The Liberty Loan has provided
the small investor with his long
sought opportunity to get in on the
ground floor.
If America succeeds in stopping
the submarine, no doubt Great
Britain will forgive her for having
invented it.
If the German government pro
ceeds with its cruelties the Turks
will probably repudiate it and make
separate peace.
There is no reproach in being
drafted for the army or navy under
the proposed plan, but if one wish
es one may volunteer and not wait
for the draft.
Many persons regard the saving
of small amounts of left-over food
as unimportant. If they kept ac
curate account, however, for any
period, many families would be as
tounded by the amount of good
food they are throwing out and by
the sums they are paying to re
place good food being absolutely
wasted. _
Many copies of President Wil
son's war message printed in Ger
man, which the New York World
was instrumental in placing inside
the Kaiser’s lines by airplane, are
said to have been destroyed by fire
as soon as officers could gather
them up. Such as escape this fate
may generate even greater heat,
for they contained words that will
burn and blister for many a day to
come.
PEOPLE PAY AEEANTA EIRE LOSS.
The insurance companies are not
going to pay the three or more
million dollars representing the fire
loss in the big Atlanta conflagtion
which happened Monday of this
week.
Three million or more dollars
worth of property was wiped out
and not a cent's worth of the loss
was covered by insurance. Mill
ions cf dollars will be paid back to
tne owners of the property by in
surance companies, but this is a
good time to emphasize the fact,
says J. S. Speed, the Arkansas fire
prevention and insurance expert,
that the insurance companies do
not furnish the money to pay the
losses and that no loss is "covered”
by insurance.
The loss is paid by the public
and the burden is distributed over
the shoulders of many people by
the insurance companies. If it
were not for insurance the people
of Atlanta would be crushed by the
burden concentrated upon them
alone. But when three million
dollars worth of property -the
fruit of human energy—is wiped
out of existence three million dol
lars in go'd might as well be buried
in the middle of the Atlantic.
When, oh when, will the Ameri
can people learn this lesson?

There ia more Catarrh In this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and for years It was sup
posed to be Incurable. Doctors pre
scribed local remedies, and by constant
ly falling to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Catarrh is a
local disease, greatly influenced by con
stitutional conditions and therefore re
quires constitutional treatment. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by P. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is a consti
tutional remedy, is taken internally

^ BETTER FARMING HINTS. W
PLANT MORE SWEET POTATOES.
“Every farmer in Arkansas
should plant more sweet potatoes,"
says J. S. Knox, horticulturist with
the Extension Division of the Uni
versity. "An acre or two of sweet
potatoes should be grown or at
least enough to supply the family
for the winter and early spring.
There is still time to start a crop
of sweet potatoes and it will pay
every farmer to make a special ef
fort to grow a good supply since
the prices will, undoubtedly, be
better than in years. There has
been some difficulty experienced
by a few in storing their sweet po
tatoes so that they would keep
throughout the winter, but there is
no need of loss if sweet potatoes
are handled properly and at sweet
potato digging time information
concerning the proper storage can
be had without expense from the
Extension Division.
SAVE THE SURPLUS.
“Save the surplus every day,
even though that surplus be but a
pint of beans, peas, or anything
else which can be used for food
next winter,” says Miss Emma Ar
cher, state home demonstration
agent with the Extension Division.
“Every effort should be made to
can such vegetables as beans, egg
plants, beets, carrots, okra, peas,
squash, sweet corn, peppers, etc.”
Drop a card to Miss Archer, old
state house. Little Rock, and in
formation concerning canning and
preserving food stuffs of all kinds
will be furnished to any woman in
the state. Get your canners ready.
DESTROY GARDEN PESTS.
“Do not let the insect pests
ruin your garden or truct crops.
Your vegetables are too valuable.
Destroy these pests as soon as
they appear,” says Geo. G. Becker,
entomologist with the College of
Agriculture of the University. "Cut
worms are best controlled by using !
a poisoned bait consisting of 3
pounds of wheat bran with which
has been thoroughly mixed 2 j
ounces of Paris green and 1 cup of
cheap sugar. After mixing the1
Paris green and bran make the

TABLETS
THIS is just what you need, madam. Many
women who were troubled with indigestion, a
sallow, muddy skin, indicating biliousness and
habitual constipation, have been permanently cured
by the use of Chamberlain’s Tablets. Before using
these tablets they felt miserable and despondent.
Now they are cheerful and happy and relish their
meals. Try them. They only cost a quarter.

poisoned bran into a dough with
the syrup, scatter this mixture
around the hills where cut worms
have been working along fence
rows where they usually emerge.
“Cabbage worms can be con
trolled by using applications of 1
ounce of arsenic of lead paste or '2
ounce of the powder of arsenic of
lead in 1 gallon of water. To this
it is advisable to add about X
ounce of any kind of soap in order
to make the solution stick to the
cabbage leaves. Apply ever 10
days until two weeks before using.
If the outer leaves are discarded
there is no danger from the poison.
"For potato bugs, dust the pota
to vines as often as necessary w'th
a mixture of 1 part by weight, of
Paris green to 24 parts of lime
dust, or better than this, if one has
the means of applying the pioson in
a liquid spray, is a mixture consist
ing of 1 ounce of arsenic of lead
paste, or ,'2 ounce of the powder
and '4 ounce of Paris green in a
gallon of water. This mixture
should be applied about ever ten
days.
"Cucumber beetles, rather small
and lemon yellow in color, with
three white stripes down the back,
are usually a great menace to
growers of squash, melons, cucum
bers and related plants. They
should be controlled by dusting
with arsenic of lead or by spraying,
using 1 '2 pounds of powder or S
pounds paste and 50 gallons of
water. About 2 pounds of soap
should be added to make the spray
stick to the plants.
"Plant lice should be controlled
most conveniently by spraying with
one of the nicotic products found
on the market. 'Black Leaf 40' is
the most common product known
in Arkansas.
"Farmers and gardners who
have difficulty in controlling the
pests which attack their crops
should write to the State Entomo
logist at the University of Arkan
sas,* Fayetteville, for circulars
which deal with these pests and
their control. They will be sent
free upon application.”
