THOSE QUALIFIED TO
VOTE In ELECTION

To clear up an evident misunder-
standing as to those who are qualified
to vote in the special tax district
election on December 10th. County
Attorney r. Pope Geese cited the
law to The Journal last night, and
stated that only those who have paid
their poll taxes for 1915-1916, who
pay taxes on real estate, and who are
registration on the general regis
tration books are qualified to vote in
the election.
1t is stated that there are many
who are registered on the primary
books, and who are otherwise quail
fed to vote, but unless they register
on the general election bookA they
are ineligible to vote in the special
election to decide whether or not

DANGER IN OVER CONFIDENCE

In the absence of open opposition to the
forthcoming bond election for paving OF
the Barrancas road lies the real danger OF
its defeat.
Apparently everybody favors the project
and everybody seems confident 1t Will
carry by an overwhelming majority. But
there is some opposition-and 1t is active.
Secretly. but industriously, it is recruiting
its forces, which will vote solidly again the
bond issue
That's where the danger lies-the OPP
position will vote soiidly' and each oppo-
nent Of the plan will be qualified to vote.
On the other hand, those who favor
permanent, hard-surfaced road are over
confident They are certain the election
will carry and, because they can see no
opposition think it will be unnecessary for
them to vote, or to take the trouble to
qualify
Theirs will be sad awakening if on
election night it-develops that a mere hand
ful of determined obstructionists have de-
feated an important public Improvement
which the great ma Jority OF the taxpayers
want But that is what could easily hap
ren unless those who want the road ex-
mess their desire at the polls December
10th.
Tt will be much better to carry the cleo
ton BY a majority of 100 to / than to lose
it by single vote. A big majority is GER
tain If interest in the need for voting is
awakened, but defeatsis a possibility if in
terest remains dormant.
N Only freeholders ma vote and they must
have paid their personal taxes for 1915 and
1916 and be registered on the general regis
tration books.
Every property owner who has an in
terest in the development of Pensacola
owes~it 70 himself and to his community to
qualify for participation in the election and
: TO cast his ballot in favor of the bond issue

BACK, BACK TO THE LAND

A very serious phase OF the war was out
lined in a Washington dispatch to The
Journal published yesterday, in which the
potential shortage of farm labor was dis
cussed.
Here is a matter that goes to the very
root of the struggle. If men can not be
got to man the ,,rms efficiently then in
deed the Jig is 1.p Airplane programs,
shipping programs, army and navy pro-
grams and all other programs give place
before this major problem of raising food
enough in this country to keep the Allied
mill grinding.
And getting the necessary number of
men is rather more easily discussed than
accomplished, The country will be short
of man power some three million or more
when the ensuing farm season rolls around.
That is to say, such number of men will
actually have been severed from the COM
posite working body, and placed in the
service. Besides these, countless thousands
will have been diverted into industries di-
reetly connected with the war and it is an
ironic circumstance that the more men we
send abroad the more men will be drawn
into fields OF direct production for forces.
All of which means that agricultural re-
sources, speaking in terms of men, will
steadily diminish unless steps are taken
by the government to fill the ranks by
some effective method: Abroad, as is we'll
known, women have entered this field
Over here, however, such change of status
for women would, we fancy, be rather slow
coming, even though it would come at
some time.
There has been talk of CONSUMPTION for
farm work. And the experiment of work
ing boys on the farms for limited mum
Der of hours daily has not only been pro-
posed but in some sections actually tried
out. The experiment.; however, was not
entirely encouraging.
Congress will probably fight back and
forth over this ground d .~ing the coming
session until some, effective program is
worked out. For undoubtedly this is one
of the leading issues of the war, and will
be SO recognized at Washington.

ROMANCE IN FACTS

The sheer facts of this war constitute a
romance, and stir the imagination, without
any so-called playing up which is some
times necessary to arrest the attention of
the reader Take for example the recent
report made to Pa ament by Sir Eric
Geddes, First Lord of that rock ribbed in
stituton, the British Admiralty
''The North Sea is swept day and night
the British Navy" declared Sir Eric.
During recent month the mileage
steamed by H. M. battleships, cruisers and
destroyers alone amounted to 1000 900
ship miles in home waters. Besides this
there is the ceaseless patrol of the naval
auxiliary forces, amounting to we'll over
100000 ship miles in homewaters in the
same month"
He went on to say that since the be-
ginning of the war between 40 and so per
cent. of the German submarines commits
stoned and operating in the North Sea and
the Arctic Ocean have been sunk During
the last quarter, he declared, the enemy
lave lost as many submarines as during the
whole of 1916.
He then made this significant statement:
"The net reduction in tonnage in the last
four months is today 80 per cent less than
was anticipated in an estimate prepared
for the Cabinet early in JUL" Then this
assertion also significant: 1.-The output of
merchant tonnage for the first nine months
of 1917 is 123 per cent. higher than in the
corresponding period of last YET
These facts speak for themselves. And
their authenticity and the circumstances

CALOMEL SAL|VATES AND MAKES YOU SICK
Acts Like Dynamite On a Sluggish Liver and You Lose a

There's no reason why a person should take sickening, salivating call smel when 50 cents buys large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone-a perfect substitute for calomel.
 It's pleasant, vegetable liquid which will start your liver just as surely as calomel. but it doesn't make you sick and cannot salivate.
 Children and grown folks can take Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is perfectly harmless.
 Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is mercury and attacks your bones Take a dose of nasty ealomel today and you will feel weak, sick and lose Q days work. Take spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone instead and you will wake ID feeling great. No more biliousness, constipation, slug gishness, headache, coated tongue or sour stomach. Your druggist says if you don't find Dodson's Liver Tone acts better than horrible calomel your money is waiting for you.-Adv

WONDERFUL STUFF!
 LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS
Apply Few Drops Then Lift Corns or CaIIuseS Off With Fingers
 No Pain.

No humbugl Any corn, whether hard, soft or between the toes, will loosen risht gp and lift out, with out a particle of pain or soreness.
 This drug is called freezone and lis compound of ether discovered by a Cincinnati man.
 Ask at any drug store for a small bottle of freezone, which will cost but trifle, but is sufficient to rid ones feet of every corn or callus.
 Put a few drops directly upon any tender, aching corn or callus. ln- stantly the soreness disappears and shortly the corn or callus will loosen and can be lifted off with the fingers.
 This drug freezone doesn't eat out the corn or calluses but shrivels them without even irritating the surrounding skin.
 Just think No pain at all: no soreness or smarting when applying | il or afterwards If your druggist don't have freezone have him order it for you.-Adv

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS TO
 FARM AND HOME AGENTS

Harry F. Kapp and Miss Emma Archer, district agents for the CO., operative extension work in agricul- lure and home economies, arrived in Mena last week from Little Rock to meet with Charles c. Delaney and Miss Annie Woods, local agents for this line of work. The meeting was Tn the nature of a conference in which County Judge A. F Wear and County Superintendent w. Homer pigg had part, and the purpose was to outline the county agent project so that extension work thruout the district and state may be carried on along uniform lines.
 While specific work is outlined for the county agent to take up, there are general instructions which con- Ney definite idea to the public as to the purpose back of the entire extension work. the chief aim being that the county agents work should De directed along the lines of teach ing men how to do things for them selves rather than to do things for them. Thus, the general instruc- lions lay down the following rule:
 The county agent must not forget that he is teacher, and instruC- tor, not hired employee to do man. ual service. His province is to teach by demonstration not to do personal service for others. All terracing. vat building, cattle dipping, vaccina- tion and other demonstrations should be the sole purpose of teach ing others how these things should be done and show their merit
 The county agent is the agricul- tural leader in his county. He will be held responsible for results. All activities of the Extension Division in his county are to be conducted with his advice and consent. He will be under the general supervision of the Director of Extension and State Agent, but under the direct control of the District Agent, from whom he will receive specific in- structions and to whom he will be amendable for irregularities, in- fringement of regulations or laxity of duty"
