WHERE HINDENBURG
WILL GET HIS.
When our troops first be
gan crossing the Atlantic there
was a general feeling of dread
throughout the country that
they would be at the mercy of
the enemy submarines. As the
time passes, however, and our
transports, one after another
arrive safely on the other side
and return for another load,
this feeling is gradually leav
ing the public mind, and we
look with confidence to the
prospect of putting millions of
men into France with a mini
mom of loss from the assassins
of the sea.
It might be well to mention
the two leading agencies in this
task of rendering the passage
of our troops comparatively
safe. Some have criticised our
navy for seeming inactivity,
appearing not to know that but
for it our troops would be at
the mercy of the undersea
boats.
A German military expert,
in explaining that country’s
poor success in preventing the
passage of our troops says:
“American transports travel in
convoys well protected against
attack, and are very fast. Thus
the submarines have a most
difficult and dangerous task.
It is not important for us to
destroy American troops, llin
denburg will take care of that.
What we must destroy are ton
nage and cargoes.”
W'hich is a very sensible]
manner of viewing the ques
tion, but which Americans
would call “Passing the buck.”
The subs are perfectly wil
ling to let Hindenburg attend
to the troops, and every Am
erican heartily agrees in the
sentiment. The troops them
selves are equally willing and
ready to attend to Hindenburg
f
Let’s cut the weeds!
A mule never kicks at noth
ing—some men do.
It has again been definitely
established that this country
turns out a good brand of
fighting men.
Every man,woman and child
can help win the war. Every
man, woman or child who buys
a Liberty Bond or a War Sav
ings Stamp does something to
help his government win the
war.
An exchange says that the
twenty-second verse of the for
ty-eigth chapter of Isaiah very
fully fits the case of Kaiser
Bill. We don’t know what it
is, so you can look it up and
decide for yourself.
There are enemy aliens and
there are native aliens. The
American who does not do his
part toward the winning of
the war, who neither fights nor
works nor lends for victory is
as much an alien to America’s
purposes and America’s cause
as the rankest Prussian intern
ed in this country.

-O
PLANT FALL POTATOES
Arkansas needs a crop of
Irish potatoes for next winter’s
home use and one that will
keep for the best prices . Fall
potatoes should be planted
July 15 to August 1. Two or
three weeks before planting,
seed potatoes should be put in
semi-shady place, piled not
more than 4 inches deep, cov
ered with old straw and leaves
and kept moist until they be
[gan to sprout. As soon as
sprouts are one fourth of an
inch long, plant a little deeper
than is required for the early
crop and cover as soon as pos
sible to avoid damage from the
hot sun.

Thanks American
Mothers in Behalf
Women of France
On the occassion of Mother’s
Day, which is ot American ori
gin, and which was this year
observerd for the first time
throghout France, Mme. Ray
mond Poincare, wife of the
President of France, wrote the
following letter, prompted by
the observance of Mothers Day
to Mrs. Sharp, wife of the Am
erican Ambassador, with the
request that she convey it to
Mrs. Wilson and to the found
ers of Mother’s Day:—
Dear Mrs. Sharp:
At the moment, when the
United States, true to its very
touching custom, is about to
celebrate Mother’s Day, allow
me to say in the name of the
three societies of the French
Red Cross, how earnestly we
wish to share in this demon
stration of gratitude toward
the valiant mothers who have
reared the children of noble
America, and how deeply our
sentiments are in unison with
theirs on this holy occassion.
From the very beginning of
the war, American mothers,
with tender care sent us their
children’s toys to serve for our
own. Then they themselves
I came among us and enlisted, in
ever-growing numbers, in our
hospital units. Even before
your great country entered the
struggle, they lavished upon us
treasurers of devotion and gen
erosity
Now that they see their hus
bands, their brothers, and their
sons cross the ocean to France
in order to fight under the star
spangled banner, their courage
is put to the severe test which
the women of France have ex
perienced during so many
months.
They may rest assured '"hat
their dear ones, whom their
thoughts are accompanying up
on the battlefields, will find
here the most cordial of wel
comes and the most attentive
care.
I earnestly hope that this as
surance may bring comfort to
them- In spite of distance,
French women will henceforth
ieel that they are near Amer
ican women. For both are
closely united in the same du
ties and the same patriotic as
pirations.
This is what the societks of
the Red Cross have asked me
to tell you today, faithfully in
erpreting the sentiments which
inspire all the women of
France.
With warm regard,dear Mrs.
Sharp, I am yours sincerely.
(Signed) Henriette Poincare.
O
IN MEMORY
On the 23rd day of .June,
1918, death claimed Mrs.
Florence Grafton Young. She
had suffered intensely for 3
weeks and was very patient
and anxious to get well. She
was born Sept. 5, 1891, was
twenty seven years old. She
was just in the bloom of life,
and it is so hard to give her up
yet God’s will be done. She
left a husband and two chil
dren, eight and six years old,
a father and mother, two sis
ters and a brother to mourn for
her, besides a host of relatives
and friends. She was a good
wife and a good mother and
we are lonely now. I want to
thank all the neighbors and
friends for their kind assistance
during her illness and death.
Her sorrowing husband,
GEORGE YOUNG.

THE SUGAR SITUATION
There is no use in disguising
the fact any longer. We are
face to face with a sugar short
age. We must meet conditions
as they exist and economize in
the use of sugar.
The latest order restricts the
use to three pounds, to each in
dividual a month. More liber
al amounts can be purchased
for preserving and canning,
but affidavits must be given
that it will only be used for
that purpose.
A year ago domestic use of
sugar in this country was 55
pounds, its total use 90 pounds
a person, a needless and often
a harmful indulgence.
Three pounds a person per
month means that the restric
tion placed on the American
consumer will be 36 pounds a
year. This is considerable less
than 90 pounds a year. It is
less than half of what we were
using a year ago and then we
have the assurance of those in
authority that it is not a reas
onable certainty that we mav
not have to do without even
less.
Lhe tact is that we have ov
erindulged in sugar. We must
manage in some way to res
train our appetities in the line
of sweets. We can, if we make
up our minds to do it, do with
out so much sweets.
The purpose of the govern
ment is admirable- It will per
mit dealers to sell sugar for
preserving, for in the long
weeks of winter sweets are
necessary, but it will not per
mit this sugar to be used other
wise than canning, jelly mak
ing or preserving. It cannot
be used for cake making or for
making tries.
It is in dishes of this kind
that we must learn to do with
out. We must have no more
unnecessary deserts for dinner.
You will find that they are
unnecessary arid that it will
help your digestion by leaving
them off for awhile.
In August, a year ago, Great
Britain reduced households to
24 pounds a year. In Septem
ber France cut the supply to
13 pounds, and both restricted
commercial use.
Now we are asked to do bet
ter and we can do better.
Households are asked to get
■ along on 3G pounds a year pei
person and we can. C an there
be any doubt about what Am
ericans will do? We will save
sugar for war for our bo\s
over there and cut our con
sumption down, beginning at
1 once.
