many, the large standing army OF
Russia and the other extreme of re-
lance on unframed soldiery as in
Britain. We should rather combine
the preparedness of Germany as re-
CARDS material equipment, with a
modification of the Swiss military
system to supplement a standing
army, which would serve as nucleus
and furnish trained officers.
In Switzerland the army is ma
tional militia and the training would
be something like that of the business
mems military camp in Plattsburg,
only the period of training would be
somewhat longer. In little Switzer-
land, which maintains permanen,
Institutional staff, field army of
100000 can be modified in short or
der, while the Landstrum of about
300, 900 can be used for the protection
of communications railways and in
terror lines generally.
Manifestly, the National Guard or
militia in the United States should be
under the control of the federal au-
thorities, so that there would be
assured harmony Of action and opera
ton as well as unity Of purpose and
military solidarity. The federal gov
eminent should not only control but
also support the militia.
As regards size, the European war
teaches us that we must no longer
think in military units Of 100000 but
in units of a million. Manifestly, II
would be absurd for the United States
to ever think Of withdrawing even a
million men from ordinary pursuits in
life into a standing army. In case Of
war with a power Of Europe we now
realize that a million might cut a
small figure, however, and our only
alternative is to have it possible TO
mobilize large field army of men
who have had militia training and
have guns and areoplanes and ammu-
milton and other equipment in plenty.
When il comes TO navy, an Amer
lean program would manifestly in
clude an abundance Of submarines
with a large force of destroyers and
launches to meet foreign undersea
craft, as well as an adequate number
of fast and heavily gunned battle
cruisers.
Our real problem Of preparedness
however, is not the navy, which is
largely a question Of money simply,
but the military basis Of preparedness
which involves men as well as equip
ment. Here the militia system with a
standing army Of 100000 or so as a
nucleus will unquestionably be found
70 be the solution Of the American
problem Of reasonable preparedness

Every year in Brooklyn, now a part
of the city OF New York, Sunday
school parade is held, 1t is n very
large affair, about 10000 children tax
ing part this year. For such an i'm
mense number TO take part IN one pro-
cession is, of course, impossible. The
city is divided into districts and in
each district the children of the Sunday
schools have full sway for that day.
The parade or walk is accompanied by
bands of music and fife and drum corps
and the little folks enjoy themselves
hugely. After the walk the paraders
are RECALLED with ice cream and cake
at the various churches to which the
Sunday schools belong. Sometimes the
participants appear in costumes OF va
rious periods of history and very pref
ty they look. The girl in the picture
is dressed ia the apparel of the old Co
lonial times, before the United States
were organized into separate and free
government.

It is prepared from strictly harmless plants and is so pl, asant that children like to take it and it can be given them with perfect safe ty, as it positively contains no chlo- roform, opium, morphine or any oth- CT narcotic, as do most cough mix lures. Besides, absolutely no risk is run whatever is run in buying this remedy as Greeson Drug Co. will re- fund your 25c if it does not give per very best remedy ever used for any of the above complaints.

URGES ADVANTAGES
 OF GROWING PEANUTS
CORRESPONDENT SAYS IT IS A BETTER CROP THAN cor
 TON AT 10 CENTS.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 As the price of cotton is below the cost of production, we will have to raise another crop as money crop. Now what can we grow in place of cotton? We cannot grow corn, for we do not raise enough to the acre, and | the weather conditions are so that it makes it an uncertain crop. We can not all go into the cattle and hog rais- ing business, for that takes time and money.
 There is one crop we can raise with success, and that is the peanut crop. We all know we can grow the little white Spanish peanut. We can make more money raising peanuts at fifty !cents per bushel than by raising cot ton at ten cents per pound. The gov Iernment bulletin on cotton claims it takes on an average of three acres to produce one bale. The average on peanuts is 34 bushels to the acre. Now, figure cotton at an average of 10 cents and seed at $20 per ton, you have $70 for three acres, or $23.40 per acre. Figure peanuts at 50 cents, you have $17 and one and half tons of hay, which analyses nearly as high as alfalfa; at $10 per ton you have a total of $32 for one acre of peanuts, difference of $8.60 in favor of pea nuts.
 1 figured peanuts at a very low price. You will not have trouble to get 75 cents or more for them. Pea nuts make very high grade of oil, and it is worth about double the price of cotton seed oil They have several manufacturing plants in the state and 1 am certain if the acreage justified it We will have one here.
 There is machinery on the market now to pick, as well as plant the pea nut.
 Peanuts are not like strawberries or peaches, perishable crop, that you have to sell when ripe and be at the can market it when the market is at it's best. Another great feature about the peanut is you do not have to work 13 months in the year to raise them, and you can keep your wife in the house and your children in school. So let's organize peanut clubs all over the county and boost the little white peanut. It's the salvation of Faulkner county Have two money crops instead of one. H. E.

Frank Andrews, successful business man a man who has always found pride and joy in the company of his loving wife and daughter-suddenly finds himself enthralled by the advances of gay young woman-a siren, who lives in the same apartment house.

The story is advanced through many scenes enacted with the accompanying notes of New York's night life, and the denouement comes when the faint ful wife discovers her husbands inf delity.

CRFESON'S DRUG STORE WILL SELL
 COUCH MEDICINE AT HALF PRICE GOOD CHANCE TO ECONOMIZE

The public will be given a chance to economize on their cough medicine for the next three days, as Greeson Drug Company will sell soc bottle of Schiffman's Concentrated Expector- ant for 25c to the first 100 who apply at their store, but only one bottle to each family. The proprietor is losing money on every bottle sold at this price, but has decided to make this re- duction, so as to give those who have not yet used this excellent remedy an opportunity of trying it, at partially his expense, as he knows that no oth- CT medicine will be used by anyone who has once tried it. Those who have not already used this remedy are thus afforded an opportunity of try ing it for half price and can obtain a bottle for 25c for the next three days, by presenting the coupon below at the Greeson Drug Go. Even though not in need of such a medicine at present, it will pay to obtain bottle now at half price, as no doubt someone in the family will require it before the winter is over, but will not have an- other chance of buying for less than full price, soc. This new, simple, pleasant remedy is also guaranteed to relieve the worst Cough or Cold, and is excellent for Bronchial Asthma, Bronchitis, Group, Whooping Cough
