GERMAN vS, AMERICAN s.t < PATRIOTISM.

Subscribing to government bonds is new experience to Americans, but if the war lasts years longe: they will have to get accustomed to it.
 It's alright to pat ourselves on the back and say we are providing bfl' lions of dollars with relat::::. ease. The enemy also has provided billions of dollars with which to fight us.
 Germany has had seven ioans to date. The following are the dates and amounts:
 September, 1914, first wa joan of $1,115, ,OOO,00O.
 March, 1915, second war loan of g., 265, 100000 " September, 1915, third war loan of $3,s25. 100000.
 March, 1916, fourth far loas of s2. 67S,O00.OoO.
 September. 1916, fifta war loan of $2,674, 100000.
 March, 1917, sixth war loan of $S,- 192,OO0.O 900.
 October, 1917, seventh war loan of $3,1O7. 100000.
 Fellow Americans-yo must be as loyal to our own United States as the Germans are to the kaiser's au- tocracy. You must be prepared to buy Liberty bonds every time they are offered.

Hecretarw Daniels says. "The pig n of as great value in winning the wAr as the she'll"
 S in Arkansas the pig has never re- ceived his just dues. We have treat ed him like a step child, caring not whithcr he roamed nor what ,iusks he ate, nor yet what dogs chased him. tie has, to very large extent, been d4nied a place in the barn, except as q acavenger and a cleaner of the barn yNrd. He has been exiled to the woods. allowed to run wild. compel!. sek to feed on what he coul. forage for. and virtually to steal his Twin, from fields at the price of dog-bitten e4rs end torn sides. His subsistence, hAs been so tain that he has become abywcrd in the land. The "Arkansas Raxorback" is known from coast to coast, and when other people in cta- er portions of the country wish ic emphasize the wildness or the atten' uxtion of an animal they liken it to the Arkansas razorback.
 Because of the teaming wealth of the South we have heretofore been able to treat the uig with this scant courtesy, but the porker has grown in Importance. He has usurped the throne erstwhile occupied by my lady, the American nen. His meat and his fat have become the potent clements in the greatest international war the world has even known, and We of the South can no longer afford to hold him as a thihs of nothing, as creature to be tolerated in our woods, but not to be invited to the se- Curity of any roof on the fa,m.

We rave rever practiced that 2raisewor- 5 thy attention to the hog that has characterized the weSterner, because we have never known as the west esner has known that the pig is a lsmortgage payer.

IN MEMORY OF DIR. w. H. WHITE
 OF JACKSONVILLE, ARK.

Oh death, unwelcome visitor.
 We hear your footsteps fall, And one that we loved dearly
 Has answered to your call. While we are left here in sadness
 With cupful of sorrow to drink He has just crossed over the river While we still wait at the brink. Oh dear ones, you will miss him,
 You will miss his loving care, No one to sootae the aching hearts,
 Or fill his vacant chair. Why he was taken from us
 Is moro than we can tell, But yet we know our Father
 Must doeth all things well. Though the night was dark and dreary
 Oh the sunlight's rays would fall, He was ready, ever willing,
 To respond to every call. If in sickness or in trouble
 Hc would ever give them aid, Though 1t be a friend or stranger,
 If the price was never paid. But Q treasure is laid up in heaven :. On this ono we won't have to wait, For the hand of our Savior is ready
 To open the beautiful gate. 9vVR!+'sks By Mrs. w. M. Curry, BIZ Gaines street. Little Rock, Ark.

 BlG BOXING FARCE
SCHEDULED MAIN EVENT IS KEEN DISAPPOINTMENT TO
 BOXING FANS PRESENT.

Frank Mantell, of Dayton, billed as the Canadian champion, and Sailor Einert, of Cincinnati staged a bowling farce !n the Grand Opera house last night, Mantell was getting the bet ter of the bout and in the second round round sent Einert Co the floor with a right to the chops, In the fifth, Einert again went to the floor. He didn't appear much hurt. The ref cree was counting, when Mantell pushed that official aside, picked Up and started to wallop him. Imm 1iate- ly the crowd was in an uproar
 Had a competent official been the third man in the ring the foul would have been recognized and the decision given to the Cincinrau uan. Nantell should have been immediately dis qpalJ ed Instead t1Ce was over half an hour of wraa q g. Liner' $ met 6eclming to let nin set Lack into The rug Billy Ly't1 announced m. ess tue ua rons ga the remainder of the bout neither Einert CT Mantell would be paid for their services. The bout was finally resumed, with new referee, which caused another "squak' from Mantell
 The remaining rounds were in Man tells favor. Neither man showed any thing like the class 1t was hoped for. In fact iudaing from what they eX- hibited last night, Marshall Claiborne, the local product could tie one hand behind him and win from both of them in the same night
