There are more persons who sponge from newspapers than from any other source. When a man comes into the world he re- ceiyes free ad, /" when he dies his bad debts are overlooked by the charitable editor. All during his life he asked and receives favors from the newspapers. If they speak well of him the flat tering notice is received in silence If his acts are cricicized he talks of a suit for damage. He desires favorable mention and he desires it often. In fact some men have an idea that a news paper is run expressly to keep them before the public, and that too, without money and without price.

Labor is the source of wealth. No other means of producing wealth have ever been or ever will be found. It must be wrung from the soil by patient toiI; it must be brought up from mines deep in the earth by the labor of men; it must be coined from the forest by the axman and the mill- man, it must be wrougth out from the raw materials by the skill. the patience and the labor of human operatives. The cause of this and all other communities today, is that so many peasons are trying to escape this Heaven ordained law. and to secure some thing for nothing wealth with out labor of their own.

ARKANSAS WHEAT

will state that we are pleased to advise you that the quality of Arkansas raised wheat this year is superior to.the soft wheat rais- ed in any state in the Uuion.
 When the war broke out the first of August two years ago, it looked like the Arkansas farm CT was facing ruin To help thls situation. wel appropriated one thousands. dollars to advertise wheat a Growing in Arkansas ardswe started out to sell at cost l five thousand bushels of seed wheat.
 The idea!of raising our meat and bread in Arkansas took like wiId-hre.5 Your good publication together with several others, aided us materially in this move ment. which was started several months. .Ebefore the other cam paigns. z When the wheat season Was!over we found that we had sold thirtya, thousand bushels of seed wheat, We have put out more than ten thousand letters on how to prepare the seed bed and the kind of wheat to SOW, also found that we had more than double the wheat acreage in Ark ansas as a whole and had suc- ceeded insgetting practically one hundred thousand acres soWed in wheat that had formerly been in cotton.
 The quality of the first crop was exceedingly good, but un- fortunately just at harvest it be- gan to rain. Last year Arkan- sas raised more than twice as much wheat as the state had ev- CT raised before, but the wet harvest affected the grade just as it affected it in practically ev, ery other state. This year we had almost perfect conditions for harvesting, but the yield was not up to expectation. The yield in every soft wheat state this year was very disappointing, still the yield in Arkansas is better per acre than in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee and kentuc- ky, and the price received by the Arkansas farmer in any other state
 Considering that the value of the wheat land above mentioned is from two to four times higher than the land sown in wheat in Arkansas, this makes a very fine showing for Arkansas wheat.
 Our laboratory investigation developed the fact that Arkan- sas soft wheat makes a winter, hutfler biscuit than any soft | wheat we have been able to buy. |
 Recently we received a con- tract for five thousand barrels of | our Dolly Dimple flour, after the Hinrich'S Laboratories of St. Louis had made the following | test on Dolly DimpIe, which was . made fromArkansas wheat, com | pared with one of the best flour made from Missouri wheat He 1 SHOWS the comparative biscuit /. value of the Arkansas wheat with the Missouri wheat as fol- lows.

AVIATION CORPS
IS INEFFICIENT
SENATOR SAYS
Robinson of Arkansas Asks for
Searching Investigation Of
Service.
WORK HANDLED IN
VERY ROTTEN Way
Letters Between Army Officers
Are Offered in Substan'
tiation.

Washington, Feb. lS.-Sensational
charges against the army aviation
service with demanu for immediate
investigation by congress, were made
today before the senate military COM
mittee by Senator Robinson Of Arkan-
sas. He declared that the service
was '.contemptibly inefficient" and
that it's head lieutenant, Colonel Sam
uel Reber, ,not only was making no ef-
fort to improve it, but deliberately
was preventing the facts from reach.
ing his superior. '....
Has Mass Of Data.
The senator appeared before the
committee with a mass of data, in
Guiding Photographic copies of let
ters which he said had been exchang-
ed between Col. Reber and Captain
Arthur S. Cowan, commanding the
aviation station at San Diego. AT
least, part of this evidence was pro-
duced before the court martial at San
Francisco, which recently tried Lieut..
Col. Lewis E. Goodyear, judge advo-
cate general of the Western depart
ment, accused Of improperly altering
certain charges filed by other officers
against Captain Cowan.
Findings of Commission.
The findings of this court now are
in the hands Of a special commission
of army officers, appointed by the act
ing secretary of war to make q report
to President Wilson.
Senator Robinson read liberal ex-
cerpts from his photograph Of letters
anu quoted Captain Cowan as writing
to Col. Reber that if the service ever
came under investigation by any one
outside the signal corps, it wou Id be
impossible to explain the rotten way
in which the work has been handled"
Other letters were produced to show
that favoritism was practiced in the
promotion of men in the service.
Practiced Deceit.
The senator charges that Col. Re-
ber promoted Captain Cowan to prac-
tice contemplate deceit toward
congressman who visited the aviation
station and that he attempted to get
into the annual appropriation bill in
connection with the items for the pur-
chase of airships provision for the
purchase of accessories" with which
to buy automobiles. He said the COL
onel wrote that the word "accessor-
les" would be like charity and cover
multitude of SINS"

SEN. LODGE DENOUNCES
TEUTQNS QNSUBMAR|NEP0uCY

Washington, Feb. 1S,-Germany's s
announced intention of destroying
without warning armed merchantmen
of her enemies was denounced in the
senate today by Republican senators,
who declared that for the United
States to acquiesce in such practice
would be .humiliating and "a step: to-
ward war.
Senator Lodge, ranking minority
member OF the foreign relations com.
mittee, started the discussion by de-
livering long prepared address re.
viewing international law relating to
the arming of merchantmen for de.
fense, and declaring it was incon.
ceivable that the United States at this
time would abandon. a principle for
which it always had stood.
Such step, he insisted, would be
an unneutral act and virtually would
make the United States an ally Of
the nation whose commerce has been
swept from the seas.
Senator Sterling of. South Dakota
followed with speech assailing Ger
many, and charging that the Ameri-
can government. in its recent mem0r.
andum to the. Entente. allies, suggest
ing the disarming of merchantmen,
had put forward a dangerous prin-
ciple and had encouraged, if not in
vited, the action of Germany:

GERMANY Will
STAND PAT ON
NAVAL WARE ARE
All Armed Merchantmen to Be
Sunk Without Warning Of
Any Kind.
FLAT REFUSAL TO
COMPROMISE EXPECTED
Principles Laid Down in the Lusi.
tania Case Will Not
Apply.

Washington, Feb. 18.-Germany's S
response to the latest request of the
United States for assurances that sub
marine warfare will be conducted in
accordance with established princi-
pies of international law is expected
here to be fiat statement that as
surances previously given in the Lusi-
tania and Arabic cases had to do only
with unarmed vessels, and that the
German government must feel GER
tain that it's submarines, which warn
q merchant ship, will not be attack
ed. Furthermore, the Berlin foreign
Office probably will ask the United
States for it's definition of defensive
armament.
Reply Indicated.
Indications. of what the German re-
ply may be are understood to have
been given in informal conversation
between state department officials
and Teutonic diplomats since they an
nounced their intention of sinking all
armed merchantmen after February
20.
The United States today made it's
first formal declaration that it does
not accept as legal the announced
intention Of the Teutonic powers,
when the state department sent to
the consular representatives abroad,
for their information, notification that
this government considers that mer-
chant ships have a right to carry de.
fensive armament. The dispatches
contained excerpts from newspaper
articles setting forth the position
of the United States.
swedes TO Keep OF Crafts.
In this connection 1t became known
the. the Swedish government had in
stlucted its consular officers to ad-
wise all Swedish subjects preparing
to embark on vessels of the Entente
allies of r the warning given by Ger
many and Austria iin
It.. is considered certain that the
question Of defining the defensive
armament will be the basis of lengthy
negotiations with the Central powers,
beginning when the reply is received
to the message outlining the views
of the United States, which Count
Won Bernstorff. the German ambas-
sador, has sent his government. In
this message, the ambassador trans.
mitted at some length the views ex-
planned to him by Secretary Lansing.
The response is not expected before
the last of next week.
1t was admitted at the state depart.
ment today that the question of writ
ing a formal note on the subject of
the conduct of subalnrine warfare af-
ter the complete German declaration
and it's appendix had been received,
was under consideration. 1t is GER
tain that Austria also will be supplied
with the views of the United States,
although SO far as can be ascertained,
no steps in this direction have as yet
been taken.
