THE FARMERS GIVE A
BUSHEL WAR FUND
(Continued from front page)
Senator Robinson told Presi
dent Wilson that Arkansas will
give bushels to the amount of
a million dollars. It is estimat
ed that the entire United Stat
es will produce one hundred
million dollars. President Wil
son says: “I have vision enough
to see its wonderful possibili
ties.” This movement has the
endorsement and active sup
nort of ovorv branch of our
National and State Govern
ments. Arkansas already has
the honor of having returned
four times as much flour to our
I Government as all the other
States combined, and now hay
ing started this great work in
her borders the eyes of the Na
tion are upon us.
If it were not for the drouth
Arkansas alone would produce
a million and a half dollars,
but we are in the grip of one
of the worst drouth the State
has ever known. At the same
time, we must not forget that
we are in the worst war the
world has ever known, and in
all history men have never
| been asked to face what our
i boys are facing “Over There”
and with what wonderful suc
cess they are doing their full
duty. There is no drouth or
other condition that prevents
them from giving their all,
even life, if need be, and we
must not let anything prevent
us from doing our full duty
over here. If there is a man,
woman or child in the State
of Arkansas who does not love
those boys, then that person
should not give a bushel. Is
this charity? No! Rather an
offering for services rendered.
We are told by the boys who
i i _/»_ <(__ rpi,
cume uctciv num wvcj. xaciv
that they do not dread death,
but oftimes in the trenches, in
the camps and in the hospitals
they discuss what will become
of them should they become
maimed, blinded or disabled
and return to take up the du
ties of civil life in competition
I with their more fortunate
neighbors. This fund is being
raised for just this purpose.
The people of America will
not allow those disabled boys
to return and for a living have
to peddle pencils, or shoe
strings, perhaps, on our streets
to a generation who have for
gotten their services. Neither
I do we expect to crowd them
behind cold walls of old Sol
dier’s homes, but, as is their
due, re-establish them in the
vocations of peace that each
is best fitted for.
In this movement Arkansas
is leading the world in the
most humanitarian, philan
thropic work, the highest ideal
of all, and we find the people
responding all over the State
just as they have responded to
every call of our government.
The same spirit prevails that
induced the boys to say, as
one said when leaving the sta

tried to console him. “Don’t
sympathize with me; save your
sympathy for the Kaiser, be
cause when we get “Over
There,” God knows he will
need it.”
From 90 per cent of the
counties of the State we are
getting reports that in their
school districts the people are
responding 100 per cent strong
from the head of the family
to the babe in the arms. One
and all are rallying to the sup
port of our boys. The news
has already gone 'Over There’
that they need not dread their
future here, although they re
turn to us disabled. The peo
ple of Arkansas and the peo
ple of the Nation will not for
get their service and their
wonderful deeds of valor that
have startled the world.
We know that Woodruff
County can be depended upon
to do her duty.
