M. e. Church, South,

We had a great day last Sunday.
Congregations were large and insprr.
ing. The ready and liberal response
to the pastors appeal for our beneyo-
lent collections was very gratifying.
Nearly six hundred dollars was the
amount asked for and raised The
pastor feels very much pleased with
the ready response to these worthy
claims.
This church will be the first IN the
North Arkansas Conference to pay all
these claims in full this year. Quite
an honor. The Leagues all had fine
services Sunday, the Seniors especial
ly had a great program, led By Miss
Hudgins.
Next Sunday the pastor is to preach
sermon on Promises to the Over
conner" This is a sermon that all Of
our people ought to hear 1t is one of
the best sermons that the pastor has.
1t deals with the rewards OF service
for God in this life especially. The
pastor urges every member and friend
of his congregation to be with us at
this service. Sunday night the sub
ject will be Parental Restraint"
This is a very important subject. All
parents and all prospective home
makers should hear this sermon.
Everybody cordially invited.-A. E.
Holloway Pastor.

THE SECOND LINE WORK.
A Chance for Every Man to Do Import.
ant Things for His Country While
Serving His Own Interest.

II. X. Sanders, of Little Rock, an
expert of the Extension Division OF
the University and Prof r. r. Thomp.
son, of Eureka addressed a large an.
dience, mostly farmers, at the court
house Thursday afternoon on the sub
ject of economic preparedness. Both
speakers impressed their hearers with
new facts concerning the present sit
uation. In part Mr.. Sanders said:
Upon the American farmer rests
the final responsibility of winning this
war. The worlds supply of surplus
food it practically exhausted. Ameri.
ca will be called on to feed herself
and allies as well. The prices of all
food products is bound to go higher.
The object of every farmer should be
to produce as much as possible of
staple crops such as hay, corn peas,
beans, soy beans, fruit and vegetables.
A normal cotton crop is desirable, but
acreage should not be increased. Tho
supply of animal products is already
too low. Poultry and poultry products
should be doubled this year and next.
There should be a mobilization of an
agricultural army composed of men
over military age, men incapacitated
for military service, and of boys under
10 years of age. Wide extension of
boys corn, pig and peanut clubs, and
girls canning and poultry clubs should
be encouraged by teachers, ministers,
farmers and others. Where possible
local or municipal canning plants
should be established. Everybody
must enlist the aid of each and every
agency to spread over this country
the idea that Boone county must pro.
duce this year as she has never done
before.
Arkansas ships annually into her
borders about $65,0OOOO0 worth of
food and feed 1t would be a wicked
thing to make this draft this year upon
other states for food that will be mos.
urgently needed by our armies and m
Europe. 1t is our duty to our country
to supply our own needs and it would
be a patriotic act to raise surplus
for our governments need.
1t is a patriotic duty to shoulder the
rifle and go to the trenches in defense
of our nation, but we need a second
line of defense and that is in the fur
row, raising food and feed. The ma
tion that wins will be the nation that
is able to feed itself, so let's have a
strong second line of defense among
every one left behind.
Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary
of agriculture, who is a large land
owner in Kansas, says, any planter or
farmer who in this national crisis fails
to put large percentage Of his land
in food crops is lacking both in pat
riotism and prudence. We cannot win
this war if we permit the boys at the
front to supply all of the self.sacrifice.
Today the first duty Of the south and
nation is to get food. Every loyal man,
woman and child should and must
share in this common burden and
privilege"

LORD OUT, SCULL
PUT IN AS HEAD
OF DETECTIVES
Woods Ends Divided Control OF
Bureau-Shake-up Not
a Surprise

Police Commissioner Woods yester-
day officially relieved Deputy Commits
sioner Frank A. Lord Of the supervi-
sion of the Detective Bureau. Unofh-
ciallv he was relieved Of almost all
the duties about a year ago, when
GUY Scun. who assumes the work now,
WAS promoted from secretary TO the
Commissioner to Fifth Deputy Com
missioner.
In police circles there is seen in the
action of the Commissioner an aban-
donment Of the divided authority idea
instituted some months ago by Woods.
For some time Lord and Scull divided
The civilian control Of the bureau and
Inspector Faurot. known as Lords
man. and Inspector Cray, recognized
as representing Scull. have split the
uniformed control.
The Commissioner. IN announcing
the shake-Up. stated that there was no
reflection on the ability OF his depu-
ties in the move. lie added that the
numerous street accidents made nee
essary more rigid enforcement o.
the traffic laws, and he had relieved
Lord OF the work Of the Detective
Bureau 70 let him devote all ms time
10 the traffic squads.
In the reorganization Of the depu-
ties duties Deputy Commissioner
Lawrence B. Durham is relieved OF
the traffic squads so that he can devote
all his time TO the supervision of the
uniformed force in Manhattan, The
Bronx and Richmond and the ham
ding Of the police trials.
The deposing Of Lord has been eX-
pected by the coo members OF the De-
tective Bureau for some time.
When Soul was appointed in 1915
10 fiji the newly created Fifth Deputy
Commissionership he was asked TO
look after the anarchist, the bomb and
the safe and loft squads. That left
for Lord only the homicide bureau
and the routine work
