 Little Rock, Aug. 20.-It appears zren the record that Arkansas is 1lIaking { much better showing in the
 s. Employment Service registra- tjon than some of the other states. D 1T. Reynolds, head of the publicity aeryice at Washington, wires:
 The big labor jam has come and fhe final tabulations of labor de- znands show present shortage of one million unskilled laborers in war
 Industries, with the tremendous addi- tional shortage coming as soon as the new army draft expansion increases the need for supplies. The skilled la bor situation is equally serious. Georgia was notified yesterday that unless the state could furnish the eight million dollar picric acid plant 1t Brunswick with five thousand la borers at once, the entire construc- tion force would be laid off and the plant moved out of Georgia. The Midvale steel plant at Coatesvill, Pa, has been forced to shut down part of its plant for lack of labor"

James HarVey and family spent Saturday and Sunday among rela- tives near Jonesboro. They were de- 'layed several hours on their return near Grubbs because of the heavy rain that visited that section and did not arrive home until in the night. Jack Ramsey accompanied them in the capacity of "shoffer.'
 . Hubert Burkhalter returned home last Friday from Mississippi, after an extended visit among relatives in that state.
 Mrs. Pearl Jessup left Monday af- ternoon for Little Rock, where she will visit during the next fortnight.
 Miss. Maude I've of Battle Axe is here this week visiting among her many relatives.
 Monday, September 16th, has been chosen as the date for the opening of the public school here, provided the rooms on the lower floor of the new school building have been completed at that time. There are still some vacancies to be filled to complete the teaching faculty, but this will proba- ply be done within the next few days. Our people are expecting much of the next session and this result can be obtained only by the entire coop 'eration of pupils and patrons with the teachers. With the new building which will provide sufficient seating capacity, new course of study which broadens the scope of work, strong corps of teachers who will work un- der the direction and supervision of one of the best and most successful educators in the state, and twelve mill school-tax which will provide a sufficient amount of revenue to main tain it, Tuckerman should have one of the best schools in the state. The conditions mentioned are doing much to stimulat the population of of our 
 town Residences are very much in demand just now and people from different parts of the county would locate here if they could only pro- cure homes. It is very unfortunate that the town cannot add this desir- ed citizenship to it's population just now because of the lack of homes.
 This section of the county was vis- tied by a good ain last Sunday after noon. The extemely dry and hot weather of the past month has done very serious damage to all growing crops. The recent rain will revive and stimulate some of 1t but little good will result to much of it. The cotton crop has been cut half and the corn crop is shorter than In several years past Only a high price for cotton and seed will give this section an average income from it's farming interests.
 The protracted services by the Baptist people will begin next Sun day. Rev. l.. O. Bauer, who has held several protracted meetings here in the past will be in charge.

If you have chair or small table, a desk, large or small that you could lend for a time to the county nurse, will you let Mrs. Will Campbell know about it? We expect the nurse by September 1st. This is the biggest move forward that the county has ever taken and will result in immeas- urable benefit to the whole commun- ity. We must have her office ready for her and do our part to make her feel we are individually interested. She is doing public work but it will be only as good as we help her make it-and it is work for us, not her. She comes with the best of recom- mendation. Her husband is fighting for this country and she is going to do her part in trying to make things better here at home. Lend a hand and give her every help you can at arf times.

PATRIOTISM ON the
AMERICAN FARM
BACK TO THE LAND

I'VE can count 70 the utmost degree
on the patriotism Of the American
farmer" Herbert Hoover said IN a 70.
cent conference with Food Administers
ton workers OF the different states.
This was the message brought back
by the Kentucky representative who
attended the conference.
Food must FIRST be raised before u
can be sent 70 American soldiers
abroad and their English, French. Bel
gian and Italian associates In war.
The only peopio who can raise food in
large quantities are the farmers, and
the Kentucky soldiers at Hattissburg
and Camp Zachary Taylor are counting
on the folks back home producing the
largest food crop In the history Of the
state.
People who live in cities and small
towns In Kentucky are asked 10 help
win the war By raising their own back
yard gardens. Every time q city fam.
lily raises a bushel Of beans in a garden
the Food Administration Ia enabled to
take a Sushel OF beans from the farm
and send them to Europe Gardeners
are urged to raise enough beans and
potatoes 10 last all next winter. and TO
store them on their own premises.
The Food Administration announces
that the entire country east OF the
Mississippi River would have been
short OF potatoes this last winter ex.
cept for this home aupply raised in
gardens last year. but because they
were raised In gardens potatoes today
are plentiful and one OF the cheapest
foods In the market. and every one
should use them freely The man who
ran raise a garden this year. and does
not do so. will not only fail to help
win the war. but viii be In actual
danger Of himself suffering for food
next winter.

will continue until every one OF the

refused 10 do 80. In some OF the coun.

counties everybody knows that those
whose names are not printed are not
trying TO win the war and are not good
