Praises Arkansas For Its Progress In
 Tick Eradication.

He reported that territory to be released December 1 comprises 13.305 square miles, or the following counties: Baxter, Colum bia, Crawford, Independence. Izard, Jackson, Lee, Lonoke, Monroe, Neva- da, Ouachita, Phillips, Pope. Prairie. St. Francis, Sebastian, Union, White and Yell and parts of Conway, Desha,
 Faulkner. Jefferson. Pulaski and Van
 Buren. This will make 50 per cent of Arkansas tick free
 Secretary Houston said that this and the territory in other Southern states released from quarantine makes a total of 65,520 square miles. There remain 20,952 miles in Arkansas to be released. and only 349. .25S miles of in. fested area in the South.
 Secretary Houston said that Missis- sippi. through an active campaign. has freed itself from quarantine entirely. and has driven wedge through the tick belt.
 Secretary Houston said:
 The enterprise of the people Of the freed counties in providing dip ping vats, their persistence in dipping all of their animals regularly their deternination to let nothing interfere with the eliminimation of the destruc- tive pest, have yielded this resuit-as important to the nation as to them selves. trust that you will communi- cate to your state officials and the residents of the several counties the earnest congratulations of the federal government"

DECLARES THIS IS NECESSARY ON ACCOUNT OF NEW FED
 ERAl CHILD LABOR LAW.
FULL RECORDS NECESSARY
These Statistics Are Also Necessary To Direct the Public Health Work inteuieenty, 1t was Said, and
 To Attract Capital.
Little Rock.

The State Board of Health will take active steps to enforce the vital statistic laws in every county, Dr. C. w. Garrisca. state health officer. said. This has become necessary, he said. on account of the new federal child labor lazy, which requires birth certiti- cates as proof of child's age.
 CompleAe records of deaths and births are necessary for other reasons, Or Garrison said, and in many sec tions no effort is being made at all t0 comply with the law. although the law has been on record three years and in every township registration blanks are furnished The records are valuable to determine child $ school age under the compulsory edu- cation act. and to afford insurance companies statistics for baSing their mortality records.
 In some sections of the state, Dr. Garrison said the insurance compa- ntes have based the death records on statistics furnished at d time when the death rate in those communities was much higher than 1t is now, thus causing restriction of policies and higher premium rates. Many business concerns also require such records be- lore entering the state These statis- tics are also necessary to direct the public health work inteiligntly. it was said. and te attract capital.

me executive session of the Ne tional Farmers Union held at Jones. boro was practically consumed in the the arguments were heated, but all in the very best of feeling. The report of the committee on resolutions in part was as follows:
 We pledge our utmost loyalty to cur government and to the boys wear ing our country's uniform in the great struggle in which the nation is now engaged. and we assure the govern ment and our soldiers that back of them in their service VIC food produc- CTS stand united for the prosecution 0f the war to a successful end"
 The report also said: We are un- alterably opposed to large standing armies in time of peace" and that we protest against any form of univer- sal military service" The report also urged that the farm boys in the camps in this country at the next harvest time be given furlough to come home and help save the grain.
 The committee on rural credits said . We indorse the federal loan act and believe if is a start in the right direc- ton. but il is thought beet to petition Congress to so amend the law that the landless and homeless man may Dor row as much as S0 per cent of the value of the land he may huy for Il home up to a limit of s10.0o0 and that the government issue it's bonds at three per cent and loan to the farmer al four"
 The committee on legislation re- ported We believe that the burden of the war should not be placed upon the future generations by interest bearing bonds. only in so far as he is absolutely necessary to successfully prosecute 1t, but should be raised by general taxation so far as possible on congested incomes, war profits, inheri- tance tax and graduated system of land taxation" It also urged the pas sage of Torrens law. under which the cost of perfecting titles will not be prohibitiye. and when 1t becomes a law will in any state be accepted as sufficient guarantee of title for rural credit loans
 The last work was the election of the following officers:
