NEW DAY DAWNING
 FOR ARKANSAS FARMER

The rail fence is rapidly disappear ing in many sections of the state. Hundreds of miles of old rail fence are being replaced by wire fences, even at the present high price of wire. A few more fine crop years with high prices for the products of the farm will work great changes in the farms of Arkansas. Better fences, better homes and outbuild- ings, new barns, improved farm ma chinery, better stock-these are the results of prosperity when the ener- gies are properly directed by govern ment agencies. A new day is dawn ing for the Arkansas farmer.

THE AUTOMOBILE ON
 FARMS IN ARKANSAS

The progressive Arkansas farmer is not fully equipped these days un- less he has an automobile. It is an investment for him, vehicle that has become almost as great neces- sity as a modern cultivator or a tractor. It is for business first, and for pleasure next. He carries his produce to market, and he brings home the things he must buy in town. He saves time and money by the transaction. A few years ago the Sunday newspapers carried accounts of such things being done by the Kansas farmers. That was before many of the Arkansas farmers had gotten the habit. It was thought the roads would not permit it in this state. Then the use of the automo- bile forced upon the people the ne- cessity of doing what they knew they should have done years ago-build good roads. Now bikes are radiating into the country from every import ant city and town. And the town that has the most good roads is the town that gets the most country busi- ness.

AMERICAN DIVISIONS
REACH OBJECTIVES

With the American Army Of Occu-
pation.--The 'objectives Of the Ameri-
can army OF occupation were reached
Sunday at various points. Spreading
out like a great fan, the advanced
units Of the Americans took up their
positions along the boundary Of a 30
kilometer semi-circle pivoting on Cob
lenz.
The Thirty-second division is occu-
pying the bridsehead on the left, the
Second division comes next, while the
First division is on the right Of the
Second division. Two French divisions
are occupying a part of the bridge
head, their position being on the ex-
treme right Of the Americans.
AS the various detachments reached
the boundaries Of the bridgehead the
infantrymen marched into the towns
behind bands playing spirited Ameri.
can airs. In some instances the bands
gave concerts for the benefit OF the
natives while the infantrymen hustled
about looking for quarters.
The men Of the bridgehead force, as
they reached the limits of the great
arc during Sunday, began settling
down for a rest after their hike from
the battle line In France which began
Just four weeks ago. Different units
all along the line are in the occupied
villages. The officers are using pub
lie buildings as headquarters but are
being billeted in hotels and private
homes. The main body Of troops Is
encamped Just west of the bridgehead.

BIG WINTER WHEAT
CROP FORECASTED

Washington. huge winter wheat
crop, larger by 100000 bushels than
any yield in the history OF American
agriculture was forecast by the depart
ment of agriculture.
The governments appeal, made be-
fore the coming OF peace was in sight,
saying an acreage OF 47,500,000 was de-
sirable, and the guaranteed price Of
1920 a bushel for wheat, stimulated
extraordinary effort on the part OF
the farmers, said the departments an
nouncement. AS result, 49,027,00O
acres were planted during q long and
almost perfect season.
The fall growing season has been
one OF the finest ever known, result
ing in the crop being in the best con.
dition ever recorded on December /,
and giving promise Of heavy yields.
Washington showed the largest per
centage OF increase in winter wheat
acreage, 1t being 1876 with the acreage
$4,000. Iowa showed 100 per cent In
crease with 100000 acres. In Oregon
and California the condition Of the
crop was 100 and the increase In acre
age rs and AZ per cent respectively.

Now comes the Fuel Administra-
ton to bat with these burning
words Of wisdom:
"Only small quantities Of bitumi.
nous coal should be fired at one
time. Red hot coal should not be
smothered with fresh coal, as the
gases would be given off 80 rapidly
they would not be properly burned.
II possible, the volatile matter
from fresh coal should pass over
the glowing coal"
Very good, indeed. But what is
bothering most people is to acquire
enough volatile and elusive simole-
ons to exchange for this aforesaid
bituminous substance. They are
not in a financial position to btu
much or use it, you know.

Mars will sit invisibly at the
peace conference TO inspire the re-
dictionaries. To the extent that the
grim war god succeeds in modifying
or eliminating the fourteen cardinal
peace points set forth by President
Wilson, to that extent will the
great battle for world freedom have
been fought in vain. The great
powers represented at the peace
table must subordinate national in"
terest to international interest, and
especially must England relinquish
her command Of the sea in favor Of
an international navy. if the League
of Free Nations is to become any.
thing more than an altruistic
dream.

competition with both republican
and democratic candidates, The di'
minution Of the vote for socialist
candidates is difficult TO account
for. The general trend toward s"'
cialism is more marked than II was
two years ago, and there is more
talk of irrcconcilable radicaliSm
that refuses compromise short of
extreme socialism, II would seem
that there was more talk than
vote. Judging from the returns of
the recent election in Oregon.
