There is an imperitive need at present
for thousands Of new men for our Navy.
These are needed to take the places of
the men who served the United States

work of the Naval Service is not yet

Those persons who heard Lieutenant

Lakes Naval Training Station band at
the Station and when it was travelling
through the country during the Liberty

Much Damage to Rice

Ire heavy rains of last week did much damage to the rice that has not been harvested. Many of the rice farm CTS were taking every advantage of the fine weather that prevailed before that time and were in the midst of their threshing when stopped by the rain which filled the fields full of water making it impossible to get in them for several days. Some of our largest grow CTS had just begun threshing and will be the heaviest losers in the quantity of grain but If they will not hurry mat ters too much when they Set started again and let their rice get thoroughly dry before threshing it they will make up considerable of their loss in the price they will receive for their crop when delivered in good condition. A handful
 of damaged rice will sometimes lower the grade of an entire sack and the price will be lowered in accordance.
 It does not pay to get in too big a hurry and spoil good thing and many of our rice farmers know this by exper- fences that have cost them much money.

Arkansas Counties Released From Fede
 ral Cattle Tick Quarantine

Washington. D, C November 3o.-in accordance with an order issued by the Bureau of Animal Industry of the |. x. Department of Agriculture, the Federal quarantine against the cattle fever tick will be removed on December 1 from the following area in Arkansas: Arkansas, Cleveland, Drew, Howard, Little River. Lincoln. Pike, Polk and SeYier counties: the remainder of Prai- rie and Pulaski counties; and portions of Clarke. Miller, Saline and White counties By the same order the quar- antine is replaced on St. Francis coun- ty and portions of Conway and Faulkner counties.
 This means that S,130 square miles in Arkansas have been cleaned of ticks sufficiently this year to justify the re- moyal of the Federal quarantine. Eighty per cent of the State is now free of the Federal restrictions. The area remaining under quarantine totals 10,63s square miles.
 Effective work was done in Ashley Hampstead and Perry counties this year but in some of this territory the work began late in the season and it will be year. Scott and Montgomery counties necessary to complete the work next have arranged to begin systematic work in 1920, and it is thought probable that other counties will appropriate funds this winter so they can begin work ear ly next spring.
 The Arkansas releases are part Of 50,555 square miles cleaned up this yea 5O,555 square miles cleaned mp this year in all the tick-infested States. Ihd campaign against the tick gives reasonS
