Are Your Dollars
Worth More Than
A Soldier's Life?
Reports from authentic sour
ces say that American soldiers
in France who have fallen into
the hands of the Germans have
had their eyes gouged out.
Others have been nailed upon
crude crosses and crucified,
while others have been dis
membered by having their
hands, nose and ears cut off
and their person otherwise
brutallly mutilated.
The world has never known
a more brutal or barbarous
warfare than is now being
waged by the Germans, who
seem to be bent upon frighten
ing the world into submitting
to their tyranical rule.
These horrible and revolting
facts should spur every red
blooded American to subscribe
for Liberty Bonds to the full
limit of his or her resources.
The subscription to these
bonds will be regarded in the
eyes of the world as a baro
meter which will indicate the
spirit and determination of the
American people and will show
to the world whether or not
the people back at home are
standing whole heartedly back
of the American soldiers in
France.
The outcome of the Liberty
Loan Drive will indicate the
temper of the Amercan people
and the degree of their deter
mination to fight German sav
agery until it ceases to be a
menace to the peace and liber
ty of the world.
The Journal knows whereof
it speaks when we say that
there are a large number of
farmers in the vicinity of New
ark who should subscribe for
one hundred to one thousand
dollars worth of these bonds
There are many farmers in
this section who can do this
and not cripple temselves in
the least, financially.
What are you going to do
toward helping win this war
to free the world of German
savagery and brutality?
Are you content to let your
neighbors and your neighbors
sons do all the fighting and
furnish all the money, while
you pursue the even tenor of
'your way, interested only in
making money and in gainng
your own selfish ends?
What sort of a man are you
anyway? Are you a real, live,
red-blooded, patriotic Ameri
can, or are you just a piece of
flesh that cares nothing for
anybody or anything except
the gratification of your own
p erson a 1 d esi res ?
It may be true, as some claim
that if the United States loses
the war, that the Liberty
Bonds will not be worth any
thing. But if the United
States loses the war, not only
the Liberty Bonds, but every
form of investment, and the
lives of the people as well as
their property of all kinds,
will be in the gravest danger.
This is the very best reason
why the people should put
their money into Liberty Bonds,
in order to enable the United
States to win the war and there
by guarantee to the American
people their right to life, liber
ty and the pursuit of happi
ness.
What would our money be
worth, or what would our life
be worth, under the dominion
of German savagery?
If you would rather live the
lite of a vassal under the iron
rule of German savagery than
to be a free American citizen,
keep your money in your pock
et, or take it out and bury it,
and thus help the Kaiser to
prolong his savage warfare up
on human freedom.
Hut if you are a red-blooded
American who believes in Am
erican ideals and the freedom
and liberty of mankind, deny
yourself of a few of the un
necessary pleasures and gath
er up every dollar you can
spare and put it into Liberty
Bonds.
IT’S UP TO YOU.
Take your own measure, see
what sort of a man you are and
see what you stand for.
Only a few can hope to win
one of the crosses or medals
that the government has re
cently authorized, but the Lib
erty Loan button is a badge of
honor that is now within the
reach of ten million Americans.
A life for every foot of
ground is whatGermany is pay
ing for territory gained. But,
she probably thinks that lives
can be produced, while there
is only so much territory.
Many a “bone-head” uncon
sciously tells the truth when
he refers to him-self as a hard
headed man.
United States Senator Joe T.
Robinson was commended foi
“remaining at his post ot duty”
in Washington by 15 of the 18
members of the Federal Grand
Jury, now in session in Little
Rock in a signed letter sent to
Senator Robinson by the jury
Tuesday, A part of the letter
follows: “We commend you
for remaining at your post of
duty at this time when your
services are so necessary. We
deplore the fact that you have
an opponent now canvassing
the state. This is no time for
political campaigns. Our peo
ple are interested in the suc
cessful conclusion of the war
and those who are able ana
have and are supporting the
president should have no op
position.”
Arkansas hotels and restaur
ants will be “wheatless” after
next Sunday, until the new;
wheat crop comes in, if all the
hotels and restaurants observe
a resolution adopted at a meet
ing of the hotel and restaurant
men of the state, held at Lit
tle Rock last Tuesday. The ac
tion of the hotel and restaur
ant men of the state, will mean
the saving of 2,500 barrels of
flour in Arkansas.
The producton of a big crop
is of far more importance just
at this time than the settlement
of petty differences and diffi
culties and Judge Coleman did
a wise thing last Monday when
he adjourned court until the
regular fall term
You may set the clock ahead
according to orders, but did
you think to tell old Chanti
cleer to get on the job an hour
earlier in the morning.
If words would win the war.1
there are people in this com- j
munity and in all others, no
doubt, who would be capable j
of doing yeoman service. But
words will not win. Talk is
said to be “cheap” but in the
present emergency we are con
strained to believe it comes
very high. What is needed
now' is not words, but deeds.
Get down to business and brass
tacks. DO SOMETHING.
Hustle. Raise something to
eat, or clothe somebody, or do
something to supply some other
necessity. Work, work, and
keep on working, and let the
words stay in the dictionary.
Theyr’e not needed.
St- Francis county has just
let the contract for the con
struction of 35 miles of good
road,at a cost of $98,927. More
good roads is one of the states
greatest needs, and the letting
of contracts like this is one of
the most important steps in the
march of progress.
