War Gardens a Necessity If the South
 Is to Be Fed

Home gardens are being urged as one of the most important fea lures of the Third Arkansas Pro ftable Farming Campaign which now is in progress. The object of this campaign is to induce the farmers to raise more food and feed stuff This is absolutely necessary for two reasons; first, the United States must export large quantities of food to her al lies in Europe; second, the na- tion' s transportation system is so tied up by the demands of war that if the South does not feed herself, there is danger that she will not be fed. When the railroads are needed to carry on war activities, it is not to be ex' pected that the government will allow them to be used to trans port to the South food which she could have raised herself.
 It is not alone the farmers that are asked to raise more food. Dwellers in cities and towns are asked to have gardens in order that they may produce a part of their own food. and thus relieve the strain on the farmer upon whom there rests so heavy a bur. den at the present time.
 At hrst thought, it might seem that a home garden has a very remote connection with winning the war but not when you con. si1er the matter carefully. There is no other area on the whole farm that is so valuable as the space given to raising home vegetables for home use and half acre garden, whether on the farm or the city back lot if well planned and cared for this year will contribute at least S20C % to the living"

 The following were elected al- dermen to serve during the en suing year; E. A. Callahan, H. L. Urton, H L Buechley, w. $ Sncw. J. l. Woosley.
 There were 75 votes cast which shows a decided increase over the votes boiled at the election last year, when practically no interest was taken.
 The Independent hopes to see the new elected officers get in the harness and make the town grow and hopes they will be liberal enough in their administration to induce residents to come among us and assist in building up and making Carlisle the best town between Little Rock and Memphis It is already being talked of along that line and we hope nothing will be done to change that impression.
