PERsHING's MEN ARE READY.
Secretary Baker Says Many Di0icul,
 ties Have Been Overcome.

Washington. Jan. 2i.-WhiIe de- clining to comment directly upon the statement attributed to presi- dent Wilson that there will be twice as many Americans abroad next June as had been originally planned, Secretary Baker said:
 The program of the department has been a constantly developing one and many difficulties and linn itations have been removed or ov- ercome. cannot discuss numbers of men in France or anticipated to be in France at any particular time, but we have made substantial pro- gress."
 Recent press dispatches from General Pershing's headquarters have shown that a considerable part of his force, at any rate, was now regarded as fully trained The war departmet has had little to say on this subject. There have been no hints dropped as to when the American front would be estab- lished. but the impression is gain ing strength here that the day is not far distant.
The Mena weekly star., 1918-01-31

Arkansas must save, and save, and save this year-save to serve. and conserve to preserve.
 One of the unique method of con servation that has been suggested by Governor Brough's correspond enls, is the adoption of some means of curtailng the number of circuses in the state. In 1917 over seventy circuses came into Arkansas and took from communities large sums of money involving a tremendous amount of labor and transportation force that might be utilized to greater advantage.
 Another suggestion is that, begin ming about March i, and continuing thru the spring and summer, all commercial business houses shall close at 6 D. ma to give the pro- prietors and employees time to work their home gardens before sundown. It is contended that this would greatly increase the produc- ton of foodstutfs and enable many citizens to live almost from the products of their own gardens. Business establishments and in dustrial concerns could aid in this movement by opening an hour ear- Her, OF the adoption of the daylight saving plan.
 Still another somewhat unique suggestion is designed to conserve labor. In the cotton-producing sec- ton of the stale it is customary for the negro and other farm employees t0 settle with the plantation owners during the harvesting of the crop. This means loss of several days and sometimes a week. when labor is scarce and soreiy needed II has been suggested that if the various State Councils of Defense, and the federal government would issue or ders that the laborers and their families should be supplied with goods at cash prices until the busi- est season is over, then full set clement made on the basis of work done, a great step would be taken in the solving of the problem of the la0or shortage.
 On the basis of a first draft of 850000 men, each man left at home should work only 28 minutes more each day, in order to put forth the same energy as was expended at the outset of the war.
 These are matters that were brought to the attention of the State Council of Defense this week by the governor.
