''Just now there is a great deal of
foolish agitation in some quarters in
favor of placing an embargo upon
wheat and other food products ard
thus prevent their expectation to
foreign countries, says the Pennsyl-
vania Farmer. However justifiable
such an act might be under the i'm
aginable conditions it cannot be said
truthfully that the present situation
calls for any such inconsistent and un-
just action. While it is admitted that
prices of all commodities are high
too high in many instances-they
are due to abnormal and temporary
conditions, and are sympsthetically
resultant with each ether. An en-
barge on food stuffs would be illogical
for several reasons: First, because the
food supply of our country is not
dangerously short; second, the Federal
and state governments, together with
business mems associations are con-
Quoting an Unprecedented campaign
intended to improve agriculture and
make it more profitable, and an en-
barge at this time would tend to undo
and discourage progress in this de-
velopement; third, farmers have
always been told that the law of sup
ply and demand was the natural and
only arbiter of the prices of his pro-
duce, hence an arbitrary interference
in demand would be as unfair as for
the farmer to arbitrarily limit pro-
duction; fourth to place the farmer 8
products on a fictitious price basis
while he is compelled to pay the alb
normal prices for labor and the things
he must buy would be unjust; fifth,
the demand for an embargo comes
with poor grace from labor organiza-
tions which have been profiting under
the strained conditions, and which also
advocated a stringent and exclusive
immigration act; sixth, it would De
highly inconsistent for our government
to withhold food from the unfortunate
starving people of Europe while still
permitting the expectation of mum
tions of war for the purpose of killing
each other. Since. owing to circum'
stances, the greater part of our exports
go to the allies rather than to Other
ports as well, it is possible that par
of the agitation in this country is borr
of desire to limit the supplies o1
the allies. 1t must be remembered
that part of the cause Cf high price,
is due to a shortage of many crops
and that farmers are not proportion
ately profting by the high prices sine,
the production of the lessened yielr
costs nearly as much as would bum
per crop. Before we talk of placing
an embargo let US learn to save ant
make the best use of what we have
There is no question but that if every
one would learn to economize and sto
the waste of necessities it would go
long way towards reducing the higE
cost of living. We urge our reader
to protest against the placing of a
embargo on farm products and we be
lieve that the better sense of tn
country as a whole will realize
would be unjust and will join in tn
protest"

A Sprayinq Manual.

ArHansas has a reputation for good apples and peaches, but if our or chardists do aot study the art and science Of spraying with a good deal more zeal our reputation will be lost. Oregon apples are sold in Little Rock
 at higher price than Arkansas ap
 pies and four stores in Arkansas cities
 keep Oregon and Washington apples to every one that handles Arkansas apples. The Extension Division of the
 University of Arkansas has just put out a remarkable spraying manual that is different from any other ever published. It enumerates the pests and diseases on fruit, vegetables and berries and states the spray to be used. The manual was prepared by Professors Hewitt, Wicks, Becker and Heard of the departments of Plant Pathology, Horticulture and Entomol- ogy of the Arkansas College of Agri- culture It is a manual for the busy orchardist and gardner. It will be sent free on application to the Exten- sion Division, University of Arkansas.

IF BACK HURTS CLEAN
 KIDNEYS WITH SALTS
Drink Lots of Water and Stop Eating Meat for While If the Bladder
 Bothers You.

Meat forms uric acid which excites and overworks the kidneys in their efforts to filter it from the system. Regular eaters of meat must flush the kidneys occasionally. You must re- lieve them like you relieve your bow els; removing all the acids, waste and poison, else you feel dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment; the channels often get irritated. obliging you to get up two or three times during the night.
 To neutralize these irritating acids and flush off the body's urinous waste get about four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy; take a table spoonful in glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kid neys will then act fine and bladder disorders disappear This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys and stop bladder irritation. lad Salts is inexpensive; harmless and makes a delightful etfervescent Whitewater drink which millions of men and women take now and then, thus avoid ing serious kidney and bladder dis eases.-Adv.

PooIroon, Ordinance Void.

The drastic pool room ordinance passed by the Malvern City Council recently was declared null and void by the supreme court The ordinance required operators of pool halls to pay an annual license of 5000 and give a $1,000 bond to obey every provis on of the ordinance. It also required pro- prietors of billiard halls to keep a record of every player and to sign a register to be kept for that purpose. The opinion handed down by the su- preme court, stated that the ordinance, while supposed to regulate billiard halls, in fact suppressed them alto gether. It further held that if it did not operate to suppress them, it was a revenue measure, and that the ordi- nance was void on either theory.
