Arkansas Council of Defense

Little Rock, June 18.-The Arkansas State Council of De fense has been requested by the Commercial Economy Board, or ganized under the authority of the National Council, to investi gate and advise in regard to the economic distribution of commO. dities so as conserve both capi- tai and personnel for the nation al defense, to cooperate in a movement for the conservation of bread stuffs. Wholesale bakers have been requested not to ac cept returns of unsold bread af- ter June 24 The Board believes that more than 80 per cent of the bakers favor eliminating the return privilege, but that it is important that every baker do SO.
 The following bakeries have been listed in Arkansas, with which the matter has been taken up; Argenta, J. F. Nothwang & Son; Conway, Cole & Go, and Casper Dunn; El Dorado, Nara ble Bros; Fort Smith. Fort Smith Biscuit Go; NJ. k. Groyer's Bakery; Edmondson's Bakery Go; Gentry, F. E. Willmer & Go: Helena, Nook Bakery; Hope, Chas. West; Little Rock, Egnor Bros, Krickerberg Baking Go, Relgler Bros; Pine Bluff, Home Baker, Yaugh's Bakery; Spring. dale, A. J. Turpin & Son Spring dale: Texarkana, John P Kline Baking Go.
 From an inquiry conducted by the Board, it appears that al- proXlmately 4 per cent of all the bread delivered by the wholesale bakers is later returned to them. and at least one third of this is sold for animal feed. With few exceptions. the 235 bakers con- suited agreed that the waste of labor and human food involved in the practice of accepting re- turns is detrimental to the pub lie interest and should be discon. tlnued. The reports indicate that at least one third of the re turned bread goes for other pur. poses than human consumption. and all realize that in the present

They will constitute the National Army, and as such are expected to give a good account of themselves at the front.

Little Rock, June 10. -Arkan- sas has not come up to it's quota in the recruiting for the regular army, and the State Council of Defense will assist the regular army authorities in bringing the needs of the government to the attention of the people.
 W. s. Clifford, director of the National Council. in a telegram to Durand Whipple, assistant di- rector of the State Council says:
 Attention is called to the re- cruiting situation of the Regular Army of the United States. Only 23O, ,OO0 men have been recruited out, of full quota of 3OO,OOO. There has beer a very serious falling off in the number of re- cruits, which, since Registration Day. has failed from 2,0OO per day to 400 throughout the en- tire country. Particular atten- tion Is called to the fact that men between the ages of Is and 21 and 31 and 40 inclusive are eliei ble for enlistment in the Regular Army as well as all men who reg istered for military service. Men engaged in professions or trades necessary to the prosecution of the war should not be enlisted. It is exceeding gly important that

Obituary.
HARRY LEE LAYTON.

Peacefully and restfully, "Like one
who. wraps the drapery of his couch
about him and lies down to pleasant
Dreams" Harry Lawton passed away
at the home of his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred A. Lawton, at Albion, on
Thursday afternoon, April 5, 1917.
Harry Lee Lawton was born in Al
bion, Wis, April II, 1890. When one
and one-half years old he moved to
Oregon with his parents where they
remained about two years, returning to
Albion where they have lived since.
When IL years old he was baptized by
Rev. S. H. Babcock and joined the S.
d. B. church. He received his early
education at the school known as the
Emery school house, attended the Ed
gerton high school for time and grad
uated from Albion Academy in 1909,
after which he taught school at Cross
Plains, Wis. For the past three years
he has been travelling for the Creamery
Pack age Co. with his headquarters at
Waterloo, Iowa. He came home about
the last of February, thinking he would
rest for few weeks, and was up and
around until three weeks ago.
Much of his life he had been deprived
of the blessings of vigorous health.
He seemed fated to combat insidious
foes to his bodily vigor. Against all
these he made brave, vigorous, man.
ly, hopeful fight. To bear his own
burdens to the fullest extent possible
seemed to be his desire and determine
tion In spite of all that could de done
by the tender and loving thought and
care of his parents, brother, sister and
friends, the fatal disease spread with
unusual rapidity and unyielding force.
Harry was a general favorite among a
large..circl of friends. He was genial,
vivacious, friendly, manly and upright:
He had very pleasing personality and
will be sadly missed, not only by his
grief stricken parents, brother and sis
ter, but by wide circle of loving rela-
tives and friends.
He leaves to mourn his loss his
mother and father, Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred A. Lawton, and one brother,
Clarence, and host of friends. The
funeral services were held at the S. ID.
B. church Sunday, April 8, Rev. c. S.
Sayre officiating. Interment was made
in Evergreen cemetery. Those from
out of town who attended the funeral
were C. W. left and family of Beloit,
Mr.. James Angel of GAINESVILLE, DIR. E.
C. Howell of Fennimore, Wis, Mae
MacLane of Fort Atkinson, G. ID. Law
ton, Mr.. and Mrs. Merlin Burdick, Mr..
and Mrs. Geo. Palmer, Paul Owen, Mr..
Hinkley and Paul Greenman of Milton
and Milton junction.

Mr.. Paul Hirschhorn returned to New

H. S. McGiffin of Sparta was Wis.,
itor in this market Monday evening.
N. j. Blur, Of E. Rosenwald & Bro,
New York leaf dealers, accompanied by

Nelse Auberg delivered to the Bek-
kedal firm II acre crop at Stoughton
during the week, sold at II and 10c,
which brought better than $3.50 per
acre.
The railway sidings in this market
have been crowded with about Is cars
loaded with tobacco the fore part of
the week that were shipped in from
outside points for handling.
We have recently heard of several
extra fine crops of tobacco, but per-
haps the banner crop of southern Wis
consin was that of Otto Otteson of
Stone, Dane county, which was pur-
chased by A. d. Billiard last week and
received at his warehouse in Oxford
vile. On 23a acres AZ, 1893 pounds were
raised, which at IA cents pound, the
price paid by Mr.. Billiard, amounted to
SIS, 972 So. This would figure 1915 pounds
or 1854. 10 per acre. - Evansville Re-

Post Office Men Sleuths.

The largest single force which the
government has enrolled in its nation
wide spy hunt, with the possible excep-
ton of the municipal police and detec-
tive forces, is the army of postmasters,
all of whom have been instructed to
permit no clue as to the identity of
suspected individuals and their activ-
tiles to go unreported.
Under the postmasters are working
the letter carriers in the cities and the
rural free delivery carriers in the coun-
try, force all told of about 300, 900
men.
Instructions to the federal employees
call for the prompt reporting to desig-
mated authorities of all information, no
matter how minor it appears, which
seems to furnish clues in ferreting out
agents of foreign governments.
Under this head come letters passing
through the mails, kilograms, and even
overheard scraps Of conversation indi-
eating activity against the government.
Such information will be promptly for
warded to the proper Investigating
body at Washington, the name of the
informant held secret, and an inquiry
quietly begun whenever in the opinion
of officials entrusted with such work
investigation is warranted.

This Town Is Going to Do Something

Scientists insist that the enormous
death rate among babies of the coun-
try, up to the age of three months, is
almost wholly due to the ignorance of
the mother or her inability to care for
herself before the baby comes.
Of all the babies that die between
the ages of three months and year
old, about third are lost because of
bad milk, improper feeding and like
causes; and the other two-thirds die by
accidents or ordinary infant ills that
may be almost wholly prevented by
reasonable intelligence and care.
This is not an indictment of the
mothers of the country, any more than
of the fathers, the physicians, the pub
lie health officers, and in fact of all the
citizens who fail to provide the educa-
ton, publicity and co operation that
are absolutely necessary to any effort
to lower the tremendous death rate
among the little folks.
What is tie be done? That seems an
easy question to answer. Educate the
mother, the father, the physician, and
the public in general TO the necessary
precautions to be taken. Give public
ity, through the local newspapers and
| otherwise, to the experiences of those
who are working toward better condi-
tions for the habies. And finally, CO.
operate to make the results permanent.
| This is what the Baby Week Cam
! paign, to be conducted here May l to
| 6, is going to do. To lower the death
| rate among infants here for 1918 is
the primary object of the campaign.
Every one can help. There were 3, las
babies under four years of age in Wis
consin who died in six months last year.
That is far more than there should
have been.
Watch this paper for the program
later.
