Clean Up And Paint Up

At the Arkansas Federation of Wom- ems Clubs, which met last November at Pine Bluff, it was decided to ask for a statewide cleanup" during the month of April, the cities and towns to select their own time, In accordance with the decision the governor has been asked to issue proclamation to that effect. and the Civic Committee calls upon all club women whether civic workers or otherwise, and, in towns where there are no clubs, the mayors, to see that their towns are put in a clean and sanitary condition and made as attractive as possible.
 Other states are having these state wide clean-ups and Arkansas should fall into line, we want to be at the top or near it in all good underta kings. By the time that the General Fedora May, 1918, our state must be clean. Remember there should be nothing un- | SlSHIly IO Uc ScGu lTOlu Guc Car WiIluOW or automobiles, if they come that way. By that time all the tin cans that are so plentiful along the railroad tracks and some of the roadsides should all be buried. We beg of you not to take them to the outskirts of the town and dump them on the railroad right of way, where they can be seen by every one that passes through the state. The papers speak of shortage of tin cans. May it continue until nothing but glass is used. As soon as the club women cross the line into Arkansas they will commence observing con- ditious in the state and we wish them to be such that when they return home they will report that Arka nsas has been greatly misrepresented..
 Let us all with one accord "Clean Up, Paint Up and Beautify."

 Chairman Civics, Arkansas Fedar- alton of Women's Clubs.

Letter from Congressman Tillman

My dear friend:-I do not expect you to go to the trouble of answering this letter, although l am always glad to hear from you. Following my custom 1 am keeping in close touch with the people at home, and am today writing you about a matter of supreme inn portance. We are, as you know, at war with foreign power and hostile preparations are going hurriedy for ward. It will require nine months or a year to get ready to fight. The President did all in his power to avoid trouble, but Germany, by her persist ant insults, by her repeated violations of international law, by ruthlessly mur- dering American men. women and child ren, placed Mr. Wilson in a position where he either had to fight or continue to submit. and he declined to choose the path of submission. Instead of bending the knee he rolled up his sleeves and barred his arms for battle. We may differ as to which course he should have taken but now since war is upon us it is our patriotic duty to strive as one man for an early victory. After lapse of one hundred and forty years we can now repay France for the money and men she furnished us in our fight for independ- ence. Let this be the last war and let it be followed by reduced armaments and world league to enforce ever lasting peace.
 The expenses of this undertaking should be paid in the main by people with swollen fortunes, by fortunate lega.ees with large inheritances, by intuition makers and by those possessed of large incomes.
 Deliver us, Oh Lord, from conscrip- ton, selective or otherwise, unless the volunteer system proves failure and then if the draft becomes imperative, take the oafers, the slackers, the idlers and let the student and he who pro- duces remain at home.
 Business men and farmers should en- courage the planting of every avail able acre, stressing food products. A few days ago beef on the hoof sold in Chicago for fifteen dollars per hun dred weight, and hogs seventeen dollars. During the war and for years afterwards farm products and the products of the shop and factory will be high, employment will be easily obtained, and the best times this coun- try has ever seen will prevail.
 Command when can serve you. 1 have the honor to be, your obedient servant and friend,
 John N. Tillman.

A Note of Warning

Many know that the Federal Govern ment is to assist all of the states in the building of good roads; the appropriation has been made and the last legislature took the required steps to get the benefits of this appropriation, and the share coming to Arkansas, amounts to great many thousand dollars; this is to be distributed among the counties of the state, each receiy- ing it's proportionate share, and this runs up to large sum for each of the seventy-ive counties in the state. The share coming to Carroll county runs into the thousands; now the ques- tion arises, Where will this money be used?"
 We are entitled to these benefits, but the writer is reliably informed that wires are already being pulled for the purpose of expending every dollar of this money in the Western District of Carroll county, and particularly upon the new road from Eureka Springs to the state line this road district has voted to sell bonds to the amount of 100000, approximately to build this particular road for the especial bene- fit of Eureka Springs, which is com mendable, and the bulk of the expense is being borne by those who are bene- tited, which is right; but now an effort is being made, and it looks as though it would succeed, to rob the rest of the tax payers of the county of their just share of the road money donated to us by the Federal Government;
 Practically all the money available for roads and bridges for years has been spent in the Western District or upon roads and bridges between Berry vile and Eureka Springs. Is it not about time that the people of the Eastern District, who pay the bulk of the taxes, who furnish large majority of the votes, ask that we receive some of the benefits for which we pay our taxes? This is given as warning to you people in the Eastern District, who are not getting what belongs to you. and as warning to those in the Vest ern District who are getting more than belongs to them.

THE AMERICAN VANDAI.

The other day we walked by par ticularly attractive suburban residence. The house was good and the broad avn showed both taste and care. Like pretty little girl in becoming Sunday-school dress, with her hair curled, the premises made you think pleasantly that somebody s affection was centered upon it. It was 50 attractive that we turned into the cross street in order to walk along the side of the grounds. A garage stood at the corner of the grounds abutting on an alley; and fairly in the mouth of the alley, unayoidably catching the eye of who- ever passed down the crdss street, lay heap of junk and offal, evidently thrown out from the garage and the house. The alley itself looked as though it might lead to a pigsty.
 That is strictly typical. The alley, of course, did not belong to the house. holder, and he did not care rap how it looked; so, with one hand he offered the passer-by rose, while with the other he hit him in the eye with an old 1 tin can.
 Perhaps such negligence is due to the pioneer spirit, to which Nature was just something to be subdued, as quick lY and untidily as possible, to human uses. But we have the habit of blan- ing everything disagreeable on the pioneer spirit, and the justification fol it seems pretty well played out.
 We do litter up the landscape abominably. It is national habit that ought to be broken. Cities anc towns should not only have ordinances forbidding unnecessary litter but enforce them. Anywhere you will find city spending a hundred thousand or miIlor to make beautiful park, and then Lol. erating all sorts of needless ugliness.

RESOLUTIONS PASSED
BY A BANKERS
ON THE FOOD CRISIS

We favor the enactment by con-
gress of an amendment of the Home
stead Laws 80 that during the war
the time spent by a homesteader In
farm labor shall count on his home
stead time. realizing that it is moro
important to nave labor performed on
farms than for men to sit tight on
their claims.
We favor universal selective con-
%scription Sc that the boy required on
the farm and who is trained In farm
work and produces the food to supply
the fighting forces at the front shall
be recognized az performing no less
Ia patriotic duty than the soldier or
sailor under arms.
There is a food shortage through
out tho world, and we pledge sup
port to worthy applicants for funds
with which to purchase seed. brood
animals and feed, and in general to
aid in agricultural pursuits.
In case of a labor shortage o har-
vesting the crop. we will do u ut
most to p%ursuade the governmental
agencies to lend the necessary as
%sistance. There appears to be GER
to the necessity of additional crop
production that labor will be made
available to assist in caring for the
crops through governmental agencies.
We recognize it as a patriotic duty
Of bankers, as we'll as others, who are
able, to support the government by
the purchase OF war bonds; these
bonds may be obtained through any
