GOVERNOR BR0UCH
 ISSUES APPEAL
Arkansas Must Do Her Share In Producing Food
 and Feed.

War is here. Every man, wom- an, boy and girl should do perso- nal service for our country. The soldier who faces the enemy does heroic service for his country. The private citizen who produces food or feed performs an equally nec- essary service for our countryand our country's allies.
 An army travels on it's bel ly." To win final victory and to establish throughout Europe gov ernment by the people instead of by autocrats, the soldiers of the United States and our allies in Europe must be fully fed. The people not in the armies must be amptly nourished in order to do their work efficiently. I he United States will have to raise this year the food and feed for this nation and for the soldiers and civilians in the countries of Europe that are fighting with us.
 Arkansas must and will do her share in producing food feed. In the past we have been shipping each year from the West and in the north food and feed pro- ducts costing us $65, GOO, coo. It will be a wicked thing to make this draft this year on other states for food that will be most urgently needed by our armies and in Europe. It is our duty to our country to supply our own needs and 1t would be patriotic act to raise a surplus for our gov etnment's needs.
 1, Charles H. Brough, Cover nor of the state of Arkansas, therefore appeal to every inhabi- tant of working age in our state who owns or has control of any tract of land, small or large, to devote a reasonable part of it to the production of food.
Judsonia weekly advance., 1917-04-11

l appeal to the owners of large areas to produce at least all the food and feed needed by the peo- pie and animals on these tracts. l ask every landlord to arrange that each tenant on his proper ty be so influenced that the ten. ant will produce all the food and feed he will use for the year and that where necessary seed and needed implements are SUD- piled each tenant on reasonable conditions.
 I appeal to every man who op- crates farm to raise an abun- dant supply of food, and feed needed on the farm, and where practicable a surplus.
 ask every home maker who can secure the land to plant a garden sufficient to raise all the vegetables needed by her family during the growing season and a surplus to can, dry and preserve for winter and spring needs.I 1 as- sure her that in doing this she will be serving her country equal ly with the soldier who goes to the trenches.
 1 urge a large increase on ev- cry farm of hogs and of crops that produce edible oils, as the world is short of meats and fats. I ask the housekeepers on the farms and where practicable in the towns and cities to increase the production of poultry andeggs

ROAD COMMISSIONERS
 MEET AND ORGANIZE
Organized With View of Making Preliminary
 Survey.

Little Rock, April 1.-The com mlssioners of the Little Rock Batesville road district met in the office of the State Highway Commission on Tuesday after noon and elected Eugene Cypert of Searcy, chairman; and T. J. Raney of Newark, as secretary. J. c. Goforth of Cabot, T. L.Ma- son of Bradford, and c. w. Con- nor of Little Rock, the other commissioners were present.
 The State Highway Depart ment was requested to make a preliminary survey of the route, and the commission adjourned until April Is, when the commis- sioners will again meet in Little Rock and make a trip over the proposed route. The district is 125 miles in length and it will probably take four days to make the trip. It is estimated that it will cost $500, 900 to build the road the commissioners have in mind.

prices" he said, "the purchasing power of the dollar has fallen 5 per cent and the railroads are in the position of be- ing compelled by law to accept pay ment for their service to the public in currency worth 45 cents on the dollar.
 Public's Chief Interest.
 "The publics greatest interest is in adequate transportation facilities and not so much in low rates. As to most commodities freight rates form very small proportion of their cost. Ex- cluding low grade commodities, the percentage of the freight rate to the cost is so slight as to offer no justifica- tion for any substantial increase in prices to the consumer. It may be stated with little fear of contradiction that the consumer seldom, if ever, profits from q lowering of freight rates
 "Extortionate charges are a thing of the past, and under the attempt to cut rates to their lowest possible figure the interest of the whole public in the character and standard of trSs Ssasporta- tion is subordinated to the interest of that part of the public only that profits by lower rates-that is to say, the ship liers aud their agents and not the gen ,'ral public the ultimate consumer"

Bay field County has a large
crew of men at work rebuilding
the Washburn-Bayf field road in
the vicinity of Pixies Quarry

Ashland High School Burns

The Ashland High School
erected few years ago at a
cost of $3.50, 900, and said to be
one of the finest high school
buildings in this part of the
state, was totally destroyed by
fire last evening at about II o.
clock.
The origin of the fire is un-
known but the building burned
rapidly, although it was built
of stone and brick construction.
The fire could be plainly seen
from this side of the bay and
hundreds of people remained up
to watch the blaze.
The loss of the high school
building is a keen blow to the
city OF Ashland but the build
ing will undoubtedly oe rebuilt
at the earliest possible time.

farmers having same to sell and
farmers wanting to buy, will
have sort of an information
bureau of help which will be OBJ
tainable.

work should communicate with
County Clerk Nels Oscar at the
earliest possible time so that

How Much is Liberty Worth to You

This is a question that every
American should ask him self or
herself. For generations we
have boasted of our love of
liberty. We have called our
country "the land Of free and
the home of the brave" " It has
been proved in other wars that
this was not a mere empty
boast by our fathers and our
forefathers. But the question
of how much is liberty worth
to this generation has not yet
been fully an wered.
It is going to be- answered
nobly by those who sci We under
the colors. Many of them will
.answer with their death. 1t is
going to be answered and
ans wered clearly by others who
serve their country as best
they may. 1t is going to be
answered by others still who,
unable to render personal SER
vice, have yet furnished their
Government the means to pro-
secute the war.
The number of subscribers
to the Liberty Loan Bonds is
going to be an index of the love
of liberty of the American
citizenry of to day. The list of
Liberty Loan Bend holders is
going to be directory of the
patriots Of America.
I'VE have conscriptt d tua
yourg men. Shall We be more
tender with our dolIars?"
