SEPARATING PATRIOTS FROM SLACKERS.

"The time is near," declared Lieu tenant Sharman, who passed thru the hell of the fighting in Northern France, in the course of an address at the Rotary club meeting yesterday, ''when the line will be drawn between those who have done their duty ana those who did not"
 Let the time come. The sooner 1t arrives the better for America.
 The stacker" should be branded, and should not have place in the cir cles of patriots. There are more of these than many realize-all who are too attempting to evade in every way possible to render the service thei country has right to except of them are slackers. They are some even worse. They not only evade service, but they seek to profit from situa- tions created by the loyalty of others. They are glad to take advantage of competitors who are handicapped be. cause their employe sare 100 per cent patriots, while those of the slackers show no patriotism at all.
 Lieutenant Sharman's declaration, taken in connection with statements of our own boys who have returned from camps, shows the way the men in uniform are regarding the stay-at- homes and profiteers. It indicates the contempt these patriots are be- ginning to feel for the stacker.
 This feeling is going to be intensi- fled as mere of our brave fellows fall until the stacker is going to be a thing to be spurned by the real men who are fighting for our safety and peace.
 Are you going to be one of these things?

AUTO HOUSES ON CASH BASIS

Within a short time the state of Ar
 kansas will be on cash basis, so far
 as automobile service and supplies are
 concerned, for automobile dealers from all sections of Arkansas have agreed tc abide by the ruling of the
 war service committee of the automo- bile industry. The request that noth- ing be sold except for cash, was re-
 ceived by the automobile dealers who
 met in Little Rock Monday to form
 an organization to cooperate in their war program, and all accepted the recommendation. The automobile
 dealers departed for their homes with
 the intention of putting the rules in- to effect. as they have been in Little Rock for some time.
 It is pointed out by the war service committee that the cash basis Will
 prevent the purchase of many parts and mechanics will thus be liberated for other war work. The discontinu ancc of Sunday service will also light en the work on the mechanics and will take the passenger car mort out of the pleasure class than ever, and this the automobile dealers are most
 anxious to do.
 The Arkansas association has sent ot Washington it's intention to assist the government win the war even should it put the automobile dealer out of business.

TRAIN CADETS IN
 AERIAL GUNNERY

Lake Charles, La., June 11.-Avia- tors from training camps throughout the country are completing their edu- cation in aerial gunnery at the new finishing school near here. From sun. rise to sunset the planes are darting here and there, sometimes near the earth and again at high attitudes and the rattle of machine guns in almost continuous.
 The targets at the first school of it's kind to be established in the United States, are reproductions of German "taube" airplane placed on the sur face of the lake and with black cross painted thereon to represent the enemy pilot, the principal mark for the gunners. The students easily dis cern the striking of the bullet on the water and are able to correct their fire almost instantly if the shots go wide. The results, instructors de- clare, are more than gratifying lut just what records the young fliers have made is information withheld from the public.
 The training in gunnery is as com plete as it is humanly possible to make it. Before being sent to the camp the students are required to un~ dergo a course of ground schooling at Gerstner field, near here. From

MUST MAINTAIN GOOD ROADS
Too Much Money Spent for Construc-
ton and Too Little for Proper
Maintenance.

In many county in the South the
condition of the roads is the same as
those which the editor of the Clinton
Democrat describes as existing in his
county. He says:
eve can't survive the impression
that he have wasted lot Of money;
that we have built lot of roads that
have gone back TO their former condi-
ton. from neglect; that we have bur
dened our posterity with debt that
has proved to be rather bad invest
ment. We have burdened our children
with the bonds that will be mighty
hard to pay. and we will have to an
swer for great deal, If for their $780,,
600 we leave them a legacy of mud
holes, a heritage of sand and water.
One of the main defects in our present
program. we think, is the fact that we
are spending all of our money on con-
struction and are not taking proper
thought for the maintenance of the
roads. The Progressive Farmer.

WARNING YOUTHS TO

Burden Is on Individual, and Failure to

Washington.-The war department
has issued warning to all youths at
tanning the age of 81 on or before June
5 that they must present themselves
for registration on that day. No ex-
cuses will be tolerated, the department
said, except when the person is actu.
ally in the military or naval service.
The department warning says:
Draft officials wish it clearly under
stood that no person who has attained
the age of 81 since June 5, 1917, or
who will attain that age on or before
June 5, is excused from registration
on June unless on that date he is
an actual and active member of the
military or naval service. Persons
not subject to registration on account
of being in the military or naval ser
vice become subject to registration
and are required to register immedi-
ately upon leaving such military or
naval service. Any such persons dis
charged after June must register

TO MAINTAIN GRAVEL ROADS
Never Hard and Smooth Enough to
Prevent Immediate Rutting by
Wheels of Wagons.

Gravel roads are never hard and
smooth enough when opened to travel
to prevent almost immediate rutting by
the wheels of heavily loaded wagons.
In fact, a gravel which contains enough
clay to pack Immediately under the
roller or in a few days under travei
will always prove to give a muddy
road when the frost is going out in the
spring and during prolonged wet spells
at other seasons of the year. If such
gravels are found on a road they can
be greatly improved by covering the
surface with a thin layer of sandy
gravel, applied when the road is soft
and allowed to mix under travel. the
road being kept smooth by the frequent
use of the road drag.
On any gravel road. dragging with
a suitable road drag should begin after
the first good rain following the com
petion of the road and be continued
after each subsequent rain until the
