they eat and sleep and plan to
fleece the farmer, with never a
thought of how fares the farmer.
Food and clothing are the most
ESSENTIAL to sustain human life, but
the farmers who feed the world
use less of the good things of life
than the idle rich who have organ
lied their dollars and brains and
have the advantage over the
farmers.
After all, the farmers are the I'M
crowned kings of the world and
are only in servility to mammon
worshippers because they have
imbided the spirit capitalism.

ARE PUSHING TEMPERANCE WORK
Inter-Church Organization Doing
Good Work in CurtaiIing the
Sale OF Liquor

Little Rock, Sept. IA regu-
lar meeting of the executive com
mittee of tie Inter church Temper
ance Federation was held at the
rooms of the Federation in this
city Thursday. The reports of
the superintendent and directors
were gratifying to the committee
beyond measure. The securing
Of the one hundred men to stand
behind the work with 200 a
year was reported as completed
and other contributions were
quite liberal Every expense was
reported paid and cash in the
treasury. The report from the
law enforcement department was
a cause for rejoicing. The de-
tective force did great work at
Jonesboro and Pocahontas. At
Stuttgart the work of the men for
a month produced the evidence
upon which every blind tiger man
was convicted and made to cry for
mercy and the marshal resigned
in response to public sentiment
for his refusal to aid faithfully in
the law enforcement.
At Cotter. one of the worst blind
tiger places In America, great
victory was achieved by the detec-
tives. Every violator was con-
victed and some of the officers
forced to resign by public senti-
ment.
The executive committee elected
the following named to represent
the Federation in the national con-
vention of the Anti Saloon League
of America, which meets at Nor
folk, Va, September 1919: Rev.
G. R. Powell, editor Arkansas
Baptist; Rev. j. A. Anderson,
editor Arkansas Methodist; Rev.
Frank Barrett and Hon. George
Thornburgh. Rev. E. A. Tabor,
superintendent, will 90 as an ex
officio member. Two alternate
delegates were elected, Rev. j. L.
Brown of independence county
and Hon. c. A. Bridewell of
Hope.
The Federation is more
thoroughly organized and is better
shaped financially to vigorously
and successfully prosecute its
work than ever before, " is the de-
claration of the president, George
Thornburgh.

A GREAT CRISIS NOW AT HAND
Sam Curtis Calls Attention to the
Present Outlook and Ad-
vises the Farmers
To The Newark Journal

facing the world today. Devas-
tating influences have prevailed
everywhere: the farms have been
flooded, the blight has ruined many
field, the beetle and boil worm
and then comes the gold bug and
gambler to grind the producers
under their ungodly feet. Just
take a look at the farms which
were flooded for months and see
fields that have been planted two
and three times and the millions of
acres that we're burned up by the
dry weather. Then look again
and you will see that the outlook
for cotton is the most serious ever
known; not cotton alone, but every
commodity that the farm produces.
The greatest heroes in the world
today are the farmers, who, with
their wives and little bare footed
children, have worked so faithful
ly to try to redeem the worlds
supply of food and clothing. The
cities with their teeming thousands
must be fed and the farmers are
in the battle to save the world.
But the disadvantages against the
farmers must be removed; the
cruel wrongs that allow a few I'M
scruplos spectators to rob the
farmer must be eradicated and the
greatest class protected and en-
couraged in their industry, upon
which all the world depends. Shall
the world suffer at the hands of a
few gamblers and money kings?
Shall q few men wiring from the
farmers all the food upon which
all the world must be fed? There
must be an awakening along these
lines and the whole world must
rise up in defence of the farmers
or pay the penalty of their neg
lect. The farmer is the first to be-
come aroused and they are appeal
ing to the whole world today for
recognition. 4 great calamaty is
facing the whole world. The price
of food is advancing and clothing
going up. Cotton is destined to
reach 20 cents per pound in very
short time. The gamblers are
laughing in great glee over feast
of fat things that q nation of fools
allow them to enjoy.
The bread of the nation can be
cornered by the rich gamblers as
we'll as cotton, and the gaunt wolf
of hunger may prowl around
your door. Like the laundering
tones Of q roaring lion the Farmers
Union is calling you to arms, to
ward off the evil day. Will you
slumber and sleep while the enemy
draweth near to devour you? You
can see the conditions as they
exist. The devastated corn and
cotton fields and the riotious gam
bling in the gambling dens. There
is an evil day at hand and nothing
but the heroic work of the loyal
farmers Of our nation can save us.
Now farmers you see the time has
come that we, as tiIlers of the soil,
must stand shoulder to shoulder
and never finch till this great bat
tie is won. Few people honor or
recognize this mighty producer Of
wealth. The world in its mad
rush after the dollar never stops
to think from whence comes the
food and rainment for all human
beings and domestic animals, but

BID ON TORPEDO BOATS.
ShipbuiIderH Make Variety of Offers
to Navy DepaFtment.


Proposals were opened at the Navy De-
partment yesterday for the construction
Of FIVE torpedo-boat destroyers. The
specifications require that the boats must
be delivered within twenty-four months,
and have a speed OF not less than twenty
eight knots an hour. Only one bidder.
Lewis Nixon & Co.. proposed to make de-
livery in less than twenty-four months.
Their offer was 20 construct a boat OF
thirty knots and deliver it within eight
cen months and install gas engines. The
conditions Of the Nixon bid are so rad
icaliy different from the specifications. and
the proposed boat such a departure from
the present type Of destroyer, that the
department Is having some difficulty in
considering il in connection with the
other bids. The Fore River company,
which uses American. OF Curtis. turbines,
offered 70 furnish boats Of twenty nine
knots an hour. No bidder is to be al
lowed 70 construct more than two Of the
boats.
On the face Of the bids, the Fore River
company and the Cramps company are
the lowest bidders for two boats each,
and the Bath Iron Works for one boat
but II will be necessary for the depart
ment to consider all the conditions before
determining which companies are 70 re-
ceive the awards.

PECULIAR ACCIDENT.
Boy Had Dynamite Cap Ia His Pants And
Spanking Ends Fatally.

Cheboygan, Mich, Sept. l.
Mrs. Fred Williams, living at
Bear Point, on Crooked Lake,
near this city, was severely in
jurod and her 7-year-oId son was
probably fatally hurt when a
dynamite cap in the boys hip
pocket exploded while the mother
was spanking him for a minor
ofsonse.
shhe little boy had been out in
the field where his father was
using dynamite to blow up
stumps and had slipped one of
thA percussion caps which Mr.,
Williams was using in his pocket.
He later returned to the house,
where his mother called him to be
punished for some childish misde-
meanor.
Hrs, Williams used a shingle
as yhe instrument Of punishment,
The first blow from the shingIe
exploded the cap in the boys
pocket and the explosion tore a
large hole in his hip, from which
he is believed to be dying. The
mother lost two fingers and sul-
fered u number Of minor wounds
about her face and body.
