spending dates.
The right hand Of the clerk which
administers this stamping process. has
to travel a distance of from foot to
eighteen inches between the stamping
pad and the book or the document.
In dry weather the ink becomes drier
and the supply on the stamp must be
replenishod once for every two or three
stampinEs. sometimes for each indi-
vidual stamping, but in moist weather
like that which has obtained the past
two weeks. one dabbinE on the ink pad
supplies the stamp with enough ink
for eight or ten stampings. This being
the case. the hand of the stamper does
not have to travel to the pad and back
SO often as the ratio of / to s. nj
least.
So, figuring II out MS to travel dis
lance for the hand of the clerk. he
saves five slsths OF the times his

the wet weather has saved n travel

BOBB CREEK CANAL

The Bobb Creek is one OF the big
irrisating canals OF the Arkansas VAL

but the gates were so clogged UP with
debris that they could not he closed

the region on its own account. and
among other results was the washing
out of the county road bridge across
IT, which said bridge heretofore pro-
vided means OF travelling the road
leading TO the Boone bridge across
the Arkansas river.
The river bridge at Boone was
washed away, new channel WINS also
cut. and a section of the valley road
way was also taken: all this makes
necessary the building of three
bridges to get across the river at
Boone.
Contract to do this work has been
awarded to the Pueblo Bridge and
Construction company. and that COM
pany finds II necessary to get its ma
terial and machinery to the sitca of
the new bridges from the north side.

BUREAU OF WAR
 RISK INSURANCE

One of the first official acts of General John J.

 This order, General Order No. 27, issues the following instructions to practically the entire Army:

RECRUITING A PUBLIC
 SCHOOL ARMY

Now that peace has been de- clared with the Central pow CTS, a greater and more con- structive army is being re- cruited in Arkansas for the purpose of promoting the greater efficiency of the pub lie school system.
 This is being done through the agency of the Forward Education Movement, which has undertaken to enroll every teacher in Arkansas, as we'll as 25,0OO citizens in far reaching campaign designed to provide equal opportunities for every boy and girl in Ark ansas, whether in the special city districts or the small rural district.
 Already, State Director J. J. Harrison reports 100 per cent enrolment of the teachers in Polk, Baxter, Monroe and Ran dolph counties, and many others approaching this goal.
 The Central Committee of 100 is promptly reporting the lists of actuaal workers in the various counties, the purpose being to enlist not fewer than 1000 men and women who will begin work at once of securing members for the organization.
 Later, it is the purpose of the Citizens Section, which is directing this great movement, to make an appeal to civic or ganizations, such as Rotary, the Lions Club, Civitan, Xii wanis, and similar groups for a 100 per cent enrolment of their members, and to all who comply with this request a special certificate will be issued.
 To open the public schools to all and hereby reduce to a minimum the amount of illit- eracy is the mission of those who are promoting the move ment.
 The importance of the pub lie schools is shown in the fol- lowing paragraph from let ter by E. w. Gates, the Cros- sett lumberman:
 "As employer of thousand men or more for great many years, I find very frequently that we are handicapped in advancing certain men, or de- string to have certain work done, and find those before us are not qualified on account of the lack of, many times, even a high school education."
