Washington, d. G., July 27.-Steel
for commercial use is scarce and l.
going to be scarcer, as the stupendous
war program develops. And there will
be no real prospect Of change until
the man-and muscle problem Is
worked out. ,..e
To what extent the human element
figures in the serious situation is
made clear by the war industries
board, whose energies are bent to-
ward keeping up with the ever-grow-
ing demands of the military budget,
at the same time saving the ordinary
consumers Of steel from a sacrifice
that would approach hardship.
On every side is evidence OF gen
uine and helpful cooperation. Steel
manufacturers are speeding up pro-
duction, and the varied industries,
whose use of steel is in peaceful times
enormous, are submitting to sharp re-
auctions in their requirements with
understanding.
But there must be prompt stimula'
ton in the man-pOWer.
1T goes right back to the personal
equation" says Frank Purnell, assist
ant to Steel Chief Replogle of the war
industries organization. THE manu-
faceure of steel requires pig iron, and
that means coke, and to get coke we
must have miners -..
".Steel mills can work harder than
they are now, but they must have
the raw material. Empty cars are
waiting to be loaded at the mines
RAILWAY FACILITIES ARE WAY
AHEAD OF NINE PRODUCTION"
The requirements OF the govern
ment cannot be definitely stated. One
estimate, which is probably as correct
q sany other, is that between now and
the end Of the year, the government
will take 100000 tons Of steel. II
anything like that is true, then the
supply left for commercial users will
be small indeed.
Manufacturers of essentials" which
while not strictly for war purposes
contribute vitality to the maintenance
Of the national activities, are not
suffering; nor will there be any Grip
ping reductions.
Standardization.
Standardization is meeting the prob
lem OF both the "essentiol" and the
more important "ono-essential" urers.
For instance, by standardizing the
parts used in agricultural implements,

ARKANSAS WINTER
 WHEAT QUOTA

Arkansas must raise more wheat next year. The government pro- duction of 667 100000 bushels more in 1919, and if this is reached, Ar kansas must increase it's acreage this fall by about 10 per cent.
 This can be done readily if each farmer will see that sufficient wheat is grown on his own place to meet his own needs. The farmers who wrow their own wheat will be al- lowed special privileges in it's use
 Arkansas has been allotted 317 900 acres of winter wheat and it's is high ly important that Arkansas should reach it's full quota.
 It is urged that farmers consult their county agents and that there be the fullest cooperation among the farmers themselves in the purchase and use of the necessary machinery.
 The county agent will assist in To- eating seed,in developing cooperation in the purchase of machinery, and in marketing the crOp next year,

TURNER WILL REBUILD THE EXCELSlON PLANT
 AT ONCE.

After considering and meditating over my loss, which was caused by fire on July the End, my entire Excel sion Factory was destroyed. At that time 1 had for shipment OH that day three hundred and seventy five bales of Excelsior, which were also burn ed, therefore had to sweat and guess what would be my next move. So l thought as Uncle Sam did not want so young man as 1 in his makeup across the waters, l was de- termined to stay in old Pine Bluff and do a little more whittling or shaw ing in order to produce something which the poor, as well as the rich, may lay their weary bones down to rest. From the outlook, we may all have to come to this kind of bed, as inter cotton is a thing of the past. Uncle Sam has told us to stop us- ing same, as it actually took this grade Of cotton to put the Germans on the run, and so mote' i+ be. So those old, worn out cotton mattresses remember is money saved. I can ever were, thus saving you a good many dollars. My mattress factory was also damaged by fire, but have it repaired and we are prepared to serve you now at any time on this class of renovating. Call us over Phone S96, and we will call and show samples of tickings and make prices. Thanking my many patrons for their past favors,
 Very truly.

 The seniors this year in the var ious schools are aware of the country's situation. They indeed are sober class and if need be will leave the school rooms for the ser- vice of their country without mo- ment's hesitation.
 It is not that these sedate youths will be called into service. But the government desires that each one take special training that will fit him for service should the call come. Schooling this year will be far diff fercnt from the routine of other years for the older males. Even the high school boys are included in the preparedness program.
 The younger generation those from ten to sixteen years of age have the spirit. School days now have a different meaning for practically every one. Much is to be accomp- lished along new and different lines of that endeavor, Males and females in school now are all work ing tc the one common end, the quick and successful victory of the United States and it's allies.

C0I]NTY COUNCILS OF DEFENSE IN ALL THE
 COUNTIES ARKANSAS
Practically Entire State Is Now Organized and Oth-
 CTS Coming In.''

Little Rock, Sept. 16-The State Council of Defense has issued an i'm portant bulletin in pamphlet form on the organization of County Coun- Cils of Defense. Practically the whole state has been organized, and many of the counties have carried their work into the ultimate unit of the community, whereby every man and woman in the country becomes definitely related to the winning of the war.
 There is an active chairman in each county of the state, and the bulletin is designed to guide them in their work of organization. All chair men and members are urged to read it carefully. Unfortunately the work of the County Council has not been as thoroughly understood as some of the other war activities, and it is to answer all questions about their purpose and jurisdiction, and to de- fine clearly their work and problems that this bulletin has been issued.
 Each County Council is expected to continue to meet the economic, agri- cultural industrial and social emerg- encies of it's own county, as weli as carry out the plans of the National and State Councils. .-
 The County Council is in peculiar sense the guardian of the patriotism and civilian morale of it's county. The ereat elovet'nment projedt ,iof economy and thrift depends upon the hearty cooperation of the County Councils, and it should extend it's work so that non-essential business may release men and resources for war work

WOMEN ARE NOW
 DOING ALL WORK
 Of SOLDIER MALE
Responding to Appeal of Employers to Take Place
 of Men In Army.

Washington, Sept. 16.-Womcn by the thousands are responding to the appeal of employers to take the place of men entering the army and to fill new positions created by indus tri expansion, according to the month ly business review of the Federal Reserve Board. Indications are that in few more months the number of women entering industry will De greater than the number of men With drawn for military service.
 The review as made public today shows that women are spending more of their earnings for clothing. Retail dealers in all cities where many women have left homes to work report booming business. This is contray to the policies of economy urged by all government agencies as war measure.
 {, Owing to recent government su- pervision of employment agents, in dustr;es now report much more stable labor conditions. but con- tinued excess of demand for workers.
 Eastern federal reserve banks re- nort that tendency ns apparent among manufacturers and distrib- uters to await full assurance of gov ernment price regulations before de- tcrmining trade policies. Industries generally are active and the less es- sential enterprises are rapidly being furtailed or converted into essential production. Wholesalers are now be- ginning to market materials for sale next spring at higher prices, and re- tailers show some uncertainty as to how higher prices would be taken by the public for clothing and other articles. This causes some hesita- ton in certain lines.

 The peace terms when discussed will be "open and above board" and the terms proposed by Austria "do not listen well" from this end of the cable line.
 Do prerequisites for peace exist? Austria Hungary assert that they do. We admit that the prerequisites exist but most of the said prere- quisites will certainly come from Germany when the 'honest to good ness peace barley is held.
