GET LICENSE TO OPERATE GINS
Timely Announcement Made by Food
 Administration On This Feature

Notwithstanding repeated an nouncements on the. subject, many persons have begun the erection ot gins in various parts of the state, un- mindful of the fact that before any en- terprise of this nature may Se operat- ed it will be absolutely necessary to have license from the United States Food Administration. Approaching the fact that it will no doubt save considerable expenditure fer those who may not realize tie necessity fo. a license, Hanp Williams federal iood administrator for Arkansas, feluests that all who contemplate erecting gins make application to his office before any work of this nature is undertaken
 The United States Food Administra- tion has requested that all applica- tions for gin be given careful inves- tigation by state and county food administrators, and that gins that have been built and are being operat- ed without the OfHclal llcenSe oe Stop- ped at once.
 "The license to build anu operate a gin, explained MT. Williams, will not cost the applicant penny. The license is free, but the government de- mands that application for permission be made. first. All who contemplate building gins should write to my office and we win give their application inn mediate consideration. Do not, how ever, go into the gin business without license, for you will not get any where and only have endless trouble. I hope this timely warning will be given due consideration"

The Peace Offensive.

That there will be German peace offensive ss soon as this years cam paign is over is not questioned by those in high authority. Germany has already lost hope of winning the war by force of arms. Her next move will be to win the war by negotiations which will allow her to retain her powerful positions in the east. It hasn't been so long since Germany argued that Americai would be an inn potent factor since the war WIS un- popular with our people. Now the German people are being told that the war craze in America is the thing that stands in the way of peace. Hints as to the form the pe>Se offensive Will take are beginning to leak from vari- Ous sources, from German papers and prisoners. These indicate that the ar sumcnt will be that the western front cannot be broken by the allies ana that the war must continue to be deadlock, and that peace can only come by understanding. She will ad- \ init that she cannot win and that nel- ther can the allies break down the German war machine. She will hope tc find converts to that idea among some of the allied nations. No one has yet forgotten the Rassian peace nor the Roumanian, and her pious phrases about the brotherhood of man will likely fall upon deaf ears in the allied camps. The west front can and will be broken. The German war ma chine can and will be kicked out of s power. There can and will be no lasting peace for the world until every last one of the hell breeding clan is wiped out of existence. A peace by understanding would be as senseless as trying to come to an understanding with pack of Hydrophobia dogs. That kind of peace would mean that every American dollar spent for prosecuting the war would have been wasted and every American life would have been snent in vain, Woodrow Wilson has
 rd that there was nothing to discuss Around a round table, and that Russia would not be forgotten. He has also f said that there can be no peace with the German government as at present constituted. Americas position is thus made clear The peace offensive will go like all other German offensives. Germany must pay for her dancing like she said the others must pay when victory for them seemed in sight.

It begins to look like the eastern front is coming back. Russia is being given a chance to redeem herself and indications are that she will do it. She will probably not be the military force that she once was, but on the other hand her old enemy is also in a much worse way than she once was, having more than her hands full in other quarters.
