MR. HFNLEY'S BUSI-
 NESS ANNOUNEMENT

wish to make this explana- tion to my customers and friends.
 I have been in business in my present location about four years. have made a careful study of the business and will say that 1 have had the pleasure of doing a splendid and a very satisfactory business.
 The prices of everything Tn the mercantile line have advanc- ed. We are in the midst of the greatest war the world has ever known and the time has come for us to begin to think. We must make our dollars do their duty. The government is con- stantly asking us to hold our prices down. This is an im- possibility, that is if we mer- chants keep up our delivery as heretofore, and also do the ticket business that we are now doing, a business that no bank will loan on its paper. Our busi- ness has been good and we have been as careful as we think any merchant could be about whom we sell and charge and on a close investigation we find that at least 121a per cent of our gross sales went to pay for the delivery of the goods to our town customer, and the bad debts that we have made. This is not doing our country friends fair. they come to town and haul their goods home with no ex- pense to us whatever. and they pay the same price that the cus- toner in m does that has their go lsn from 5d TT best to give satlSl ar town customers, who we will de- liver to, in orders of $5 or more.
 We are going to|sell the goods so that it will paH<you to call and pay for yodr goods and carry them home1
 Saturday, february 2. will be the last dayl that we will run our delleryw wagon. Remem- ber this and call on us and see if our prices will not justify you in carrying your goods home. And want to say to my farm ] CT friends and customers that I want you to get our prices be- fore buying. We will save you money.
 Thanking you for the past favors and patronage and hoping to see you often in the future. Yours for business,

PERSONAL TO MONROE COUNTY FARMERS

Just now the farmers of Monroe county are snow bond and are setting their resides Pm addressing this message hoping that it may bear fruit.
 Tn first place there time in the history of the American farmers the top just and particularly is this true of the Southern farmer
 Within the past months Uncle Sam has grappled the throat of the great thereby saving the arc millions of dollars And all down the ine South en farmers rapidly io their if they could but
 But the farmers many of the pre- pared to profit the wonderful about break them The of Monroe this unfortunate class They their families and will be for months to virtually imprisoned and their efficiency half into because of lack of real roads.
 The United States Government says them
 BUILD PERMANENT ROADS, we'll send expert road build
 CTS engineers to you FREE OF COST to show you how
 the progressive people of other states and counties
 of Arkansas organizing and building roads,
 in addition to this will GIVE you many thousand
 dollars per mile of road build out of the U Funds
 to assist you building these roads BUILD REAL ROADS,.
 This is the message Government you farmers of Monroe county you and families who have to from not having roads and since you and your families from having them looks to that YOU should wake up ACT NOW demand the building of per manent roads at once.
 remember well the first county road meeting held in Monroe counyit called in Brnkleyneary twenty ago largely attended crowd of big land from the (the fellows hundreQS ana thousands of and who let it mostly farm tenants oppose and kill the plan of issuing bonds to build Their ingenious plea then it that would ruin the pol man who lives on the farm. "
 The farmers living the farms have unwlngy listened such foolish deception hoodwinked into opposing the building roads while the big land grabbers and owners living and ces with convenience and protection and their families continue to buy thousands land tenant with tenants
 The farmers living the farms must be satisfied with oboes founder thro roads If they their families get sick physician medicine needed several hours usually required the relief possibly be had if at a So church. school and social privledges and
 any the young and of the farm turn their farm and want the towns and cities
 This say is BLOOD which the farmers of Monroe county living paying and the of which shameful to contemplate

 It takes money buy roads with The u S. Government example by issuing bonds raise to carry on this with government begging the farmers to progressive methods for real efficiency ill order MAKE and the money that be paid by each and every citizen to win this with.

WARNS AGAINST FRAUD
 BN FRUIT TREE AGENT
Iauneil of Defense Urges Patronage of State Nurseries-Al!ege Deceit Practieed.

The sidte Council If Defense through it's county and community system, k warning farmers against Il fraudulent practcc that has been re ported. II k said that in Miller. l Clark Conway Faulkner and other counties fruit tree agents have been | perpetrating frauds to such an extent that C. W Watson. state agent: !. A. Hughes. hOrticulturist of the Missouri l Pacific railroad. and l. Lee Hewitt. secretary of the State Plant Board, | have appealed to the State Council f0y assistance in Supprcsing the frauds. | Wherever it iS possible to secure di- rect and positive evidence, the cases will be referredto the state or federal authorities
 In certain counties agents are re ported to have represented themselves as United States government men who have been sent cut to encourage orchard planting. This k fraudulent as the government does not permit its agents to sell or take orders for nur- >cry stock.
 Probably the greatest hoax is that perpctrated by the agents who take samples of soil and pretend to send them in for analysis to determine what varieties of fruit trees should be planted This practice k con demned as fraudulent by reputable horticnlWriStS and chemists.
 Another widely practiced fraud iS the offer in which, for the first pur- chase price of the trees. the agent agrees tO care for, spray and prunc the trees for a given period It k re ported that in one county agents have agreed to send n spraying machine and have contracted for forty times its capacity
 The selling and delivering of nurs- cry stock without proper Arkansas state inspection certificates may be taken aS prima facia evidence of fraud In one county the fraudulent sales are said to have amounted to SGo,000. and in several they amount to Sf0.u00. The fraudulent representa- tions are usually verbal, and seldom written, and therefore more ii cult to prosecute.
 While conforming these practices and warning the people against them. the council advocates the purchase wherever possible, of nursegg stock grown in the state. because they an, subject to state laws and are under control and supervision

HOLLAND CLAIMS
RIGHT TO GRANT
WILHELM REFUGE
Demand For EXtradition Must
Pass Test of Law and
Treaty
By .4ssocicted Press

The Hague, Dec. 12.-The former
German Emperor is entitled to the
right of sanctuary in Holland and,
therefore, his return to Germany
cannot be demanded, according to q
statement made yesterday by Jonk-
heer Beerenbruck in the lower Cham
ber of Parliament during a debate
on the visit of the former Emperor
to Holland.
The Premier said the government
would have preferred that the former
Emperor had not chosen Holland as
refuge, but that he came as q pri-
vato individual after renouncing his
throne, without direct or indirect
notification of his intended arrival.
After remuneration of his throne,
Jonkheer Beerenbruck continued,
there could not be a question of in
ternment, nor could the former En-
peror's return to Germany be de-
manded in view of the immem orial
tradition of right of sanctua"v. The
Netherlands gouornment could adopt
no line of conduct but that of grant
ing "the right of sanctuary" and uc-
cep;ing it as . fact accom- plished.
Holland Claims Neutrality
The government, the Premier con-
tinued, must repudiate every effort
TO see in this step an unneutral atti-
tude. Nevertheless, he said, the one
time Emperor's stay in Holland was
only regarded as temporary. Up to
the present no power had protested
against his visit, but any eventual de-
mand for eXtradition must pass the
test of law and of treaty. The gov
ernment, the Premier continued,
would not allow the former Emperor
to exercise any influence in another
country.
William Hohenzollern crossed :he
Dutch frontier from Germany No
vember 10. His formally issued no.
tice of abdication was made and
executed and signed by our own hand
with the imperial seal at Amerongen,
November 2S." Amerongen is in Hol-
land, and. therefore, the former En-
peror had been in that country ninc-
teen days when he formally aid
down the scepter and relinquished
the throne.

Ex-Kaiser's Crimes Play
Big Part in Elections
Br Associaled Prctf

London, Dec. ~. - The British
campaign is becoming keener with the
near approach of election day. Elec-
tion experts maintain their prediction
that the coalitionists will be returned
by a substantial majority.
The subjects which appear to in
terest the electors most are (:
Who is going to pay for the war?
VIII conscription be abolished?
VIII the former Emperor and the
Crown Prince be tried for their
crimes2
VIII the perpetrators of tortures on
prisoners be brought to justice2
OF the noncoalitionist parties, labor
probably Is making the biggest effort.
1t declares the coalitionist assurance
that conscription will cease is hypo-
critical. II maintains also that the
private capitalist system has broken
down and cites a recent government
statement that state control of the
railways during the war saved the
country many millions as an argu-
ment in favor of national ownership
and control of industry.
