PERSHING SENDS IN {
 FIRST C0MMUNIQUE
Commander Expeditionary Forces Tells of Activities of Scout
 Patrols

Washington, May 16.-The war department today made public an Of ficial communique from General Per- shing in two sections, the first re- beating a communique that came in press cables this morning, and the second giving additional information of the activities of the American troops.
 The second section said:
 "1n Lorraine May 12, three snipers, scouts of the intelligence service, went out in camouflage sniping suits to find German snipers and encoun- tered IS of the enemy at strong points near a dugout. They shot four of whom one appeared to be an officer, secured valuable papers and retired under heavy fire. One failed to reach our lines and the major commanding the sector sent three officers and four men to find him.
 "This patrol also penetrated the en- emy's line and reached the strong point attacked by first patrol. Here the enemy was now enforced and our patrol wa sdriven back by hot rifle fire. On reaching our lines one man of this patrol also was found missing. Two officers also was found missing, Two officers who went out to find him killed an enemy scout and brought back body for Identification purposes. The man missing from the second patrol has not been found but the third intelligence scout party has returned"

THE "NON-ESSENTIAL" PLANT

It has been the experience in all warning countries that the plant mak- ing "non-essentials" in peace time frequently becomes the best available war plant in war times.
 As matter of fact, all factories are assets to nation in war. The pure y agricultural nation is at a disad vantage hwen compared with the na- tion possessing agricultural AND in dustrial plants.
 Russia's vast expenses of agricul- tural land and it's enormous farm re- sources availed little during the war. Her breakdown is directly attributed to the lack of munitions, which she could not make herself in sufficient quantities, and which she could not readily import from England. Impor- tations from Japan were but drop in the bucket.
 The strength of the United States and her value to the allies lies in the combination of agricultural and in dustrial resources that the nation possesses. And many of our manu- featuring plants are most efficient in the production of war supplies were making gee-gaws and fancy "non- essentials" before the war.

 ciety punished accordingly.
LYNCHING SHOULD BE
 UN.AMERICAN

Lynching should be un-American.
 Unfortunately it is American. It is an American custom that has been tolerated by week kkneed public off cials and slothful public opinion. l Lynching is wrong all the time every time. Chimes are not pre- vented by lynchings, and frequently and frequently revengeful retalia- tion by friends or others is engender- ed. There is also the risk of lynch ing an innocent person.
 The American constitution seeks to guarantee a fair trial to everyone charged with crim. It would seem that it is the duty of Americans to abide by the constitution and that it would J e stab at he nation to ignore it.
 An alleged pro-German was recent ly lynched in Illinois. The news has travelled to Germany The German authorities have threatened reprisals upon American prisoners.
 This is serious.
 Prisoners are certain to be cap tured on both sides. We are fully aware of the inhumanities and atroci- ties that the officials in Hunland are capable of practicing. And it wouldn't t make us feel right to know that such treatment was being accorded our fighting men in German prison camps merely because a few misguided mobs in America violated the principles of honor and justice toward aliens.
 If you think this opinion isn't worth while, read that of T. w. Gregory, at torney general of the United States. Here is what he says:
 "He who in the name of patriotism take part in a lynching does more than violence to the human being ac- cused of being ro-German. He also
 ynches the laws of the land. And while falsely wrapping the American flag around himself, he strikes a deadly blow to our American boys talk en prisoners by the Germans. The kaiser's men would want no better excuse to abuse our soldiers than mob outrages to German enemy aliens in America. Their record of treatment of French, Belgian and English pri- soners indicates what reprisals they would inflict."

Ugh! Calomel makes you sick. It's horrible! Take dose of the danger ous drug tonight and tomorrow you may lose days work.
 Calomel is mercury or quicksilver which causes necrosis of the bones. Calomel, when it comes into contact with sour bile, crashes into it, break ing it up. This is when you feel that awful nausea and cramping. If you are sluggish and "all knocked out" if your liver is torpid and bowels consti- pated or you have headache, dizziness, coated tongue, if breath is bad or stomach sour, just try spoonful of harmless Dodson't Liver Tone tonight
 Here's my guarantee-Go to any drug store and get a bottle of Dod- sons Liver Tone for few cents. Take
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1918-05-17

a spoonful and if it doesn't straighten you right up and make you feel fine and vigorous I want you to go back to the store and get your money. Dod- sons Liver Tone is destroying the sale of calomel because it is real liver med icine; entirely vegetable, therefore it can not salivate or make you sick.
 l guarantee that one spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone will put your sluggish liver to work and clean your bowels of that sour bile and constipat. ed waste which is clogging your sys- tenn and making you feel miserable. guarantee that bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone will keep your entire fami ly feeling fine for months. Give it to your children. It is harmless; dosen't gripe and they like its pleasant taste. -kdvt.
