Of the character and idealisn Of our

this year is to further reduce con-

We have so arranged the interna.

moderate substitution Of other cereals
in bread, 1t will not, we hope, be nee.
essary to substitute one foodstuff for

THINK IT OVER

Democrats of Graham county,
what are you going to do this
election, show your loyalty to
President Wilson and his admin
istration by voting the demo-
cratic ticket, or desert to the
political enemy, the republican
party, and bolster up their
strength to fight you in the ma.
tional election two years from
now?
Our boys are "over there
fighting for a principle. Your
boy and my boy. brother. father
or sweetheart.
What would you think Of them
If they should desert to the en-.
emy? On the other hand, what
will they think of you if you de.
sert you principles and join the
enemies of the administration
which is supporting them?
Think it over, democrats, and
don't do something you will later
be sorry for.
This is the time the republi.
cans should vote with you, in.
stead of asking you to desert
your party and principles and
vote with them.
Do you feel like standing
squarely behind the present ad.
ministration which is succeeding
so nobly, and thereby count your.
self as one who has helped? On
are you dissatisfied with what
has been done and feel that you
should lend your support to those
opposed to the administration {
Your vote in this election will

THEY ALWAYS RETURN TO STAY

A recent addition to a number
of our business men, is w. A.
Chapman, manager of the Ari-
zona Investment Agency Co. He
is a western man and by profess
sion a mining engineer, who,
years ago, placer mined in this
State.
Professors Baird and Thomas,
of the Smithsonian Institute,
made use of him in exploring the
mounds of Arkansas, with the
result that it was determined
that the builders of the mounds
were also the workers of the pre-
historic mines of that state and
the origin of the grooved rocks.
While engaged in this work,
he further made the discovery
of a new species of zinc ore and
the presence of a fossil ammonite
before unknown in that forma-
ton. His explorations, during ten
years service as deputy United
States mineral surveyor, and the
information acquired in the oper-
alton of his assay office, in Hot
Springs, rendered him so con-
verSant with the mineral re-
rources OF the state that he de-
voted himself to their utilization,
with the result that he made
known the Arkansas zinc fields
and effected the profitable place
ment of hundreds of thousands
of dollars in now paving mines
for his clients.

Mr.. Chapman intends locating
his assay Office in Stafford, and
will devote his attention to the
promotion of industrial enter
prises that have to do with the
development of the natural re-
sources of the valley, that he
says is the Lost Garden of
Eden" Associated with him,
are men of high attainments and
experienced in industrial affairs.
Mr.. Chapman has two sons,
volunteers in service, and is the
inventor of the Stokes gun, now
rendering efficient service in the
hands of the English in trench
warfare, as well as a number of
talking, moving picture machine
improvements and other devices.
He would appreciate information
of any sort relative to the to-
Biography, soil and water of the
valley, and the cooperation of
the people of the valley.

ON TO BERLIN

President Wilson's answer to
the German peace proposal leaves
no doubt of the real situation in
regard to peace for the world at
this time.
There will be no negotiations
for peace with the Imperial gov
ernment of Germany, neither
will there be an armistice while
German troops continue to burn
up and destroy the towns they
retreat from in Belgium and
France.
The conditions of an armistice
will be left entirely to the judg-
ment of the military advisers OF
the government of the United
States and the allied govern.
ments, and no arrangement can
be made that does not provide
satisfactory safeguards and guar.
sntees of the maintenance of the
present military supremacy of
the armies of the United States
and the allies in the field.
President Wilson makes il
plain to the people of Germany
that their autocratic government
must be abolished in order to
bring them peace.
1t must be unconditional sur.
render or continuance of the
war to a finish to forever place
it out of the power of an autoc.
rscy to plunge the world into
another war. The kaiser and
his hell-hounds who brought on
this war must be brought to &C.
count before the bar Of nations
and punished for their bloody
crimes, their "Kulture."

considered 1T necessary to issue a
warning to the effect that all
possible steps should be taken to
prevent conditions from becom-
ing even worse throughout the
country. 1t is said that reports
have been received showing the
presence of the disease in every
one of our states except five.
The condition at our national
capital. with it's overcrowded Of
fees, hotels and dwellings, has
become so serious that extra
ordinary precautions are being
taken orders having been issued
for the immediate closing Of
theatres, dance halls, moving
picture houses, etc. The WASH
ington schools have already been
closed, and the time of. opening
stores and public Offices is also
being regulated in order to avoid
dangerous crowded conditions on
street cars. The hospitals are
already filled to capacity and two
buildings have been taken over
by the government to be used
for the treatment of war work.
ers. Unfortunately the condi-
tion in Washington seems to be
a fair example of the situation
in overcrowded districts in many
other parts of the country, and
there is need for complete CO.
operation on the part Of the pub
lie authorities and people gener-
ally wherever the disease ap-
pears.
While the situation in certain
parts Of the country 10 undeniably
acute on account Of the large
number Of persons affected, for
tunately, in almost every in
stance the health authorities are
proving able to check the spread
of the disease shortly after its
appearance; moreover, the per-
centage of fatalities Is compara-
lively small. People should bear
in mind the fact, however, that
while there is no reason for any
great alarm or panic about the
matter, it is important for every
one to exercise unusual care as to
health and all should aid in every
possible way to prevent the
spread of the epidemic and to
combat it wherever it appears.
The most important precau-
tions against the disease are said
to be to avoid crowded conditions
and overeating. Coughing, sneez.
ing or expectoratihg in the pres
ence Of others is also dangerous,
since the disease is highly in
fictitious.

MARRIED WOMEN MAY TEACH

Married women may be en-

according to an opinion rendered
by the Attorney General of Ari-

In some of the States, the en-

prohibited. Owing to the short
age of teachers, movement is
on foot to repeal such laws, as
the country needs the services
of women in the work to which
they have been trained.
The attorney general states
that we have no law touching
