FINDS CREAM PROFITABLE.
Charles Burnett Finds Ready Market
 for His Entire Output.

Charles Burnett, in from Board Camp Tuesday reports a new ven- ture in the dairy business which he finds exceedingly profitable. He has been shipping cream to Watson X Aven in Fort Smith since the latter part of July. He maks two ship ments week, five gallons each time. For the first month his cream cheeks amounted to S53. and this represented the product of eight cows. In addition, Mir. Burnett says. the cows furnished cream, butter land milk for the needs of family of eight. He hopes to see this industry developed in his neighborhoood so that the expense of transporting the cream to the shipping point may be decreased by arranging to have one man make the trip for all. With cooperation he thinks this could be done quickly and easily by using a motor truck.

SAVING SWEET POTATOES.
J. II. WeIter Tells of Method That
 He Finds Successful.

J H. Welter of Eagleton, while in Mena recently, brought with him sweet potatoes kept over from his last year crop, that were in a per feet state of preservation. As it is simple, inexpensive and easily used in most farm homes, The Star gladly passes it on. Here it is.
 Dig the potatoes, break off all roots, at all times handling with eare to avoid bruises. Spread in loft of house from to 8 inches deep and leave until they wilt. Then wrap each in paper and pack in bar rels, boxes or bins, lining the re- ceptacles with paper and leave in the loft. Do not cover the tops of the boxes, etc. The same fire that keeps the house warm in the living apartments, will, if the house is ordinally we'll built, keep the pota- toes from freezing in winter and they will keep in summer without being disturbed. The largest should be used first.
 After the potatoes are packed in the receptacles they will go thru a sweat and will remain sound and good.
 Mr Welter says he has kept sweet potatoes in his home in the manner described for ten successive years. and out of an average of from 40 to 50 bushels will not lose more than a peck.
 With the increased value of food stuffs, and the recognized food value of sweet potatoes, any method that will make it easy to preserve them in the home is worth much.

FREE SPEECH. By F. W. Barber.

There is at the base Of most of the disloyalty evidenced in this country, one af tltc basW principles upon whkh this government was founded -freedem of speech The trouble, however, lies not with ths principle itself so much Us with its erroneous application.
 First we must realize, which many of our malcontents have not, that there can be no such 3 thing as ab- solute free speech. Theories and honest views as to the experiency or justice of proposed laws are per- fectly proper BEFORE the enact ment of such laws. The undisputed right of the majority to rule impos- es upon the minority, after it's en- aciment, the duty of absolute obedi- ence. Any other view of the matter tends to the destruction of the very fabric of free government.
 In times of peace and quietness this view of the citizens duty to government has always been Iiber- |ally construed, and much really reasonable criticism has been DIV over and condoned. From this lem iency there has arisen in the minds .of many minimizing persons an idea that the right to express ones thoughts, no matter how treason able those thoughts may be, is one of the inalienable rights of free men. 4 little sober reflection will show the fallacy of such reasoning. We have laws against murder, arson. rape, and many other crimes. Would any dare raise their voice against obedience to these laws? How long would such a person remain at large?
 But these, you may say are yital- ly necessary Granted. but we will go further.
 Taxes are levied, and all are re- quired to pay. Have you the right t0 cousel resistance to the tax col lector or throw obstacles in his way? You may not approve of the particular law under which the tax es are levied and collected. You have a perfect right to seek to have that jaw repealed. but NO right to seek to nullify it. It is the will of the majority and as such must stand until repealed by a majority.
 While the selective draft law was pending in Congress every Ameri- can citizen had right to raise his voice against it if he felt so in- lclined But AFTER ifs passage NO person has the right to counsel or practice resistance to it.
 The rule is absolute. It's enforce ment has moi always been strict: but this. as we have stated, was due to undue lenieney when the urge of public safety did not demand strict measures, Now. however, public safety DEMANDS IMPLICIT OBED- IENCE to the laws of the land. and every loyal citizen will throw the whole weight of his influence in the scale on the side of law and public security.
 To do otherwise is to betray the government that harbors and pro- tects vou.
