"GIVE-YOUR-RUSHEL"

DR.. C. w. Garrison of Lit
tie Rock, was here Thursday
and met with the school di-
rectors of this section of the
county IN the interest of the
"Give-a-Bushe1" movement.
Upon the resignation of Mr..
w. M. Heating of DeView,
Mayor G.. C. McCrory of this
city was appointed chairman
for the Northern district of
Woodruff county. He has al
ready made plans for an &C
tive campaign in each school
district and will put this end
of the county over the top
within short time.
Mr.. McCrory states that in
stead of the people being
asked to donate each year for
five years, they are only asked
to make but one donation-a
bushel of their most abundant
crop, or it's equivalent ii
money.He also authorized us
to state that every dollar
raised in Arkansas will be
used exclusively for Arkansas
soldiers and sailors who have
been disabled during the war.
Every man and woman can
ard should give TO this cause
which is one of the most
worthy and commendable of
any of the war activities. A
list of all who give and the
amounts will be published in
The Home News. Do your
part and help these boys who
sacrificed all for you and yours
and don't wait to be called
upon, but see your school di-
rector as soon as possible.
The quota is equal to three
bushels for each voter in your
school district. If you have
200 voters, your districts quota
is 600 bushels and everyone
is expected to donate the value
of one bushel, or more, and the
fellow who is able to give and
don't is nothing but a Stacker.
