this meeting all such discussions
were put aside and the entire time
was devoted to the discussion of more
and better ways Of assisting the gov
eminent.
Time was economical on to the last
degree and even during the lunch
and dinner hours speakers were con-
stantly addressing the assembled
! guests on the problems with which

conservation was one of the most dis

THE CALL OF THE PRIMARIES.
- r,,l,kh Ayouyo NH~ihy,~a ,.F' -

There are Republicans and those
who claim that political belief, who
are unable to distinguish between
personal ambition and patriotism.
They are so obsessed with the former
that it smothers the latter. They
fail to have the slightest conception
Of the fact that the first essential Of
patriotism is differentiation. ;
Consequently two Minneapolitans
have already, filed as Republican
candidates from the fifth district for
congress.
The journal says several others
are preparing to file. They all de-
clare themselves patriots only aching
to defeat the present ~discreditable
representative Of that district. But
il this was their purpose they would
not file. Instead they would put
their influence back of some mar

agreed upon by a Republican confer.

The call Of the primaries. in war
items at least, is not the call Of pa
triotism. 1t is but the call Of self
seeking. 1t may be, as frequently it
is, the deceiving voice of disloyal
propaganda. II candidates for once

There is a great dearth of cutters
at the Red Cross headquarters, and
women who have q little spare time
are asked to drop into headquarters,
and assist with this part of the work.
Unless there is a sufficient number of
garments prepared for sewing, the
work must naturally be retarded, and
recently there have been only two or
three women helping. afternoons. and
some times but n cutter is on duty.
The chairman Of the committee is
appealing for help. and she expects
that several women will come to the
rescue, and speed up the work in this

0NE QUARTER MILLION
 DOLLARS FOR BETTER FARMING CONDITIONS
Newspapers Have Made it Possible For Arkansas to Adopt improved Farming Methods, Says Riley.
Special to The Graphic.

Special to The Graphic.
 Hot Springs, Dec. 1S.-A quarter of a million dollars is the ArNansas news
 paper mems contribution for better
 agriculture, and during the past year, according to E. c. Riley of the Uni versity of Arkansas, who in speaking to the county agents, at their annual meeting said, Arkansas newspaper men have enabled our state to secure one of the largest extension forces in the south by showing the people the value of the county and the home demonstration work. They have pub
 lished 6,703 columns of agricultural information and thousands of columns of agricultural news during the past year. This has given great impetus to our agricultural growth and com
 munity and state progress. Two hun
 dred and fifty thousand dollars is
 very conservative estimate of the
 value of the space used.
 The people of the state should re-
 member that space i'll the newspaper
 mans only commodity for sale and
 every inch of paper costs him real
 money. Business men. bankers and
 farmers must more fully appreciate what the newspapers are doing and
 the value of their aid in working for
 a greater Arkansas"
 J. A. Mcleod leader ill live stock ex- tension said, Arkansas must have sire clubs in each community and pure
 bred sires everywhere, to grade up the livestock of the state. Plenty of food feed must be produced and farmers will find high grade feeders profitable when sold to Northern grain produc- CTS"
 w. J. Jernigan, state leader of boys
 and girls club work reported that there were forty thousand agricultural club members in the state Fifteen i thousand are ill the various boys clubs ten thousand in the girls clubs work
 under the supervision of the home demonstration agents who have also enrolled five thousand in the womens
 clubs and ten thousand in the emel-
 gency clubs.
 P. s. Stout, H. K Lansden, Dr. J. A. Elliott, J. R. Cooper and Ralph Mason of the college of agriculture and Uni- versity Extension Division, Miss Madge Reese, Harry Potter and o. B. Martin of the United States Depart

PROMOTIONS Of US, ARMY
 ELIMINATED
Must Rise Through Inactive List or Officers Reserve Corps, Says Baker.

Washington, Dec. 18.-Secretary Baker said today that the war depart ment is pursuing fixed policy in denying all promotions to officers who are on active service. The blanket or der of November 11th cutting off pro- motions both in the home forces and overseas, he indicated will not be modified, and the only way in which for promotion can attain the advanced rank is through the inactive list of the officers reserve corps.
 MT. Baker says the department was proceeding on the theory that with demobiliZation, a great many captains. majors and officers of higher rank would be left unassigned. It is regard ed as wholly unnecessary from the point of view, of the department, in- dicated that any additional officers of higher grade be created as the avail able supply of officers in any grade will more than meet all demands.
 These is no desire, however. to cut deserving men off from the honor that goes with promotion, he said, and off, cers who were recommended for ad- vancement before hostilities closed will be taken care of as they enter the reserve corps on discharge from their present commissions.
 Each will be placed on the inactive list of the reserve in the advanced grade to which he had been recom- mended
 Officers who intend to go into the reserve are fully protected in this way, so far as promotions go, it was said. No provisions has been made: how ever. for those who do not enter the reserve on discharge, but MT. Baker said he saw no reason why they could not accept their advanced rank in the reserve and then resign from the re- serve corps.
 The one point upon which the Secre- tary indicated that his decision was final, was that no promotion will be made of men on active duty ana tnls applies to regular officers holding in- creased rank in the war army as we'll as those who came from civil life.
