GREAT MEETING IS
HELD IN CONWAY
FOOD CAMPAIGN OPENS
Scores of Speakers to Spread News of
Urgent National Situation Over
Faulkner County.

One of the most enthusiastic and
largely attended mass meetings ever
held in Conway was held last night
at the courthouse, when the subject
of producing enough foodstuffs for
personal use in Faulkner county was
discussed. The meeting was held I'M
der the auspices of the Conway Com
mercial Club, 10 Frauenthal presid-
ing. Many women were present.
1t was decided that speakers should
visit every hamlet in Faulkner coun-
ty on next Thursday and Friday, to
acquaint the farmers with the neces-
sity of raising their own foodstuffs,
and to warn them of the danger of
a big shortage, which may be brought
on by the worldwide war that is
threatening. Bulletins from the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture,
pertaining to the food shortage ques-
ton, are to be distributed throughout
the county by the campaigners.
j. c. Barnett, head of the United
States government agricultural force
in Arkansas, addressed the gathering
last night, laying particular stress
upon the necessity of Faulkner coun-
ty feeding herself next year. A
statewide campaign is being conduct
ed In Arkansas, he said, and the peo-
pie everywhere are grasping every
opportunity to assist in the work.
Farmers throughout the state are be-
ing urged to increase their acreage
planted to food and feed stuffs, said
Mr.. Barnett, and practically every
one expects to heed the suggestion.
DR.. J. H. Reynolds, Supt. ]. P.
Womack and j. M. Wilson also made
short addresses along the same line.
Miss Josephine Miller of Little
Rock, who is spending few days in
Conway in the interest of Woman's
suffrage, Red Cross work and the
thrift movement, told of her expert
ences at the front in France, depict
ing the horrors of war and telling of
/ the suffering in the warstricken coun-
tries caused by the shortage of food
stuff. AS a promoter of the thrift
movement, which is a nationwide af-
/ fair, she urged everybody to plant a
garden this year to combat the high
cost of living. The slogan of the
movement is Every Home With a
Garden"
A committee to secure speakers for
the campaign was named, with George
w. Clark as chairman. w. D. Cole,
Jr., was named chairman of a COM
mittee on itinerary, and V. D. Hill
was made chairman of the finance
committee.

MAY ISSUE SEED BONDS
Pure Seed Commission and Bankers
Association are Cooperating in
Making Arrangements

Bismarck, N. D., Nov 27-With the
cooperation of the pure seed COM
mission, the North Dakota Bankers
mission, the North Dakota State
Bankers association and Commission
er of Agriculture and Labor Hagan,
counties which find themselves in
need Of seed grain will be encouraged
to issue seed bonds or warrants thru
their county commissioners, where
this course is found necessary.
'"The seed commission stands ready
to assist in the selection of seed and
in finding where it can be bought"
saic Commissioner John N. Hagan to-
day. "The commission finds after
making a careful survey that short
age of barley, oats, flax and corn seed
exists, and it recommends that farm
ers having any of these grains retain
them for seed purposes, and that
farmers having supplies IN excess OF
their own needs notify the commits
sioner of agriculture or the agricul"
tural college.
''The farmer probably will realize a
somewhat higher price for this seed
grain than he would get in the open
market, and the buyer will be saved
transportation charges two ways and
probably a commission or two. 1t is
certain there will not be sufficient seed
grain in the state in any event. We
will be compelled to go out of the state
for much of it, but every bushel that
can be bought inside the state will
mean a saving in money and a greater
certainty of crop"

Pebbles From California.

Grinding pebbles as "a California
product are first announced in the re-
port of mineral production for 1915,
the years yield having been $40 tons,
valued at $3.50. Flint pebbles have
been imported from Belgium and other
parts of Europe, but the higher prices
have led to search for American sup
plies. One shipment of pebbles from
gold dredger tailings In Sacramento
county proved so soft that the con-
sumption was three times as great as
that Of Danish pebbles-this, with a
long wagon haul making the material
too expensive. Better results have
been had with the washed pebbles, one
