RECRUITS ARE STILL
WANTED FOR THE NAVY

The U. S. Navy, Americas First
Line of Defense, wants as many re-
eruits from Arkansas as she can get.
Every man between 10 and 35 years
of age is eligible. Men with trades
can be used to much advantage in the
navy, and are wanted just as well as
those without trades.
The Government makes the same al
lowances for the families of Navy
men as it does for drafted army men.
The pay for newly enlisted men
ranges from 1926 up to $500 a
month besides board, lodging and the
clothing allowance. These men, of
course, have opportunities to advance
to ranks paying $4,000 year and up.
If five or more men of good physical
build who want to join the Navy can
get together in one place and have
some postmaster, mayor, sheriff or
other responsible person, notify the
Recruiting Officer at Little Rock, an
agent will be sent to any railroad
point in Arkansas to exa nine them.

SPRINGDALES SUBSCRIPTION
TO W. S. S. NOT YET KNOWN

A complete total of subscriptions to
War Savings Stamps secured in
Springdaie school district last Friday,
June 28-War Savings Day-could not
be secured in time for publication in
this weeks paper, but it is believed
that Springdah went near the top if
not over
In accordance with the request of
President Wilson that meeting hav-
ing for it's purpose the purchase of
War Savings Stamps, be held in every
school district in the United States,
the residents of Springdale School dis
trict met at the Auditorium. Jno. P.
Stafford presided and explained. the
purpose of the meeting and introduced
Rev R. S. Brown, pastor of First
Presbyterian Church, who made the
principal address. Rev. Brown laid
before the people the necessity of get
ting behind the government with ev-
cry dollar that they possess, and stat
ed that we must take off our coats,
both literally and figuratively and
each one be ready and willing to do his
or her part. The speaker made
plea for cutting out entirely during
the war of socials and entertainments
or other Inequalities which would in
cur waste of money, food or time.
Rev. Brown was followed by Carl
Ownbey, who spoke briefly on the
Thrift and War Savings Stamp plan.
He explained how War Savings
Stamps could be purchased and stated
that it was not necessary that per
son have the money to buy the stamps
that afternoon but that they could
sign pledge to buy certain amount
before the end of the year A list of
names of Springdale citizens who had
already purchased the full amount OF
War Savings Stamps allowed by the
government to any one person was
read by Mr.. Ownbey, who explained
that they had purchased all the
stamps allowed them, and consequent
ally could not buy any in this cam
paign.
Several tables were placed at con-
venient places in the Auditorium and
at the conclusion of Mr.. Ownbey's
talk they were surrounded by men and
women anxious to do-not their bit"
but their all toward helping the
government, and those who did not
pledge to purchase stamps when APP
preached by solicitor were required
to give reason why they so refused.
Reports from surrounding school
districts indicate that practically all
raised their. respective quotas, some
going away over. The News next
week will publish the amount of the
Springdale districts subscription.

BELGIAN RELIEF FUND.

Last week there were five hundred
buttons sent to Springdale by the
chairman of the Belgian Relief COM
mittee of Washington County, to be
sold in Springdale. The matter was
not advertised in any way, and was
placed in the hands of children who
were too small to know anything
about the work, and as consequence
most of the buttons remain unso'd,
and the pitiful sum of ten dollars
was turned in as Springdale's dona-
ton to the poor, starving Relgians
We cannot afford to allow Spring
dale to be published as 'sla :l1er"
and so we have requested those who
have charge of this work at Fayette-
vile to allow US to sell these buttons
on July Fourth, and try to redeem
ourselves.
We should at least, raise shree or
four hundred dollars, as every button
should bring from Toe to $l.00. We,
who have good comfortable homes,
and who spend money lavishly for ice
cream, picture shows, and all such un-
necessary things, can surely deay our
selves and our children, enough to be
able to buv one Of these buttons -

Attorney General Gregory has given
an opinion to the effect that indi-

can be quarantined, even ito the ex-
tent of transporting to common
hospital or lazarette those who are

Rupert Blue Of the federal public
health service. The question has come
up in states where public health Of
ficers are aiding state officers in COM
batting the spread of social diseases,
