A good turnip crop will help
out wonderfully in the food
line this winter.
If our soldier boys deliberat
ed as long over doing their du
ty as some of our people at
home hesitate over doing theirs
the victory would be doubtful.
A discredited Democrat and
a New York socialist cast the
only two votes against the man
power bill in the lower branch
of Congress, out of a total vote
of .238. More unpleasant news
for the German war lord.
It is a sort of financial ■«. w
ardice to hesitate to put your
money in United States Gov
ernment securities, and to de
liberate over the wisdom and
patriotism of the investment is
to hesitate in supporting our
soldiers.

An ingenious American has
patented a device to prevent
such motoring accidents as ari
se from speeding. He describ
es his contrivance as follows:
While the car is running at 15
miles an hour a white bulb ap
pears on the radiator, at 25
miles, a green bulb appears, at
40 a red bulb, and when the
driver begins to bat em up
around 60 per, a music box un
der the seat begins to play
“Nearer My God to Thee.”

Let’s back uj Oui' Boys in France. It is no less our
duty to furnish them and our allies food than it is their
duty to tight. W-* ar raising this fall an miple cotton crop
to clothe and provide edible fats and oils for our boys. Let
us raise a big grain crop next spring to help feed them.

RAIN HELPS CROPS
Newport, Aug. 2b. The
rains that have i alien in this
section have done much to re
vive vegetation and will mater
ially help the cotton and corn
crops, though the corn crop is
almost a failure in many see
tiosn of Jackson county and
the cotton crop has been seri
ously damaged by the dry
weather and the hot w ind 'Tur
ing the past ten days.

WHERE IT HELPS
“D< you think early rising is
good for your health?” asked
the languid city visitor
‘T don’t know about my
health.” replied Farmer Cob
bles, ‘‘but next to sun, rain and
fertilizer, it’s the best thing
there is for crops.”—Ex.

CAMP PIKE NOTES a

Camp Pike, Aug. 19.—If the
relatives of a soldier or sailor
abroad have received no word
xrom him for an unreasonable
length of time and desire to in
ouii as to his welfare; or if
whe> . have received word that
ite has been wounded and de
.-.u i to receive additional infor
mation; or if they have been
i 'tiled of his death and desire
to receive additional informa
tion, they should write to the
tlureau of Communication,
American Red Cross, Washing
ton, D. C., or lied Triangle
.wague, dud A. O. U. W. Build
ing, Little Rock, Ark., giving
Tie full name of the soldier,
his rank when last heard from,
his serial number, the name of.
his unit, his age and the date
when he entered the service,
fly giving this information in
full it will be much easier to
ind the record of the soldier
nd to also make certain that
they have the right man and
not someone with a Similar
lame. It is well for revives
> make certain that they have
he correct serial or identifica
tion tag number of the soldier
to avoid all uncertainty.
When you get the address
•soldier and you can’t tell
bother he is in Co. I or Co. J,
always make it Co. I. Owing to
the similarity of the two letters
there are no companies known
as “J.’,
Iowa has furnished the latest
aggregation of “conscientic us
objectors” in the person of a
bunch of Mennonites, some
twenty or more in number, who
decline to enter the active ser
vice as either combatants or
non-combatants. They have
been sent to Fort Leavenworth,
where they will have plenty
time to study over the mailer.
There are men in this coun
try trying to get the office of
chaplain in the belief that they
will be dropping into a soft
berth and will have nothing to
do but lead the regiment in
prayer once a week and draw
his salary. A chaplain is the
Official postmaster of the regi
ment, is librarian, and is sub
ject to all sorts of cals. A
chaplain these days has to jus
tify his presence on the payroll
by his works as well as by his
religious faith.
Camp Pike is to see $6,000,
<>00 spent in improvements and
additional barracks during the
coming fall and it is hoped
they will be completed by the
first of December. One half
of the sum will go for the
new home for the Central Of
ficers Training School, which
will be located about two miles
north of the present location
and will be the only infantry
school for officers west of the
Mississippi river. The other
money will provide quarters
for six additional battalions to
the 162nd Depot Brigade and
barracks for a detention quar-j
.mtine area.
Once again let a word of
warning be given against writ
ing the sort of letters that will
induce them to come home
against the orders of their su
perior officers. They may pay
very dearly for the few short
hours at home. During the
last ten days a number of pri
vates have suffered court mar
tial for desertion and absence
with, ut leave, the penalties
ranging from confinement at
hard labor for six months and
forfeiture of two-thirds pay to
ten years at hard labor and a
dishonorable discharge with
forfeiture of all pay at the end
of the term.

Here is an Exclusive Feature in Tractor Con
struction That You Get Only in an
AVERY TRACTOR
THE most vital spot in any motor is the inside of
the cylinder wall. It gets the hardest wear of
any part of a tractor and the Avery tractor is the
only tractor in which you can take care of this
wear by slipping in a renewable wall whenever it
should be necessary.
Whenever the inside of the cylinder wears or
becomes scored in any way you dont have to buy
a complete new cylinder casting as must be done
with other tractors.
This is only one of the exclusive features in
the construction of the Avery Kerosene Tractors.
They also have patented sliding frame transmis
sions and are equipped with Duplex Gassifiers, a
new device which turns Kerosene into gas and en
ables Avery Tractors to burn all the Kerosene.

Lend Your Money

Giving Their Lives
Yu don’t have to h ght, yu don’t have to die
BUT—
Your son does, or your brother who is now across the
way—or the kid now in khaki to whom you used to
give pennies a short time ago.
That money you have laid away for a “rainy day”—
wouldn’t you give every nickle of it to keep a Hun’s
knife away from his throat?
Well, the Hun is here, and so is his knife—and so is
tht* rainy day ’-—its raining now, raining bombs and
sharpnel upon our boys “over there.”
