GENERAL CROWDER
YESTERDAY ISSUED
CALL FOR 262 MEN.
St eeia! to Independent.
Little Rock, Oct. 5.—The adjutant
general yesterday issued a call for
262 men, qualified for general mili
tary service and who have had at
least a grammar school education or
its equivalent, have the ability to
read and write and have some me
chanical aptitude. They are to en
train Oct. 15. for St. Louis as aero
plane woodworkers, auto mechanics,
blacksmiths and machinists under the
direction of the St. Louis Board of
Education.
The men will receive a course of
(raining at government expense fit
ting them to serve in army positions
at the front and behind the lines.
They will be assigned to that kind of
mechanical trailing for which the
greatest need exists at the time of
the. rail. At the end of the course
they will be assigned to various
branches in accordance with the
needs of the army. This is an ex
ceptional opportunity Dor qualified
men. Benton county is asked to
send 55, which is the largest number
from any one county. Little Rock is
asked for eight, Jefferson county for
two, and Sebastion for five.
A call is also issued for 150 i.e
groes for the Normal school at Pine
Bluff, to entrain October 15, under
the same conditions as the call for
white men.
In both cases there may be volun
tary enlistments until OctobeV 12.
This is the Arkansas contingent of
the 21.000 men called by Gen. Crow
der yesterday.
THEY TRAIN QUICKLY.
(By The Associated Press.)
American aviation in France lias
Fone ahead rauidlv of late. Men who
a few months ago were still in civil
ian life in the United States, have
been trained and formed into ever
increasing pursuit squadrillas to
harry the enemy. American bomb
ing aviators are now almost daily
harassing the milittary and railway
establishments of the Germans. Ev
ery day -almost brings the news of
fresh victories in the air. The Ger
mans ecrtainly have not the mastery
of the air—often claimed by them—
where the Americans are concerned.
With the steady increase in the
United States forces in France the
enemy is due for increasing defeat—
if past performances count for any
thing.
THE COAL MINERS
DOING THEIR BIT.
According to estimates made by
the United States fuel administra
tion, every time a 15,000 ton troop
rhin carries American soldiers to the
fighting front in France, it consumes
A?.0G0 tons of coal. This means that
each ton of coal sends two soldiers
overseas.
For transportation of food, and
all the endless consignments of muni
tions, 4 000,000 tons of coal will be
required in a year. While the ship
building program demands 14,000,000
tons of coal to manufacture and
transport the steel in ship construc
tion. Some responsibility this on the
> shoulders of the coal miners of the
U. S. They appear to realize it
however ar.d are meeting the situa
tion in a most satisfactory manner.
NO POLITICAL CAMPAIGN
TO BE WAGED THIS YEAR.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Oct. 5.—Clay Fulks of
< Searcy, White county, has filed with
i .i
1 the sceretary of state his certificate |
of nomination as the socialist nomi-1
nee for govrenor. The republicans j
will have no candidate this year, |
either for governor or other state of
fice. It has been generally agreed
that there will be no political cam-1
paigning this year, on account of the j
war, which is distracting everybody’s
attention.

AFTER 22 YEARS’
SUFFERING HER
TROUBLES ENDED.
Mrs. Owenby Ganed 12 Pounds On
Tanlac and Her Health Has Been
Entirely Restored, She Declares—
“Ever since I was eleven years old
until after I started taking Tanlac,
recently, I’ve suffered misery with
my stomach,” said Mrs. Kate Owen
by, a well-known Chattanooga, Ten
nessee, woman, living at 121 Vine
street, recently.
j “Yes, sir, for twenty-two long
' years I never knew what it was to
be able to eat what I wanted without
terrile suffering afterward,” she
continued. “I suffered with pains be
tween my shoulders and my stomach
just felt like there was a hot brick
in it. It would get all bloated up
from gas that formed, and I would
choke and smother so I could hardly
get my breath. I was so nervous that
often I couldn’t lay in bed, but would
get up and walk the floor for hours
at the time.
“I had heard so much about the won
derful relief. Tanlac was bringing
suffering people that I decided to try
it, and it’s th honest truth, after tak
ing five bottles I haven’t a sign of
trouble. I eat anything I want and
never have any pains or even feel un
comfortable. The nervousness is all
gone, and I sleep sound all night long,
j and get up in the morning feeling fine
and full of energy. I’ve gained twelve
pounds in weight, and my improve
ment is the talk of the neighborhood.
All my friends compliment me on the
way I look now.” Tanlac sold by all
Jackson County Druggists.

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CAN
NOT BE CURED,
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure ca
tarrhal deafness, and thas, is by a
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
j Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the re
sult. Unless the inflammation can
