TOR FOOD CONSERVATION
Every Housewife in Huttlg to Be Asked to
Sign Pledge Saturday.
A number of patriotic women,
will solicit every housewife in Hut
tig Saturday to sign the following
pledge and it is hoped none will re
fuse:
To the Food Administration,
Washington, D. C.
I am glad to join you in the serv
ice of food conservation for our
nation and I hereby accept mem
bership in the United States Food
Administration, pledging myself to
carry cait the directions and advice
of the administrator ir> the conduct
of my household, inasfar as my cir
cumstances permit.
Name..
Address . .
Number in household .
Do you employ a cook? __
Occupation of breadwinner
Will you take part in authorized
neighborhood movements for food
conservation? . .
There are no fees or dues to be
paid. The Food Administration
wishes to have as 'members all of
those actually handling food in the
home.
The pledge is self-explanatory
and should be signed by every
housewife and then much thought
given the subject.
There is no doubt but what
enough bread and other scraps are
thrown away every day in Huttig
to feed a large number of persons.
There are also many homes in
Huttig where the table is loaded
with edibles which do not contain
the proper nurishing qualities,
thereby causing a waste of both
food and money to the detriment
of the bodies.
If the United States and her al
liies win the war it will be won by
the conservation of food stuffs so
we can help feed the armies of
Europe.
Think what a saving it would be
if every housewife in the United
States just cooked enough bread or
biscuits to feed the family each
meal, to say nothing of the many
other dishes.
Good, wholesome food and just
enough of it is better for physical
development of the body than too
much strach, sugar or portein.
Every housewife in Huttig can
do her bit toward helping win the
war and not be out a cent but real
ly save money by practicing econo
my in the amount of food cooked
and studying what is the best
suited diet for the family.
We understand that every house
wife who signs this pledge will re
ceive the government bulletin on
“How to Conserve Food.”
Sign the card. It costs you
nothing and if you practice what
you should you will be doing your
patriotic duty.

Avoid Chills and fever.
Last year we had one case of
malaria for every five people in Ar
kansas. We never can become a
most efficient people while so many
are burdened with this disease.
The only way to combat it is to
eliminate as far as possible all
mosquito breeding places by drain
ing, by oiling the surfaces of all
still water bodies which cannot be
drained, by cleaning up in general
and by screening all houses. A
great many farmers fail to realize
that sceening pays. Not only a
home should be screened, but ev
ery tenant house, because a mos
quito makes no distinction between
white and black. He will infect
tenants in unscreened houses and
then carry the malaria from them
to the wife and children of the
landlord.
If the houses are built so
that they cannot be screened, the
necessary changes should be made
at once, and a fine mesh wire
gauge should cover the porches,
doors, windows and every crack.
Don't forget the top of the chim
ney.
Screening will not only protect
you from the mosquito, but from
the tilty house fly that too often
carries typhoid fever and desentery
on its hairy feet and body.

Tell us the news for the News
New Warehouse and Gin Regulat
ing Law.
Farmers and business men
should know about the new mark
eting and gin regulating law passed
by the last legislature and now be
ing put into effect. It is practical
ly the same law that has been in
operation in Texas since 1914 and
its prime object is to facilitate the
preparation, storage, care and
marketing of farm products. Cot
ton being the chief product of the
Arkansas farm, special provisions
are set out in the law with refer
ence to the ginning, storing and
marketing of cotton. The ginning
of cotton is incidental to a more
improved method of warehousing
and marketing of cotton.
The law provides for a system of
bonded warehouses and contem
plates that through the operation
of bonded warehouses the bulk of
the cotton crop, if not all, will be
eventually warehoused. The
warehousing of cotton is the first
essential step in an intelligent and
business-like commercial method
of handling and marketing baled
cottc^i. It is folly to undertake a
system of warehousing and mark
eting our great staple crop of cot
ton unless the system is complete.
Any system that is complete and
operative and beneficial must em
brace a proper and uniform prepa
ration of the product for the
market. This involves the ginning
and packing, which the new law
undertakes to regulate to the end
that there may be an intelligent,
systematic method of moving the
product through the organized
channels of trade with the least
amount of loss, waste or inconven
ience.
Perphaps the greatest gain will
be made through a system of class
ing and grading to be conducted by
the U. S. department of agriculture.
Expert government cotton graders
will class and grade all samples of
cotton submitted to this depart
ment. When the owner of the
cotton gets a report from us giving
the grade and classification of his
cotton he can turn to the daily pa
per and see exactly what his cotton
is worth. This service should en
able the producer to market his
cotton with a full knowledge of its
value and the saving will reach an
average of $5 a bale. It is possi
ble under the operation of this law
for the farmer to drive his load of
cotton to the gin and have it
ginned, and when ginned to settle
for his ginning and sell his seed on
the spot. He can then take his
bale of cotton to the warehouse
and get his receipt and take it to
the bank and put it up as collateral
and borrow money to pay his store
account, if he wishes. He can
then send his sample to our de
partment and get it classed and
graded by a government classer
in accordance with government
standards accepted by the cotton
exchanges. When he gets his card
giving him the grade and classifia
tion of his cotton.he can look in the
paper and see what his cotton is
worth. He can then go to his lo
cal cotton buyer and sell his cotton
and settle with the bank like a bus
iness man without having to haul
his cotton to town over bad roads.
If he is not offered the value of his
cotton he can hold it or look for an
other market. This would event
ually simplify the handling and
marketing of cotton and bring the
producer to the position he is en
titled to occupy in the transaction,
that of being master of his own af
fairs.
A copy of this splendid law, put
on the statute books by Arkansas
farmers, with instructions and
blank forms for the organization of
local warehouse associations will
be sent to any farmer or citizen
upon request made to John H.
Page, Commissioner of Agriculture.

Line Ip Labor for Tall Harvest.
For the harvest of the fall crops
a great deal of extra help will be
required and for this emergency
the government is undertaking to
mobilize the idle labor of the state.
Arrangements have been made
with the county clerk of this coun
ty to register the names of farmers
who will need help, and the names
of men who are available for em
ployment. If you need more hands
on your farm, or if you are out of
work, leave your name at the court
house at once. Also, see the sec
retary of your commercial club or
jaour county agent and let these
men help you. It is to the inter
est of the nation that the crops be
quickly gathered, to avoid waste,
and the surplus labor of the state
be employed. There need be no
scarcity of farm help or unemploy
ed men if this free employment bu
reau is made use of.
What’s bred in the bone makes
that much less meat to the pound.
PROCRASTINATION
Is not only the thief of time but is the thief of good oppor
tunities as well.
The man who puts off starting to save will never
have the foundation for success. The man who spends all
he earns may have a "good time" as he goes along, but he
cannot take advantage of the good business chances that
come to him and old age will find him a miserable failure.
The man who makes good is the man who does not
put off until some future time to save, but now while he is
earning saves some part of everything he earns. He does
not spend his money thoughtlessly to have a good time, but
finds enjoyment and encouragement in knowing that he has
something laid up with which to take advantage of future
business chances and for old age which is sure to come.
Do not wait until next week or next month to start
to save, but start now by opening an account at
