Don't Bring Kids
To Show To The
Draft Boards

Registrars who appear before the
legal advisory boards are requested
not to bring along their dependents
under is years of age. By bringing
the youngsters out they are unneces-
sarily exposed to the danger of in
fuenza while waiting the drafter's
turn in the crowded courthouse.
There is usually a congestion Of peo-
pie in the building, many of whom
must wait for hours before their turn
comes. So the health authorities
want everybody to stay away who
is not compelled to be present.

LENINE AND TROTSKY
WERE PAID AGENTS OF
GERMANY IN RUSSIA

The United States Govern
ment has come into possession
of documents which prove that
Lenine and Trotsky, Bolshevik
leaders in Russia, were in the
pay of the Kaiser and acting
agents for Germany in the
work of spreading German
propaganda throughout Russia.
These documents were unear-
thed by government agents in
Petrograd. They go to prove
that the German general staff
planned the whole Bolshevik
revolution, bringing about the
worst state of chaos ever wit
messed in the world.

HUNS HAVE NO NEED
FOR FIELD GLASSES
ST. Louis Soldier Tells Why
They are Thrown Away
BY Fleeing Germans

The following story comes
from a Y. NJ. c. A. secretary
with the American Army in
France.
Among the spoils of war re-
covered by the American fight
ing forces in their victorious
fighting through the Vesle re-
gion are numerous pairs of fine
binoculars hastily discarded by
German officers. In some sec
tons where the Yankees made
a sudden attack and Fritz had
been obliged to move in a hur-
ry, it seemed to have been rain
ing field glasses when the vic
tors reached the scene.
A canteen worker attached
to one of the 7. NJ. c. A. units
near the front was talking with
a hard guy in olive drab.
The hard guy was from St.
Louis.
"Why is it, said the Red
Triangle man, that the Ger
mans throw away Sc many
pairs of binoculars when they
get ready to beat it? The glas-
ses weigh practically nothing,
and as they are attached to a
strap hung around the neck
they wouldn't be any trouble
to carry. | can understand a
soldier shedding his overcoat,
knapsack, rifle and tin hat if
he was in a hurry to get thith-
er from hither, but why unlc ad
an article that is expensive and
hard to get at any price when
it is as small and light as a pair
of field glasses?'
Listen, BIO, replied the St.
Louis soldier. Them Huns
amt making no sucker play
when they cans them field |
cheaters. They know some
thing, does them Heinies. At
ter goin' up agin us Yanks a
couple O. times they savvy that
they amt goin' to need no
glasses to see us cause we're
goin' to be right on toppa 'em
all the time. No sir; when
they was chasin' them Roosians
all over the map on the east
front they had to have glasses
to see their prey, but they amt
nc guy in the Boche army that
is so near sighted he won't see
us Americans if he just sticks
around. What them birds fig
ure they need is speed, not
glasses. And take it from me,
that amt bad figuring Meth
err.

ARKANSAS DOING
HER PART WELL
State Has Gone Over the Top
in Every Call For War
Assistance

Last Thursday nearly 200,-
600 of the best manhood of
Arkansas were registered at
the call of our President, the
biggest and noblest figure in
the history of the day and ev-
cry one of them is ready to
stand back of him to the last
ounce of their blood and the
last cent of their treasure.
And in the whole state there
was not the least semblance of
opposition or disloyalty, but
every man knew his duty and
was ready to perform it.
The draft numbers will be
known soon, then will come the
calls for selectives up to 30
years of age, at first, taking
men from every walk of life. 1t
is inevitable that business will
be more or less crippled, but
it is better that business should
be crippled, than that it should
be annihilated by the course of
the Hun and the blight of Prus-
sianism.
Already more than $4,000
Arkansas boys have answered
the summons to the colors, and
the daily casualty list brings
back the sad story of many
who are now sleeping their last
sleep on the shell-torn slope of
the Vosle and the Aisne, and
within the last few days have
made the supreme sacrifice on
the Eastward slopes of Frence
Lorraine, overlooking the
Rhine provinces of Germany.
As time passes there is scar
eely a home in the state that
will not have in its window the
mute protest of a service star
against the war-lust of the Ho-
henzollerns, and the color of
many of those stars will turn
to gold, announcing that the
great sacrifice has been made
complete.
But Arkansas is not falter
ing. 1t is ready for any call,
and prepared for any emergen-
ey. Just as it has responded to
every call that has been made,
has answered every request for
cooperative effort and gone
over the top" in every drive fer
funds to support civilian war
ACTIVITIES, so VIII they continue
till the end of the chapter
1t is no time for PARTISAN or
denominational prejudices or
chickering's or petty fault find
ings.
The Republican leaders of
the state sounded the keynote
when they announced politics
is adjourned"
Denominationalism is the
same in its relation to the
world struggle. 1t is no time
for jealousies of creed or re-
ligious dissention. and FORUM
ately, these things are very
rare.

w\CORPOR VERSUS
COOPER ALTON"

1t has surprised me very much
that the invitation to discuss the
question of incorporation IN the
columns of the Askov American
has met with SO little interest
that but one taxpayer has felt
inclined to express his views.
Can it be that the question is Of
minor Importance. or is it pos
siblc that those taxpayers direct
" affected have already made
up their minds as to how they
will vote on April 18th?

has been referred to as in

YOU also know Mr.. MoSkek, tina,
anyone who signed the petition

for incorporating" The petition
is only asking for vote on the
question and is not a vote.
| did not urge anyone to sign the
petition who did not care to and
can prove that by those whom
| approached on the matter if
you want it that way.
If you take every two. three.
FIVE and even ten acre tracts of
land inside the incorporate linz
its to be a farm. then of course
what might be termed the viii
lage proper is quite small.
If, as you intimate, the bust
ness men of Askov are purely at
the mercy of the farmers and
are merely figureheads. | should
think that it would be a wise
thing to have the village incor-
porated, secure fire protection.
thereby reduce insurance rates
and save money in the long run.
1t will be economy and the farm
ers will not have to donate so
much money to the poor bust
ness man to keep him living. A
good sound business farmer will
see the value and advantage of
that. 1t must surely be a bles-
sing to be food producer and
know that you are king pin. The
sooner we learn to know that we
all need one another the better
it is for us. BY this | do not
mean to intimate that there are
not some places of business and
Offices especially in the larger
cities, which could not be elm
mated. But | know of no bust
ness man in Askov who does not
produce enough or rather do
enough to entitle him to a liv-
ing.
You think | ought to act as
chairman Of the forum when |
invite discussion on a matter. !
viii not dispute your word. Per-
hads ! ought to, but | certainly
have my opinion on the matter
in spite of the fact that | hap
pen to be editor Of this paper
and feel free to voice my senti-
ments. However if you would
rather discuss the matter with
someone else | will drop out. We
have each had three Swings at
it and the public is perhaps tir-
ing of this kind of matter which
brings us nowhere. We are TAX
ing up a lot of time and valuable
space. | suggest that we leave
the field to someone else and go
hand in hand to the polls on
election day and vote for incor-
poration. At the mass meeting
recently held in town hall there
were no utterances against in
cooperating and not u single dis
senting vote when a trial vote
was taken to feel out the opin-
ION of the public. This makes it
appear that incorporation is
wanted II, Petersen.
