Special to the Independent.

Special to the Independent.
 Little Rock, Nov. 21.-The work of local boards is being rapidly wound LID. Local boards will forward no more cases to District Boards, and no more appeals will be taken to district boards. It is expected that since physical examination, induc- ton work, and classification by dis trict boards has ceased, the work of initial classification by local boards may be practically completed on or before November 30, except for late fegistrants. No late registrant shall be classified whose questionaire is re- ceiyed after December 9. Not later than December 10 the records of the local boards shall be sealed, subject to further orders of the governor or provost marshal general. The boards are under obligations to keep all their records intact and untouched.
 The proper and just administra- tion of the War Risk Insurance Act and of future pension laws will, in many cases, depend upon almost ex- c,usively upon data contained in these records. They will also have a direct and important bearing upon charges of desertion and delinquency involving the honor of thousands of registrants. Also, from these re- cords, much of the history of the war must be compiled, and from them must come information of the great est value as to man-power in case of any future war.

 J. E. Bates.

The annual session of the North Arkansas conference of the Methodist Church, South, closed Sunday evening at Clarksville, after Bishop Mouzon, the presiding minister, read the ap- pointments.- An unusual number of changes were made all over the con- terence. Rev. W. B. Hays, who has served the Newport church the time limit of four years, was Succeeded by Rev. J. F. E. Bates of Forrest City, who comes here next week. Rev. MT. Bates has been in the conference on- ly three years and has been at For rest City that time. He comes highly recommended as preacher and Christian gentleman and his report at the conference, so Mir. Hays said, was one of the very best. During the three years of his pastorate at For rest City, he built a handsome new church, paying it out, and almost doubled the membership. His wife is a graduate of the Scarritt Bible and Training School of Kansas City, and is splendid worker. They have four children. MT. Bates expects to come up the latter part of the week and fill his pulpit Sunday.
 Rev. MT. Hays and his estimable family leave in a few days for Hell ena, where they will make thel1 home, and where beautiful district parsonage is awaiting them. He was made presiding elder of the Helena district.
 Some of the pastorates in the con- ference will be filled by the following ministers who are well known here:

Only formal sessions and the concluding stages will be held at Versailles The only active settings new going on are those of the joint armistice commission meeting daily at Spa, former German headquarters. Some of the meetings at Spa have been animated over the effort of the Germans to obtain qualifications of the terms of armistice. Marshal Fochs reply was refusal to con slider any changes.

BETTER FARMING HINTS.

The loss due to nQn-housing of implements in Arkansas last year is estimated at $2,000,000. This could have been avoided by furnishing shelter from the weather and giving the machinery proper care. Imple- ments can be cared for by cleaning and bling all working parts of the machine, and by repainting the wood and metal parts. Remember that wood rots and metal rusts unless protected. Housing, paint, oil and grease are essential to the long life and efficiency of farm implements.
 Cotton stalks should be plowed un- der so that they will rot by spring, thus reducing the chances of infesta- tion by cotton anthraxnose or cotton boil rot. The spores of this disease, which costs Arkansas thousands of dollars every year, live over the win ter on old bolls, burs and stalks left in the field. Get rid of them. Read Farmers Bulletin Mo- 555, which can be secured by writing to the Exten- sion Division, the University of Ar kansas, Fayetteville.
 The bulletin concerning methods of home curing of meats which has gained popularity. throughout the world, has been revised by the author Major Lawrence Foote, and can be
 ed by writing to the Office of Markets, Southern Trust Bldg, Lit. tie Rock, Arkansas. This bulletin gives directions for preparing, ear ing for and cutting up hogs, and how to cure and smoke the products.
