Patriots. 'If I were an American as
l am an Englishman." said one of the
great parliamentary leaders, while a
foreign troop remained in my country
1 would never lay down my arms 1t
was not the English people who were
seeking to suppress liberty in Amer
lea, but small body of court poll
ticians-an autocratic government
which misrepresented the people.
In 179S we found ourselves in a state
OF war with the French government.
This is not usually thought of as an
American war, since there was no
fighting except for few encounters
on the high seas. There was no dec
laration of war and it was all settled
winthin n few months. Yet the fact
is that a state of war actually eN-
listed. Here again we had no quarrel
with the French people, whom we ad-
miTed and loved for the help they had
given US during the Revolution. We
were really ut war with a little group
known as the Directory. who had
seized the government Of France and
misreprosentcd its PEOPLE.
In the War of 1872 with Great Brit
ain. the principal question at issue
concerned the freedom of American
ships AMI the rights Of American sail
ors on the high seas. For the most
part the American army was poorly
trained and equipped and had little
success. 1t redeemed itself, however,
at the Battle of New Orleans where
andrew jackson led the Western mill
tia to a well-earned victory. The Brit
ish government taciuy recognized the
soundness of the principle for which
the Americans fought.
The Mexican War.
Americas next war was with
Mexico. The Mexicans had not been
very careful of American rights
either in Mexico itself or along the
frontier, and the disagreement as
TO the ownership Of a certain large
strip of land along the Rio Grande
easily led to hostilities. In the war
that followed, the armies of Scott
and Taylor won victory after vic
tory against overwhelming odds
and eventually Mexico sued for
peace.
Less than generation later
came the great civil war. Never
was the fighting spirit of the citi-
zen-soIdier better shown than In
this unhappy and bitter struggle.
when Americans were spitted
against Americans. Both sides were
lighting for principles of govern
ment, the North for the principle
of union, the South for principle of
the right of States to secede from
that Union.
We entered the Spanish war TO
put an end to misrule in Cuba.
Again our quarrel was not with
the Spanish people, but with the
government. which was creating
conditions in Cuba that we could
not endure with self-respe, t.
Fighting for Principles.
The Americans are peculiarly a
peaCe-lOving people. They have no
taste for warfare and no lust for
territory or power. Yet within less
than $50 years we have entered six
important wars, the last and per-
haps the greatest of which is the
one just beginning against the Ger
man government.
In all our previous wars against
foreign powers the American peo-
pie have fought for principles, not
for wealth or power, just as they
are fighting today. They have
fought against governments, not
against peoples, just as they are
fighting today.

Our First War.

In their attitude they had the SYM
pathy of a great many Englishmen
who were broad enough to see that
the American colonists were really
fighting for the rights of all free peo-
pies. In the British Parliament Pitt
and Burke and other great English
men openly defended the American

This course should include a back
ward glance over the military history
of the United States. 1t is worth
while for the soldier to recall why
and how the men before US fought
for American principles and rights.
You are representing today the same
ideas and fighting for many of the
same things they fought for in 1776,
179S, 1872, 1916, and 1898.
In 1776 our forefathers refused any
longer to submit to the demands OF
tyrannical government and declared
themselves Independent. The farmers
and shOpkeepers and mechanics and
fishermen who rushed to arms at the
beginning of the Revolution did not at
first realize they were forming a new
nation. But before long they saw
clearly that In order to enjoy liberty
they must shake off the rule of the
autocratic government which had its
seat in London.

WILL DISTRIBUTE
 REGISTERED BULLS
IMPORTANT ACTION TAKEN BY MENA CATTLE ASSOCIATION TO ENCOURAGE CATTLE
 RAISING.

L. c. Finch, of 123 Barker street, Hot Springs, secretary of the Mena Cattle Association, writes Commits sioner Page as follows:
 After due deliberation and discus sing it among ourselves. the direc- tors of the Mena Cattle Association have decided to invest $S.000 in tick immune registered Hereford bulls, and distribute them free among the farmers Of each neighborhood through. out the district from which we buy cattle with the agreement that they give us first refusal of offspring 1t same price others will pay
 Exchanging the bulls widely every two years, making it neighborhood affair and allowing the keeper to make a nominal charge for his trou- ble, we believe it would profit us, al- so the farmer, and raise the grade of cattle ten times quicker than any other way"
 The plan has the approval of Com missioner Page, who is an earnest ad- yocate of raising the standard of Ar kansas live stock.

BIRD HOUSE
 BUILDING GAME
ALL BOYS AND GIRLS OF PULAS- RI COUNTY MAY ENTER CON. TEST WHICH CLOSES
 MARCH 3t.

All boys and girls in Pulaski coun- ty under II years of age are to he given an opportunity to take part in a bird house building contest which is to be conducted under the auspices of the Little Rock Public Library, the contest to end March 31st, at which time there will be an exhibit of en- tries, special exercises, and the award ing of prizes. The purpose of the contest is to stimulate an interest in birds and their protection, subject which is commanding more and more attention, because of the valne of the birds in destroying insects which do great damage to growing crops.
 Plans and information in regard to building bird houses may be secured at the library. Boys and girls in the rural districts are especially invited to take part in the contest. With tine cooperation of teachers and parents it is hoped that the number of en- tries will be greater than ever be- fore The large number of colored bird pictures which the library has ready to loan should increase interest in and knowledge of the subject of birds.
 A few suggestions for bird houses follow:
 First: Take into consideration proper dimensions and shape of the house, considering the roof, galler- ies, perehes, etc.
 Second: Proper dimensions, loca- tion. and shape of openings.
 Third: Neatness and taste, due re- gard being had for the expense of construction
 Fourth: Colors used in painting.
 Fifth: Material should not be too expensive to place it beyond general use.
 Sixth; The suitability and adapta. bility of birds to this climate.

The clearings on the uplands smoke,
 The valley huns with noise; The farmland shouts his merry joke
 At teasing girls and boys. The cattle browse outside the lot,
 Where new rail-cuts were made; The women in the garden plot
 Do work with hoe and spade. The old hen, clucking, calls her flock
 Of feathered youngsters round, And watches the old Georgia stock
 Turns worms up from the ground. The sun shines down just like I wish,
 I hear the hum of bees; I wonder if there ain't some fish
 Below the willow trees! Now Myrtle shouts the dinner call,
 There's laughter in her eye; All morning I've not worked at all,
 And she suspicious why. It's springtime in the hills again,
 The gladdest time of year; And soon we'll feel the old soft rain,
 That falls thus only here.

 The suckers come up the creek fer two or three weeks visit each year Many of them never return, but help supply the tables of the farmers. For supper Mrs. Roberts had fish and they were good and fresh. For breakfast she had fried ham and choice sor- ghum molasses. Who wouldn't envy the Arkansas farmer?

Girls Essay On Boys. By Ruth Richardson.

Bows is the queerest. smart aleckist specimens of human beings you ever saw. They haven't any of 'em get any sense but by beau. They poster us girls all the time. They put woolly worms all over us and just yell with delight when we scream and git afraid. Onc't Billy Winker, he don't like me cause I like my beau better'n him, put great big woolly worm on me and Gee Whiz' I couldn't keep from yelling. Say, hope my mother didn't hear me use that word. Do you ladies and gentlemen l believe my mother likes boys better'n girls cause Ted, my brother, uses that word and lots of others worser' than that and she don't whip him. It's just the same way with eyerythln else. She just picks on me all the time, but I should worry Such IS life.
 Here is another from New York City:
 There is no doubt but what the Pea

OUTPUT INCREASED
At Typo DISTRICT
GRADE OF ORE COMES
FROM LOUISIANA CON-
SOLIDATED

The Louisiana Consolidated Min
ing company is getting down into
it's stride and from this on the ship
ments will materially increase with a
still greater tonnage after the first
heavy rain settles the newly made
road leading from Tonopah to the
old camp, especially in the vicinity
of Typo. A good soaking rain will
mend the road better than any other
influence.
The company is employing rs men
and is doing good intensive devel-
opment work on both the 500 and
600 levels, where the ore is being
blocked out faster than it can be ex-
tracted. The shipments are going
out at the rate of 100 ions a week
and represent a better grade of ore
than has been shipped at any time
since the Louisiana company took
hold of the property.
The mine is free from water and
the pumps have no difficulty in hold
ing the workings free. This was the
greatest handicap the company had
to fight, but it was found that after
the 800 level with it's enormous
stretch of drifts and Slopes had been
freed it was an easy job to pull the
water from the shaft.-Bonanza.

OR|zABA MINE NOW
MAKING SHIPMENTS
GOOD GRADE OF ORE TAKEN
FROM 145-FOOT
LEVEL

One carload of high grade ore
has gone to the smelter from the
Orizaba mine, where the manage
ment has experienced SO much trou-
BILE from water in the shaft. This
ore was taken from a Wine sunk
SO feet west of the shaft from a
depth of 145 feet.
At this point the water is al
most negligible, demonstrating that
the flow comes from crevices local
to the shaft owing to the lime for
nation. The winZe Is in a little
tighter formation which excludes
water. The ore is coming from a
ledge between four and five feet in
width and is averaging $75 a ton.
The first carload was an Oxidized
ore, but the carload that is coming
out now is sulphide.
The tonnage Is secured in the
course of developing as the work
has not advanced sufficiently to
warrant stopping. The new stream
equipment is giving excellent salts
faction and the company has pro-
vided against interruption through
bad roads or delayed railroad trans
%pOrtation by installing tanks cap
able of holding $1,000 gallons of
crude oil. Twelve men are employ
