“A rush of too many fowls to

against selling laying hens is re
moved, may result in food losses,”
says the United States Depart

before selling a hen that is still
laying. Green food is becoming
more plentiful and the demand for
eggs continues. Universal mafk
eting of fowls may react on prices
as well as cause spoilage of dressed
poultry.”

full duty now in trying to assist the
government in every way possible
in present crisis.
He served two terms as county
treasurer and was the man who
moved the treasurer’s, office to the
court house and installed the pres
ent systematized method of book
keeping.
He is serving his first- term as
sheriff and collector and has at all
times tried to do his duty in run
ning down whiskey peddlers and
other violators and has to his cred
it in the one year he has been sher
iff the arrest of the bandit w"ho
robbed the Huttig bank and the
auto thief he captured at Texar
kana and recovered a fine car
stolen at El Dorado.
The men he has connected with
him in the tax collecting depart
ment are accurated, courteous and
obliging and the records are kept
neat and correct at all times.
He is following the Democratic
custonvof asking for a second term
which is accorded those who faith
fully perform their duty and that
his past record entitles him to it.
He may not be able on account of
attending to the duties of his office
to see all the voters but assures
them that if reelected he will con
tinue as in the past to give the of
fice the best attention and service
to prove his appreciation of your
support.

W. S. Goodwill for Congress.
We carry in this issue the formal
announcement of Congressman W.
S. Goodwin of Warren, Bradley
county, as a candidate for the
Democratic nomination to succeed
himself as Representative of the
?th Congressional District of Ar
kansas in the 66th Congress.
Mr. Goodwin needs no introduc
tion to the voters of the district he
has served so faithfully and well
during the past seven years. He
took up his work in congress at a
time when the Democrats were
mobilizing for their first great drive
on the entrenched opposition and
became identified with the memo
rable congress that laid the foun
dation for the Democratic success
of 1912. The legislation of the
Wilson administration with which
Mr. Goodwin has been so intimate
ly connected is conceded to have
done more for the great masses of
people than all other administra
tions since the founding of the
government. Mr. Bryan made this
declaration in a speech at the last
Democratic National convention at
St. Louis, in 1916:
“As a member of the present
'War Congress’ he is a recognized
leader of his party and one of the
strongest supDorters of the Wilson
administration on the floor. As
one of the first members of the
Committee on Foreign Affairs
which is of first rank and which
must handle in a larg^measure the.
very grave international questions,
and as a member of the committee
on Merchant Marine charged with
the creation of a great emergency
fleet to help win the war, and ships,
of commerce to cairy the products
of our fields and factories into all
parts of the world after the war,
he has been very active in such
legislation accomplishments of this
congress.”
lvir. Goodwin has also looked
well after the needs of the district
at all times and secured the aid of
the federal government in many
ways. In fact, we doubt if any dis
trict has had more done for it than
Mr. Goodwin has accomplished for
this district.
Legislation efficiency like effic
iency in all other lines of endeavor
is a matter of growth and develop
ment. Mr. Goodwin fortunately
commenced his legislative career
under favorable conditions and has
improved well the opportunities of
fered and is frequently refered to
as the philosopher and best student
of the House. He is recognized as
possibly the best informed man in
the House on the international
questions of the past and present
and such questions are foremost
and most pressing at this time and
will continue to engage the first at
tention of the American Congress
thruout the war and the recon
struction period which must follow.
During the great struggle now
on between human rights on the
one hand and the might and domi
nation by cruel force on the other,
we are first concerned in winning
the war and a lasting peace. In
order to do this it is deemed wise
to utilize every trained man to the
best possible advantage, not only
on the farm, in the forest, mine and
factory and on the firing line, but
the very best trained men in the
Nation’s Congress as well. A man
trained as Mr. Goodwin is can ill
be spared from the council table of
the Nation at the most critical
time of the world’s history. A new
man, however, willing and earnest
would be as so much dead wood
and an encumbrance rather than a
help. This is manifestly no time
to gratify the ambitions of the un
trained—no time to swap horses in
the middle of the stream—no time
to give complimentary votes to this
man or that. To defeat any num
ber of congressman who have been
loyal and intensely American as Mr.
Goodwin has been would bring
much joy to the German Kaiser
and his war lords who are seeking
to overawe the world and would be
hailed by the Kaiser as a repudia
tion of Americanism and a rebuke
to the Wilson administration.

Sunday at the Baptist Church.
Special song service for children
at 9:45 a. m., Sunday school at 10,
preaching at 1 1, Sunbeams at 3 p.

Everybody cordially invited. Bring

Produce Cheaper Pork.
No man can make a profit on
hogs by feeding grain alone. A
bushel of corn produces only ten
pounds of pork. To just break
even on a bushel of" corn it would
be necessary to market hog at 20
cents per pound at home. Fortun
ately, however, pork production
can be cheapened from one-fourth
to one-half by use of forage crops,
A variety of good forage crops can
yet be planted this spring, such as
soy beans, cowpeas, sorghum and
peanuts. Every man who has not
already started his spring planting
of forage crops should do so at
once, in order to obtain grazing for
his hogs as early as possible.. For
age crops will not only cheaoen
production but will also allow one
to grow the average hogs to a
greater weight.
for Justice of the Peacfr ^
The News this, week announces
J. C. Wallace of Strong as a candi
date for reelection as Justice of the
Peace of Lapile township at the
May primary.
Mr. Wallace is now serving his
thirteenth year as justice of the
peace and the experience gained
during this long service in office
qualifies him for reelection as many
cases tried before a man of his
ability will be settled in that court
and not appealed as might be the
case with inexperienced justices.
Vote for J. C. Wallace as one of
the justices of this township and
you will make no mistake. Being
employed as bookkeeper for the
Strong Hardware Go., he will be
unable to make a canvass and
takes this means of soliciting your
support. _
Your Duvy to Report Disloyalty.
Charleston, S. C., 4-19, 18.
(Special)— It has come to the
notice of this office that many peo
ple fail to report suspicious and dis
loyal acts or manifestations of
sympathy for the enemy, because
of uncertainty as to the proper of
ficial to approach.
It is very important that the
government should have the as
sistance of all citizens in detecting
enemy propaganda or suspicious
activities of individuals, and you
will do a service in notifying all
people that any communication ad
dressed to “Intelligence Officer,
Headquarters Southeastern De
partment, Charleston, S. C., will
receive attention and be trans
mitted to the proper official of the
government for investigation. The
names of informants will not be di
vulged and there need be no fear,
on the part of anybody, of getting
into trouble in case suspicions
prove to be unfounded.
Informant should indicate the
nature and source of their informa
tion, as well as the time and place.
