land are willing to cast their lot with some honest and capable farmer the state will attempt, upon request, to find good husbands for them. This is new departure in state effort and had it's inception in the offices of J.. w. Walden, superintendent of the state free employment bureau.
 A Maine county farmer recently wrote asking Walden to find him a wife "about 34 years old, farm broke and a good house keeper" He ex- pressed wish that Walden exercise all possible care in the selection and gave references and said he was will ing to have a thorough investigation made of himself and his record. Mir Walden found him wife in a wo- man seeking employment through the bureau and has since filled another order from a farmer near Saltwater, Oklahoma.
 "There is nothing irregular about this part of our work" says MT. Wal den. 'If a man asks this office to get some woman to marry him, he has got to be the kind of man who will stand an investigation of some years into the past. This applies al so to women in this connection.
 q regard this phase of the situ- ation legitimate and proper funct- ion for a free state employment office like this one"

ORGANIZING THRIFT ARMY.

Little Rock. March 1.-The public schools of Arkansas are planning to recruit an army of Junior Four-ninute Men who will be engaged in a sys- tematic thrift propaganda that will continue to bear fruits long after peace has come. A plan is being de- vised by the government, whereby all pupils above the fourth grade may en- gage in essay and speaking contests on the subject of thrift in connection with war savings and kindred topics. Certificates of merit are to be award- ed the winners, who will be enrolled as Junior Four Minute Men. The government has complimented Arkan- sas as cne of the few states approach ing the quota of one child in every four buying War Savings Stamps.
