eggs to the food supply of the
Nation. These ggs are valu

from insects, grass, garbage

are wholly a net gain in human
food. Morever, the hen is just
as good meat after she has laid
the eggs as before. Save the

OUR PRESIDENT
President Wilson—you have
heard of his fame—
Every child in the land should
know his name;
Should learn of his wisdom,
day by day,
And Oh! How I wish we could
hear him say:
“You shall not conquer you
naughty Hun;
We will not quit the field till
the battle is won.
Think how you have treated
poor Belgium and France,
And How you have given child
ren the lance.
Thy cold blooded murders
shall be revenged,
For we will chase you to
your den;
We will kill your kaiser and
your men,
And give Wilson the glory for
ever, Amen.

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION
—
A surprise dinner arranged ;
by relatives of Mr- and Mrs. j
J. H. Me Denied was given last
Tuesday to celebrate the 65lh
anniversary of Brother Mc
Doniel. |
Those present were: Mr. and
Mrs. Will McDoniel and fam
ily, Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Mag
ness and family, Mr. and Mrs.
G- W. McDoniel anti family.
Mr. and Mrs. G. W. McDoniel

family, Mr and Mrs. J. A. Mc-|
Doniel and family, Mrs. Farley
Cash, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Mc
Doniel, Miss Maud McDoniel,
Mrs. Nan Watts anti Dr. V. L. i
Pascoe. !
All of the family were pres
ent except Mrs. T. O- Smith
of Russellville, Ark. There i
were about 40 present and the j
affair was a complete surprise i
to Brother McDoniel. His 1
children presented to him a 3
fine chair which was another 3
complete surprise. The day
was greatly enjoyed by all ■
present.
It is reported that Dr. Pas
coe tlid his level best to make
a showing at the table but fail
ed to bring about any visible
results. We know from that
fact, that food was in abun
dance. It is well "that Broth
er McDoniel has reared his
children right, and has given
to all his friends such good
admonition that they volun
tarily pay him a tribute of such
high respect, which he so richly
deserves. We hope when
these pleasant reunions of life
areover we can all reunite with
Brother and Sister McDoniel in
the grand and glorious eternal
reunion in that happy home
of Homes.
A FRIEND.
IT DIDN’T WORK
An old darkey who lived
some distance from town had a
very sick mule. He drove into
town to see the village veteri
narian. The doctor told him
to get a pound of calomel and
a hollow glass tube and blow
the calomel through the tube
down the mules throat.
A day or two later the dark-1
ey appeared in town looking
very dejected and pale. He J
met the doctor on the streeti
and said : “Say, boss, I got the
calomel and the tube and put
the calmoel in the tube—”
“Yes?” inquired the doctor,
and did you blow it down his
throat?”
“No, boss, no sail! Old Pete
he done went and blowed
first.”

The plan of the government
to raise revenue through the
sale of war savings stamps is
one of the most commendable
plans yet instituted. The sale
of liberty bonds was and is
necessarily circumscribed be
cause these bonds could not be
issued in small denominations
sufficient to include the small
savings of the millions who
handle only small means. With
the savings stamps, however,
all can have a hand in finan
cing their government. Millions
who felt themselves unable to
spare the amount of a bond
can contribute through this
channel. And the fact that
every penny invested in these
stamps is so much saved and
invested at a profit, should in
spire in the American people a
spirit of thrft and saving that
has heretofore been totally for
eign to our nature. The res
ponse should be universal.

Will you wet down your roughage and

SOME farmers are still paying top prices for old style
cottonseed hulls because they prefer a bulky filler.
Others are paying much less for

and are making them as bulky as old style hulls by
wetting them down a half hour or so before using.
By adding an equal part of water to Buckeye Hulls and
stirring thoroughly they will swell and give you as bulky
a roughage as you want. Most important, the bulki
ness will be due to water which is of value to your cattle
not to lint which has no food value whatever.
