Fourth Annual Clean Up Day.


 The season of the year has again reached us, when, if we would guard the health of the community, prevent sickness, escape the doctors bill, it is necessary that thorough CLEAN UP of the town be made.
 I, Andrew L. Kinney, Mayor of Green Forest, 1es ring to do all possible to conserve the good health of our citizens and "those within our gates do hereby designate TUESDAY, May 18th, as the fourth annual clean up day.
 All are requested to clean up the premises owned or occ upied by them. being particular to gather all tin cans and other unsightly rubbish, and place all where the same can readily be removed, by teams provided for that purpose. Be sure to clean out from under porches and other places that may be damp, and which is the natural breeding place for germs and infection; use plenty of air slackcd lime in your work.
 All business men are especially re- quested to see that all of the alleys in the rear of the stores are placed in a sanitary condition, and the Marshal and Chairman of the Street Committee will see that this is done. Begin as early as next Monday, so the work will be completed and the rubbish removed by Tuesday night.
 Dated May 10th. 1917.

HAIL STORM

What was splendid prospect for a fine fruit and grain crop last week was almost totally destroyed by hail storm that struck this portion~ of the state near six o'clock last Thursday after noon. For five minutes or more the rain and hail fell in torrents. Old timers say it was by far the most severe hail storm that ever visited this section. Gardens and strawberry patches were just about a total loss. Most gardens will be plowed up and planted over, 1t is thot the potatoes will come out of it to some extent, but will never reach more than a half crop.
 It is to be regretted, but this is a year when we cannot afford to lose courage, so think quick and fast to the best advantage and replant or plant over as your best judgement may direct.
 Later: Many of the farmers report damages to corn. wheat and oats not so serious as was first thot. It has also been found out that the fall of hail was light in places and some gardens, fruit, etc, were left almost entirely unharmed, while in other places the hail was so large window panes were broken. In places hail drifted and lasted up the time of our going to press.

NOTICE

Bakers can no longer furnish bread at 5c per loaf, hence remember you will have to pay 10 cts until there is a reduction in the price of flour. We will give big loaves and, we think, a better quality for 10c. Our other pro- ducts are raised in proportion. As you know, this is something we cannot help, and we hope tocontinue to receive your patronage. and trust with you that old prices will soon again prevail.
 Respectfully,

Saws e. S. Lacks Enough Rifles to
Equip an Army

The government cannot provide
enough rifles of the American army is
sue to equip the contemplated army.
The only alternative is the use of the
British army standard
Funds were appropriated to make
large quantities of American rifles but
since the war began only $4,000 have
been made.
These facts were disclosed on Wed
nesday to the establishment of the
house of Representative Tilson of Con-
necticut, member of the committee on
military affairs.
Regulations require that there
should be two rifles to man. The
$4,000 Springfield rifles on hand,
therefore, would not go far in equip
ping an American army for France.
Mr.. Tilson said the factories here
could not turn out enough Springfield
rifles to fill the demand in a reasonable
time. He said, however, that they
could produce the British standard,
the .Lee-Enfield arm.
This, he said, would have the advan-
tage that the British and American
troops could use the same ammunition.
American factories are better equip
ped to make the British rife because
they have been making them in large
numbers for the British army
