Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, April 15.-One of the greatest problems confronting the State Council of Defense and the County Councils is that of overcom- ing disloyalty and sedition. The council is asking cities and towns to enact a model ordinance, already passed by the Little Rock Council, providing heavy penalties for of lenses against the government, the flag, and the army and navy. It is believed this will provide means for reaching some offenders that could not De reached otherwise.
 Disloyalty Must Be Stamped Out, is the demand of the Council.

WRITES FROM GREAT LAKES.

The following interesting letter was written by Omer Hamilton, who is sailor stationed at Great Lakes, H., to his sister, Miss Muriel Hamil- ton, of Beedeville:
 Great Lakes, H., Jan. II, IS. Dear Folks:
 Just got back from dinner. We lad good dinner. Had creamed potatoes, pumpkin, bowl of soup, piece of meat, bread and butter and coffee We always have an apple or banana with some other junk for breakfast. We always get variety. Sometimes for breakfast we get beans, bread and butter, coffee, and an apple or a banana. I can eat them all right, but some of the boys can't so they just do without. There are some who are always complaining about not getting enough to eat, but looks like they would learn that it doesn't do any good
 Most of the boys are getting pretty well broken in The worst was right on the start. It was so different from the way we had been doing. When I washed the first time, I just thought I'd rather be dead. To think of washing ones clothes in little old bucket and with cold water. If I could have had a tub and wash board I would not have minded, be- cause I had nothing else to do. We have been having hot water lately.
 Then it seemed unfair to me for the officers to S'raise cain" with us for things we couldn't help. Every man has to have his shoes shined, but they had never supplied us with the polish. Two or three fellows had some and they passed it around. If they hadn't we would have gotten a ''tongue-la flashing" Sometimes some of the boys say something about it, and some one will say, "You're in the navy now," and start big laugh, so the man that can laugh the most gets along the best. If you could hide in the house and listen, you would think it was crowd of men out on a pie nic. They are just like bunch of young mules. We have a dance nearly every night and just have a big time. Had dancing match the other night, and my partner and l came out second best.
 We have our hammocks now, and tfey are just so warm and comfort able. When they are pulled up tight they close in over one and I get too warm before they let the windows down at o'clock. Believe me, they are something to get into, and it's pretty hard job to stay in. They are lashed up to iron rods, which are just high enough so a man can walk under them If a man tilts them a little too much they topple over, and his body is so much heavier than his feet that it tumbles out first, and as he hasn't thing to catch hold of, and can't get his feet out, his head is the first thing that strikes, and there is nothing to fall on but the floor. Three or four of the boys have been knocked unconscious for a while fell out the other night but there is brace-rod by every fifth hammock and I grabbed the brace-rod and sav- ed myself from falling.
 We were here three weeks before we got our hammocks, thu it was an- other week before we could get the ropes to lash them up with, and three days more before we could get rope to tie around them. In the morning when we get up we have to fold the blankets a certain way, roll the ham mock up and take a rope and tie sev- Il.

HORSES INCREASING
Dobbin More Economical for Plow-
ing Than Power Farming

We are particularly sorry for the
individual who honestly fears that
the horse will soon be a curiosity
shown only in circus menagcries
with a speiler to tell of the exploits
of that once-useful animal. He may
be compared with the individual who
felt sure that the monograph would
eliminate the pianist, violinist, and
the many bands and orchestras, but
as yet this has not occurred, neither
has the horse been relegated to the
scrap heap.
Perhaps power machinery has re-
placed horses in some places, but
even if it has there are more horses
in the United States today than there
ever were before and the price of
them surely indicates that they are
as necessary and useful as ever.
Tractor men claim that they can
pillow cheaper with a tractor than
with horses. Possibly they can, with
a new tractor, for the first year or
two, when they figure only gas and
oil, but over a long period of time
tractor power is very expensive in
the way of repairs and new pur-
chases which must be made every few
years. Horses, once secured, keep
up the power plant by a natural in
crease. Tractors decrease in value
from the day they are bought.
Horses, by natural multiplication, in
crease in value as the years go by.

SUGAR AVAILABLE FOR
CANNING AND PRESERVING
Food Administration Raises Ban on
Sugar for Canning but Keeps
Close Tab on Buyers

The housewife who has entertained
visions of a shortage of sugar during
the summer months, thus curtailing
her canning and preserving program
to a marked extent, breathed sigh
of relief this week when announce
ment was made that new provisions
by the food administration will make
il possible for them to purchase
sugar in so and 100 pound lots for
those purposes
The new ruling became eff
fecti,e May ., and yides that be
fore she can secure sugar in greater
quantities than under the old pro
visions, she must make affidavit to
for canning and preserving and no
other purpose, also that her purchase
represents her own specific needs
and that none of the sugar will be
given or sold to her neighbors or
friends. The stores are required to
keep careful record of all sales
under the new provisions.
The food administration desires
that all housewives can or preserve
fruits and vegetables in sufficient
quantities to meet their own needs
during the winter, calling attention
to the fact that the government de-
mands 90 per cent of the output OF
all canneries and manufactures OF
certain other food stuffs, and that
there is a possibility of a shortage
of the commodities from commercial
sources. 1t is to promote the canning
and preserving of fruits and yege-
tables that the sugar limit has been
raised by the food administration.

BEAR CATS" VS..
CURLY WOLVES"
r. f. Sanger and Lee Allen Will
Lead Opposing Forces in Chamber
of Commerce Baseball Game
Friday, May 81

f. E. Sanger's Bear Cats" and
Lee Aliens Curly Wolves" will en-
gage in mortal combat on Rogers
field Friday afternoon, May "a, at
500 o'clock. the attraction being the
| first tand maybe the LAST of the an
nual series of baseball games be.
| tween the members of the chamber
OF commerce. Each of the opposing
captains will assemble bunch of
ball tossers that will make the big
league teams look like bush aggrega-
lions and the bad blood that has ex-
listed between the two moguls for
nany months will find expression in
the awful conflict that is promised
the sport hungry fans who will
throng the sidelines.
The game will be called at 500
o'clock to permit all business men,
clerks and other busy persons to at
tend, and two hours or more of in
tense excitement is guaranteed. In
order that a square deal may be as
sured, an umpire will be imported
from some outside point, the only
stipulation being that he is absolute
ly honest. this point serving to quiet
effectively the demand of Captain
Allen that he be not an attorney and
the counter demand of Captain Sau-
ger that he be other than a hardware
dealer. The stipulation reduces the
field of possibilities to the ranks Of
the newspaper men.
With the date settled and the
forces arrayed for the great conflict
the chamber ball tossers are digging
out their old uniforms and gloves and
getting ready for the fray with de-
termination that bespeaks a conflict
of more than ordinary proportions.
Doc" Rounds will wear the same
red stockings that brought him into
prominence last year, and Else
Thorpe has promised to get up a
speed of at least 30 knots per hour
in running bases "Cack' Barnard
has signed a contract not to say
word during the entire contest, his
opponents having accused him of an
due Grabbing" during last years
contest. F. c. Forrest, c. A. Isaacs,
and numerous other baseball lumin-
aries will appear before the vast
throngs in baseball toys and help
give the fans their moneys worth.
The proceeds Of the game will go
toward paying the deficit on the
swimming pool. After the game the
ladies of the Fortnightly and Ingle-
side clubs will put on a big feed in
Tanglewood for the benefit of the
local Red Cross
