NOT ADVISABLE TO PLACE BOYS
 ON FARMS HERB
Rotary Directors Believe Chamber of Commerce Has
 County Well Organized.

Directors of the Rotary club of Pine Bluff, in special session yesterday at the Hotel Pines, to take action in in- structions for the International as- sOciatiOn to enlist the assistance of school boys in work on the farms, de- cided that the plan followed in Chi cago and other cities of the country north of Mason and Dixon's line, would be impractical here, and that the chamber of commerce of Pine Bluff, working with the farm demon stration agents and citizens of the rural communities, has already got the situation we'll in hand. The Rotary club directors agreed their organi- zation could best achieve the purpose aimed at by the national association by cooperating with the chamber of commerce. A resolution was adopted to this effect, the commercial Organi- zation being offered the assistance of Rotary in any way the club can be of use.
 At the meeting yesterday. Fl. K. Toney, president of the local Rotary club, read letter from Chesley R. Perry. the international secretary, who explained that the board of direc- tors of the association had voted to assume the work of getting the boys on the farms to aid in planting, culti- vating and gathering crops.
 "The plan is," said MT. Perry, "to make available for farm work in few days thousands of young men from the American high schools and the grammar schools also. Mir. Howard H. Gross, former member of the Chicago board of education, has got ten the Chicago school authorities to grant leave to the boys to substitute farm work for school work for the balance of the school year giving the boys going onto the farms full credit therefor. The Chicago boys arc en- thusiastic and ready to go. consider ing it as fine opportunity to enlist to do their bit for their country.

MISS ELEANORA SEARS. Miss Eleanora Sears has been
 hailed as the greatest all-around
 woman athlete of the world. There have been woman stars who rose to
 the top in one or, perhaps, two branches of outdoor sport, but not one can boast of unusual skill in more than half-dozen lines, as can the well-known Boston sportswoman As a horsewoman, riding to the hounds, Miss Sears has no equal, while swimming and diving she
 could hold her own in an all-around swimming meet. With the tennis
 racket Miss Sears has won many hon. OTIS. and is at present the joint holder with Miss Bjurstedt of the national doubles title.
 Miss Sears is an accomplished dancer and is a graceful and experi- enced skater, either on ice or rollers. She can sail or row almost. if not quite, as we'll as man, and at the
 wheel of her 12O horsepower racing
 car she is capable of giving the mo- tor officers merry race. Ninety
 miles an hour is no unusual speed for
 her. and yet she handles the big car so skillfully that danger never seems near.
 Not content with brilliant achieve
 ments on land and on and in the
 water. Miss Sears has more than once ventured in the realms of the air
 and is an accomplished aviatriX.

cities have been asked to follow Chi cago's example and Mr. Gross has in- vited the Rotary clubs to take charge of the carrying out of the idea in their respective communities. For the clubs the International directors have promised to do this. It will be a short, sharp campaign of intensive work"
 Reports from every section of the Pine Bluff country indicate that the increase in acreage devoted to food and feed crops will be ample to pro- duce sufficient food and feed to meet requirements of this section. It was stated at the meeting yesterday that "ten times as much" food and feed will be produced in this section as in any year in the past. and that the chamber of commerce is doing every thing necessary to increase the pro duction of foodstuffs here.
