If this is done, Southeast Arkan

owners selling alternate strips OF
from ten to twenty acres would find
the increase in value Of their remain

project profitable even if they never
received nickle for the lands settled
on by the foreigners.
There's little colony of Belgians
near Alexandria, La, and they are
growing rich producing vegetables.
There's colony OF German farmers
near Seguin, Texas, who are not wor-
ried about their cotton because they
have money in bank as a result of
growing all their needs on the farm.
1t matters little from which Euro.
pean country the farmer is brought.
Any will farm better than we do, be-
cause centuries have taught them
how to make the acres produce and
the necessity therefor. Lands are
high, and must be intensively cult

The greatest opportunity for secur-
ing desirable immigrants is before
Southeast Arkansas. Cooperation is
necessary. Now is the time to
organize and make plans. When the
war is over then will be the time to
strike.
Set still: do nothing, and immigra-
ton will pass us by. Get busy and
act, and the tide will flow into
Southeast Arkansas.
1t will cost something, but no in
vestment ever made will bring larger
returns, considering the certainty of
the profits.

.In time of peace prepare for war
is a maximum with which all are
familiar and one the nations of the
world have been following. The
Graphic wants to reverse this, and
urge the people of Pine Bluff and OF
Southeast Arkansas that they should
in time Of war prepare for peace.
One thing that should be done is to
arrange to attract some of the tide OF
immigration that will surely. flow
America-ward at the conclusion OF
this greatest Of swars.
Those who will emigrate from
Europe are just the people we want:
families of farmers who feel they
can no longer stand to toll alone for
the government; that they would like
to have little left after paying heavy
war taxes.
There are thousands and thousands
of acres in southeast Arkansas as
good as any in Belgium, or Luxem.
burg, or Germany or France. All
needed to make these acres produce
all the needs of Arkansas and more
is tie attention that the Belgium, OF
German, or French farmer devotes tG
his acres.
Less than half the size of Arkansas
Belgium has a population of 100000
or ST. to the square mile. This in
dicates how thoroughly the soil is
cultivated. No barren acres there;
no wastcful methods; no idle lands
One crop follows another, and the
farmers are always building up the
soil by crop rotation. "A man with
ten acres is In affluent circumstances
Although Belgium is noted more for
its manufactures than its agricultural
products, yet, besides supplying its
own population, it exports butter
eggs and vegetables. The total ex-
ports of the little country amount to
mere than $500. 900 900 annually.
Imagine, if possible, how great Ar
kansas would be If its soil was as
thoroughly worked as that of Bel
GUM. Southeast Arkansas could
nearly supply the South.

need them. We can get them if we
go after them in the right way.

to them gave he power to become the
son of God, even to them that believe
on his name:

Making eXtravagant circulation

paper circulation managers. The
government requires the information

way does not prevent some circulation
liars from refusing to make known

THE GREENVILIE INCIDENT.

Saturday, there came near being

Norwood, a banker of that city,
who addressed a question to
Governor BIease, which was
answered in a manner Mr.. Nor
wood regarded insulting. If the
incident is correctly reported we
do'not think the governor was
warranted in calling Mr.. Nor
wood a "coWard," but there is
this much to be said about those
things; a man may ask, what
appears in print, polite ques-
ton, but his manner can be
menacing and insulting, in other
words, it depends entirely how
the question is asked, whether
or not it is offensive. If, as the
newspapers have it, Mr.. Nor
wood asked polite question,
the governor was wrong in char
acterizing him a coward, but if
he interrupted the governor
with an offensive air he brought

have expected from d man of
