Defective Eyes Cause
Many Men First Passed
To be Rejected at Camps

Examination of the records of 10, 900
men passed for military service by
local boards and then rejected by camp
surgeons show that nearly % per cent
of the final reflections were caused by
defective eyes.
Teeth were responsible for $50 per
cent; hernia, TAI per cent; ear, 5.94
per cent; heart disease, 5.S7 per cent;
tuberculosis, 5.37 per cent.
Attempts to evade military duty by
deception regarding physical condition
were very few.

the tendency has been the other way,
On a farm a flock of free pigeons, if
not kept down by killing off the in
crease, soon becomes a nuisance, de-
stroying grain and doing a great deal
of damage, especially on new-seeded
ground.
The remedy for this is to keep the
pigeons under control and use the
young birds, except the few needed to
keep up the flock, as fast as ready for
the table. By establishing the flock
of pigeons in an accessible place,
giving them a little feed occasionally
in their loft, and keeping them shut in
and feeding them when they could
damage new-seeded ground, a farm
flock of pigeons can be made to con-
tribute substantially to the meat sup
ply, and still be prevented from doing
any serious damage. ..,~-Saa4s \

Stop the Farm Leaks.

Every one knows what happens
when water is put into a barrel that
has stood empty in the sun for a
while. The water leaks out between
the slaves. Many manufacturers hire
men to study out ways of stopping
such leaks in their business. 1t is
said that a well-knOwn automobile
company offers a small fortune to any
man who can save a few cents in the
cost Of building prominent parts of an
auto. Just so in farming. The most
successful farmer is the one who a
the best organized business, which is
best adapted to conditions, n has
the fewest '1eaks." Every dairy farmer
knows the BabcOck test shows how
much butter fat is in a cows milk.

The fact that rabbits are a cheap
substitute for the ordinary meats is
likely to turn the attention of many
more persons to rearing them, special
lists of the United States department
of agriculture believe. They can be
kept in small and inexpensive pens
and buildings and, like poultry, can
be killed and prepared for the table
on short notice.

The decrease in the number Of beef
cattle in the United States, with the
resulting high prices which have pre-
vailed during recent years, has caused
greater interest to be taken in this in

Much of the excellence of the raD-
bit as food depends upon the cook
ing. AS often prepared, it is dry and
insipid, while in the hands of an ex-
Derfenced cook it becomes all that a
fastidious taste can wish-whOlly as
palatable as the finest poultry. A spe-
ciaI requirement in cooking is that
none of the natural juices in the meat
lost in the process.

Arkansas Patriots
Do Their Part Well

Little Rock, Aug, 49, The
sage is being set for the Fourth
liberty Loan drive, to be follow
ed by another Y. M. c.. A. drive,
while there is in progress all the
time War Savings Stamps drives,
and Give-a- Bushel drives and
and Labor Registration drives,
and many other drives, all of
them designed to aid and sup
port the drives that gre being
staged in Picardy, in Flanders,
in the Champaign, in the Tren-
tine, in Siberia, and on the Muir
man Coast.
Arkansas is doing its share, as
it has done from the first and
will continue to do notwithstand-
ing the unfortunate crop condit-
ions that prevail throughout the
state. The casualty lists that
come in daily now, contain al
most every day the name of some
Arkansas boy either killed or
wounded in action, and this is
bringing the Great War home to
US as never before.
Arkansas is ready to do it's
part without murmur when
ever called upon by the Govern
ment through any of it's war
activities, and when the final &C.
counts are castup, it has no fear
but that it will show up 100 per
cent patriotic.
One of the strongest evidences
of tn is is the splendid support
that is being given the Give-a-
Bushel War Fund, that great
movement which originated in
Cleveland county, and is attract.
ing the attention of. many other
states, from Vermont to Californ-
ia. Also, 10 the response that
IS being made to the call for a
contribution of 100000 for a
girls detention home; to the
ready compliance with the reg
ulations of the fuel and food ad
ministrations to the point of
actual sacrifi &c.
Another notable instance of
patriotic endeavor is the orga ~
ization of county and commun-
ity councils of defense in coniunc-
ton with the work of the State
Council of Defense. Every CO.
unity in the state is, organized,
with more or less active councils.
