CAMPAIGN A SUCCESS,
The Profitable Farming Campaign in Union
County Enthusiastic.
If the same interest was taken in
the Profitable Farming Campaign
conducted in Union county on Wed
neslay and Thursday throughout
the county that was shown in Hut
tig at least 5.000 people listened
to the thirty different speakers who
spent those two days in the county
There is no doubt whatever but
that great good was accomplished
among the farmers and that more
interest in agriculture will be taken
by the school ch'ldren who were
addressed.
Prof. J. M. Wilson of the Monti
cello agricultural school, and J. A.
Bliss, a prosperous farmer of Iowa,
were the. two speakers who visited
Huttig, Felsenthal, Bolding and
Lapile and both were good, logical
talkers who knew what they were
talking about.
I heir talks, which were greatly
. aided by a large chart, were alor g
p actical lines, and neither advised
the doing away with cotton as our
money crop, but they pleaded for
diversification pf crops and stock
raising and proved that unless we
raise more stock we will leave only
warn out land for our posterity, a
thing we have no moral right to do.
We give below one chart which
should put every farmer in the
county to thinking seriously whith
er we are drifting and cause him to
do his part toward remedying the
evil. With the exception of the
flour, Union county could have
kept every cent of the following
list of foods purchased outside of
the county (in most instances out
side of the state) at home had we
• been practicing what these gentle
men were preaching, and no argu
ment is necessary to convince any
sane man that we would have been
a thousand times better off and not
in the financial straights we are at
present. This table of imports in
to Union county is for the first ten
months of this year and that of the
e <ports is for the year 1913:
IMPORTS.
Meats
$ 126.000
Lard ..
Feed Stuffs
Flour .
Canned Goods
Cabbage and Onions
Butter .
Horses and Mules
73.500
146.000
64.000
35.000
26.500
5.000
70.000
Total $ 546,000
EXPORTS.
Cattle $ 48,000
Cotton . 1,050.000
Total...:. $1,098,000
The above table shows that we
spent over half the money received
for our cotton crop for things we
could have raised at home and still
had our cotton, to say nothing of
the fact that we would be building
up our soil instead of wearing it
out.
Let's feed ourselves.
The Magic Washing Stick.
“I cannot speak highly enough in 1
praise of the Magic Washing Stick,
it saves half the labor in washing.
Makes the clothes sweet, clean and
white as snow without the use of
rubboard,” writes Mrs. R. M. Card
well, Forney, Texas. Sold by
druggists three 1 Oc sticks for 25c,
• or by mail from A. B. Richards

'To Form Athletic Association.
Nye Magee, Buck Millstead, Ha
zel Mills. Otto Nash and Pierce1
Heard, representing the Huttig
school basketball team, went to Eli
Dorado last Friday expecting to |
play the Ei Dorado team, but the
weather prevented.
A movement is on foot at pres- j
ent among the heads of the schools
at El Dorado. Huttig. Junction City
Wesson and Strong to form a coun
ty school athletic association to
play a series of basketball games
until spring and then baseball
games until the close of school. If
the movement is successful it will
be a permanent affair and next
year will include football the first
of the school term. The medal:
now on hand which were not usee
at the fair last week will be giver
to the winning tea ns in the pro
posed series of basket and baseball
games.
We trust those in charge will
succeed in this matter as we be
lieve athletics will enthuse the old
er pupils to better work in the
school room.

; the numerous queries received,
. since the European war began,
from merchants and manufacturers
in practically every country in the
world. According to the report,
the United States is dependent
upon England for a larg-> portion of
j the cotton goods consumed in this
country, approximately 36.000.
000 yards of cloth, valued at $20.

and coal tar. Ireland supplies
large quantities of linens.

THE PATRIOTIC
War Revenue Tax of $105,000 000
Levied—Beer Bears Brunt
of Burden.
Congress has levied a war tax
of $105,000,000 to offset a similar
amount of loss on import revenue
due to the European disturbances
and of this amount beer is the
heaviest contributor, having been
assessed approximately, $50,000,
•00; a stamp tax on negotiable
instruments, it is estimated, will
yield $31,000,000; a tax on the
capital stock of banks of $4,300,
•(X), and a tax on tobacco, per-!
fumes, theater tickets, etc., makes
the remainder.
Congress has decreed that the
brewer, the banker and the in
vestor must shouh.er the musket
and march to the front; that mi
lady who would add to her beau
t\ must first tip l ncle Sam. and
a dollar that seeks pleasure must
fust salute the flag; that Pleasure I
and F’rofit—the twin heroes of
many wars shall tight the na- 1
tions battles and bv an inge
niously arranged schedule of tax
ation Congress has shifter! the
w ar budget from tiie shoulders j
of Necessity to those of Choice!
and Gain, touching in its various j
ramifications almost every line
of business.
All hail the dollar that bleeds
for its country; that bares its
breast to the fortunes of war and
risks its life to preserve the sta
bility and integrity of the nation’s
credit.
1 lie market place has always
been a favorite stand for war rev
enue collectors. The trader is a
great financial patriot. 11 is dol
lar is the first to rally around the
star-spangled banner and the last
to hear the coo of the dove of
peace, lie is called upon to buy
cannon; to feed and clothe the
hoys in blue and each month
cheer tl* ir hearts with the coin
of the realm. Men can neither he
free nor brave without food and
ammunition, and money is as im
portant a factor in war as blood.
Many monuments have been
erected in honor of heroes slain
in battle, poems have been writ
ten eulogizing their noble deeds
and the nation honors its soldiers
while they live and places a mon
ument upon their graves when
they die. hut very little has been
said of the dollar that heats the
burdens of war.
Honor to the Dollar That Bears
the Burdens of War.
All honor to the dollar that an
swers the call to arms and. when
the battle is over, bandages the
wounds of stricken soldiers, lavs
a wreath upon the graves of fall
en heroes and cares for the
widows and orphans.
All honor to the industries that
bend their hacks under the burd
ens of war; lift the weight front
the shoulders of the poor and
build a bulwark around the na
tion’s credit.
All honor to those who con
tribute to the necessities and ad
minister to the comforts of the
boys who are marching; cool the
fever of afflicted soldiers and
kneel with the cross beside dying
heroes.
A dollar may light its compet
itor in business, industries may
struggle for supremacy in trade
and occupations mav view each
other with envv or suspicion, hut
when the bugle calls hey bury
strife and rally around tlie flag
companions and friends, mess
mates and chums, all lighting for
one flag, one cause and one coun
try.
The luxuries in life have al
ways been the great burden-bear
ers in government. We will men
tion a few of them giving the
annual contributions to the na
tion’s treasury: Liquor, $250,
000.000; tobacco, $102,000,000;
sugar. $54,000,000; silks. $15,500.
000; diamonds. $2,827,000; mil
linery, $2.470.000; furs. $2,024,
000 and automobiles $870,000.
The real problem of the farmer
is bow to sell bis products.
A shoat in the pen is worth a
ten dollar bill in the pocket.
