Stopping the War

Some over enthusiastic paci- fists, some socialists, some plain cranks and some pro Germans among us want to stop the war. They want peace. They want, or profess to want, the status quo restored, regardless of the eff feet of such a peace upon the people of the small nations chief ly concerned, and regardless of future complications. There are few representative of labor in America among this element. Labor's attitude toward the war is aptly expressed by Samuel Gompers, president of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, who said: Hating war as l do, l am free to confess that if 1 could stop this war now by a turn of my hand, I would not do It. l hold that something must be de termined by this war, and some thing is, whether the future be- longs to the autocracy and mili- tarism or to democracy, liberty and humanity. Tbese are the points at issue and they have not yet been determined" <" Mir. l Gomper's view should be that of every American. Now that we are in this desperate, bloody business, let us go on to the knock out" The only way to settle question is to settle it rightly, and the only way to end the war is by defeating Germany. Any other settlement would be a German victory, no matter ln what fine words or pledges 1t might be clothed. Beaumont Enterprise.
 The cry of stopping the war is something that we have got to fight agalnst in this country and we have got to fight it hard. Ger. man agents are going to urge that the war should come to an end at once and that there shall be no 'indemnities or annexa- ations." We are beginning tC realize this more and more as we see the workings of the German propagandists in Russia, and the

Let Arkansas Seed Heeself

Mir. Farmer, do you realize that no greater mistake could be made than to wait and follow the old practice of depending upon seed wheat and seed oats from sources outside of the state. Ii you have cut your oats for hay and saved no seed, get busy Farmers in every county must save plenty of wheat and oats for seed and if they haven't it, il will be well to secure it from 8 neighbor as soon as possible. A greater acreage of wheat, rye and winter oats will probably be planted this fall than ever be- fore Certainly it is to be pre- ferred that all fields should be planted from seed grown under southern conditions. Seed local ly grown and from variety which has made good" is cer- tainly preferable to an unknown supply.

Do Not Crowd Hogs in Shipping

All classes of hogs are bring ing good money but some far mers are crowding their animals too much in shipping. It will pay to give even the scrubs more careful attention. Remember, over-crowding and over heating may mean few dead ones" up- on arrival at the stock yards. These must be saved. There Is no excuse for careless handling and shipping. Be sure to insist upon plenty of water on the pigs and under them.

Ladies of Carlisle And Vicinity

Our Presidents call to the far mers and their families for the raising of food has met with hearty response. The number of women who are raising gardens and enrolled in Home Demon stration Work is greater than ever before In every part of the county the women are anxious for instruction in the canning and drying of fruits and vegeta- bles, The work has grown since the Agricultural Preparedness Campaign to such size that it is not possible for the County Home Demonstration Agent to handle it alone.
 It is suggested by the State Agents that the County Agents hold Special Demonstration schools which two or more wom- en from various sections of the county will attend. These wom- en will return to their home community tor where needed) to teach the women there. The meetings will be held at the school house or some convenient place for the women to gather. Homemade canners or manu- factured canners may be used according to :.whatever is availa- ble in the community.
 Doubtless this will require much sacrifice on the part o1 those women who attend the special school for the purpose oi going over to teach the others It will tr ruly be an act of patriot ism for serving your country 1T this time of necessity for con serving food is as great and no ble assistance as enlistment 1T

ENTRANCE OF AMERICAN SOL
DIERS INTO ACTUAL WARFARE
IS APPLAUDED.

London, Oct. 29.-The entrance OF
Units of the American army into
active service on the western front
although overshadowed as news
item by the Austro-German invasion
of Italy, receives prominent notice in
the newspapers as a much more than
picturesque event. The Daily News
says:
at would be idle presumably to ex.
pect Germany in the intoxication of
her Italian victory to appreciate its
full meaning. This does not alter the
facts, either immediate or prospect
i've. Germany has called in the new
world to redress the balance Of the
old. The balance will be redressed.'
The Daily Express, remarktng on
American energy says, it BODIES ii!
for Germany and gives added Ger.
tainty that victory, however delayed,
is assured. 1t warns that this does
not justify a relaxation of British ef-
forts. The Graphic, says:
"The descendants of the embattled
farmers Of Concord have fred shot
which like that of the minute-men,
will be heard around the world. The
advent of the United States should
have steadying influence in view Of
the blow at Italy and should be re.
called whenever there is tendency
toward pessimism.
