"The car of seed | purchased had
to be shipped to Louisville, KY, for
none of the mills in Arkansas could
handle it. The machinery must be
changed to handle prime seed in or

were to use prime seed in our mills
the oil would all go in with that of
the cheaper seed, and we would not
profit.
"If the grade of seed next year is
better, or had it been this year, there
would be no complaint about the
price. All mills must have seed, and
they are willing to pay the price"

SWATS HUBBY ON BEAN
WITH DOUBLE-TREES
Family Uprising-Ends by Both
Getting Punched.

Electric Drop creeps into print this
week through the beligerency of Mr..
and Mrs. George F. harrington, some
double-trees and considerable back
talk.
Wednesday night Mr.. harrington
appeared before Justice McNiel and
had a warrant sworn out for the ar
rest of his wife on charge of assault
and battery. Early the following
morning the wife appeared in answer
to the summons. Then she took the
case into her own hands.
Mr.. harrington claims that his wife
grabbed up pair of double-trees and
cracked him over the head. She is
not such large woman, but the
double-trees were heavy and the
clevis made a considerable dent and
he became peeved. Then he came to
town and had the warrant for her ar
rest issued.
Yesterday morning Mrs. harrington
came to town in answer to the sum-
mons to appear before the justice OF
the peace and her case was set for
next Thursday afternoon. She then
went to Justic Blunck's court and had
a warrant sworn out for her husband
charging non-support She claims
also that he tore her clothing from
her and brought in a bloody waist to
show for it. She says that Mr.. Far
rington gave orders at the Bowmont
store not to allow her any more
credit, and as there was nothing ii

was hungry. justice Blunck set the
hearing for this case at 10 o'clock mex

monstrous calamity.
We cannot do that unless you do
too. Are you prepared to do that?
Are you prepared to come into con-
ference at the end of this mar, to in
sure the peace of the world, or are
you going to stand out and make diff
hculties for us, and, out of our world
of preplexities snatch advantages; to
carp from your infinite security at
our allies, and perhaps, in the crisis
of our struggle, pick quarrel with
us on some secondary score?
Are you going to play the Part OF a
merely numerous little people, cute
trading and excitable people. or are
you going to play the part of great
nation in this -and-death struggle
of Old World civilizations?
Are you prepared now to take that
lead among the nations to which your
greatness and freedom point you?
1t is not for ourselves we make this
appeal it is for the whole future of
mankind. And we make it with the
more assurance because already your
government has stood for peace and
the observation of treaties against
base advantages.

This appeal comes to you from En-

because upon your nation rests the
issue of this conflict. The influence
of the United States on its nature and

ending you may play part such as
no nation ever has played since the
world began.
For it rests with you to establish

secure, the permanent peace of the
world and the final ending of the

England but it is no appeal to ancient
associations or racial afhnities. Your
common language is indeed English,
but your nation has long since out

For many years Europe has been

The first quality OF commander
in chief is a cool head"

we'll lie sometimes, but always is too
much"
"A great captain ought to say to
himself several times a day: If the
enemy appears on my front, my right
or my left what shall | do? If he
finds himself embarrassed he is i'll

when a king is said to be kind
man the reign is failure"
Heart! How the devil do you
know what your heart is? 1t is Bit
of you crossed by big vein in which
the blood goes quicker when you
run"
The heart of statesman should
be in his head
High tragedy is the school Of grea
men. 1t is the duty of sovereigns tc
encourage and spread it. Tragedy
warns the soul, raises the heart, car
and ought to create heroes"
Bleeding enters into the combina
