TO ALL REGISTRANTS
FAILING TO REPORT
It has been officially report
ed that there are only five men
who registered in Woodruff
county that have been classed
as “slackers” because through
ignorance or otherwise upon
their part they failed to present
themselves to their local board
for the purpose of executing
their questionnaires or to un
dergo their physical examina
tions.
For the purpose of giving
these delinquents a chance to
report and save themselves
from being posted and adver
tised as deserters, another op
portunity is extended them as
per the following proclamation
1 T_1___J
WHICH ikta uccn ooiitci UUV.
Chas. H. Brough by directon
and authority of our President
Woodrow Wilson:
Proclamation
WHEREAS, The plan was
successfully tried out in Phil
lips county of issuing a general
delinquent and deserters call
resulted in over one hundred
reporting, 85 of wnom were
sent to Camp Pike and others
discharged, and
WHEREAS, The words of
“Slacker,” “Slicker*” and “De
serter” are a reproach to our
State and it is necessary to re
move this stigma from the es
cutcheon of the fair name of
the State of Arkansas,
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Chas.
H. Brough, Governor of the
State of Arkansas, by virtue of
the authority vested in me
under the Constitution and
laws of the State of Arkansas,
do hereby designate
MONDAY, SEPT. 30, 1918
as the date on which all delin
quents should present them
selves to their Local Boards.
I hereby call upon every regis
trant who shall have hereto
fore, through his failure to
keep in touch with his Local
Board, been classed as a de
linquent or deserter, to present
himself on this date to the
Local Board nearest his present
residence in order that his
present status may be deter
mined and proper action on his
case be taken. I most earnest
ly appeal to the loyalty and
patriotism of the good citizens
of Arkansas to see that all the
delinquents present themselves
to their Local Boards on or be
fore the above named date in
order that the good name of
Arkansas may be cleared from
the stain of draft evaders. I
appeal to the newspapers and
other news agencies to give
this the widest publicity,
publishing the names in full of
all delinquents in their re
spective counties, which list
can be obtained from their
Local Boards. I am author
ized by the Adjutant General
of the State of Arkansas and
the Federal authorities to
state that no penalty will be at
tached to these delinquents
providing they report on or
before September 30th, 1918.
IN; TESTIMONY WHEREOF,
I have hereunto set my hand
and caused to be affixed the
Great Seal of State, in the Ex
ecutive Chamber, at Little
Rock, Arkansas, this the 10th
day of September, 1918.

When Children Start to School
School starts at a time of
year when the change of the
season is likely to cause colds,
coughs, croup, hay fver and
asthma. Prompt action at the
first sign of infection may keep
children in prime good health
and help them to avoid losing

PLANTING SEEDS FOR SALE
Last year I invested about
$400.00 in what I thought to
be the best cotton seed that
money could buy. My judge
ment was vindicated this fall
by my turnout at the gins. My
first bale consisted of 1400
pounds of seed cotton. This
produced 586 pounds of lint.
The second bale consisted of
1300 pounds of seed cotton,
and produced 519 pounds of
lint. This is a large boll, fine
lock cotton,early maturing and
easily picked.
I am taking orders now for
planting. They come direct
from Mr. Mebane, and only his
best are handled.
See these seed at Woodruff
County’s Fair, and nlace vour
order for what you want.
Cash to accompany all orders.
