REFLECTION
L. E. Guess Wants 10 be County
Clerk Of Crittenden Again,
Popular Man.

To the voters of Crittenden
/ County.
In my race for County Court
Clerk, | had hoped to be able to
leave the Office and see in person
all of the voters of the county in
order to present my claims, but
find that if | perform the
duties of the office and render
the service that the people
elected me to do, and also do the
additional work which these war
conditions have imposed upon
the office, it will be impossible
for me to be out of the office for
any considerable length of time.
AS you are aware, the nation
is in the midst of a terrible war,
and under recent Act of Congress
the nation is enlisting and equip.
ping a vast army of men for
service, and every county clerk S
office in the union has been
selected as a vital part of the
machinery for enllsting that
army. In obedience to the call
of the nation, have been almost
constantly engaged in making
out enlistment cards and copying
them, Tor " hich ! eceive 10 pa}
and it will probably take another
month to finish. Besi!e this, |
am required, during this moLta,
as commissioner, to make settle
ments with the Sheriff and
County Treasurer. At the same
time | must see to the prepare.
ton of the ballots and the pro-
per working of all of the election,
machinery for the coming pri'
mary. | mention these facts so
that the voters may see that
there never was a time when the
duties of the clerks Office were
greater, and that cannot very
well make house to house can.
vass of the county, and at the
same time, serve the people as
they have a right to expect me
to do, AS long as ! am clerk |
shall feel that my first duty ia to
the people. and that the work of
the tffice must be done even t.
the sacrifice of my personal in-
teres,s.
am receiving most encourag-
ing reports from all parts of the
county and | am mighty grateful
for the interest which these re-
ports indicate that my friends
are manifesting in my behalf.
In making this explanation, /
desire to renew my promise that
if reelected, | shall discharge
the duties of my office, and
serve every citizen Of the county,
regardless of condition or politics
and | believe that my past ser
vice has qualified me to render
you still even better service than
| have been able to do hereto
fore. On this pledge, | solicit
your support 10 the coming pri-
mary election.
Your friend.

FALSE ECONOMY IS THE REAL MENACE

from the certainty that they are on q
sound financial basis. The per capita
wealth of Americans today Is greater
than ever before greater than that Of
the people Of any nation at any time in
the past or in the present.
whether the war ends tomorrow or
whether it lasts indefinitely this much
is certain: The United States, having
possession of approximately 40 per
cent Of the worlds supply Of gold, the
greatest natural resources and geo
graphical isolation, is certain to suf-
fer less than any other nation in the
war or in the whole world.
'The nation has been advised to
economize on food. Economy means
the intelligent use without waste; 1t
does not call for self-denial. Economy
was recommended to stop the waste of
the 500, 900 worth Of food which
goes into the garbage pail each year.
The wave of patriotism sweeping over
the country should not seize upon par
simOnious economy as means Of ex-
preston. There is no need for people
to cease purchasing; there is need only
for the elimination of extravaganza
and waste. There is no reason what
ever for curtailment of the use Of
things ordinarily needed by people
there is need that everything be put
to use.
"As patriots, it is our duty to stop
the wasteage of food; as patriots 1t is
equally important that we do not stop
the ordinary purchasing on which the
business and the industry of the coun-
try are founded. Hysterical economy
is as much menace to the nation as is
prodigal waste.
Keep Faith, Advice.
Faith is the great need Of the peo-
pie today-faith in Providence to lend
might to our right, faith in nature to
respond bOuntifully to the wonderful
efforts Of our agriculturists to increase
the food supply to provide surplus
for our allies, and faith in our govern
ment which has taken hold of the prob
lens before 1t in way that demon
strates 1t is deserving Of our faith.

Armour, ito give message to the

BE strong in your faith that nature
will reward the efforts being made to
produce big crops and cooperate with

DON'T EAT any
OLD POTATOES
Millions Of Patriotic Citizens
Will Obey Edict to Insure y
Big New Crop.
OLD ONES NEEDED FOR SEED
Prominent Chicago Club Starts Move
ment Which Quickly Spreads to
All Parts Of country-Speeu-
Iators Hoardlnq Supply.

Chicago, m.-Several million pa
triotic citizens will eat no more old
potatoes until after July 1. They take
this method of helping to make as
large as possible the potato crop Of
the United States next harvest-a very
important matter. The Eat No POta-
toes" movement started a short time
ago with the Hamilton club. one Of
the leading political and social organ
izatiOns in the country, quickly was
taken up by other clubs and hotels
here, and soon was spreading out
over the nation in all directions.
Who started the movement? An
agricultural expert of international
reputation, Eugene II. Grubb, is the
man. He made public statement
In Chicago, saying: "If all the seed
potatoes in the United States were
planted. this spring they would not pro-
duce sufficient crop to meet the
needs of the country" That was an
ominous statement but Carl Vrooman,
assistant secretary of >agriculture,
backed 1t with this:
Needed for Seed.
'There are several things I wish to
urge upon the American people for
the sake of economy and as a patriotic
duty. First, don't eat any old pota-
toes. We need them for seed pota-
toes. Buy new ones, If you can afford
them, or use rice or something else as
a substitute" -.
That settled it. Hamilton clubmen
formed committee which began work
by taking potatoes of the club restau-
rant menu. Other clubs in town were
asked to cooperate. Then clubs and
hotels and prominent individuals all
over the land were asked to ban the
potato and use their influence to keep
folks from eating old potatoes. The
replies came in flood, and they were
the right kind Of answers. too.
The Hamilton club committee also
started an Investigation in the Chicago
vegetable markets to see how many
potatoes were held here. Imagine
their surprise when they found certain
commission men and food spectators
in possession Of more than half a
million dollars worth Of the vegetable.
This supply had been bought up dur
ing the late winter and early spring
and the owners were planning a profit
of millions Of dollars.
And now the appeal has gone forth
to farmers: Don't sell your seed pota-
toes at any price,"
The potato planting season begins
very early in the South, but it does not
end until about the first of July in
northern Michigan, Minnesota and
Montana, which are important potato
states.
The American who wants to help
Uncle Sam win the war and who will
be delighted to get chance to trim
the food spectators, has his opportu-
nifty now: He should eat no old po-
tatoes until after the planting season.

FIFTH EPISODE

The Independent owners were enOr-
mously encouraged by their legal vic
tory over the Amalgamated. Some of
them believed the octopus had shot
its bolt, but these reckoned without
their obstinate host, Rupert Holmes.
While compelled to accept the ship
ments Of lumber offered by the inde-
pendents, Holmes and his myrmidons
succeeded in making things nightly
unpleasant for the customer. A pol
icy of obstruction was pursued. Where
hundred cars were ordered, only ten
would be Forthcoming. Where ten cars
were asked, one would be furnished.
This premeditated delay of shipments
brought prompt protests from ship
pers.
Threats of cancellation became fire.

mill men wanted lumber and not ex-

through the Vaccinations of the trust.
1t was in this crisis that Helen Daw-
son came once more to the rescue. She
had asked Clancy, the railway agent
at Jacksonville. for days leave of ab-
sence to make visit In Big Falls.
When she returned that evening she
sent for Michael Morrlsey, leading
spirit Of the Independents.

cars?" Helen asked.
