There are many people, in this country, who do not realize that we are in war, and that too the most relentless and destructive ever Waged. The cities and towns are beginning to feel its baneful influence; but out in the country, where the farmer lives and grows his own living at home, and a surplus to sell, he only knows that a war is in ex- lStence from reading about 1t, unless some member of his fam fly has gone to the front. So far as the farmer is concerned, up to this time, the war has served him no bitter stroke. It has en- hanced the value of his products and has enabled him to make money as never before. As long as he succeeds u growing album dant crops he will not suffer great inconvenience on account of the war; but let drought come and one seasons crops fail, and with the prevailing high prices of all sorts of commodities, the farmer will be hit hard. There. fore it is important that diversi fcation should be practiced tc the largest extent. No single crop should be depended on, and more especially should the single crop of cotton be avoided, during the war. To grow something te eat should be the farmers motto resting assured, at all times, that if he makes more than is needed for home use, he will find a ready sale at remunerative prices.

We had two holidays for Thanksgiving, for which we were thankful. We had a little time to recuperate from the strenuous effects of the last exam. This week is test week and we are very busy scrammingo for those inevitable questions on Physics, Mathematics, English, Latin and German, as we'll as many other subjects.
 Our representatives to the colder Boys Conferenceo at Llt- tie Rock returned the first of the week. They were Mir. Linn mer, Chapman Davidson and Hubert Hearn, who report an enjoyable and profitable trip, having heard such speakers as Dr. shannon, of Ohio, Mir. Colt on of New York, Dr. Mathers, of the University of Texas and MT. Hunter of Arkansas. Little Rock and Fort Smith had the highest number of representa- tives. Several High School Boys made short. but excellent talks on the topics, "Olean Athletics, J "Cheating and dishonesty, ""The One Essential" 7" The delegates were given trip to Camp Pike, in auto trucks, which they enjoy ed immensely. They returned to Monticello filled with the spirit of progress, and with the messages they have brought, We believe Monticello High School will be placed on higher plane

Christmas will soon be here, and to some it will be as joyful and cheerful as those gone be- fore; but to others, many oth CTS, it will bring grief and sad ness. That bright and robust son who cheered you one year ago is with you no more. His chair around your fire-side is va cant, his happy and hearty laughter is heard, by you, no more. He is far away from home and friends; either in a foreign land, or in an army camp in this Republic. These are trials we must endure, and before another Christmas comes there will be more, many more, of these saddened homes, unless the war should close, which now seems improbable.

di ltqeflt and most acceptable l. l II 5 constituents. He is one man
 who stays constantly on the job and can always be counted on by the administration in all great questions with which the Gov ernment has to deal. He IS a man of sound judgment and
 proved ability and an incessent worker, and this District has a member, in Col. Taylor, that 1t can and does take just pride,
 hence there is no disposition or talk of changing him for another at next Springs Primary Elec-
 ton.
 In the Seventh District, now so ably represented by Hon. w. IS. Goodwin, of Warren, there are a few ambitious spell-binders, who have more aspiration than patriotic devotion to their coun- try, who contemplate opposing him for reelection. But as MT. Goodwin has been weighed in the balances and found equal to ev- cry emergency, our opinion is that opposition to him, if it should develop, at all, will be of the infinitesimal variety which will be buried by an avalanche of ballots at the Primary Eelec- ton, and that Mir. Goodwin will be the winner, by a larger major ity than even at the last election, when he doubled all opposing candidates.
 In piping times O peace" when the country is tranquil, 1t is we'll to consider the claims of aspiring genius and allow lati- tude to develop statesmanship; but in times like these, when the whole world is rent with war, and devastation, destruction and anarchy turks in every hiding place, 1t is dangerous to experl- ment. Hence, for the good of the country, the welfare of the nation and the safety of the peo- pie, let us keep in Congress, at least until this cruel war is over, men whom we know and whom we can implicitly trust.

LITTLE ROGK:- The Navy De- partment is calling upon Arkansas to furnish, in the shortest possible time, one thousand men for the Navy.
 Because of the part of the Navy is being called upon to perform in the present crisis, it is essential that that branch of the service be recruited to full strength without delay.

 The lowest rate of pay in the Navy today is S32.50. Men with trades that can be used aboard ships are given a higher rate of pay, but those without trades may enlist as apprentice seamen or firemen third-class be in line for quick promotion. Men without trades are given an opportunity to learn one. Enlistment ages IS to 35.
 Men may enlist for Navy at the sub- stations in Hot Springs, Fort Smith, Jonesbore, Leslie, Conway, or at the main station at Little Rock. Informa- tion concerning the Navy may be se cured from the Postmasters.

ACTRESS RECEIVERS
BOTTLE TOSSED IN
SEA YEARS AGO

A bottle, covered with seaweed
gathered in a journey of three years
in the Atlantic ocean since II was
thrown overheard from the steamer
iceland in September, 1914. has come
back to Miss frankie Bilbo. dainty
soubrette playing at the Gayety The
ater this week, and today she Is tell
ing her friends about a letter she
wrote when her ship was imperiled
between icebergs and German mines.
Miss Bilbo was playing in London
when the war broke out and she took
ship for home early in September.
When two days out icebergs were
sighted, and the ship officers received
reports Of drifting mines planted by
the German naval forces. Caught be-
tween two dangers, Miss Bilbo be-
came frightened, and resolved to
write letter and commit Il to the
waves. She did so, sealing the bottle
with stout wax. 1t drifted about in
the ocean for three years, lodging
mines and submarines. and landed
safely a week ago in the port OF New
York.
Letter UnreadabIe.
Dampness has made the letter I'M
readable, but the signature was plain
enough and the port authorities sent
the bottle to the Columbia Theater in
New York, which was the address
Miss Bilbo signed to the letter.
at made me feel uncanny to think
visitor like that should show up so
Unexpectedly" said Miss Bilbo today.
Il hardly want to see 1t, because
was SO frightened when it was writ
ten. 1t was just a note telling how
excited all the passengers were at the
time and how hopeless our chances
seemed OF ever seeing New York
again.
"In spite of the comparatively
warm weather when the ship left
London, 1t got cold at sea. The ship
officers said IT was surprising to see
icebergs in that path, and we all
supposed they had got loose from a
pack.
Feared German Mines.
Then when the reports came that
the Zealand was in the midst or
German mines - everybody felt sure
the ship was going down. But she
came through all right put the
letter in a strong bottle a sailor gave
me and threw It into the sea, tightly
sealed. My address was plainly writ
ten. When the port authorities open
ed the bottle they had no trouble
sending 1t to the Columbia Theater"
Miss Bilbo has been engaged in
theatrical wo5k twelve years. For
many seasons she was with Niblo and
Riley in a blackface vaudeville act.
This is the second season since her
return to burlesque, and she promises
never to leave the field again. Her
song and dancing numbers are real
features OF the Sam Sidman show
playing the Gayety Theater this
week.

"WHERE DO We BUNK?"
FIRST CAMP INQUIRY

CAMP MEADE. Sept. ga throng
OF cheering soldiers greeted the arri-
val today of another contingent of
men of the great national army from
the District OF Columbia. When the
embryo fighters reached the big can
Torment camp there was more than
one expression at its size and the
formidable wooden cantonments
where the men will live during their
period oftraining to become defend
ers of American ideals abroad.
A group of officers from the staff
of General Kuhn met the recruits and
formally welcomed them into the
service of the United States. After
depositing their hand satchels in the
quartermaster's depot, the men were
assigned to barracks and turned over
to non-commissioned officers for first
instructions.
Where do We bunk" was the first
question that a Washington drafted
man asked as soon as his instructor
had taken his name and age.
'Over there in that long wooden
building, the one with the shutters
and open windows" replied the army
sergeant.
District drafted men who reached
the camp yesterday were assigned
their uniforms this morning. They
called on the quartermaster for uni
forms. hats. shoes, and underwear.
The District troops will begin real
training this week, with the arrival
OF a contingent of regular army in
structors from West Point and other
points in New York
