This ENTERTAINMENT
SHOULD DRAW A CROWD
Howard p. Spedden And Samuel w.
Linthicum, Clairmen of Entertain
ment Committee That VIII Cook,
Wait on Table And Prevent WO-
men From Taking.

There is going to be an oyster
supper at Spedden's Hall, the Neck
district, Thursday night of this week
that should be the largest attended
affair of it's kind ever held in the
county. All candidates, or Would-be
candidates; all bachelors aud widow
ers, all young girls, older girls,
bachelor" girl; and torlorn widows
should be present; mothers, too,with
marriageable daughters, should not
fail to be on hand, for this is going
to be an event.
Last winter, owing to the cpl
demic of influenza and pneumonia
which swept the Neck district, like
all other sections of the county, pub
lie worship was temporarily banned
in the district, and to make up for
the shortage in funds, the ladies of
the church held a number of very
successful festivals, and now the
men are coming to the front.
The men of these two churches,
Beckwith and Spedden's, under the
very able leadership of Messrs. Sam
uel W. Linthicum, chairman of the
Beckwith Committee, and Howard
P Spedden, chairman of the Sped
den's Committee. propose to hold an
oyster supper Thursday night of this
week, at which all the work will be
done by the men, the entertainment
being in honor Of the women of the
two churches. The men will do the
cooking, serving, washing up, pay all
the bills, and will not even permit
the women to talk-beside thi sat
tempt, the Kaiser's ambition for
world power is as a single drop Of
water compared with Niagara Falls.
There is no doubt the people will
come from every direction 10 attend
and if these men can accomplish
these things-especially the feat OF
not permitting the women to talk
there is no telling what the future
holds for them.

and 30 minutes, covering distance
of about n miles. j.. Z

patrol duty at Ell Paso, Texas.
The former soldiers all testified
that their membership in the guard

them at the Ford plant. All said they
were given their old positions or bet

the case of one who was still under

received SIS day in the Ford adver-
tising department, while his pay as
first lieutenant, and later as cap-

$50 month more than his civilian
Job. Captain Sheffield said that he
had been assured of reinstatement
at the Ford plant when he wanted it,
and the wounded man, Truman
O'Brien, said he had similar assur-
ance. This testimony was designed to
refute the allegation in the alleged
libel that Ford had said he would not
reinstate men who went to war.

AN INCREASE IN
PEANUT ACREAGE
URGED BY EXPERTS
Agricultural Men Say Crop
Will Be Big Benefit
to State.

The Importance of peanuts as a
farm crop in Arkansas is recognized
by the agricultural authorities and
the university extension division
urges an increased acreage Of this
crop for the following reasons:
/. Feed is of first Importance.
2. Peanuts make feed for horses,
mules, cattle, hogs, sheep, goats, and
poultry, besides is an important pro-
duct for human food.

fields; twenty to thirty bushels Of
nuts and half to one ton of hay per
acre.

not available.
10. Peanuts can be used to take
the place of cowpeas and soybeans.

if hogged off or harvested and fed to
live stock and the manure placed back
on the land. However, it will not in
crease soil fertility if both fruit and
hay are sold off of the place.
IL. Peanuts will make profit
