Practically AH Of
 Class / Exhausted

Arkansas is joining the armed camp of the world A few years ago, a prediction that there would be so many Arkansas men wearing the military and naval uniforms of the government would have been ridi- culed as visionary. But at that time, the possibility of world war was so remote that it dwelt only in the mind of imaginary writers of fiction, and the war-mad brain of the Madman of Potsdam.
 But now it is accomplished. There are no figures available showing the actual number of Arkansas men un- der arms in all branches of the ser vice, since many have enlisted out side the state, but it is a safe esti- mate that not less than 50,000 of the men of Arkansas will be under arms by the last of July.
 Practically all of Class 1, it is pre- dicted, will be exhausted in filling calls already issued for the month of July. This means that many farm CTS who have not completed the cul- tivation of their crops will be sent to camp. It is important, however, to the agricultural interests of the state, that camp commanders have author ity to grant short farm furloughs to such men as may be actually needed to lay by the crops. n is suggested by Adjutant- General Lloyd England that claims for such furloughs should be endorsed by the county farm dem onstration agent, "when the claim is found to be meritorious, in language sufficiently emphatic to insure fav- orable action thereon by camp com manders."
 Beginning today, the local boards will reclassify their reistrants in ac- cordance with the "work or fight" regulations and this should make available through local boards and government employment agencies an abundance of farm labor.
 General England and other militia Try authorities are desirous of aiding as much as possible in the farm pro- duction as essential to winAthe war. Gen. England says, Boards are re- quested to act as he intermediary between the registrant whose reclas- sification is pending and the planter needing help, and thereby cause much shortage of farm labor to be re- lieved.7

RED CROSS MEET
 HERE WE EDNEsDAY
Miss Monroe, Field Worker For Or ing Meeting At Walnut Street
 School House.

At the school house Wednesday morning the Home Service committee of the Red Cross, and some others in terested in this kind of work, met Miss Monroe, a field worker of the American Red Cross, who is field secretary of the Home Service divis- ion in the southwest and helping these forces to get organized for all kinds of local relief.
 The outline of work to be under taken in Home Service as given by Miss Monroe was too extensive to be quoted here, but she uurged the com mittee to get in touch with drafted men in order that a full understand ing be had with them and that proper aid might be given their families or those dependent upon them before the soldier enters active service. She stated that the government does not answer personal letters, and that the inquiries about allotments, insurance and so on should be made to the To- Ical Home Service, and that they should be prepared to give full infor- nation in regard to the Civil Rights bill or whatever questions might arise in the experience of a soldier or his family.
 Mir. John W. Stayton is the secre- tary of the local Home Service and will give any help he can to our peo- pie who need such assistance if they will call upon him.
 Miss Monroe gave the committee these suggestions which should have wide publicity:
 That wives and families of soldiers avoid cantonment towns, but if a visit is necessary, they should make such visit short.
 That people who are not self-sup- porting avoid changes, and that each town through it's Home Service de- partment, take care of any depend- ent population, and help them to qualify for some useful employment.
 That the colored population, espec- ially those receiving allotments from the government, be urged to work, as this is absolutely necessary if the war is won.
 That all information secured in this department as to families needing help, be kept entirely confidential and that full sympathy and confidence be established between Home Service workers and those whom they would serve.
 Miss Monroe is very capable worker, with broad vision and a full understanding of this work, and made favorable impression upon those who listened to her.

 A|RPLANE THRILL
Flyers Pass This Way Twice Thurs day En Route to JOnesb0rO and
 Return to LOnOke

The war, and an implement with which it will be more quickly won, was brought closer to Newport Tues day morning and afternoon when an airplane passed over the city. The machine contained Lieutenant Keene and Mechanic Burke of Eberts Field, Lonoke, who flew over Newport Thursday morning at o'clock en route to Jonesboro and came back about 7 o'clock in the afternoon, re- turning to Lonoke. The birdmen spent the day at Jonesboro assisting in patriotic celebration. They fol- lowed the Missouri Pacific tracks from Little Rock to Hoxie, and thence to Jonesboro by the direction of the Frisco tracks. The trip one way rep resented distance of more than 150 miles, and it is presumed the flyers made the flight without stop.
 The plane did not slacken it's speed either time while passing over Newport and made a direct flight over the center of the city, at a height probably of 2,500 feet, or about one-half mile.
 In several towns of the state. land ing places for airplanes have been established, and there's no reason why Newport should not afford one,

The Economy of Victory

No matter what this war costs the Government and the people of the United States in the way of money, it is going to be much cheaper to win this war than to lose it.
 The commercial and financial losses that would follow a Ger. man victory are not to be calcu lated. All that we spent would be lost, indemnities beyond cal culation would have to be paid, and along with these losses would come a continuing loss in foreign commerce that would spell disaster.
 With these material losses we would lose our national liberty and independence. our power to secure our international right to live in world ruled hy the 6ic- tates of humanity and civilization.

all placed in egg cartons and stored in the same room with the water glass and lime water and salt.
 After six months, the eggs were tested by the Home Eco monies Department for their cooking qualities, with the fol. lowing results:
 Eggs preserved iu water glass were found to resemble fresh eggs more nearly than did any of the others. They were suitable for cooking, making custards and cakes. However, they were not good poached. Those in lime water were next in quality. None of the others were as satisfac- tory as the water glass and lime water.
 There was no difference in the keeping qualities of fertile and infertile eggs, nor in the color of the shell. However, this only holds good when eggs are pre- served the same day they are laid; otherwise. infer:ile eggs are more suitable for preserving.
 A bulletin will be published in the near future giving the re suits of this experiment in detail.
