their bit" in helping to end sdecesS
fully this awful war, and If given an
opportunity we believe they will do
1t. We know of no better way for the
farmer boys and girls to do their BIT
than by joining some Of the Agrieul'
tural Clubs above mentioned which
are being organized in every county
in state by the County Agents and
the object Of which is to grow food
for themselves and for their brothers
by blood or brothers by allegiance TO Q
common cause.
Second: Aside from the oppoit -.
ity to serve their country in this time
of great need, which within itself il
sufficient reason why every boy and
girl should join some club, there Is
a very great educational value to this
work for the boys and girls. They
'learn to do by doing"-not unusual
but usual things in an unusual way.
Third: 1t is good business prop
osition. They are taught the value
of farm bookkeeping which enables
them to know whether are farming at
a profit or at loss II shows up the

and shows them how to stop these
leaks. Then, too. these boys and girls
make money which they can call their
own and which they can use and spend
as they please, but most Of which, we
are glad to say, is being wisely used
put in savings banks or, better stiii'
invested in w. s. S. which is another
way of showing their patriotism.

to the Clubs, see your County Agent

The layman cannot understand why
some inventive genius does not devise
a practicable locking device which

BILE. There is a fortune in store for
the one who does this, and provides

The insurance companies. which are
beginning to pay out large sums for
stolen and wrecked automobiles
should also be interested in the promo
sition. Cars are stolen every night
in Little Rock, and while they are re-
covered as rule, they are frequently
badly damaged and cause the owners
great inconvenience.
Another phase of the question that
is to be given consideration. is the
fact that it is only a misdemeanor to

it in some out of the way place. Lar

courts hold that this element does
not enter into the taking of an auto

Maybe not, in law. but it does in
practice and in the moral code. An
effort will be made in the next Legs
lature to secure the passage of an
act making it a felony to drive an
automobile off without the permission
of the owner-and when this is done,
and not until then, will the growing
practice be broken up.

VIM. B. Owen, State Highway Com

attention by an address in which he
pointed out how the fine highways

UNUSUAL CASE OF INDIAN
BRINGING SUIT FOR DIVORCE
Willie Morgan Charges Wife, Dolly,
With Extreme Cruelty Claim.
ing Excess of Mother-in-law

In the cold archives of the office
of County Clerk Wilson reposes the
document of Willie Steve Morgan of
the Indian tribe so familiar to US, in
which is embodied the complaint
that he has suffered excessive cruel
ty at the hands of Dolly Morgan,
whom in the period of Loves
Young Dream" he had taken to his
bosom as his wife, to love and
cherish.
1t is sordid case divested of the
charm of romance which the involv-
ing of the name of another warrior
might have enhanced. 1t is the old,
old story of fresh young love blight
ed almost in its early bloom by the
intrusion of a mother-in-law
Thus becomes a reality the beau
tiful picture drawn by our beloved
American poet Longfellow of Hia-
watha the noble Mohawk, who had
so greatly advanced in all the high
er Ideals Dey0nd MS tribe.
In this divorce suit brought be-
fore us even at our very doors, SO
unusual If not almost without prece-
dent in our knowledge of the noble
Red Man, is exemplified once more
the truth our dear old prexy strug-
gled through long semester to in
oculate us with that example is
weapon more mighty than precept.
Encouraged by the ease with
which the nuptial knot is. in this
land of the free, united and profit
ing by the distinction accorded the
divorcee and the divorced In our
Sabbath papers, Willie Morgan, In
dian, by all the right of first citi-
zen becomes a claimant for niche

infamous by the white man.
The spouse alleged to have in
fiicted this extreme cruelty upon her
once lord, is a comely maiden, edu-
Gated, which however, is not ad-
vanced as a reason for the cruelty.
and would serve we'll as character
for a Helen Hunt Jackson story.
The sad feature of this unusual
case is the thought so acutely forced
upon us of the corroding influences
of modern civilization, else why even
in a generation should the descend
ant of Hiawatha, he of our beautiful
dream in the days before We knew of
hideously painted warriors shooting
poisoned arrows through logs five
feet In diameter, demand Of the
court of our land that he be released
without prejudice from hts volun
