this it will have to continue to

these gentlemen cannot escape with
so much Of the spoil of The war as

posed to any such proceedings. The
Republican party is largely dom

Penrose and Roosevelt Just simply
cannot bear to see their friends, the
large capitalists, pay such heavy
taxes. Therefore these leaders in
the Republican party have deter

taxes Of this sort in 1920. This
means that great deal more Of the

US directly to another war similar t

time wish to point out another way
in which they are acting that is con

Ihe roots Of this action extend

to the censorship Of tie press and the
suppla i OF freedom Of speech
ana aa5sl5iage, those Of us who
were most interested in preserving
tie rights OF the people in general
had. a. opportunity to give warning
il any eH ective manner. 1t rests In
the raising OF the funds to carry on
Tie var by the sale Of bonds and
stamps rather than by taxation
alone. The reason given for the
sale Of bonds and stamps instead o.
raising more taxes was, Of course
that we could not bear the burden
OF SO much taxation all at once; tC
the unthinking this reason seems
plausible. But as matter OF fact
1t had no validity whatever. Let me
explain a little here. It must be
evident 10 everyone that, since VIC
did not buy anything from foreign
countries with which to carry on the
war, we must have produced it all
ourselves. Whatever food, clothing

used in the war were taken from the

RED CROSS PLEDGES
ARE NOW ALL DUE

Pledges to the Red Cross war
fund, which were made in July
and were to be paid monthly,
are now all due and Mrs. T.
Y. Williams, president of the
local auxiliary, asks the TeIe-
graph to call attention to this
fact and urge all who have out
standing pledges to see her at
once and pay in the amount of
their pledge. If more convent
ent the money may be paid in
to Chas. N. Trimble at the w.
j. Johnson & Co. store.
$402.44 was pledged to this
fund in the campaign made in
July and, while some have paid
in full, there are others who
have not made their first pay
ment. 1t is too much to ex-
pect those having the campaign
in charge to hunt contributors
up to collect these amounts and,
therefore, all who subscribed
should pay in the amount at
once so that a final report may
be made. =

A LETTER TO FARMERS
or HEMPSTEAD COUNTY
Good Start Half the Battle
Prepare Your Ground for
SOIUiHg Wheat.

[ want to urge the farmers
who have pledged themselves
to plant wheat this fall to pre-
pare their land now. To get
the best results it is important
to have a good seed bed and to
plant wheat this month.
Wheat Planted in soil that is
provided with the right kind of
plant food will produce the
best yield, just as young live
stock fed on a balanced ration
will make the best gain in
weight. 1t is therefore neces-
sary, according to the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture, to supply the elements of
plant food which are not avail
able in sufficient quantity in
the soil.
Stable or barnyard manure is
of great benefit when added to.
the soil sown to wheat. 1t sup
plies humus by decay Of the or
ganic matter and contains nj
trogen and potassium, some
times in considerable amount.
When barnyard or other rotten
manure is not available, and
plant refuse such as straw and
stubble is not returned to the
soil the growing of suitable
green manure crops is impera-
tive in order to maintain soil
fertility. On comparatively
few farms is there enough rot
ten manur to take the place of
green manure altogether, al
though by returning the plant
refuse to the soil less of the
green manure will need be
grown than when no returns
are made. By proper care of
the plant residues and the use
of green manure crops, princi-
pally the legumes, fertility can
be maintained as cheaply and
as effectively as with the use of
large amounts of rotten manure
only. Corn fields which have
been kept clean and well cul-
tivated will make ideal wheat
fields and will require a min
imum amount of preparation
to put them in ideal condition
for sowing wheat. Such field
should be well disced.
Arkansas is expected to plant
100000 acres to wheat. Hemp
stead county has already pied
ged 5000 acres, with more dis
tricts to hear from, whereas 400
to 500 acres would cover all
that was planted last season.
We are proud of this showing.
Let's keep up the good work
and be there at the finish.
want to take this opportu-
nifty to thank the farmers who
are cooperating with us in this
undertaking and ask them to
keep it up.
LET HEMPSTEAD COUN-
TY FEED HERSELF!

TO BUILD BASlLIcA.

From the commencement of the

project of building at Jerusalem a

Toulouse, France, and resulted in
the solemn formulation Of the wow"

NOTED enthusiastically by a larger
public, since the conquest Of the
Holy City opens the way to its reali-

DELINQUENTS ARE GIVEN
UNTIL OCT. 10 TO REPORT

this week the Hampstead count
ty Council of Defense urges
that those who are delinquent
in the county take advantage of
/ the opportunity offered in a re-
cent proclamation from the
governor and report themsel-
yes for military service. The
time for which these may re-
port without having to pay the
penalty has been extended to
Oct. 10th. The communication
follows:
Help blot out the disgrace of
being classed as a delinquent or
a deserter.
Gov. Brough recently issued
a proclamation setting Sept. 80
as the final date upon which all
registrants who have not yet
answered the call of their Lo-
cal Boards may appear Tor eX-
animation or induction. That
there may be no injustice done
for lack of sufficient notice, this
has been extended to Oct. 10th.
The records of the Adjutant
General show that there is a to-
tai of 4,721 in Arkansas who
come within that class. Print
ed lists are being sent to all Lo-
cal Boards may appear for eX-
and newspapers, so that the
widest possible publicity may
be secured, and everybody be
given a chance to report and
clear his record.
The lists include registrants
who have failed to file their
Questionnaires; to appear for
physical examination, or other
wise failed to comply with the
lSelective Service Law.
All the machinery of the De-
bartment of Justice and other
sgencies are being invoked to
lpprehend every deserter and
Stacker registrant in the states
boundaries.
Each member of the State
Council, of the various County
0uncils and the 1000 or more
Community Councils should
fel sense of personal respon-
silility in detecting deserters
in, every community.
Investigate the status of any
STANCE man in uniform whose
pfence is not fully accounted

mss, he will have evidence to
esablish the fact. A desesrter
usahy seeks a neighborhood

Any deserter from the army
sould be delivered at once to
military post for disposition,
nd any draft deserter should
e reported or delivered to the
ocal agent of the Department
,f Justice. A reward of $50 is
paid for any army deserter.
A registrant who, after the
line set for his induction into
service, and with in
.ent to evade such service, fails
% report for military duty,
'ails to entrain for mobilization
amp subject to order, or who
lbsents himself from his party
