STEVE CAN STAND
AWHILE LONGER
It is announced that former
Congressman S. Brundidge of
Searcy will be a candidate for
U. S. Senator to succeed Sen
ator Joe T. Robinsin. Mr. Brun
didge is an able man but he has
reached the “has been” stage
In Arkansas politics and his
chances of going to the Senate
are rather slim—Newark Jour
nal.
The above coming from a
paper published in Mr. Brun
didge’s immediate territory is
significant, and shows that he
cannot depend on the unani
mous support of the newspa
pers in his part of the State for
support.
The editor of The News has
always had a very high regard
for Mr. Brundidge. We consid
er him one of the ablest men in
the State, and under ordinary
circumstances would make Ar
kansas a good senator, but at
the present time we do not be
lieve it wise to swap horses.
We have never been a sup- i
porter of Senator Robinson un- '
til now. We did not support •
him for governor and in the '
Legislature of 1913 we voted 1
for Mr. Brundidge for the sen- 1
ate when Robinson was elect- 1
ed.
We are for Robinson be
cause he has been true to the
President and to the nation in
the great struggle which is
now taxing every ounce of our
strength and energy. Mr. Brun
didge might be just as true,
but we don’t know it, and it
would be a sad mistake to take
chances now.The dstiny of the
nation is too great to barter in
men’s ambition and to satisfy
political grudges.
Mr. Brundidge has been a
standing candidate for years
and we feel sure it will not
hurt him to stand a while long
er. We are in war up to our
chins and we want to win it,
and the surest way to do that is
not to unharness the men who
are pulling true or rock the
boat.
The patriotic thing to do is
to send Joe Robinson back to
the Senate.—Stephens News.
Russia is officially out of the
war against Germany. But it
was not the great Russian na
tion that took this step; it was
a shattered country, an empire
broken into little countries
which by themselves could not,
if they wished, put up a vigor
ous resistance against the
trained German and Austrian
veterans. “In union there is
strength.” When the unity of
he Russian people was broken
;he downfall of the Russian na
:ion was bound to come.
The State Council of De
fense, at a meeting in Little
ttock last Monday, adopted a
•esolution recommending to
he mayors, constables and
sheriffs of the state a rigid en
'orcement of the vagrancy
aws. “Go to work or go to
var,” is a good slogan and the
)fficers and the citizens of Ar
ansas should see that it is en
forced. The man who will nei
her work nor fight ought to
fiave to go hungry.
The Administration has wak
ed up to the fact that it has a
Stone tied to its neck.

If you are really interested 1
in the outcome of the war,
don’t help Germany by wast
ing the supply of food that is
necessary to win the war.
Money may make the mare
go, but what interests the av
erage man more than that is
the fact that he must keep the
mare going to make money.
Wisdom consists not in an
abundance of smartness, but
mostly in a sane use of what
little common sense we are for

The country seems inclined
to gently remind T. R. of his

TO STOP LOSS OF
150,000,000 EGGS
Farmers Urged to Keep All
Hens Until After Close of
Laying Season
Over 150,000,000 eggs will
be lost to the food supply of
the United States if the old
practice of sending hens to
market at this season is con
tinued. Figures compiled by
the poultry specialists of the
United States Department of
Agriculture show that more
than 5,000,000 laying hens,
each capable of producing 30
eggs, are sent to market from
the Southern States in the win
ter and early spring.
Every effort, therefore, is
being made to encourage far
mers to keep thier hens until
after the spring laying season,
thereby getting a dividend for
keeping the hen through the
winter. When a hen is sold for
meat early in the spring, the
farmer gets no egg return for
feeding and keeping her
through the worse months of
the year.
Morever, the hen is market
able as poultry after she has
produced her spring eggs.
Poultry in May may bring 2
cents a pound less than it does
in February, but the 30 eggs
produced by the hen, largely
from wastes, more than offset
any reduction in the price of
fered for live poultry.
An energetic egg-saving
campaign to prevent early
slaughter of the hen that “lays
me golden egg’’ is now being
conducted throughout the Sou
thern States. North of the Ohio
River, farmers have long ap
preciated the advantage of
getting the spring crop of eggs
and marketing their hens after
the laying season or in the fall.
The edoption of this plan by
southern chicken raisers will
be profitable and will materi
ally add to the food supply of
the Nation.
