had gotten ahead of them I found a lot of nice berries growing on the side of barb wire fence and I said, "Ah ha, MT. Chigre, I will stay on this side of the fence and reach through and gather the berries and avoid you," (no extra charge for the rhyme) but it did not work and I am convince it will at least take a woven wire fence to turn them. Never mind, l have made the important part of fthe discovery now let the government improve it and put it into practice.
 In approaching the new cantonment the first work l beheld was a right of way cleaned for a telephone line. Next was the right of way for road. It was being cleared by grubbing tho trees. Then I found two or three new buildings completed, then two wells being drilled. Then I beheld thousands of men at work and hun dreds of acres of foundations for new buildings laid and the building in va rious stage of completion, while the roads were full of autos and trucks
 That's what l saw with my two good eyes, improved with specs and a lively imagination, but what is really there is, at this time, Tuesday night six cantonment buildings completed the foundation for twenty-four others laid and the wells being drilled

 Other buildings will be erected im- mediately. and the Abeles Company. which has so far been able to meet all Washington prices, will probably land the contract for everything in their line.
 The Abeles Company, which has | statewide reputation as church builder has this week received the contract for the mill work, sash doors and art glass for the new Meth odist church at Hope. This church will cost in the neighborhood of $75.- 900, and is the second big church con tract secured by the local company in the past month, the other church being erected in Forrest City.

SAYS CHILD LABOR LAWS
SHOULDN'T BE SUSPENDED
Gompers Denounces Effort to Have
Them and Compulsory Education
Acts Imperative During War.

Efforts to have child labor and COM
pulsory education laws suspended dur
ing the war are denounced by Samuel
Gompers. president of the American
Federation of Labor, in a letter to w. +.
Hamrick, general superintendent of the
Pacific mills, at Columbia, s. Z. MIR.
Gompers was replying to letter from
Mr.. Hamrick to Chairman Lever of the
House agricultural committee.
The men and women OF the country
must first try to defend the nation, and
do it's work. before they call upon the
children of the country to do like serv-
ice." Mr.. Gompers declared, in his
letter.
You say in your letter that to sus-
pend the child labor law would be of
advantage to manufacturers in helping
them overcome the shortage OF labor"
Mr.. Gompers states. Until the man
ufacturers shall have first tried to re-
adjust their industries to a war basis,
shall have made all mechanical substi-
tutes for human labor wherever that is
possible and shall have done everything
within their power to meet the needs
of the nation and then demonstrate the
inadeQuacy of the number of workers
to be secured and the Indispensable
character of the product under consid
Grafton, they will have no good reason
for demanding that the children shall
be deprived of their right to opportu-
nifty for physical and mental growth in
order that the Industrial needs of the
country may be served.
"In protecting the childhood of the
nation we are protecting the nation
itself. This protection is just neces-
sary as the military defense of the ma
ton. There can be no justification for
rendering child labor laws imperative
during this war except when it shall
have been demonstrated that all other
methods have failed and an extreme
emergency shall have been proved TO
that body charged with the defense of
the nation-the council of national de-
fense."

ARMY AND NAVY FOOTWEAR
Total of 3,45o,OOO Pairs of Shoes to
Be Delivered Within
Eight Months.

Contracts for 3.450,0oo pairs of shoes
for the army and navy have been
awarded through the national defense
council. Delivery is to be completed

tracts, awarded on competitive bids.
were distributed among twenty-seven
firms.

shoes and the navy S50,000. The con-
tracts represent the largest shoe pur-
chase ever made by the government,
their total value reaching nearly Sl7,-
100000
Bidders submitted their estimates on
the basis of options on vast quantities
of leather secured some time ago by
the defense councils committee on
supplies, of which julius RoSenwald is
chairman. If they cannot purchase
leather as cheaply directly. the com
mittee on supplies will turn over the
options to them. The main purpose in
getting the options was to stabilize the
leather market against heavy pur-
chases for government account.
The purchases were made through the
committee on supplies in cooperation
with the quartermaster's department
of the army and the navy bureau of
supplies and accounts. The army pur-
chases include three styles of marching
and field shoes. The navy buys the
regulation black calfskin high cut de-

Germany Regarding Food Ships.

GENEVA, via Paris. June 2.-The
question of American exports TO Swift
zerland continues to hold the leading
place in the Swiss newspapers. The
recent semi official announcement that
Switzerland should come to an under
standing with Germany SO that Ameri-
can ships conveying food to Switzer-
land would not be sunk particularly is
engaging the attention of the press.
The Geneva Tribune says in sub
stance that the Swiss authorities made
diplomatic blunder in joining in
President Wilson's first appeal on be-
half OF peace since the special circum-
stances of the situation of the country
compelled them afterward to refuse to
join the United States in breaking off
diplomatic relations with Germany.
The newspaper says it is hoped the
new Swiss minister TO the United States
will explain and arrange the matter of
the food supply, as otherwise the Swiss
people will virtually starye. the aid of
the entente allies being impossible un-
der the present war conditions. The
newspaper concluded by saying the
government 10 greatly concerned over
the situation.

HOLDS DRAFT LAW VALID.
Missouri Judge Denies Injunction
Asked for to Prevent Enforcement.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-. June 2.-An in
junction to prevent state officials from
enforcing the draft registration next
Tuesday was denied by Judge Daniel
Bird in the circuit court here Thursday
afternoon.
Judge Bird held that the draft law
was valid and that his court had no
jurisdiction to prevent 1t being carried
out.
From the bench he recommended
that Thomas Sullivan and Raymond I.
Moore. the petitioners, both Of whom
are eligible for registration, seek out
the first enlistment place without at
tempting to evade the registration law.
Judge Bird. in his decision, referred
to the selective draft army law as the
most equitable and efficient" this
country has ever had. He also ruled
that. In times of war. state. county and
city officials could be used by Congress
to further any war measures.
The petition had sought to invoke
the thirteenth and fourteenth amend ;
ments Of the federal Constitution. and
also certain provisions of the Missouri
constitution. Judge Bird ruled against
all the points brought up.
