' Mrs. W. A. Billingsley, superintend
ent of the Red Cross work room, de
sires to state that in a letter from
headquarters of the Southwestern Di
vision at St. Louis it was said that no
chapter in the whole division had been
allotted its quota of yarn for knitting
and as soon as a supply could be se
cured Newport would receive her al
lotment. The sewing rooms have
been moved to the Sanders store room
on Walnut street and it is hoped that
the ladies of the city will soon begin
active work and if at any time ladies
from over the country should be in
town and have a spare hour they
would be welcome at the sewing
room. Mrs. Billingsley asks all who
are sewing or knitting over the coun
ty to send their work in by the 26th
of this month so a shipment can be
made.
FROM A SWIFTON
BOY IN FRANCE.
J. F. Sneed of Swifton is in receipt
of a letter from his son, Wm. A.
Sneed, who is with the American Ex
peditionary Forces in France, and by
request we publish it that his friends
in Glass township may hear from him.
Somewhere In France,
August 5, 1918.
Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Sneed:
Dear Parents: I will write you a
few lines today. I am well and my
hand is also some better. I think it
will be all right in a few days. I could
not have wanted for better treatment
than I have had in a French hospital.
The French people seem to think lots
of the American soldier and the Red
Cross is one of the soldier’s best
frlfends. It is really his best. If you
hear of any one talking of how they
would like to help the soldiers at the
front tell them to give to the Red
Cross, for it is the greatest organiza
tion of today towards helping the
boys. The Y. M. C. A. huts are also
a soldier’s friend and home. They help
pass away many lonely hours. It
helps to keep the boys out of trouble.
They go to the Y. M. C. A. instead
of to other places that are not good
for them to go. We also have the
Knights of Columbus Hall and Sal
vation Army huts so you see we have
entertainment in France, as well as
in the states when we are behind the
lins.
My wound is only slight in the
hand, so don’t worry about me. I
am all o. k. How are the children?
Tell them I said be good and go to
school and I would have lots to tell
them of many different places I have
seen and other things as well, when I
come home. I hope this will find you
all well as when I left.
As my mail has never overtaken me
I haven’t heard from home yet. Guess
I have been too much on the move. I
suppose everybody is pleased with
the great victory of the allies. They
sure have done wonderful work. The
Americans have done wonderful, won
derful work.
How is grandfather’s and grand
mother’s health by now? I will close,
hoping to hear from you soon.
Your son,
William A. Sneed,
26th U. S. Inf. Co. D.,
A. E. F., France.
The more you nelp the men at the
front the quicker the end will come.

LACK OF LABOR
RETARD! WORK
Local Factories Are Suffering Becaus*
Of Inability To Secure Suffi
cient Workmen.
All the wood working plants oi
Newport, as well as other factories
are suffering greatly because of theii
inability to secure a sufficient num
ber of workmen to carry on full op
erations. In fact, one mill, the Ark
ansas Hardwoods Company, it is un
derstood, will have to close down un
less labor can be had.
i Those who have the authority tc
bring about a strict enforcement oJ
the work-or-fight order should en
deavor to relieve the situation, anc
the Chamber of Commerce is anxious
that men be supplied the mills if i'
can be done through this order whicl
j has been made by the government
'.The cessation of operations by th<
f mills here must be guarded against
for Newport’s factories are one of th<
city’s greatest assets, and the de
velopment of the advantages whicl
the city offers to factories is reliei
upon greatly to enhance the town’s
future growth.
Casualty List 1
The following casualties occurringj
to Arkansas soldiers are reported bv
the commanding general of the Amefl
ican expeditionary forces:
Killed in action—Clarence HutchjH
son, Bentonville; George PicbqjK
Jonesboro; Jesse Simmons, ArmaqH
Missing in action—Fred' Luter, Bijfl

Died of Wounds—Henry Davi*
Newport; Carl Allmond, Wynne.
The Independent was unable tsi
identify Henry Davis, who is listed ifl
the above casualties as being frond
Newport and died of wounds. None
of his relatives could be located, and,
so far as the paper could learn, he
1 was not known here.
