The war seems to have re
duced every resource of the
kaiser except his family That
still remains intact. Hohen
zollern patriotism is of the safe
variety.
Mayor Bill Thompson of
'Chicago has recently heard
from that city in no uncertain
terms. Since receiving the
message, his senatorial bee has
only a far-away buzzing sound.
No, the meatless and wheat
less days are not foolishness,
but just plain patriotism and
common sense. If you are not
observing them it is up to vou
to be ashamed of your patriot
ism.
It is announced that live
chickens may be sent by parcel
post after March 15, where
properly prepared for mailing.
But this has no reference to
“ehickens”that might flirt with
the postal employes and mail
clerks.
Fifty-seven restaurants were
closed up in one day recently
in New York City for violating
the federal food laws. Uncle
Sam is in earnest in his efforts
to conserve the food supply of
the nation, and the person who j
violates the food regulations
now is treading on dangerous
ground .
Hon. R. A. Dowdy of Bates
ville has been appointed cam
paign manager for Stephen
Brundidge and has assumed j
charge of Mr. Brundidge’s
headquarters in Little Rock.
Mr. Dowdy will find that
its some big job to pump new
life into a dead hoss.
The campaign to raise a
second 100,000,000 dollars for
war relief work has been an
nounced by the American Red
Cross. The campaign will be
gin May 6. It is announced
that the Red Cross has used
nearly ninety million dpllars
for war relief work during the
past year.
The efficacy and efficiency
of Socialism is now being ex
emplified in Russia where it
is having a free hand, and Rus
sia is the most despised nation
on earth today. Socialism is
an ideal thing to dream about
but when it begins to mix with
the practical affairs of men it
won’t stand.—Stephens News.
Another socialist leader, Vic
tor Berger, who was formerly
Congressman fiom the Milwau
kee district of Wisconsin, has
been indicted by a federal
grand jury charged with inter
fering with the prosecution of
the war and with disloyalty
Socialism is showing itself in
its true light in this country as
well as in Russia.
Russian Collapse is
No Great Menace
To U. S. Allies
Those overfearful Americans
who imagine the Russian col
lapse will work to the detri
ment of the Allies would do
well to take a second thought
and look at the situation more
closely- Russia’s plight is great
ly to be deplored from the
standpoint of freedom and
democracy. It is, however,
only what has been expected
for some time. Every since the
overthrow of the Kerensky
government, the Allies have an
ticipated just such an outcome
and have made ample provis
ions against it.
It is a mistake to think Ger
many will be able greatly to
re-enforce her armies on the
western front with troops tak
en from Russia. Germany has
overrun a large scope of terri
tory belonging to Russia, and
this territory she now demands
as included in the peace terms
so abjectly accepted by the
Bolsheviki government. But
demanding territory and hold
ing territory are two very dif
ferent propositions. This ter
ritory is peopled by many races
and by people of many shades
of political belief. At no time
has the Bolsheviki government
been in anything like entire
control. There have always
been disturbing elements, and
the mere occupation of the ter
ritory by Germany will not
tend to harmonize these oppos
ing elements. Germany will
be forced if she holds the con
qured territory, to keep large
standing armies there- In fact,
it is extremely doubtful, if she
can reduce her armies on the
eastern front to any extent,
and only future events will dis
close whether or not she will
actually be compelled to aug
ment them.
It is, unfortunately, true that
Germany’s occupation of the
Russian provinces has opened
for her a new source of sup
plies. This, however, is not in
itself a matter for great alarm.
CALLED HER FAMILY
TO HER DEDSICE
Six Tun Ago, Thinking She Might Die, Says Texas Lady, Bat Now
She Is a Well, Stroag Woman and Praises Cardd For
Her Recovery.
Royse City, Tex.—Mn. Mary Kll
mb, of this place, says; "After the
birth of my little girl.. .my aide com
menced to hart me. I had to go back
bed. We called the doctor. Be
me...bat I got no better. I
worn until the misery
was unbearable...I was In bed for

the better. That was six years ago
ind I am still here and am a well,
itrong woman, and I owe my life to
TardftL I had only taken, half tho
»ttle when I began to feel better,
rhe misery In my side got less... I
sontlnued right on taking the Cardul
mtll I had taken three bottles and I
lid not need any more for I was well
ind never felt better in my life... I
lave never had any trouble from that
lay to this.”
Do you suffer from headache, back-*
iche, pains In sides, or other discom
forts, each month? Or do you feel
ireak, nervous and fagged-out? If so,
give Cardul, the woman’s tonic, a
trial. J. 71
Germany has along had about j
all the supplies she could hand
le. The pathetic tales of Ger- i
man hunger and misery are a i
part of the shrewd german j
game to enlist the sympathy of
Americans and cause a letting
up of the strenuous program
that we have set ourselves. The
additional supplies will not go j
far toward a victory for the j
Teuton arms. Taken all in all j
whatever advantage Germany i
may derive from the conquer
ed Russian provinces is being
largely offset by the men and
supplies this country is steadi
ly putting on the western front.
Nothing would please Germany
more than for Americans to go
into a stewr over the Russian
collopse and imagine it has giv
en her great advantage. Ger
many has carefully cultivated
the delusion of her invincibility
It is her greatest card and she
plays it at every opportunity.
But the allies have pretty well
taken her measure and are
making thorough preparation
her.
The significance of the great
Russian collapse is the pity of
a great nation gone wrong
when such bright possibilities
were before it.

Liberty Loan will be opened on
the 6th of April, the anniver
sary of the declaration of a

ed States and Germany.

ditions of the loan are depend
nt upon further legislation and
will be announced as soon as
Congress has granted the nec
essary powers.
Secretary McAdoo chose the
6th of April as the day to open
the campaign as the most fit
ting date to call for a patriotic
response to the summons to
duty to every American citi
zen, to ask from the people at
home the same fervent patriot
ism that actuates our gallant
sons on the battlefields of
France and on the waters of
the Atlantic.

By J. L. Brown
What is this thing the world
calls wit?
That sometimes stings a little
bit.
But the sting is only half,
For oft the stung one has to
laugh
When he surveys the place it
hit
And notes the wisodm of the
fit
Wit is to wisdom but her dart9
That from the bow of humor
starts,
That a lodging place 'doth find
In the corresponding mind
That a rippling laugh doth
start
On the lips from out the heart.

&HJ3T RAISE GARDEN
Ruling cf Food Administrator
Makes it Compulsory
Hamp Williams, federal food
administrator for Arkansas,
has issued the following warn
ing.
It has come to my knowledge
that some planters in Arkan
sas have refused to furnish
their tenants with suitable
ground for home gardens and
I have also been informed that
a great many negroes in the
Delta on these plantations are
making no preparation what
ever for gardening.
Any planter refusing ground
to his tenants for gardening,
or any person in Arkansas
failing to make a garden thi •
year, where the opportunity is
offered and where ground is
availiable for that purpose.
will be regarded by the Feder
al . authorities as being un
friendly and unpatriotic to the
United States Government.

Federal Food Administrator for
Arkansas.

MEDICINE VS. FOOD
Do not buy something which
you already have. You have
j food which you feed your hor
ses, cattle and sheep, but when
you want medicine, buy only
medicine. That is what you
I get in B. A. Thomas’ Stock
Remedy. We sell it and guar
i antee ’it to be medicine. We tell
! you that it will tone up the en
: tire system of your stock and
aid digestion, thereby causing
them to get all the food value
out of the grain that you feed
them . F. C. HOYT & CO.
