 Arkansas is doing it's share, as 1t has done from the first and will con- tinue to do notwithstanding the unfor- tunate crop conditions that prevail throughout the state.

FARMING HINTS.
nROuTH STUNTED SORGHUM CUT AND WELL CURED NOT
 POISONOUS.

Drouth stunted sorghum is more than likely to be poisonous to live stock and therefore should not be nastured. Such sorghum should be cut for hay. When the hay is well cured the poisonous properties will have disappeared and the hay can be fea without danger. During the last few weeks many losses in the state have been reported as a result of past,tring stock on drouth stunted sorghum.

WATCH OUT FOR FIRES ON THE
 FARM.

The dry weather has increased the number of fires considerably in the state. Keeping straw and rubbish away from the barns, grainaries, and sheds will lessen the danger of fire, and in many cases keep 1t from spreading. Remember that in erecting new buildings they should be kept fair distance apart. A tank with a number of buckets should be kept always at hand and ready.

One of the strongest evidences of this is the splendid support that is be- ing given the Give-a-Bushel War Fund, that great movement which or iginated in Cleveland county, and IS attracting the attention of many oth- CT states, from Vermont to California. Also, to the response that is being made to the call for contribution of $1O0000 for a girls detention home; to the ready compliance with the reg ulations of the fuel and food admin istrations to the point of actual sacri- flee.
 Another notable instance of patriot ic endeavor is the organization of county and community councils of de- fense in conjunction with the work of the State Council of Defense. Ev- cry county in the state is organized, with more or less active councils.
 The organization of counties into community councils, is proceeding most satisfactorily, with the school district as the ultimate unit. The fol- lowing counties have already reported nominations of community chairmen: Benton, Carroll, Craighead, Garland, Greene, Grant, Hampstead, Indepen- denee, Jackson, Lafayette, Little Riv CT, Miller, Newton, Prairie, Randolph, Scott, Sebastian, Sevier, Sharp, Union and Washington.
 The organization of other counties is being urged, with the intention of having every county in the state com nletcly organized by the first of the year.
 Then every citizen in each school district is being enrolled n the Com munity Council, eing asked to sub- scribe to the following oath:
 Il hereby enro,l as member of the Community Coua,i! for z ------r.- = School District of he --- Cou ,i'. Council Of Defense, an9 pledge nl y- self to be faithful and active in the performance of my duties, to be loyal and patriotic to my County, State and Nation, and to support their efforts to bring the great allied world war to a victorious conclusion for America and her allies.
 Occasionally, some one is found who refuses to sign this oath. A rec ord Is made of his name, and the County Chairman is sent after him. If he will not listen to reason, he is con sidered as one worthy of the most careful surveillance. He must not be dealt with violently, but there are means of popular condemnation that will reach him much more effectively

MAINTAIN ROADS WITH DRAG
No Better or Cheaper Way Of Keeping
Highways in Good Order Than
by Using Implement.

Road dragging is so simple an under
taking, providing the road to be drag
ged is first graded, drained and shaped
properly, that summary of its benc-
fits cannot be presented too often.
writes George B. Harrison in Farmers
Mail and Breeze. Anyone can make

instruction at the beginning. A 10.
inch or 12-inch log between 8 and 9
feet long or two 3 by IL planks with
. by 6 reinforcing strips of the same
length. four cross sticks. chain.
boards for the platform and metal
wearing strip are certainly procurable
anywhere.
The theory in road dragging which
has proved practicable for road i'm
provemcnt is to smooth and shape up
the puddled earth Of a road to fill the
ruts and holes and force the water off
the roadway. "Puddled" earth on a
road is the wet earth which has been
worked up by traffic so that it is dense
and when compacted will not let the
water seep away. If this compacting
is done without any direction ruts and
holes appear and hold the water and
make a bad road. But if the puddled
earth be spread smoothly over the sur
face of the road with somewhat of a
rounded effect it dries firm and hard.

GOOD
ROADS
IMPORTANCE OF WAGON ROAD
One Drawback to Fall of Rain 1s That
Roads Are Made impossible
for Several Days.

But for one fact, all of us could re-
joice in this rain, meaning as much
as it does to the growing crops. The
one drawback is the unfortunate fact
that the rain will make the roads al
most impossible for several days. But
the rain is not to blame for this state
of affairs. We are. We ought to have
roads on which the only effect of rain
would be to wash them clean-just as
it does with the city pavements. And
it's not for the joy-riders alone that
we need such roads, says Wichita
Eagle. If we had good roads, farmers,
who can't work in their fields after q
rain, could do their hauling on such
days. Now the rain that prevents
working the fields prevents hauling to
market, except light loads, and at a
prohibitive cost. The wagon haul OF
agricultural products is infinitesimal in
distance, as compared with the rail
ami water haul, yet it costs actually
more, according to government sta
tistics. For the benefit of the farmer
we need good roads.

Early Submarines.

The modern submarine is the result
of the slow development of IN idea
and the cumulative work Of many in
ventors. Successful experiments iC
submarine navigation were made con-
siderably more tlian 100 years ago. In
1747 the Gensleman's Magazine, a Lon
don periodical, published Il picture OF
submarine boat that was being OPP
Grated on the Thames. 1t was invent
ed by an Englishman named SymOns.
Between 1913 and 177G an American
named Bushnell built submarine boat
which was used in actual warfare, but
with little or no effect. 1t embodied
some of the features of the modern
submarine. Between 1896 and 1910
Robert Fulton. American inventor of
the steamboat, built several subma-
rines which served to demonstrate the
feasibility of underwater navigation,
but he died before completing his ex-
periments. Experiments and inven-
tons continued in several different
countries until the present fighting
machine was developed.
