PREPARING FOR THE DRAFT.
September 12th, 13,000,000 men be
tween the new draft ages of 18 and
21, and 31 and 45 will register for
such service as the government may
call upon them to perform.
It will be the greatest mobilization
of man power ever undertaken in the
world.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
says to all state, county and local
Councils of Defense, “I want to have
every flag flying and every band
playing or. Registration Day.”
- He is counting upon every county
ancf community council to insure the
Army and the nation 100 per cent
registration.
All the machinei-y for the draft is
being prepared in advance, so that
there may be no d'elay or confusion
in the orderly application of the new
Selective Service law.
Each community is called upon to
arrange to make Registration Day a
day of solemn patriotic celebration;

[Special Three Months Summer Term
Ir Arkansas’ Greatest Business College
. T’V RAUGHON’S Practical Business College of Little Pock, Arkansas, announces the opening of a
1 B Three Months Summer School, duiing June, July and August, for the benefit cf teachers ar.d others,
w ho cannot remain in school longer than that time. 1 he work will be exactly the same as that of our
regular departments and under supervision of best educators in the South. Those who desire intensive work in
Shorthand, Stenotypy, Touch Typewriting, Bookkeeping and higher accounting, English, cfEce practice, multi
graphing. etc., will be given an opportunity such as is not provided elsewhere in this territory. The ecuises
offered follow: ' /
and patriotic music wherever possi
ble.
It is suggested that Community
louneil and patriotic meetings be
held, and speakers provided to lay
this information before the people,
that they may be fully advised of the
provisions of the law and the re
quirements of the nation in this hour
of crisis.
Special meetings for negroes and
foreign-bom groups should be held'
wherever necessary to explain to
j them their duties.
Every individual in the remotest
j sections of Arkansas, as well as
I throughout the nation, must be reach
ed with an irresistable appeal to his
patriotism and his conscience, and
the government is relying largely up
on the Council of Defense system to
Secure this result.
PROHIBITION BILL
PASSED BY SENATE
Washington, Sept. 6.—The $12,000,
000 emergency agricultural appro
priation bill, with it3 rider for na
tional prohibition from next July 1
until after the American Armies are
demobilized after the end of the war,
was passed tonight by the senate
without a roll call. Before final pas
sage, the senate voted 45 to 6, to re
tain the prohibition rider. A final
effort to postpone the effective date
i of the “dry” legislation to December
30, 1919, was defeated.
The bill now goes to the house, and,
because of the many amendments in
serted by the senate, it undoubtedly
will be sent to conference. Prohibi
tion leaders, however, expect the
house to agree to the “dry” rider.
Senators voting against retaining the
“dry” legislation in the bill were
Brandegee of Connecticut; Gerry of
Rhodie Island; Phelan of California;
Pomerene of Ohio; Ransde’-l of Lou
| isiana, and Underwood of Alabama,
while many members absent and pair
1 ed favored the amendment.
| A.s returned to the house, the pro
hibition clause—compromise effected
| last week by senate “wet” and “dry” i

rule of the Methodist church is to have
a pastor for every congregation and a
congregation' for every pastor. Pas
tors come and go, but the congrega
tions remain. It is the duty and priv
ilege of ail tne members of the church
to malje the '•ongreo’otion, or class, to

is for their homies and families and
for themselves that they are to work
while serving their God.

after next May 1.
After passage of the bill the senate
conferee—all regarded friendly to the
legislation—were appointed: Gore of
Oklahoma, Smith of South Carolina,
Smith of Georgia, Kenyon of Iowa,
and France of Maryland. Prohibition
advocates believe the bill soon will go
to the president, who participated in
conferences culminating in the senate
compromise for extension of the ef
fective date. The war revenue bill
and house plans for a recess, imme
diately after its passage, until about
October 1, however, were admitted
obstacles.
MERCHANTS SHOULD
FAVOR THE UNIONS.
The following from “The Brick
layer, Mason and Plasterer” puts into
definite form a query that often en
ters the minds of trade unionists. Ed
itor Maas reasons this way:
“When a workingman gets a dol
lar a day he cannot possibly be a two
dollar customer at the grocery, the
dry goods store, the shoe store or
any place^of business. High wages
help the merchant every time. Trade
unions tend to raise wages and there
fore make the mechanic and labor
er a better customer. Labor unions
also have a tenJency to materially
ihrwf-prt flip hours of labor, thereby

giving employment to a larger num
ber of operatives. The man of busi
ness who fails to lea’.ize the truth of
these assertions is behind the times
and should read up. Long hours and
small wages are among cue causes of
nanics and hard times. The trade un
ion is unalterably opposed to both
these evils.
“The merchant who expects to do
a good business on a starvation rate
of wages i3 on a par with the farmer
who would, expect a good crop without
planting any seed. Intelligent store
keepers are beginning to realize that
the question of their prosperity is in
a large measure bound up in the wel
fare of the wage-earning class. What
ever will advance the welfare of the
one will just as certainly advance the
welfare of the other also.
“Merchants and business men who
are antagonistic to the trade union
movement are antagonistic to their
own best interests. There is no the
oiy or sentiment about this; it is
straight out and' out matter of fact.
Just think it out, you who are inter
ested.
“Don’t forget that in localities
where labor is well organized wages
are always higher than in those places
where it is poorly organized.
“Which class do you prefer to do
business with?
“The trade union and good wages
go hand in hand.”
