While those who have enlisted dRplie, national
guard will not be requiIed 10 jregAAH tSniSf13w.
nor will they be drafted later on, it is far from be-
ing the case that the men who are in the guard or
who may enlist today are attempting to dodge any
liability to duty. The exact contrary is the case,
because it certainty that the guard will be call
ed into active service before there will be draft
in Hawaii. The idea that may prevail with some
that there is to be draft here for the regular SER
vice only, with the guard staying out, is certainly
not we'll founded,

The State Council of Defense
 has been in correspondence with
 government authorities relative to
 the development of the coal fields on Arkansas river west of Darda- nelle, within a hundred miles of Little Rock. There is a wonderful deposit of bunker coal, equal in quality with the celebrated smoke less coal of West Virginia. The government, seeing in this possibl- ities for the establishment of a na- val coal reserve, is bringing all pressure to bear for development. The U. s. bureau of mines reports that the Arkansas semi-anthracite produces for lZOO pounds the equivalent in heat units of 24OO pounds of Kentucky coal It is pointed out that by reason of river transportation, the railroads can be relieved of much of the strain. St. Paul and Minneapolis alone will take 4 100000 tons of the Arkan- sas coal if it can be delivered there.

Canning School Tuesday.

Every housewife in Huttig and vicinity should attend the canning school to be conducted at the high school building Tuesday, July s, by Helene s. Henry, county home demonstration agent, and a corp of assistants.
 Indications are that the war will last several years and if such is the case all who do not can enough vegetables and fruit to do them through the winter will probably go without as the prices are high now and by next year on account of the shortage tin many kinds will not be on the market at any price
 Let every housewife make ar. engagements now to spend the en tire day if possible at the schoc that all may bs pro1aoisDssin the ar of canning and preserving by the cheapest and best methods.

MAKE THE BOY A PARTNER.

Let your boy have some pigs or a share in a few acres of corn. Di- vide the profits of his labor with him and let him join a pig or corn club of your county. These things will do much to interest the boy in the farm and keep him at home. At this time when the new draft law will make a good many vacan- cies in our towns and cities, our farm boys can easily find plen- ty of work and good pay. Regard less of what their parents think, many of them will no longer be willing to work for their living alone. Give him a chance and you will have less difficulty in keeping him on the place. You will surely need his help before the year is over.

NEGRO DESTROYS BOIL WttvII.
Plan Worth Trying, and Is Apparently Suc-
 Cessful If Used Properly.

According to reports from Ala bama, negro of that state has discovered method of combating the boil weevil, and has succeeded in raising cotton which is not both cred in the slightest by the pest. If these reports are true the ne- gro's method deserves investiga- tion and thoro test as to it's effic- iency.
 The Montgomery Advertiser de- scribes the method as follows:
 John McDuff, a negro planter six miles east of the city, has worked out novel and seemingly certain means of eradicating the boil weevil. He had 25O acres of finest cotton in the country and not single weevil was ever found in it. On being asked how he killed them, he said he did not kill them but prevents their coming to his cot ton. McDuff is an intelligent man and originated the method of run- hing them away himself. If it is fact, as is claimed, he has found the long sought method of prevent ing the waste of millions of dollars in the South thru the ravages of this pest.
 The method is very simple. McDuff takes crude oil, tar and camphur gum. He puts these in pot and boils them. With sufficient oil in the mixture to make it liquid, he vets common croker sacks in the mixture, then he squeezes them as dry as he thinks necessa- ". He says that if too much o1 the mixture is usad t will kill the young cotton. The wet sacks are fastened by drag stick fastened to the blow beam. Each week the crop is plowed and dragged over with these saturated sacks, both sides of the cotton getting the fumes of the mixture. On going  down one side the sack touches lightly one side and when it returns it touches the other side.
 This method costs about fif- teen cents an acre, McDuff says. He says he used the method with success in 1915, and that he got five more bales per horse last year by having the weevils out of the way. If it is success, and it seemingly is, this negro has solved problem that has confronted the best brains in the South for the past ten years"

"Dredge Supt. Overtakes Jack"

We have heard of an auto over
taking a jack-rabbit on good level
roads but scarcely ever heard of an
incident where tin Lizzie had over
taken one of those masters of speed.
July 4th, seeing there was very little
doing in Alberta, Frank Wuersch
together with the city editor and
several others decided to go to Cho-
kio to see what was going on there.
When about half way on their jour
ney a strong nimble jack rabbit
jumped up ahead of the Ford and
started down the road toward Cho-
kiO so Frank grabbed several levers
and clutches on the tin Lizzie and the
crowd were soon flying through the
air at terrific speed. The first mile
the rabbit seemed to just about hold
his own and then he began dropping
one ear and then the other, the speed
Ometer was Quivering over the so,
the jack was lastly lOosing ground
and soon had to turn out and give
the tin Lizzie the right of way. It
was very exciting chase and one of
the most interesting races we can
recall at a Fourth of July celebra-
ton.
