GRAVITY Of Task TOLD
TO EXEMPTION BOARDS
Communication of Provost
Marshal Impresses Solem-
nifty of Work Ahead.
NO COURT FUNCTIONS
Presidential Order Cautions
That Spirit Of Selective
Draft Be Upheld.

Washington. July 2S.--The gravity of
the task which faces members of local
draft exemption boards is called to
their attention in solemn language in
communication by the war department
and made public tonight by Provost
Marshal General Crowdcr.
The selected man offers his life"
says General crowder 1T will
strengthen you to remember that for
every exemption or discharge that
is made for individual conven-
fence, or to escape personal loss Of
money or property. or for favor or at
lection, some other man whose time
would not otherwise have come. must
incur the risk of losing his life
The boards are told they are not

two persons in controversy. You, act

munication. ARE to investigate each
case In the interests of the nation and
never in the interests Of an individual"
General Crowder closes with the
declaration that the nation needs men
quickly and the boards will receive lit
tie praise and some blame. Your
knowledge that at great personal sarci-
flee YOU are rendering your country an
indispensable service in a matter of
the utmost moment"
President Wilson tonight issued an
executive order directing government
officials to exercise ''the greatest care
| in issuing exemption affidavits to EN-
ployes in the civil executive depart

| Importance of carrying out the spirit

the spirit as the federal departmental

upon. as employers, under section "A

 The Harrison measure is an ex- haustive one, requiring the dealer to show on his label the name of the seed, the name of the seller, the ap- proximate weight of foreign matter in the package, the approximate weight of each species of seed in a mixture, the germinating power of the seed as shown by a laboratorial test, and the locality in which the seed is grown. The bill applies largely to cereal seed and cotton, and the measure requires the dealer to show on the label if there is any amount of obnoxious seeds in the packages, and the seeds which are considered obnoxious, are named.
 The bill carries an appropriation of S3,000 per annum for it's enforcement, with inspectors to enforce the law, working under the Arkansas Experi- ment Station.

 Other wholesale houses. make the same prediction, and their salesmen are busy little merchants with their order books.
 Many of the jobbing houses and the manufacturing concerns sold heavily during the fall months of spring goods for January delivery. The merchants were anxious to buy, for the tendency of the market was upward, and every merchant who had the nerve to go in- to the market strong and buy for fu- ture delivery, has made a bundle Of money, for the goods now are worth much more than when they were sold. The local houses which sold this mer- candise had it all boxed and ready to go, and the Little Rock freight depots looked like ammunition depots at the front, during the first week of the month so high were they stacked with this outgoing freight

DAIRYMEN ARE
 CALLED TO ACT
MIR. AUTEN DECLARES THAT THE DAIRY BUSINESS IN ARkAN-
 SAS IS uNPROFlTABLE.

In calling the dairymen together for the completion of their state organiza- ton, H. F. Auten of Pulaski Heights says:
 "'rhe dairy business in Arkansas has become so unprofitable that many dairymen are selling their herds and going out of business-while the bal ance are running at loss, or barely existing. In all other lines of work and business, prosperity is at high tide, and there is more money in Ar kansas than ever before.
 "Bricklayers art getting s6 per day. plastercrs $6 per day, carpenters $4.S0 per day. all for eight hours work, while there is probably not a dairy man in Arkansas getting St per day for IS hours work-besides getting nothing for his investment in cows and equipment, after paying for feed and other expenses
 Last week about 100 dairymen met at Little Rock and unanimously agreed to organize a state dairy as. sociation for the purpose of putting the dairy business on a profitable foot ing, so that dairymen can make the same reasonable profit made in other lines of business, which will make Ar kansas blossom with creameries and cheese factories, thus giving the farm CT broad market of all the milk which Arkansas can produce. 
 We are now sending millions of dollars North annually for dairy prod ucts, thus making the North rich when we should keep these millions iii Arkansas to clothe and educate our own children

CONDITIONS IN
 THE PULASKI JAIL
FEDERAL PRISONER SAYS THAT ALL THINGS NECESSARY FOR COMFORT AND CONVEN-
 FENCE ARE PROVIDED.

In reply to Federal Judge Trieber, in an address denouncing the conduct of Arkansas prison institutions at a meeting of the Arkansas Conference for Social Welfare Sunday night at the Old Statehouse, Charles V. Holl- man, a government prisoner, serving a six months term in the Pulaski County Jail for violation of the Mann Act,n has to say to the public in statement made and written for the press, Monday, the following article: Conditions in the Pulac,li County Jail.
 Tt may be Of interest to the people of Pulaski county to know something about the conditions of the county Jail While the jail at times may be oyercrowded, the sanitary conditions are good There is hot and cold run ming water, perfect sewerage, modern cush tanks and 575foot enameled bathtubs. While the ventilation is not modern, there is plenty of fresh air provided by side and roof ventilators. The beds are of two kinds. swinging hunks in the cells and iron spring cots. The bedding consists of a cot ton mattress, good pillows and wool blankets, sheets and pillow slips are furnished each week Towels and soap are plentiful, disinfectants are provided and the prisoners are com pelled to take a bath at least twice a week or oftener if they want to. hav 1c d0d once a week There is every oppor- tunity given prisoners to wash their clothes as there is plenty of laundry soap and rub boards, and the prison CTS look after one who is inclined to be careless about his person. The jail is heated by steam furnished by the Central Heating Company, and is al- ways we'll heated.
 "The food is plain wholesome and well cooked and plenty of it. Of course, there might be greater va riety.
 "The treatment of prisoners by the jail officials is kind and everything that can be done for them is done cheerfully and promptly. The jail has a good library of over 300 volumes and the inmates are encouraged to make use of it.
 "All the jailers, from MT Evans down, always have word of cheer and encouragement for the despond- ent and down-hearted, and use their efforts to assist and advise the pris- oners as far as it lays in their power, and without doubt the Pulaski County Jail will compare favorably with any jail in or out of the state"

DULL SEASON IS
 LONG PAST DUE
MANUFACTURERS AND JOBBERS EXPECTED TO FIND THINGS DIFFERENT AFTER FIRST OF
 THE NEW YEAR.

From all appearances, there is to be no dull season in 1917, for instead of the let up anticipated by the manufac- turers and jobbers of Little Rock, the rush has been greater than ever.
 It has been customary to take time off about the last week of the old year to take stock, and the first week of the new year was consumed, in years which ran true to schedule, in getting lined out for the drive over the other fifty-one weeks. There has been nothing of this kind this year. Factories have continued to run over time, and the shipping departments Of all local jobbing houses have been rushed off their feet trying to keep within hailing distance of the sales men.

 Selling Farm Produce.

Cato, Ark, Jan. 15, 1917. Editor The Pulaskian:
 Gentlemen: We would like to ex- tend our thanks( through your valua- ble paper) to the firm of Geyer & Adams, in behalf of some of the farm CTS and retail merchants of Arkansas for their attempt to save us from being devoured by the Mail Order Houses" Through you we wish to state to them that their idea would be unjust to the farmers, as the sole reason for diversified farming is, that the farmer may have something to sell every week of the year. If their idea is adopted it will force us farm CTS to organize clubs and send out produce to commission merchants in some city other than Little Rock. That being the case it would lead us to buying the most of our staple gro ceries in those markets.

Two bills which are important to the jobbing interests of Little Rock, as well as to the retailer and the farm CT, are pending in the House. both having for their object the prevention of adulterated seeds being placed on the market.
 One of the bills was introduced by Mir. Hardy, of Faulkner, and the other by Mir. Harrison of Cross Both bills require the labelling of all packages of seeds of over one pound The Hardy bill includes vines, shrubs and trees in it's provisions, and requires the dealer to guarantee the article to be as represented on the label. with a
