WOMEN SHOULD PAY
POLL TAX AND VOTE
Patriotic Duty of Arkansas Wo
men to Exercise Right of
Primary Suffrage
Among other obligations
that have come to the women
of Arkansas since ouv entrance
into the Great War, that of
suffrage is the most important.
For it is an obligation no less
than a right and a privilege,
and every woman in the state
is urged to consider it from
that viewpoint.
There are a few easily un
derstood facts that should ap
peal to these thousnds of new
voters in Arkansas:
According the ruling of At
torney-General Arbuckle, wo
men otherwise qualified may
pay their poll-taxes, without
penalty, up to the day of elec
tion, to vote in the primary el
ection of May 28.
Poll-taxes for this year may
be paid without penalty up to
July 1, which will qualify for
subsequent primaries, which
usually begin with Little Rock
in December.
It has been held by the At
torney-General that Arkansas
soldiers outside the state can
not vote in Arkansas elections
as the non-resident voters’ act
applies only to electors away
from home but inside the con
fines of the state. This will de
prive the state of thosands of
voters.
Arkansas is one of the seven
states where aliens are permit
ted to vote—it is expected this
'will be remedied by the next
Legislature as it has been done
recently by the Texas Legisla
ture.
These two facts are further
reasons why every woman in
Arkansas should esteem it her
patriotic duty to pay her poll
tax and cast her vote in the en
suing primaries that loyal Am
ericanism may have a strong
and dependable ally in main
taining the balance of power.

HONOR CARDS TO BE
GIVEN TO FARMERS
Every farmer, whether land
owner or tenant, should get his
“Honor Card” at once, and put
it on display at his home. Hon
or Cards are given to those
who pledge themselves to raise
enough food and feed this year
to take care of their families
and of their live stock on the
place.
The pledge cards are now
being distributed by three In
spectors appointed in every
school District in Arkansas,
who will make a house-tohouso
canvass and give everybody a
chance to sign them. Those
who sign the pledges will be
given the Honor Card. Those
who refuse will be reported to
the County Committee, com
posed of the county agent, the
!county food administrator and
the chairman of the county
council of defense. This com
mittee, in turn, will report all
“Slackers” to the Government
authorities. All inspectors are
backed by the government and
jare willing to answer all ques
tions.

The livestock specialists are
boosting for more hogs during
1918 and everyone should keep
a pig, but do not forget that a
very good thing to grow along
with the pork is a supply of
vegetables for home use. We
are again being asked to feed
ourselves during the present
year, and we hope that it will
never happen again that the
South has to depend upon the
North for her supply of vege
tables. Grow a garden.

MARVIN POLSTON
My heart was made sad,
Wedensday morning, April 17,
when I was told that Marvin
Polston, one of my pupils had
passed away the night before
This was not anly a shock to
me but the whole community
was profoundly shocked, for
Marvin was at school the day
j before, and well.
Marvin had whooping cough
sometime ago and still cough
led a great deal at times. Fol
: lowing one of these coughing
spells, after supper Tuesday
night, Marvin took suddenly ill
with something like a conges
tive chill which took him away
in a few hours.
Marvin was ten years of age
and in the fourth grade at
school. He was one of the
best boys I have ever had in
my care at school. He was
bright and always ready to do
what he was told. He was
always among the first to pre
pare his part of our programs
and on his last day at school
recited well his recitation for
our closing program
Marvin was loved by all his
playmates and they miss him
at play and we all miss him
in the school room. Marvin
was energetic and very hepful
at home. He was a member of
of the Agricultural club. This
showed his willingness to help
his family and his country.
We will miss Marvin in the
Sunday School for he was a
regular attendent. He was al
so a member of the Methodist
church, having been converted
and united with the church in
August 1917.
Though our hearts are made
sad when we look at his vacant
seat at school and at Sunday
school, we won’t miss him like
his loved ones at home- Marvin
was the oldest child of Mr. and
and Mrs. W. E. Polston and
the first to be claimed by death
in that family.
It is hard to understand why
Marvin should be taken so
young, but if God so wills we
must be submissive. Marvin is
now filling his place in that
great home and great school
above, where he will wait for
his yong friends, rclatievs, par
ents, one brother and three sis
ters.
Marvin was laid to rest in
the presence of a host of sor
rowing friends and relatives, at
Hopewell cemetery. His little
grave was nearly covered by
pretty flowers, gathered mostly
by his boy friends.
