First Team Wins Over Second

On Tuesday night the local basket ball boys played the first game on their indoor court at Perkins Lumber yard, the first team opposing the second. In the first half the Regulars were combatted strongly, the score being 19 to II in favor of Regu lars. In the second half the sec ond team offered less resistance probably due to lack of practice and encouragement from specta- tors. The game terminated in a victory for the Regulars, the score being 42 to 19.
 There was a full house present which shows that the people of Carlisle are interested in the school The boys will play a lumber of games in the near flu ture and they will appreciate the patronage of the town.

Every Farmer Should Buy War Saw
 ingS Stamps

Arkansas farmers have been accused of not being awake to the seriousness of the situation and the fact that we are in a world war to protect our homes and our children. To carry on this war the government must have mon ey. This money will be supplied from taxes collected, but of course the money cannot all be secured in a few months from taxes; consequently, our govern ment must borrow money until the taxes can be collected The War Savings stamps gives every one an opportunity to lend mon ey to the government When you buy stamps of any denomination you lend the money you pay for that stamp to the government. The stamp simply shows you have lent that money and it is as good as gold The government guarantees to repay you with in terest. Certainly we can all lend the government some money in the fight to protect our homes. We must do it, even if we have to sacrifice
 Every farmer in this county should buy at least ope 25c stamp for every day in the year, and it would be a good plan if the lead CTS in each neighborhood would follow the example of folks in other counties, that is, circulate petition throughout each town ship in the county. These peti- tions should be passed from per son to person until every individ- ual in each township has had an opportunity to sign them, saying that they pledge themselves to buy 25c War Savings stamp each day for the year 1918. There may be d number of cases where people cannot save this much. However, every man should put his name on the paper with his neighbors signifying his inten- tion to support the government to the best of his ability, even if he has to do without all luxuries during the period of war. After these petitions are fully signed | they should be deposited at the County Courthouse as a memen- to to the residents of this county who will help to make the War Savings Campaign a success.
