PREPARING FOR WAR NOW
The First of the Many Armed Ameri-

Reaches Europe
Special.

Ledger Special.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 90
The first move toward the inevi-
table, the war between Germany
and the United States, which has
directly affected the people of
Missouri, came today when the
First and Third Regiments of
Missouri National Guard were
ordered out.
The National Guard of twen-
ty-seven other states have re-
ceived similar orders. Details
of other steps contemplated by
the Federal Government yet to
be taken are held in the closest
confidence. Arrangements
have been made by the Govern
ment with the great news agen-
cies of this country regarding
censorship and in the future lit
tie of what is being done to place
this country in preparation for
the coming conflict will receive
publicity.
Word was received today that
the first armed American mer-
chairman to sail from this coun-
try since the ruling regarding
the arming of vessels against
submarine attack took effect,
has arrived in Europe. German
papers say the kaiser will de-
clare war on learning of one of
these ships firing at a sub-sea
fighter.
Contracts for twenty-four new
35-knot destroyers were awarded
Saturday by the Navy Depart
ment. All will be built on the
basis of cost plus 10 per cent
profit.

peace is so near that the world
cannot see it because of its prox-
unity" said Don Levine, foreign
editor of the New York Tribune.
Central Powers through revolu-
ton or the desertion of Prussia
by Austria-H Hungary and South
Germany are two probable de-
v~elopments in the international
situation of the next few weeks.
Either of the two would pave a
way for peace. Both aresthe re-
suits of the colossal Russian

Mexico Man Planning to Gather Re-
fuse Without Cost

The citizens of Mexico who have
found the disposal of their garbage,
especially in the summer, a problem
somewhat difficult 20 solve, will be
glad to learn a move is on foot to col
lect this garbage free of cost.
The gentleman behind the plan, at
present, desires his identity to remain
unannounced. He expects to start a
weekly collection soon and all he asks
that your garbage be placed in a can
where it will be convenient for the col
lector. To make the plan sanitary,
you should have a cover over the re-
ceptical at all times.

tendent of Schools Uel W. Lamkin
calls upon boards of education and

He further urges the annual school
April 8, to provide for a flag

the State should raise the nations

en- equal participants in government
and its dignities. Other states are
contemplatively regarding the Arkan-
sas precedent. The SANDHILL CIT
IZEN of Southern Pines, North Car
DINA, says editorially:
Arkansas has found a rather
unique way to bestow practical suf-
frage upon its women while withhold
ing real suffrage. 1t has enacted a
law allowing women to vote in all pri-
mary elections. At first glance
doesn't seem to matter much, but
wait. In Arkansas as in most south
ern states elections really are settled
at the primaries and the election is
simply a ratification Of the doings
of the primaries, owing to the fact
that to all intents and purposes there
is but one political party in the
State"
Three Submissions.
This is a banner year for the suf-
frage cause. "One state doth tread
upon another's heels, SO fast they fol-
low" in giving votes to women, and
also submitting the question to vot-
ers.
Maine will lead the procession by
voting on the matter in September
and New York also; Oklahoma will
present a constitutional amendment
at the polls in August of 1918, the
date of the next primary election.

REFERRING to those who have the

ferring to some of those who are be-

'The big head" is a popular way of

quent ailment. 1t arises from various
sources, but the real foundation is a
lack of sense. A little money devel-
ops it in some people; a few good
clothes gives it to others; a little Of
flee, where a chance is given to ex-
ercise a little authority, is often the
cause of it, while others get it having
a little better job than their associ-
