Get Acquainted With
 Your Neighbors.

It has been often said that had the North and South been better acquainted with one another the Civil war would have been inn possible. and people who knew one another, know their joys and sadness, pleasures and suf- ferings will not be very anxious to kill one another.
 This has recently been exempli- fled in France where the trenches of the Germans and Allies are only a few yards apart. During lulls in the battles the soldiers began talking to one another, then they agreed to truces. then would visit back and forth, then would share their food with one an other and during the holidays at some points they agreed to not fight for seveal days. The military party in Germany became alarm. ed and have ordered the soldiers to not hold any more communi. cations with the enemy. They were rapidly ceasing to be enc mics and the militarists saw their wonderful war ma. chine was getting a few loose spokes. After the soldier in the trench of the Allies told a home. loving German about the kid. dies" at home. that German found it hard to shoot straight in the next battle. He did moi want to make the "kiddies' or. phans. So the Kaizer has order. ed his soldiers to stay away SC he won't know about the wife and kiddies back home. Ir their ignorance they can kill bet l ter.

No Loans To Beligerents.

The announcement made by this Government that 1t regards the making of loans by Ameri- can citizens to the governments of nations engaged in war as in- consistent with the spirit of neu- trality has created a profound impression throughout the world. It is the first time that a great nation has taken this stand on the subject of war loans. The matter has been discussed at The Hague and at peace confer ences, but it encountered so much opposition that nothing tangible has resulted. The President, therefore, blazes a new way when. without confer ence with other nations and with out support from conventions, he commits this nation to this policy. It is inconsistent with the spir- it of neutrality for a neutral na- tion to make loans to belligerent nations, for money is the worst of contrabands it commands all other things. A very forcible illustration has been used in support of this proposition. namely, that as a neutral gov ernment does all in its power to discourage its citizens from en- listing in the armies of other countries, it should discourage those who, by loaning money, would do more than they could do by enlisting. The govern ment withdraws the protection of citizenship from those who do enlist under other flags why should it give protection to mon ey when it enters into foreign military service? There is only one answer.

The Flag, What
 It Stands For

Now we have to ask ourselves, What does the flag stand for for the future?" This flag for the future is meant to stand for the just use of undisputed na- tional power. No nation is ever going to doubt our power to as- sert its rights, and we should lay it to heart that no nation shall henceforth doubt our pur- pose to put it to the highest uses to which a great emblem of jus tice and government can be put. It is henceforth to stand for self possession, for dignity, for the assertion of the right of one na- tion to serve the other nations of the world-an emblem that will not condescend to be used for purposes of aggression and self-aggrandizement. that is too great to be debased by selfish ness, that has vindicated it's sright to be honored by all na- tions of the world and feared by none who do righteousness.

Seed Dav
To the farmers:

To the farmers:
 The low price of cotton has made it necessary to plant less cotton, Of course, you are go- ing to plant something else in- stead. This will bring up the question of seed, and now is the time to consider the matter. If you do not get the seed in time you can not plant other crops than cotton and corn. You are going to look to the merchant to get the seed for you or club to- gether and get the seed your selves. Now is the time to set tie the matter and order seed. If you wait too long, the seed will be scarce, hard to get and high-priced. Let me urge you to all go to town next Saturday, the 16th, and get together in a meeting and discuss the matter and see what seed you will need, and take steps to get them. Go to see the merchants and ask them to help you.
 To the merchants:
 Let me urge you to call a meeting in your town on Satur- day, the 18th, discuss the seed question, to ascertain from farm CTS what amount and kind of seeds will be needed, and make such arrangements as is necess- ary to get them. There is no time to waste. If we are to have diversified farming in Ark ansas. we must all get busy. This is important. Please act at once.

The above small reward will be given to the one who will in- vent a pocket in the soul and as- bestos money so some people we know can carry their god to the other world with them. The money we can make out of the patent will make the reward look like 30 cents.
The Spectator., 1915-01-12

But there are other reasons. The European war is imposing a burden upon all neutral nations as well as upon those engaged in the conflict. If the United States were to loan money to the belligerent nations. 1t would be less able to assist the neutrals, and it has already received mo- tice from neutral nations that de- sire loans. We are under spe- cial obligations to render such service as we can to South and Central America; it would be difficult to do this if all our sur plus money was flowing into the war chests of Europe.
 Then, too, our own country might be embarrassed by loans to belligernts. Already material reduction has been made in the Governments income from i'm. port duties owing to the partial suspension of commerce. If the war is prolonged it may become necessary for the Government tc issue bonds, and foreign loans might so effect the local market as to compel a higher rate of in. terest.
 There are still other reasons but these are enough to show that the Presidents course was abundantly justified-enough tc show, also, that in this case, as in nearly every other case, a stand taken upon moral grounds is supported by considerations ot a material character.

Gen. Law to be Chief
Guest of Honor at
u. G.. Y. ReUniOn
At Richmond

The following sketch Is taken from
the last weeks issue of the Pub
fishers Auxiliary" which is said to
be "the most widely read newspaper
published in this country"
In view Of the general COnfeder-
ate encampment and reunion at
Richmond, Va, next month, interest
in state military circles centers In
Gen. Evander Mclver Law, editor OF
the Barlow Courier-Informant, who
is the highest ranking Confederate
officer living.
| General Law, one of the best
known men in this state and in Con-
federate circles, was only twenty-six
when he took an active part in the
battle of Gettysburg, where General
Longstreet placed him in charge Of
the Confederate forces around Little
Round Top. His charge was so sue
cessful that he received the compli-
ments of Longstreet ON the field of
battle.
General Law has held many posi-
tions of honor, and was one of the
principal guests of the nation at the
semi-centennial celebration of the
Battle of Gettysburg, July |, 2, 3,
and 4, 1913. lie was recently an
honored guest at meeting of the
Florida Daughters of the Confeder'
acy, which was held to commemorate
his services in the Civil war.
The Courier-Informant, of which
he is editor, is one of the Oldest pa
pers published in Florida. 1t has al
large circulation as any weekl!
paper published in the state. 1t IL
considered a model county weekl!
in point, news, makeup and pres
work.
It is expected General Law will b.
the chief guest of honor at the Rich
mond meeting.
