THE FALL FAIRS.

Nothing connected with the indus
trial life of the people of this country
is of greater importance at this time
than the county and neighborhood
fairs. Whatever else we may be
tempted to neglect, the fair should
not be allowed to suffer Every eff
fort should be put forth to make the
fair this fall bigger, better and Of
more far reaching influence than any
previous effort.
At this stage of our history the big
question, the question that overshad-
ows all others, is that of production.
We must produce, and produce, and
keep producing. In time past this
passion of production was based large
ly on desire; we desired the fruits Of
our labors for our qualification and
pleasure. Now, however, we must
produce as a matter of self preser-
walton. Indeed, the issue of the great
European conflict will turn largely
upon the producing capacity of the
United States.

to hear from ones neighbOrs and
friends an appreciation of this excel.

lating effort. The big hog in the pen
does not give us near the satisfaction
that it does when we see it decorated
with the blue ribbon. We appreciate
the fine poultry in the chicken yard,
but are doubly proud Of them in the
ribbon-deCked coop. In short, achieve
ment without appreciation is but half
success.
Then the spirit of competition will
carry us long way on the road to
successful production. A desire to
excel our neighbors is powerful stim.

premiums spurs us to unusual efforts
So, in order that production in the
United States may be stimulated to
the greatest possible extreme, let US

ARKANSAS FARMERS HELP TO

WE MUST WIN.

Those who. before the United
States entered the war thought II
better to remain neutral and post
pone until after the war the settle
ment of differences with belligorent
nations. will have no difficulty in
recognizing the change in the si'ua-
ton caused by our nations entrance
into the war. Had we remained neu.
tral we might have been able to act
as mediator and thus rendered an I'M
portant service to the world. In en-
tering the war. however, we surren-
dered that opportunity and incurred
the enmity of the central powers. A
new situation, therefore, confronts US.
We must not only protect ourselves
from those who are now our enemies,
but we must find an opportunity for
world service in aiding to arrange a
permanent peace, built on justice, lib
erty and democracy.
We MUST WIN. Defeat is incon'
ceivable-would be indescribably uu-
fortunate if it were possible, We can
not allow any foreign nation to de-
termine the destiny of the United
States-especially nation committed
as Germany is, to arbitrary govern
ment and militarism.
Neither can we afford to have our
allies overcome-that would bring
upon us the disasters of defeat or the
burden of carrying on the war alone.
We are in the war by the action of
congress-the only body authorized
to take the nation into war. The
quickest way to peace is to go straight
through, supporting the government
in all it undertakes, no matter how
long the war lasts or how much it
costs.
WE MUST WIN.
Any discOrd or division, after the
government has acted would prolong
the war and increase its cost in money
and men.

WORK THE ROADS.

One of the most pressing questions
in the country districts at this season
is the working Of the neighbOrhoOl
roads. Usually the main thorough
fares are taken care of by The county
or township authorities, bat there are
many cross country and neighbor.
hood roads that never see The road
overseer and his crew These are up
to the people themselves to keep in
passable condition.
In years past our people were pos
sessed with notion that the care of
the public thoroughfares was a matter
for the state or county entirely, and
that personally we need not concern
ourselves further than to pay our
taxes or contribute our assessed quota
of labor.
OF late, however, we are awaking to
the fact that the roads are in fact
OUR roads, and that neglect OF them
is neglect of our own property. They
are one of our greatest assets, more
especially if they be GOOD roads
They are doubly important just at
this time, when the item of transpor,
tation is one of the greatest questions
confronting the country.
The urge has gone out from Wash
ington that the American people use
their best endeavors that their every
effort be made to count to the full
that no effort be wasted From one
end of the land to the other the crops
will soon be moving over the country
roads If these roads are what they
should be, motive power will be ex'
pended to the best advantage; If these
crops are dragged through mud, gul.
lies, and over rocks and stumps, much
OF the motive power will be wasted
and waste is the one word we are
urged to eliminate from our vocabu-
larry. OIL

Three Months. Now Hale and
Hearty Since Taking Tanlae.

If there is a man in Macon who is
universally known and liked, that man
is George Samuel Riley the popular
and efficient Chief of Police OF that
city. Chief Riley has been prominent,
ly identified with Macon's public af,
fairs for a number of years, and is
highly esteemed and respected for his
high character and integrity by all
who know him. In an interesting in
terview recently, Chief Riley said;

ty, and have been living here for 3S
years. | have always enjoyed very
good health, and have been what you

Last June | was taken very sick, and
was confined to my bed for three
months with a trouble that developed
into pleurisy with serious complica-
tions, and i had to undergo several
operations. For a while | was err
tirely helpless.
After getting out nv right side

would get short, and | had terrible
pains and sweilings in my legs and
feet and catching pains in lay hips
and the small of my back. lost sleep
To tell you the truth | was in mighty
bad shape, and nothing in the way of
medicine seemed to do me much good
my kidneys bothered me a great
deal and my whole system seemed to
be filled with uric acid poison. For a
while | had little control over my kid
neys and this bothered me a great
deal Like everybody else, | got to
reading about Tanlac and decided to
give it a trial. | can understand now
why everybody is praising this medi-
cine, for it helped me right from the
start. The pains in my side have left
me entirely and | now have control
over my kidneys. The swellings have
all gone down and l feel like a new
man in every way.
Eyes, sir, this Tanlac just filled me
with new life and energy and | feel
more like myself than in months.
Everyone has noticed the wonderful
improvement in my condition, and l
am only too glad to say a good word
for Tanlac. | had taken medicines
