ORGANIZE GINNERS
ASSOCIATION HERE

On Wednesday morning
number of the ginners of this
county met in McCrory for the
purpose of organizing a Gin
ners Association for Woodruff
County. The meeting was call
ed on the suggestion of the
government in order that the
officials might deal with an or
ganization in the place of indi-
viduals. 1t is thought that the
local organization will enroll
with the Arkansas Ginners AS
ISOLATION in the near future.
At the meeting held here
Wednesday the following Of
ficers were elected: R. T. Har-
vile of Augusta, president;
Mr.. Hill of Cotton Plant, vice
president; J. H. Crossett of
McCrory, secretary nd treasur-
err. The following directors
were also elected: j. H. Snapp,
Fitzhugh; w. G. Gray, Grays !;
L. L. Cole, Bullville; J. R. Nee
han, Cotton Plant; and J. H.
Dale, Augusta.
The meeting was called in
McCrory, this being the most
desirable place for a meeting
of this nature and it was stat
ed in the bylaws that all bust
ness meetings would be held
here. The organization will be
great benefit not only to the
ginners, who will have uni
form price for the ginning and
also for the payment Of seed,
etc., but will be great bene-
fit to the farmers who will deal
with an organization when
having their cotton ginned.
The organization will also
be a great benefit to the gov
government from the fact that
the government has taken
the gins under control and it
can thus deal with the presi-
dent or some officer and not
have to deal with each ginner
individually.

AILOTMENTS AND
FAMILY ALLOWANCES

and family allowances, which
will speed up the delivery of
government checks to the de-
4pendents of soldiers and sail
ors. went into effect on July /.
Several important amendments
of the War Risk Insurance Act
Just approved by the president
make possible the change in
procedure.
After July l, every enlisted
man in the military or naval
service, regardless of rank or
pay, must make the same COM
pulsory allotment to his wife
and children, $15 a month. To
this allotment the government
will add a monthly allowance
ranging from SIS a month for a
motherless child, and SIS for a
wife without children, up to a
maximum of $50. In addition
the enlisted man, if he desires
government allowances for his
dependnt parents, grand par
ents, brothers and sisters, may
make voluntary allotments to
them, fixed by the new amend
ments at SIS a month, where al
lotment is made to a wife and
children, and SIS where no
such allotment is made. Here
tofore allotments were on a
sliding scale and varied ac-
cording to the soldiers pay or
the numbers and personnel of
his family.
The new system, which was
put into effect with the approx
al Of the War and Navy Depart
ments, will simplify the admin
istration of allotments and al
lowances both by the bureau
Of War Risk Insurance and in
the field. Henceforth the Bu-
reau of War Risk Insurance
will handle allotments of only
two amounts, Sis or $40. The
amounts of family allowances
paid by the government to sup
plement these allotments are
not changed by the amended
law.
Bnginning with July pay the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance
will handle allotrnenrs only to
support family allowances and
then ONLY in the amounts re-
CURED by law to support such
allowances. The excess allot-
ments, and allotments to per-
sons not entitled to allowances
will be handled by the War De
partment, Navy Department,
Marine Corps or Coast Guard.
This change in administrative
procedure will considerably in
crease the bureaus efficiency
in handling it's allotment and
allowance problem.
Under the new amendments
a father through adoption and
mother through adoption will
be considered the same as a
natural father and mother and
will have the same rights to al
lotments and allowances. Ap-
proximately 100000 checks
have been issued blythe Bureau
of War Risk Insurance. Checks
are being mailed at the rate OF
more than 10000 day.

ROADS LIKELY ID STAY WITH
 THE WAR OFFICE

Those who have followed the course of events do not believe there iS any liklihood that the War Department tdvorS the transfer of the Alaska Board of Road Commissioners, which iS now under the direction of the Chief of Engineers, to any other de- partmcnt of the Government. It has been several years since the War De. partment signifcd a willingness to surrender the Alaska work to any other authority.
 The War Department and the De- patmcnt of Agrioultur, both of which have funds for building Alaska roads have combined forces as far aS pos sib!e in Federal road work and avoid. ing duplication Of officers, and con sequent reduction of overhead cN- pcnSeS.
 The Alaska Road Commission has jurisdiction over the Federal highway work for the entire Territory. While the principal part of former approp-. riaticns made necessarily devoted to projects coming under the head, Military and Post Roads, Bridges and Tails" as required by the appro- priation bill, a conscientious effort has been made to do full justice to al parts of the Territory. While the funds have not been sufficient to fully meet all demands jt-iS mat fer of fact that the principal popUla- tiOn centerS have been taken care Of. There can be no objection to build ing feeder roads for the railroad, but such roads would be of a local nature md could not be properly classed as military and post roads.
 
 There's nothing quite so sweet as the victory that iS hard earned.

GROUND GLASS FOUND IN CHEWING GUM
Stonington Doctor Sends Samples to
 State Council fDefense.

Dr. James H. Weeks, Stonington. representive for the State Council of Defense, has had reported to him a case of ground glass found in chewing gum in Stonington, and has sent sam pies of the gum in question to the council at Hartford for more thorough examination before giving out all the facts in the matter, He has made a thorough report of his investigations here. and awaits further instructions from the State Council of Defense.
 When the matter was reported to him he started an investigation at once, under the instructions from Hartford, getting samples of the par ticuiar make of chewing gum from all the stores in the borough that sell it. In one store he found a package that arrived at the same time that the package from which the ground glass gum was sold. which had not been opened. and he seized the entire pack
 age. In another store was a package from which five cents worth had beer sold. He also took this On Sunday Dr. Weeks and Dr. Thurber made au examination of one package of gum and found what was undoubtedly ground glass incorporated in the sugar coating of the gum. At least. the sub stance found, when rubbed between two pieces of glass scratched the sur face fthe glass. These samples, too, were sent to Hartford. Dr. Weeks stated Monday that he did not think it wise to publish any names until after receiving full report from the State Council of Defense in Hartford.
