East Prussia, Servia, and one- fifth of France will yield next to nothing so far as field crops are concerned.
 The farmers of Great Britian are protesting now against re- cruiting and are angry with the British cabinet for recent at tempts to call the depleted class of farm laborers to the battle fields.
 They argue that their laborers are needed to help raise food for the army, the navy and the British people, and in that way are rendering the greatest ser- vice to the empire.
 Russia has drawn fully 5.O00,- GOO of men from her fields and Germany, Austria, Italy an d France will each and all of them fall far short of usual acreage in cultivation.
 The neutral nations, Holland, Spain, Denmark, Norway and Sweden have drawn heavily through mobilization of troops ! upon their farm labor, and they. too, will be embarrassed by great deficiencies in foodstuffs.
 To the United States these hundreds of millions of popula- tion will be forced to look for supplies for the coming fifteen months of great dearth in their own countries, and not in the next five years will it be possi- 1 ble for the war stricken nations of Europe to attain the records of food production of thelr re. cent past.
 The farm products o f the United States will be called up on for the supply of the world, and the cash of the world will flow here in powerful current ts

Years of Prosperity for the Farmers of the
 United States

It requires no very keen ob- server of agricultural conditions throughout the world to note that the agriculturists of the United States have years of great prosperity before them if given normal climatic conditions for their crops. With 4-pound loaf of bread selling at 17 cents in London; with food riots in Italy, Portugal and Spain; with the Belgian people depending upon the charity of this conti- nent for food; with the known scarcity of grain in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Turkey and Holland; with the Russian government assuming control of the grain within its domains, and with l5,OOO, 1000 of people in Mexico facing starvation, there remains no doubt of the urgency of immediate and | future demands.
 Now as to the supply; Canada $ | 15O, ,000 stalwart men on the
 
 battIefelds of Europe out of hel small population means less pro- duction of foodstuffs in the Dominion.
 Great Britian order to Egypt's farmers that one-third of tht cotton acreage must be given III and the released area planted II rice, means less cotton nex year from Egypt and more ric' for Egypt's own population. bu it signifies nothing for the relic. of the hungry in Europe.

HUNTER AND EAST COUNTRY
Another Swing Around the Circle in the ARGUS
 Motor Car

The ARGUS man and family were out to the northeast o f Brinkley Saturday on another motor trip, covering about 50 miles of as pretty country as can be found in all Arkansas. A picnic dinner under big oak trees with a mocking bird serenade, added to the pleasure of the day.
 At Hunter we found our old friend. J. R. High and his good wife in charge of the post office which is located with the new Hunter Drug Co.,, an ideal metropolitan place in charge of MT. Matthews, one of the sever- al valuable new. corners in the Hunter territory.
 Down at tn e Mushrush Lumber Co.,, one of the leading factories in this section we found our clever friend Mark Mush- rush in charge of a force getting everything ready to run the plant and meet the advance of prosperity. He reports that everything looks good and that ] there is a general improved con- dition in the mill business. Friend Mushrush has recently finished a pretty modern bunga. low home near his plant and the ARGUS family enjoyed most heartily the priviledge of meeting

 H. o. Penrose, the Hunter realty man and banker was busy getting ready for better things.
 Chas. R. Brinneman, wh o started something new in the way of a Cash Store" in Hunt CT reported that he was well pleased with improved condi- tions. In front of his popular place was a bulletin board with a strong farmers prosperity talk which shows that Charley and his clever young assistant, Roy Mitchell, are wide awake and ex- pectant of even better things.
 The Hotel-The Travelers-is now run by MT. and Mrs. E. E. Quisenberry, good people who recently moved from Searcy and bought the hotel from Mir. and Mrs. J. H. Gossage.
 c. D. Brantly, formerly of Brinkley, now has a first class meat market and grocery store at Hunter in a nice new house.
 At w. l.. Freeman's the talk was Ford Autos. Friend Free man and his bright young sons enjoy the luxury of a Ford and just at this season when the beautiful prairies, the immense level rice fields, the foliage and flowers of the woods and the smooth roads around Hunter, this luxury means much.
 The newspaper man, after a pleasant visit in Hunter headed his car down southeast of Hunt CT winding up at Fairhaven Farm. owned by A. N. Gibbs, just east of Zent. Here we found everybody working in- cluding father Mrs. Gibbs
 was in charge of the little store
 and there were 30 or 40 patrons
 lined up to be waited on. One
 little Gibbs was busy measuring
 up potatoes, weighing sugar,
 etc and another with the father was in the field. MT. Gibbs has
 a beautiful hillside spot for his
 residence and inside of the house is marvel of pretty coziness
 showing just how comfortable and inviting an ordinary farm house can be made by the clever planning of an enterprizine woman. A pretty and scientifi
