Soused, by Gum.

Three dozen excited women and
children rushed up to a cop the
other day on H street, and asked
him to come down to where one of
them lived and arrest a murderer.
A man armed with a big pistol
had entered the house and was 60
ing to put it in mourning, they
said.
The cop went-and after a few
minutes search he dragged out a
man, with a pair OF shiny bicycle
handle-bars in his hand.
1t wasn't anyone but Jim For
sythe. And he is about as harm
less as a kitten
Jim was on his way to the bicycle
shop. but met mp with his old
friend John Barleycorn. and the
two had q glorious time together.
Away down the street Jim saw
two cops coming. and he was sober
enough to know that he would be
nabbed.
So he ducked into the first house
he saw.
The women and children hollor-
ed. They didn't know who Jim
was and the bicycle handle-bars
looked like g gun to them.
When the cop got to the box.
he used up every cuss word he
could think OF and then some.
Just for that another charge was
placed against him and IL he hasn't

FOR The POULTRY
GROWER

Fowls. like pigs, do the best and
make the most rapid growth all
through the summer season. If plenty
of tender green feed is provided, says
a writer. Even in towns and villages
where there Is plenty of space, this
green feed can be provided in album
dance for the poultry. 1t is, however,
ON the farms, both large and small,
and where large flocks of fowls are
kept. that this green feed should be
provided.
AS the fowls are, or should be, ex-
Guided from the gardens and truck
patches at all seasons, some other spot
must be used for providing the green
feed. The two crops to SOW period
ically are rape and oats. Many poul-
try breeders provide these, but make
only one sowing and that about April
and May. Repeated sowings for a
regular succession of fresh, tender
stuff is recommended.
AS the early sowing of both oats
and rape is now growing scarce and
getting tough replow the ground and
resow again in August. The larger
the young chickens get, the more they
will eat Of such tender green feed and
as II Is both cheap and healthful, the
more expensive feeds are saved.
The idea Is to produce mature poul.

minimum of expense, and the work

A Final Call to The People of Lonoke
 And Prairie Counties

AS last warning to yon thru the press of your county, I an asking you to heed the following; Assemble yourselves at your respective churches and school houses, Sunday November 10th Call for any man you prefer to address you at that meeting You can have any speaker you wish.
 At this meeting, secure pledges from every one in audi ence, for the Great War Work Fund, and provide competent canvassers to reach every one in your districts during the follow ing week.
 Do not think that if the war closes soon, these funds will not be needed, for they will be more needed than ever. It will take two years after the war closes to get our boys home and during that time they will have to be properly cared for; the sick and wounded saved from death: the hungry soldiers provided with food; the crippled with nurses and medicine. They must all be entertained now more than ever, for they will either be in camps or used in police duties on the continent of Europe. The rotten monarchies of Europe are falling to pieces and to save these gov. ernm ents from destruction our soldiers must remain for long time. Will you let moral leprosy destroy our boys by denying them the care of the Red Cross. the religious instructions of the Y. M. c. A., or the proper over sight of the War Camp Commu- nifty Service?
 You have never been asked to give anything for the comfort and moral protection ot our boys before and we are assuring you that 1t is now more needed than ever, SC every man. woman and child in this district give till it hurts, and 1 promise you that you will not have to feel the re- mainder of your lives feeling of shame. for neglect of your duty, but when it is all over, you can feel that you did all that you could in this great work of rebuilding empires, which are going to Eieces under our eyes, and that will be reward enough to make you happy in life and contented in death.
