At the last session of the State
Council of Defense a letter was
read from W. Nee. Blair of
Washington, Director of the
Four Minute Men, relative to
plans for reaching more people
with the truth about the war. He
sal that in his opinion "one of
the principal reasons for Id K of
enthusiasm at the present time
in some quarters is the fact that
a great many people in the coun

will be brought home to them

GOING DOWN 5000 FEET.

Work on the Batavia oil well viii
proceed at once and continue until
oil is reached, or at least until the
5000 foot depth is reached.
This enterprise is purely local now,
and has cost those backing it locally,
quite a large sum of money; but they
seem bent on giving the we'll a fair
test. They do not feel that this can
be done short of 5000 feet They have
leases now on over 3i00 acres and a
strike of oil or gas either would make
all shareholders a fortune There are
only GA shares in all, and at the meet
ing held Tuesday it was agreed that
ten shares recently acquired from C.,
Z. Sarber will be sold to our people
who act quick at an unusually low
price, same to share equally with those
who started at the surface, whose
shares have cost them many times
what one of these ten shares will cost.
Certainly the striking of oil or gas
either in this we'll would form a basis
of one of the biggest boOms ever heard
of in North Arkansas.

ARKANSAS GIVES
8 TIMES QUOTA
Subscriptions TO the Red Cross Fund
Exceed 100000 and Are
Still Coming.

Arkansas could not have a better
advertisement than these words,
which the Associated Press sent the
length and breadth of the United
States in Washington dispatches,
which told of the nations response to
the Red Cross appeal for $lOO,OOOOOO:
Arkansas was among the states
which exceeded their quotas"
While the theoretical basis was 81
per capita for the whole country,
which would have made Arkansas
share. $l,5OO,OO0, the minimum allot-
ment fixed for this state was 100000,
il being assumed that the Centers of
population would give more largely
than regions with less density of pop
ulatiOn and less wealth. This mini.
mum of 100000 Arkansas has more
than trebled. Her contribution to the
organization that is to minister to our
soldiers and sailors and take relief to
our allies exceeds 100000.
Boone county has given $4,000 al.
ready, and her committee hope to
make it $4,000 before closing the lists.

AMERICAN TROOPS IN FRANCE.

A battalion Of American troops pa,

were greeted by wildly enthusiastic
crowds.
As the troops swung through the
streets, French grs pinned bouquets
and American flags on the soldiers

French soldiers on leave grasped the
hands of the Americans and marched
beside them.
Several times groups of shopgirls on
their way to work slipped through
the police lines and kissed the sol

SLACkERS NOW WINNERS.

Those valiant young Willies who de-
fled the government and refused to
register are now whining for mercy.
They are awaking to the painful fact
that the government was not bluffing,
and that in refusing to register they
signed their own Jail sentences.
They find no sympathy from the
rest Of the people, and when they
have completed their terms behind
the bars, and are then taken by the
nape Of the neck and kicked into the
trenches, loyal Americans will approve
with a grin from ear to ear

ONE DOLLAR VS. FOUR DOLLARS.


Fault finding and railing at con-
gress is not a pleasure to any editor
1t is a nuisanCe-it leaves a nasty
taste in the mouth. But there are
times when railing is not only a vir-
tue, but an absolute necessity if the
people are to be protected from petty
thieves and highway robber barons.
The retail price of potatoes is a fair
illustration of the results Of congress
siOnal Stacking.
Up in the potato districts of Wis
cOnsin farmers are reported to be re-
ceiving a dollar a bushel for their out
put, In Chicago, only a comparative.
ly few miles distant, the consumer is
paying four dollars a bushel.
Who gets the three dollars?
If there was ever a time in the his
tory of our country when the Ameri-
can people should rise up in their
might and demand congressional aC-
tion that time is RIGHT NOW.
RObber food barOns will suck the
blood Of the consumer just as long as
congress dallies and slacks and does
nothing, and with a few notable ex-
Ceptions the national law makers will
do absolutely nothing until they are
literally kicked to the point of per
forming their sworn duty.
Speed up the kicker!

Balloon Ascensions.

Two picturesque balloon asCensiOns
and parachute leaps were made by
N,ptain Reynolds, of Chicago, an aero

fearless flights were watched with an
interest and eagerness which always
marks such performances. One flight
was made shortly after noon and the
other at o'clock in both instances
an altitude of at least three thousand
feet must have been reached.

ONE HUNDRED THOU
SAND AIRPLANES.

The government is to have 100000
airplanes built and sent to France as
quickly as they can be constructed.
Our own men will pilot those planes
Many a fair young life will be sac
rifiCed in the clouds, but for every one
who falls to his death the lives of a
hundred will be saved in the trenches.
No saner or more far reaching plan
was ever devised by our government
than the sending of these 100000
planes to the French front With a
hundred thousand, or fifty thousand,
additional planes in the air the eyes
Of the German army will be blinded
while ours will still have light.
The rest will be but a matter of
time, strategy and nerve.
