91 'HE American people fought their first
* battles for liberty and the rights of self
government one hundred and forty-two
years ago.
9 At that lime, and for many yean thereafter,
their realization of their national aspirations and of
the goal toward which they were really striving
was vague and indistinct. But step by step they
struggled onward and upward toward a light which
grew dearer as their eyes and minds slowly opened
to its significance. Today, as a result of their strug
gles and their sacrifices, we possess and enjoy our
priceless American institutions.
tjf These institutions must be preserved. The
structure so laboriously reared in these one hun
dred and forty-two years will be utterly destroyed
if we do not spring to its defense with every atom
of our energy and determination. This is not a
situation which may be trifled with, or evaded, or
put off. It is one which must be met now— today
— no matter what sacrifices it may entail, or what
the cost may be.

BETTER FARMING HINTS
“Have you noted the violent
drops on cotton of anywhere
from 1-2 to 2 cents per pound
per day? Have you noted
that July cotton dropped $32.
per bale between April 4 and
16? Better be careful and
play safe,” says W. C. Lassi
ter, Director of the Agricultur
al Extension Division. “You
cannot afford to take chances
this year with such uncertain
ities relative to the cotton mar
ket looming up. Remember,
the safe farming program—
an ample food and feed supply
first, then all the cotton you
can grow for cash.
Phillips county has the dis
tinction of being the first coun
ty in the state to finish sign
ing the food pledge cards sent
out by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture and Extension Di
vision of the University of
Arkansas. Six thousand five
hundred and eighty-two far
mers have signed the pledge
to plant 40 per cent of their
tillable land in food and feed
crops this year and these men
now display the Honor card
issued by tne government. The
government is not asking any
thing unreasonable. If sim
ply wants us to take care of
ourselves so we shall not be a
drag on the rest of the Nation
and in casc of shortage of cars
really suffer from lack of fore
sight. This is a real danger
if we do not raise our own food
and feed. Everyone should
produce their own hay crops
and meat and then all of the
cotton possible for cash. See
your county agent and sign the
pledge today. Do not worry,
the government will know the
slackers, and whether those
who raise only cotton will be
sblc to secure supplies next
fall and winter will depend
