ARKANSAS IN THE RIGHT LIGHT.

LOCAL COOPERATION.

We all of us admit the power of CO., operation "Two heads are better than one," and granted this we must concede that three heads are better than two and four are better than three. Each man separately stands for his own individual force; but if number of men join to- gether for some object, their power in the community increases as each man joins, much more rapidly than his personal force would warrant.
 Notwithstanding our knowledge of this fact, it is often hard to secure coop eration in local affairs. True co-oper:,- tiOn means giving up ones ownsprefer- ences, subordinating ones personality, considering the public good as better than ones own. The man who forgets him. self is the most successful in working with other people.
 Every man naturally wants the best for his town, but the community that achieves the best is the one where the cit izens work unselfishly together In oth- CT words, when we refer to the public spirit of community, we simply mean it's capacity for organized and smooth-run- ming cooperation.
 Meantime, don forget that backyard garden. Don't imagine for moment that the urge is any less than last year. If anything, there is more vital neces- sity that this year every available foot of ground be made to produce food. Not only is there scaracity but transporta- tion difficulties render this shortage more acute in that they make it difficult to transport from one point to another in this country. So that in the coming season, the community that does not raise it's own food stuffs may face the impos- sibility of obtaining them, even though they have the money to pay for them, from the simple reason that the railroads are too over-burdened to haul them. If you raise your living you will be sure of it. If you do not, you at least face the possibility of a scarcity.

Seventh The urgent needs of the
allies for an increased supply of
wheat flour and our own short crop
make it necessary that the amount
of substitutes required in the baking
of all victory bread be increased to
rs percent on April 14th. The stu
ton may demand a still further in
crease later on.
Many thousand families throughout
the land are now using no wheat
small amount for cooking purposes,
and are doing so in perfect health
and satisfaction. There is no reason
why all Of the American people who
are able to cook in their own house
holds cannot subsist perfectly well
with the use of less wheat products
than one and one-half pounds week,
and we specially ask the well-to-do
householder in the country to follow
this additional programme in order
that we may provide the necessary
marginal supplies for those parts of
the community less able to adapt
themselves to so large a proportion
of substitutes. In order that we shall
be able to make the wheat exports
that are absolutely demanded of us,
to maintain the civil population and
soldiers Of the allies, and our own
army, we propose to supplement the
voluntary cooperation of the public
by further limitation of distribu-
ton, and we shall place at once re-
strictions on distribution. which will |
be adjusted from time to time to
secure as nearly equitable distribu-
ton as possible. To relax such re-
strictions until then. we ask for the
necessary patience, sacrifice, and CO.
operation of the distributing trades"
