RECORD YOUR
RESOURCES.
Show Your Patriotism By Coming
to Your Voting Place JULY,
And Registering

I h e Fe deral government
through the Councils of National
Defense has asked that every
farmer and producer in this
great country of ours give an ac-
curate record of what he is pro-
ducing.
The good business man makes
a careful inventory of his assets
and liabilities at least once a
year. These inventories are
necessary in order that he may
know whether he is making or
losing money. In this way only
can he fortify his business
against possible loss.
We are at war with one of the
most powerful and the most
brutal foe in the world. We
must win this war, and in order
to win we must throw all our re.
scources into the struggle. Our
resources consist of every thing
that can be used against this
enemy. 1t consists of men and
money, it consists of all availa.
bic material that can be used in
war. 1t consists every available
article food Tor man and animal.
We have got to feed our selves
and our allies and to do this we
must know how much food we
will have when the present crop
is harvested. We have been
asked to ascertain what Critten-
den Co will have to feed herself
and to sell to others.
We feel that the people of this
county are patriots enough to
give one day to this work. We
are asking you to come to your
voting places Saturday July Z,
and there record all your farm
products. This will not take
more than one half day for any
one and We feel sure that you
will be glad to do this for the
good of your country.
We fear that our people do not
realize the seriousness Of the
situation, twenty five thousand
of our boys are at the front now,
and they are fighting for US they
are our representatives in this
great struggle. Before many
months pas we will have millions
of soldiers in the trenches. but
they are so far away that we do
not grasp the situation as it con.
fronts US.
Now suppose that a few bombs
could be dropped from the clouds
by the enemy air men into our
community We would wake up
and begin to ask what we can
do, our patriotism would soon be
at white heat and we would be
ready to do ony thing that our
government called US to do.
1t is our earnest desire that
Crittenden county do her part
and do it we'll. We have always
been up and doing in the past so
let us wake up to a realization of
the situation, to the fact that we
are in actual war and that we
have got a part to play, that no
one else can play for US, and like
all good citizens do our duty and
do it well.

The CHAU7AUQUA
HAS come & GONE
A Week Of High Class and Edueat.
ionaI Entertainments Came 70
A Close Yesterday

The Redpath Chautauqua for
1917 is now in the past, but who
can truthfully say we have not
had a season Of pleasure and re-
taxation well worth the cost.
The program this year was far
a head of any previously present
ed here and was good from the
very beginning. That person who
could not get the price of a sea.
sons ticket out of most any at
traction offered has something
wrong with his mechanism. The
The program embraced subjects
to interest big, little. old and
young, and Mr. Sypert, the d.
rector, was onto his job and
came right up to the standard
already set, by Dickie and 9TH
ers SO popular here on previous
engagements.
On Wednesday. June 10th, the
Bohemian orchestra appeared in
two engagements. and the six
pieces were handled in marvel
GUS fashion, furnishing a de-
lightful prelude. to the big pro-
gram, and was followed Monday
evening by DR.. Martin, D. Hard
in, in his great lecture, "Ameri-
ca and the world of tomorrow"
The speaker came not as q
stranger to Marion, we feel that
we knew him before. He is
son of P. Watt Hardin, a much
loved public man in this state,
and is a son-in-law of Adlai E.
Stephenson. that figure in ma
tional history Of whom democrats
are SO proud, and further we
knew of him through Rufus and
Roy Terry, two of our county
joys now living in Chicago where
they were members of DR.. Hard
ms church, he has been a Presby-
terrain minister. 1t is said of his
lecture, that the United States
government released all war
taxes from Redpath Chautauquas
when it became known to the
powers that be in Washington
City, that DR.. Hardin's lecture
was on the program. Every
Chautauqua tent became at once
a temple of liberty.
DR.. Hardin last year lectured
on the topic, Civilization at the
Cross roads," speaking to large
audiences in l12 cities on one of
the Western Redpath circuits.
Il am not a peace at any
price man," declared DR.. Mar
tin D. Hardin. whose peace lee
ture concerning the titanic
struggle in Europe was declared
by William j. Bryan to be the
strongest speech delivered in
America on the European situa-
ton"
A Southerner by birth, Dr..
Hardin is a man of Northern ex-
perierce, until recently holding
the pastorate of one of the larg-
est of Presbyterian churches in
Chicago. resigning to enter the
lecture field.
The Beulah Buck Quartet
which appeared in prelude and
full program Thursday is a type

Neglected Duty.

There is one duty that human be- fngs conspicuously neglect. It is a tremendously important duty. And 1t Is also, for most human beings. the most attractive duty in the world. Nevertheless, in spite of it's attract iveness and it's importance, it is sell dom spoken of. There are millions of people who don't recognize it as a duty. So they neglect to strive for it. Then they wonder why they have not achieved the duty. Sometimes they complain, bitterly. Occasionally, by a chance, tbey do achieve the duty with out recognizing it as a duty Then they neglect it, and they suffer for the rest of their lives. Surely you know what the duty is. It is simply the duty of being happy-New York Tel egram-

Clay Bird vs. Live Bird sased.


 In comparing trap with wing-shoot- ing the contrasts are what stand out most prominently. Some of these are rather interesting to note: The clay bird is going fastest when it leaves the trap and loses speed very rapidly: the real bird is going least fast when tt gets up and gains speed rapidly. It is estimated that the former has an initial velocity of 150 feet per second. whereas the real bird starts with only the spring imparted by it's legs. In spite of this tremendous advantage at the start, however, it is amazing to see how quickly the real bird catches up; clay bird will travel about I5 feet the first second and at the end of that time a quail flushed at the same instant would be only 25 feet behind it and ruffed grouse from 15 to 70 feet behind.-Outing.

Untidiness as well as neatness has it's rewards. A literary man the oth- CT day married the woman he made lis wife, according to the Pittsburgh Dispatch, because he happened one day to get peep at her top bureau drawer. That can hardly be possi- ble," said a woman who knew the bride. T have seen her top bureau drawer myself, and since top bureau drawers were invented there never was such topsy-turvey drawer as she kept" Yes, but that is why he mar ried her." said the other.
