Investing is Not Only Duty
But Brings Profit
By John C. Futrall
The supreme duty of «|Ter,;
American citizen is unswe^ng
loyalty and whole-hearted de
votion to his country. Words
of loyalty and feelings ■Qf de
votion are worthless unless ac
companied by action. Thous
ands of our boys are already
lacing death in all the forms
which diabolical Prussian in
genuity can devise. But their
sacrifices will be of no avail un
less the people at home—all
the people—steel themselves
for the greatest effort that a
n at inn pan mnkp
To us the war seems far
away. The oft repeated state
fents aboutGerman creulty and
ruthlessness, about the German
desire to enslave the world and
to trample under foot all op
position, frequently fall mean
ingless upon our ears. But a<
sure as the sun j-ises in the
heavens, the triumph of Ger
many is this war means the end
of thac glorious political and
economic freedom which has
made America a synonym for
liberty and has opened the
door of hope to millions of
human beings,
It is the duty* of jftte govern
plans for carrying on the war,
but to execute these plans the
government must have the co
operation and instance of all
its people. The prime neces
sity is money with which to
provide the sinews of war
Early in April we shall be
asked to subscribe to the third
issue of Liberty Bonds. A man
who subscribes to these bonds
is not «only doing his patriotic
duty but he is looking after his
own personal interests as well.
Money thus invested is not a
gift. It is a loan, and the se
curity ist the best that can be
found on earth for these bonds
are practically equivalent to a
mortgage on all the property
of the United States.
And the United States is
three times' richer than any
other nation in the world.
Just as it is the duty of per
sons of large means to buy
heavily of these bonds, so it is
no less the duty of the person?
of small means to buy small
amounts. Nor is the duty con.
i fined to the man who has mon
ey lying idle in the bank.
We must buy Liberty Bonds,
S even if it means for the present
cutting off of luxuries and of
some things that may appear to
be necessities.

L. F. REEDER ANNOUNCES
FOR CHANCERY JUDGE
Hon. Lyman F. Reeder, of
Batesville, whose announce
ment for the office of Chancell
or appears in the proper col
umn of this paper is no strang
er to the people of Newark and
Independence county, having
been actively engaged in the
practice of law at Batesville
for eighteen years.
Mr. Reeder has never be
fore asked the people of Inde
pendence county, or of the dis
trict, for any office, whatever,
ana nas frequently stated that
he would never enter politics,
but in view of the solicitations
which have come to him from
all over the district, he has be
come a candidate for this of
fice, which is now held by
Judge Geo. T. Humphries, of
Fulton county, he having been
appointed by the Governor
some sixteen years ago, when
the office was created.
Mr. Reeder is an authority
on law, being one of the most
diligent and searching stu
dents North Arkansas ever pro
duced. More than once he has
been the subject of favorable
comment from the judges of
the Arkansas Supreme Court
who have been presented with
cases in which Mr Reeder had
prepared the briefs.
It is no exaggeration to say
that he possesses one of the
best judicial minds in the state,
and as a man and a citizen he
holds the confidence and es
teem of all who know him.
He would make a splendid
chancery judige and the peo
ple of Independence county
should give him their loyal
support.
