that this record does not reveal an unusual storage of flour in Arkansas, as most Arkansans buy flour in bar rels and in the past have used much larger quantities than they do now. Especially, he says, farmers in the past have provided, when buying flour, an annual stock. MT. Hoover and others interested in the worlds food supply have warmly congratu- lated Arkansas on this achievement"
 Here are the facts. Mayor Simon Bloom and J. F. Mcintyre evolved the scheme of turning all the flour in Jefferscn county back to the govern ment for shipping abroad. Food A.
 ministrator M C. Hollis o. K.'d cne plan and immediately began working out the details. Several days later he met Allen Kennedy in Little Rock I' outlined the plan to Kennedy. Jeffe:- son county turned back to the gov ernment 9,228 barrels of fluur, valued
 at $l04,000, Cne-fourth of the total amount turned back by the whole state. Jefferson county went on to- tally wheatless ration voluntarily. Not grain of white flour could be purchased in the county except by the sick or persons living outside the county. Other counties followed the plan to degree but none put them selves on totally wheatless rations They turned back their surplus and were always on the six-pound per capita basis. The least Allen Kennedy could do is to write the facts the Post-Dispatch and the Post-Dispatch should give the credit where it is due. No other county of community in the United States reached the mark set by Jefferson county.

SEARCH FOR NEW
 COAL SUPPLIES

Philadelphia, July 29.-As coal ex- perts predict that anthracite coal is going to be scarce this winter, all of the inventive genius in the anthra- cite industry has been hunting for new sources of supply. Operators are working abandoned mines, installing new devices and putting in electric power.
 The bardier pillar between the New Boston and Mill Creek collieries. con- taining 5OO,0OO tons of anthracite. is to be mined. Bancroft mountain south of Ashland. is to be stripped of it's surface coal veins for stretch of two miles, Fifty years ago this mine. was supposedly worked out. abandoned and then flooded with water.
 With dwindling force of 144,000 men in the anthracite mines and the prospect of this number being still further depleted by the July draft. the industry is fighting harder than ever before, if possible, to maintain maximum output close to 275,OOO tons of anthracite day.

CANTEEN SERVICE WANTS
 VOLUNTEERS

Everybody in Pine Bluff knows what a great work the Red Cross Can teen Service is doing. Not a weN passes without the mayor or the sec retary of the Chamber of Commerce receiving one or more letters from soldiers or the parents of soldiers eX- pressing thanks for the treatment received here.
 Letters after letters from the sol diers shows that the spirits of the trops have been boosted to sublimity by their cordial reception and efforts to comfort the physical as we'll as the spiritual man. The women if the Can teen Service are doing big bit and deserve every bit of praise they re- ceive.
 Mrs. w. T. Lowe, the chairman, has issued a call for volunteers for the Canteen Service reserve corps" " She wants women who will cook edi bles for the soldiers on a moment s notice. Members of the reserve corps are not required to assist in serving the soldiers, but they must furnish the viands that are served.
 Mrs. Lowe's mail should be swamp ed with names, and doubtless will be Many women already are aiding this work, but there is room for many more And we expect they will an. swer the call.

OESULTORY BOMBlNG
 GUARANTEES THRILLS
Aviator Has to Play Hide and Seek With Great Searchlights on The
 Ground.

Behind British Lines in France, June 21.-(Correspondence of The Associated Press.) .)-One of the most exciting tasks to which airmen are assigned is what is known as "desul- tory 'bombing' over one spot for an hour or more. The object is to dis tract the attention of the anti-air craft defenders of given district. and a machine carrying dozen or more bombs is empolyed for the work.
 At first the airmen, pilot and an observer, approach their target cau- tiously. With engines throttled down. the craft glides nearer and nearer. Below all is quiet. No German search lights are sweeping the sky. When the attackers are almost over their objective a rocket rises toward them and bursts into cluster of red stars. The machine has been discovered. At once six or seven searchlights throw their beams aloft. The pilot loos at his watch: it is time to begin his de- sultory bombing.
 He flies steadily on, although a barrage of bursting shells lies now in front of him. The observer looks LAl Ou5I LuC WAI Co Ol UOlAO"016AI to the ground below. At the proper instant he thrusts his lever forward and releases two bombs. A few sec- onds later he sees the flash of their explosions, and above the cracking barrage, he can hear two dull roars. He signals to the pilot and the mach inc turns and sweeps away from the fiery ring of shells and searchlights.
 A few miles away the airplane flis to and fro at top speed. The puzzled searchlights vainly feel the sky in all directions and then, one by one, are switched off.
 The pilot quickly moves again to- ward the target. Another bomb is dropped As it explodes the search lights reappear and the barrage is renewed while through the thick1y grouped shell bursts are threaded the chains of green flaming globes Ao much used by the Germans.
 Again the machine flies away and this time. to bewilder still more the soldiers below, the observer fires a white very light which slowly drifts below and fades out. All the search lights follow it until it dies.
 Repeatedly the airmen return to the attack. Bombs are dropped at in- tervals until the end of the hour

GIVE US THE CREDIT AND LET
 THE FLOUR GO

Under the caption, Arkansas Flour Saving" the St. Louis Post Dispatch of recent issue published l the following editorial which will be read in Pine Bluff and Jefferson co n ty with a large decree of disgust concerning the facts:
 "The Arkansas Food Admmistra- ton has just made known how the people of that State effected a sav- ing of 40,567 barrels of fliur, enough it is said, to feed 2,O2S,350 Europeans for one month on the wheat flour ra- tion that was permitted at that time to residents of the United States. The remarkable part of the story Is that this flour was either in the home bins or was in the stores waiting for buy CTS.
 sIt came about in this way: Allen Kennedy, Food Administrator for Sebastian County, was impressed by the home and store stock of flour at the time that the need of con. servation of wheat became known. He issued request that each house. holder and stokekeeper turn back all flour over that needed for 30 days operations under the new rule. The retail stores took the flour from the householder and the wholesalers froln the retailers.
 "The result to this appeal was as tonishing, and he reported his success to Hamp Williams, the Arkansas aid to Food Administrator Hoover He was impressed, and Statewide ap- peal was made to county administra- tors. They in turn asked their peo- pie not to be outdone by any other county, and what seemed to be an endless chain of returning wheat flour was begun. But there was an end, finally. When it appeared that the people were through. the return flour was sent to New Or leans and turned over to the Grain Corporation in that city. and long since has reached France. A check fo, SAP, 1914 was sent to the Arkansas Food Administration and this in turr was distributed to these who had sac, rificed their private stocks that the allies might be fed
