quotations, which ranged from the
same as yesterdays finish to 1c lower
with May at $1.79W1.S0 and July at
$l.o0M1.51, were followed by a de-

The blades Of some auto fans have
an Objectionable habit of working
loose on account of defective riveting
at the hubs. and for this reason new
fan should be rather carefully watch
ed for time. 4 loose blade can do a
great deal of damage and when one
blade goes the rest of the fan is very
often damaged, if running at very
high speed, because OF the lack OF
balance.

Little Rock, July 9,-The Arkansas State Council of Defense will this week send to all city authorities in Arkansas, request that they rigidly enforce the laws pretaining to vagran- cy. It is pointed out that there are many negroes about the city who are not working. These men work day or so, and at the present high wages, they receive enough to keep them going for the balance of the week, and this time is spent lettering about pool rooms. With labor so scarce, and prospects for it being scarcer when the national army is called to the colors, every man who can work must work or be forced to work in places where he will receive no compensation.

E TO BE COMMISSIONED
 AS LIEUTENANTS

1 Littel Rock, July s9-Fifteen young men from each of the companies in
 the officers Reserve Corps, now train ing at Fort Logan H. Roots, will be given provisional commissions as sec ond ieutenants in the regular United States Army. All these will be be- tween the ages of 23 and 27 years. The other officers seclected for duty will be assigned to the National Army.
 ssThe Regular Army is the place for recruits" states Capt. N. M. Cart nell, U. s. A., flor there the men are under officers who have spent years in caring for men. They know their business. They know haw to keep them in trim and always fit. They take pride in having the best appear ing body of men in their branch of service, and the regular army, having nothing but specially schooled cooks, there is never danger there"
 Any young man with brains, is on-commissioned officer almost from the start, getting $30 as private, and all necessities, and more as he is pro- noted. If he applies himself he is soon in position for promotion to commission. There never was a time when promotions are so rapid as they are today, and the army is a fit car ger for sa highe school boy to decide upon"
 Tn war the company that gets to the front in the best shape is the com pany that is going to come out of the battle in the best condition. It is to be expected that the we'll trained regu- lars, under skilled officers, will get to the front in best shape, so the boy who is going into the war ought to place himself in the hands of the man who will best fit him for the trying ordeal ahead"
