Arkansas Must Give 7,700
•Men For Army Under
Draft Statue
(Continued from page one)
Upon orders for registration,
all men within the ages finally
determined by Congress must
register at their voting places.
Only alien enemies will be ex
empt from registration, and fail
ure by any other than an alien
to register will subject the offen
der to a federal prison sentence
of from three months to one
year.
Quota From Cities
Under the basis used in calcu
lating Arkansas’ proportionate
share of the 500,000-man draft,
the following would be the ap
proximate number of men ex
pected from the chief cities of
fho ctotp* TTnrt Hnt,
Springs, 64; Argenta, 49; Pine
Bluff, 67: Helena, 39; Jonesboro,
32; Paragould, 23; Texarkana 24.
The basis used is one recruit for
every 216 residents.
Later drafts will call out addi
tional men.
The men called out probably
will be of uniform age.
When registration boards com
plete their work their reports
will be forewarded to Lloyd Eng
land, adjutant general, at Little
Rock, and after being compiled
the state registration will be
forwarded to the war depart
ment.
Orders Received

Enlisted men in the National
Guard will be given an opportu
nity to attend the officers train
ing camp at Fort Logan H. Roots
according to telegraphic orders
from General Pershing at Fort
Sam Houston, Texas, late Mon
day.
“Enlisted men in the Nation
al Guard in Federal service may
be examimed and certified under
instructions mailed today to ex
aminers/ * said the telegram.
“Those not in Federal service
may be examined but not certi
fied until discharged from the

There are 200 men, militia offi
cers say, in the Arkansas militia
who will be eligible to take the
examinations.
Appeals for more workmen for
the works now started at Fort
Roots have been issued. Carpen
' ters are needed badly, as many
buildings must be erected before
the camp opens May 14.—Arkan
sas Democrat.
L
Potato House Needed
Mr. W. E. Jelks, one of our
leading and most progressive
farmers and a man who is always
ready to help with his time and
money in any line of work that
is for the betterment of our town
and country, has voluntarily of
fered to donate $100.00 for the
construction of a potato house in
McCrory.
Mr. Jelks is greatly interested
in farming and made the state
ment at the meeting held at Tip
a few nights ago that he was
willing to do whatever he could
to help his brother farmers, and
from the offer he made he has
shown very forceably that he is
interested.
Our farmers are planting more
potatoes this year than usual and
we should by all means have a
place to store them. A potato
house would be a great thing to
tinvp anv vpar anH with the
food products campaign now
being waged and the farmers
adhering thereto makes it doubly
necessary.
It is estimated that $700.00
will build a good potato house
large enough to accommodate this
section and the loss in this terri
tory in two years caused by this
one crop freezing and rottening
will more than repay the cost of
the building. May we hear from
others as to what they will do
for our farmers?
