NEW DRAFT AGES
 IB 10 45 YEARS
Coming, After Sept. 5, An
 other Registration.

Early in September 100000 men between the new draft ages of IS and 21 and 31 and 45 will register for such service as the Government may call upon them to perform.
 It will be the greatest mobiliza- tion of man power ever undertaken in the world
 Provost Marshal General Crowder says to all State, County and Local Councils of Defense, q want to have every flag flying and every band playing on Registration Day"
 He is counting upon every County and Community Council to insure the army and nation 100 per cent regis tration.
 All the machinery for the new draft is being prepared in advance, so that there may be no delay or confusion in the orderly application of the new Selective Service law,
 Each community is called upon to arrange to make Registration Day a day of solemn patriotic celebration; to have the bells rung, to have all flags flying and to make use of bands and patriotic music wherever possi- ble.
 It is suggested that Community Council and patriotic meetings be held, and speakers provided to lay this information before the people, that they may be fully advised of the requirements of the nation in this hour of crisis.
 Special meetings for negroes. and foreign-born groups should be held wherever necessary to explain to whe ever necessary to explain to them their duty. Every individual in the remotest sections of Arkansas, as well as throughout the nation, must be reach ed with an irristable apeal to his patriotism and his conscience, and the Government is relying largely upon the Council of Defense system to secure this result.

Dear Mr. Folsom:-The above letter was received by a friend of mine, from a French Made moiselle. It shows very plain ly that she tried to write in English from the dictionary. It shows how anxious the French people are to learn the English language. And it shows, too, what a mix-up one makes in try | ing to write a different language from the dictionary, suppose we would do just as bad trying to write a French letter by the dictionary.
 If this meets your approval you may publish it in your paper.
 With all good wishes for you and the ARGUS, and all the Brinkley people, l am

 "I suppose you would like to know what l am doing. I'm just building ships. Its my old trade, l began when was old enough to handle a jack knike and run away from home.
 These boats are bliit on the same lines as the Pal Myra, have five mAsts and a bow sDrit, double fun nel. double engines, double boilers, twin screw. They gre both steam and sail, have electric lights and wireless, two anti-submarine guns, one forward and the other aft. They are 8 wonderful combination of the old sailing schooner and modern freight vessel. They are graceful and very beautiful in the water. Every chest in the yard (4O0O of them) swell with pride as one goes steaming past and they all give three cheers and the vessel answers with three toOts
 These vessels all go to the French government. When they leave the skids they fly the French flag on the stern and the American flag on the bow. They slide in stern first. AS soon as one vessel leaves the skid the keel Is laid for the next. They cannot afford to wait ten minutes. We have already launched eight boats and will soon launch another"
