INDUSTRIAL MOVEMENT
 RECEIVES ENCOURAGEMENT
 OVER EASTERN ARKANSAS

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Sept. 10.-As a result of a mass meeting at the opera house in Helena Sunday night, addressed by Gov. Brough, committees were ap- pointed to undertake the campaign in Phillips county in behalf of the girls industrial school and women's reformatory. The governor was as- sured that the full quota of $2,5OO would be raised. He reports that the people of. Eastern Arkansas, as in all other parts of the state, are thor oughly patriotic and are ready to give to all worthy public causes, de- spite the short crops which have caused loss of at least 35 per cent. The campaign for the girls school is coming to a most satisfactory close. It was extended over this week to enable the various committees to close up their subscriptions. Indica- tions are that the full amount of $100,OOO will be raised in the state.

STAGE IS SET FOR
 REGISTRATION OF 13,-
 0OO,OOO MEN THURSDAY
Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Sept. 10.-The stage is being set for the registration next Thursday of thirteen million men be- tween the ages of IS and 45. Every man between those ages inclusive who has not registered under the pre- ceding law is not only expected but is obliged to register on that day, and those who fail or neglect to do so will be dealt with according to law.
 Information, however, which comes to the office of the Adjutant General and the State Council of Defense is that thre is no slackerism anywhere in Arkansas, and there will be no or ganized disposition anywhere to evade the draft.
 Arkansas is responding as man to the call of the government. So thorough is this response that many industries which are considered es- sential are feeling the effect of the withdrawal of men for military ser vice. For instance, it is stated that many of the county agricultural agents will not claim exemption from service, and it will be practically inn possible to fill their places, as they are trained for this particular work. The production of food is essential to the maintenance of the fighting forces at the front, and with so many farm laborers gone, the sclentlflc utilization of all resources left be- comes more imperative.
 It has been recommended that Reg istration Day be made holiday as largely as possible without undue in reference with business, so that every man within the draft ages be given an opportunity to register. General Crowder has advised the State Council of Defense that it is his wish that all flags be flown on Regis tration Day, and that every city and town furnish some kind of band mu- sic, military, naval or local. The Camp Pike bands will be used in Lit tie Rock.

despite the speed with which more are
going over there, 1t seems inevitable that

may a be a year OF Allied preparations,
with America having lion 5 share in the
