THE NEED OF THE HOrR"

Our country entered this war to fight for personal liberty of every down trodden nation, as well as to preserve our own freedom, and our success depends, not alone upon our army, but upon every phase of our industrial life to sustain our army and just now the shortage of skilled office workers is very serious and will grow worse unless the young ladies and the young men who are too young or physically unable or otherwise ex- empt from war duty realize that it IS their duty to acquire a business training immediately to come to the rescue of both the government and commercial organizations. Read the following announcement which speaks for itself. Washington, July 10.-

TRYING TO WHIP JUDICIAL
 ARTICLE INTO SHAPE

Little Rock, Aug. 7.-The constitu tional convention is attempting to whip the judicial article into shape, and since I majority of the delegates are lawyers they find that it is not an easy matter to reconcile every body's views and arrive at solution that will satisfy all the members.
 The court is to consist of seven members, and they may sit in depart ments or en banc.
 Provision is made for the hearing of a case on banc, should the decision of a department not be satisfactory.
 Amendments were adopted to pro vide that the two additional justices shall be elected at the first general election after the adoption of the constitution. and that in the interim there shall be no vacancy to be filled by appointment or special election.
 It was provided that a justice of the supreme court shall have been a resident of the state eight years in- stead of two as proposed by the com mittee. and that a prosecuting at torney shall have been resident of the state six years instead of two. A resolution by Mr. McRae was adopted that "The supreme court may by general rules and regulations assign the circuit judges to other dis tricts than those in which they reside. "
 Mr. J G. Ferguson secured the adoption of an amendment striking from the paragraph providing the qualifications for prosecuting attor- neys, the words "at least twenty-eight 1 years of age, licensed lawyer in l actual practice at least four years. . i for the benefit of younger lawyers who have, in some instances been nominated, and who are equally cap able of serving.

The United States government needs, and needs badly, great number of stenographers and typewriters, both men and women, for service in the departments at Washington, D, C., and the situation in federal offices outside of Washington is scarcely less urgent. The supply of qualified per sons on the commissions list for this class of work is not equal to the de- mand, and the commission urges, as a patriotic duty, that citizens with this special knowledge apply fir eX- animation for the government ser vice. At present all who pass the examination for the departmental ser vice are certified for appointment, eX- animation papers are rated without delay. Examinations for the depart mental service in Washington, D. C., for both men and women are held every Tuesday in our city.

POTATOES ROT BY IMPROPER STORAGE
Storage Houses Should Be Built to Keep Your Sweet Potatoes To
 Best Advantage.
By J, s. Knox, Horticulturst, Exten sion Division, |. of A.

Because of improper storage many of our farmers lost their whole cTor of sweet potatoes this past Winrer That this is true is evidenced by the fact that many bushels of rotten DO tatoes can be seen lying in the ditches near the farm homes. With our coun try at war and a possibility of fOOG shortage facing Us for the coming win ter, it is necessary that every possible effort be made to stop this unneCes sary waste of this important food crop. In some cases this past winter Individual farmers lost enough sweet potatots to have paid for a small stOr age house of 800 bushels capacity Several of the farmers who built stor age houses last fall have written the Agricultural Extension Division. stat. .ng that they had from 800 to soc bushels of seed potatoes for sale These sold easily for g. per hushel and one farmer said he could easily have sold zoos bushels al that price if he mad grown the potatoes and stored them.
 It matters not whether you are a large grower of sweet potatoes ol whether you have only an acre for nome use, a small storage house oi from 200 to 300 bushels capacity will easily pay for itself in a few yeas It is true that, if properly cared for potatoes can be stored successfully ir small quantities in the bank or pit but il is so hard to get this work done exactly right for all conditions Of weather that il k considered by all authorities to be far better to builC As temperature. moisture, etc. can be 1egulajed as desired
 The storage house alone will not in sure our potatoes against decay. but We mus also observe carefully the fol. lowing factors: CD Al the time ol harvest use every possible care tC avoid the bruisine of the po,atocs Throwing potatoes 10 pile across several rows or other rough treatment ls sure to break the skins on them ir such q way as to make the entrance of disease germs much easier. Earll this spring the writer was in storage house where some 10000 bushels oi sweet potatoes had been stored over winter The storage man had han dled all of his crop carefully except those iu one hin-With these he haC used no special care 10 prevent buiS -ns. Potatoes in this bin had at least une-fourth Of the potatoes with decay while Tn the other bins not 1 per cent were dtcaying They had all been u the same storage house under exactly the same conditions @ Do not stor, diseased potatoes. If any signs of dis ease can be seen al digging time it is far better to feed these potatoes tC hogs or even throw them away thar 70 place in storage with good potatoes They will not only rot themsclve but will cause others to rot (3D See
