LOOK OUT FOR
FAKE SOLICITORS
Organization of County Coun
cils of Defense continues with
rapidity and the first of August
will probably see every council
in Arkansas ready for co-opera
tion with the State Council. The
county organizations are reques
ted to organize in the same man
ner as the State Council, with
the same committees, or an as
signment of different branches
of the work to the various mem
bers. Members of councils who
are looking after agricultural af
fairs can get in touch with the
member of the State Council who
has a like subject, and he can,
in turn, get into communication,
with all members of the county
councils on agriculture, and that
matter can thus be handled alike
in all counties. The same can be
done with labor problems, fire
prevention and everything else
that may come within the scope
of the council.
rersons wno ieei inclined to
donate any sum of money for the
maintenance of the State Coun
cil of Defense should send the
contribution direct to Gen. Lloyd
England, Chairman of the Coun
cil, or give it to some authorized
solicitor of the Council.__ There
being no way for financing the
State Council of Defense other
than by public subscription, Gov.
Brough has issued a proclama
tion asking public spirited peo
ple to send subscriptions to Gen.
England: At a recent meeting
it was decided to warn the peo
ple to beware of solicitors who
may claim to represent the State
Council of Defense in asking for
contributions.- The Council at
the present time has no author
ized agents out soliciting funds,
and should it decide to send any
out, will supply them with cre
dentials that will guarantee to
the subscriber that the funds he
donates will find its way into the
treasury of the State Council.

More Reason for Canning
Washington, July 18. —To in
sure an adequate supply of can
ned goods for the army and navy
the Defense Council's Supply
Committee today asked all the
country's canners to reserve 12
per cent of each canner’s pack
of peas, 12 per cent of corn, 18
per cent of tomatoes and 6 per
cent of salmon. These percent
ages are based upon the can
ner’s entire pack, not on his un
sold surplus. The request af
fects 2,500 canners in eighteen
states.
Which means that everybody
who is in a position to can vege
tables now has an additional rea
son for doing so.
The reserving of canned goods
for our military forces will leave
all the less for the rest of us.
The person who cans food will be
serving his own interest and
serving his country’s interest.—

The American Fighting Man
Be kind to the American soldier,
Honor the uniform he wears;
Don’t judge the army by one man
Who has fallen in snares.
There are good and bad among
us all,
In every walk of life;
On every day you’ll find some one
Who has fallen in the strife.
What a cruel world this would'be
If on judgment day,
For the sins of an individual
The whole world had to pay.
There are many people in this
world—
You’llfind them in every town—
Who always do their very best
To run a soldier down.
And when a war is started
They’re the very first to run,
And try to pet and pamper
The man behind the gun.
So, when you see a soldier pass,
Just stop and think: Some day
He may be fighting for you all
In the trenches far away.
Treat him right when you have
a chance,
And let him see that you un
derstand,
And you’ll find that he’s a gen
tleman—
This American Fighting Man.

Mr. G. D. Harris sent a few
days in Little Rock this week,
but he did not find time to visil
Fo^t Logan H. Roots and the big
army cantonment near by. Ht
indignantly repudiates the asser
| tion of some of his freinds here
| that the reason he didn’t visil
those places is because he hearc
that the boys were working oui
there.
