300 AT UNIVERSITY
Taking TwO-Months. Course in Finer.
 gency Mechanical Training.

Fayetteville, July S.-Four men from Little River county are among the 300 soldiers who are taking a two months course in emergency 1ne- chanical training in the shops anu laboratories of the University of Al kansas. The University of Arkansas in common with a number of otaer leading universities in the country. is aiding the United States in instruct ing an army of soIne 100000 men In technical subjects The 300 young men a; the University of Arkansas come from practically every county in tine state. Although they were sent by the local boards, most of the men vol unteered for the work
 Following are the men from Little River county who are enrolled in the work: Clarence o. White, Ashdown, auto trades; Guy L. Aubrey, AshdoWn auto trades; Paul H. Oliver, Ashdown, auto trades; Henry H. Layne, Fore man, general carpentry.
 Army officers and University in- structors are unanimous in their praise of the enthusiasm for the work shown by the men. In three and one- half days the men taking the wireless work committed the code and had ac- quired a speed ranging from three to seven words per minute. About 95 per cent of the men have had no pre- vious experience in telegraphy.
 The Arkansas soldiers are qnartered in the mems dormitories of the Uni versity which have been fitted up es- pecially for their comfort and welfare. The best of care is being taken of the men. Meals were ready for all men as soon as they stepped from the trains. A medical officer and a dental officer have been assigned to look after them The men are now being vaiccinated for smallpox and typhoid.
 About seven hours of classroom work, two hours of drill, end three of recreation constitutes the day. The men are making the same rapid pro- gces5 in learning the business of sol d:ering that they are making in their studies, according to Capt. J. R. Buck, commanding officer. After the equiv alent of about one day. drill at can tonment the men were doing platoon drill and battalion 6rili.
 Approximately 170 of the men are | receiving training in wireless, 70 in automobile work, 40 in carpentry and bcnch working, and 20 in concrete ! working. The instruction will last for sixty days; if it proves successful an- other group of men will be assigned to Arkansas major educational irstitu- tirna.

It seems that circumstances will force farmers next year to radically change their plan of cropping. The shortage of farm labor due to the con tinued heavy drafts of manpower will render it harder and harder to tend large crops of cotton or other crops thst require outside help. Necessity will also demand that all land be cul- tivated to some crop. IL would seem sthat the practical solution would be to SOW more of the land to grain and oth- CT crops requiring minimum of cul- tivation. These crops will be needed and will be profitable. This will also enable the farmer to feed more live stock, another source of profit He could then plant to regular crops all that his available force can cultivate. This seems to be about the only so- lution to the problem of getting all the land to work Cowpeas can be planted after wheat or oats, thus get ting double crop. It would not be amiss to begin now making individual plans for the future along some such practical line as mentioned.

YOU AND YOUR TOWN

Is your town what it should be in business way? Who made it what it is now and in whose hands does the future rest? You, MT Business Man, have you done all in your power to make your town what it should be? Ii you haven't they why? Why did you fail to do the things on which the life of your town, your business, and even your dear ones depend? When you talk about your town ask yourself if you have done your full duty in mak- ing it what it should be? "It isn't the town, it's you"
 Has your town been what it should morally? Have you prayed that your town should be improved? Why have you failed in the task that you should have done? I believe have the cor rect answer when I repeat: "It is for the lack of faith and courage that we fail in task hard to do."
 Have you made as much money in the past year as you wanted to? If you have not made a reasonable salary for your labor this year you have "fail- ed in task hard to do" If you ex- pect to win in the task you have be- gun you must have the suitability You must do your work and not de- pend on some one else to do it for nobody can do your task and his at the same time. He mast neglect one and if you do not carry your load it will be left for someone else You say that you cannot make a living where you are and want to move" Why does the man in Oklahoma City want to go to Dallas to get rich and the man in Dallas want to go to Oklahoma City for the same reason? Why you say the surroundings are different. Quite sure, and the men are different with their thinking. If the man in Oklaho- ma City would think like the man in Dallas and put his thoughts into &C., tlon he would drop the idea of moving and make money where he is.
 Are you thinking wrong? Do you think your town is the worst one in the world?

SUGAR REGULATIONS

Little Rock, July 3.-Sugar for the remainder of the year hls been denied a great many manufacturers who fail ed to comply with government. order last month and file report showing the amount of sugar they had on hand. Those reports had to be in by June IF. Many manufacturers had supply of sugar to last them to July. Now when they want sugar there is no record on file in this city from them. Of course they. are bowling, but instructions from Washington on that particular are emphatic.
 Now, it is announced, now reports are demanded, end in order that no buyer of sugar may be penalized Hamp Williams, state feed admiristra- tor, has issued the following:
 "New reports must be filed by all buyers of sugar, whether you have a supply for July or not. These reports must he in my office on or before July 15. If you have made application for sugar purchasing certificates you will not have to make out another report at tkis time. These reports must be made out by every one who buys sug- ar, excepting only the householder who purchases for private consump- tion.
 Federal, state, county and city institutions using sugar are not per mitted 10 buy that product without the sugar purchasing certificate. If they have not already made the proper ap- plication, they are urged to do so al once. They, too, must file the official i report. Sugar will positively be de nied for the remainder of the year to all who do not make these reports. Ii you are in doubt as to what you should do, write me immediately.

FIXING COTTON PRICES

AS a basis for consideration, we sub init that the cost of producing cotton cannot be determined in the way this usually has been attempted. The cost will vary within wide limits in differ 4ent years, in different sections, on diff ferent farms and with different men on similar land the same year.
 Perhaps the best index of the cost of production is the price actually re- ceived by the producer for any import ant necessity during a term of years This is much the best index of the cost of cotton production. For the ten years from 1907 to 1916, inclusive, the average price of cotton to the producer was 118 cents.
 Many estimate that present costs are at least 2a times that for the de- acade before we entered the war. Others believe that the present cost of pro- duction is not over 2a times what it was for that decade. For the same ten-year period the price of wheat was 96.2 cents When the price of wheat was fixed at $22O, this was 2.2S6 times the price for the decade, 1907 to 1916
 It has also been stated that the price of wool has been fixed at approximate ly 9 times the price for the same ten year period preceding.
 If the same increase in price is to be put on cotton as was put on wheat we have 11.Sx2 .286 which equals 26.97 or approximately ZIG as fair price for middling cotton. If the increase is to be that given to wool then we have 11.8x2.5 which equals 29,5 cents a lib as the price for cotton.
 In view of the conditions which may arise, the producers of cotton should be giving this subject serious consid- eration, for while the South asks nc faWors and will do her duty in any emergency, she must be prepared te present and assert the right to fair price should the necessity for stabiliz- ing the prices of cotton arise at any time during the period of the war; Progressive Farmer.

5 S5O ,0O0 FIRE AT NASH
 VILE WEDNESDAY,
Box Factory and Mill Destroyed With Many Thousand Feet Ii Lumber -UndcterminS, But Is Not
 Thought fncediary.

Nashville, July 6.-The box factory and saw mill plants of the Allen Lum-s Der and Box Company were destroyed by fire last Wednesday evening, the fire starting from an unknown cause, although it is not thought to have been of incendiary origin.
 The total loss is estimated at about s5O,0o0 to the company, besides. ID cars on the siding of the M., D. & G. railroad, most of which were loaded
 The fire started soon after six o'clock, and the flames gained head way so rapidly that by the time the Aiarm was given the building of the tox factory was in flames almost all ever. Hundreds of people rushed to the scene, but were unable to do any thing to save the plants. For a time it io2Kcd as though the entire south end of the city would be destroyed by th- flames. there being no wate. pro- lection ant only the lack of wind sSy- ed many residences, as we'll ns ,hc blaming mill, shed and lumber yali '; the canlrany. and the shops ;! the M, l.. & c railroad.
 President J. H. Allen of the Allen Lumber and Box Company stated yes- terday that he did not know as yet what would be done by the colnpanyl toward rebuilding, but that the plan- ing mill would continue to run, and that additional mahinery would be in- stalled there temporarily.
 Besides the loss of property coused by the fire, about 200 men were thrown out of employment, and likely many will be compelled to leave the city.
