The Spy Menace.
From Ihe Kansas cltv star-

From The Kansas City Star.
 A single sentence got 10 Germany by a spy might result in the toFpe- doing of a transport and Ihe loss of thousands of lives. The American people haven't realized the fact yet, There has been a disposition--re- flected in the leniency of court sen ienees to he good humoredly con- teinptuous of German spies.
 The attack on the transports car rying pershing's troops ought to arouse the Nation to the need of a thorough search for spies and stern dealings with them. Apparently only men with access to state secrets could have notified the submarines just when to go. The outcome might easily have been tragic The men responsible were eanspiring against the lives of thousands of Americans. To such wolves no mercy should be shown.
 The administration may be sure the Nation will back the most dras- tie methods to suppress the stream Of information that seems to flow with little hindrance from this country to Berlin.

Two subjects at this time are up- permost in the public mind--the war and good roads. No one knows how soon, but all eyes are peering ahead to see the end and the plans of the business world are being laid for action at the end of the war when that shall arrive.
 On the other hand, the good roads subject, one that is engaging all minds the farmer, as producer, with his eye on better markets and the merchant with his eve on a bigger business-as something that is just in it's beginning something that will year after year increase and expand in it's effect on business, travel, development and town growth

Women and Waste.

President Wilson. thru the Ma tional Council for Defense, is call- ing on women of Arkansas to con- serve the food Not all of us could buy Liberty Bond, not all of us can enlist for trench service, but every woman can enroll for food conservation. This is not new lesson for suffragists since they were the first organization of women to offer the President their services and cooperation by teaching Agri- culture and the elimination of waste.
 II has been pointed out that in the United States only 20 per cent of the food ultimately reaches the kitchen, but that women must account for the talents given them is imperative al this time.
 Let the suffrage principle of equal ity be applied to our food. Let us share equally with our Allies. the crop of i9i7.-pulaski County Equal Suffrage Central Committees.
