
 age they had already planned to give to these crops.

With Site for Library as Goal,
 Canvass is Started for $15,OOO

informed of the matter are of the opinion that the library will have se- cured big bargain, if they can raise the money to actually purchase the property.
 We have really done considerable work already said Mrs. C. w. Petit grew, the president of the association, although our canvass actually started only today. Several of the leading and best known men of the city have already pledged themselves for good donations as starter for the work, and we feel very much encouraged. The people we have already called upon have met us cordially, and there appears no doubt whatever that the value to the city of public library is generally known and appreciated.
 Mayor Simon Bloom has made It plain that he intends to devote every energy and effort to aiding the library association in it's efforts for tho build ing of a public library here.
 "A library is needed in every city, said the mayor "Not only the school children, but countless adults, busl- ness and professional men, profit through such an institution, and ! intend to aid in every way possible the movement for the establishment of such an institution in Pine Bluff"

Good Training, Good Pay and Opportunity for Ad- vancement Open to Am
 bilious Boys.

Uncle Sam will send force of re- cruiting officers to Pine Bluff early next month, to make an effort to ob- tain recruits here for his navy, and because of the unsettled and critical conditions now existing, it is believed Pine Bluff boys and young men will show more than ordinary interest in the matter. The recruiting force will have headquarters in the postoffice building, it is announced.
 Lieut.. H. H. Frost, in charge of the recruiting office at Little Rock, in a letter to The Graphic, received yes terday, states that the recruiting squad will arrive here Saturday, March 8, and will remain here four days. Explaining requirements, rates Of pay, and other details of the mat ter, Lieut., Frost writes:
 "Boys between the ages of IF and 25 are eligible for enlistment as ap- prentice seamen. There are num- Der of ratings, such as fireman, ma chinist's mate, electrician, in which men who know trade, may be en- listed. The age limit for these rat ings is 30 years.
 "All boys desiring to enlist should present themselves at the temporary recruiting station where they will be given preliminary examination there and forwarded at the governments s expense to the main station at Lit tie Rock. At Little Rock the final examination will be conducted. All those who pass and are enlisted as apprentice seamen will be sent to the naval training station at Great Lakes, Ill.,, about 30 miles north of Chicago. They will be given an excellent course of training for two months and then sent to sea. Their pay at the training station will be $17.60 a month, and after they leave it will be $20.90.
 "Once on a sea-going ship their promotion depends upon the efficiency they show in their work and upon their conduct. There are numerous oppor- tunities open to them. Every year 25 enlisted men are given appoint ments to the Naval academy at An examination. If they are unable tc take this opportunity, they may work up to the grade of warrant officer with a pay of $2400 year and up From warrant officer, it is possible to take an examination for commls' stoned officer. Of course, this pro motion will not come all at once, but it is we'll within the reach of any one who is ambitious, studious and will ing to work hard and faithfully.

said: "i am convinced that neithel plague nor yellow fever exist any where on the literal coast of the Caribbean" But for the first time in the history of many of these regions thousands of persons are finding hospital they can go to when they are i'll.
 : In its medical divisions in Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Colombia. Honduras, and Cuba, the United Fruit Company has IA hospitals and 34 dispensaries or medical stations.
 Many of the patients have never seen sheets and pillow cases before. But they soon learn to like them and the daily bath, too. Ninety-five per cent of the native patients at the company's hospital in Santa Marta are found to have hook worms. Of this ailment they are quickly cured.
 The broad and enlightened policy of this company cannot alone be measured in dollars and cents. It has brought to the company a pres tige in the American tropics that money could not buy and to the many American doctors, nurses and sanitation engineers who have suc- cessfully fought the good fight it has brought lifelong satisfaction
