WHEN THE BOYS RETURN
The boys will be coming
home soon. The 87th and
39th Divisions, in which most
of the Arkansas boys are en
listed, are among the first
that are to return from
France. Uufortunately, some
of them have been disabled,
and they will find it difficult
if not impossible to resume
their former vocations.
To aid in the habilitation of
our soldiers is the purpose of
the Farmers’ Give-a-Bushel
War Fund, an Arkansas move
ment, which is being closed
up this week. The plan con
templates that every farmer
memoer oi ms tamiiy,
give a bushel of his most
abundadnt crop, and that
those who live in the cites
and towns give the value
thereof.
November 19 to December
1st is the date for the final
drive to close up the cam
paign, and all pledges are to
be redeemed at once.
The movement has the sup
port of the State Council of
Uetense through its county
and community organizations,
J.nd members or representa
ives °f the Council have been
niakmg a tour of the state
conferring with the chairman
and others and urging them
’ behind the movement,
e ^at everybody is solicited
and the pledges redeemed by
next Monday.
Some very fine reports have
been made by the members,
one of the best being made by
Chairman Lloyd England
for Columbia County. There
is now about $7,000 in the
bank in that county, and the
chairman is confident they
will be able to raise their
quota, as the county is thor
oughly organized through the
school district. He also vis
ited Miller County, and the
workers assured him that
they would secure their quota
of 12,600 bushels. Lafayette
County is also well organized.
Other sections of the state
make good reports but a few
of them have done very little.
This is one of the necessa
ry agencies, approved by
President Wilson. It must
be continued until the boys get
home and all of them are
replaced in their various em- j
ployments.
John S. Cravens, of the
National Council, in a mes
sage to General England re
garding the relations of the
Give-a-Bushel movement to
the work of the Federal Vo
cational Board for the re
training and re-placing of
disabled soldiers and sailors
says: “We shall suggest to
the Federal Board the desira
bility of immediately sending
a representative to Arkansas
to confer with you and the
trustees of the fund. Fed
eral Board is charged by
Congress with tasks of voca
tional rehabilitation. The
opportunity exists, however,
for broadening and facilitat
ing services to disabled men
if aided by outside funds.”
The Board of Trustees will
hold an important meeting
meantime, all war work or
ganizations are urged to get
behind the drive that is under
way.
