HOME DEMONSTRATION AGENTS DO GREAT WORK ''
Have Aided Materially in Food Pre-
 auction and Food Conservation, as : We'll as Other War Activities.

Among the many activities in which the County Home Demonstration Agents are engaged under the super vision of Miss Connie J. Bonslagel, State Home Demonstration Agent, un- doubtedly the work in food produc- ton and food conservation stands out as being most important.
 During the past year 19,479 gardens were planted under their supervision, and 26,216 farmers were induced to save additional farm products for win ter use. Much interest was aroused in poultry raising, dairying and grow ing orchard products. One seventeen year old. girl made net profit of $21l,2O on her one-tenth acre garden, pes ides supplying the home table An other girl made net profit of $l31.8 on her flock of chickens.
 All of the agents have done excel lent work in helping the people to can, dry, and store their vegetables, canning and preserving their fruits, and putting up their meats. Under the instruction of the Garland County agent the mess sergeant of the Army and Navy Hospital in Hot Springs has put up hundreds of gallons Of canned vegetables and fruits, marmalades, etc '

Barnes, member of the War Cabinet, the lead- CTS of the coalition government, open ed the general election campaign thls morning by addressing a large ana enthusiastic meeting, in central nall, Westminster. The premier presided. MT. Lloyd George, said the new parlla- ment would be the most important ever elected in the> history of the country.

GERMANS PLEAD
 FOR CLfMENCY
Starvation Stalking at the Door of Arrogant Huns; They Ask Favor of Nation That They
 Dispised.

Washington, Nov. 16.--In the al most hysterical appeals of the Ger man provisional government for sup plies of food and for permission to address itself directly through con- mission to the American public, of- ficials here see a purpose to excite the sympathies of a. large element of the American population more ol less connected by blood ties witl' Germany. With such sympathies aroused, the German government, it was said, undoubtedly hopes to in- fluence. the approaching peace con ference towards leniency.
 Such appeals as those which have been sent by wireless by pr. Solf German foreign secretary, to Secre. tary Lansing. were said to quite un- necessary and not likely to have any beneficial results President Will son already has promised to do ev erything possible 10 prevent suffer ing among the civil population of the conquered states,
 The entente powers have endorsed this attitude, not so much from con alterations of mercy or sympath, with the foe, as from a genuine con viction that the starving and des perate people would make dangerout neighbors; render any satisfactory

No Coercion of Ulster.

Premier Lloyd George, has sent a letter to Chancellor of the EXchequer Bonar Law, leader of the Unionist patry. outlining his policy regarding the general election and the principal issues of the day.
 The Premiers says he is convinced there should be general election his principal reason being that it is essential there should be fresh par liament possessed of authority to deal with the different transitional period which will follow the cessation of hostilities.
 MT. Lloyd George considers it should be a coalition election, the constituents being invited to return candidates who will undertake to sup port the present government, not only to prosecute the war to final end and to negotiate peace, but to deal with problems of fecopstruction.
 Dealing with the home rule ques- tion, the premier said:
 "I can support no settlement which would impose a forcible Coercion of Ulster. Eighteen months ago the gov ernment made alternative proposals for settlement of the Irish problem. It offers either to bring home rule in- to immediate effect, while excluding the six northern counties of Ulster, from it's operations but setting up at the same time a joint council which would empowered to extend legisla- tion of an Irish parliament to Ulster, or to set up convention of represen- tative Irishmen to endeavor to find a settlement for themselves
 "The second alternative was adopt ed, but unfortunately, after nearly year of earnest deliberations, the convention found themselves unable to arrive at anything like an agreement.
 "In these circumstances I claim the right to bring settlement into ef- feet, based on the first of these alternatives. I recognize, however, that in the present condition Ireland such an attempt could not succeed and that it must be postponed until the condition of Ireland makes it.

 NEED ORGANIZATION ID BRING BENEFITS
However They Are Not as Numerous
 as They Should Be For Market
 ing Farm Products.

By w. C. Lassetter, Director Agricul.
 tural Extension Division, Univer-
 sity of Arkansas.
 Arkansas people have been co-ope rating for some time in buying cattle hogs. seed and farm implements, etc, and in many localities, products have been sold with considerable profit by marketing organizations. However, these organizations for marketing farm products are not as numerous as they should be.
 Organization on large scale is not necessary in order to derive benefits. There is no need for people on small farms who have ten or twelve head af fat hogs to sell, to dispose of them at from three to five cents a pound less than a market price, when by cooperating with each other, they can ship in car lots and secure mar. ket prices for their stuff : T t has been proven that Irish DO. tatoes can be sold more profitably through cooperation. In several sec tions of the sta te where the small growers have been willing to organize for the purpose of marketing tAeir potatoes in car lots they have .inva- llably received a better price.
 Sweet potatoes so we'll adapted to the soil of Arkansas, can also be pros duced at a good profit in communities where the growers are willing to get together for carlot shipments.
 Organizations for the purpose of marketing strawberries, peaches and other fresh fruits, have all proven very successful at number of imr portant points in the state. Many ex- ainples of organizations which have resulted profitably to the members might be cited, but this is unneces- sary since it has been proven conclu- sively that when Arkansas people get together for the sale of their products they undoubtedly do better.
 The organizations that have beeh formed with a purpose i'll mind are in the most cases successful, while or ganizations that have sprung up with. out a purpose in mind have not always been so fortunate. Every organization must have eff cient leadership. and the leader must always be interested in his work. AT. kansas is fortunate in having at least one man in the county who is inter ested in the marketing of farm prod- ucts and who is willing to help organ izations in every way possible. This man is the county agent. who is the natural and logical leader in all ot these movements and will be willing to cooperate at any time with people who wish to get together and benefit by an organization which they may form and by the help of which the E.s- tension Division of the University of Arkansas and the U. s. Department of Agriculture can give them through the Office of Markets and other agen- ciee.,

CHECKS SLOVAKS
 FAST CLEARING UP
Peasants Are Pleased With Libera. ton from tho Tyrannic Rule
 of Central Empires.

Vladivostok. Nov. 16.-f fCorrespon- dence of The Associated Pres. "A na- val battle on Lake Baikal Siberia, and land battle near Masovaia on the eastern shore of the lake, broke the Bolshevik resistence along the Trans Siberian Railway at one time viraully clearing the route of the Czecho-Slovaks from the south Of Russia to the Pacific. In the land battle Colonel Oushakoff, commancer of the Cossacks cooperating with the CZechO and SlOvaks, was killed but the Bolshevik and the Hungarian was prisoners, cooperating with them were so badly beaten that they were never able to rally again.
 The Czechs and their Cossack al lies were moving eastward along the railway line toward Irkutsk but were blocked at the southern end of Lake Baikal when the Bolsheviki blew up one of the railway tunnels run ming through the mountains there.
 While the Czechs and Slovaks went around the southern end of the lake, Colonel Oushakoff captured two lake steamers, fitted them with guns and started across the lake towing barges filled with Cossacks. Sever al Bolshevil1 craft including two large lake steamers attacked the expedition but a shot from one of the Cossack vessels set afire one of the Bol5heyik craft and the others fled.
 Landing at IMasovaia on the eas, shore of the lake, Colonel OushakCff attacked the enemy as they were masing for the expected assault upon the Czechs and Slcvaks approaching from the southern end of the lake.
 The battle which ensued was the most desperate of all those attend- ing the eatward progress of the Czechs. Colonel Oushakoff fell a victim to his own error in mistaking group of Bolsheviki for his own men. They shot him down as he walked up to them holding out his hand.
 Six thousand was the estimate of the number of Bolsheviki and three thousand war prisoners, killed in the battle. In addition, two thousand prisoners were taken. Many of these latter paid the penalty of the killing of Oushakoff. In parties of four or five hundred they were mow- cd down by machine gun fire.
 When, however, General Gaida, the CzechoSlovak commander learned of this occurrence, he issued orders against any further executions with out trials by court martial. As the result of this battle the Czecho-Slo- walks captured forty trains of pro- visions and ammunition. They way through to Chita was opened by the flight of the Bolshaviki and General Gaida and his officers moved east ward thereafter without serious op- position.

 It is known officially there is sui ficient food in Germany to meet lm- mediate needs. The supreme war council is planning to supply food in the future and before the present stocks are exhausted.
 are exhausted, assuming the exercise of wise economy in food distribution Therefore, it is said to be quite un- necessary for the German government to send the proposed commission to the United States to arrange for the purchase of food. MT. Hoover and the agencies behind him will attend to that.
 To correct what appears to be a general public misunderstanding on the subject, it may be authoritative ly stated, none of this food to be sent from America to Germany or Austria will be given away It must be paid for by the governments of those countries. Possibly that can- not be done in German cash, for It is believed the store of gold in the Reichbank has been practically eX hausted through the heavy purchas- es which Germany has been obliged to make from neutral countries, for ,1,s Ia <J %< s,, s,, eD. the most part. That situation may make it necessary to establish a German credit, but if it is done, it will be the act of the supreme war council as part of it's function i'll carrying out the terms and spirit If the armistice America will not have to bear thes. burdens or as sume the l,,k alone.

as recorded in the press despatches is viewed with satisfaction here. The composition of the new cabinet, in- cluding as it does, sane and conser- vative elements enough to leaven the whole, is taken as a guarantee against Bolshevilz control and it is hoped that with the asurance- of, not an abundance of food, but sufficient to avert famine at least. the new gov ernment can be assured of more per manency than marked the advent of Russia.
