The Carlisle independent. (Carlisle, Ark.) 1905-current, 1917-12-06

The Council of Defense at
Washington has passed a resolu-
ton urging that wherever prac-
ticable, voluntary patriotic orga-
nizations and committees in each
state should work through and
under the guidance of the State
Council of Defense, which should
be recognized as the central, CO.
ordinating agency for all volun-
tary, patriotic work directed to-
ward assisting in the prosecution
of the war. The Arkansas Coun-
Gil is being thoroughly organized
and is cooperating with the va
rious Councils of Defense in the
counties. All organizations are
urged to keep in touch with the
The Carlisle independent. (Carlisle, Ark.) 1905-current, 1917-12-06
state council, in order that their
efforts may be directed along
lines of greatest efficiency and
without duplication.

When you buy a range that
has proved itself to be the best,
your money has been well in
vested. The MA TESTIC DEM
ONSTRATOR will. during week
commencing Dec. 3rd to 8 inclu>
sive, show you why the MALES
TIC is the best. and why it ac-
tually saves you money.

The Carlisle independent. (Carlisle, Ark.) 1905-current, 1917-12-06

We must all learn to save in
living and business. Every one
who can must soon begin to buy
Government war bonds. These
are two important facts that are
being emphasized by Moorehead
Wright, Liberty Loan Commit
teeman of the State Council of
Defense. and State Chairman of
the War Savings Stamp organi
cation. He sounds note of warn
ing to all citizens in the following:
While we have just finished
with successful bond fotation
it is but one of the numerous is
sues that are to follow as long as
the war shall last. and we must
gauge our plans for an enduring
and growing demand rather than
consider the last campaign as a
matter ended.
The individual farmers, as a
rule, have not been reached.
There are many other people in
both city and country who know
q good deal about Liberty Bonds,
but do not own any. In most
cases the Liberty Loan organlza-
ton of the Federal Reserve Bank
of St. Louis will be the same for
the succeeding loans, so that the
time between the loans may be
protitably spent in perfecting the
organization and spreading the
doctrine to make the work easier
and more successful when the
next loan comes on. Any infor-
native or educative efforts now
will be we'll worth while, as there
will be more time for realization
by the people of their obligations
to buy bonds. +"

The State Council of Defense
is calling upon patriotic men of
the state who are not within the
draft age to volunteer their SER
vices for the Local and District
Boards in the second draft. Ar
kansas did not make the most
commendable showing in this re-
spect in the first draft, and an
appeal has been made to the pa
triotism of the men to make a
better showing in the next. The
following paragraphs are from
pamphlet of Instructions to the
Boards:
Members of the District and
Local Boards who desire to claim
compensation are entitled, re-
spectiYely to 81 25 and 81 per
hour for each hour they are on
duty in the office OF the board.
Their service, if not most frugal
ly and economically utilized, may
also result in an enormous item
of cost to the Government.
The Nations dollars must be
made to do their full duty on the
fighting line. Their must be no
waste at home. The accumula
ton of great treasure by taxes
and loans and the necessity for
unprecedented governmental ex
penditure must not result in un-
precedented governmental extrav

Autumn Leaves are Being
Marketed as a Fertilizer

Harrisburg, Pa Dead leaves that

are valued at $10,io Il ton. according
to prevailing prices for fertilizers. This
price is put upon them by Professor
Franklin MenGcs, farm adviser.
The composition of the leaves of
different species of trees varies he
says, but 100 pounds Of leaves as they
fall from the trees at this time, partly
dry. contain 60 per cent water, 9 per
cent nitrogen, and per cent lime \
ton of leaves will contain eighteen
pounds OF nitrogen. four pounds of
phosphorus, eight pounds of potassium,
and about 40 pounds of lime.
The nitrogen, Naluihc it at 10 cents
a pound, would be worth $40 and the
potassium at the same rate would be
worth $500. Leaving the value of the
phosphorus. the lime. and the organic
matter out of consideration, a ton of
leaves would be worth at the abnormal
prices now prevailing 5000"
