ARMY CASUALTIES.

While il was understood that the
casualty lists given out by the govern
ment up to and including the time of
the signing of the armistice were in
complete, perhaps the country was
hardly prepared to see the total num-
her of reported casualties increase,
within about two weeks after the sign
ing of the armistice. from less than
$4,000 to more than 100000. This
would seem to indicate that the fight
ing during the last few days of the
actual period of hostilities was ex-
tremel sanguinary. In this connection
it is reported that during the latter
part of the conflict more than half of
Germany's western army was concen-
trated in front OF the American forces
in the desperate but Intellectual effort
to stem the advancing tide of the al
lied forces.
The total casualties reported by
General Pershing, up TO November 26,
not including prisoners, was 262,693
That part of the report giving the
number of prisoners was unintelligible
and is therefore not available

enabled our state to secure one of the
largest extension forces in the south

They have published G,7O2 columns of

ness and anarchy born Of depressed
and down-trodlen reople-born OF the
German and Russian peasants who
have had their necks under the heel
OF autocracy and militarsm for a cen

labor at a profit Il he sold it at its

barely his food, clothes and shelter

his wages are such that he can have

Harrisons Lyceum Course, unde.
the auspices OF the Epworth League
presents on Tuesday evening, January
7th. the Theresa Sheehan Concert
Company which will give a rare pro.
gram OF both music and dramatic read
ings,
Editor Lee Shipley, Of the Missouri
Jeffersonian. writes of this company:
There are many good readers and
entertainers. but few have come to Cur
Chautauqua in the four years Of its
existence so wholly pleasing as Miss
Theresa Sheehan, She gives such va
riety to her programs that they are
wholly unlike those Of any other read
er. You cannot help liking her to save
your life. You cannot help admiring
the sincere and understanding art Of
her work and you cannot help from
bringing her back for encore after en-
core. Turning from jollity to drama,
Miss Sheehan gave a reading of the
sinking of the Titanic which thrilled
the audience with her realism. In this
act she was assisted by Miss Vivian
Des Jardius. yioiinist, and Miss Nc
Phee, pianist.
Miss Des Jardins is a truly beauti-
full girl and pleased her audience eX-
ceedingly Nothing could have been
more perfect than the piano accompa-
niment of Miss McFhee."

CROP SYSTEMS FOR ARKANSAS.

tin No. 1000.

Everyone Should Have Farmers 5uIIe
tin No. 1000.
Crop Systems for Arkansas is the
title to Farmers Bulletin No, 1000,
written by A. ID. McNair of Little
Rock, well-known agricuturst with
the United States Department Of Aeri-
culture. This bulletin describes the
best crop systems or those combina'
tions OF crops which are most suited
to Arkansas conditions,
How Much Should Be Farmed BY One
Family?
The author of this bulletin tells how
many acres Of crops can be farmed by
two men and team, or by families
in which the hands are equivalent to
two. He says that the number of
acres that can be farmed with this
labor depends on the kind Of crops
grown and on the kind Of soil, but va
ries from 27 acres Of crops to 104
acres, according TO circumstances. In
the latter case, however 22 acres are
second or double crops The writer
makes q point Of planning the crop
system so as to keep men and teams
reasonably busy and so that slack
times may be largely avoided and so
that busy seasons shall not be too
busy
Mr.. McNair is cooperating with the
Extension Division of the University
of Arkansas and any farmer desiring
this bulletin should apply to the DG'
partment of Agriculture at Washing
tor, u, c., or the Extension Division,
Fayetteville or li,-lo Rock Ark and
ask for Farmers Bulletin No 1000.

Germany, on the other hand, need
not figure I'm such map for Ameri-

cation that we shall be called on at all
to take thought for the food needs Of
Germany. Germany probably can care
for her own food problem II she Is
given access to shipping and Is enabled
to distribute food to the cities with
dense populations, which are the trou-
BILE centerS.
England, France, the Netherlands

maintained from American supplies,
have sufficient food to meet immediate
needs, but their future presents seri-
ous difficulties. The same Is true OF
Spain and the northern neutral coun-
tres--Norway, Sweden and Denmark
whose ports have been open and who
have been able to draw TO some degree
upon foreign supplies.

not single country in which the fu-
ture does not hold threat OF serious
difficulties and only q small part which
Is not rapidly approaching the famine

even in the Ukraine, with stores accu.
