ID YOU KNOW,TH|S
 |s CLEAN WEEK?

It is not a pleasant thing to relate, but the city of Newport is in need of a general cleanup, such as all house. keepers are forced to undergo at the proper season.
 Cur streets are strewn with paper. straw and rubbish, flying from one side to the other, and even into yards.
 Front street especially attracts the notice, with unswept sidewalks and unclean gutters on Sundays.
 A great deal of this pride rests with the individual citizen. It is the individual that forms the whole coll lectively and moulds public senti- ment.
 Half dozen live citizens can make this clean town. It is true we are quite busy just now with war work, such as war savings stamps, Liberty Bonds, Red Cross work etc, but for the sake of civic pride, stop long enough to clean up your premises clean out rubbish from the alleys and behind the buildings, all of which will add to the looks of our city.

VISITS STATE FARM.
Editor Independent:

Editor Independents:
 Saturday night returned from Garner, where I went on business. and while there took advantage of tho opportunity to run over to the Cum mins state farm, of which our for mer fellow-t w-townsman, John McCuis- tion is superintendent. z I was agreeably surprised to find such splendid farm. Mir. McCuis- tion certainly is to be commended for the manner in which he has brought the place out. It is in perfect condi- ti n. There are 4,5O0 acres in culti- vation, and of this acreage 2,500 are planted to foodstuff, and from the present outlook I believe there will be more stuff than they will be able to gather. Cotton is coming up and it looks splendid. The whole farm looks like one big garden.
 I visited the wards and found them sanitary. The cooking is first class, and as good as anyone should desire. I talked privately with several pris- oners knew, and they all said they were receiving fine treatment in ev-l cry manner-had all they wanted to eat, enough work to keep them busy, and good place to sleep.
 There is splendid discipline among the men, so good, in fact, that the men say there is hardly more than one whipping week.
 It will pay anybody to visit the Cummins farm and acquaint himself with the extraordinary prison sys-8 tenn our state has established.
 Yours truly,
 w. c. McDougald.

gium, France, England and Italy, and the causes which compelled Americd to enter the struggle for the preser- vation of civilization, Christianity and democracy. He outlined in a masterly manner the system of our country in handling all the affairs of the government including the three issues of Liberty Loan Bonds,, mak- ing this subject clear to some of his hearers who had not thoroughly un- derstood it before. He made a prac- tical illustration of the reason why this third issue should be promptly oversubscribed by telling story of a wounded American soldier in the trenches lover there" asking how are they progressing at home with the "Third Liberty Loan?" Will you send him message in answer to this question saying "it is failure?" A chorus of voices from the audience shouted, "No." MT. Wheeler con- c,uded his address with an appeal to all loyal citizens to buy Liberty Bonds," "War Savings Certificates" and to get in line with the adminis- tration on all subjects that we may do our part in helping to win the war.
 Dr. H. F. Vermillion, president of the Mountain Home college, was on the program for an address, but un- fortunately his train was late and he did not arrive in time. In order not to disappoint the hundreds of people who were eager to hear him, he con- sented to make a fifteen minute talk, and in this short time he touched the tender chords and made to burn brighter the already glowing fires of patriotism in the hearts of the au- dience.
 Captain George A. Hillhouse, coun- ty chairman of the Third Liberty Loan organization, was called upon and made a short address on Liberty Bonds and outlined the duties of the various committees and called upon the citizens for their hearty cooper ation in helping to send Jackson county "Over the Top" in the first four days of the drive"
 When the orchestra struck the first e+roipc of stThe Star Spangled Ban- ner" the audience arose and sang the national anthem in manner which would strike terror to the forces of tyrany and oppression.
 Rev. J. w. Gardner pronounced the benediction and the crowd dispersed while the choir sang, "Let's Get the Kaiser With Liberty Bond" The sales committees report favorable progress in the sale of bonds in the county.

It was desig. mated as a legal holiday and was fittingly observed all over the United States. It was also celebrated ir France and England, where the American ambassadors were guests of honor at the meetings.
 The city of Newport, always in the front ranks on occasions of this kind held one of the greatest patriotic rallies on record. Long before the hour set for the opening the court room at the county court house was crowded with patriotic citizens, ready and eager not to do their bit but to do their utmost
 The meeting was called to order by Chairman Claude M. Erwin and open ed with the singing of America by the audience, followed by an invocation by Rev. J. w. Gardner.
 Much credit for the success of the meeting was due to Mrs. Maude Reamey and her choir of Community Singers" and Charles Sartorius, the we'll known violinist, who led the music.
 The following local singers render ed solos which were well received and loudly applauded.
 George H. Banks sang Long Boy" and made a great hit. Miss Adeline Pate sang Liberty Bell" Mrs. G. A. Hillhouse, "Sons of America" Mrs. Adam Lockard, Keep the Home Fires Burning" also "We Are Going Over;" Arthur Umsted, "Just a Baby's Prayer At Twilight" Mrs. C.. F. Randy sang, Good Bye Germany" and the National Liberty Bond An them," and the Community Choir sang several popular patriotic songs, including, "Over There" and Let's Get the Kaiser With Liberty Bond"
 The principal speaker of the day, Eustace C. Wheeler of St. Louis, was introduced by the chairman and was greeted with long and loud applause. He paid a well-deserved compliment to the chairman and the committee in charge of the exercises, saying that he wasn't needed here on this occasion but as he had been ordered here by the general committee, he had obeyed
 rders and was here to do his duty as agood soldier. MT. Wheeler re- viewed the conditions leading up to the war, the early part of the con- flict, the noble parts taken by Bel

SUMMARY IF
 WAR ACTIVITY
Germans Are Nibbling At the Allied Line In An Effort to Locate
 Weak Spot.
Associated Press Dispatch.

| New York, April 8.-Checked at
 most points on the front from Arras
 to Coucy, north of Soissons, the Ger
 mans are nibbling at the allied line !. in an effort to find weak spot. So 1 far the enemy has been repulsed
 along the western leg and elbow of
 the salient. In the Chauncy- Coucy-
 Lafere triangle along the Disc the
 French have retired to higher ground. North of the Somme the enemy is confining his efforts to the capture of artillery positions, but without success.
 Aerial fighting continues heavy. The French and British aviators brought down thirty-one enemy ma chimes. Berlin claims eighteen en- tente airplanes were destroyed. From Arras to the Somme the British line is unchanged. The latest enemy attempts to at tack in the region of Bucquoy, twen- ty miles north of Somme, were brok- en up by artillery fire. Immediately south of the Somme there is only To- cal fighting.
 The French maintain splendid defense east of Amiens of the Paris railway.
 Berlin claims advances in the re- zion of Coucy, but no mention of fighting here is made by Paris.
 American troops northwest of Toul successfully countered attempted German raids Friday and Sunday.
