Practice Economy

We are the most wasteful peo- pie in the world in our ways of living. Almost as great saving can be made through the more economical purchase and use of food as can be made through the processes of production which are immediately feasible.
 At present prices, a larger use of corn and rice products as par tial substitutes for expensive wheat products is urged. The substitut tion of the home grown and home prepared grain prod ucts for the more expensive re fined products known as break fast foods, will make a large say ing An important saving can be effected by partial substitution of beans, peas, and milk for the more expensive meats. Gardens should provide the home supply of vegetables, which are expen sive foods when purchased at the existing prices.

Prairie Msea Won By Lonoke school.

Seventytive loyal people of Carlisle left last Friday morning on the special train to Stuttgart for the purpose of representing the High School at the Prairie Literary and Athletic Associa tion.
 They aarived in Stuttgart at 9:45 and then marched to the High School where at 10:30, was held the Spelling, Compost tion. Voice and Declamation con tests.
 The Vocalists did themselves proud and so did the boys in De claming.
 The track boys at 11:30 were taken to a hearty fast by their keeper, and after an hours rest dressed themselves for the meet
 After all had had dinner they started to the Fair Ground in autos furnished by the business men of Stuttgart
 This means of transportation was free to the guests and in be- half of Carlisle, we extend many thanks to the people of Stutt- gart for their courteous treat ment of her guests.
 At ? D m the meet started with the 100 yd-dash followed by the shot put, 220 dash, 680-dash and so on until after $ p. m.
 Our boys were in the race right on their toes, until the last minute, and it was one grand, close, hard fight for everyone who won a prize.
 After all, we Carlisle people are justly proud, for we have one consolation. Homer Buhl broke the 440 dash record set by Holloway of Lonoke, last year.
 Just five Carlisle boys gave the other schools such a race that they feel they are the hap piest boys in the state.
 Their manliness has been shown to the world, their deter imitation was proven, their speed can hardly be excelled and last but not least all over the state, Carlisle is now known to be one best achools in the state.

Millions of Acres of
 Free Land Available

Washington April 16-Mil- lions of acres of unallotted pub. lie lands in the West and the farms of the East and South were pointed to by Secretary Lane in a statement today as places which men who do not en- list for the firing line may serve their country as effectually as they could at the front.
 Our people can not all be fighters, " the secretary said. We must have in addition to our armies of fighters, armies of producers.
 Two hundred and forty mil lion acres of unallotted public land in the Western States awaits the coming of the farmer and the herdsman. Millions of acres of fine farm lands in the Eastern States lie Idle through lack of men to work them. Forty two millions of our population stifie in crowded cities and con plain of the high cost of living.
 Any citizen of the United States who has not already lo- cated a homestead may apply for as many acres of straight farm ing land as he wants up to 160 acres in the restricted sections and up to 320 acres in the unre- claimed sections. Straight graz ing land may be held to the ex- tent of GAO acres.
 From Alabama to Alaska, land is waiting to be taken up. And with all these resources, we face an actual food famine.

Defence Committee
 Meet Friday

The meeting of the State Cen tral Committee on Agricultural Preparedness, set for Tuesday. May 1, yesterday was moved up to3 o'clock Friday afternoon, April P, because John H Page, commissioner of mines. manu factures and agriculture, and chairman of the committee, will be in Washington on May 1 at tending the conference of agri- cultural officials called by the Federal Trades Commission.
 MT. Page yesterday issued the call for the meeting Friday. and said that he wilt expect the com mittees appointed Saturday to make partial reports.
 This will be one of the busi- est committees in the state ser vice during the war;" Mr. Page said. and 1 expect it's work will be so valuable that some of the subcomm mittees will be continued indefinitely after the war. We're going to urge the establishment of municipal and community can hing and drying plants, to be op- erated on the same principal of the old toll grist mills.
 "A housewife or farmer who grows a surplus of vegetables or fruit will be able, in communities where these plants are operated to have the produce preserved without cost by giving the man agers of the plant part of the produce for canning the remain der. The managers of the plant can place their share with the To cal merchants, and in this way a demand for home produce can be built up"

New Building Going Up

MT. M. B. Moore of Little Rock has started the erection of brick store building on the corner one block east of the rice mill. The building will be one story high and will have a floor space of 36x115 feet. The floor will be of concrete and a nice showy front will be put in. The work is being done by Messrs c. H. Osborne and Ed Deeter. As soon as completed it will be oc- cupied by the Robertson Myers Hardware Company. A parti- tion will be put in and the rear end of the building will be used as garage.
 This building will be quite an improvement to that part of town and will no doubt have tendency to inspire others to put up substantial buildings on their pror erty in other parts of town. Let the good work go on.
