Goats and Sheen.

Arkansas could well afford to in- troduce in the next ninety days a million goats and half as many sheep. Of course it would be impos- sible to get that many but Dean ]. H. Miller of the Extension Division of the University Of Arkansas and |. & Department of Agriculture be- lieves that this is a golden opportu- nity for Arkansas. Wool is higher than for many, many years. 3S Co i2 cents a pound and sheep will be profitable for a long time. They are worth their keep as cleaners. Goats are worth buying for cleaning up the thousands of acres of hill and timber lands and eTTTing them ready for the sheep and for seeding of grasses and clovers. The young and the clips from the goats and sheeo Will return a good profit It will pay farmers to look into the sheer and goat business right now. Write for informamti0p.

LIBERTY IS ISSUE
 SAYS SAVOYARD
Mexican Question Largely a Matter of American Greed, Declares the keen and Forceful
 Writer.

Washington. June i0.-0ne of the keenest and most forceful writers on public affairs in the national capital is E. w Newman. who is best known by his pen name of ~Sav0yardn Mir. Newman has some very positive views on the Mexican situation. He believes that much of the trouble with which the repub- lc on the south has been beset is traceable Co the large amount of American money that is invested in that country.
 Moreover. Mr. Newman has de- plared that President Wilson re- epniiy precisely defined the Mexican question when he said it was lies. That is what it is and all 1t is, and all lt ever was, according to MT Newman.
 The other morning l went out for a stroll on Pennsylvania avenue said Mr. Newman. The papers said that Villa was dead. and it was easy to see that it was the most dolefOl tidings American interVen- lstionst had heard since the an- nouncement of the election oi Woodrow Wilson to the presidency of our republic.
 These patriots are as discreet as Sir John FalStaff and as craven as Sir Andrew Aguecheek when Ger many is mentioned. but whep il comes to poor, wretched Mexico they are as brave as Hector of Troy and as fierce as Hotspur of North umberland As praeticed by some American statesmen, patriotism. thy name is sham
 And touching the Mexican dues- ton, the truth was never before re- Vealed-that where the carcass is the carrion crow will flock. Naboth the Jezreehte had vineyard hard by the palace of Ahah, king of Samaria That is this Mexican question-nothing else in the world to 1t. except that the matter of hu- man slavery enters into the equa- ton,
 They are fighting the battle be- tween slavery and liberty to a finish in Mexico. Had adventurous Amei- can capital been kept out of that fair land liberty would have tri- umphed long ago, as it is bound to triumph in the end.
 Many of our interventionists are for Roosevelt for the Republican nomination Why2 Because they hope that if elected president he will give to Mexico the peace of Warsaw. fasten slavery on that mis- erable people and force dividends out of Mexican peons to swell the profit Of predatory wealth in the United States.

away 10 palisades or grand canyons for
the summer, are urged TO help clothe

supply the magic. A little box of vari-
colored plants and dropping or climb

said. would soften the glare of gray
