Plant Garden, But Plant Wisely

In the growing of more gar dens the people of arkansas re- spondrd splendiGly after war was declared on the 9th of last April, but along with the excel lent work done both in towns and rural sections many unnecessary mistakes were made. One of the great mistakes made last year was that people grew considera ble surplus quantities of certain garden crops for which there was no market and 1t resulted in great Encouragement, in queS tioning the wisdom of persons who advised the raising of more gardens. and in many cases in loss of effort and material where there was no outlet for a surplus through com mercial channels. The experience of last year should be applied in the effort of each individ ual to produce more this year "

Notice

To the People of Lonoke County:
 The country is facing a fuel shortage. It is doubtful if we will be able to obtain any coal whatever next winter. Wood cut at this time will be amply sea- soned by next winter. Prepare to lay in good supply, beginning now.
 On account of the demand for coal for shipping purposes, a great many of the States where large quantities of wood are found, will be compelled to use wood. It is much better to cut your wood and store it at this season, than to wait until it snowS next winter and then have to pay enormous prices for it. People living in town should place their orders for wood and have their winter supply laid in as soon as possible. Do not put this off, but com mence now
