Seven companies in the Quapaw
field have begun a big drive against
the common enemy water. 1t has
been no secret that several companies
along a we'll defined water course be-
tween Quapaw and Douthat have been
whipped by the damp spector thor
oughly and repeatedly, but as they
are supposed to have exceedingly rich
propositions they have never for a
moment thought of giving up. The
matter of concerted action in the mat
ter of pumping has been agitated Tor
some time but on account Of the fact
that two or three companies, while
acknowledging that the movement
will benefit them, refuse to particl-
pate, the drive has been postponed
from time to time. Friday the I'M
perial Development Company, the
Muskogee Lead and Zinc company
the St. Louis Lead and Zinc Company,
the Brinson-K irtley Mining Company
the Lucky Extension Mining COM
pany, the Big Three Mining Company
and the F. G. F. Mining company went
over the top for the greatest pump
ing stunt ever attempted and it is un-
derstood that nothing but uncOndi-
tional surrender will be entertained
for one moment. Five of the COM
NAMES mentioned above have mills
ready to operate and all will go into
commission as soon as the water has
been controlled.

EVERYBODY MUST
 MAKE GARDENS

The following letter, has been re ceived by J. T. Archer, Food Admin istrator of Hot Spring county, which is self-explanatory.
 February 28, 1918
 Hon. County Food Administrators for Arkansas.
 Gentlemen:
 It has come to my knowledge that some planters in Arkansas have re- fused to furnish their tenants with suitable ground for home gardens; 1 have been informed that a great many negroes in the Delta on these plantations are making no prepara- tion whatever for gardening. Any planter refusing ground to his tenants for gardening. or any person in Arkansas failing to make garden this year, where the opportunity is offered and where ground is avail able for that purpose, will Ds regard ed hy the Federal authorities as be- | ing unfriendly and unpatriotic to the United States Government. Hamp Williams, Federal Food Administrator for Arkansas.

WELFARE OF FEDERAL EN-
 PLOYEES IN WASHINGTON

Washington, D. C., March 5, 1918. The Federal Government is not only giving close attention to the matter of the proper housing of it's new appointees in Washington, but the general welfare of the employees is now considered in greater measure than ever before. Many of the young people who have come to Washington for war work are hun dreds, even thousands, of miles from home for the first time in their lives. They are strangers in a strange land, and 1t is not to be wondered at that they become homesick and magnify the troubles that they are bound to meet during the period or adjustment to new conditions. The department heads realize that good clerk must be contented one, and many offices have appointed welfare workers whose business it is to take an un- obstrusive interest in the affairs of the employees and to try to help them with their difficulties. Experiments along this line have had such good results that the number of offices which employ welfare workers is in- creasing.
 Since the war began about 25,O0O employees have been added to the civil service in Washington, D. c. The United States Civil Service Com mission, whose duty it is to recruit this branch of the service, estimates that this calendar year will add an other 20,000.s Stenographers are be- ing appointed in great numbers. There is also need for clerks, both men and women, who are trained in certain special or technical lines, ship draftsmen, mechanical draftsmen and workmen in trades connected with shipbuilding. The representatives of the civil service commission at the post offices in all cities are prepared to furnish definite information and application blanks.

SEVERAL WAR SAVINGS SOCIETIES ORGANIZED

Mir. George R. Wyman of Little Rock who has been here the past two days in the interest of the War Savings and Thrift Stamp campaign has succeeded in arousing a great deal of interest among the people of Malvern and surrounding country in the Baby Bonds" This afternoon he addressed an audience of ladies at the Red Cross room on Main Street. At noon today he addressed large audiences of the workmen at both the Wisconsin 6 Arkansas and Arkansas Land & Lumber Co.'S plants and much enthusiasm was manifested by the men on the proposition to form these savings clubs and loan their savings to the United States Government at four per cent interest. Yesterday a War Savings Society was formed at the Moline Lumber Co.'S. plant. The management of these mills have promised to cooperate in every way to push the sale of these stamps here and elsewhere in the county that Hot Spring County may go lover the top" with her quota next December. MT. Wyman is we'll known travelling salesman who is donating his time for a month in this great cause.
 In the future each Malvern bank will have t'1ese stamps on sale and will be explained to any person who is thinking of investing.
 MT. Wyman leaves today for Hot Springs.

MADE-IN- GERMANY LIES
CIRCULATED in CANADA

Canada is also having trouble with
Made-in-Germany lies calculated to
hinder Canadian food conservation ac-
cording to an official statement re-
ceived from the Canadian food con-
troller by the United States food adj
ministration
The stories bothering Canada are
of the same general character as those
the United States food administra-
tor recently denounced in this coun-
try, such as the ridiculous salt and
blueing famine fakes and the report
that the government would seize
housewives stocks of home canned
goods.
The Canadian food controller esti-
mates that when the people listen to
and pass on such stories, each one
has the power of destruction that lies
in battalion of soldiers.
"Stories without even a vestige of
foundation have been scattered broad
cast" said the Canadian statement.
"Nor have they come to life casually.
They have started simultaneously in
different parts Of the country and in
each instance have been calculated to
arouse public indignation.
"They are insidious, subtle, persist
ent. Bit by bit they dissipate public
trust, the great essential In the work
of food control.
''It lies with every individual to for
bear from criticism; to refrain from
passing on the vagrant and harmful
story, and thus the more effectively
to cooperate in work which is going
to mean more than the majority OF
people yet realize"

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
HELPS PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder-
standing about the bread program in
England. 1t is true that the English
man buys a loaf of bread for less than
an American can, but it is poorer
bread, and the British government is
paying $2OO0OO,OO0 year toward the
cost of it.
Ali the grain grown In Great Brit
ain is taken over by the government
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets at
the prevailing market price. This Is
turned over to the mills by the govern
ment at a price that allows the adul-
terated war bread loaf of four pounds
to sell at 18 cents, the two pound loaf
at cents and the one pound loaf at
cents.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with a larger ex-
traction, the four pound loaf sells for
16 cents:

need BIG HERDS
Eurone's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock at Enormous Rate, Even
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their flocks and
herds in order to meet Europe's ire
mendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward.
The United States food admins
tration reports that American stock
raisers have shown a disposition to
cooperate with the government in in
creasing the nations supply of live
stock.
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9TH
er European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated vir-
tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory approximately 100000
head-were driven behind the German
lines.
But in England-where 100000
acres of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain fields-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One of the
reasons apparently is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September,
$17.76 per 100 pounds; October, SIPS;
November and December, $1608; JAN
larry, $144O. The effect Of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number of cattle as
well as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war;
Where France had 14,8O7, 900 head of
cattle in 1918, she now has only 12,-
341, 300, a decrease of 1876 per cent.
And France is today producing only
one gallon of milk compared to two
and one-half gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because of the lack of necessary feed.
Close study of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Adj
ministration that the future problem
of America lies largely In the produc-
ton of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than in the pro-
duction of cereals for export when
the war will have ceased.

MAKING MEATLESS
DAYS PERMANENT

In the meatless menu there is a fer
tile field for developing new and nour-
ishing dishes, according to e. 81. Niles,
writing in the Hotel Gazette, who be-
lieves that the present shortage Of
meat and fats will not end with the
coming Of peace, but may grow more
acute and continue for five or six
years, thus making 1t worth while to
develop menus of grain, vegetables
and fish on a more or less permanent
basis. Meat can be replaced by cereals
and other protein foods, or may be
served in very small portions as a fla
voring for other food In making up
meatless menus this author finds our
American Creole and southern cuisine
a broad field for Investigation.

CORN WILL WIN
DEMOCRACYSW WAR
Americas Greatest Cereal Crop
Is Now Moving to
Market.
MAINSTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS.
Surplus Wheat of the United States
Has Been Sent to Famine Threat
ened Europe.

Americas great corn crop, exceed
ing 3,OOO,OOO,0OO bushels, will save the
worlds food situation, officials of the
United States food administration be-
lieve.
Corn is the nations best food cereal,
housewives are beginning to realize.
1t contains all the elements needed to
keep the body in state of health and
when used according to the scores OF
tried recipes, especially when COM
bined with an added portion of oil or
fat, will sustain life indefinitely. In
dian warriors in colonial days lived on
parched corn alone for many days at a
time, and at Valley Forge parched
corn was at times the sole ration of
the Continental soldiers.
Owing to transportation difficulties
caused by the war the corn crop moved
more slowly to market this year than
ever before. Now, however, the cereal
Is reaching the millers and consumers.
In the meantime the nations surplus
wheat has been sent to Europe.
Today there are approxim ltely 30
bushels Of corn for every american.
This quantity is greater by five BUSH
els than in former years.
Corn has become the nations main
stay in the crisis of war.
Just as this cereal saved the first
American colonists from famine on
many occasions, just as it served as a
staple food during the War of the Rev
olution and during the Civil War, King
Corn has again come to the front In
the nations battle with autocracy.
Corn meal is finding greatly increas-
ed use in the making of ordinary white
bread. Hundreds of housewives and
many of the larger bakers are mixing
20 per cent. corn meal with wheat
-four to make leavened bread. This
kind of mixture is worked and baked
In the same recipes and with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread
Corn bread-using corn meal entire
ly-is gaining greater popularity
than ever before. Housewives are
coming to realize that every pound of
wheat saved in America means pound
of wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America is associ-
ated in the war.
There are a score of corn products
that today possess unusual Importance
for Americans. Corn syrup for sweet
ening corn cakes and buckwheat cakes
and for use in the kitchen instead of
granulated sugar is one of the leading
products made from corn.
Corn oil, excellent for frying and for
every other purpose filed by salad oils,
Is appearing on the market in large
quantities. 1t comes from the germ of
the corn.

THE UNITED STATES FOOD
ADMINISTRATION SAYS:

There is no royal road to food
conservation. We can only ae-
complish this by the voluntary
action of our whole people, each
element in proportion to its means.
It is matter of equality of bur-
den; a matter of minute saving
and substitution at every point in

000,0o dinner tables, and in the
