WHEN THE FARMER
COMES TO TOWN

How DO you greet the farmer
when he comes to town?
is your greeting such that he feels
that he is with us, but not of us? Or
is he made to feel he is in HIS town.
among HIS people,. and with HIS
friends?
The making or the marring of
his town depends greatly upon your
attitude toward the farmer when he
avors us with his visits.
He is the backboneof the comm H.
ity and without his aid and en-
engagement we would be an unsuc-
uccessful business community.
The townsman is no better han
he man from the farm, and the far
Ter can claim no superiority over
the townsman.
We are all human beings, with
the same aims and purposes In life,
and endowed with the same brands
f intelligence.
In fact, we are brothers. of COM
non community, the only difference
being that the one lives in town.
where life is little more diversi-
fed, while the other breathes God S
pure air in the green fields Of the
ountry.
Let us remember that we are
rothers, and sisters, and cousins,
nd that the welfare of one is vital
the success of the other.
When we ride out into the country
the farmer extends the hand of fell
owship, bids us welcome, and hands
hearty come again."
1t is a delightful characteristic Of
the man from the farm, for his
greeting is sincere and his invita-
ton is from the heart.
But what of us when the farmer
mes to town?
Is our welcome on the same high
plane as his?
Is he made to feel and realize that
our smile is for HIM, and not for
he contents Of his purse?
We of the town are proud of the
heir wives and their daughters.
They are men and women of a
Ugh order of intelligence, whose in
egrity is beyond question, and
whose thrift and energy and perse
err is transforming our coul-
rys..e into a hive of industry and
wealth.
They are builders, one and all.
But we fear that we of the town
are often forgetful of the great duty
hat we owe to them for their loyal
and generosity in support of the
ocal business community.
We ourselves know of the high
regard in which we hold the farme rs
of this community, but we doubt if
he farmers know of the VAIN senti-
ment which we entertain towards
i'm.
And this is because we think
luch and say too little.
l should not be SGT should be
therwise than thus.
Let us of the town cultivate a
more friendly and neighborly spirit,
ct us open our hearts that the farm
may look within for we are but
ne big family and should dwell to-
gether in unity and brotherly love.
Let us act as we feel, and give the
armers to understand that he is of
S, as we'll as With us.
w need each other, for prosper
us farming community makes a
i've town, and the prosperity of the
own adds life and enjoyment to the
countryside.

U-BOATS TAKE BIG
 TOLLS IN TONNAGE

Berlin, Dec. 13-(Special to The Press) German and Austrian submarines have, sIHce the begin ming of the British blockade of German ports, sunk 5O8 vessels with a combined tonnage of ST. 819. While a great many of this number were fishing trawlers and light sailing ships, the fact that the grand total approaches a million tons gives some idea of the fearful havoc wrought by these undersea craft. In gross tonnage the de- struction is equivalent to the sink ing of sixty-one battle cruisers of fifteen thousand tors each, or nearly thirty dreadnaughts of the Queen Elizabeth type. 4

LEADERS LINING UP IN GOVERNORS RACE

Little Rock, Dec. 13.-The meet4 ling of the democratic state central committee which was held in Little Rock last Thursday, was the final act before the formal opening ot the state political campaign. The prediction made several weeks ago that Associate Justice Carroll '. Wood and State Treasurer R. G, Mcdaniel would have no opposition is now an assured fact. Judge Wood has been on the supreme bench for a number of years and has the support of practically every lawyer in Arkansas. Several efforts to get out a candidate met with failure, and all now concede that he will have no opposition. RIG. Me Daniel, who is serving his first term as state treasurer, has had a clear field for some time, as no one has as yet been mentioned as a possible opponent He is one of the uOSI CdpdDle duu pOpulclh OL ficials in the statehouse.
 Lewis Rhoton of this city and John D. Arbuckle of Fort Smith are the only candidates for attorney general, M. P Huddleston of Para gould having withdrawn a week ago.
 For state auditor Dr. M. F. Dick inson and Hogan Oliver, sheriff ot Ashley county, are contending for the nomination.
 For Secretary of state, Tom Ter ral, Virgil A. Beeson of Morriltor and Jim Higgins of Conway are the candidates.

 is attracting more attention thar all the others combined, is begin ming to be divided in factions oI i lineups, as the politicians say, anC l by the end of the Christmas holi
