Of side rails for automobiles. 1t has

and will, press pieces Of steel seven
teen feet long and three-eighths of an
inch thick.
This is the second machine of this
kind to be installed in the WHY'S
Overland factories. The first, toy
gle press Of 1000 tons pressure, was
put in last spring.
"The new machine, which is to be

hensive Wiilys-O Overland line, weighs
325 tons. Some Of the single pieces

Drunken Auto Drivers
s. Get ''Pen" Term and Fine

New Yorks decree that any person
found guilty Of driving an automobile
while intoxicated will be Sentenced
to "a year III the penitentiary and a
fine Of $500 errs only on the side of
leniency. 1t should be five years in
the penitentiary and $500 fine. A
private corporation which would per-
nit an irresponsible person of this
class to operate dangerous machines,
run train, manage boat, an eleva-
tor, or have charge of anything
where he could endanger the lives of
other people, would be guilty of
criminal negligence. Under the
Safety First" policy of most large
companies irresponsible individuals
are being eliminated from important
positions. For anyone to permit such
persons to drive an automobile is also
criminal neglect, and those guilty Of
it should be severely punished in the
only way they can be punished, !. e.,
by depriving them Of their liberty
and their lucre. Aatomobiling has
quite enough to answer for without
being held responsible for the criminal
acts of drunken car drivers, whether

Business a Battle of Brains

Of two armies with equal numbers of men and the same make of guns. one conquers the other. Why Because of it's men. Of two business houses, side by side with the same equipment and stock, one succeeds the other fails. Why Because of it's men.
 Take two merchants. X and B. in an average town. They carry the same line of goods, general merchandise per haps, and each has stock valued at Si0, 000 A sells his goods at 10 per cent profit and turns his stock over once year. His annual profit Is $i. 900. B Is content with profit Of S per cent and spends per cent for advertis- ing. As result B sells $65. 000 worth of goods in the year. Eight per cent sis S5, 200, or l3 per cent of his capital stock. His overhead expense, salaries, rent, heat, light etc, is no greater than that of his neighbor and he has not charged any more for his goods Yet, in the same length of time he has made his capital stock of S40, oo0 earn him $l, 200 more than his competitor Who will win this battle2 The mer- chant who uses every available in tluence for success the man who has learned that advertising speeds the turnover and lowers the cost of dis tribution.
 This will be the theme of the great convention of the Associated Adyertis- ing Clubs of the World to be held in St. Louis. June 3rd to 7th next Many of America biggest business men will be present to discuss this subject which is of such vital interest to every mer- chant.
 What is the value to the merchant of an idea that will insure the success of his business? At this greatest of all business conventions, merchants can secure the ideas ammunition that will make them the victors in their fields It will be worth to any mer- chant many, many times the cost of the trip and it is near home this year, much nearer perhaps than for many years to come.

Brough, Governor and Commander in Chief of the National Guard of our Commonwealth, relying on the patriot ism, loyalty and pride of every citizen within our beloved state calls upon all Registration Officials, as the Repre- sentatives of the Sovereigns of the State of Arkansas. to impress upon all men of military age the seriousness of the situation confronting us and ap- peals to them to volunteer without de lay for service in the common defense of our Nation. by joining the National Guard of their Native State. whereby they will be enabled to serve along side of their own friends and kinsmen in companies raised in their own commun- tiles
 Attention Is especially called to the advantage and privelege in volunteer ing at this time for service with officers and men composing your State troops, men who are your friends, kinsmen and companions
 Men eligible for military duty who do not enlist in some branch of the military service prior to June fifth. will be drafted; while 1t Is just as honorable to be drafted yet men drafted will have no choice in companies. regiments or even the branch of Military service to which they will be assigned by the War Department.
 Men enlisting now in the State Guard have the opportunity to join the com pany and regiment in which they have acquaintances and friends, with whom they will associate during their entire service
 Every County in our Great State Organization. and it is hoped that every County not so represented will at once take steps to organize platoon or if possible a company in order that each and every County in our beloved State will voluntarily contribute it's pro rata number of men to our own State Troops, and thereby show our sister states and the world that the State of Arkansas will do it's full duty

June 9th a Legal Holiday.

Following the designation by Presi- dent Wilson of Tuesday, June 9th, as the date for the registration for patri- otic service of all male citizens of the United States between the ages of 2l and 30. Governor Brough has issued a proclamation setting apart that day as legal holiday for the purpose of se= curing the registration of all eligible citizens, and urges all churches to as- semble at some convenient hour on that date and hold religious and patriotic services, offering in their heart of hearts prayers to the most High God that victory may crown our forces on land and sea- that the world may be redeemed, regenerated and disen- thralled by the irresistible genius of universal emancipation, and that per manent peace may be established among the nations of the earth where there are human rights to respect and where the latchstring of the humble cottager shall be as sacred as the sculptured entrance of the palatial lord "
 President Wilson in his proclamation says that the significance of this con scription cannot be overestimated It is new thing in our history and a landmark in our progress. It is new method of accepting and yitalizing our duty to give ourselves with thoughtful devotion to the common purpose of us all. It is in no sense conscription of the unwilling; it is, rather, selection from a nation that has volunteered in mass 1t is no more a choosing of those who shall march with the colors than it is selection of those who shall serve as equally necessary and devoted purpose in the industries that lay be- hind the battle line. The day here named is the time upon which all shall present themselves for assignment to their tasks. 1t is for that rfason

SEE THAT THE LIVESTOCK GETS
 PLENTY OF MINERAL MATTER.
By J. R. Rather. Chemist to Ex-
 pertinent Station.

pertinent Station
 While il is generally recognized by the farmers of Arkansas that they must feed salt to their livestock. this matter does not always receive the al. tention it deserves. All animals re- quire an amount of mineral matter de- pending upon their live weight and whether they are growing or produc- ing milk If they do not get the re- quired amount at any particular time. they will draw on the supply stored in the body for their daily needs. This leads to malnutrition and is dan. gerous
 A dairy COW, for example needs about an ounce of salt Der day, and this amount is especially necessary If the flow of milk is heavy. Tho salt is best fed mixed with the feed It fs believed by some that this amount of salt is not enough, but as too much salt is almost as bad as too little. it Is best not to exceed this amount.
 If 1t is thought that the animal is not getting enough salt il would he well 10 place salt in some place access slble to the stock and unmixcd with my feed. In this way there would be little danger that tho animal would get too much of this material Dairy COWS also require \ considerable amount of lime and phosphoric acid If this ia not supplied in some form. the animal will draw on the supply stored in the bones. and the latter will be weaken. ed. These minerals are best supplied by feeding an adequate amount of roughage, preferably as cowpea or some other feguminous hay. Atten- ton to these principles means money to the farmers Of this state in the form of more milk and healthier ami. mals.
