LUDENDORFF AWAKENS

Crush the American army, is the order issued by General Ludendorff to his men. He is awakening to the realization of the greatest, new dan ger to Germany.
 And tho his men have tried the Yankees proved superior and to Am ericans may be attributed in large part the success of General Foch in crushing out the Rheims -Soissons salient.
 Ludendorff will find that the job of crushing the American army, which, he says in orders to his men will form the nucleus of greater allied armies, is one that he cannot do, just the same as the kaiser could not crush the British and French armies.
 Germany has not yet felt the full weight of Americas military power, and she will not until next year, and that power can grow for several years to come.
 Troops from America have turned the tide of battle, and with the turn ing of that tide the kaiser's sun began to set.

GIVES WAR SAVINGS
 STAMPS WITH SHOES

A unique sales plan is being work ed by J. Rutstein, manager of the shoe department of Rcsenzweig's Good Luck Store, in putting on big shoe sale today. Instead of reduc- ing the prices on the shoes, Mr. Rut- stein has computed the amount of the proposed reduction and is giving the purchasers thrift stamps for that amount.
 "Of course this plan is far different from the usual sales," said Mir. Rut- stein in discussing the sale." as we actually pay out the difference be- tween the sale price ad the original price, whereas ordinarily we simply fail to receive the difference between the sale price and the higher price we might have gotten. But the plan of- fers us an opportunity to aid the War Savings Stamp campaign by interest ing many people in the stamps who may not be doing their full part. and at the same time means the sale of more stamps to be added to Jefferson county's quota, which is far from being filled"

-N. D. O.------------ RECONSTRUCTION

The Jefferson county exemption board, in reclassifying men in class ? and placing them in class 1, are only carrying. out orders of the war de- partment, issued months ago and re- called ito their attention by a recent bulletin from the adjutant general.
 Tho we have heard of no other Ar kansas boards starting this work yet, they soon will be, for the adjutant general would not instruct one coun- tvs boards to reclassify men and not issue the order to others.
 The United States must have the men and the men should be willing to gc. Local boards may have made some mistakes but they will be reti- fled if the registrant takes advantage of opportunities for have just con- sideration of his claims.
 The government does not desire to disintegrate family life and family ties, but the government must main. tain itself and to do so now requires the raising of a large army, else there will be no American govern < msnt.
 Z There are many men in deferre,
