1.-THE Fool Hath Said"

This Is message from one who
overwhelmingly DawsOn--tO those
who do not realize. 1t Is a message
direct from the trenches in France by
u soldier and writer to us behind the
lines. He says:
Life has swung back to a primitive
decision since the war commenced.
The decision Is the same for both
men and nations. They can choose the
world or achieve their own souls.
They can cast mercenary lots for the
raiment Of crucifed righteousness or
take up their martyrdom as disciples.
Those men and nations who have been
disciples together can scarcely fail to
remain friends when the tragedy is
ended. What the fool says In his
heart at this present moment is not

ITALY HAD FIRST PAWNSHOP
From That Country the System oradu.
ally Spread over the Rest Of tho
Civilized World.

Tho French call them monts-de-pietc.
but no satisfactory explanation for this
nomenclature is forthcoming. The es-
tablishment of municipal pawDshops In
France was attended with more diff.
Guilty than was the case In olher coun.
tries.
1t is from Italy that the idea Of mu.
nicipal pawnshops spread over the rest
of Europe. A municipal pawnshop was
set up In Madrid In the year 1905,
when priest with very little capital
opened up as an 'uncle." The system
was tried at Avignon in 1877, but IL
was not until the year 1777 that Paris
itself was provided with a mont-de'
piete. The national assembly upset the
monopoly and the business passed into
private hands. The extortions Of the
pawnbrokers In time led. however, to
demand for the re-establishment OF
the governmental Institutions. In 1900
Napoleon re-established the monopoly,
regulating It by laws that are still in
force. The interest charged amounts
to about Z per cent.
In Paris the mont-de-piete Is In effect
department Of the administration,
but In the provinces 1t Is municipal
monopoly.

That the pal" idea of having some.

big hit with them, is evidenced by the
receipt Of many letters at the council

The feeling that the "pa" system Is
doing much good Is borne out by let.

Reducing Fire Hazard.

It is of the utmost consequence that every individual in the United States consider himself committee of one to cooperate in the removal of all un- necessary fire hazards that may come within his knowledge. The urgency of this cannot by any possibility be ex- aggerated, says the Scientific Ameri can. The difference between adequate attention to this warning by every res ident of our country, and it's complete neglect hy all concerned, might very we'll be the difference between winning the war and losing it. And while of course this figure is an overdrawn one
 in the sense that certainly everybody will not ignore the warning any more than everybody will heed it, this fact does not in any degree diminish the measure of individual responsibility. Everyone of us can contribute some thing to the lessening of the fire loss for the year to come.

Farmers Should Buy War Stamps

Arkansas farmers have been ac- cused of not being awake to the seriousness of the situation and the fact that we are in world war to protect our homes and cur chil- dren. To carry on this war the government must have money. This money will be supplied from taxes collected, but, of course, the money cannot all be secured in few months from taxes; conse- quently, our government must bor row until the taxes can be collect ed. The War Savings Stamps gives everyone an opportunity to lend to the government. When you buy stamps of any denomina- ton you lend the money you pay for that stamp to the government. The stamp simply shows you have lent that money and it is as good as gold. The government guar antees to repay you with interest. Certainly we can all lend the gov ernmedt some money in the fight to protect our homes. We must do 1t, even if we have to sacrifice.
 Every farmer in this county should buy at least one 25c stamp for every day in the year, and it would be a good plan if the leaders in each neighborhood would follow the example of folks in other coun- ties, that is, circulate petition throughout each township in the county.

the lessons which might be dcduced from 1t.
 The report finds that the Atlanta disaster was essentially a "shingle- roof" confiagration of tle familiar type; it questions the utiiaS of the dynamiting of buildings and records the fact that some of the hose sent from nearby cities could not be used through lack of standardized couplings.
 The reports greatest emphasis, how ever. is laid upon bad roofing condi- tions, which are summed up in the following statement:
 This conflagration, together with two of the other fires occurring at the same time. emphasizes the ease with which spreading fires may develop in cities where wooden shingle roofs pre- dominate. even when the fire depart ment is mainly well equipped and manned It illustrates the startling suddenness with which such q fire may grow into contiagration under favor able conditions.

Men In American Forces Now.

There were l ,428.65O enlisted men and 1l0,865 officers in the United States army at the opening of 1918. more than one and half times as large as any force ever before mobilized by this Nation, according to a statement by Secre- tary of War Baker
 During the war with Spain the army of the United States at it's maximum strength aggregated 2Z2,OOO men and officers. The army in the field and in training now is practically six times as great as the maximum number un- der arms in tho Spanish-Americ war
 About 45,ooo officers were commissioned from civil life in the two series of training camps, nearly eight times as many as the number of officers in the regular army Apri l, 1917.

TREES NEED PLENTY OF ROOM
Should Be Planted Far Enough Apart For Them to Become Perfectly
 Developed Specimens.

If you own your place the first thing you wish to do k to plant trees and shrubs, because these take years toz mature, and naturally you do not want 10 lose a year. They are the anll permanent clements ill the garden and they cost more in the first place than seeds, bulbs or perennials. Therefore here is your great chance 10 makc il success or to spoil the effect of your place and waste a lot of money. Here are some good rules:
 Save money by planting your ave hue trees far enough apart for them to become perfect specimens. Nearly everybody plants too close Measure the spread of the best specimens i'll town of the species you want. Try ta get all the people in your block to plant the same kind of tree Don't plant silver naples, box elders or Carolina poplars. Their beauty is short lived. The elm is the quickest growing of the long-lived avenue | trees.
 Save money by not planting use- | less hedge across your front yard. A hedge is. never cheaper than H fence nor can you expect ii to be as effective | in keeping out animals. A tall l thorny hedge, like osage orange, is q bad thing for suburban place.

TO SELL WAR STAMPS.
Every fr5terna Order, Church or Other Dr. ganizati9ns Should be War Sayino Club.

According to the plan which is being adopted over the entire state every fraternal order, church so- eiety and women IS club and every store in Union county should or ganize a War Savings club. Every neighborhood in the county should be War s av ngs lun. Certainly what other counties have done we can do. We are not going to take the back seat for any other county in Arkansas. However, it is evi- dent that up to the present time every organization in the county has not taken an active interest in the War Savings campaign and are not buying War Savings Stamps in a symtematie way.
 Every loyal, prosperous citizen in the county could afford 10 belong to one of these clubs, in which the members pledge themselves to save enough from the amount they usually spend on luxuries, or things which are not absolutely necessa- ry, to buy at least one War Savings Stamp each day. 25e each day lent to the government by each man in the county ywho can afford to buy stamps will amount to near ly SlOO per year for each member and will help the government con- siderably in this cfiois. Remember our government must have ready cash if our boys are to have plenty of good food, clothes and amuni- ton. Are you willing to do your share? Then call on your banker and ask him for war sayings card. Arkansas has sold only few thousand dollars worth Of stamps. She is behind in her share. Utah and some other states, smaller than our own. have passed the two million dollar mark. We must do our part. Begin buying War Saw ings Stamps today.
