Get Your Fuel Now
For Next Winters Use

1t it almost like hurting an in
suit into mans face to talk to
him these sizzling hot days about
fuel for heating purposes, never
theless the Federal Fuel Com
III ssion urges everyone to lay in
his winter supply of fuel now.
1t will be next to impossible
to have coal freighted from the
mines for domestic use next
winter, and even during the hot
days of June we could
sometimes remember the chilly
days of January. And we do
not know but what next winter
will be just a little colder than
last.
" lille there are few people IN
Cleveland County who use coal
for fuel, Geo. F. Moody, county
fuel administrator, urges every
citizen to lay in a sufficient sup
ply of wood to run through the
cold season with the least pos
sible delay. With many of our
young men responding to the
call of the colors and others do
ing their bit in accepting en-
ployment in vaaious war enter
prises, the man power of the
county is being rapidly depleted,
and even now it is very hard to
get a sufficient amount of laborto
carry on farming and other ne
cessary work. Consequently it
is hard now and may be still
harder later on to get wood cut
and delivered. and he who would
guard against the chilly blast of
winter had best prepare now.

Loan Association
Recently Organized

The Cleveland County National
Farm Loan Association was or
gained last week and applica-
tons for loans amounting to
$50, 10000 offered for approval.
Mr.. j. V. Ferguson, one of
the most prominent farmers of
Lonoke County and formerly
clerk of that county, was here
several days directing the local
organization. Mr.. Ferguson is
appraiser for the National Asso-
citation under the direction of the
Federal Land Bank of ST. Louis,
and most of the credit for the
success of getting the local Assl
ISOLATION properly formed is due
to his efforts, although the en-
ergy and initiative Of Tom Blod-
gett should not be overlooked.
The Government is especially
anxious a. this time to increase
the production of live stock, food
and feed stuffs, and is loaning
money at 5 1-2 per cent up to
one half of the value Of their
farms that farmers may improve
their places and produce better
crops.
The Herald has been advocat-
ing the organization of local
association for some time and
the farmers Of Cleveland County
could use a million dollars of this
cheap money to great advantage
in making improvements, buying
more land, live stock, farm ma
chinery, etc.
DR.. M. F. Stanfeld was elect
ed President of the Association
and Tom Blodgett Secretary, and
those interested can get full in
formation from the officers of
the association at any time.

Compulsory Cattle Dipping Law
To Be Rgidly Enforced in County

Systematic Tick Eradication
under United States Government
supervision is under way in Cleve-
land County for the past two
months, and every citizen has
been urged to comply with the
requirements and dip their cat
tie as the law directs.
A vast majority of the patri-
otto citizens of the county have
gone into the work with the pro-
per spirit, and the work has
been going on in good shape.
However. there are a few in
stances where citizens have lis
tened to unpatriotic and pro-
German propaganda and have
failed to comply fully with the
law. Most of these people have
been mislead, and it is not the
desire Of anyone to punish them
undulv, but affadavits have
alrea ly been made against six or
eight offenders and all others
will be brought to trial as soon
as possible. The state law gov
erning this work is very plain,
and there is little doubt of a
conviction in every case where
the facts are established.
: = A rumor has been circulated
in certain sections of the county
that the circuit court would not
prosecute cases brought before
it for failing to comply with the
tick law, and to prevent other
goo citizens from being mislead
on aerounto of this rumor Sheriff
Jno. L. Haskins wrote Circuit
Judge Turner Butler of the mat
ter, and Judge Butler replied
that he had never at any time to
any person made a statement
that there would be no prosecut-
ion in his court for failure to
observe the dipping law, and
that he had never authorized
any one else to make such a
statement. Il do not feel"
wrote Judge Butler, that it
would be proper for me as Judge
to make any further statement
as to this paticular law, further
than to say that, to the best of
my ability, the grand jury shall

FIRE DESTROYS
THE COMBS HOME
LATE FRIDAY

The residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Har-
~ w. Combs and family at 424 Col
lege avenue was badly damaged by
fire between five and six O'Clock Fri
day afternoon. entailing loss esti-
mated at $4,000 on building and con-
tents. Neither Mr.. nor Mrs. Combs
were at home when the fire broke
out and its cause is unknown. 1t or
iginated in q sleeping tent at the rear
OF the house but in what manner
does not seem TO be very clearly un-
derstood.
Neighbors noticed the flames in
the tent and hurriedly telephoned to
the fire department which responded
at once to the summons. but was un-
able to make the run Hs quickly as
usual owing to the slipping and Slid
ing Of the motor truck as It made its
way up Fifth street, as u result of the
deep mud resultsng~from the melting
snow. The tent which was almost in
stantiy enveloped in flames after the
discovery of the trouble, fell against
the house as soon as its guy-ropes and
moorings were burned, and the roof
took fire. 1t spread rapidly and by
the time of the arrival of the depart
ment the entire structure was threat.
ened with destruction.
A salvage corps was organized by
the neighbors and most Of the furni-
ture and fixtures we're hurriedly car
ried out but not before they had been
more or less seriously damaged from
smoke and water. Several hundred
people were attracted to the scene of
the fire and gave what assistance
they could to the saving of property.
Mr.. and Mrs. Combs reached home
shortly after the flames made their
appearance and they directed the
work Of removing the contents OF the
house To place of safety.
The house was owned by Ellis &
Hood and was insured for $1,000. II
It believed that their loss will ap
proximate $500. Mr.. and Mrs.
Combs carried an insurance of $500
on furniture. clothing and household
effects; an amount believed to be con
siderably below their actual value.
Their loss is difficuls to compute
with any degree OF accuracy, owing to
the fact that many articles were de-
stroyed that cannot be easily replaced
Their loss. will probably reach the
amount OF their insurance.
