TO THU Mm'TRIl To you fortunate ones who are about to go forward to that long batik' line where the rinks of au tocracy and oppression are facing the armies of the tree, congratula tions and Godspeed! You go, not as reluctant victim? of misfortune or a fatal elm reef but rather as our (dns a ones; the pick ami llo-.wr of our manhood, whole of 1 dy sound of mind and spirit—what ail of u- should like to be. And we, • •=» too old or too - her respect unfitted to go in hotly, shall go with you in spin! .

The chances are that i< with a big surplus will sell and ship from the county. Later on there who have to buy wall ha "o to ship feed in at a higher price. A local .eed mill might help to solve the pi obl.-w. At any rate we would thin:-; lb t it world be wise to go slowly in selling off the surplus at th:s time. The exemption hoard-- in some of the counties in thi. state, and some in Southwest Arkansas, are said to have made a farce of the exemption regula tions. In some counties ail exemp tion claims were granted regardless of merit. These boards came awake with a start when the district boards handed the whole batch back with or ders to "Lick your calf over.” This kind of thing is going to make it hard for the man with a just claim for exemption, if persisted in.

Until | the change in price made we will' accept renewals at the old rate. An! explanation is hardly necessary. Per-j haps you have long wondered why w,e ! had not already taken that step. The flag by all accounts in song! and story is the thing that brings the , patriotic thrill to Americans, and it' does, but the sight of our hoys in i uniform getting ready to go out yond er is the thing that brings that cho-j key feeling mingled with a pride of, country as yet unexpressed. If by more persistent flushing of our water mains we could improve the quality of our water, even at a greater cost, wouldn’t it be worth the price? Improve the water and in crease the use of it; reduce the kicks and increase the patronage. A report on Little River's cotton crop would be interesting. There isn’t any question but that over some sections of the county the crop is tine. Plant about five acres to wheat and the high cost of flour will have no terrors to you next year.

T stat inent would o al riuht if it meant anything. He kindly asks us to subscribe for the Appeal to Reason. We take it that the Ap peal rightly reflects the spirit an) purpo: e of his party since he is so anxious that we wad it. For his edi fication and that of others we will quote a passage eminacing from the | Appeal oliice. If this is a sample of ; tiie loyalty o country of which he 1 f he stands convicted by his'owu wit n : Ti’'. vppeal (Socialist) of Girard. • : cot out two varieties- of enve with highly infiamatory mat i r. prime: in red ink on the backs. One was headed “A Id.age. ' and the pledge was: “I refuse :o kill your father. 11 refuse to Kill your mother's nil. I refuse to plunge a bayonet into the breast of your sister's brother. I re fuse to slay your swoethe :rt‘>i love r. I refuse to murder your wife’s hus band.

Isn't that enough? Isn't it a heap! plenty, as it were? If nol we could quote extract after extract and col umn after column of disloyal rantings from Socialist organs scattered all over the nation, but what’s the use. We might quote from Russel. Sinclair and other leading Socialists, who have repudiated their party as disloyal and pro-German. Socialists who love their country have quit and are quitting the party if reports in the "Capitalist” press be true. If the Socialist press reflects the opinions and feelings of such men as Mr. Fraser we are going to leave it to him and others whether or not lie is in harmony with this country. Always' willing to he fair we are even willing to suggest like Mr. Fraser that the colums of the Ap peal to Reason and other Socialist or gans be read for the evidence. —-o The Quinine That Doe* Not Affect the Head Became of its tonic and laxative effect, LAXA TIVE BROMO QUININE is better than ordinary Quinine and does not cause nervousness nor ringing in head.

Crender L ties Instructions. Tlie message follows: ‘‘Reports received concerning a few local boards are to the effect that these boards are proceeing to call throughout the whole list of persons registered, then to certify up only those who claim no exemption regard less of whether their order or obliga tion places them within the quota. I leaving the claims of exemption un-j decided or merely formally allowing all of them without discrimination. “In effect this course permits vol unteering among registrants. This method is illegal and unauthorized. All registrants stand on an equality before the law except as the law de crees an inequality. The law decrees an inequality only where exemption boards, after properly excising their funetionsi, have granted exemptons or discharges. Furthermore, the method results in calling men for military service out of their order. Local boards should certify those who claim no exemption rapidly, but they should also act on claims for exemption rap idly and wlthn the time prescribed by regulation and certify the cases at once. — I kialio Troops Arrest Local nn-.l H' (riel Officials oil Hive <>!

To really know the difference in cost between old ^ style hulls and Buckeye Hulls you must know the cost per pound of real roughage. Even though Buckeye Hulls do sell at a much lower price than old style hulls, you can’t realize how much less they are costing you until you consider how much more real roughage a ton contains. Other Advantages Buckeye Hulls go farther. Sacked—easy to handle. They allow better assimilation They mix well with other forage. of other food. Take half as much space in the No trash or dust. barn. Afr. Dan Waif, Hammond Bldg. &Aifg. Co., Hammond, La., says: I “I am feeding Buckeye Hulls lo milch cows and find them a satisfactory filler when mixed with cottonseed I meal and other concentrates. At the present price of feed stuff, Buckeye Hulls arc the cheapest roughage on the market.” To secure the best resul. s and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the hulls thoroughly twelve fours before feeding. It is easy to do this by wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If at any time this cannot be done, wet down at ieast thirty minutes. If you prefer to feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by buik as of eld style hulls. Book of Mixed Feeds Free Gives the right formula for every combination of feeds used in the South. Tells how much to feed for maintenance, for milk, for fat tening, fur work. Describes Buckeye Hulls and gives directions for using them properly. Send for your copy to the nearest mill.
