Want to Mobilize
Russian Army Here

Permission has been asked of Presi-
dent Wilson to allow recruiting of Rus
slpns in America for an army TO fight
the German invasion and save the Rus
sian revolution.
Although the telegram sent to the
President is signed by Nicolai Hour
wich, secretary of the recently organ
lied Bolshcvik convention in New
York, there is no objection to the prin-
ciple involved even by the anti-Bol-
shevik factions. The revolution must
be saved, they all agree.
German invaders have drawn to-
gcther hitherto rreconcilable factions
of the Russian colony. The Teuton
army marching on Pctrograd has put a
fighting spirit in the hearts of the most
pacific of New York Russians.
No reply has yet been received to the
following telegram addressed to Pres-
dent Wilson Monday night:
"The executive committee of the
first united Russian convention in
America desires to urge the Russian
cltlzens residing in the United States
or America and not subject to the
draft under the selectve service act
OF May l8, 1917, to enlist in the army
OF revolutionary Russia to fight
against the German invaders.
An appeal to Russian citizens en-
Titled to assist revolutionary Russia
has been printed by us, and meetings
arc to be held with the object of or.
ganizing Russian legion for the de-
fence OF the revolution in Russia
I'VE respectfully request you to
ADVISE US by wire whether we may
lawfully do so.

sian st newspaper, Of which Gregory

The Carlisle independent., 1918-07-25

It was this vision of the future, as ten years ago that inspired the formation of the local stock company making possible the great impetus given the rice growing industry of this state. The erection of the great plant started the farmers to planting rice as never before. They saw that business men believed in the possibil- ities of rice growing to such an ex- tent that they were ready to back up the proposition by putting their money into such venture, and then they did their part by putting their land into the venture, and each year has but added to the reality of the vision of the far-seeing promoters of the big mill that is now producing so many carloads of Arkansas fancy rice and by-products each season and putting into circulation an almost fabulous sum of money through the farmers and employees of the mill.
 Under the general superintendency of P. M. Lyons, of the Arkansas State Rice Milling Company the policy of the mill at Carlisle, as of all the other mills under his control, is one of proressive advancement along all lines, including not only the con duct of the mill to the best econom- ical and dividend bearing advantage, but with view to the promotion of the general prosperity of the farming population of the state, through the encouragement of the proper and most profitable methods of growing rice, and the insistence that more acreage should be put in the cultiva- ton of this one never-failing crop.

When you enter the Dairymen's Bank, you find yourself on dem ocratic ground, for the officers of that institution believe that bank courteous treatment to each GUS toner, large or small, and one of the striking peculiarities of this certain bank, is the fact that the men in charge practice what they preach y
 The Dairymen's Bank of Carlisle has stood the test and served the public for fifteen years, through financial panics as we'll as in pros porous times, and its customers have always been accommodated to the fullest extent possible. One of the most pleasing results of this expe- rience is seen in the remarkable growth of the business, which is ad mitted to be on a par with, if not setting record for, any bank in the state with a capital stock of less lHdH 4ZO,uVU.OU.
 The management of the bank promises all those who are not already acquainted with the manner in which the public is treated by this institution, the very best of personal service based upon high and cor -erv- ative business principles, welcoming small accounts as well as large ones.
 Cashier Cameron is always ready to give his personal attention to any matter.in in which a person may be in terested and he is well able to advise those desiring to place their money to the best advantage, of opportu- mites that may offer good returns.

 Modern methods of handling the banking business of the world are continually bringing into use more effective means of accomplishing the results demanded of a good financial institution in the transac- ton of the great volume of confiden- tial business entrusted to the concern by its patrons and in this respect the bdnk or OarlfSle mas been keeping abreast the times. The latest and most accurate methods in accounting have been adopted and the best of modern mechanical aids are en- ployed.
 The active management of the bank is in the hands of A. B. Cameron, who through his conserv- ative and sane policy, progressive ideas and belief that bank should serve the public as well as make profits for its stockholders, has gained the good will of the entire community and greatly added to the amount of business of the institution.
The Carlisle independent., 1918-07-25

of the organization has always been of the very best, and the conduct of the affairs generally entrusted to such an institution has always been on the highest and most profitable basis.
 The following are the officers and directors of the bank at present: C. H. Buhl, president; C. C. Hummel, viee-president; \. B. Cameron, cashier; J. L. Wcosley, assistant cashier, with D. B. Perkins, N. A. Berry, C. H. Buhl and c. c. Hummel, directors.
 The Dairymen's Bank has been closely identified with the promotion of the rice growing industry in this section, the stockholders personally doing all in their power by example and encouragement to secure the planting of as large an acreage as possible, while the bank has been ever ready to accommodate as far as consistent with business principles, all those needing financial assistance in furthering the industry.
 The dairy interests of the section have also been greatly indebted to the management of the bank for large part of their growth, as the bank has always been ready at all times to get back of any proposition that appeared to be for the benefit of the community.
 The wonderful confidence placed in the management~of the bank is we'll illustrated by a recent financial statementTas it shows that with a capltSI stock of only S1O,00O.O0, the

 In order to have suitable home in which to transact the business of the bank, and safe depository for the peoples money and securities, one of the first acts of the directors was the construction of the splendid brick building in which the institution is now housed. It is needless to say that since the very inception of the business, the bank has enjoyed not only the confidence of the people in Carlisle and surrounding country, but their cooperation in the efforts of the management to make the bank one of the most representative institutions of the kind in central Arkansas

  May F1an-Ug@

When the Arkansas State Rice Milling Company, at first Q local stock concern, opened its big rice mill in Carlisle nine years ago under the management Of E. B. Roy, the company headed a movement that gave the rice growing interests of the county that wonderful impetus which has resulted in the great in- crease in the number of rice farms and the acreage being planted in this county and adjacent sections, and the s1 ,400,00 cash money now be- ing paid to the farmers selling their rice to the mill is a very convincing argument as to the value of the great concern to Carlisle.
 While the farmers throughout this entire section have come to know the company as one Of the best to sell to and as ore Of the big in- dustries of the country, it is possible that all who have been selling to the mill have not realized that it is the largest Rice Mill in the state of Arkansas. The mill, erected nine years ago, occupies a convenient site on the Rock Island tracks immediate ly west of the business section of the town, and consists Of modern three story building, as finely equipped as any rice mill in the United States, prepared to work to capacity the year round. The capacity of the plant is
