who would hamper us by scattering seeds of disloyalty at home; of how shrewdly the Germans had planned and worked to undermine our nation just as they had in all truth under mined Russia and thrown it into a scrap heap of ruin.
 Then a dapper little French lieu tenant, scarce recovered from wounds received in the battle of the Marne, told, in broken English, of how it was sought to SOW seeds of dissension and disloyalty in France; told little of how France was fighting and how England was fighting, and how now it was necessary that America should send over her armies and her guns and provisions and help save the day
 And there were two hundred edi- tors who heard it all who were stiffen- ed in their resolution to do everything in their power to help flick the kais- err by helping the boys at the battle front.

HoLsTErN CALVES ARRIVED.
Seventeen Came in This Afternoon
 and 21 More Ordered.

The shipment of Holstein cattle, which was made from White Water, Wis, last Saturday under the order of Ben c. Eastin, secretary of the Commercial Club, evidently became separated in transit. Two of the ami mals arrived by express Monday aft ernoon, and two more arrived Tuesday morning. Mir. Eastin received mes sage that IT head IT head were to ar rive Tuesday. Those wrich arrived Monday were pedigreed males, one going to E. Gardner and the other to J. S. Henson. The two which came Tuesday were heifer calves, and one of these also went to MT. Henson and the other to A. c. Robinson.
 It had been expected that the en- tire shipment of 27 head would reach here at the same time, and the plan had been to have livestock parade on their arrival. Mir. Eastin already has twenty-one applications for second order which will likely be made the latter part of this week.

Mena is good deal cut off, as it were, from our state capital, but nev- ertheless, Menaite going there soon finds himself pumping into Mena folks, whether he seeks it or not, and it is pleasant sensation, too.
 When over there last Saturday the writer had not reached his hotel be- fore he met J. Hollister Tull, who was leaving for Pine Bluff to attend a meeting that had to do with market, ing problems-that problem that has, at last taking its place among the big things to bo done for the producer. And MT. Tull, with his offices in the historic old State House, is earnest ly working out the solution.
 And then, few hours later, the writer was walking along a prominent street and was hailed by Dr. c. c. Gunnels, who was sitting back in the cushions of one of his big Stephens autos looking as serene and as much at home as tho he had been born to it. The doctor picked up the visitor, took him out to the state house, waited while an errand was attended to, and then back to town and to the Gunnels- Riley auto company's stores and gar age. And it's big place, too, and last week disposed of something like fifteen cars.
 And right here came s. L. (Old) Lindsay, looking younger and better than ever, and filling a responsible place in the office. Yes, he was glad to see someone fresh from home, and not bit ashamed to show it, and as we talked he had sort of wistful, far-away look that told the story of desire to be "back home"
 Asked if he was not feeling lone some, he half laughed and said: Well. you know don't get that good old corn bread and sorghum over here"
 A few minutes later who should we meet but Dr. W. P. Parks, looking sturdy and we'll. He is happy in the fine experience as superintendent of the great government health estab- listment at Hot Springs, but some time, he says, he thinks he will come back to Mena to live-that he likes it better than any place he ever knew.
 And there are others, and more yet that are known to Mena folks almost as we'll as tho they had lived there.
 The world is a pretty neighborly place, anyhow.

WAR FOR HUMANITY.

War in a good cause, is not the greatest evil which nation can suf- fer. War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth war is worse When people are used as mere human instruments for firing cannon or thrusting bayonets, in the service for the selfish purposes of master, such war degrades peo- pie. A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice; a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, carried on for an hon. est purpose by free choice, is often the means of their regeneration. A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing he cares more about than he does his personal safety, is a miserable creature, who has no choice of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. As long as justice and injustice have not term mated their ever-renewing fight for ascendency in the affairs of mankind, human beings must be willing, when need is, to do battle for the one against the other.-John Stuart Mill.
 This was written half century and more ago, but it might have been written yesterday it applies so we'll to today's conditions. The truth is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.

THAT Y. NJ. c. A. WAR FUND.

John L. Hunter, state secretary of the Arkansas War Work Council of the Y. NJ. c. A., sends a report show ing the standing of the several coun- ties of Arkansas in the matter of rais- ing their quotas of money for the cause. Eighteen counties have sent in 100 per cent or more, and Polk county is credited with 75 per cent, being classed in group B. There are three lower groups, c, 50 to 75 per cent; D, 25 to 50 per cent, and E, less than 25, with Perry county standing alone as having done nothing at all.
 In the original allotment Mena was asked to raise $2,OOO, and Sevier $1,- 250, on agreement in the convention, Sevier agreed to go on equal terms with Polk, making the quota $1 ,625 each.
 Polk has sent in $1500, while Sevier is credited with but $1306.50.

One of the big speeches over at the Little Rock meeting was by Congress man w D. Vandiver of Missouri. Mir. Vandiver, with snow white hair, was yet man of vigor. He went back in- to history, telling how during the ages there had ever been a battle between civilization and the barbarian races, and how, again and again the barbar- ian had been turned back, defeated, when he seemed about to overwhelm the world; and, he declared, history is repeating itself, and, he believed, soon the barbarian hosts of the kaiser would be turned back before the ar mics that fought for Civilization, and the world and Liberty again be saved.
 The speaker related how, in recent years, the kaiser had talked of how Hannibal and Caeser and Napoleon had sought to rule the world, and had been almost at the goal and failed, but declared the time would come when he would make the effort and would not fail.
 Mir. Vandiver blamed himself and blamed the United States Congress and all the nation for their blindness to the thing that they might and should have known was pending. He told of how men had come before Congress and pleaded that prepara- tions be made to meet possible war
 the war that even then was in full flood of preparation in Germany. And he told of their blindness, of how they refused to see the thing that, looking backward, seems now so plain and clear as to daze the senses. He told us that had France and heroic little Belgium been sleeping as were the United States and England, long ere now the light of Liberty would have been plotted out of the world and the heel of Hun grinding out the sparks Then General Sturgis, in command of Camp Pike, and it's thousands of men in training, told of the war and o1 the things those at home must do fol
 those in the trenches. How we mus
 show our loyalty to our boys and oul
 country, and that we are worth th' l lives that will be laid down for us. H.

 LOAN CAMPAIGN.

EDITORS AND THIRD LIBERTY
 LOAN CAMPAIGN.
 Responding to the call of H. s. Gardner of St. Louis, head of the Lib- erty Loan organization of the dis trict comprising Arkansas and seven neighboring states, about two hundred Arkansas newspaper men gathered at the Marion hotel in Little Rock Sat urday morning, and there learned more about this feature of war activ- ity and organization for carrying it forward than most of them had any idea existed. In fact, after Mir, Gard ner had explained in detail what had been done, the idea prevailed in some quarters that the United States was getting it's stride in the direction of efficiency, and soon would make even Germany sit up and take notice.
 And, in this Third Liberty Loan, in which it is expected that the ordin- ary, everyday, standard grade, all- wool and yard-wide American citizen shall come into the breach and put up most of the money, the leaders are depending very largely indeed on the newspapers to put it over the top" In the past loans, you know, the bank CTS have have provided about 65 per cent of the money raised. This time they want the farmer, the working man in all classes and the small busi- ness man to come in.
 And you know there's big reason for that aside from mere desire to raise money. You know that all these bonds, big, little, and the war stamps, have no value except as given them by the government of the United States. The government of the United States is nothing in the world but the people of the United States, and in just as the people are INTERESTED in the government, and are LOYAL to the government is the government strong or weak And it is human nature that men and women who hold in their hands tangible part of the wealth of the country--a government bond, for instance-to take little special in terest in what is going on, and to have a little special "pep" in putting out of business any power that tends to de- stroy that bond by harming the coun- try that stands behind it.
 Then, again, we have long ragged at the rich bond-holder and his class. We did not like to think that we com mon folks had to toll and slave and keep up that class by paying interest on the bonds held by the money-lend- ing plutocrat.
 And we can't be blamed, either. There has been tendency in the past for our government to borrow all its money from the rich man and pay the rich man all the interest. Bonds were issued in 5000 units and larger to suit the 'big fellow"
 Now boy or girl can get a war saving stamp for 25 cents, a Baby Bond for $5 that draws interest, and $50 bonds are common. That means that most anybody can be bondhold- CT and when the interest time rolls around he can get a part of the in- terest himself-and he will feel better about it than before, to say nothing about that pride that comes from helping lick the kaiser stands for.

The United States soon will be the greatest maritime nation, declares Edward W. Hurley, chairman of the shipping board, and adds that on March 1. 28 per cent of the million tons planned is on it's way to compile tion. It may be that the great battle now shaking the world may close the war before Mir. Hurley and his board has completed the mighty task, but ships of this class will not be lost, but will be a source of profit and com mercial strength to the country.
