ARE WE SOFTHEADED?

Some homely thoughts for plain
people on the subject of treason and
pacifism:
? The government has taken your
boy and million other boys and
will send them out to face death in
hundred forms on ships or at the
battle front. A million lives or more
if necessary, to redeem our country
But an anarchist and would-be
assassin who for rs years has been
constant trouble maker may try
to stab his country in the heart and
escape with slap on the wrist.
So the government plans to take
a million lives, if need be, in an
offensive campaign, while it refuses
to sacrifice one life for a defensive
campaign.
There are $4,000 American army
officers, every one of whom offers to
give his life for you and me, and all
of whom must do it if need be.
But when one traitor officer is
found out in his viperish tricks OF
treason. our country fails to exact
even that one life, but sends him to
prison to be kept there at your ex-
pense.
You must buy ten million dollars
worth of Liberty Bonds between now
and the 4th of July. That's part of
the money price you pay for war.
But the Bryan type of pacifist, who
hn Int
preparing itself for war after the
war began in 1914, has taxed you
fully half of this amount And the
pacifist still goes scott free.
You eat war bread, but you may
not say a cross word to the pro-
German whose kaiser brought upon
you all of this trouble.
You have no coal, or pay a huge
price for what you get, but the
conscientious objector" who skulks
out of the army by the back door
will insult you with his copperhead
talk about perhaps we are wrong
after ALL
We have sent thousands of collins
to France against the day they will
be needed to enclose all that is left
of so many courageous men. But
when a traitor at heart is fired from
a club we hear a lot of mawkish
sentiment about this being a free
country.
True. as Francis Scott Key wrote
104 years ago. this is the land of
the free and the home of the brave
Does that necessarily make it Che
haven of assassins and the rendez
vous of spies?

King to Renew Campaign for Funds
For Protection of Soldiers

to eliminate the dangers of such
association. This has been done
with marked success in all army
cantonments, but it cannot go on
unless the citizens raise the funds.
The cantonment cities are asked
to give one third of the cost, and
the country at large the balance.
Every section is interested, for 1t has
many young men in training that
will be protected by this fund.
In some sections of the state no
effort has yet been made to raise
a portion of this fund. but all
counties will be visited before Mr..
King leaves the state. The counties
that have not filled their quota will
be again visited and Mr.. King. or
some volunteer in the work will
make it very plain that the govern
ment insists upon a response in full,
and that it is not patriotism on the
part of the county if 1t fails to
respond
This call comes from the War and
Navy Departments, just as the Lib
erty Loan and w. S. S. is asked for
by the Treasury department, and
Secretary Baker declares the funds
will do no good unless the men are
kept in a condition to fight and can
be rushed to Europe without further
loss in training.

FARM DEMONSTRATION
Soy Beans

Soy Beans
Have you made plans to grow a
sufficient amount of forage crops
for your hogs this year. Do not
forget that the government has
asked Arkansas farmers to increase
the hog production by 100000 head.
/ know that the farmers in Lee
county want to do their part in this
movement. However, to grow hogs
successfully in this county or in any
other county in the state. it is neces-
sary to produce hog forage.
One of the best crops which can
be grown for grazing hogs is soy
beans. 1t has been shown by ex-
pertinent that the cost of producing
an increase in weight may be reduc-
ed from one half to three fourths
by the use of this crop.
The Alabama experiment station
has made a number of experiments
on the feeding value of soy beans.
Results from these experiments show
ed:
1. When the pigs were fed on
corn alone II look otZ pounds Oh
corn to produce 100 pounds of flesh.
2 When the pigs were fed on
one fourth of ration of corn and
were allowed to run on a soy bean
pasture. it took only 81 pounds of
corn to produce 100 pounds of flesh.
In this latter case an acre Of soy
beans was equivalent to an acre of
corn yielding 43.3 bushels.
Soy beans are quite similar in
their nature to COW peas, but they
have an advantage over COW peas in
that they are more resistant to frost
and yield a larger amount of grain.
Sow beans may be planted about
the same time that corn is planted
or about one month earlier than COW
peas. They are ready for grazing
from 80 to 12O days after planting.
If soy beans are planted on April
first. they will be ready for use for
the hogs by July or August.
Some of the farmers have, had diff
ficulty in getting stand of this
crop. This has been due in many
The courier-index., 1918-03-15

cases to the ground packing on the
soy beans and the plants breaking
off as they were trying to push
through the soil crust. This may
be overcome largely by planting the
beans at depth not to exceed two
inches. When this is done one is
not likely to experience the diff
Guilty of poor stand.
1t is about one month before this
crop should be planted, but seeds
are scarce this year and therefore
those who are planning on raising
soy beans should buy their planting
seed right away.

Due to lack of appreciation of the
necessity of the work of the War
Camp Community Service many
counties of Arkansas have failed to
heed the call of the War and Navy
Departments of the United States
government for assistance in carry
ing on this system of protection for
the soldier in training. To show the
people of Arkansas that they are in
earnest in the matter, and that money
must be Forthcoming, Secretary Bak.
er and Secretary Daniels have in
~structed w. A. King. their special
representative, to remain in Arkansas
until the funds are raised.
Arkansas is now the only state
that has not raised its quota, and
many communities have refused to
see in the War Camp Community
Service anything but scheme for
Fairgrounds and recreation, declaring
the soldiers are in need of nothing
CT the kind, and there are things of
much greater Importance that de-
n1and their attention. Here is where
they are wrong, and Gov. c. Fl.
Brough has appeared before several
bodies to forcibly present the case
of the War Camp Community Service
He states that it is more imperative
than any OF the war activities, for IL
is the sole agency that looks aftei
the morals of the men and giveS
them wholesome employment When
they are off duty, thus preventing
the men falling into pitfalls that Turk
in all cantonement cities for the idle
soldier. ,
The War Camp Community Service
grew out of visit Secretary Baker
made to England to inspect the
training camps there. He decided
that the soldiers of the United
States should never be subjected to
the evils which beset the young
Englishmen. and the War Camp
Community Service was created, |
working under what is known as
the FOsdick Commission. So great |
a factor has this work become In

the young soldier is human, and I'M
