Tried and Tested by Citizenship of Lonoke
 County. He Is Elected Again and Again

tor followed the usual lines of eft cheney, and as his time began to ex- pire in this office he became candi- date for Circuit Clerk, which posi- tion was easily won
 The career of MT. Swain is one that teaches the value of close appii- cation to business, and his reputation is that of man who gives his best efforts and accommodation to the pub lie after election, and is the same kind of a fellow at all times, regard less of whether an election is near or not.
 In Lonoke County Mr Swain sees one of the greatest opportunities In the country for aggressive and up-t0- date farmers, willing to work hard for big returns. He has during the past few years seen miracles taking place on these prairies, the big grass lands being transformed into wheat, rice, cotton, corn and dairy farms, while farmers, recognizing their op- portunities, have become prosperous and successful in acquiring their DOT tion of this worlds goods

One Of the most important institu- tions of Lonoke is the big rice mill operated by the Lonoke Rice Products Co.,, which occupies with it's main building and equipment consisting of railroad sidings and accessory sheds, a fine site on the Rock Island railroad embracing 10 or 12 acres of land. Lonoke business men are firm in their praise of this industry, which they declare has added much to the pros frity of their thriving little city, while it has been veritable gold mine discoverer to the farmers ad jacent to the town, as through mar keting their rice at the mill, they have found they could produce one of the most profitable crops grown in the United States
 The Lonoke Rice Products Co. oper ates a mill with capacity of 2,000 bags every 24 hours, and during the past year, the farmers marketing their rice with that company received approximately one million dollars in cash for their products. Thirty men comprise the force employed at the mill, and while the plant is not in ac tive operation except during the sea son, they have steady employment the year round.
 The products of the rice mill are Arkansas fancy rice and all it's by products and shipments are made by the company to all parts of the Unit ed States, from Canada to Mexico and from coast to coast.
 The Lonoke Rice Products Go. is now better prepared than ever to handle the increasing rice produc- ton of the county and especially of that section immediately adjacent to the city.

This fact was attested to by his election as Circuit

THE ART OF COOKING RICE

Southerners, who use more rice than ether people of the United States have many good methods of cooking it.
 To Boil Rice Southern Style.-Have a quart of water boiling rapidly. Add g level teaspoon of salt. Wash a cup of rice carefully and add it a little at at time, slowly, so that the boiling does not stop. Boil for about twenty or until a grain taken be- tween the finger and the thumb is soft. Drain through colander and pour a little hot water through the rice to separate the grains. Cover with a cloth and set in a warm place on the stove for about 10 minutes to allow the grains to swell, or place it in the upper part of double boiler over hot water, cover and allow to steam. If you cook rice in this way tine water in which the rice is cooked should be saved as much starchy ma tcrial is left in it. Use 1t for thick en;ng soups. One cup of raw rice makes four cups of boiled rice.
 Other Ways to Cook Rice Some people prefer to cook rice in a double boiler so that none of the food ma eeIiai is lost. If you cook rice in
The Carlisle independent., 1918-07-25

this way use only 2 1-2 or 3 cups of water to one cup of rice. Have the water boiling in the upper part of the double boiler add a teaspoon of salt and a cup of well-washed rice, Cover and allow to cook over water until the grains are soft. When rice is cooked in this way, the product is more moist than when cooked Southern style, so when used in seal loped dishes or in breads less liquid is required.
 Rice Cooked in Milk-If you have plenty of skim milk, try this way: Use four or four and half cups of milk to one of rice Add the rice to the hot salted milk and cook until the milk is absorbed and the grains are soft The milk greatly increases .he food value of the dish.
 Rice prepared in any of these ways may be used for making many dishes

ton and operation, furnishing the farmers with a market right at their doors, where the best prices could be obtained for their products without the intervention of the middle man, they have encouraged the production of that money crop to such an extent that the prairies are dotted with large rice plantations, while gigantic pumps lift immense volumes of water to the surface, supplying the neces- sary life giving moisture to insure the proper maturition of the crop

Lonoke, expressed himself as highly pleased at the outlook for this years crop, and as being gratifed at finding g the Lonoke mill in such fine shape and will have the necessary repairs and improvements made to handle it's part of the great food crop, which will be marketed in this section. He thinks that the rice industry has not yet reached anything like it's zenith in this section and expects to sec many more thousands of Lonoke County acres converted to the growing of rice within the next few years

The county auditor has been re-
quested by the State Department Of

President Wilson is going to in
sist that the Allies make good their
acceptance of his fourteen points as a
basis of peace. The President plans
to make it plain to Premiers Glenn
enceau, Lloyd George and Orlando in a
most friendly manner that the United
States does not want anything for it
self, nor can it be party to peace
of oppression or sectionalism which
will inevitably result in future wars.
The President is most insistent upon
the formation of league of nations
as one of the premilinary steps to
peace. Gradual disarmament on land
and sea would automatically follow the
formation of such league.
The President is perfectly willing
that naval strength be apportloned
from a geographical standpoint, but
insists that such apportionment must
preclude any group of nations continu-
ing stronger than the league itself.
The President approaches the Brit
ish viewpoint in a most conciliatory
manner, explaining frankly that Amer
lean public opinion plainly insists that
should a naval agreement not be made,
there is nothing remaining for the
United States but to build the greatest
navy. for which yards, constructors
and money are now available. He OPP
poses stripping the Central Powers
for an indemnity which might compel
them TO repudiate part of the details

SOUTHER FIELD

The personnel of the aviation sup
ply depot at Souther Field, under
command of Major Schotield, was in
creased by 80 officers and men last
night, with the arrival of two squad
rons from Chanute Flying Field, at
Rantoul, Ill. Chanute Field has just
been closed for the winter.
The new arrivals give Major Scho-
field command more than four times
as great as he has had for some time,
only about 85 men being connected
with the depot recently. There never
have heretofore been more than onc
squadron at any time since the estab-
lishment of the camp.
Major Schofeld, while reluctant to
discuss the purpose of the increase in
the force at the depot, stated that the
work had been much too heavy for
some time, and he had asked for ad-
ditiolal men, He admitted, in reply
to questions, that the transfer of the
men appeared to be another good indi-
cation of the permanence of Souther
Field 1t is understood large
amount of aviation equipment has
been concentrated at the supply depot
here since the signing of the armis-
tice and the stoppage of shipment OF
airplanes and supplies overseas. More
is constantly arriving, necessitating
large number of men to handle it.
The two squadrons which arrived
are composed of $50 enlisted men, 2
hospital corps men, two air service
ficers and one medical officer each.

SCHOOLS NOT TO CLOSE,
SAYS BOARD PRESIDENT

"The trouble is not in the schools.
and so far as know the schools of
Americus will not be closed" said
DR.. Lansing Burrows, president Of the
board of education, this Afternoon in
answer to query as to whether the
schools of the city would be closed
until after Christmas, as has been
suggested in some circles.
I'VE have a duty to perform, es-
pecially in the high school, and con-
ditions are not dangerous to the
health in the schools. The criticism
of the present condition seems to be
largely in the decreased attendance.
This is matter that is largely up to
the parents. If children remain out
of school at the slightest excuse, it is
not the fault of the board. If there
is danger of infection in the city it is
not in the schools"
