Germnn War Meihods.

From The Texarkanian,
 The enforced white slavery of Belgian and French women and girls by German soldiers--the rape of women before the eyes of par ents and husbands and then cutting of their breasts--the plunging of bayonets thru babes and the chop ping off of the hands and feet of children by those brutal flends-in accord with the monstrous German philosophy that might makes right --is enough to chill the blood and steel the heart of every man of ev- cry notion worthy of being called a man. In the face of such demonol- ogy the man who apologies for Germany or talks about peace be- fore these abominations are sup pressed and avenged is unworthy of living under any flag but the red flag of blood and debauchery.

FOLK COUNTY TEACHERS RANK
 HIGH. a

Editorial mention was made in The Star last week of the good standing of the Polk County teach CTS attending the institute in view of the fact that it was reported that out of the i20 teachers who were att tending. only three were holders of third grade licenses. At the time Superintendent ". Homer pigg had not fully checked up the standing of the teachers as to grade certifl- cates. He finds that out of the i20 teachers in attendance there were uiy ii who had not taught school, 5 were holders of third grade li- ccnses, 32 had second grade licenses, 5f had first grade licenses, t had Normal training certificates, : had state first grade certificates, were holders of professional certificates and one was the holder of straight state certificate. h addition to this good record, County Superintend- ent pigg points out ihat nine or more Polk county teachers are now away attending summer school, some at Hot Springs. others at Con- way and still others at the State University in Fayetteville.

FALL CROP OF IRISH POTATOES
Arkansas Experiment Station Has Free Circulars on Best Methods.

Can the farmer grow profitable fall crop of Irish potatoes? The ques- ton is answered in Arkansas Exper- iment Station Circular No. 30, writ ten by W. H. Wicks, Professor of Horticulture of the College of Agri- culture of the University of Arkan- sas, and 35,000 copies of this circu- lar have been printed and are ready for distribution. With the increased demand for more food products, every farmer who has any doubt in his mind concerning the advisability 'of planting late Irish potatoes should write for a copy of this cir- .eular. Some. of the best farmers in Arkansas say a profitable fall crop can be grown. The question is talk en up from every angle in the new and Professor Wicks dis cusses the question of seed and seed sources, preparation of the land, when to plant, how to plant, and how to cultivate as well as the best methods for harvesting and storing the crop. Every farmer should study this circular and determine whether he can make fall crop for himself or not. Remember, Irish potatoes are as valuable as any, thing that can be raised this year It will pay you to investigate at once.

MAY CANCEL RURAL ROUTES.

Announcement has been made semi officially, according to reports being published, that the postoillce Department, in looking for places to save money. is contemplating the discontinuance of a few thousand of the less appreciated mail routes, thus curtaiing expenses by several millions of dollars.
 The test it is proposed to apply to decide on the continuance or aban- donment of the routes, is it is said, the condition of the roads over which the carriers travel. Inspect ors, 1t is announced, will go thru the country within the next few months and examine all rural route roads Where road Is kept up in shape all the year around, and where ev- cry part of the road is as good as every other part, there is no quest ton that the route will be contin- ued- But where carriers have to make rounds over neglected roads that at times become impossible, this fact will be taken as evidence that the route is not appreciated
 The point made is that no road is better than it's worst point, just as m chain ie sfronunr than ifs Uaak- est link. One mudhole may ruin an otherwise good road and thus lose a maih route.
 The Postofiice Department, under it's present head. is very anxious to save money, and if this effort should result in looping of one or more of our rural routes, the farmers who have been having their mail delivr cred at their gates for years past will find it considerable hardship

ASK MUCH OF POLK COUNTY.

Our government has registered our young men In order that it may take the best for the army and navy, to fight our battles. It also has sold a great bond issue to the people, supplying funds funds sse pay fighting ex- penses. In addition it is proposed during the present week to raise si00.000,000 in the United States in Red Cross donations, $i.500,OO0 in Arkansas and s200OO in Polk county. This last movement seems to have She unqualified support of the high est authorities of the country, and it is the intent to conduct great -driye" to gain the object specified.

FRENCH EATING HORSES.

Paris, June 1.-The British army sends between 400 and 800 horses a week to Paris butchers to be slaugh- tered and put on xale in the horse meat markets. Xhs French army furnishes a smhnE number. The total makes such an important con- tribution to the feeding of Paris that the horse butchers are using it as an argument against the closing of their establishments two days a weak along with the other butchers. The result, they say. will be that a great many wounded horses that are now killed at the front, then shipped to Paris to be dressed and sold. will be buried on the spot without profit to anyone. Five thousand horses are slaughtered each month at the yaugirard stock yards.

ZAPATA NO LONGER A REBEL
With 10000 Followers, He Accepts
 Amnesty From Carranza

Fl Paso, June i4.--After being promised amnesty, Emiliano Zapata, commanding 10000 rebels, has sur rendered to the Carranza govern ment. This information was re- ceived tonight by United States gov ernment officials and American min ing companies from their agents in Mexico City. With the surrender of Zapata the backbone of the re- volts against the Carranza govern ment in the south is believed to have been broken. For more than twenty years Zapata has been a menace to the governments of Mexico.
 The Villa junta here states that the surrender of Zapata will have no effect on the operations of Francis co Villa.

T.R. PLEADS FOR RED CROSS.
Demands Americans Curtail Pleas
 ure So as to Give More.

Oyster Bay, June i9.-Theodore Roosevelt, in an address here last night in behalf of the Red Cross, de- nounced the sentiment abroad in the United states against fighting Enslands war
 Any man who hates England more than he loves the United States should be thrown from the country he said.
 The colonel demanded that Amer jeans curtail their pleasure for the period of the war and instead give the money they might use in such frivolities to the Red Cross or other relief work.
 Ours an Ignoble Safety"
 The colonel pointed to the lesson of war film the audience had seen earlier, saying: Such pictures as you have seen actually occurred in Europe. The only reason it has not happened to us since April 2, is be- cause of the British fleet and the British and French armies. Ours is an ignoble safety We will get vic tory this time because of our far sighted allies. Some future time, if we are not ready, we will go down in unpitied disaster.
 There actually have been Ameri- cans who recently have been saying. Why should we fight on the same side as England, our ancient foe? 1 would like to see any man here un- patriotic enough to say that at this time. Abraham Lincoln's rule holds good for nations. Where a nation is wrong, fearlessly oppose it; when it is right, stand by it..
 Shouldn't Hate England.
 Any man who hates England more than he loves the United States should be thrown from the country. A nation must be judged by it's conduct in any given crisis. An uhfriendly attitude against Eng land is as base and unjust as would be an individual grudge between two men becouse their great grand fathers fought. The sentiment is that of a traitor

Mere Love Alone Will Not
Produce Happy Marriages,
Asserts College Professor

II you and "the sweetest girl I'm the
world" have nothing more in common
than mere love- don't dare to get mar
rled, Is the advice of Prof. James II.
Cutler of Western Reserve university
Mt Cleveland
In Professor Cutters scientific opln-
ion something more than just love is
essential TO successful marriage.
The something more" Is the enjoy
ment n couple finds in working tOgeth-
er, in other words, the spirit of part
nership.
Make your wife partner, even in
business" the professor says. Its
much better to take your wife In part
nership in your business than to en-
ploy some other woman. And If you
don't think the girl whom you believe
you love would make a fit partner,
don't marry her.
There is no foundation for the be-
lief that women are not fitted to do
various kinds of work. Many men are
afraid TO have their wives earn money,
thinking it a reflection upon them
selves. But women must have inter
ests that will occupy their time. There
are not many divorces or desertionS
when this fact is recognized
The traditional home where the IA
ther was sort of patriarch and mas
ter OF the house has disappeared, ac-
cording TO the Western Reserve man.
1t was very acceptable while it last
ed, but modern social and industrial
conditions have made it impossible
The home of the future will be one
where the wife is installed as a full
partner in all undertakings.
