Must Secure Federal Licenses.
A Federal license is now re
quired in the United States for the
legal possession of explosives, any
person having explosives and not
holding a license therefor being
subject to a fine of $5,000 and im
prisonment for one year.
Only citizens of the United
States.and friendly countries may
obtain licenses. The purchaser of
dynamite must state definitely
what the gxplosive is to be used for
when obtaining his license, and will
be held accountable for i.s use as
stated and the return of any that
may be left.
With the strict enforcement of
this law the federal authorities j
hope to prevent explosiv 3 getting
into the hands of evilly disposed 1
persons, and to put a stop to all j
further dynamite plots.

pledge accordingly. This plan the
whole membership approved and
by adopting it we have met our ob
ligations easier and each member
received a blessing from giving
willingly. The following officers
were elected for the ensuing year.

that the percent of sick ranges
£r&m h per cent to slightly
below 2 per cent.
Among the conditions leading to |
treatment in hospital are severe
colds, tonsillitis, slight injuries and
other comparatively slight ailments.
About the only serious disease
found at any camp was pneumonia.
Each national army camp has a
thousand-bed hospital, equipped

modern practice.
Select Pure Cotton Seed.
Why did you not raise a longer
staple cotton this year, have it
classed by the government cotton
classers and sell on grade and
length of staple and get a higher'
price? If the staple of your cot- j
ton was less than one inch in
length you planted the wrong va
riety. Select the proper seed for
next year’s planting now. Do1
Not Plant Half-and-Half and
other extremely short varieties.
Select a good standard variety and
know what you are raising. The
planting of mongrel varieties is bad
business. The following are a few
of the good standard varieties. For
further information write to the
Extension Division, Fayettville:
Triumph, Sproull and Rowden,
medium eatly to late, big boll, good
staple.
Cleveland ( Wanamaker) medium
to late, big boll, good staple.
Trico, very early, small boll, good
stsple.
Express, very early, small boll,
extra staple.
Weber and Foster, medium early,
medium bolls, extra staple.

Keep More Brood Sows.
The world must have more fat—
hog fat. There is only one way to
secure it and that is to keep more
sows and raise it. The South af
fords an unusual opportunity for
hog raising because we can raise a
great variety of hog feeds that the
Northern farmers cannot raise and
vs can have green feed nearly ev
ery month in the year. This is all
true and everyone should keep
more of their breeding stock, but
where are we going to get more
good sows for those who do not
already have them? In answer, it
is said that the farmers of the
North and West are selling their
sows instead of feeding high priced
corn. Why not get together, buy
cooperatively and ship in carloads?
We have brought in high class cat
t'e ;n this way. Why not spend
some of that good cotton money
and import good sows and a few
registered boars at this time? Let
us start one breed to a community,
raise real breeders and feeders and
buy arid sell cooperatively? There
is money in the hog business if
operated right. Write to the live
stock specialist with the Extension
Division, Fayetteville, for advice.
Wartime Demand for Cotton.
Recent investigations in the use
of cotton show:
A 12-inch gun disposes of a half
bale of cotton with every shot
fired: a machine gun in operation
will use up a bale in three minutes:
in a naval battle like the one off
Jutland over 5;000 pounds a min
ute are consumed by each active
warship; more than 20,000 balds
a year are needed to provide ab
sorbent cotton for the wounds of
the injured: one change of apparel
for all the troops now engaged in
the war represents more than a
million bales.

the Society for the Prevention of
Useless Giving, it is a movement
started several years ago that is
now being vitalized by the necessi
ties of war. It has been officially
recognized by the Arkansas State
Council of Defense, which adopted
a resolution by Gen. J. R. Gibbons
discouraging the giving of Christ
mas presents to persons over 15
years of age. Gen. Gibbons said
that much of the Christmas giving
is useless, and that everyone must
conserve their resources, which
are needed for carrying the war to
a successful termination.
Everybody in the United States
will be given an opportunity to join
the Red Cross for next year this
month which will give a chance to
give a dollar or more to a most
worthy cause.
