Meeting Called for
Saturday, the 18th.

To the Farmers:
The low price of cotton has made it
necessary to plant less cotton. Of
course. you are going to plant some
thing else instead. 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 have to look to the
merchant to get the seed for you or
club together and get the seed your
selves. Now is the time to settle the
matter and order the seed. If you
wait too long, the seed will be scarce,
hard to get and high priced. Let me
urge you to all go town next Saturday,
the 10th, and get together in 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 Saturday, the 10th. to
discuss the seed question, to ascertain
from the farmers what amount and
kind of seeds will be needed. and make
such arrangements as is necessary to
get them There is no time to waste
If we are to have diversified farming
in Arkansas, we must all get busy

THE WAR.

Across the sea. men bang away
At men on every hand,
They rush and dodge and MAIN and sla
And call it mighty grand.
Men ought to have more sense,
Than such mad things to do,
And they will get ii by and by.
With something added, too.
Here peace abides. and all is well.
Though food is somewhat high,
But here no hunk of bursted shell
Can knock away our pie.
What JOY it must afford to hear
thousand groans or cries,
As men are shorn of nose, or ear,
Or arm, or leg, or eyes.
SO thank the Lord. I'm here today,
With dear Old Uncle Sam,
Where can go along my way.
As peaceful as lamb.

 Now we are meeting under extra ordinary circumstances" he said If ever there was an occasion in which silence was golden 1t is tonight Be- cause it may be for all we know a very critical hour for our government A disaster has happened which has filled all of us with horror and which I think has filled most of us and maybe all of us with reasonable apprehen sion.

 That there was great confusion aboard the Lusitania after the steamer was tor pedoed is evident from the conflicting statements of survivors, some of whom state that she was struck on the star board side while others insist it was on the port side.
 Captain Turner is among those who have landed here.
 The Dublin Times states that the sur vivors aboard the tug Storm Cock are all in a deplorable condition and that some are wounded.

 "The passengers were at lunch when submarine came up and fired two torpedoes, which struck the Lusitania cn the starboard side. one forward and the other in the engine room. The tor pedoes caused terrific explosions. Cap tain Turner immediately ordered the boats out. The ship began to list bad 1y immediately
 The boats were put into the water and between 400 and 500 passengers entered them. The boat in which I was approached the land with three other boats and we were picked up shortly after o'clock by the storm Cock.

DeplOres Loss

New York. May s.--Captain Franz Von Papen. military attache of the im- perial German embassy, is quoted by the New York World this morning as making the following statement re- sarding the sinking of the Lusitania:
 Tt is deplorable, if true, that so
 many lives have been lost. I am shocked to hear the news, especially that American lives have been sacri- feed.
 But it was absolutely criminal for the Cunard company to carry, and for the British government to allow the line to carry, neutral passengers in a ship which was transporting eXpio- sives and munitions of war to be used by Great Britain and her allies. 'The ships manifest will show that she carried large amount of picric acid and other explosive materials They certainly were not intended for peaceful uses. They were to be used against Germany and Germany had tn defend herself against them. The best way was to destroy the ship and such destruction was amply Justified nnder the rules of war"
