Movement Under Full Headway In Union Co.,
But Must Be Kept Up.
iVe Felsenthal, representing the
El Dorado Business Mens’ league,
was here last Friday night and a
local committee was organized
with G. T. Thompson as chairman
and T. B. Weaver as secretary, to
cooparate with them in the cam
paign to "Let Union County Feed
Herself’ during the present war
crisis, thereby 'doing our share in
preventing the importation into our
Southland of $1,000,000,00 worth
of food stuffs from the West and
North that this vast amount of the
necessaries of life formerly con
sumed in the South may be sent to j
the armies of the allies where it is
needed more than men to win the
gigantic war in which two-thirds |
of the world is now engaged.
Mr. Felsenthal made a short
talk at the school house Friday
night just before the lyceum pro
gram and G. T. Thompson spoke at
Smith’s Chapel west of town Sun
day morning at 1 1 o’clock and C.
A. Berry at Okalona church 12:30
Sunday. Rev. E. F. Cole and Rev.
A. Turrentine spoke at the colored
church here Sunday afternoon at 3
o’clock and all the meetings were
well attended and considerable in
terest manifested.
Ex-president Tatfs illustration |
of when to shoot a submarine isj
also applicable to the present food j
crisis. He said shoot when you see '
the periscope because if a man |
places a loaded gun at your head
the coroner’s inquest is no place to
get busy. Now is the time to plant i
what we must eat as it^will be too j
late this fall and winter when we ,
all may be hungry.
every farmer in union county
can be patriotic as well as those in
the army facing the bullets bv
helping to feed our own people and
release what we have been import
ing to feed the boys in the trenches.
The man who fails to do this is on
the other hand as much of a cow
ard as the man who refuses to en
list in the army or navy when his
country calls.
The Business Mens’ league and j
other merchants throughout the
county will assist the farmers in
every way to get any seed they
want and also assist them in selling
any surplus crops they may have.
A War Bank.
Mr. Editor:
The American war food situation
and Assistant Secretary of Agri
culture Carl Vrooman’s tour of the
South and West, bringing us a
message from President Wilson,
must convince us that each indi-|
vidual as weli as every class,
should be patriotism by attention to
preparedness: by doing a full share
to forestall in America the hunger
calamity that has befallen Germa
ny.
The Federal Land Bank, by low
ering interest rates and a ranging
for long time loans, relieves the
farmer of worry, and thus sharp
ens his mind and speeds up his
physical energies. The local bank
ers can cooperate with us—and we
feel certain they will—by cheerful
ly granting temporary assistance to
the farmer whose oblagations ma
ture on a date earlier than can be
reached by him through his Nation
al Farm Loan association. The
farmer may need the money for
fertilizer, which would increase the
crop yield: or for improved imple
ments, or for an additional team
which would allow him to widen his
cultivated acreage; or he may need
fencing so that he can get his herd
of hogs on to grass; and by those
means swell the total of food pro
duced. It is a patriotic act to help
t
him and thus increase his output.
So far as information is in the
hands of this Federal Land Bank,
the bankers, as a class, stand ready
and willing to grant this help. Go
operation by our fellow bankers
throughout the farming districts
will be appreciated by us, and
would prove their patriotism to all
observers in a most convincing
manner. In the meantime the
Federal Land Bank of St. Louis
has reached the point of approved
forms for carrying on the business,
and it only remains to have them
printed and distributed when the
appraisers for this bank will be en
gaged in visits to Farm Loan asso
ciations for the purpose of final ap
proval of loans.

Kill flies and Save Lives.
Kill at once every fly you can
find and burn his body.
Observers say that there are
many reasons to believe there will
be more flies this season than for a
number of years.
The killing of one fly now means
there will be billions and trillions
less next summer.
Clean up your premises; see and
insist that neighbor does likewise.
Especially clean "out-of-the
way,” and every nook and cranny.
Flies will not go where there is
nothing to eat, and their principal
diet is too filthy to mention.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local application*, a* they cannot reach
the discard portion of the ear. There
Is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness Is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling Bound or
imperfect hearing, and when it Ib entirely
closed, Dc&fnsss is the result. Unless the
inflammation can be reduced and thiB tube
restored to it* normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which Is
an Inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Hall’s Catarrh Cure acts thru the
blood on the mucous surfaces of the sys
tem.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Circulars

When Should a Boy Not Be
Whipped.
We all know that somewhere be
tween boyhood and manhood
whipping must be, and is stopped.
Scientists not only have given us a
reason, but have indicated about
when in life this difference is made.
Great men who have made a life
time study of the matter, tell us
that man’s nature is divided into
three parts—vital, mental, emo
tional; that we are born almost
wholly animal, and education con
sists. primarily, in developing the
mental and emontional sidss of our
nature. Trainers whip their
horses and dogs: and for that same,
reason, teachers whip their little
boys and girls. As these boys and
girls grow older, they are whipped
less and less until, after awhile,
whipping ceases entirely. They
have outgrown their animal nature;
their mental and emotional side
have become stronger than the vi
tal. The little boy and girl boing[
almost all vital, or animal, required '
^ many whippings: and the big boy
and girl the man and the woman
—are appealed to through reason.
But parents are slow to recog
nize this growth and change in
their children. I have had parents
of sixteen and eighteen year old
boys tell me that they are sending
their boys to schooi: if they do not
behave, thrash them. I cannot
help wondering what such a parent'
would advise should he himself be
the one coming to school. 1 be-1
lieve he would say, "Show me
where J have done wrong and I will
do all possible to correct the mis
take and its influence; if 1 do not.
then put me out of the school."
In dealing out pnnishment to our
boys and girls, let us recognize
their mental growth. Mental
punishment can be made many
times more severe than any whip
ping that can be given. On the
other hand, whipping can arouse
the worst there is in a man: it
makes him either a criminal or a
slave.
Take an interest in your boy.
Talk to him. Reason with him.
If he is shrewd, if he recognizes
the point in your argument, if he
out-matches you do not thrash
him. When he needs punishment,
give it through mental discomfort
in a way that will cause him to
| recognize what he has been doing
.and correct himself. Make him
| self-reliabie ana manly.
