PLANT MORE WHEAT.

The nation is appealing for an in
crease in the coming years wheat crop.
This increase is absolutely necessary
under present war conditions. When
the new wheat came on the market
this year there was not enough wheat
in the country to provide two pounds
each to our people and those of the al
lied nations. Such close call must be
provided against in the future, and to
do this every county in every wheat
growing state in the Union must in
crease its acreage. Haywood county
is asked to increase her acreage by
2,057. This will not be done unless
each farmer does his part. We talk
about doing our bit-this is one of the
best ways for every farmer to do his
bit Don't look alone at the profits to
be gotten. Just consider the necessi-
ty and go to your task like a patriotic
citizen. The price of wheat next year
viii not be less than 1920 per bushel
and it may be more If you are going
to help in this great cause of human
ity and world liberty, now is the time
to act. If you didn't plant any wheat
last year, change your record and
plant some this season. If you did
plant some last year, just keep up
the good work and plant a little more
this time. A field of wheat this year
viii be a splendid proof of your patri-
otism. Plant wheat!

The socialists in New York have de-
handed six-hour work-day. Which
seems to suggest that they have ex-
IRENE ideas on the subject Of work.
Anything that wearies you n six
hours is the wrong job for you. Drop
it and do something else.
No one ever put a great achieve
ment on record while waiting for the
quitting whistle. Dislike Of work does
not prove that work is curse. 1t
proves that we are poor guessers in
picking our jobs.

work among the woes Of mankind, it

fight it did just as practical q thing il
srrrendering. The Americans could
have massacred it or starved it out
without losing a man.
Its colonel called the roll. and every
man answered. He then suggested
to his captors that as his command
was so distressingly complete it might
as well preserve its organization, and
with its officers and non-coms. it
marched, disarmed and under escort,
tc the detention camp. The only thing
lacking was brass band.
The coup was accomplished by Yam
kee quickness. The quickness was
made possible by fiawless transporta-
ton facilities and equipment. These
things make for bloodless victory.
And they cost money.
The amount called for in the new
loan appeal is stupcn6ous. 1t is not a
case of "Have you bought a bond?"
but "How many have you bought"
But money means superior equip
ment and bloodless triumphs. Fight
ing with safety-so far as it is posi-
hje-improves with organization.
Death and casualty rates have shrunk
considerably at the front. We have
seen 8 per cent go to 8 per cent.
Money buys gas masks, life-saving
appliances and hospital equipment
It's our money or the lives of our
boys. Don't weaken, men and women

A FALSE IDEAL.

Some of US are not obliged to work
and some decline to; but these are in
the minority.
As most of US occupy ourselves prin-
cipally in making a living we may as
we'll do something that We like, even
if we make few bad shots before we
hit our vocation. Just now the gov
eminent is doing the choosing for US,
hut the war will not last forever, and
this philosophy applies for all time,
The greatest tragedy in life is a
vocational misfit. Premature death is
melancholy, but it is a cheerful desti-
ny compared with life prolonged for
fifty years in an uncongenial calling.
Many a man works like a slave to
avoid dying, but if he would stop
avoiding it he would escape the trou-
hle of working altogether. His work
is painful; death will get him at the
finish; it might as well get him at the
start.
Everyone of US is good at something
hut most of us are doing something
else. Were it otherwise, everyone

In order to meet the demands of
Our government in the conserva-
ton of paper, The States-Graph-

vance" rule for subscriptions. In
order that all of our subscribers
may have plenty of time in which
to arrange for this change we
make the announcement now to
take effect January /, 1919. This
is giving more than three months
notice. We have many subscrib-
ers who have not been at all reg
ular in their subscription pay
ments because there has been no
demand for it. A subscription
is small amount and can be paid
in advance without any hardship.
All daily papers and very large
percentage of the weeklies have
already adopted this plan. NOW
THE GOVERNMENT MAKES
THE DEMAND OF ALL. We
want every one of our subscribers
to make this AN IMPORTANT
MATTER TO BE ATTENDED
TO AT ONCE, for we do not want
to cut any of them off as delin-
quents. Remember, though, we
shall be forced to do this on Janu-
airy l, 1919, unless you pay your
subscription ahead of that time.
If you want to know when your
subscription expires, just look on
the margin of any copy you re-

expiration. Here is an illustra-
ton Of the way in which all papers
are marked: 4-16-1S. The A gives

Is the year of this supposed sub
scription and means that the SUBJ
scription expired April 16, 1918.
If your subscription expires be-
fore January l, 1919, you must
come in and make payment be-
fore that date.

To deserve the food allowance fix
ed by government the hen must show

But there is virtue in the recently

many Of them refuse to work more
than four, and if these leisurely ex-
quisites are given the option of
working a complete week or going to
the trenches they may forget the lure
of the movies. Sitting in picture the

alag displayed on films is poor sub
stitute for the work that is needed to

IN ECLIPSE.

Occasionally our metropolitan news
papers make casual mention of the
deaths of French deputies onthe West
ern front. There were two in the first
week of September.
The items are generally in some OBJ
scure corner of the back pages and
consist of six or eight line paragraphs
IN French papers they get more space
but not much. Deputies shouldering
rifles are numerous and to become il
lustrious each must acquit himself
illustriously in battle. 1t is not easy
10 shine prominently when so many
do their best.
Yet it is unfair to say that the
French belittle the functions of leg
islator. Circumstances have combin-
ed to cause readjustment of values.
They have ruled thct an average man
with bayonet is more important than
an average deputy. congressman aor
I.rarfameiltarian.
Many men who have answered the
as year draft call should find a deep
contentment herein. There are those
who do not hope to attain even the dig
nifty of congressman, and yet feel
that experience has given them exec
utive capacity and aptitude in special
lines of endeavor which would be
wasted in the trenches. But if they
have the supreme quality of physical
soundness, and do not include in their
makeup something peculiarly neces-
sary TO military or industrial estab-
lishment here at home, they are likely
to find themselves in training camps.
They will be in good company. The
elected representatives of the French
people measure up to the standards of
eloquence and political sagacity main
tanned in American and English legis-
lative bodies, but rhetoric and cleo
pioneering dexterity are surprisingly
easy to dispense with when wars are
to be won. Many gifts of mind are at
present subordinate in importance to
strong limbs and sound digestion.

GIYE-A-BUSHEL WAR
 FUND SOLO|ER'S AID

The boys will be coming home soon. The S7th and 39th Divisions, in which most of the Arkansas boys are enlisted, are among the first that are to return from France un- fortunately, some of them have been disabled, and they will ind it diff cult if not impossible to resume their former vacations.
 To aid in the rehabilitation of our soldiers is the purpose of the Farm CTS Give-a-B -Bushel War Fund, an Arkansas movement which is being closed up this week. The plan con- templates that every farmer and member of his family. give bushel of his most abundant crop. and that those who live in the cities and towns give the value thereof.
 November 19 to December 1st is the date for the final drive to close up the campaign, and Saturday, Nov ember 30, has been Set apart as Give a-Bushel Day throughout the State, when all pledges are to be redeemed.
 The movement has the support of the State Council of Defense thru it's county and community organiza- toins, and members or representati- yes of the Council have been mak- ing tour of the State conferring with the chairman and others and urging them to get behind the move mant, see that everybody is solicited and the pledges redeemed by next Saturday.
 Some very fine reports have been made hv the members, one of the best being made by Chairman Lloyd England for Columbia county. There is now. about $7,000 in the bank in that county and the chairman is con- fident they will be able to raise their quota, as the county is thoroughly organized through the school dis tricts. He also visited Miller coun- ty, and the workers assured him that they would secure their quota of 12,6000 bushels. Lafayette county is also we'll organized. Other sections of the State make good reports, but a few of them have done very lit tie.
 This is one of the necessary agen- cies, approved by President Wilson. It must be continued until the boys get home and all of them are replac- ed in their various employments
