The Professional Nassers.

Americans must support the wal
and the president of the United States is
now a rule of conduct bred into the people
by he people with a degree of complete
ness that o have been unbelievable
a year ago.
Yet there are curious degrees and
gradations Of feelings running through
this unanimfty. And the most curious
class ie that which favors the war, hates
Germany, loves America and yet takes a
gloomy pleasure in disliking Mr.. Wilson
personally. These people are by no means
to be confused with those who dislike the
president because they are pro-German,
pro-peace. anti-English or in other ways
unpatriotic. These latter gentlemen are
of the kim who are touched upon the
shoulder by a government officer and
shipped off to ~Leavenworth.
h anti-Wilsoners who are really inter-
esting psychologically are those who are
anti through the very strength Of the pro-
warism. For them there is no balm in
Gilead. II the administration does badly
on any point of war management, they
are 80 savagely delighted to get a peg for
criticism that they forget to be whole
heartedly 4mournful for the country's
sake. II the administration does well in
another direction. they are so Jealous lest
Wilson get praise for 1t that they can
have in 1t no pleasure for the country's
sake.
These men are against Wilson person
ally to such an extent that they almost
grudge seeing Germany beaten. because
the victory would accrue to the glory of
Woodrow.
In plain words. this old anti-wilsonism

practice of nagging.

Kramer Says: 'Eatonic'' Rids Weak Stonachs Of
Acids, Gas, Heartburn, Food Repeating
and Stomach Miserics

What miserable feelings are caused
by an upset stomach! That dull,
heavy, "bloated' sensation that follows
a full meal, robs good living Of half
its pleasures. Is there any way out
for you sufferers with stomach weak
ness?
Yes; H. L. Kramer, the man who
originated Cascarets, has found o sure,
quick, relief for indigestion, dyspepsia,
''sour stomach" HEARTBURN, formation
Of painful gases, "bloating," ETC., etc.
He calls his stomach relief EA-
TONIC. and IT certainly is making a
wonderful record. Countless thous-
ands of people who formerly APP
preached their meals with dread, now
eat their fill of their ~favorite foods
without fear Of the after-effects.

E. E. Holmes, who is spoken of in
the very highest terms by his neigh
bors, is very anxious to get a large
commercial orchard started on his
farm. Not having sufficient capital,
he proposes to take the city people,
especially the working classes, into
partnership with him. They are to
pay him five cents a day and he will
furnish the land and trees, set the
latter out prune and care for them,
cultivate and fence the land, until
they come into bearing, after which
they can care for the trees and own
the land, or he will continue to care
for them for one-half of the fruit. He
will buy a sprayer and improved ma
chinerv and is almost sure to make
a success of it, as this section, on his
own and adjoining farms, has proven
to be the best apple country in Ark
ansas. l wish to recommend to my
town and city readers that each of
them try to interest few of their
neighbors to form a club and take an
acre each on this plan. believe it
will be a great success and each fam
lily can surely save a nickel aday ,on
fruit alone, until their own acre home
orchard comes in when they can revel
i'll rich, ripe, luscious apples from
their own orchard. Remember, "An
apple a day will keep the doctor
away and an onion day will keep
everybody away"

TREASURE TRovE?

Passing this place about 200 yards
I found a rock in the center OF the
road, which looked like land mark,
The Pulaskian. (Pulaski Heights [Little Rock], Ark.) 1915-1929, 1918-03-29

but | am informed it Is not. The
rock is about ten inches from base to
apex and forms a perfect A. The
cross mark is raised about one and
one-half inches above the main rock
and from its center down extends
stem forming with the cross of the A
a perfect T, the top and stem Of the t
being about one inch and a half wide
and of the same depth. The rock
may be natural, or artificial and in
dictate the location of rich mine or
treasure. If you dig about be sure
and leave it where and as it is so
others can see it.
Going on / passed Webb's saw Mill
and a. vacant house, took the right
hand and came to w. H Guffy's. Mrs.
Guffey told me their peaches were
not killed. Then l passed an empty
house and farm, then another one.
The field was grown up in wild
standing and in very good condition.
The peach trees were ruined, but the
pear trees were f1ourishing like green
bay trees. l have long ago concluded
if you want to raise pears success
fully in this country that you must
just plant them and as soon as they
get to growing good let them grow
wild In the far, or northwest cor
nerso of this field, was a school house.
The new roof, fresh pile of fat pine
wood and the writing on the black
board all showed this to be a live
school, A little further on was an
other abandoned farm. The grass
was a solid sod and it looked like a
prairie. Another quarter of mile
brought me to another vacant farm.
The doors of the house and potato
house were fastened with pad locks.
The plum trees were in bloom, but
the fences were all falling down.
Nearby a Johnny jump-up was bloom
ing modestly. Service berry trees are
also in bloom and flocks of robin red
breasts are to be seen, so spring must
be here. But Thursday morning the
thermometer was down to freezing.
Two miles and a half of walking
brought me to A. w. Links home or
the mountain. The road had ascend
ed SO gradually up a ridge that |
scarcely realized | was going up SO
high, but Mr. Link informed me that
the elevation was 1850 feet. This
place is away off to itself. He had
followed saw milling all his life, but
sickness and death in his family
caused him to settle here and then
abandon saw milling. He thought he
might starve, but he has done better
than he ever did before. He has q
small orchard, with his cows, hogs,
etc, and a small field of wheat and
he really expects to raise his own
biscuits this year, but he has been
raising some wheat every year and
other farmers in Arkansas will surely
have to do the same thing.
| have struck the virgin timber
here and the pine woods, with none
of the big trees yet cut, look awful
good to me. I can see long ways
beneath the tall pines, for they are
not surrounded with brush as is the
cut over lands.

tiers knew where there was a tree
with a big open hollow in it and he
backed into it continuing to hold his
knife extended through the opening.
Either the panther knew what knife
was, or the light reflected from the
blade awed it, for it was afraid of it.
1t continued to walk around the tree
until an hour or two before daylight
when it took its departure. Waters
remained in the hollow until good
day, when he came out cautiously.
He found that the panther had walk
ed around the tree so continuously
that it formed plain trail.

after mountain, including Flatside and

country can be reached by rail to
either the camp or Thornburg via the

Another interesting place | visited
was the Fourche River Timber Camp.

calling it a town, but the inhibitants,
all from the superintendent down
would correct me with the informa-
ton that 'the camp" had about 200
inhabitants or was a good sized

might be called cars. The commits

The company pays off twice a
month, on which occasions it issues
about three hundred and fifty pay

the woods. School is kept going ten
months in the year and is kept UP
by public contributions. The company
employs Rev. E. E. Holmes, who had
to leave the Dakotas on account of
his health. to teach it. Mr.. Holmes
stands high with all who know him.
Labor conditions are fine and near
ly all crews are kept full. They cut
about 100000 feet a month. This
company has bought the timber on
the U. S. Forest Reservation. 1t is
required to pile the brush and protect
the young timber and is only allowed
to cut trees over fourteen inches in
diameter breast high. The tram road
is being extended down into Pulaski
county as far as D. J. Boyett's, where
it will be until September. This camp
is located in the center of Section %,

l must digress here to moralize.
Jack Mcdonald had the best wheat
have seen. His neighbor, jape Bo-
shears, owns a small thresher and
other farmers near by have wheat
The excuse others give for not sowing
are various, but the main one is that
there are no threshers. If the farm
ers will SOW wheat they can club to-
gether and get a small one, provided
none of their neighbors will buy one.
Another thing l noticed on this
trip is that nearly every abandoned
place I passed, had growing and -four
ishing few pear trees and the neigh
bors tell me they bear well, yet as
rule all the other trees of the orchard
would be dead or worthless. People
are very anxious to have pear trees.
so they take every possible care OF
them, prune and cultivate them well,
with the result that they all die be-
fore maturing their first crop. They
should be taken care of until they
get started to growing and il you
want pears, then let them grow wild.
The yard is a good place to plant
them where they will be trampled
around Jabe Boshears understands
this, so he left a place in front of his
house, where he planted them and one
of them was a beauty. filled as IT was
with white blossoms.
| have gone into details about the
vacant places I passed in just part
of one days walk, so my city readers
can see that while homes and living
are hard to get in town, they are
going a begging in the country, also
so that our government officials may
realize that it is up to them to pass
laws that will put homeseekers on
these vacant farms, or else the food
question win become yet more alarm
