A few miles over to our left there S
little old ruined village that's pref
ty close to the front line. where reg
mental headquarters Of that outfit
are. Troops pass by there at night
when they go in and out on relief,
and it's a kind of halfway station,

The other night, just to keep their
song of hate in good tune, the Ger

sent in several hundred gas shells

The work in Oklahoma has been
stressed for the last two weeks and
about thirty counties organized. Most

Show Progress On Maps.
There are four big maps on the
wall at 1913 Southwestern Life Build
ing. Each Of them is Of a State.
Pins of different colors are jabbed
into these maps to show the progress
Of the campaign. On the Arkansas
map the pins are so few as to hardly
be noticeable. However, only four
counties are concerned, so the show
ing is not SO bad as it looks.
Each black pin signifies that the
work in that county has been COM
pleted, each white one that 1t has
been well organized. Then each of
the few field workers, and they are
very few, has a color and a pin of
that hue shows that he has been as
signed the territory marked.
Recognizing its limitations, from
campaign standpoint, the Salvation
Army did not undertake to cover its
entire territory at the same time. In
stead, various cities and counties
were worked as fast as possible. Con-
seQuently there are only few black
pins on the map now, although there
are many white ones.
Brigadier General Wood, in charge
Of the Southwestern campaign, has
received considerable money from
small towns over the state. The post
master at Matagorda has sent in

good sized money order came in

LAD TAKES HIS LIFE
Precocious Youth Kills Himself
Over Alleged Theft.
Boy Declared Chemistry to Ec His
Life's Sole Desire and
Happiness.

London-Few cases Of suicide in
recent years have attracted as much
attention as that of Master Arthur
Easterbrook, precocious son of re-
tired colonel in the British army. The
youngster killed himself with cyanide
of potassium. He had been experiment
ing in chemistry. to which he was de-
voted. He presumably was driven to
his act by the discovery that he had
taken some chemical apparatus from
his school to his home. Although he
had merely borrowed it, there was an
insinuation that he was guilty of theft.
A letter left by the boy is as follows:
"To whomsoever shall find this:
To-day will be my last day on this
planet. l cannot stand the prospects
of what is coming, so good-by, chemis-
try, my life's sole desire and happiness.
What will happen afterward cannot
tell, but / hope that my spirit will
travel to another planet and God will
forgive and let me have another
chance.
"Since New Year have not touched
anything. and just as I thought that
the whole unhappy business was over
this happens and utterly ruins my life.
And hope the verdict will not be tenn
porarily insane because l am not.
"A last word. I should like my stuff

will remember me. &c. good-by, chem
istry, that love and adore and die
for.

permission to preserve the letter, but

own land, haul grain or drive stock
to town, it would have done only a
little more than it accomplished by
it's interdict against the freedom of
the sea- What was the order against
which we rebelled when we went in
to this war? Look at the condition of
the American farmer in the latter
part of 1914 and the first half of 1915
and see
When the war broke out, through
surprise and panic we partially gave
up for while the use of the sea as
a highway. And the farmers of
America faced ruin. I know an Iowa
farmer who sold his 1914 crop of 25,.
900 bushels of wheat for seventy cents
a bushel. Farmers in the south sold
their cotton for half the cost of pro
ducing it. All this time those por
tons of the world whose ports were
open were ready to pay almost any
price for our products. When finally
we set our ships in motion once more,
prosperity returned to the farms. But
it never returned for the farmers OF
those nations which remained cut OF
from ocean traffic.
Take the case of Australia. There
three crops have remained unsold on
the farms. No ships could be spared
to make the long voyage to Australia.
So in spite of the efforts of the Gov.
eminent to save the farmers from
ruin, grain has rotted in the open.
Millions of tons have been lost for
lack of market.
Such conditions spell irretricvable
disaster. Such conditions would have
prevailed in this country from the out
break of che war until now if our
Government had not first resisted with
every diplomatic weapon, and finally
drawn the sword.
Why did we draw the sword? To
keep up the price of wheat and cot
ton, and to protect trade only? If
someone should order you to remain
on your farm, and not to use the pub
lie highways, would your resistance
be based only on the fear of loss in
profits from failure to market your
crops? BY no meansl You would
fight to the last gasp! Not to make
but to be free

THE WAR, THE FARM
AND THE FARMER
BY Herbert Quick
Member Federal Farm Loan Board

1 The farmer everywhere loves
peace. The American farmer espe
eially loves peace Since the dawn Of
history, The farmer has been the man
who suffered most from war All that
he possesses lies out of doors in plain
sight and is spoil of war-his house
his grain. his livestock. The flames
that light the skies in the rear OF
every invading army are consuming
the things that yesterday represented
his life work, and the life labors OF
past generations of farmers.
Everywhere the farmer is warrior
when war is the only thing which will
make and keep him free. He cannot
rally to the colors as quickly as can
the dwellers in the cities, because it
takes longer to send to the farms the
call to arms. 1t takes longer to call
the farmers from the fields than the
city jewellers from the shops. Many
do not hear the first blast Of the
trumpet. Others do not at first under
stand it's meaning because they have
not had the time to talk the matter
over with their acquaintances. Instead
of reading half dozen extras day,
the farmer may read weekly papers
only. He must have more time in
sudden emergency to make up his
mind.
1t is impossible to set the farmers
of the United States on fire by means
of any sudden spark of rumor. But
when they do ignite, they burn with
q slow, hot fire which nothing can put
out They are sometimes the last to
heat up; but they stay hot. In long
fight they are always found sturdily
carrying the battle across No-Man's
Land in the last grim struggle. The
American farmer will give all that he
has and all that he is to win this
great war against war.
This war was at first hard to under
stand No armed foe had invaded the
United States. The night skies were
not Redeemed by burning ricks and
farm houses. No raiding parties
robbed us of our cattle or horses. No
saber-rattlers insulted our women. 1t
seemed to many of us that we were
not at war-the thing was so far off.
We did not realize what a giant war
had become-a monster with a thou
sand arms that could reach across the
seas and take from us three-fourths OF
everything we grew But finally we
raw that it was so.
If the Imperial German government
had made and enforced an order That
10 American farmer should leave his
fThjs is the first Of three articles. II

STACKER STUNNED IN PRISON

Register.

Chicago.-William Lawrence Sauer,
bootmaker to Chlcago's society before
he became mere shoemaker at the
Bridewell, because he failed to explain
to Judge Lands why he did not regis
ter for the draft, is not satisfied with
his lot. He has pet!tioned the super
lntendent of the Bridewell to take him
out Of the shoe shop and give him work
where his fellow prisoners will not be
so rude.
"Sauer complains that his fellow
workers in the shoe shop pass remarks
and won't have anything to do with
him because he is Stacker" Superin-
tendent Smith declared. "He doesn't
seem to like the atmosphere Of the
shoe shop.
II believe he will never get good
treatment from the other inmates be-
cause, while they will chat with a gun
man or strike up friendship with a
thief, they have no use for Stacker"
