A NATURAL HANDICAP.

The Life Extension institute is an organization which is fighting disease through publicity. It's membership includes some of the greatest living scientists and educators These au- thoritfes have put forth many rad ical statements concerning alcohol They declare that the present antag onistic attitude of several European monarchs towards this "deadening drug is fully warranted by scientific evidence. "Alcohol,' they say, lis a handicap for nation at war It is handicap for an individual in the strug- gle for existence. This is not the judgment of scientists alone, nor of weddings and faddists, but of the big brained, strong-fibered men upon whom has fallen the tremendous bur den of guiding great nations through the greatest crisis in history

FARMERS FROM BELGIUM
 ARE WANTED IN SOUTH.
Colonies Established Already In Georgia
 and North Carolina.

At an immigration conference in Sa- yannah, Ga, one of the principal ques- tons was that of methods of encour- aging Belgian farmers to locate in Georgia.
 This is not the beginning of such movement in Georgia nor ill the south. It was started several months ago, with the result that there are now sev- eral colonies of Belgian truck farmers in southern Georgia. Similar move ments have been started in other states, notably in North Carolina, where there are one or two colonies of Belgians.
 This demand for Belgians is due to two causes-frst, the south entertains a profound sympathy for the Belgians in the plight the war has brought upon

AN UNcoMPRoMlslNe ENEMY

T am the sworn, eternal and un- compromising enemy of the liquor traffic. declared Dr Billy Sunday, re- gently in Philadelphia. Stand by me, he pleaded, in my fight for your homes, your families, and your de- cency. The saloon is doomed the an- tisaloon sentiment already holds the balance of power in the United States In Gods good time we are going to sing My Country 'Tis of Thee, and there won't be a saloon in it. We might as well try to dam Niagara Falls with toothpicks as try to stem the great tide of temperance reform that is sweeping our country"

FROST" STILL ECHOES.
Statistics Show Enormous Quantity Of
 Beer Made In Germany.

Some idea of the enormous quantity of beer manufactured for the use of Bavarian soldiers in the field can be gathered from the figures of the au- thorities of the First Bavarian army corps, just published.
 Munich breweries alone deliver, it is estimated. 40 carloads of beer in kegs and 60 carloads of bottled beer each week. The first contains an average of 1920 gallons to carload and the sec ond $500 three-quarter liter bottles. Other breweries deliver 50 carloads of keg beer, 1920 gallons to a car.
 Engaged in making this beer are the Bavarian State brewery, the Royal Hofbrauhaus and the state owned Weihanstephan brewery, in addition to many private breweries. The army authorities pay 24 marks for keg con tafninS twenty-two gallons and 23 marks for ease containing fifty three quarter liter bottles.

ROOSEVELT'S OPINION,

Colonel Roosevelt says: There is nothing more absurd than the belief that the closing of the saloon will cause workingmen to lose their jobs There are few things more important to our social advancement than the loosening of the grip of the liquor in- terests upon the labor movement. The saloon always represents economic loss."

COST OF JOHN RARLEYcoRN.

COST OF JOHN RARLENCc3N.
 The credit side of the account of city with John Barleycorn is very wide ly advertised by the liquorites. They eudeayor to make the public believe that there is uo debit side and fat too few communities take the trouble to investigate and discover what is paid out of their treasurios to offset the Ii. conse money paid in by the saloons At the insCigati0n of Governor Brsm baugh of Pennsylvania, Philadelphias account with the liquor traffic has been carefully figured up and given to the public. It shows that John BarleycOrn costs the city each year more than $3,000,000; that more than one-half of the expense of the police department of the great city is made necessary by the liquor traffic; that the per cent of expense of other departments of the city government due 10 alcohol is, sui cides, D per cent; home for the in digent, 60 per cent; general hospital 35 per cent; county prison, 50 per cent; district attorneys office, so per cent; clerk of the quarter sessions, so per cent; juvenile court, 50 per cent
 Such figures certainly reflect upon the common business sense of the man voters of Philadelphia, especially in view of the statement in the report, that the sum of $3000,000 is far in excess of the money paid into the treasury for liquor licenses"
 A similar problem in civic economy should be presented to the voters of every city which tolerates the liquor traffic.

120 Acres In Pototoes

Russel Bagget of Lonoke, a former resident of Little Rock who acquired all of his agricultu- ral education at the Russelville agricultural School, has 120 acres planted in Irish potatoes, and will harvest 5000 bushels this year according to T. A. Allen, horticulturalist of Russellville agricultural school, who was in Little Rock yesterday. Mr. Allen cites this instance of success of those who have attended the dis. trict agricultural schools of the state. On account of the lack of funds Mr, Allen will be forced to leave the school at Russelville and will go into the fruit busi- ness al Nashville.-Arkansas Ga zette.

Noteworthy Improvement

We wish to extend thanks on behalf of the people of Carlisle and others interested to the Carlisle Cemetery Association for the interest they have taken and in the improvements they have made upon the City's bury ing grounds.
 Under the supervision of Rev. H. J. Lilly the cemetery has undergone marked change this spring and is now in model condition, which causes much favorable comment by the many people who have occasion to tray. el the road leading past our "city of the dead"
 This Association is doing a noble work and are receiving letters and donations from peo. pie who live in other states who have relatives buried here. ex. pressing gratitude for the work of keeping things in proper con- dltlons, aside, from the hearty cooperation and support accord by the local citizens who are interested in this grave yard
 The association is not vet through with the good work in hand and will luther beautify this place by putting out more shrubery and also building a new and substantial fence around It. Of course it takes money to do these things and it is the duty of every citizen to help towards this cause and if there any who have not made a donation toward this cause you should not hesi- tate, but make same at once. You can make donations to F. E. Marble or H. l. Buechley and same will be properly credited and used, as this association is doing things strictly on bust ness plan. It is permanent organization and will continue from year to year to look after the welfare of the Carlisle ceme. tery. Give them your hearty support both morally and finan cially.

SCIENTIST SOLVES PROBLEM.
Clock With No Visible Works
 Not a Mystery to Him.

What moues the hands of the strange clock in the window at the Dairymen's Bank is no long CT a mystery. A man of learn ing offers the following lucid ex- planation:
 Tt is surprising that so many people should make such 8 mys- tery of the clock. It's easy enough to explain, if you will watch it closely. There are no pendelous oscillations cognizable, but the elongated indicators of aluminium construction peram bu- lates a circumscribed radius with a circumferential activity, there by registering accurately the subdivisions of it's circumfer- ence. The energizing impulse necessary to accomplish the re- sultant activity is not sufficiently accelerated to destroy the mol ocular cohesion of it's atomic con- stitunets. It's syncronization is promulgated by the direct dis semination of activic rays, and the nocturnal and diurnal deffec- tions are capitalized by contrac- tion and expansion.
 This was made perfectly clear to the editor by scientific friend and we give you hls explanation, as we'll as we remember it.

Big Wheat and Oat Crop

This section of Arksnsas is busy harvesting the largest wheat and oat crop ever grown in its history. The high price and scarcity of feedstuff makes the oat crep extremely valuable to the farmers at this time of the year. It will also mean more money for this part of the country in the fall.

Tribute to "Old Pide'

The dairy COW is the most eco nomical producer of human food among farm animals. During one year of her usefulness a good dairy COW will produce more human food than a beef steer during three years. More over, the beef steer must die to yield up his supply of human food, while the dairy COW contin ues year after year to duplicate her large production of Natures best and in death adds her flesh as last contribution to the de- minishing meat supply of the world.
 When and wherever land be- comes high-priced and the hu- man population large the dairy COW finds her largest and best field of usefulness. And wheL- ever land is cultivated and the growing of legumes become nec- essary for maintaining soil fertil- .ity, the dairy COW has a three fold usefulness uneqaled by any other farm animal.
 
 She produces large supply of Natures one complete food for feeding the family; one afford in the sale of dairy products a constant, regular income to maintain the farm: and she furnishes the best market for feedstuffs Qegumes) grown on the farm, because when cream or butter is sold she gives back to the farm a maximum of the fertilizer elements in the feed stuffs consumed.
 The South needs more dairy COWS because millions of dollars are sent to other sections for dairy products every year and because many families are now deprived of dairy foods, which if produced at home would reduce the cost of living and add value and variety to the daily ration. The South also needs more dairy cows because we should and can produce forage crops cheaply and because we have the best and cheapest dairy feed-rich in protein-known to the live stock world.
 To fail to grow these forage crops-legumes-andt to sell our cotton seed meal means soil rob- bery, low crop yields and poY erty, and the dairy COW offers the means of using these to the best advantage while returning a large part of the plant foods they con tain to the soil. - Progressive Farmer.

No Secret in Life, Nor Morals

Better that all our ships and all
 their crews
 Should sink and rot in oceans
 dreamless ooze.
 Each torn flag wavering challenge
 as it went,
 And each dumb gun a brave
 mans monument,
 Than ask such peace as only
 towards crave,
 Give me the peace of God or of
 the grave"
 In all critical periods or crisis, Providence produces the man for the emergency; and God never selects craven coward.
 When Gods time came to de- liver the children of Israel from Egyptian bondage. He selected a soldier and statesman, and His selection of a man proved to be the greatest law giver the world has ever known--in the person of Moses.
 When God wanted to deliver Israel from oppression of the nomadic robbers whose numbers were as the countless multitude of locusts as they overrun Cana an destroying everything; God instructed Gideon to select his officers to the Israelite army; if a man has house built, and not dedicated, he could be excused if he so elected; if a man had a be- trothed wife, he could be excus- ed if he so desired; but here is test of men: What man is there that be fearful and fainthearted. Let him go and return to his home" :" He reduced his army of 32,000 again and again until there was only 800 men remain ing, yet in the midnight attack upon the Midianites they routed them.
 Jesus Christ, the Son of God, knowing the cruel death and tor tue awaiting Him, fearlessly | pressed on in His work, and died | on the cross. Let us come to our own beloved country, when the colonies were oppressed by the mother country, God raised up Washington to lead the ragged 1 army of Continentals to victory.
 In the civil war between the North and South, Abraham Lin. coin was called to steer the ship | of state through the troubled | waters into haven of peace and 1 reunited country and people.
 While across the waters where nearly all Europe is engaged in the deadly grip of war, there is manifest and displayed fearless courage never before seen, where men realizing the danger are so freely facing it, and while the U. s. is menaced by Mexico, our neighbor on the border. and our ships of commerce. and Ameri- can lives have been lost notably' in the sinking of the Lusitania. our nation is thrice blessed by having at the helm of the ship of state, man whose wisdom, pat riOtism, statesmanShip, and his reverence of God has so far dem- onStrated that he is not actuated by grape-juice policy, of weak backbone, or lack of nerve, and that he is not a Peace at any price" man. President Wilson is an American spelled in capita letters, he has the brain and brawn, the nerve, and is fearless ly standing for American rights to be respected upon land and upon sea as well.

Judgment Day Is Ushered In

Recently at the Gem Theatre in Little Rock. Rev, J. A. Merg- gison spoke on the subject "Judg ment of the Nations. :" He said in part:
 Jesus having paid the deaty penalty for the world, who were all condemned in the trial in the garden of Baden has, by His death and resurrection, guaran- teed another judgment day for the world; and that His message is that all cleanse their charact- CTS from evil and practice good works that when that judgment day shall come they may be able to do the good works and get everlasting life. And He assures that those who waste their time here and develop evil characters now, will have a bitter time then and many chastisements until they learn righteousness.
 We see that not many of man. kind have given much heed to this warning, and now all the signs of the times show that the judgment has begun with the house of God, the Church, as Peter said it would. The light of the oncoming kingdom of the Lord is showing up the darkness and the honesthearted are exam ming their faith and their life, squaring their doctrines with the word of God, and bringing their lives into harmony with the will ot God. The churches and individual Christians are being shaken and tested and tried and the Lord assures us that all which is not in harmony with His kingdom will be shaken out and destroyed for He will shake the earth Truman society,", and the Heavens (the religious organiza- tions). 1t is up to every individ- ual then to honestly investigate his belief, and say with Paul. Let God be true though it make every man a liar" that 1 will be heve the truth even if I have to change every one of my beliefs
 The judgment is involving the world, and society is be. 2 shak- en. tested to prove it's worthi- ness to continue, or else it's un- worthlness. And the light of this judgment is showing that the world socially, financially and in the government, is based on selfish principles, and that self ishness rules from top to bottom. Great corporations have grasped the resources of the earth and turned the wealth into the hands of the few, with but little regard for the welfare of the people, and He assures us that the princes of commerce and finance will suffer for their abuse of opportunity (James 5.1 6; Isa. 5:1123: 34:1 6; Ezekiel 7:1-19. The upper class es have paid but scant heed to the condition of the common peo- pie and the poor. and their day of reckoning is at the door. The ministers who have fed them selves and fed not the flock of God will be called to account and have the Lords sheep taken away from them (Ezk. s4:1-10). The great day of judgment is upon us. Who shall stand?
 What shall be our attitude at this time of trial. when the fire of the great day is showing every mans work of what sort it IS? In Isa. 56:1.2 the Lord gives all the honest hearted sound advice; Keep ye judgment The spirit of sound mind, level headed. Do not let excitement lead you into foolish extremes of thought and action. as even our president has said. A sound mind is se cured only by seeking for the will of the Lord and then carry ing it out to the best of our
