Aid for the Farmers.

Upon the farmers of this country has
been placed definite and heavy respon-
sibility. They are enjoined to plant the
largest acreage ever put under cultiva-
ton in America in order that the coun-
try itself may be abundantly supplied
with food and that great surplus be
raised for the supply of tho nations with
which the United States is now arrayed
against the Germanic force. The farm
ers individually are undoubtedly will
ing to do their utmost. But with few
exceptions they are at this hour in need
of assistance if they are to do even as
much this year as in the years past.
They must have help to seed their farms
and they must be assured of labor to
plant and harvest the crops.
In another part of The Star today ap-
pears letter proposing the organiza-
ton of great national society, having
for its object the rendering of this as
sistance The thought is an excellent
one. II may be that through or with
the aid of some such organization can
be worked out the plans now formulat-
ing by the government to give the farm
er the materials for raising the great
crops that the country requires. The
National Agricultural Society, lately in
session here, has moved for the conser-
walton Of farm resources and urged q
federal commission to regulate prices.
The organization now proposed is de-
signed to finance the farmers in their
heavy labor of extraordinary tillage.
Already the question of seed, machin-
cry and labor has been taken under
serious consideration at the Department
Of Agriculture. Calls have been issued
to those who wish to serve the country
and are perhaps ineligible for military
duty to 60 to the farm. The real prob
lem will be to distribute this labor eff
fectivcly. Some regulation of wages
must be assured. There must be no COM
petitive bidding for service with the re-
suit of advancing the cost of labor be-
yond the reach Of the farmer
Absolute reliance cannot be placed
upon the farm loan bank system as a
means of enabling the farmer to meet
this crisis. Even at the low rates of
interest offered recourse to this source
of capital supply means debt. and at the
present rate of cost Of supplies, machin-
cry, seeds. fertilizers and labor the debt
involved in preparation to double the
crop will be too heavy for the American
farmers to bear The prices of seed
and fertilizer and machinery must be
fixed so that the farmers can reach their
markets without involving themselves
too seriously in obligations.
@The Red, White and Blue Society of
the United States" proposed by The
Stars correspondent, offers an oppor.
tunity for every American to do some.
thing to insure the full utilization Of
this country's rich agricultural resources
and may prove as valuable as the Red
Cross and the other agencies that are
making for victory.

will review its past work and make

brought about by these entertain

New York Cotton.

New York, Oct 17.-The cotton market was less active early today With fluctuations irregular. The oEening was steady at a decline Of 3 to l2 points under realizing and I.iv- erpool and southern selling. Some of the local traders thought they saw prospects for another cold wave in the Southwest within the next two or three days and immediate weather conditions were considered favorable and there may have been some ner- vousncss over press advices that Ger many is expected to extend the war zone to the American coast. Decem- Der sold off to 2724c and January to 26.76c shortly after the call, or Is to 19 points net lower. Trade interests were buyers on this decline however, and the market showed steady un- dertone toward the middle of the morning.
 Early offerings were readily ab- sorbed by trade buying and the mar ket turned firmer after the publica- tions of the western belt forecast for unsettled and colder weather. Bull ish spot advices were also factor on the advances which carried De cember contracts up to 2765c or 2S points higher than January to 27.42c, or 29 points above last nights closing figures. Later months were com paratively quiet but sold 15 to 20 points net higher on covering and scattered buying. According to a Memphis authority, damage by frost may be estimated at 500,0O0 bales. An early afternoon bulge carried January to 2730c with the more act i've months selling 2S to 35 points net higher. Offerings then became more active and general with Janu- ary selling off to 26.99c and December to 27.37c toward 2 o'clock, or bach, to nearly last nights close. The bulk of the selling was attributed to real izing while trade buying was less in evidence after the advance above PIC for January.

MEN WANTED

Al result of the war there is an enormous demand in all lines of busi. ness, both public and private. for trained men and women. Leading men of the nation are unanimous in the opinion that 1t is patriotic duty for men who are not eligible for army service to pursue buscness or techni- cal training and fit themselves for ser. vice elsewhere.
 Young men who are not in the se- lectiye draft, ale wanted in business positions provided they have the right training. Little Rock and Arkansas business men are begging now for trained help; they need men-great numbers of them-and must have them. It Is splendid opportunity for those who will train themselves in bookkeeping, shorthand, and other branches of clerical work.
 MT. George A. Mclean, President of Draughon's Business College of Little Rock. Ark, advises that the demand for office help has trebled in volume during the last three or four months, and that in August alone, nearly 200 positions were offered the students of his school Avery large majority could not be filled as there was not sufficient number of trained students available. MT. Mclean strong. ly urges business training and says that wonderful opportunities are now open to the young men and women of Arkansas.
 Those who are looking for an op. portunity and believe i'll the Do it now" spirit, should, by all means, communicate with MT. Mclean and learn his plan for assisting young peo. pie to prepare for business life.
