WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
(By |. ID. Claire.)

(By |. ID. Claire.)
I'm for woman suffrage. ] de-
clare | am. For six thousand years
woman has been wronged. cruelty
wronged. She orter been allowed to
vote first. This is one of those mat
ters in which the world started
wrong. Women shant be trampled
under foot any longer If | can help
Il. Because Eve was good naturcd
and wanted to keep peace in the fam
lily Adam started off bossin' the job
and man usurped that privilege ever
since. Even in maxim of the old
scriptures the men done all the
writin', or at least il the woman
wrote the men wouldn't send the copy
to the printer. No doubt the women
wrote some good stun hut they new
er got it in print Now | don want
TO be irreverent. but even the old pa
triarchs and prophets wouldn't let
the women prophesy and take
the lead in things Somehow
governments wouldn't give the wo-
men no show, and made all the
kings and emperors out of men. Just
men. men for everything, and the
worlds gitten tired of IT, Women
must have their rights. one of the
greatest troubles in getting the wo-
men the right to vote is the women
themselves They've been down
,rodden SO long they just don't want
to vote, but they orter be made to
do il. 1t orter be made a felony for
a woman not to vote. | git mad at
my wife because she don't want to
vote. and guess I'd get madden if
she did vote and didn't vote my way.
but she orter want to vote. Woman
suffrage is just the thing to right
all the wrongs that afIlict the human
race, and let us hurry the remedy.

out the State. The newspaper that
is afraid to give its readers the best

occasion requires. its own party or

spect. AS long as we direct the pol

shall be immune from just criticism
when the occasion demands.

Whom the Lord loveth he chas-
teneth. The Fiscal Court is of our
household Of faith, and as, in a small
way.the mouthpiece of the party, we
shall be at sometime called upon to
defend its action. In this capacity
we feel justified in commenting upon
its action. At the recent term of this
court we notice by its record that it
made an allowance of S16.40 for
stenographic notes of trial in the
matter of the Suttons, charged with
the non-support of a parent. There
appears to us no reasonable excuse
for stenograph records Of this tritiing
case. at the expense of the tax payers
of the county, and we think, that like
the allowance for rent of quarters
for the local exemption board, there
was no warrant in law for doing so.
There can be no just excuse for such
liberality with the public's money.

URGES FARMERS TO
 SAVE BROOD SOWS
County Agent Says 1t is Patri. otic Duty to Keep All
 Breeding Stock

The United States Govern ment has asked that Arkansas increase her hog production 20 per cent. To do this means that every farmer must keep more breeding stock than he did last year.
 Due to the present high price of hogs, 1 notice that some of the farmers have been selling off their good brood sows and gifts to buyers who are ship ping them out of the county for butchering purposes. Inde- pendenee coanty needs all or a greater portion of these sur plus sows to help make up the increase asked by the Govern ment. Therefore, if any man in the county has more brood soWs than he can well take care of he can render a patri- otic service by not selling these brood soWs for butcher pur- poses but instead by saving them for his neighbor or for some other farmer in the eoun- ty who wishes to increase the number of his hogs.
 As county agent 1 would like to see every farmer in our county secure as many sows or gifts as he can profitably ham, de. And with this desire in mind, shall act for a few weeks as free distributingagent between seller and buyer. wish that those who have a surplus of breeding sows for sale would write or telephone me the number they have for sale, giving the age, breeding and price of the sows which they care to dispose of; also the information as to whether they are open or bred.

Arkansas Stands Near Head of List for Enlistments For
 Year Just Closed

Between February 22nd 1917, and December 31, 1917 total of 1928 men from Ark ansas enlisted in the United States Navy.
 This information was given out by the Navy Recruiting Of ficer at Little Rock this week and covers the period from the opening of a milan office at Little Rock until the end of the year.
 According to the recruiting officer, this is very good rec ord for Arkansas, and on a ba- sis of the available population this state will come near the head of the list in Navy enlist ments. These enlistments cov- cred some forty odd ratings and trades in the United States Navy, and practically every town in the State gave one or more recruits.
 Registrants may still enlist in the United States Navy. Any man who Is not needed for the current quota of his Board, or whose number and class are so far down the list that they will not be needed for for the next increment may enlist. Ap- plicants for enlistment who are registrants, by presenting a statement, signed by their local board that they are not need ed will be accepted by the Navy recruiting officer.
 Enlistments are being made in over 30 different ratings, a number of which are open to men without previous expert ence who are between the ages of IS and 35.

ROBBERS MAKE RICH
 HAUL AT MAGNESS
HELD ON SUSPICION
Alleged that Men Attempted
 to Poison School Children

Three suspicious characters were arrested near Batesyille a few days ago and placed in FfI pending an investigation of an alleged attempt to poison the children attending school at the Mack school house near MoorefieId.
 The men gave their names as William Murray from Mis- souri, Joe Denison from Ohio, and John Stephenson from Pennsylvania. They slept in the Mack school house one night last week and when a fire was started in the stove the following morning it was found that some kind of a pois- onous chemical had been plac- ed in the drum of the stove, which, when it became hot threw off an ordor that made 3 number of the ehilrden very sick. The men deny any in- tention to poison the children but admit they slept in the school house.
 Il is said that no charge ex- eept that of yagraney or tres passing can be held against the men and 1t is probable that they will be released.

 FOR ALL PEOPLE
Hamp Williams Asks All Pa triotic Citizens to Observe
 Days in Their Homes

Hamp Williams, federal food administrator for Arkansas has issued an appeal to the people of Arkansas to observe the meatless and Wheatless days, as is being done by the hotels and restaurants.
 MT. Williams does not want 1t understood that his request is in the form of an order, but 1t is an appeal to the patriotism of the people to do this as their bit in helping to win the war.
 "The success of the war and the freedom of the world for democracyas against autoeracy largely depends on the food supply" says the administra- tor. "The world faces an alarm ing shortage of it's staple food crops on account of the mil lions of men engaged in bat tie and the manufacture of munitions of war. In view of
 
 this Herbert Hoover has re- commended that Tuesdays be observed as meatless and We'd nesday as Wheatless days. The people of this great state have proven their loyalty and pa- triotism in all war measures by giving the army and navy our quota and by subscribing more than our portion of the Red Cross, Y. M. c. A. and Liberty Loan funds. 1 request all the people of this state to further prove their loyalty and patriot ism by observing these days. Do not serve or eat beef, pork or mutton on Tuesdays, or any food containing wheat or it's products on Wednesdays"
