THIS IS GOAL WEEK"

Washington, D. C., June 8.-The United States Fuel Administration has designated the week beginning today as Coal Week." during which time special drive is to be made all over the country to induce those who must have coal next winter to lay in their supplies without further delay. The Fuel Administration regards this of special importance, inasmuch as it will be easier to secure supplies now than later in the summer or fall. It is pointed out that the fuel needs of the government are constantly in- creasing and that in consequence the supply for the general public will be
 in danger of running short when the cold weather sets in.

Hats Off to Jefferson County, Arkansas! Tribute from the Philadelphia North American.
Hats off to Jefferson county, Ark

Hats off to Jefferson county, Ark ansas!
 That particular subdivision of a wonderful state which already has done much to help wake up the Vest ern world has gone wheatless. While folks elsewhere have been fussing and fuming at the 5O-50 or der, and in many instances sidestep- ping it, the entire supply of wheat flour on hand in wholesale and retail houses in Jefferson county-some 10000 barrels-has been placed at the disposal of the federal Food Ad- ministration.
 And on April 2, at general con- ference, it was unanimously agreed that no more wheat flour be sold in that county until new crops or new conditions assure a normal supply for France, England, Belgium and Italy. So hats off to these real patriots, who thus have typified the finest brand of Americanism.
 The people of Jefferson county, rich and poor, have voluntarily gone Wheatless in order that some of the men, women and children half smoth- cred by hell and standing out against a demon who makes our old-time dev- il seem harmless by comparison, may not have to go eatless.
 Instead of complaining at necess- ary restrictions imposed by the gov ernment, they themselves have de- creed a complete sacrifice of the fav- orite foodstuff.
 They have a feeling that if our men and the soldiers of the allied countries are willing to sacrifice ev- erything, even to life itself, the least they can do is tc give up for a time the one food most needed by these

fighters for freedom.

Some of us here in the East have been wondering whether the West has "waked up" to the war! The West didn't have to wake up to the war, or anything else. The West never has been asleep, when it comes to national needs or world help. The West always is ready to get on the firing line and give more than is ask ed of her. She has a spirit as we'll as the sense of service. She centers the best hopes of that democracy whose fate this day hangs in the balance. Her so-called "fads" of yesterday are to- days foundation stones. She is the Gibraltar of Americanism, and the man who questions her loyalty only reveals his own ignorance.
 There was a time when Arkansas was known chiefly for a certain ''traveler." Pictures of him, sitting on horseback in front of crude cabin and talking to still cruder people, still hang in some homes and many museums.
 Today this Arkansas Traveller is as much a part of the past as the num- my of Rameses sor the grace of Moses. Today this whole land needs a bap- tism in the spirit that actuated lief ferson county, Arkansas, to walk two miles with Uncle Sam when asked to walk only one.
 That's the way this war will be won, and until ALL of us work, give and sacrifice in the same spirit it won't be won.
 So hats off to Jefferson county, Arkansas!- Philadelphia North Am erican.

GET YOUR SUPPLY OF
 FUEL NOW.

State Fuel Administrator HI. C.. Couch's warning to the people of Ar kansas to lay in their supply of win ter fuel during the summer is not be- ing needed to any extent.
 Those who fail to act on the sug- gestion are very likely to regret their failure next winter.
 It is true that we use natural gas in Pine Bluff, but it is also true that there is no assurance that the supply will be sufficient at all times next winter to provide enough for supply ing the demand resulting from severe cold weather.
 If the gas supply fails we must de- pend upon coal and wood. It is un likely there will be enough of either to fill our needs, if we wait until the crisis. .
 There is enough wood dotting in the woods about Pine Bluff to supply the entire city with fuel turnout the win ter. Coal can be secured during the summer in sufficient quantity to avoid discomfort and suffering in winter.
 The thing to do is to act now. Don't put off until it is too late the business of laying in winter supply of fuel. Better to go to little trou- ble and expense now than to suffer, and pay doctors and druggists bill- undertaker's. too, perhaps-in the winter.

 It will be a reflection upon Pine Bluff if we fail to provide a landing place for Uncle Sam's aviator.s at Eberts' field after Major Frissell commandant, and the fliers there have expressed desire to make Pine Bluff one of the landing stations. There's no commercial value in such sta tion. but it would help in keeping in touch with the war preparations, and to provide site for such station would indicate We are willing to do our part. If we fail, our failure may rise to confront us when we ask fol a plant or industry that will be of great commercial value.

There should be balance struck be-
tween the labor cost of doing the farm
work and the interest on the money
invested In buildings constructed for
the purpose Of reducing this labor
cost.
Practicability consists In proper d.
mansions of stalls, passages, doors,
cutters, hay-raeks, posts, beams, brac-
Ing and other parts. This considera-
ton is that which makes 1t advisable
to consider each building for the par

will profitably maintain. Remember

for the horses and straw for horse

Placing the silo at one corner of the

manner in which the different alleys
branch off and extend in different di-
rectiOns to reach the hangers.
1t would be difficult to build better
