School Opens Monday.

The Huttig Consolidated Dis trict No. 60 school will open Mon day morning and every parent is urgently requested to have their children present on the opening day that the work may be given each pupil at the same time. You owe this to your child as getting started late sometimes causes them to lose the foundation princi- ples of their studies and they do not progress as they should.
 An entrance fee of $l.0O will | e charged every pupil entering the school, which should be paid the opening day. Either give each pu- pill the $lC0 or an order on the Union Saw Mill Go. for it. This rule will be enforced to the letter and means every pupil.
 The directors desire to imprese upon the parents of children within school age that the pupils must start to school within. two weeks from the opening day and that ex- emptions, such as the law pro- vides, must be stated to the prop CT authorities. The pupils between z and l 5 years of age must attend school three-fourths of the stipu- lated term. Failure to comply with the law is punishable by a fine of not less than $1O under the new compulsory attendance law.

Attention Wheat RaiserS.

From the lists being sent in il seems that Union county will plant between 2,OOO and 5000 acres o1 wheat this fall. This means al least one bushel of seed for every acre planted. On account of short age of seed and also of shipping facilities we should secure this seed as early as possible. If you haven't already ordered your wheat you should make arrangements for it at once. The Council of De- fense will arrange to have seed wheat ordered for all farmers mak- ing request. You should write to R. N. Benson, secretary, Council of Defense. Fl Dorado, stating how much seed you want ordered for you. w. T. McKell,
 County Agent.

Negro is Given PardOnS.

Governor Brough Monday issued a pardon to Jim Johnson, negro, convicted in the spring term, 1917, of Union Circuit Court, of grand larceny and sentenced to one year in the state penitentiary.
 A statement from the governors s office said:
 The trial court granted an ap- peal to the defendant, and gave him so days to file his appeal, which same was filed in proper time. By some mistake, the pa pers in the case were misplaced and for that reason the clerk was unable to prepare a transcript and Johnson was thereby denied his right of appeal. The petition to the governor asking for the pardon was signed by the two prosecutina witnesses whose property was stolen, and also by the prosecuting attorney and circuit judge. and by all the county officers of Union county, together with large num- Der of citizens.

SELECT GOOD COTTON SEED.

Do not let the opportunity to get good planting seed for next year slip by. Arkansas people should increase their production and value of their cotton great deal by sav- ing the best for seed. Select next years seed in the field. Have good pickers go over the field ahead of the regular force and save the best bolls from the best plants, choosing from those showing abili- ty to yield; watch also for earli- ness, for size of boil and for storm resistance. Get enough of the best to make bale at least, have this ginned free from admixture and save the seed for planting pur- poses.

BUY oAT DRILLS TOGETHER.

The county agents report that in number of instances men are getting together to buy grain drills. This is very good practice and if the owners of small tracts of land in Arkansas are to compete with their more wealthy brothers they must cooperate not only to buy oat drills, but many other things simp- Fly because they cannot afford to get them in any other way and without these things they cannot produce a crop as economically as the man who has them. Why not get together and buy corn shred ders, stump pullers, pea and bean harvesters and anything else you may need. Do not forget that V. H. Kern, farm machinery expert with the Extension Division, will be glad to give advice and help you at any tune.

BOLD BANK ROBBERY.
First National Bank of nattig Robbed in
 Broad Daylight by Lone Bandit.

Shortly after l o'clock last Fri day afternoon a lone bandit entered the First National Bank and asked Assistant Cashier w. P. Reasons, who was alone in the bank, to change dollar bill for him. As Reasons reached for the change rack the robber covered him with a gun and told him to put up his hand and hold them up. He then ran around the fixtured and entered the enclosure, keeping Reasons covered all the time When he reached him he made him lay down on the floor on his face and then bound his hands be- hind hin and also bound his feet with heavy fish cord.
 The robber then proceeded to clean out the currency cash drawer and the safe of everything in sight, but left the silver on the counter.
 While thus engaged Adolph, the lO-year- old son of J. E. Dickerson, entered the bank and asked where the cashier was and the robber took him and put him in the vault and then dragged MT. Reasons in and shut the door but did not lock it. The boy became excited, com menoed crying and offered the rob Der twenty five cents to let him out.
 Just as the bandit was leaving the bank son of T. M. Barton's started to enter bank and asked the robber where the cashier was and he told him he would be there in few minutes. The boy looking down toward the general office of the Union Saw Mill Co.,, saw Cash fer c. T. Thompson coming and told the robber there he comes now. Mir. Thompson passed the robber a short distance from the bank and as he came up the Bar ton boy asked him why that fel- low had put that boy in the vault" and Thompson rushed in the bank to get his gun but the robber had hidit. He opened the vault, released Reasons as quickly as possible and gave alarm. A posse was formed as soon as possible but no horses were available and the only auto mobile in sight went the wrong di- rection as it was soon learned that the robber had taken to the Ouach- ita river bottoms east of town. The search continued all the after noon, but the thickets are so plen- tiful that he was not caught.
 The robber secured $6,556 OO, of which $2,5OOOO was in gold and $1zO.Oo in silver, the balance currency. The bank carried burg lar insurance to cover the loss. but there are many sore citizens to think that he made a clean get away with it.
 The job was pulled off by pro- fessional is the general opinion of all as he even had extra fish line ties for Cashier Thompson had he happened in before he was through.
 Up to Thursday night one sus- pect had been arrested at Millville and turned loose and the officers went to Monroe to look over the party who cut up policeman there Tuesday and was shot while resist ing arrest. They have several other clues on which they are working.

REMEMBER THE CLOVERS.

As result of the clover cam paign put on last year by the Ex- tension Division hundreds of farm CTS are again planning on putting in these leeumes. Clovers are valuable for several reasons: Planted in the fall they keep our land from washing and save our soil fertility. In addition they fur nish humus which helps to make the soil loose and mellow and cap able of holding more moisture for longer period of time. They also add nitrogen to the soil and furnish the finest kind of green feed for cattle, hogs, and poultry before the regular pastures come on. You cannot afford to be without these wealth producers, but remember, that some precautions must be taken in starting out with these crops. Write to the Extension Di- vision for suggestion on growing these legumes and ask for the clo- yer calendar.
 TAKE CARE IN PLANTING OATS.
 Arkansas people who plant oats should be sure that their seed has been we'll cleaned and that it is free from cheat, weed seed. light and broken grains and trash of all kinds. In addition, all oats should be treated for smut regardless of where they are from. This treat ment is not expensive and can be relied upon. It is also very inn portant to plant rust-proof yarie- ty in order to insure the best re- turns and It is big mistake to expect oats to do their best on very thin soils.
