Hon. J. k. Wilson for prosecut-
 ing Attorney.

Hon. J. k. Wilson, of Warren,
 Bradley county, announces in this issue of the Monticellonian his candidacy for Prosecuting
 Attorney of this-the 10th Judi cial District.
 MT. Wilson isa most capable and efficient lawyer, and a gentleman of exemplary habits, and we'll qualified for the place he is seeking. He was born and reared in Bradley county, and his boyhood days were spent on the farm, and his advantages of early education,were meagre, be- ing those only offered by country district schools. However, SUD- plementing these with indomit- able energy, and hard study at home, Mir. Wilson succeeded, ad . nirably, and began teaching school, himself, at the early age If sixteen, after working his way through the Warren High School. He afterwards attended the Ar kansas State University, where he graduated with honor, and subsequently, graduated in law.
 While attending school, he was elected by the people of Bradley county: to the 1905 ses- sion of the Arkansas Legislature, where he served with honor and profit to his constituents. He is a staunch Democrat, having, for many years, served as Secretary of both the Democratic Central Committee and Democratic Con- ventions. He is, also, an active Church and Sunday School work CT, being Steward in the Meth odist Church and a Bible-class teacher in the Sunday Seho ol. He has been a most successful practitioner of law, and is li- censed to practice both in the Federal and Supreme Courts, where he has very successfully conducted many cases. Last Fall he was elected as a Delegate to the Constitutional Convention of Arkansas, and was recognized as one of its leading embers, and placed on its most important committees. If elected, Mr. Wilson will give the District his best services. Give his claims just consideration.

The editor of this paper has been spared long enough to see his country engaged in three wars. The first was the civil war, between the States, when at the age of 12 years, in 1862, we saw our father march away from his home to engage in the trans-Mississippi service, and, only once thereafter, did we ever see him again. After two years of war he made a visit home, on furlough, but was captured by the Federal forces on his return to his command, and died, in the Federal prison at Rock Island, Illinois, where he was carried. The next was the Spanish-Amer- ican war, but that was of so short duration and of such in- significance, that it effected us but little; but now we are in a conflict, which again comes home to us, as 1t has with many oth- CTS, and calls for all the fortitude we can bring to bear. Last June we saw one of our sons, E. F. Gotham, bid home-folks good bye, and go off to join the First Arkansas Volunteers, and last Saturday we bid goodbye to another son, John H. Gotham, who left for Little Rock, to offer his services, as a marine, to his Government. What our boys have done, thousands of others have done and are doing, in this eventful hour, and while we part with them, in sadness and sor- row, 1t is a duty they owe their Government, and all of us, ev- anywhere, should feel proud of their manhood and rejoice that we have acceptable sons, who offer their services to their coun. try in its hour of greatest need. May our boys and your boys re- fleet honor on their native land, wherever the f;te of war may carry them, and be spared to re- turn to us at the end.
The Monticellonian., 1918-02-22

One man has about as much right to prophecy as to the ter imitation of this war as another, and our opinion is that it will end early this summer, with a gigantic battle on the Western front, where the Germans will meet their Waterloo and be put to rout, and practically annihi- lated. Huge preparations are now being made for this great battle-indeed the greatest ever conceived of-and into it will be thrown all the might and power of the contending armies. More than 100000 men will be en- gagged in it, and 1t will be the de cisive battle of the war; and, in our opinion, the last one, of any magnitude, to be fought. While the Germans and Austrians will mass their main forces on this front, for a desperate struggle, they will be confronted by the allied forces of France, Great Britian, and the United States of America. This battle will prob. ably last for two or three months, but when it is over the Germans and Austrians will be so thoroughly crushed that they will be ready and willing to make peace on terms acceptable to the allies now battling for the free dom of mankind and the precious privileges of civilization. When this great battle ends, the war will be practically over, and we will have no more wars, fol years to come.

OF INTEREST
 TO FARMERS.
BY T. k. REID COUNTY DEMONSTRATORS.
Greater Hog Production.

The hog earned the name "Mortage Litter" by constantly furnishing the big end of the farm profits. A patriotic farm program for 1918 must provide for a material increase in hog production. Arkansas has been asked for a 20 per cent increase. The farmers have held most of their brood sows and gilts Y off of the market, and are retaining them for breeding purposes. But yet, Drew county must make a great part of the increase asked of her in better m ethods of hog management. The hog needs his chance. The farmer should provide this chance by following the suggestions given below:
 1st. Encourage the boys to be- come members of the pig club and thus get more and better hogs into each community.
 End. Provide pasture crops for the hogs, and arrange to give them this pasture along with a grain ration. Peanuts, cowpeas, velvet beans will furnish excel lent pasture. Rape sown now or later will give pasture at a need ed time.
 3rd. Keep the hog healthy and growing. Watch for symptoms of worms and lice and free him of these pests.
 4th. Vaccinate the hog and thus insure him against cholera loss. Cholera Is the cause of the loss of 90 per cent of the hogs that die from disease. This can be prevented at little cost.
 5th. Help to organize a hog mar. keting system and give the hog his chance to make the market price on him the greatest possi ble. Attend the meeting in Monticello Saturday, March 2nd, and help in this.

" len 1t comes to base in- trigu ,, infamous diplomacy and down light hypocrisy the German Cove .nment takes the cake.

It is extremely regrettable at this time, when our nation is facing the most trying ordeal in
 its history, that there should be
 disaffection, anywhere, and more especially in the halls of Con-
 gress. Of late there has been a disposition to inject politics into the debates emanating from the supposed statesmen of that au- gust body. This is unfortunate, at this critical juncture. There should be no politicians in Con- gress, now. All of them should
 be patiots if they cannot reach the climax of statesmanship. In times of peace 1t may not be wise
 to put too much power in the
 hands of the Executive; but now,
 when savage, bloody war is rag
 ing, it is, according to our view,
 absolutely necessary to place the
 power where it can be most
 readily used; and since President
 Wilson is the one man, in this nation, who knows how to use his power for the good of the na- tion and will do it, Congress will make no mistake when 1t gives him unlimited authority in con- ducting the war situation.
