THE MAN BE.
HIND The Pillow
His Fight Is as Important and Nee
essary as the Man Behind
The Gun

Never In the history Of this
country, or in the history of the
world for that matter has it been
so important for US to grow
something TO eat,
Mr.. Hoover who is the great.
est food expert in the world has
given US some startling figures,
of course figures are dry to the
average man; but figures will not
lie. We all know that liars vii
he some times; but when Mr.. Hoo,
yer gives US figures we know
that they are approximately cor
rect.
He tells us that there is but one
thing that can prevent a world famine.
That one thing is for the L. :. A., tc
grow the largest crop Of foods in her
history. We will be going some il We
beat some of our bumpa crops, out we
can de- 1t il We are oil wide awake and
up and doing from early to late.
Let every body do their bi, and we
will succeed. it is no time for slackers
on the farm. there is work for all.
there is part for all to play and no
one can play your part. We must win
tins war with the pIow share and II,
hoe II we win at all.
We must feed ourselves and our
allies, We NEST produce more animals
for food. We must not Kill our calves
and pigs but We must grow them TO be
hogs and 80 much waste. The same
pIInciple applies TO fowls and every
thing We grow. Grow them as large
as possible and they will feed more
people.
Every one must work, the man who
has no visible means Of support for
himself aud family will be declared a
vagrant by our conrts and made to go
10 work. The man whs does not work
Is 4 parasite praying on society, he is
sspping the very foundation Of our
national vitality, and should be put to
work at once.
We must prepare for sext winter 5
feed for both man hnd beast. so let US
grow everything in the way Of forage
that can be grown in TINS country.
Then We can winter our idle animals
on this. and feed the grain to the ami.
mails that will make food.
We shall prepare our barns as never
before to care for this forage crop, We
should save il all so when winter comes
We will have plenty and TO spare. The
American people are ths most wastful
people ossearth; but the time has come
when We must save. So let US get
the habit Of saving and II will be easy
Most every one Of the papers report
the landing Of small contingen,s Of the
American army in France and Eng land
and We are proud that the first Amer.
lean flag to be unfurled in Europe was
carried there by the army surgeon.
These soldiers must be fed, they are
absolutely dependent upon US for food,
so let US do our duty. let US feed them

The bond is one of the best of

or is it a matter of not having
the time, has it been too dry or
too wet? or perhaps really the
roads haven't really needed work
ling. | wish that. you might tell
lme the reason WHY overseers
are not giving their roads their
accustomed attention.
You know there is need of er-
cry road in the county being
ditched and put in proper con-
dition, you know there has been
repeated complaints among
Deighbors and to your county
officials of the unusually bad
roads, who have promised you
all reasonable assistance and i'm
plored you to put your roads in
good condition and now in the
middle of summer who ever
knew of the roads in a worse
condition at this time of the
year and as there is no seeming
disposition to work them, they
are bound to grow worse with
the inevitable fact that it cost
the county more each succeeding
year to keep the route. blazed so
the rural mail carriers will not
lose their way, it is a blessing
that they travel these roads
every day. How much longer
do you think Uncle Sam will
listen to bad road complaints,
We notice that some routes are
being seriously considered for
K. scsntin uatioA for
this very reason. Overseers
are allowed al least six days in
the year to work the county road
and ! dare say that there is not
a road in the county but what
needs at least six days or more,
how many days on an average
do you suppose they get when
you fail to work the road, what
is the result, wash outs, roads
to narrow for a wagon to pass,
then the county is asked to put
up an additional expense for a
new road or to ditch or widen
the old one, bad business, many
of US wanted to change back to
the old system, well we got it

set down and quit or 90 to town
or to our neighbor and ask for
a public subscription to repair a

little or a good deal of attention

FOR COUNTY
SUPERINTENDENT
E. Jeffrey Travis Will Make Third
Race For School Superintendent
Of Crittenden County

Dear Friends:
After having thought long and
seriously over the matter, |
have decided to again enter the
race for the nomination for
County Superintendent, subject
to the action of the Republican
voters in the August primary.
This is the third time | have
asked the people of my county
for this same office. They have
granted it twice, not, | hope. as
a personal favor to me, indiyid-
ually, but because my work has
warranted it. 1t is on this point
that | have courage to ask for
the place again, as | am aware
of the fact that some people OBJ
ject to individuals holding Office
for a third term. The Critten-
den County Board of Education
pays $500 per month on the
salary of any teacher who teach
es for the third term in the same
school. They believe in efficiency
and not in favorit.sm. They are
willing to pay more for the
teacher who does the most good.
This good is witnessed by the
people whom he serves. | am
not asking for more money, just
here, but | am asking for re-
endorsement il my work in the
schools of the county for the
past seven years will stand the
test.
/ come, demanding no favors,
nor seeking obligations on your
part, whatever. If you think
there is another who will 90
more good for your children than
have done, or will be able to do
choose that person with the least
hesitation. and take not the least
thought of me, because | have
lived forty.eight years, princi-
pallv by my own efforts, and ex.
pect to live out the remainder of
my allotted time looking out for
No. |. You do not owe me q
thing beyond what | earn. The
thought | wish to emphasize is.
look entirely to the schools in
making your choice in this race.
Politics, | know, is a fascinating
game, and at intervals fills the
participant with either glee, anx.
iety or remorse. Politics does
not mix well in schools or church.
es. For this reason | believe the
schools ought to be kept entirely
free from its demands. But as
it is not the case, and as | am
asking for the third term. | will
also, ask you to measure my
ability as a school officer along
with the others who are asking
you to vote for them, and if | am
at the head of the class please
forget the "hand-around game"
that politics usually demands and
give me your vote. | have never
made any promises to get votes,
but if | am your choice again
this time ! will pledge myself to
bring about things in the system
that have never yet been done
. in the county. have tried to
/ preform the duties of the office
honestly and fearlessly. My in
tention is to continue the same.

little better chance than any
