TURN CLOTHING
INSIDE OUT
EFFORT BEING MADE TO PoPu-
LARIZE SECRETARY McADOO'S
CLASSIFICATION OF HALF
SoLED TROUSERS BADGE
OF HONOR.

What the nation has done in the
conservation of food must be done
with respect to clothing, shoes, and
other articles, so that the productive
capacity of the country may be con-
centrated on winning the war
This announcement is made by the
War Industries Board, and special
emphasis is laid upon the possibilities
for nationwide conservation Of
clothes. Not only should men and
women wear old suits as long as pos
sible, it is stated, but the board even
goes sc far as to suggest that after
clothes are worn threadbare on one
side they be ripped up and made over
so that the other side of the material
viii be exposed.
There is no doubt, said a high
official of the War Industries Board,
that a very tremendous saving of
material and labor can be brought
about by nationwide campaign for
conservation in the purchase Of
clothing. Think what a saving it
would be in mems clothing if every
man wore suit, which he ordinarily
would cast aside at the end of a year,
for period of IS months. This
would mean saving of SO per cent
in mems suits. and the same thing
applies to women's clothes.
I'VE have got into the habit of buy
ing new things because they look new
and better than the old In the past,
few people have actually worn gar.
ments OUT
In reply to the question of the eff
feet upon the morale of the people CT
the United States would not be bad
| j. too rigid economy were adopted in
the matter of clothes, the official OF
the board said he did not believe that
phase of the situation should even be
considered.
IF the people of the country take
the position that it is absolutely nee
essary for them to go on wearing the
same kind of clothes and purchasing
just as much new clothing as they did
in peace times, when we were rolling
in wealth and there was no cause for
economy, we will lose the war;" he
stated. Personally | don't believe
many people feel that way about it.
Certainly men do not So long as d
man is clean and neat in his appear
ance. it matters but little whether his
suit is one or two years old. The
American people must realize that the
big job before us today is to win the
war. We can't let little eccentricities
of dress interfere with that We must
econoeize in clothes, and we can
economic. Already we have done
wonders in economies in food
Every family in the United States
is eating war bread today and we are
having millions of bushels of wheat
as result. We can perfect just as
great a saving in clothes "
This same official stated however,
that he did not think that any great
er restrictions should be placed on
the working classes, who because of
higher wages, are able today for the
first time in their lives to get COIN
Portable and needed articles, than are
applied to the more wealthy classes.
The same restrictions should ap-
ply to the very wealthy, he stated, as
are applied to the wage earners. All
should avoid extravaganza and unnec-
essary consumption OF materials as
far as is practicable.

SUPPLY HOGS WITH MINERAL
MATTER AND KEEP

According to the county farm DEM
onstration agents hogs make most eco
nomical gains when they thrive best
Vaccinate your hogs and protect them

ty of mineral matter will help do TINS.
Place charcoal ordinary lime, ashes,
salt and sulphur in separate boxes
where the hogs can get them. They

BIG INCREASE In
BUSINESS FOR 1917

The fiscal year shows the Voss-Bar-
bee Manufacturing Company to have
exceeded the business of the previous
year by 80 per cent. This was made
possible by the exceptionally heavy
business done in the territory, and
several large government contracts
that were turned out by the company
in the spring. From the present in
dieations, the business for 1918 will
show healthy increase over the year
just closed, which will be quite a rec
ord, as the plant was operated night
and day during the past year.

ANOTHER MOVE

20 OF WEATHER HAS MOVED
ONTO PACIFIC COAST WHERE

II Aleiatore, for number Of
wears in charge of the United States
weather Bureau in Little Rock, is now
resident of San Diego, Cal, where
he is dishing up weather, both good
and bad for the moving picture people,
and the tourists who leave home and
mother behind to see for themselves
If California can touch Arkansas.
Although he is no longer a resident
of Arkansas, Mr.. Alciatore continues
IN get his inspiration from the same
old place-he takes The Pulaskian.
The following is letter received
from him this week, and in spite of
the zone ruins of the Postal Depart
ment, the paper will be sent to him
as in the past:
las there is no "Homely Mems
Club" here, / have Joined the Rotar-
ians, very lively congregation.)
San Diego, June 4, 1918.
Land of Rockies, Flowers, Oranges,
Aeroplanes and Sunshine.
To the Parkes and Harpers,
OF Little Rock.
Greetings:
As a result of my spring cleaning
have unearthed document that re-
minds me that it is high time to renew
my subscription to your breezy and
well-informed "Pulaskian", as wife
and cannot do without it, for we
have gotten the habit, as it were,
and there is a world of inertia in
habit.
Your eonfrere of the Mighty Press,
Arthur Brisbane, a wise fellow, has
aptly remarked recently that if city
paper had as many readers in proper
ton &c population as has a country
paper it would have lin New York;
at least 100000 subscribers. Raa-
son: The country paper tells all about
the fellows and the girls we know,
and that is far more interesting to
most of us, lust folks, than a bio
graphical sketch of Trotsky, or an an
nouncement of the wedding of John
Foolishum (age 70) and Anabel Need
EN- tage 17), the latter news being
as good as dose Of ipecac.
Your erstwhile prognosticator is
still asthmatie, alas, but in other re-
spects he is feeling like a Lonoke
county fighting cock, and wishes you
health and prosperity.
Hasta luego, amigos MICS,
II. f. Alciatore.

GROCERY COMPANY
PAYS RED CROSS BILL

When the war drive of the Red
Cross was entered into the national
committee made it very plain that
every cent subscribed must be ac-
counted for in war work. This meant
that if there was expense in any To-
cality in raising the fund, that ex-
pense must be paid by the community
for the Red Cross went to the people
with the statement that it cost moth
ing to raise the fund, and every cent
would be spent in war work.
In Little Rock an expense of $671
was encountered, and this was very
promptly paid by the Plunkett-Jarrell
Grocer Company, which had agreed to
assume any Indebtedness of the Cars
paign.

RAILROAD TICKET
WONDERFUL THING
PASSENGERS WHO RIDE IN PULL
MAN NOW GET PLENTY OF PA
PER EVEN IF THEY MAKE
ONLY A SHORT TRIP

Ticket agents for Uncle Samaers
railroads began Monday a merry
round that has shattered the dream
many had of eternal bliss in a land
where there is nothing but sushine.
the streets are paved with gold, AMI
the streams flow with milk and honey.
The ticket agent who won't cuss when
he makes out ticket under the new
regulations, has an adding machine or
is genius at the mathematical game.
on walk into the ticket office now
and buy a ticket to Chicago provia-
ing the government has left you that
amount after paying the excess on the
various commodities of life Before
Monday you paid at the rate of three
cents per mile in Arkansas, and ac-
eording to the state rates as you pass
ed through them. Now it is three
cents per mile and you pay for the
route you take. There is no compu-
tation according to the shorter route.
You pay for every mile you ride, ana
then if you ride in Pullman you add
half cent for every mile. IL you
travel in tourist sleeper you pay n
quarter cent per mile addition, but
they do not operate tourist cars in this
section, except on troop trains. This
will hardly apply to civilians, for when
they cease to become civilians they
pass out of the three cent class. and
pay one cent per mile.
The ticket bears an additional slip ,
to show that the holder has paid Tor
the privilege of riding in Pullman
car.
We all know now what to expect on
passenger rates, but the increase IN
freight rates is yet only threat Ia
is coming, but hardly in the rurnored
amount of increase. Reports have had
the Arkansas rates going up all the
way from so to 500 per cent They
will probably be increased, but hardly
in any such amounts, and when in
creases are made they will not be out
of line with those in other sections
If reports would be believed Little
Rock was already out of the market
class, but the government has never
shown disposition to be unfair 70.

one over the other This will take
care of Little Rock, for as long as we
get an even break that is all we Gx-
pect, for that is several lengths ahead
of any of it's competitors. IL rates
are promulgated that are considered
out of line, they will be immediately
rectified If that contention can be es-
tablished with the rate makers in
Washington.
As far as rates are concerned, Lit
tie Rock is not going to cry until she
is hurt.
