Soy Bean crop lmpor.ant.

The soy bean was introduced into
the United States as early as 1904. but
1t Ia only during the last decade that II
has become a crop Of much impor-
lance. At the present time 1t is most
largely grown for forage. In many
sections, especially southwark and in
some parts Of the corn belt, a very
profitable industry has developed from
the growing Of seed. During the past
few years the acreage has increased
to very considerable extent. The
large yield of seed. the excellent quail
ity OF forage. the ease of growing and
harvesting the crop, its freedom from
insect enemies and plant diseases. and
the possibilities Of the seed for the pro-
ducti0n Of oil and meal and as a food
all tend to give this crop high DO
tentfal Importance and assure its
greater agricultural development In
America.

WHEN WOMEN TAKE CHARGE
Dit Of Ancient Chinese History That ID
Decidedly Interesting Coming
Just at This Time.

In the World Outlook Welthy B..
Honsinger gave this entertaining bit
Of ancient Chinese history. 1t only
goes to prove, once again, that there
Is nothing new under the SUM-"
In Olden times. when, as Barrie tells
rs. "the world was so young that
pieces Of the original eggshell still ad-
hered to It," long before the Tai Pings
or long-haired rebels ravaged this part
OF China, the two provinces of Kiangsi
and Fukien were Quarreling. The men
went out to fight and left the women
at home. even as we do today. The
women did not know anything about
planting crops or pudding rice fields.
AT first they just let things slide,
hoping the men would soon return.
But the feuds grew fiercer and more
men were called out. The fighting
reached the Kan and Hsia Kiang.
Finally all the strong men disappeared
from their ancestral halls. In the swift
years that followed the women found.
to their surprise. that they could make
the rice shops prosper. More junks
were sailing up the river than In for
mer days and clean little houses lined
the shore for long distances.
But although everything was going
beautifully and the women were max
Ing more money than they ever had be-
fore. the feeling gradually grew that
no town could be complete without
husbands.
A vote was accordingly taken and
the majority decided that husbands
should be imported.
Enter husbands from a neighboring
clan. The women having conceived
the scheme. worked 1t out logically.
Husbands were soon given to under
stand that they were husbands only,
and imported at that.
I'VE shall still be managers of our
lands and rice shops. We will run this
town and see that no harm befal!s the
province. You are to look after the
children" So the dictum ran and the
men subsidized into mere men and be-
came useful to the community.
So the women managed with high
hand In Hsia Kiang, just as our men
did In the Flint age. And the women
In Hsia Kiang have kept on managing
Just as our men liked to manage a
man-made world even to the present
day.

written by hand and exhibited In pub

coin of a gaZetta to read them.

GERMANS RIGHT
 WING IN DANGER
Allied Wedge In Flanders Is Being Driven Deeper By Marshal
 FOch's Men.

Paris, Oct. 16.-The German ex- treme right wing is being threatened more and more as the allied wedge in Flanders is driven deeper. The enemy resistance seems to be slack ening in Flanders and it is believed ed here that important results may be seen within few days.
 Already the advance of the allies is from two and one half to five mics on thirty mile front. On the right the British hold Menin and Wervicq, and have Courtrai almost within their grasp.
 The evaucation of the great in- dust1dal centers kFlLt1e, RombeEx and Tourcoing seems inevitable as the result of this gain. On the left the Belgianis are approaching Thou rout only twelve miles from Bruges and within twenty miles of the Dutch frontier. There are signs that the Germans realize the days of their occupation of Belgium are number ed.
 They already have begun the work of destruction in Belgium. Accord ing to information reaching Paris the Germans are preparing to get out of Bruges and Ghetn, and even Brussels.

WHOLESALE MURDER BY BOLSnEVIkI IS
 TOLD BY REfUGEs
Brought About i'm Russia by Red Guards in Reign of
 Red Terror
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Stockholm, Oct. IA. (Monday)-The deplOrable conditions brought about in Russia by the Red Terror of the Bolsheviki were reviewed today iby the party of entente refugees which accompanied R., Hs B. Lockharts of the British diplomatic service from Moscow. MT. Lpckhalt and his par ty were released by the Bolsheviki in exchange for M Litvonoff, the Bolsheviki representative in London They were taken from jail in Mos COW direct to the train which brought them to the border.
 Notwithstanding protests made by neutral ministers the wholesale slaughter of persons charged with counter revolutionary plans con- tinues unabated. The Red Ter TOT. had not subsided, in the slightest when the party left Russia. Large nun bers of persons were being exe- cuted daily on the slightest pretext and under the most revolting condi- tions.
 The mania for murder is so strong among the Bolsheviki officials. the refugees say, that they even shoot their own partisans. The firing squads take delight in forcing con- demned men to jump from automobi- les and in shooting them before the eyes of the other victims.
 Many executions take place in the Hodinka parade grounds. These are In charge of Lettish troops. The victims are shot with revolvers and the bodies fall into open trenches. Wet concrete immediately is thrown over them so that it is impossible for relatives to identify and claim the bodies. There is much sickness in Moscow as the result of starva- ton and ill treatment
 Another party of British refugees who accompanied Consul Woodhouse from Petrograd also have arrived here. isEers were still in prison there when they left The prisoners are forced to sleep on the floors of cells over crowded with all sorts of cri- minals.
 The Bolsheviki attack on the Brit fish embassy which resulted in the death of Captain Cromie is describ- ed by witnesses as having been a footing expedition" The Red Guards had footed wine cellars and attack 'eE the embassy WhVe ihtoKicated The building was wrecked, and money, clothing and other valuables taken.
 Deaths from starvation were in- creasing in Petrograd when the party left. At that time 700 deaths a day were attributed to hunger.

END THE YELLOW PERIL.

The course of human events has been missile-strewn and death litter ed for more than four years. One peo- pie dissolved the political and-s com- mercial bonds which connected them with practically all others not sub jugated by this people. They have shown no regard or respect for rights or feelings of the civilized world. x A decent respect for the opinion of mankind did not impel that people. to declare the causes which impelled them to the separation. A decent res pect for the opinions of mankind would have made the severance of those ties impossible. With individuals, one mans rights end where another's begins. The same applies to nations. Where Germany's rights end our rights begin. Germany has disregard ed all these timetable rights of men or nations. This country has an eye for world conquest and world rule She is now condemned to isolation and extremination as a military men, ace. This has been plainly set forth by President Wilson.
 The money of Pine Bluff and Jef- ferson county people will help to des- troy Prussianism and at the same time return the money with interest. The life of the country and of the people is threatened. This possibility may seem far distant but it is not. Just as surely as the sun rises in the east, just as surely will Germany in- wade this and other countries as she has France and Belgium if she is not completely extreminated as military power and menace.
 It is up to the people of Pine Bluff and Jefferson county to put their hands down in their pockets or write checks. today not tomorrow and as- sure the ending of this yellow scourge.
 Economize, stint and temporarily deny and deprive ones self luxries or comforts-but buy a Liberty Bond and invest double the dollars one in tended to detach for duty.
 The campaign in Jefferson county has proven mediocre success but Chairman Tomlinson has high hopes that the $1,714,00O quota for this county will be secured by tomorrow evening. Several thousand dollars re- main to be secured. Let every one take sober reflection with his or her conscience and ascertain if they have done everything possible to end the yellow peril by buying Liberty Bonds.
