The Arrow may appear a little
short on local news this week owing
to the fact that conscription blanks
have been taxing our resources. A
great number of the conscrlpteu
were wanting to file exemption
papers and came here thinking to
find them with the board. In this
they were mistaken, and as they
have but a fe\« days in which to file
their notice of appeal and submit
their evidence, it became necessary
for us to get busy furnishing the
blanks in order that the boys could
file before the time expired on them.
This took up most of the time since
the necessity was discovered! until
time to go to press. We feel that
(everyone wants to see the boys
have a fair show, and will look ov.>-
the lack of news in this issue.

CHEAPER THAN LINOLEUM
Painted Rag Carpets May Be Usee
Effectively In Kitchen.
Painted rag carpets may be used at
a substitute for linoleum Tack the
carpet neatly on the floor. Cover it
thoroughly with a thick flour starch
and let dry Thoroughly starch again
and dry Then give two coats of
paint.
This method is endorsed by Miss
Martha McPheeters of the Extension
division of Oklahoma A. &• M. Collegt
in a new circular, "Arrangement of
the Farm Kitchen."
The suggestions in the circular ap-
ply to town kitchens just as well
to farm kitchens, except that the eitv
home is frequently designed by archl
tects who look after the comfort and
convenience of the housewife's work
shop Here are some of the things
Miss McPheeters recommends for tho
kitchen.
"The walls and floors should b>)
washable. Table oilcloth, paint and
washable paper are the best wall cov
erings from a standpoint of sanitation
and durabilty. Doors and window cas
ings, moldings and baseboards should
have weli-tltted joints and smooth sur-
face so there is no place for dust to
collect. Enamel paint is the most sat-
isfactory finish for kitchen woodwork,
as it gives a smonth surface. Lin
oleum is the best floor covering If
the floor is bare, paint should be used
for finishing."
Copies of the circular may be ob
tained free by writing to Extension
Division. A. & M. College, Stillwater,
Okla., for Circular No. o4.
MANY COUNTIES PLAN FAIRS
Fat Livestock Supplants Horse Races
In Public Interest.
Nearly fifty requests to supply
judges at county and district fairs
had been received by the Extension
Division of A. & M. College up to Au-
gust 1. More than thirty of these fairs
are scheduled for a single week in
September and Director James A. Wil-
son is hard pressed to get enough com-
petent judges.
These requests indicate tliat there
is little diminution in the interest in
fairs in sections where there has been
partial crop failure. In addition to
the larger fairs there will be town-
ship and community fairs throughout
the state. The free fair law has had
a good effect on the numbers and qutil-
ity of fairs throughout the state.
For several years Oklahoma com
munity and county fairs have been un-
dergoing radical changes. There aro
few horse racing fairs these days
The amusement booths have coased to
hold the charms that they once exer-
cised. The crowds can usually be
found about the livestock ring, the
farm crops display or the household
arts section. In other words, the Okla
homa county fair is becoming what it
should be—an educational exhibit.
Because of the increased interest
this year in home canning and drying
of fruits many fair associations have
increased their prize lists in this de-
partment. Boys' and Girls' Club work
is receiving more attention at the
fairs Many fairs are following tho
lead of the state fair in featuring the
government's conservation campaign.

method of preserving eggs? The Ex

M I SIvOGEF MAYOR ACQl
II
Mayor J. E. Wyand, accused by a
special grand jury with nonenforce-
ment of the liquor and gambling
law, was acquitted by a jury in the
district court Thursday. The case
against sheriff John S. Barger it is
intimated, will be dismissed.
DRYING METHODS FAVORED
Cheaper Than Canning and Easier,
Many Housewives Find.
Reports from many sections of Ok-
lahoma indicate that drying of fruits
and vegetables is supplanting home
canning as a means of preserving
fruits and vegetables. Although dry-
ing has never been widely practiced in
this state, many persons are finding
that it is not such a difficult act inn
plishment.
Tbirty-four counties in the state now
have women agents in home demon
stration work and these have been
coached in the art of drying fruits and
vegetables grown in Oklahoma. Some
ut the men agents are also adept at
the work.
Commercial drying equipment can
be purchased at reasonable prices
when ordered in lots. Home-made
equipment can be made by any ono
bandy with tools. Information on dry-
ing and storing of dried products will
be furnished by the county agent or
woman agent, or may be obtained by
writing to Miss Emma A. Chandler,
Extension Division. A. & M. College,
Stillwater, Okla.
Miss McPheters, from the A. &
M. College, an expert at canning dry
ing und home economies, was in the
city Monday and Tuesday the guest
of the Lady Demosstrator, Mrs. Josie
Sartain, and assisting her In her
work.

is unusually attractive. The biggest

SUGAR SHORTAGE FEARED
Substitute May Have To Be Used Un-
less Imports Hold Up.
According to the I'nited States De-
partment of Agriculture, only about
20 per cent of the supply of sugar
needed in this country Is produced al
home. Should import- fall below
their usual quantity, and this is possi-
ble, we may have to get along with
less sugar.
Sirups and molasses will probably
prove more popular if there is a real
shortage in sugar. In recent years
there ha.- been an effort to revive the
old-time s ughum mill. Indications
are that there w ill be more home-mado
sirups and sorghums this year than in
many -years past
Honey is a successful substitute for
sugar.
