URGES WOMEN TO
‘ HELP BY ECONOMY
Ntai«nal Secretary Agriculture Says
“Make Saving Fashionable LeHt
It Become Obligatory
In an appeal to the women of the
country Secretary Houston of the Na
tional Department of Agriculture says
they can “do their bit’ most effect
ually in the national emergency by
practicing effective thrift in their
households
The appeal was prompted by many
requests for a' statement as to the
service women can render the nation
in the direction of producing and con
serving agricultural products.
“Every woman can render inde-*
pendent service to the nation in its
present emergency,” says the appeal.
“She need not leave her home or
abandon her home duties to help Am
erica win the war. She can help to
feed and clothe our armies and help
to supply food to those beyond the
soas by practicing effective thrift in
her own household.
“Every ounce of food the housewife
saves from being wasted in her home
—all food which she or her children
produce in the garden and can or pre
serve, every garment which care and
skillful repair, make it unnecessary
to replace—all lessen that household’s
draft on the already insufficient
world’s supplies.
“To save food the housewife must
learn to plan economical and properly
balanced meals, which, while nourish
ing each mebmer of the family, pro
perly do not encourage over-eating or
offer excessive and wasteful variety.
It is her duty to use all effective
methods to protect food from spoil
age by heat, dirt, mice or insects.
She must acquire the culinary abil
ity to utilize every bit of edible food
that comes into her home.
“Whenever a useful garment is
needlessly discarded, material needed
to keep some one warm or dry may
be consumed merely to gratify a
passing fancy. Women would do well
to look upon clothing at this time
more particulary from the utilitarian
point of view.
“While all honor is due to the
women who leave their homes to
nurse and care for those wounded in
battle, no woman should feel that b<
cause she does not wear a nurse
uniform she is absolved from patrb
tic duty. The women of the countr
if they will give their minds fully I
this vital subject of food conservi
tion and train themselves in hous'
hold thrift can make of the housi
wife’s apron a uniform of nation,
significance.
“Demonstrate thrift in your horn;
and encourage thrift among yoi
neighbors.
“Make saving rather than spendiri
your social standard.
“Make economy fashionable lest
become obligatory.”

The new Freeze thresher, recently
purchased by N. M. Wilson and I}. P.
Whisnant is doing splendid work in
the wheat fields south of town, and
is turning out the golden grain in a
manner that should be a source 6f
pride to its owners.
This is a new type of thresher and
has a number of improve
ments over any other machine ever
used in this section.
In addition to a cleaning and meas
uring attachment that is aboutas near
perfection as it is possible to build,
the machine has another feature that
commends it very highly to the man
who grows wheat, especially at this
time, when it is selling for $2 a
bushel. This is in the saving of wheat
as compared with some of the old
time machines. By means of improv
ed methods of agitation used in this
machine which is the invention of
Mr. J. H. Freeze who has been here
for several days demonstrating the
merits of the machine, the loss of
wheat resulting from imprefect sep
aration of the grain from the straw,
has been reduced to a minimum by
this machine and there is practically
no wheat carried out through. the
stacker into the straw stack.
A demonstration of the machine’s
efficiency for saving all the wheat
was given Wednesday afternoon while
threshing wheat for Noel Norris on
E. H. Williamson's farm soufh of
town. Enough wheat was fed through
the machine to secure a bushel of
grain, and while this was being done
the stacker was so arranged that, all
the straw was thrown upon a large

YEAR SAYS DISTILLER
s . .
Head of National Liquor Association
Says 2000 Saloons in Chicago
Will Close in 60 Days
r
■ Charles H Herman of Chicago,
president of one of the largest whis
key making concerns in the country
and directing head of the National
Distiller’s and Wholesale Liquor
Dealer’s Association declares that
within CO days not less than 2000
saloons in Chicago will be forced out
of business by the new prohibition
law now before Congress, and that a
like proportion throughout the coun
try would be similarly affected.
He estimates that the whiskey in
the United States will be exhausted
f.vithin a year at the present rate of
consumption, saying that he had
positive knowledge that there was
not more than 200,000,000 gallons of
whiskey in the government ware
houses.
The normal consumption is said to
be about 130,000,000 galjons, while
the prospect of a dry period coming,
it is expected that drinkers will try
to store up a supply, thus taking al^
that is left over.
Beer and wines are not affected
by the new liquor law, but hereafter
the government will permit no more
grain or food products to be used in
the manufacture of whiskey.

wagon cover. The straw and chaff wa3
! then carefully removed and all the
grain gathered up, and by actual
weight on an apothecary’s scales it
was shown that less than half an
ounce" of wheat to the bushel is car
ried out into the straw stack. The
machine seems as near perfect in this
respect as it is possible for human
ingenuity to build. This feature of
the machine, as well as other minor
improvements was invented by Mr.
Freeze who has been here for a few
days overseeing the operation of the
new machine.
This demonstration was witnessed
by a large number of our citizens,in
cluding Jugde M. L. Arnold, E. W.
Magness, former circuit clerk Geo. L.
Bevens, P. G. Magness, J. I’ropes,
Judge F. C. Hoyt, the editor of the
Journal and a number of ladies from
town who had driven over in cars to
see the new machine in operation.
Mr. Freeze, who is an expert ma
chinist and who has spent his entire
life in operating threshing machines
in various sections of the country,
i pays this section a high compliment
on its production of high grade wheat.
: He has operated machines through
the wheat belt of the North, in the
Dakotas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska,
Kansas and Illinois, and he unhesitat
ingly declared that the wheat produc
ed in Big Bottom is the best wheat
he ever saw. Wheat produced in this
section show's a test of (54 per bushel,
which he says is not equalled by
Vvheat produced in any other section
of the United States.
The crop so far as threshed is mka
ing an average yield of 30 to 35 bush
els per acre.

\ BIG INCREASE IN
AUTOMOBILES IN ARKANSAS
The number of automobile licenses
issued in Arkansas since the first of
the year now totals 24,500. With
nearly six months to go, the annual
issuance of license tags will probably
total 30,000, almost double that of
1916, which was 15,423.

her mistress asked:
“Sally, how did you raise your boy3
so well?”
“Ah’ll tell you missus,” answered

barrel stave, an’ Ah raises ’em fre

STATE GUARDS TO BE
DRAFTED AUGUST :>
The last step necessary to make the
entire national guard available for
duty in France was taken Monday,
when President Wlison issued a proc
lamation drafting the state troops
into the regular army of the United
States August 5.
To make certian that the purpo ■
of the national defense act is carried
out the proclamation declares the
men drafted shall be discharged from
the old militia status on that date. In
that way the constitutional restraint
upon use of militia outside the Unit
ed States is avoided and the way pav

FALL FROM WAGON
RESULTS IN DEATH
Searcy, July 9.—Viva, the five
year-old daughter of J. T. Harrison
of Center Hill, died yesterday from
injuries received when a wogan ran
over her. The family had attended
singing at Neal’s schoolhouse when
the wagon was going down a steep
hill, the child fell out and a wheel
ran over her leg and stomach. The
leg was broken and her internal in

HERE is another remarkable point of Studebak

more. Studebakeis are the strongest, lighest cars
of their capacity on the market. Less skillful
manufacture.s may approach Studebaker in light
ness—but they attain it only by sacrificing strength.
Remember, seating capacity is only one point of

added together tha,t makes Studebaker the best
