tude of the struggle at Verdun. 1t is
the biggest thing in the military his
tory if the world. Think of it! Eight
hundred thousand German lives were
sacrificed; our own losses were APP
palling. You speak of the battle of
the Marine, the Somme, Vimy Ridge,
but I tell you they pale before Yer
dun. Germany was vanquished for
all time before our French fortress.
"And to us Frenchmen it was the
vindication of centuries. How often
have you heard the British say: 20
yes, the Trenches are brave little
fellows; splendid at a quick charge
but when it comes to the long hard
grind, the stubborn tenacious defense,
then you need Mr.. Tommy Atkins. The
world had been led to believe some
thing like this about us.
"And then came Verdun. Was there
ever a greater exhibition of what ouI
English friends claim as their own
grim bulldog fighting? Was there
ever any other army that stood an(
took what we took-not for hours OF
days, but months, the fiercest human
onslaught ever launched, and never
wavered once? And then after this
ordeal to have the stamina and spiri
to counter-attack? Pardon me, gen
tlemen, but when l think of Verdur
l feel it privilege to be a French
man.
I'VE wanted the United States II
this war not because we believed W.
needed them to win, but because W.
wanted them by their alliance to tel
the world that ours was the cause o
justice, right, humanity.
To-day we think differently, az
you have pointed out. We wan
America with us, not merely lending
moral and financial aid, but shoulder
to shoulder, with us in the trenches
fighting the bloody fight for democ
racy And we want you there because
we now believe we need you to ent
this war.
I'VE French are candid. We tel
you openly we want you. We wei
come you enthusiastically as deliver
| ers and Raviours; our county is
yours we have taken you into GU
arms as brothers. But please, pleas

have tired of the fight, that we are
wearied and sick at heart; that our
day is over and it is now up to Ameri-
ca to take on her young shoulders
the burdens of France.
France is happy because America
is with us; not because she expects
you to fight her battles, but because
she knows it brings peace close to

IMPROVED IMPLEMENTS FOR
 THE HOUSEWIFE.

Too many farmers who have i'm. proved farm machinery and use the latest methods in making their crops have forgotten that it is possible 10 make the work of the housewife much easier by paying little attention to the arrangement of the kitchen and by furnishing labor saving devices which can be made without great deal of trouble or expense. De scriptions of these devices, including the milk cooler, iceless refrigerator, folding ironing board, the roller tray wagon and serving table, the home made shower bath, the sc.'.lbbing chariot, the dustless mop, fireless cooker and many others can be se- cured for the asking upon application to the Extension Division, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville.

ALL ENJOY FOURTH OF
 JULY CELEBRATION
Crowd Came Early and Stayed Late-Day Was Thoroughly
 Enjoyed by All.

The Fourth of July celebra- ton and picnic held here Wednesday was an enjoyable occasion for all who attended. The largest crowd that ever at tended a celebration of this kind was in attendance. The wealth CT was ideal and the crowd, es- tlmated at about 5000 people, arrived early and stayed late. The day passed without acci- dents and the crowd was very orderly.
 At II a. m. appropriate exer- cises were held in the Park. The principal address was deliv- cred by Col. c. D. James, of the First Arkansas Infantry. His subject was, Military Training and National Preparedness" The address was excellent and enjoyed by all. Col. James was born and raised in Judsonia, re- ceived part of his education here and was admitted to the bar at this place. Another fact of in- terest is that of the members of the band who played in ths first Fourth of July celebration here, 36 years ago, he and F. G. Briggs are the only two mem- bers still alive.
 The prizes awarded in the street parade were as follows Callithumpian, D. Monday. On account of only two autos being decorated the committee divid- ed the prize money equally be- tween John Henson and R. c. Mann.
 In the baby contest the com mittee awarded the first prize to the child of Mir. and Mrs. w. Ramsey and second prize to the child of Mrs. M. J. Chaney of Bald Knob.

PRESERVE EGGS FOR WINTER
 USE.
Consumers as We'll as Deale. Can
 Keep Eggs.

Eggs are high priced during some months of the year because they are scarce. Every housewife can guard against these high prices if she will preserve eggs when they are plenti- full and cheap. It is just as easy for the housewife as it is for the dealer to preserve eggs.
 "Water Glass" Method.
 The most practical way for the housewife to preserve eggs is by the Water Glass method. Water Glass" (sodium silicate) can be bought at any drug store. It is sy- rupy liquid and should always be used in the proportion of one part of water glass to nine parts of cool water which has been boiled. By using these proportions eggs can be preserved in any jar or crock filled with the solu- tion aad they will keep several months if stored in cool cellar or room where the air is fresh
 Selecting the Eggs To Be Preserved.
 Eggs should be preserved by being put III IilC WotCi SletoS oOlullS1h tiiE same day they are laid. TheU must be clean, but unw2shed, and with good shells. Be careful and do not crack them in filling the jar. Since infer tile eggs naturally keep longer and fresher than fertile eggs, it is best to use infertile eggs. In filling the jar, be sure. to leave about inches of the solution over the top of the eggs. When filled, cover the jar with heavy paper This will keep the solution clean and help prevent evaporation. Inspect the jars regular ly and see that they are kept filled with the solution. Do not let enough of the solution evaporate to expose any of the eggs to the air.

THOUSANDS LOST
 IN ROTTEN EGGS
Food Supply and Farm Profits.
Extension Division University of Ark
 ansas, Fayetteville.

ansas, Fayetteville.
 Arkansas farmers lose thousands of dollars every summer because the eggs from the fiocks spoil before being marketed. The greater part of this loss is due to partial matching of fertile eggs which have been allowed to become warm enough to begin to incubate. Produce infertile eggs and thus help to increase the food supply in the state and your farm profits Infertile eggs keep best and market best in summer, while fertile eggs spoil quickly during hot weather. Boosters Do Not Help the Hens Lay.
 Remember the rooster does not help the hens lay, but he merely fer tllizes the germ of the egg, which is unnecessary if the eggs are not to be used for matching purposes. Tbs fer. tile germ in hot weather quickly be- comes a blood ring which spells the egg for food and for the market. Sum mer heat has the same effect on fer. tile eggs as the hen or incubator.
 lnfertile Eggs Will Not Make
 Blood Rings.
 Produce infertile eggs because the infertile germ will not produce a blood ring and, consequently, an in fertile egg will not spoil as quickly as one that is fertile. Cook, can, or pen your roosters as soon as the matching season is over. Farmers are urged to follow the following simple rules which will cost nothing but time and thought and will add a great deal to the profits from the poultry:
 l. Provide plenty of clean nests; have one nest for every four hens and keep the straw clean.
 g. Gather the eggs twice daily dur ing warm or rainy weather.
 8. Keep the eggs in cool, dry place and market them not less than twice week during hot weather.
 4 Dispose of the roosters as soon as khe matching season is over; pro- Iduce infertile eggs
 I :. 5. Preserve eggs for the family for winter use the same day they are laid; remember, only clean (not washed), fresh, uncracked eggs can be preserved.

CAN'T TPENALIzEWO
 FOR FAILURE TO ASSESS
Attorney General A~buckle Says Law Doesn't Req dire Them
 to Assess for Poll Tax.

Attorney General John D. Ar buckle, in compliance with a re- quest of Vernon Heath, assessor of Pulaski county, as to whether women who fail to assess for poll tax could be penalized, yes terday gave an opinion that they could not.
 MT. Arbuckle in his reply to MT. Heath, said: There is ab- solutely no law requiring women to assess and until there is such a law such a poll tax can not be- come delinquent. The poll tax is an entirely different and sep arate tax from any other tax, either personal or real, and hence the new assessment law does not apply to this tax. For the above reason, in the opinion of this office, ladies, if assessed at all, should be assessed with out penalty for the payment of poll taxes. In the assessment of poll taxes against ladies you will take into consideration former opinions given by this office"
