N0RTHCUTT FOR
STATES ATTORNEY
Popular Prosecuting Attor-
ney Announces Candidacy
For Reelection.

This issue of the Record contains
the announcement of H. A. North.
cutt as a candidate for reelection
as prosecuting attorney.
Mr.. Northcutt is now filling his
second term in that Office most &C.
ceptably. During the time he has
held the Office he has no doubt
made the acquaintance of a large
majority of the people Of this coun-
ty, and the people have had oppor-
tunity to judge him by his record
as that record has been made from
time to time in the courts. Along
this line it can be truthfully said
that his acquaintance both with the
people of the district and the duties
OF the office, gained from actual
experience, better qualify him to
represent the state than he would
be prepared if he had not had the
benefit and advantage of this ex-
perience.
AS a citizen he leads a clean life,
and is courteous and agreeable to-
ward all those with whom he comes
in contact. He is unassuming in
conduct, both in the transaction Of
his official duties and in private
life.
AS a public official Mr.. North.
cutt will rank among the most CAP
able prosecuting attorneys this dis
trict has ever had. 1t was said Of
him by a late attorney general Of
the state that he has larger per
cent of convictions to his credit
than any other prosecuting attorney
in Arkansas. He bears the record
in all the counties of the district Of
being always watchful Of the coun-
ty's interests, and the records will
prove that comparatively little
cost has been adjudged against the
county from criminal cases in the
circuit courts during the time he
has represented the state. He is
well versed in the law, and is a
forceful and earnest advocate when
presenting his cases to the courts
and juries. He does not persecute
people, but pleads cases that come
into the courts with the earnest.
ness and honestness that they de-
mand, and uses every legitimate
effort that the dignity Of the law,
the courts and the good citizenship
Of the country may be upheld and
defended. He is punctual at his
duties In the courts, and no time
is lost because Of tardineSs or lack
Of proper attention to the business
Of the court upon his part. II
would be hard to find q more care.
full and energetic prosecuting attor-
ney than the man who now fills
that place in the 18th judicial Cir
cult.
In asking another term at the
hands of the people Mr.. Northcutt
stands squarely upon the record he
has made while a public official
and courts an investigation Of his
acts, both private and public, by
the people, who have a right tC
know their officers fully.

England Raises Big
Force Without Con-
scriptiOn
PSYCHOLOGIST OF
MASSES DID 1T
Expert Publicists Tells
Generals How to
Get Men
eY WILLIAM c. SHEPHERD.

LONDON, Feb. 16.-tBy Main to
New York.)-It pays to advertise.
ASK Lord Kitchener. Ask Win
ston Churchill. Ask the English
government. Not many weeks ago.
Kitchener was a conscriptionist. He
had the mans size Job on his hands
OF getting together an army 10 times
larger than England had ever hoped
or planned to have. II looked to
him and many another Englishman
as IL the Kitchener army would. be-
yond certain point, have to be
made up OF drafted men.
But all this time an influence was
at work that Kitchener didn't know
much about. or war and armies, and
the task OF ruling colonies no man
knows more than Kitchener, but
what Kitchener knew about advertis-
ing-newspaper advertising. or. any
other kind-was nothing. There was
one man In England who knew as
much about advertising as Kitchener
did about armies, and, while Kitchen
er and his army council were worry
ing about CONSUMPTION, this man was
patiently. scientifically and hopeful
ly advertising. And this mans ad-
vertising has saved England from
conscription.
No Engiishmen are to be forced
into the army: no men are to be
dragged, unwilling from their fam
tiles; England will go through the
war with the proud boast that every
one OF her army of millions rs a
willing volunteer That is the out
look today. Kitchener is no longer
a conscriptionist. The voices Of the
dukes and lords who believed that
the masses ought to be forced to join
the army have been silenced. And
England will have the glory Of pos
sessing an army OF men who asked
to be permitted to fight for her.
This man is Hedley lie Bias. He's
psychologist OF the masses. He
knows how the public thinks and
what 1t wants, and what II will want.
And always before the public knows
these things itself. He has made a
fortune In publishing concern by
this talent. and, when this war start

ed to fight for their country. His
duty was TO tell them they did. The
