WHEN THE BOYS COME HOME

The Boys will be coming home soon. The 87th and 39th Divisions, in which most of the Arkansas boys are en- listed are among the first that are to return from France. Unfortun- ately, some of them have been dis abled, and they will find it difficult if not impossible to resume their for mer vacations.
 To aid in the rehabilitation of our soldiers is the purpose of the Far ners' Give-A- -Bushel War Fund, an
 kansas movement, which is being
 d up this week. The plan con
 TpTates that every farmer and meElber of his family, give bushel of his most abundant crop, and that those who live in the cities and towns give the value thereof.
 November 19 to December 1st is the date for the final drive to close up the campaign, and Saturday, Novem- Der 30, has been set apart as Give-A- IoUSIlci4 lJdy IiiiOuSiiodo DSsSSi when all pledges are to be redeemed.
 The movement has the support of the State Council of Defense through it's sounty and community organiza- tons, and members or representatives of the council have been making a tour of the state conferring with the chairman and others and urging them to get behind the movement, see that everybody is solicited and the pledges redeemed by next Saturday.
 Some very fine reports have been mad by the members, one of the best s being made by Chairman Lloyd Eng land for Columbia county. There is now about $7,0O0 in the bank in that county, and the chairman is confident they will be able to raise their quota, as the county is thoroughly organized through the school districts. He also visited Miller county, and the work CTS assured him that they would SC cure their quota of 12,600 bushels Lafayette county is also well organ ized. Other sections of the state make good reports but few of them have done very little.
Newport daily independent., 1918-11-26

This is one of the necessary agen- ices, approved by President Wilson. It must be continued until the boys get home and all of them are replaced in their various employments.
 John s. Cravens, of the National Council in a message to General Eng land regarding the relation of the Give-A- -Bushel movement to the work of the Federal Vocational Board for the restraining and replacing of disabled soldiers and sailors, says: "We shall suggest to the Federal Board the desirability of immediately sending a representative to Arkansas to confer with you and the trustees of the fund. Federal Board is charged by Congress with tasks of vocational rehabilitation. The opportunity ex- ists, however, for broadening and fa- cilitating services to disabled men if aided by outside funds"
 The Board of Trustees will hold an important meeting Tuesday this week. In the meantime, all war work organ izations are urged to get behind the drive that is under way.

Franklin Reanl of New York are in charge of the re- cruiting campaign.
