WAR MATERIAL MAKERS ORGANIZING.
TO FIGHT THE PROPOSITION FOR A GOVERNMENT
ARMOR PLANT.

Washington April 20-The proposition made by
exSecretary Herbert that Congress provide for tho
establishment of a Government plant for the manu-
facture Of armor If the armor makers refused TO
accept the maximum price Of $500 ton, has aroused
opposition on the part of the manufacturers Of war
material throughout the country. They evidently
fear that Secretary Long. having referred the un-
satisfactory bids recently received from the
makers 10 Congress may follow up the subject
with a renewal Of ex-Secretary HerbertS propo-
stion and have effected an organization, with
l.. 6. Rice as director. The argument Is that me
work can be done better by private enterprise. ana
that nearly all important inventions In modern
warfare are due TO private inventors working out
side Government shops.

How Can a Taste for ieaIthfui
 Literature be Cultivated?
BY PROF. F. R~ ALEXANDER.

No man who loves literature can be called unedncaied, however scant may have been his school training We cannot approach such a man without at once per ceiving that his association with lofty minds has Ipt to his ideas an elevation that separates him from ordinary men. He dwells i'll Il world of beauty that gives life resources that the man without cul- ture does not dream Of, and amid the cares, disappontments and sorrows inei- dent to human existence, and the coldness and mfjudgments Of the world. finds his own heartache lulled into forgetfulness and calm by the music of nober thoughts and gralder sorrows.
 The iirst-honor graduate of a great col lege who does not delight in the great books, is manifcstly this mans inferior In fact the ehiei argument for the classical course is that SO far it has proven the sureSt way to cultivate discriminating taste for literature.
 Reading has become so general that it has almost ceased to be regarded as any thing uncommon, but l think you have observed that the man who amid the flood of newspapers and current literature per sisten;ly clings to the great authors of the elder days is becom'rg rarer and rarer.
 Are our shools doing what we have right 10 expect t4. them in leading tue pupils to rad? 'rakiny only those pupils that are intelligent, and have done faith ful, successful work in the text books, do many of them on leaving the common school care for Longrellow, or upon finish ing the course of the high schcoI, enjoy reading Shakespeare?

Would be a Blessing.

DEAR ME. EpITog:-Msny of the farmers are now talking about sowing wheat, but some claim that 1t will not pay to do so because there are no thrash CTS or flouring mills in our vicinity, and assure them there never will be unless some effort on our part IS made 70 get here. do not claim that we can com pete with the north and west in growing
 wheat for market. They are better equipped in every way to handle gram than we are, but l do contend that to raise their own bread stuff will save 10 the people of this county thousands Of dollars annually.
 An agricultural people who buy all their supplies are seldom prosperous. l have noticed this to be true in the eorn-belt Of
 Illinois as well as in the cotton-fields Of the South; in other words, people de-
 pendent upon single crop are continu- ally in debt.
 1 believe that wheat gro wing in tn S county would prove a blessing 10 both
 farmer and merchant. Our lands need
 the rotation which wheat. with clover.
 or followed by peas would afford.
 Should we raise more wheat than
 home supply. the surplus turned into cash
 would liven up business and put money in circulation during some of our dull
 months when dollars look as big as cart wheels, and money is as scarce as four-eai clover.
 Some merchants who read this article will probably say, oh, if the people raise
 wheat 1 will lose my profit on flour. You anay lose il oil four. but will more than counter balance it OH something else. difficult to make a profit on d barrel nf Hour or Il side of meat, than on anything else you sell. Besides you want some men to buy less flour, that they may he
 able to cancel that mortgage you bod.
 and become again free men in the sight
 of God and man.
 Our only way to accomplish direct
 result is for each and every one of Us To put his shoulder to the wheel and rt solnte y 4 determine that St. Francis County shall raise the bread that sustains her people. This county has good land good water and good timber: the County site has cleo 1 tric lights. water works and graded streets. but neither county or city will ever arise | to it's full development until our fields l riple with the golden laryests and the | song of the reaper is heard in the land 1 respectfully suggest that some Of our prominent farmers living near town cali
 a convention Of farmers to meet not later 1 than October 1st, at Forrest City, to fully dis :uss this subject, and l offer this reso- { luton in advance:
 \ RESOLVED, That we the farmers of St. \ Francis County, in convention duly as- N senibled, do this day unanimously deny \ our allegence to King Cotton. Believing ! that implicit obedience to his mandates. has made us poor. kept us poor. and will l continue to keep us so. we do hereby de- N clare our independence. reserying 10 our ! selves individually the right to treat the [ old autocrat with a deference born of OUT 1 long continued subjection.
