SOME OTHERS AR LAGGiNG PAIN. FULLY, HOWEVER. SAYS
 HEMINGWAY.
PULASKI IS OVER THE TOP
State Fortunate in Aavinq It's Quota Increased Only 50 Per Cont h. stead of t2o Per Cent. as
 Some Were.

A h- hoIh.-6ermanys latest peace move should be stimulant in. stead of being deterrent, as the kaiser hoped. to the Fourth Liberty Loan. declared W. L. Hemingway. State chairman. upon his return from St. Louis the first of the week.
 Germany sought to call the presi. dents hand in the middle of the loan campaign" said Mr. Hemingway. but got called in short order The presi. dent. like the nation, will condu,t no negotiations. binding or otherwise, with ruler such as the kaiser. for he knows that nothing is binding with the kaiser when the kaiser sees fit to ignore the agreement"
 The only grounds upon which we can discuss peace with the Huns IS when the German Kaiser says he IS defeated and wants to surrender. not to barter. We are having no trade with Germany controlled by the Kais- CT. Hindenburg and such, and want none"
 The war. MT. Hemingway believes, will be fought with new vigor by the Allies troops as result of the kali ser's crude attempt to avert surrender. But with the Germans backs to the wall 1t Is going to be a struggle to down thsm completely. Unless they are downed. however. there will be a recurrence of the present world con- migration just as soon as the kaiser can reconstruct his battered armies.
 Fifteen counties of Arkansas, MT. Hemingway said. had passed their quotas Monday. among them Pulaski County and Little Rock. Several of these counties went lover the top" with rush.
 Honor Roll Of Fifteen.
 The counties over the top arc: North half of Arkansas, Bradley. Cross. vest half of Clay. Desha. Lawrence, Greene. Lafayette. Lee, Monroe, St Francis. Saline. Baxter, Phillips and Pulaski.
 Some other counties. Mir. fleming way said, have been tagging and their returns were discouraging Many of them, however, this week began in- tensive campaigns which promised to put them over the top by the last of this week.
 Arkansas should meet it's $24,000,- 900 quota easily" said MT. fleming way.
 While the quota for this State was about 50 per cent greater than it's quota in the third loan, what about Missouri. with no per cent increase What about Illinois with a 120 per cent increase! What about Tennessee with a 100 per cent increase7
 Little Rock Over the Top.
 Little Rock and Pulaski County. states quota, went "over the top" in idst ore week Two-thirds of the auota was raised On the tive volunteer lays, and last Saturday night Liberty Loan headquarters announced that 34, 1 2SO 900 had been subscribed. The quota was S4.240,000. Work here is contin- uing. to reach big oversubscription.
 After the volunteers came forward. he solicitors started out They had cards upon which quotas for every citizen had been printed. and when a aitizen failed to meet his subscription. there had to be a lot of explaining and proving done.
 Every citizen was made to under stand that 1t was his duty to do his share.
 There has been reaction from the cotton price fixing agitation and cot ton again is on the upward trend, and his, MT. Hemingway believes, will aid materially in bringing up some of the 1 backward counties.
 Eastern Arkansas showed to the 1 front in the first week of the cam paign, a majority of the counties go- ng over the top being located in the eastern part of the State.
 To Paint Him Yellow.
 Getting back to Pulaski County. here are several residents of the Cap tai City who have not come up to their ,uotas, or who have refused to sub scribe at all
 One Is a pawnbroker. reputed to be one of the wealthiest men in Little Rock. He was assessed S50,0o0. He offered to subscribe s15.000, but the subscription was refused. Then he went to a bank which had not been notified of the assessment and sub ,cribed 3l0.O00 This has been ord sred returned by the local organiza- ion.
 Before long, the big blackboard at Capitol avenue and Main streets Is go- ng to bear only one mans name It gill be that of the pawnbroker. and lround 1t will be nice bright frame ,f flaming ySllow. That's how Ark l conifaI rstv ia troaf{nN men
