IF THEY'D ONLY HEED

The Juneau papers like the Fair banks papers have reached a point that they cannot publish an issue unless they pick" at one another. OF course, 1t is no skin off our nose; and for that reason this advice is free. Nevertheless, we believe 1t would b much more edify- ing were they to ignore one another instead of cultivating that nasty habit of nagging. What interest can the general public have in their personal differences, political or otherwise? None, and if the pub lie is interested at all, it can only serve to create more factions.

STARS AND STRIPES FLOAT
 FROM WINDOWS IN LONDON
Steady Stream of Yankees at Embassy Ask to Serve In
 United States Army.

The Stars and Stripes float from scores of fagpoles in London and are intertwlned with the flags of the allies in some of the most prominent clubs, hotels and business houses, says the New York World.
 A great American mass meeting was held in Queens hall, at which resolu- tons were adopted to indicate to Pres ident Wilson the undivided support of all Americans In that country. Ambas- sador Page was present
 There was continuous stream of American soldiers in the British army at the embassy to make known their desire to join any American expedi- tionary force which may be sent. Nearly 200 have registered already, and their names have been forwarded to Washington. About 5000 Ameri- cans are in the Canadian contingent and large but as yet unknown num- Der in the British ranks.
 The extent to which the Americans there are cooperating with the allies was indicated by the enormous contri- button which Lady Arthur Paget (who was Miss Mary Stevens of New York has raised for the allies during the war. She said:
 q have been able to raise Sl,2O0,OOO during the war. The American women will still continue tO maintain their two hospitals here. have cabled to Presi- dent Wilson and Senator Root express ing my feelings about the entry of America into the war. It was a mag, niicent decisiOn.h

wheat shortage can be made up. 9th CT food crops must be grown to meet the deficiency"
 The allies, for the present, must wield the sword. The duty of Am ericans is to use the plowshare. h. stead of literally converting it into a sword, they must do So fig uratiYely. Just now 1t is the great weapon of this worlds war.

THE COMMON CAUSE

Much talk is heard of what Am ericaRs are doing for the allies. The leans we are making them, the food stuffs We are sending them, all these things figure much in print and discussions.
 BuA why not consider the shoe on the other foot? What are the allies doing for the United States?
 They are bearing the brunt of the war which is now this cOuntry's war as well as of England and France and Russia and Italy. Their men and boys are giving their lives on the battle fields that have scared Northern France.
 They are fighting the war in which the United States has now for a month had common cause with them. The outcome is just as vital 70 tr's country as it is to the allies.
 True, the United States is raising an army to send Q the front. But it will be months before this force can he mobiIized and trained and then transported. It will be late in the fall at the earliest before the American flag can be effectively cal- ried against the German lines.
 The great demand now and for the months that will end with this seasons harvesf, is for production of food. What has been done in the way of supplying food must be done in much greater measure from now OF. The patriotism of produc- ing must, for the present, be para mount. And, accompanying produc- tior. there mpst be self-denial and economy.
 Not only must the wants of the Uuite7 States be provided for but the wants of the allies as well. The situation is critical. To meet ft organized and intelligent effort, exerted to the utmost, will be required.
 Note this summary on the wheat suUDly and warning contained in a circular letter sent out by the Na- tionaI City Bank of New York:
 "All of Europe-neutral as well as warning cOuntries- has been placed upon food rations to eke out supplies until the new crop is har- vested. This country entered the present crop year, last July, with 164,OO0,OOO bushels of wheat car ried over from the crop of 1915, and n 1916 produced 4S2,OOO,OOO bushels of winter wheat and 15S,- 100000 bushels of spring wheat; tcfal supply, SO4,OOO,OO bushels. This year there will be practically no wheat carried over and the governments estimate upon the winter crop forecasts a yield of only 43O,OOO,OOO bushels. On this basis the spring wheat crop must De 214,OOO,OOO larger than last year in order to give us wheat supply equal to what we will export and consume in the crop year now clos ing. This is an alarming out look. The spring wheat crop Is no toriously subject to weather con ditions. More spring wheat should be sown, but it is doubtful if the

COTTON SHIPPERS MUST
 FILL CARS TO CAPACITY

With the movement of the cotton crop scheduled to begin this fall at a time when combination of gov ernment and commercial business will be bringing tremendous pressure to bear upon the railroads, the Con- mission on Car Service of the Rail- roads War Board has issued in- structions prohibiting the shipping of cotton in less than 65 bales per car and requiring as many more to be loaded as the size of the car furnished will permit
 Notice to this effect has just been sent to buyers of cotton, with re- quest that they place orders for their requirements on basis of not less than 65 bales or multiples thereof.
 Tn the Southwest and Mississippi delta districts. the average car will load So bales and in the Southeast district the average car will load 70 bales. Consequently buyers are asked to order in multiples of 65 from the Southwest and 75 from the Southeast districts.
 The New England territory will be taxed to the maximum capacity of facilities this fall and the acceptance of freight by the railroads serving the territory north of the Ohio and Po- tomas rivers will have to be carefully regulated.

 Arkansas buys most of her horses and mules from the north Because of the war the saleable animals in the north have been bought up and we will soon find, when trying to replace the draft stock now in use in the state, that it will be almost Impossible to find good mules or horses, regardless of the price that we can and may be willing to pay. If we are to make corn or cotton we must have draft animals and the surest way TOT us to avoid disap- pointment and a probable loss of time and money is to attempt to breed and grow our own draft stock. Arkansas should have more mares The northern part of the state with it's possibilities for pasture could produce such animals most econom- ically while even cotton farmers could well afford to have few mares on their farms for this pur- pose. We have recognized the value Of growing our own pork. Beef animals are being introduced rapidly. We must now give some attention to the production of our draft stock.
