MEATLESS AND
WHEATLESS DAYS

When the call came we willingly
gave our sons to the great struggle.
Now comes another call--one that
we, and we only, can answer.
The call to save. We have been
asked that before. and we have re-
sp0nded nobly. Now, however. we
are asked not only to save, but to
save more, SO that the black day on
which we might be forced to go
without may be put back on the ter
rible calendar Of war. Il.
But more than that. We are ask

Following is one of series of articles by Mr. Mariner, of the Cham
 Der of Commerce.
 "He is the fellow who gives you
 credit when you are financially
 broke. He is the support of our
 churches, charities, lodges and Cham Der Commerce and boosts for New port every day in the year. Don't you know that every dollar sent out of town for merchandise is sent to strangers-to men who never spend dollar, to men who would not trust you for box of matches. You can't
 save anything when you send money out of the city and take all the risk of weights and measures and of getting damaged and inferior goods. And don't you realize that the growth o, your city depends largely on the success and prosperity of the home merchants. Out of town people are prone to judge a city by the degree of enterprise displayed by our
 home merchants and the appearance
 of their stores. The home merchant
 must have the loyal support of the
 home people to succeed. This prin-
 cipal also applies to the merchant who buys foreign goods direct when
 they could be ordered through a
 home concern.
 Good civic conditions and good
 citizenship advertise community. The greatest source of desired pub licity is citizen who is in love with his city and has tangible reason for that affection. Not only does it ad-
 vertise the community, but it adver-
 tises the community spirit of the
 place. It advertises it's industry, its

CIVIC ACTIVITIES OF A
 CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

A commercial organization must avoid participation in religious con traversies, it must not take sides in keenly partisan political campaigns; it must avoid the advocating of the cause or candidacy of any individu- al or group; using it's influence ex- clusively for any individual or group of business men; interfering with, or opposing directly officers of con- stituted authority, any tendency to- ward exclusiveness or allowing po- litic, religion or factional interest to creep into the organization and in- fluence it's conduct and the election of it's officers. The Chamber of Commerce has as it's general pur- pose, service along commercial and civic lines. It has no legally estab- lished position in governmental af- fairs of the community and there fore may not trespass on those grounds with impunity, except Tn the service to commerce and civics.

Home Merchant;
 And Who Is He?

general business, it's community life. When sound minded manager of an industry is looking over community with the idea of locating the first questions he asks are regarding the tax rate, the power rate, the water supply, the transportation facilities, pavements, churches, schools, hous- ing conditions, playground and re creational facilities. Good civic con ditions attract capital. They attract industry, well-to-do families seeking school facilities and pleasant home surroundings. Men build cities-not material things or natural resources. Men build up commercial organiza- tions and make them. Men make cities beautiful, attractive, convent ent, homelike and safe. Both civic and commerce are the functions of men when considered in the light of community life and livelihood.
 We are living in an age of pub licity; advertising is making the world go. round at a giddy speed. The merchant, the promoter, the manufacturer, etc with an unknown or n-advertised article for sale IS soon dropped off and left behind by the fearless operator who take the bone of advertising and publicity in his teeth and let the world know he is in the game. Let the commercial organization tell their members and public at large through the columns of the daily of the activities of the organization and they will find the people and the press back of them.
 Local papers are the moulders of public opinion without which your eff forts would be nil. Set the newspa- per behind you in all your efforts and

 Miles West of Somme.

JUNGLE SAM SAYS
 ENLIST FOR COLLEGE.

Special to Independent.
 | Little Rock, Aug. 2e. Fifteen hundred large posters are to be ex- hibited at Registration booths throughout the state on Registration Day, sometime in September, with the message, "Uncle Sam says Enlist for College" This is being done by the Arkansas Emergency Council on Education.
 Reports from the schools indicate that the enrolment in the various institutions will be far ahead of any in recent years, due to the enroll- ment of young men of draft age un- der the new law.
 The government proposes to utillze' the educational plants of the country as it has the industrial plants, for the training of our young men, There are at least twelve institutions of learning in the state, including the four agricultural colleges which have qualified or will qualify 3or the military training of the XoaR men, The method of distribution as not vet been announced, but it is expect ed that they will be equitably dis tributed so that there may be no crowding in any of them.
 The government will detail the young men of from IS to 21 to the schools to complete their training, m line for military commissions, or for technical work. There expenses and maintenance will be paid by the government.

PREPARING FOR THE DRAFT.

Early in September, 13,000,0OO men between the new draft ages of IS and 21, and 31 and 45 will be reg istered for such service as the gov ernment may call upon them to per form.
 It will be the greatest mobiliza- ton of man power ever undertaken in the world.
 Provost Marshal General Crowder says to all State, County and Local Councils of Defense, "I want to have every flag flying and every band playing on Registration Day."
 He is counting upon every county and community council to insure the army and nation 100 per cent regis tration. VI
 All the machinery for the draft IS being prepared in advance, so that there may be no delay or confusion In the oderly application of the Selec- tive Service law.
 Each community is called upon to arrange to make Registration Day a solemn patriotic celebration; to have the bells rung, to have all flags fly ing and to make use of bands and patriotic music wherever possible.
 It is suggested that Community council and patriotic meetings be held, and speakers provided to lay this information before the people, { that they may be fully advised of the provisions of the law and the requirements of the nation in this hour of crisis.
 Special meetings for negroes and foreign-born groups should be held l wherever necessary to explain to them their duties.
 Every individual in the remotest sections of Arkansas, as well as throughout the nation, must be reached with an irresistible appeal to his patriotism and his conscience and the government is relying largely upon the Council of Defense system to secure this result.
Newport daily independent., 1918-08-28
RESISTANCE IS DUE
 TO IGNORANCE

Resistance to the reasonable and democratic regulations of the Selec- five Service Law is more frequently due to ignorance than to actual dis loyalty.
 The men do not understand that if is war in which the actual Lib- erty of Arkansas is involved only Tn a less degree than that of France. They do not understand that it is not "a rich mans war and poor mans fight but that all classes, rich and poor, high and low, of what ever political or religious creed, are alike barring their breasts to the shot and shell of the crumbling hordes of autocracy on the far-flung battle line of the west.
 Those who oppose the govern ment, for the most part, do not know, as the ill-starred Ben Caughron tes- tified last week as he walked to the electric chair.
 Councils of Defense throughout the state, county and community, are called upon to be especially vigilant and alert, and to report to the state council all suspicious cases of inclp- tent resistance, so that trouble may be averted through an appeal to the mems patriotism, their consciences, and their sense of equality and jus tice.
 Unity of purpose and continuity of effort are needed to win

German Kultur Not q New Thing

Every village they have pas sed through has been the victim of what IS only organized pill age. Every city has been prac- tIcally sacked, ransacked on system; it's citizens plundered, its civil officials terrorized, i'm prisoned, outraged or killed. The civil populations have been, contrary to the usage of modern warfare. forced to serve the in- vading armies, brutally put to death, reduced to wholesale star vation, and desolation. Vast tracks of the richest and most industrious districts of Europe have been deliberately stripped and plunged in to famine, solelyin order that the invaders might make war cheaply. Irregular troops. contrary to all the prac- tice of war. have been systema- tically murdered, and civil popu- lations indiscriminately massa- cred, solely to spread terror. A regular system of ingenious ter rorism has been directed againss civilians, as horrible as anything in the history of civil or religious wars. Large and populous cities have been, not once, but 20. 30. 40 times, bombarded and burnt, and the women and children in them wantonly slaughtered, with the sole object of inficting sui fering. All this has been done not in license or passion, but by the calculating ferocity of scien- tific soldiers.
 The above was not written, though it might have been, yes terday, last week. last month, or last year. It appeared Tn the English Fortnightly Review Fe- bruary. 1871. shortly before the surrender of Paris. Frederick Harrison. the writer is still alive. Its statements were true then, are true now. Julius Caesar in his Commentaries narrates events which show that even be- fore the time of Christ the Ger mans demonstrated the posses sion of all the rudiments of their modern ''kultur. It is no new thing; and hundreds of thous- ands of men will have died in vain in this war if this sinister thing is not absolutely and utter ly exterminated forever by the forces of civilization arrayed against 1t.

Accidents Are Feu

Records of the War Depart ment show that from the begin hing of training in June, 1917 o February 22, 1918. the fatal, l. ties at military aviation fields in this country have been 51; 10 officers and 29 cadets killed in training flights, and 12 men kill ed in unauthorized flights and ground accidents.
 Since the training began, in the United States. student aviat- ors have flown considerably more than 100000 miles. Hun dreds of hitherto inexperienced men have been learning to fly. Their early flights are under the guidance of instructors, and prior to these flights two or more months are spent in preli- minary ground work. There comes a time, however, when every student aviator must take his machine up alone, and every precuatlon has been taken to re- duce the number of accidents and safeguard the aviator in his solo flights.

Don't Shoot Pigeons

Warning against shooting pigeons has been issued by the United States committee on pub lie information at Washington. It is pointed out that the army is framing thousands of homIng pigeons as beares of military in formation and that, as it is in- possible to distinguish between carrier and ordinary pigeons, hunters should refrain from shooting pigeons of any kind. The following statement was is- sued by the committee:
 Numerous complaints have been made to the pigeon section of the signal corps that carrier pigeons of the racing homer type, being trained throughout the United States for communi- cation service with the American army, have been shot by persons on hunting expeditions.
