Germany Suffers Most.

London,- answer to ques- tious from the representative of the Associated Press concerning German submarine activities, Sir Edward Carson, first lord of the Admiralty, said:
 German statements are exag gerated, but no one suggests that submarine warfare does not cause very serious damage both to neutrals and belligerants. The losses, however, do not exceed d the estimates on which we have based our policy. and after the most careful consideration it is abundantly clear that German countries have suffered more from German methods than have belligerants.

two or three times day 1t doesn't hurt quite as much as 1t may to fork over your good mon ey to John D. for gasoline for the "Lizzies," but the transac- tion runs into money just the same, because very moderate armful of nubbins mounts up when the corn is worth S1 II per bushel right on the farm and a peck of oats is 19 cents. or about the price of gallon of gasoline. With ordinary hay worth $14 20 per ton, old "Bossy" can easily put away 50 cents worth every cold night, and with cotton seed worth $48.SO. balanced rations come very high indeed.
 According to the estimates of the department it now costs the Arkansas farmer six bits to kill a hen and 28 cents to scramble a dozen eggs every time the par son hitches at his gate for dinner. Potatoes worth more than a nick el a pound in the potato houses and the onions you see hanging up in the wellhouse represent the value of one thin dime apiece or one dollar per peck, including the bad ones. Even those old collards that used to be racked up in the corner of the garden and carelessly covered over With pine tops are set down by the department at the value of seven cents per pound. Turnips right in the kiln are figured at 10 cents the gallon, and turnip greens are beyond the comprehenSlon of the eStinatorS.
 The estimatOrs have made a pretty thorough job of it, and have set down about everything an Arkansas farmer would emu merate in a chattel mortgage, and when you add the farm value of these many items together you find that an Arkansas farm CT is worth d whole passel of money and is spending it with himself every time he turns around.

VigiIantes of Bone Dry Law
 Smash Dishes

Cotter, April 9.-The bone dry law cost pr. Walter Gray and Mrs. Gray of Cotter a trunkfull of new dishes yerterday, while they were en route from St. Louis to Cotter. Mrs. Gray was returning from Milwaukee and her husband met her at St. Louis to accompany her home. Taking advantage of a short layover in St. Louis, they purchased lot of fine chinaware and packed it in their trunk. At a transfer point the trunk was suspected of containing whiskey and was bounced up and down to see if a bottle would break and let the evidence leak out. But no evi dence leaked. The rough hand ling was disastrous to the dish es, however. The Grays got home with only five whole plates Ark. Gazette.

But the farmer of Arkansas probably does not feel the pinch so much as his city cousin, because the consumption of home-raise1 ] products by the farmers family at home has never equaled in

value the figures these products now represent in cash.
 For instance, the average Ar kansas farmer is ahead on the coal bill. When you figure out that the winter wood on Arkan- sas farms amounted to $7, 200, ,000 in value, or an average of 16 cords to the family, worth S2 per cord, 1t leaves him much better off than the man who has been up against the coal trust.

Use Cheap Source of
 Nitrogen Fertilizer

If you have felt the high price of certain fertilizer elements this year and are looking for a cheap source of nitrogen, make your plans for next year now by plant
 ing plenty of beans, peas, and peanuts this year. Remember that these legumes take nitrogen from the air and that it costs you nothing. These crops will also furnish an abundance of good feed for the livestock and the roots and stems which are left in the fields can be turned under to supply quantity of or ganic matter which practically all of the soils in Arkansas need.

Two More Witnesses

Pleasant Alexander Stoval, American Minister to
Switzerland arrives in Washington with the assurance
to Americans that Germany is beginning to crack;
that the economic strain is telling heavily upon her.
Considerably, Herr Won Tirpitz, former lord OF
the German admiralty, declares Hateful hour has ar
rived for Germany In place of his former arrogant
boasts that Germany could be starved into sub

rine is making only slow progress, but adds, that as
long sinks British shipping faster than it can be
replaced there doubt that it will ultimately bring
"per6dious Albion to terms.
1t was Won Trpitz who advocated submarine fright
ness" as the infable method of bring the enemy
to terms who advocated it when weighed against
the prospect of its bringing the power of the United
States into the lists against Prussia How different
are his words nowl How little they revea; what the
real bitterness of his disappointment must be-
He can derive no satisfaction from the fall of his
successor Won Capelle who committed to his own
policy. Unwittingly he adds the most Illuminating

Peace Rumor, viii Increase.

When the aeropanes begin to circle by the hundreds
over the German lines, when Uncle Sans boys begin
to get their college spirit into the fighting across the
ocean, and when greater inroads have been made into
the nsdious submarine evil we shall hear more peace
rumors than ever. And more of them than ever will
come from Germany-the source, just now. OF many OF
the rumors.
1t is then when America wants to make its greatest
strike for democracy. charge when the Germans
are haf-convinced that peace is desirable and when
they tired of fighting will be worth many charges
when their spirits dropping. Americas vgor
thrown into the decadent days of the war can count
heavily then And it can do much to bring about a
sudden end of the conflict, much to reduce the length
of the war from the four five years which some
people think it will the year which most people
hope it will run.
We are in the to give the Kaiser the punish

German people we hope of any desires they may have

domain, would have brought great re-
suits. The affair could have been
waged with the same intensity as a
political campaign. For instance,
Champ Clark and Senator Borah
could have made great progress in a
speaking campaign for the loan in
Indiana or Ohio. And Senator Knox
and Ralph Kitchin could have gone to
the Dakotas and Iowa, while Senators
Cummins and Underwood would have
made great hits in Utah or California.
And there is no denying that Senators
Hi Johnson and Simmons or Chamber
lain could have drawn great crowds
in Illinois and Missouri. And ]. Ham
Lewis and Senator Smoot would have
taken well anywhere, as would other
members of both Houses.
Besides the direct results in loan
subscriptions, 1t would have been a
great patriotic revival, such an affair
would have been, and a tremendous
spirit would have swept over the
country-that is the way 1t looks TO
some of the newspaper men on the
Hill who suggested 1t.
