LENIENCY OF DEPARTMENT
 WILL. EXEMPT MANY

Little Rock. Sept. 4.-Instructions have been received by the Arkansas district exemption boards which may result in quite a few reversals in eX- .emption cases which have been denied The new order gives more latitude to the exemption claims of married men and will release from service men who have claimed exemptions on hay ing dependant wives. These men have claimed they were the sole sup port of their wives. but where it was shown that the parents of the man, or of the wife, were able to support her, the board has refused to allow exemptions.
 Thdre have been quite a number of cases before the district boards of young men who worked but little, being supported by their parents. Many claimed exemptions, declaring their wives to be dependent upon them, and even though the parents declared the son must henceforth make his own living, and that they would not support the wife if he was drafted, the board refused to exempt him.
 The district board has no alterna- tive in the matter, and many pamp- cred sons will probably evade service through the lenency of the depart ment.

 There is GOO acres of corn, which C. W. Watson, state demonstration agent, estimates will average 40 bush els to the acre. It is heavily laden with large ears, with two and three ears to the stalk. There is 25O acres of the corn field planted in velvet beans and 150 acres in cow-peas. which will make perfect forage crop for the stock as late as February.
 There is 30 acres of ribbon cane. that will make 2OOO gallons of mo- lasses. There is 17 acres of Irish potatoes, with splendid stand, all worked out. There is 12 acres of sweet potatoes and 50 acres of cow peas for hay. Thirty acres has been planted in turnips for winter use.
 There is more than 25 acres of garden truck. Four thousand cans of tomatoes have been put up, and one day last week 2000 more empty cans were received. In all, the farm can nery will put up about 1000 cans of vegetables. Fourteen barrels of pick Les have been put up, also large quan- titles of kraut. One hundred head of hogs-hog raising has hardly more than been started on the farm-will supply a part of the meat, and an- other year or two will see enough raised to supply the institution with it's meat.

Effect of Language.

Few people have ever dreamed how great is the effect of the employment then we are face to face with persons who suffer from color-blindness, and we recognize that the affairs of life trade generally, travel and warfare particularly-could never be left to persons who suffer from this abnor mality. Yet the whole of human life in communities seems to be conducted by persons who have no language sense, who have no understanding of the words they employ or who are en- slaved by meanings that have been at- tached falsely to Wcr!S for genera. tions.-New York Morning Telegraph.

BUILDINGS IN READINESS
 FOR NATIONAL ARMY

Little Rock, Sept. 4.-Buildings at Camp Pike are now in readiness for the national army, the first of which will arrive on Wednesday morning. Arkansas will send about 400 men in this first lot. These men will assist in putting the camp in shape and pre- pairing for the coming of the others. They will be drilled in squads for ten days, and be thus qualified to act as non-commissicred officers to teach those coming later the rudiments of tke war game.
 On Sept. 15 another 90 per cent will arrive at Camp Pike, and on Sept. 20, there will be 20 per cent more, and so on until the full quota arrives.
 There will ben O negroes reporting in the first two divisions.
 If the men all came at one time it would be impossible to equip or drill them There is now equipment at the camp for the first arrivals, as we'll as provisions for the entire army for 30 days.
 The camp has been very busy place all week, due to the activities of army officers who have arrived at the camp and are making prepara- tions for the arrival of their com mands.

BOOSTERS AND BREWERIES.

While the national Democratic convention was In St Louis an effort was made by the local newspapers to boost the home town. The St. Louis Times issued special convention SUD- plement in which the industries of that city were advertised. Under the heading, Facts About St. Louis Worth Knowing" 90 of the most prominent facts were mentioned. De- spite the fact that St. Louis is one of two cities in the country most con- spicuOus for its beer industry, not one word was said about the brew cries. Under the heading, "The Ex- ports of St. Louis," beer appears in its alphabetical place. Among exports this product could not be ignored\ but the commercial bodies of St. Louis, judging by their display elsewhere. were ashamed to include a reference to beer as one of their chief prod ucts.

One thing that is essential is public confidence in the management, and its divorcement en- |tirely from political entanglements. It ;s said that Saltwater has accom- plished that, and it is rapidly being Edore in Arkansas. When it is re moved entirely from political infiu- ences the management will have achieved an efficiency that was lack |iag for many years.
 There is a total of 4,5S6 acres in the Tucker farm, located two miles northeast of Tucker, a station on the I |Cotton Belt in the northern part of Jefferson county. Of this, 2400 acres are in cultivation, 300 acres having been cleared since the property was Bought from D. B. Niven of Pine Bluff two years ago. Three thousand acres was bought at $50 an acre, HOO acres at $40, and eighty acres at $60. | Mir Niven, a representative of Jetfer- son county, made the statement on the floor of the House in the last Leg isatare, that f the state did not like Tits bargain he would be ready at any |tme to take it back at a considerable advance over what he sold it for.

ware to save their stock by showing
the same at the coming show. Added

cal association have secured $3.50 or
more from private citizens and this
money will also be used as cash prizes
for the breeders.
