TEN REASONS FOR PREPARED.
 NESS

Commodore J. Stuart Blackton, author of the photo-play The Battle Cry of Peace." and leader of the preparedness" movement in the United States, has evolved ten reasons why the United States should prepare now for war They are:
 1. Because the preservation of our country, our liberty and our homes demands it.
 2. Because by preparing now we will save our mothers, sisters, wives and daughters unutterable shame and suffering.
 3. Because geographically we are no longer inaccessible to foreign countries. Progress has reduced the size of the Atlantic or Pacific oceans to one-half the size of Lake Michigan.
 4. Because every American citizens is strictly accountable to his government in time of need.
 }. Because every sane, con- scientious human beng is against War and for Peace and prepar- edness makes for peace.
 6. Because, as a peaceful na- tion, we must not only be champ ions of peace and the laws of humanity, but we must have the power to enforce those laws - the power to insure that peace.
 '. Because not to be prepared is to send our sons and brothers and friends to certain slaughter as cannon fodder
 8. Because to prepare half heartedly is like saying God bless you-t to a certain extent. ' 9. Because preparedness is a 'call to arms against war. , l0., Because the way to spell peace is by the good, lsw, pho netic way power.

circulation at home. If those profits are sent away we can not expect long to have any money in circulation in our midst, for other people in other places will have it; and we will be getting poorer and poorer all of the time, and our community will be get ting deadder and deadder, until in time no one would even care to live here.
 Certainly no sane p CT S o n would want such a condition of affairs to exist here.
 But what is the remedy, you say? It is both sane and simple.
 Quit doing your shoppiug out of town and buy goods f r m home dealers. That is, buy everything you can here.
 Don't be carried away with the false idea that you c b u cheaper somewhere else, for you can not. If you want shoddy and worthless goods you a Il find plenty of city stores and firms who thrive on ellin g country people just such rotten stuff at a few cents less than you would pay your home dealer for a good article that he i S willing to guarantee. But you can not buy reliable article elsewhere any cheaper than you
The Green Forest tribune., 1915-11-12

can buy the same article right here at home.
 We are pushing the "buy 1t at home" slogan in this community and we want you to join us. we are not doing this in order to enrich the local merchants, but we are doing it to protect the future of this town and ou1 farming community and t h C people among whom we live.
 We want to keep prosperity at home," and we want you tC help us in our work by doing youl share, and you can do that by buying at home and keeping al of the profits at home.
 It is serious problem that confronts us in the near future, and we should grapple with il as becomes men of brains and determination.
 Shall we trade at home and keep prosperity in this town Or shall we continue to make city millionaires who Wouldn' f give us a five cent piece if we were hungry for bread?
 Remember, brother and sister, this applies not only to your neighbors, but to YOU as well, if you happen to be one who has been doing your shopping in other places.
 Will you join us, for t h e future of our town?"

before you now, and experience is a good teacher.

Be sure and raise your own meat next year. One good litter of pigs, Well-kept and pastured and fed, will make enough meat for Q family of six people. If you haven't the brood SOW, get her at any reasonable sacrifice, and remember that it is as easy to raise a crop of hogs as to grow a crop of anything else. Plow all the land you can between now and Christmas. Break deep, and turn under all weeds, grass and stalks. The weeds that grow on your land is food from same. Turn them under, and put it back; burn them and you lose it. See? These simple suggestions carried out on the farms in Arkansas, 1 believe, will make the whole State prosperous. What do you think about it? Do you believe it? If so, adopt them and i'm prove them. If you don't, write to me, and make me some sug- gestions. am your servant and want to help you if l can. If 1 can't, then l want you to help me so l can help someone else.

WKEN BORROWING GOOD

Reading good books is a com mendable trait in any person. Borrowing them is equally con- mendable when you are not in position to buy, provided you are as prompt in returning as you are in borrowing,
 But many people are excellent borrowers and damnable return CTS. They borrow everything and return nothing, until in time they become known as chronics and are summed as religiously as the hornet or the bumblebee.
 Any right minded citizens would be only too willing to dis seminate knowledge and add to the pleasure of his brothers if he could only feel that his book would find it's way back to his own shelves without his having to resort to a constable and a search warrant.
 Most borrowing pests' really do not realize that they are such and would indignantly and sim cerely protest any such accusa- ton if made to them. And yet their persistent forgetfulness in returning borrowed articles hangs the odious title of pest" upon them so tightly it is almost im- possible to throw it off.
 If you borrow to-day and re- turn tomorrow, you will always be able to borrow again the next day.

WHEELS AND COMMUNITIES

When a spoke in a wheel is broken that wheel is weakened and only of partial or slight value to the rest of the vehicle. The vehicle itself is of no greater val ue than it's weakest spoke, the broken wheel. Its usefulness will not be restored until the wheel is repaired and placed on par with the other wheels. Then 1t is again ready to assume it's proper functions in the scheme of life.
 And as it is with the wheel and the wagon so it is with citizen and the community. The latter is only as strong as the loyalty of the former. The community will advance only in accordance with the loyalty and progressiveness of it's people.
 The man who forgets his home merchants and sends his money to outside sources is the broken wheel of his own community. He is the weak spot that retards the growth of all, that produces commercial ta gnation, that creates local hard times and re- duces the community that shel- ters him and the people who feed him to the level of a hand tC mouth existence.
 We don't want any broken wheels in this community; we don't want any useless vehicles, or commercial disintegration, ol hand to mouth existence; we don't want any poverty or dis tress.
 But we do want prosperity and progressiveness, and happi ness and contentment, and fuI larders and dinner pails, and we can have them if each one of u! will do GUT duty to the town i, 
 which we live, and trade witt home people, and keep our owl money in our own community. We want to keep prosperit. in this town," and we can onl7 do it by trading where we live.
 Personally, we intend to prac tice what we preach in this re spect, for the good of the com munity, for your good, and fo our own good, and we would dearly love to see you trailing right along by our side, and WI are quite expecting to see yol doing it because we don't thinl we are one whit more loyal t, this town than you are.
 Come along, brother. Whel we all pull in the same harness we make a mighty strong team

PuTTEMGBT UP TO YOU

We would not worry our read CTS by being too insistent upon any one subject, but the welfare of our community should be up- permost in the minds of every loyal citizen, and the welfare calls for a few very pertinent re- marks at this time of the year.
 Between now and the 25th day of December many thousands of dollars will be spent by the people in the purchase of holi- day articles. The manufactur- ing cost of those articles must of necessity go to the factories scattered broadcast over l h e country. That can ct b e helped.
 But there is another 0 { which should be seriously con- sidered by every person who has any regard Whetever for the future welfare of this town and this community. The cost is the ratailer's profit on the sales.
 To make h S community prosperous and keep it so it is necessary that those profits be kept at home, and that can only be done by patronizing m r. chants who live here and c o IT, duet their business here a n d spend their own money here,
 No citizen has the right to feel that it is all right for him t o send his money away from this community because "he is only one person and his money will not be missed. " It is just such people who are building up the great centers of population by straugling the rural business in- terests all over this country.
 They are the people who produce hard times in the country towns and farm sections of every state, because they are millions in number.
 Let us bring it right home to you. Suppose every person in this town and the f Tn Il g section around here should buy all of their goods from business houses located in other sections of the country or state. How long would our stores keep their doors open, and how long would you be able to buy even pin or a nail in this town?
 And if everybody kept o n sending their money all out of the town and community, how long would it be b e fore W e had no more money to send, and when we found the community pauperized where would we turn for relief?
 The profits of local industries both farm and town repre- sent the money that is kept in

Deep Sea Wonders.

Experiments by Professor Agassiz on the "Albatross," and by other ocean, -ographers, have clearly demon strated that various species of deep dwelling first practice an up and down migration from the lowest depths where they pass the day, a mile or two beneath the surface to higher levels of the ocean, half mile, or g. mile or two miles higher to which levels they rise at night. This seems to be their night, down in the daytime. Some of these deep dwellers when darkness falls. ascend almost to the ocean sur face and tken having accomplished their purpose, descend again.
 What is their purpose? It is the simple and natural one of getting food for themselves, food being more abun- dant in the upper levels than in the depths. And they come up at night because many of the fierce top-dwell- ing fish, swift darting mackerel, for in stance, are unable to see at night, which leaves the slow and puny depth dWellers free to feed on small shrimps, crusteceans, fish larvae, etc, that float abundantly at and near the surface, whereas in daylight they themselves would be devoured by their powerful enemies. These upward migrators from the depths have enormous eyes which, doubtless, enable them to see perfectly in the moon and star light, dihused through the upper levels, that must seem to them brilliantly illumin- ated after the utter darkness below.
 It may be mentioned that the method by which these deep sea fish accomplish their nightly vertical mi grafton is very much of mystery as there is a difference between the near surface water pressure and that at a three mile depth of several tons to the square inch. How do these weak frail creatures accommodate themselves to
