MT. c. H. Banks, County Agent,
 Newport, Arkansas. Dear Friend:
 I am writing to let you have an idea how our farmers stand in gen. eral in District No. ,.
 I find that every one is wiling to reduce his cotton crop and plant larger crops of feed stuff.
 I find that labor is very short and no way out, and therefore some far mers are over-cropping and as l was asked to report through the paper just how the sentiment was on the colored labor, 1 find fully 95 per cent of all classes of our farmers are will ing for the negroes to work on the farms in District and they want them now. If you can assist Tn any way to secure labor the farmers will appreciate it. Crops are very late and find no cotton planted and very little corn and lots of it will have to be planted over. If I can assist III any way, that you deem best in my district, let me know I remain yours truly,
 M B. Phariss.

The Presidents Amsver
to Germany

Replying to Germanys of date Oct II to Presi
dent Wilson's note of enquiry dated Oct the president
informs the Imperial German Government thru the
Swiss Legation in charge of German affairs in this
country as follows
That the process of evacuation and conditions of an
armstice must be left to the judgement and advice of
the military advisers of the United States and allied
governments and that arrangements be accepted
by the United States which does not provide absolutely
satisfactory safeguards and guarantees of the maintae
nance OF the present military supremacy of the armies
of the United States and the allies in the field that SO
long the armed forces of Germany continue the lille
ga and nhumane practices which they persist in neth
Ter the United States government nor he is quite sure
none of the governments with which government
socated in the will consent to consider armstce
that the nations associated against Germany cannot be
Expected to agree to cessation of while acts of
iinhumanity spoliaton and desolation being con.
ued that the strict attention OF Germany called to the
Language and plain intent Of of the terms of peace
which the German government has accepted as follows
"The destruction of every arbitrary power anywhere
that separately secretly and of its single choice dis
turb the peace of the world if it cannot be presently
destroyed at least its reduction to virtual impotency
THAT the power which has hitherto controlled the Ger.
man nation is of the sort here described 1t is within
the choice of the German nation to alter it, The pres
dents words just quoted naturally constitute condition
precedent to peace if peace is come by the action of
the German people themselves" The president further
declares again that it is indispensable that the gov
ernments associated against Germany should know be.
yond preadventure with whom they are dealing.
president will make separate reply to the Royal
and Imperial government of Austria Hungary.

Virgil Clavin

Virgil Clavin, oldest son oil
Mr.. and Mrs. James Clavir
north of town, followed his ia.
ther to the grave in a few days
and victim of the same disease
which claimed his father with
the addition of Spanish influenza.
Virgil Clavin was born May Ii
1898 and died at the home of
his mother October IL. Inter
ment at Indian Grove Monday,
Father Richardson conducting
burial rites.
The young man who was so
suddenly stricken was among
the choisest specimens of young
manhood in the county and pos
sessed of a splendid character.
His loss cannot be estimated for
his value to his home and COM
munity was growing greater.
To the bereaved mother and
brothers the deep sympathy of
the Courier is extended.

Harold BlakeIy

The son of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
Blakely of Guthridge Mills neigh
borhood, died Sunday morning at
Ft. Riley and reached this city
for burial yesterday. Measles
and pneumonia caused his death
according to report. He was a
fine young soldier boy and SINGER
est regret is expressed on every
side that he should have been
taken before realizing his ambi-
tion to fight for his country.
Funeral services were conduct
ed at his home yesterday after
noon at time of going to press.

THE EUROPEAN WAR
German Army Giving Way Gen
orally. Turkey Desires Peace
Germany Divided.

Whether voluntarily with.
drawing at points or being re-
pulsed along the entire western
front, it is true that the German
forces are being got out of
France. Belg dim is. being clear
ed of foes also and the universal
success at arms of the American
and allied forces warrant the
belief that France will soon be
free of Hun soldiers.
All the Ottoman empire ap-
pears to be ready to accept any
terms President Wilson may
offer. Austria-HGngary was
much disappointed at not get
ting note from President Will
son at the time he dispatched
his answer to Germany.
Germans are badly divided in
their country, it is reported, on
the question of peace, the peace
party gaining numbers hourly.
1t is confidently expected that
the reply of Germany to presi-
dent Wilson's ultimatum, and
acceptance of his terms, will be
received by the president in a
very few days. If revolt takes
place at Berlin as appears threat
ened, the morale of the German
army can be easily guessed and
the end of war Eseen without
glasses.

HOW 1T is.

If you have failed to get
your Courier the presumption
is that your name has been
taken from our list for failing
to pay in advance. We can
not mail a paper which has
not been paid for, therefore if
you want The Great Favorite
Weekly send us the subscrip-
tion rate and it will reach
you promptly. Otherwise, we
both lose out.

Arrested filing Mails

Lewis r. Id. has been
mail clerk bet Brunswick
and Omaha for years and
until a few weeks ago was one
of the most efficient and most
trusted among Uncle Sans en-
ployees. Letters containing
money bad been missed for some
time and the losses were traced
to Logsdon's run. Decoy let
ters were sent out by post
office inspectors and Thursday
morning of last week they board
ed his car at Brunswick and
caught him with the goods. He
confessed and was given a pre-
liminary hearing before commits
sloner Ruby Benecke who bound
him over to the federal court at
Hannibal the first Monday in
December. His bond for ap-
pearance was signed by the
best citizens Of Brunswick and
he could have made a bond for
almost any amount as well as
the $1,000 demanded.
Sicknes in his family, falling
behind gradually in meeting
living expenses induced the man
to raise funds in a way he despis-
ed and from the first letter from
which he extracted the cash to
the morning of his arrest, he
was sure he would get caught,
but like following one drink with
another, he did it and it got
him. Logsdon can no more ac-
count for his dishonest acts than
he can for having an appetite
but in handling letters it was
easy to detect those which con-
tanned money and easy to. get
the money from them and he
took what he knew was losing
chances of being caught and
punished. He has a family
who have the sympathy of all
and so does he himself retain
the kindest feelings of friends
who know how the dangerous
impulse gained a foothold in the
disposition of an honest man.
Out of this, soon or late, Logs
don will be worthy of confidence
The entire amount of his specu-
lation did not exceed perhaps
$50 or $40 from August to his
arrest.
