A STRANGE ACCIDENT

Farmer Brown had made his usual
purchases of groceries when he re-
membered that his wife had request
ed that he get a couple OF pounds of
liver. Hurrying to the shop he bought
the liver and thrust it into a ca
pacious coat pocket Stepping into
his automobile he was soon speeding
toward home. But in crossing cul-
vert he collided with another auto
mobile and was thrown headlong,
being knocked senseless. After a
few moments he regained conscious
ness and with the assistance of the
occupant of the other car, who had
escaped unframed, managed to strug-
gle to his feet.
"Are you hurt much?" the stranger
anxiously inquired.

piled as he felt himself over, but I'll

The squad of recruits was particu.

more and more exasperated. One

BETTER FARMING HINTS

Store Your cottonseed Properly and
Avoid Losses
1t is common knowledge that cotton
seed will heat and deteriorate under
certain conditions causing consider
able loss not only to the oil man
but to the feeder of live stock Take
care of your cotton seed and store
it properly. Every farmer. ginner,
and oil man holding cotton seed at
this time can well afford to write to
the Arkansas Experiment Station for

seed during storage, written by ]. b.

Arkansas Hogs Exhibited at the
National Swine Show, Cedar
| Rapids, Iowa
| Madison county hogs fed by Prof.
H. Z. Dvorachek at the Arkansas
Experiment Station at Fayetteville,
were exhibited at the National Swine
Show at Cedar Rapids. Iowa, and
when sold topped the market at
$3.50 per hundred weight with an
verage run selling that day at $3.50.
| These high grade hogs were pro-
| duced by using high grade boars, and
| they were fed peanut meal as a
| proteid supplement. These animals
attracted the attention of the big
hog growers of the corn belt states
who are fast beginning to realize that
| Arkansas can raise feed and produce
pork as cheap as any state in the
| Union. Write to the Arkansas Ex
pertinent station for a circular de-
scribing the feeds used in fattening
| these hogs.
Keep Farm Accounts
With the rapid increase in the
price of materials and everything
needed to run farm, it is necessary
to keep records in order to find out
what is fair price to ask for pro-
ducts.
This is especially true if the farm
err is to figure his profits on a bust
| ness basis 1t is also always best to
keep farm records covering the ex-
pense of the family, as well as all
other expenditures The only way
| to plan ahead is to keep accurate ac-
counts. A. ID. McNair at the Exten-
| sion Office, old state house, Little
Rock, will be glad to furnish anyone
! in the state with records and give
them suggestions concerning methods
! of keeping these records. Mr.. Nc
Nair's services are free for the asking
| Government Will Furnish Plans for
Practical but Cheap Home
| Water System
! Every farm home ought to have a
good water system for the comfort
of the family and the convenience
| of the housewife in the kitchen. A
good system can be worked out with
| little expense by the home folks and
| the Extension Division of the Uni
versity of Arkansas at Fayetteville,
will furnish plans and suggestions
| for these systems. which are not
elaborate but practical and simple
and they will work.
Points in Storing Vegetables
| More vegetables will be put in sto-
| rage this winter in Arkansas than
ever before. Everyone should remem-
Der that for vegetables in healthy,
vigorous condition, correct storage
| must be provided. Constant tempera-
ture and normal amount of moisture,
correct ventilation, and protection
against frost are important con-
ditions to be secured Plant diseases
thrive best in foul air. Plans for
storag houses for the home or for
the commercial grower of vegetables
can be secured by writing to the
Extension Division of the University |
of Arkansas.

PATRIOTIC MoRENcI.

The record of Morenci, in regard to enlistments most effectua1ly spikes the usual stories that drift out re- garding mining communities. Moren. ci has furnished for the cause 232 men. and when it is considered that at the last general election there were but 800 votes cast by both men and women, the number of enlistments stands out as a remarkable figure.
 Much publicity has been given to unpatriotic acts in mining communi- ties. but nothing can be said deroga. tory to patriotism in Morenci.
 The fact that SO many men have left this community for service has been felt severely by the Phelps Dodge Corporation and the Arizona Copper Company, who are operating in that district, but in spite of this fact, production has been reasonably well sustained.

 ''The defendants claim that the un. patriotic language printed actually was uttered by the governor and their attorneys demur that the facts do not constitute a public offense. This language is said to have been in the presence of instructor Lawrence of the FIagstaff normal school, now in Chicago, where his deposition is to be taken, under stipulation.

55 REC[AsS|F|ED
 BY LOCAL BOARD
MANY ARE ITALIAN AND BRITISH SUBJECTS, SEVEN HELD FOR SPECIAL SERVICE, ONE WITH REMEDIAL DEFECTS.

The local exemption board has placed 55 deferred classifications of registrants into Class I by the recent reclassification which has been occu- pying the attention of the board for some time Many of these are Ital- ian and British subjects, who will be dealt with by their respective gov ernments. Seven of the men placed back in Class I are held for special service and one is found with reme- dial defects. A large per cent of the men now in Class I were placed in Class V at the first classification, while some are taken from the other deferred classifications.
 These men will be called into the service when they are required, and it seems that most will be called soon, as the military program calls for 300.- 900 men to be called to the colors dur ing the month of August.
 Following are the names and order numbers of the men reclassified up to this time, together with the number of the deferred classification from which their names were taken: Order No. old Glass 292 Pasquale Limorfatto ..........5 .5
