HAVE STRONG GUARD.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 27.- Workmen are engaged in putting up strong and massive iron gates mark ing the entrance to the White House where heretofore the entrance to the White House gardens was al ways open. In addition it is stated a strong guard will be placed on duty to protect the President.
 The measures taken are regarded as of extreme significance and are affording material for considerable comment.
 No particular reason is assigned for the move which is being watched with considerable interest.

LONDON, March 1.-There is con- siderable difference of opinion as to the real meaning of the German re- treat upon the Ancre positions.
 It is believed by the British ex- perts that the German retirement is a tactical retreat, strength sav- ing maneuver" which is peceding a great German blow soon to be struck. The military experts in the evening papers lean to this view with wonderful unanimity.

Among the Farmers

The new U. s. Demonstration Agent, W. B. Farrar, and Can ming Club Demonstrator, Miss Atwood, were both in Brinkley at the wheat growing meeting on Wednesday afternoon, and were most pleased with the splendid interest shown at the meeting.
 Harrison Hampton, one of our clever farmer friends from Kee- vii, was in Brinkley Wednesday on business. He attended the wheat growers meeting but said: "I'll make the cane syrup for the others to use on their wheat cakes. :" He and his brother made and sold 800 gallons of fancy ribbon cane syrup last year They will have several hvndred gallons this year of ex- tra fancy which they expect to sell 75c per gal. They have lately added a splendid gasoline engine outfit to their farm equipment. Those Allendale farmers are always going ahead.
 The colored farmers at the meeting Wednesday attracted much favorable comment because of their progressive action in go- ing ahead and planning for growing wheat.

This year all records for food production and preservation have been broken. We have promise that next year we will see great CT production of wheat, corn, hay, hogs, cattle, potatoes and other food crops, and greater preservation and conservation of these than we have ever had before.
 Let us visit one another, using our neighbours experience as an object lesson in what can be done. Then we can produce our 'porridge" at home and our "birthright" will represent a clear profit and not have to be sold for a small pot of second class porridge.

Ex-Brinkley Citizen Writes
 From California.

One thing in the ARGUS of last week somewhat surprised me. Under the Thing for Brinkley Business Men to Think of," you state that Brinkley was as large nine years ago as now. We'll, 1 surmise if it were a peach tree, an apple or a rose bush and it did not do better than that you would dig it up as a cumberer of the ground-no good, cast it aside and appropriate something more profitable. But don't do that to poor old Brinkley. Let's give her another trial. Just call her attention to the fact that she occupies very unique position on this mundane sphere. She is some sixty-five or seventy miles from any big city, being near the same distance from Memphis on the east and Little Rock on the west. And then she has all the railroad facilities she needs to make her city of twenty-five thousand, yes, of fifty thousand, as to that. She is on nice little elevation above overflow, sur rounded by good farming lands, occupied, many of them, by en- terprising farmers. Just tell her of these things and insinuate that some of her. little sister cities like Hunter or Wheatley will get the bulge on her and leave her in the dumps and go on to largeness and greatness.
 Why, l think while l lived there twenty years ago, she put on City of the Second Class" clothes, claiming she had 2,500 inhabitants (and I doubt if she has ever been able to have so many.) Now as 1 say, don't discourage her, but just try to show her what she might and can do if she is but a mind to try.
 And there is another thing that surprised me. and that is about the road leading from Brinkley to Wheatley. I thought by this time it were par ex- cellent' and here you tell us it is bad. Why it seems to me that the two little cities would com- bine and if no other, turn out
 en masse" throw up an em- bankment of dirt. mud, chuncks and old logs till you had 1t above high water, then send up to the Jonesboro district and get rock and gravel enough to cover it five or six inches, and then cover this with crude oil and you would have a pretty good road. Just you try that and see if you are not proud of your efforts.
 And in your personals" see that my old friend, Col. York, is still a bachelor. Too bad too bad. Say Col. if you have not given up in despair just come out here in old-new California. will show you more old maids and charming widows than you have seen since you used to att tend the Teachers Institute.
 My sympathies were surely aroused for that Ford that went from Shiloh to Plumerville. known as the Tin Can Express. As it crossed White River. 2's miles from the ferry, it surely had to swim over, and then to think what dismal bottom it had to pull thru; but then it made pretty good time and made safe return to its stamp ing grounds. Sometimes the Fords do have serious times in their travels over the country. Why out here in California they get into as close places sometimes as automobiles. But they gen. erally get pulled out by wagons or autos, as they keep on pretty good terms with other vehicles.
 We are still having some pret- ty hot weather out here 102 de- I = -
