There are many farms in the state of about so acres, on which are two abie-bodied men and yet ony 30 acres of these farms are under cultivation, whereas double this area could he brought under cultivation ana the farmers income increased greatly thereby It has been proven in this state, and in others, that farms winch require three or four horses to operate them make more money than those which require only one or two horses and it would seem that clearing more land is one of the easiest ways to enlarge the farm business, to increase the farm income and to make the farm itself more valuable"

GUY HIGH SCHOOL
 TO RISE FROM ASHES
Eventful Career is Not to be Ended by Destruction of Building
 by Fire.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 As it is the history of every nation to rise, flourish and decay, so it is with the history of every great insti- tuition. Many enterprises go through these stages without any noticeable interruptions, while others are pierc ed in their very blom by what the common herd term disaster and utter ruin. It has befallen the unhappy fate of the Guy high school to be overtaken in her prime by what seems an irretrievable loss. This great country high school which had it's beginning many years ago in the pioneer log schol house has had an eventful career She has made prog ress by leaps and bounds, the many excellent young men and young women who have gone out from her threshold bespeak the genuine spirit which has ever reigned supreme within her walls.
 Notwithstanding the fact that the shell, the building, of the Guy high schol was utterly destroyed by fire on December 13, 1916, the spirit of Guy high school still lives forever young. The school spirit lives in the hearts and minds of her boys and girls. It is true, they cherish the memory of the old building and her many teachers who have gone on before, still they have high hopes of seeing son new and better school which will offer to future genera tions advantages which were never dreamed of by her early benefci- aries.
 Not only is there a strong deter imitation on the part of the students of the Guy high school to decorate the ash-covered mound where the old building once shone as the morning star, with the most modern country high school in Arkansas, but it is the watchword of every man and woman in the Guy community

has been extended to the many boys and girls who are hungering and
 thirsting for knowledge, and the school continues to make progress As the churches and monasteries
 preserved the spirit of learning through the dark ages, so the spirit of the Guy high school is kept burn
 ing alive during this present epoch of interruption.
 The writer of this article, a student whom the Guy school has nurtured from infancy to manhood, expresses the sentiment of the Guy student
 body when he says it mourns the loss of the home of the school. Before closing this article we feel
 duty bound to mention the benefac tors of this great institution. We mention the following men who have made substantial contributions to
 the glory of the Guy high school. Prof. T. M. Norwood came first,
 and with his magnanimous spirit he set the minds of this people ablaze
 with school interest. We should like to specify the contributions made by his successors, but space does not
 permit, therefore we merely mention
 their names: J. Sim Utley, Grover c. Hardin, Ed Condray, J. W. Tubbs,
 Dr. Hunter, Mart Jennings, J. A.
 Batson, Thurman E. Rowlett, David A. Mcknight W. E. Beene and J. C..
 Gray, the present principal.

Those who, before the United States
remain neutral and postpone until
after the war the settlement OF diff
ercnces with bclligcrnt nations, will
have no difficulty in recognizing the
change in the situation caused by our
own nations entrance into the war.
Had we remained neutral we might
have been able to act us q mediator
and thus rendered an important SER
vice to the world In entering the
war, however, we surrendered that
opportunity and incurred the enmity
Of the central powers. A new situa-
ton, therefore, confronts us. We
must not only protect ourselves from
those who are now our enemies, but
we must find an opportunity for world
service in aiding to arrange per-
manent peace, built on justice, liberty
and democracy.
WE MUST WIN. Defeat is in
conccivable-it would be inGescriba-
bly, unfortunate if it were possible
We cannot allow any foreign nation to
determine the destiny of the United
States, especially a nation commit
ell, as Germany is, to arbitrary gov
crnment and militarism.
Neither can we afford to have our
allies ovcrcome-that would bring
upon us the disasters of defeat or the
burden of carrying on the war alcnc

CONSISTENCY OR DISLOYALTY,
WHICH?

There are Il few men in the COM
munity, as there are in every com
munity, who ARE loud and "mouthy"
in their criticism of President Wilson,
Congress and the whole war scheme
generally. The selective draft just
closed is autocratic, undcmocratic,
and outrageous, these critics say.
Now, what's the use or where is
the Good III such talk? Somc minis.
tiers even, who claim to see in this
war fulfillment of prophecy and IL
preparation of the world for the sec
ond coming of the Lord, are loudest
in condcmning the whole business.
Naturally, it would be supposed,
these ministers and others who take
this view would welcome the war
and be anxious TO promote its final
ity. If this war is to usher in the
promised Kingdom" why then, it is
a glorious and much to be desired
revolution to those who "look for His
appearing" Strange as t may seem,
men who believe this war such Il full
filment of prophecy are loudest in
their cditicism. To put it mildly such
a course is inconsistent, the result of
loose or biased thinking AT any
rate we are in the war, and in to
stay until either victory or defeat
brings peace, and it is bordering on
disloyalty to withhold hearty sup
port and any other course is ind-
rectly, at least, giving encourage
ment to the enemies of the flag. Ev-
cry man has right to his opinion
and the right of free expression of
the same, but antagonistic views
publicly expressed do harm and not
one particle of good, and should be
suppressed If American patriotism
does not prompt and compel acquies-
cence, prudence should compel silence
in this great crisis.

out what we agree is our duty to our
allies and to ourselves.
Our duty is to supply from our
surplus the needs of the allies. Their
chief pressing needs, we are inform
ed, are ships, money, food, munitions,
fuel and supplies. We are supplying
the money by billions. We are going
to build ships to the limit of our ca

tional conservation policy that there
may be food for them. We are fur
nishing all the munitions they want
beyond their own manufacturing ca
pacity. We will supply fuel if need
be.
Do they need soldiers, too?
Are the ranks of our allies so de-
plcted that it is our duty to rush to
Europe million unframed, unsea-
soned soldiers?
If the urgent need of our allies is
ships, more ships, and still moro
ships, TO haul provisions and supplies
will we have ships enough to rams
port also million American soldiers
and the food, supplies and munitions
they will need?
If it takes two years training and

And couldn't we furnish our allies
ships, more ships, and still more ships
with less strain if we trained our
boys right here in America and haul
ed food and supplies to them on rail
roads instead of in ships?

WHAT is AMERICAS DUTY?
(From Cincinnati Post.l

(From Cincinnati Post.)
Since this Republic has joined to
France, Great Britain and their allies
in the war on Prussianism, events have
moved with amazing swiftness.
We have taxed ourselves billions.
We have loaned our allies hundreds
of millions
We have taxed ourselves to build
one of the worlds greatest naves.
We have undertaken to feed, fl
nance, fuel, munition and supply our
allies.
We have taxed ourselves to provide
ships to transport all needed sup
plies and to overcome losses thru
U-boat ravages.
We will tax ourselves many hun
frcds of millions to build aircraft
and to train aviators, to HEP over
come the common enemy.
We have resorted to selecting for
military service our young manhood
to build up a great army.
All this seemed Unnecessary. The
people in general have approved the
war program of the president and
Congress thus far to "makc the world
safe for democracy"
Our fancied isolation is gone. Our
dream of universal peace is dissi-
pated. We are in the world war
and of it. We are an inseparable
part of Il war-mad world of nations.
We are an inseprable part of war
mad world of nations. And whether
we like it or not, the United States
is driven, for protection. to be-
come a strong, military nation.
We see now that until the world
tires of war and finds way to lasting
peace we must be strong enough to
keep America safe for democracy.
The people of this republic, we be-
lieve, are willing to make every ne
cessary sacrifice to accomplish Amer
ica's legitimate purpose IN this war.
We are not sure, however, that they
know just what this legitimate pur-
pose is. We are not sure that their
representatives, in charge of their
government, are entirely clear as to
just what we ought to do or how far
we ought to go.
So it might be well, at this stage

He said it was possible for man on

and 20 on the other side of the street
for ingredients to compound a drink
to suit his taste and drink it on the
side Of the street where liquor was
not sold. John Garland Pollard is re-
corded as saying: al hope the COM
mittee will not strike out the word
'dispensary.' In great many States
notably South Carolina, the dispen-
sary law is considered to be the prop
cr solution of the question. l had not
heard before that it did not work sat
isfactorily in Southampton. Ger
tainly, the difficulties as stated by the
gentleman from Southampton could
he covered by proper law on the
subject Inasmuch as the dispen-
sary law has in many localities in
this country proved effective, / hope
the committee will not take such nc
ton as will preclude the making of
such laws in Virginia in the future"

CLAIMS FOR MIR. 1.-THE
FLY IN THE OINTMENT.

"Since Mr.. Davis has been champ
iopning the cause of the farmers of
Virginia, more laws of wide reaching
benefit to agriculture have been plac-
ed on the statute books than in fifty
years preceding, while his opponents
living here all their lives nave done
nothing for the cause Of better ag-
riculture, or for farmers, or indeed
for the public bettermcnt.' -Southcrn
Planter for July.
This broad sweeping statement and
claim has decidedly bombastic polit
ical ring. No one would withhold
from Mr.. Davis any honor or praise
or claim justly due him for service
rendered But, didn't the Planter COW
or "a little too much territory" in it's
claims for its champion of agricul-
ture?
Too great claims of merit are worse
than too few. AT any rate this will
be the first information many of the
farmers have had that Mr.. Davis, 4
private citizen, was about the only
friend and champion they have had
''in court" for the preceding fifty
years." or since the war. Pity it is
that the Great Reformers entrance in
to the arena was so long delayed. If
we are not mistaken, Messrs. Ellyson
and Pollard and number of other
progressive gentlemen have along
with sour Henry" had the great ag-
ricultural interests of the state at
heart for Yeas, and we repeat, The
Planter spread out over too much
territory in its claims, which vii!
cause a broad smile to play over the
placid, strong faces of many farmer
who reads it.
The Planter didn't, however, tell
it all. Like Tie auctonecr who was
asked why he omitted to state that
the article he was Offering for sale
had one serious defect, replied that
his business was to sell. "Thc pur-
chaser must look out for HIMSELF
Here is the defect, ''thc fly in the
ointment" which the Planter did not
think its business to mention. When
the suppression of the liquor traffic in
Virginia was before the people for
settlement once for all, Mr.. Davis
took his stand against he great NOR
IL and religious forces of the State,
and voted "wct," and, so far us known
now has not changed his opinion. And
it is stated that the liquor forces, in
the State and out of it, are using their
money and influence to elect "a wet"
Governor of Virginia.

the best people of the State this ode
