A ring ing declaration of war, with calm statement that we enter the strug- gle Co save and strengthen the insti- tutions upon which our state is built, would at once bring all the conflicting emotions of our people into patriotic unity.

But let us make war with our whole heart and with all .our strength because Germany wor- ships one God and we another, and because the lion and the lamb can not lie down together.

INFORMATION ABOUT FEDERAL LAND BANKS

 X War Bank.
 The American war food situation and Assistant Secretary of Agricul- ture Carl Nrooman's tour of the South and West bringing us a mes sage from President Wilson, must convince us that each individual as well as every class, should show pa- triotism by attention Co prepared ness; by doing a full share to fore stall in America the hunger calam- ity that has befallen Germany.
 The Federal Land Bank, by lower ing interest rates and arranging for long time loans, relieves the farmer of worry and thus sharpens his mind and speeds up his physical en- ergies. The local bankers can CO., operate with us--and we feel cer- tain they will-by cheerfully grant ing temporary assistance to the farmer whose obligations mature on a date earlier than can be reached by him thru his National Farm Loan Association. The farmer may need money for fertilizer, which would increase his crop yield; or for improved implements, or for an additional team which would all low him to widen his cultivated acreage; or he may need fencing so that he can get his herd of hogs on to grass; and by these means swell the total of food produced It is a patriotic act to help him and thus increase his output
 So far as information is in hands of this Federal Land Bank, the bankers, as a class, stand ready and willing to grant this help. Coop eration by our fellow bankers thru out the farming districts will be ap- preciated by us, and would prove their patriotism to all observers in most convincing manner. In the meantime the Federal Land Bank of lSt. Louis has reached the point of approved forms for carrying on tine business, and it only remains to have them printed and distributed when the appraisers for this bank will De engaged in visits to Farm Loan As sociations for the purpose of final approval of loans.

RAISE GUARD TO 6OO,OOO.
New Enlistment Plan Authorized by
 War Department.

Washington, April li.--Secretary Baker today approved decision of the judge advocate general which foreshadows raising the strength of the national guard to 600,000 men on a war footing.
 The state has the right to organize national guard units in addition to the present units, according to the decision telegraphed to several gov ernors by Secretary Baker today
 With the decision, however, Sec retary Baker urged that no offer be made to organize such units until existing units have been brought up to peace strength. The decision was counter to a recent order of the War Department against ere atiOn of new units.
 With the decision went notice that no units will be accepted unless they reach at least a peace strength of sixty a company. The department is desir0us, however, that all units shall have 100 per company strength and will soon authorize raising that to i50 per company.
 Following are the states which have applied for authorization to organize new units of the national guard:
 Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, Yer mont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, District of Columbia, Maryland, North Carolina, Florida, Iowa, South Dakota, Mis- souri Nebraska, Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Utah and Washington,

MENA BOYS WANT COMPANY.
Finding Obstacles, However, to.
 Forming Company Here.

The efforts to organize a company here of the Arkansas National Guard has not as yet been successful. The main trouble being that Arkansas is short on men in companies in the two regiments already organized and that there are enough companies, until another regiment is organized. The boys have the assurance of Governor Brough that they will be notified as soon as there is an open ing for a company, which is expect cd as soon as Congress reaches the matter of more regiments for Ar kansas. It is the desire of the boys here to enlist as a unit, but if this fails, there will he a number who will enlist in other companies It is believed that there will be no trouble in finding enough men to form a company.
