FROM BOB CLAYTON
Camp Pike, Ark.
Mr. W. W. Raney,
McCrory, Ark.
Dear Sir:
As I am not busy at the pres
ent, thought I would drop you
a few lines. I am beginning to
feel like a real soldier now,
for I have gotten straightened
out and know where T am go
ing to be the next day and
what lam going to do.
I am on the tuberculosis ex
amining board, thus get to see
all the new men as they pour
in to answer the call. It is one
continuous tramp, tramp, all
day and night now. Our brave
boys are filled with awe but
they show the right spirit. I
have seen very few out of the
many thousands we have ex
amined show the yellow color.
They are surely giving them
strenuous training now. They
have to drill from 7 a. m. until
5 p. m. and it is no plav job to
carry that rifle and go through
the many manuvers you are re
ouired to do. I have had no
drilling to do for some time.
All my work is in the office but
I have plenty to do.
Any old time you hear a fel
low saying that a drafted man
has no chance for advancement
you just tell them that they are
sadly mistaken. The boys that
have the ability and pep are
getting some of the best posi
tions the army affords. It is
just as much honor to be a se
lected man as a volunteer. I
have had officers tell me that
we have the best bunch of boys
that have ever been camp be
fore.
I hear the tramp of the boys
coming to visit us so will have
to knock off for the present
time. Wishing you and yours
the best of success in your busi
ness, I am,
Sincerely yours,
ROBERT CLAYTON

From a Justice of the Peace
W. H. Hill, J. P., Detroit,!
Texas, writes: “I used Foley
Kidney Pills and say unhesi
tatingly that of all I have used
they are the best, and have
done the work where the rest
failed.” Backache, rheumatic
pains, sore muscles, stiff joints,
and to frequent bladder action
are symptoms of kidney trou
ble. Red Cross Drug Store, adv
A letter from Mr. W. H. Jim
erson states that he and his
family are nicely domiciled in
Heber Springs where they ex
pect to spend th summer. The
many friends of the family will
be glad to know that they are
enjoying the best of health.
FLIES NEVER BOTHER
In the summer flies worry
an animla. Get a bottle of
Farris’ Healing Remedy, costs
but 50 cents, makes a pint
worth $2.00. Apply it to the
wound. Flies will not bother
it. Get it today. You may
need it tomorrow. We sell it.

FARMING HINTS
Corn has been laid by in
most sections of the state but
too soon to get a maximum
crop. Corn needs one or two
miore cultivations in most plac
es. Don’t make this common,
but vital., mistake at this time
and neglect the late ^cultiva
tion. Late cultivation is neces
sary to provide the corn plant
food in maturing or filling out
the grain. Remember, late cul
tivation should be shallow cul
tivation since the roots are
near the surface and to cut the
feeding roots means to cut the
supply of moisture. It will not
do to prune the roots of the
corn, especially after it is be
ginning to fruit. The late cul
tivation after the corn is about
shoulder high should not be
deeper than two and a half or
three inches, nor closer to the
corn than five or six inches.
The A-harrow one trip to the
middle is good for cultivation
in the late crop. If the Gee
Whiz cultivator is used be sure
it does not run too deep or too
close to the corn.

Wirthmor $1.00 Waists
Keep prices as LOW as you possibly can That’s
the spirit of the forward-looking, right-minded, pro
gressive retailers.
We are still enabled to sell WIRTHMORE Waists
at $1.00, because of a fortunate merchandising ar
rangement which still brings them to us at their former
very moderate price.
The continued sale of these Wirthmor
Waists at $1.00, when they ould readily
sell for considerably higher prices is
merely illustrative of our determination
to aid our patrons in the exercise of real
thrift and economy wherever opportun
ity affords.

are made now cost double what they did a year ago|
and it is only because they were purchased at that time
that the maker’s price to us has not yet advanced.

FUEL ADMINISTRATION
From the present estimates
of the country’s requirements,
it seems evident that sufficient
coal will not be transported
to all parts of the country to
satisfy the needs of all con
sumers.
This has made it necessary
to establish Preference List de
signed to insure coal supply to
industries considered most es
sential to the Government’s
War Policies. A comprehen
sive distribution program has
also been formulated, through
which the coal production of
the country must be regulated
and directed. This program is
to be carried out by the Fuel
Administration, co-operating
with the War Industries Board.
This program provides that
the State Fuel Aministration
shall have the entire responsi
bility and authority for the dis
tribution of coal allotted to his
state.
