that his neighbor does to, that

MIST TEED OURSEIVJES.
Conditions are Serious: the time
is perilious. War is declared and
our csuntry is - )0W a party to the
world's gre'^ conflicf of arms.
Everything depends upon the farm
er’/°r h e mUst furnish food and
r'' .othir .g while the nation fights.
Upon the conservative , and intelli
gent. course of the American farm
er clepenas the well-being of our
people, and in a large measure our
success in war. War time prices
have prevailed for the past several
months. Prices of food stuff are
now beyond reason, and we have
only just declared war. The in
fluence of the European war has
touched every domestic hearth
stone. It has brought prosperity
to some, and the pinch or nungcr
toothers. It brought us 16 to 20
cent cotton last fall, and later on
the food stuff value soared so high
that 20-cent cotton begins to pale
by contrast. Now that we have
declared war, that we are at war.
and a party to the great world-wide
military struggle, what may we ex
pect to follow? We all know what
high prices mean. High prices
mean scarcity. If the world's sup
ply gets scarce, what - happens?
Somebody goes hungry: somebody
does without, or everybody lives on
less. Let us face the music, be
men and meet the condition and
discharge our obligation. Let us
act thoughtfully, conservatively
aad intelligently.
The orders have been issued
that unless Arkansas raises all the
wheat, corn, oats, potatoes, veget
ables, etc., £hat are necessary for
her people to eat they will not eat
those things as Height cars will not
be available to ship them in here i
from other states even if they were
not needed there and for the i
armies. Every farmer in Arkan
sas should feel the enormous re
sponsibilty that rests upon him and
do his share, if he does not thous
ands will suffer.

“Granny” Chamberlain
Whooping Cough
“The disease I most dread is Whoop
ing Cough, for children are often perma
nently injured by the awful straining of
the cough. You should never neglect
it, and treatment should be started at the first symptom. You
cannot mistake the symptoms: protracted coughing, worse at
night; peculiar whoop; labored expectoration of rnucus; ap
parent suffocation after coughing.
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
is a positive remedy for this disease—repeat the dose frequently,
for if given freely it liquifies the tough mucus, makes it easy to
expectorate and counteracts any tendency toward pneumonia.
There is no danger whatever from Whooping Cough when
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is freely given.”
