QUARANTINE PLACED
 OVER WHOLE STATE
Arkansas Board of Health Takes Action to Control
 Spanish Influenza.

At an emergency meeting Monday the State Board of Health issued an order placing a statewide quarantine on all localities where there is evidence 'of Spanish Influenza. This or der embraces all churches, thea tres, schools, motion picture shows and prohibits public gath erlngs at lodges and at homes. No special or bargain sales will be permitted in stores in order that the congregation of crowds may be discouraged. There is nothing in the order which bars public travel.
 Dr. Garrison said: "The dis ease may not spend itself for several weeks yet. An epidemic limits itself. Contagion gradual ly dlmlnishes in vilulency as it Us transmitted from one person to another. It is fortunate that the weather has been so warm and there has been so much sun- shine. In addition to pneumonia throat and middle ear trouble are likely to follow influenza.
 The quarantine order was sent over the entire state and there seems to be a splendid spirit of cooperation, said Dr. Garrison.
 Yesterday Dr. J. M. Jelks, White County Health Officer, received orders from the state and national authorities to close all public gathering places and especially all schools, churches and theatres. He at once pro- ceeded to do so. This order is therefore already in force. Dr. Jelks has also ordered every doe tor in the county to report to him each day the number of new cases, giving i ntheir first report the total at this time, Oct. Sth.
 By taking drastic action it is probable that the spread of the disease will be checked and the danger fessened to those who

 Every one of us will have to think this out honestly and carefully. It won't do to just buy as small bond as We can afford to buy. The Ameri- can front is weakened by that kind of patriotism. When the time comes to sign up for the Fourth Liberty Loan take every dollar you can spare and get into it for all you can possibly afford. It is good investment, none better in the history of the world. and it is helping to bolster up that Ameri- can front that is going to smash into the Kaiser's domain one of these days and send the whole German nation crashing down to defeat.
 When you buy bond you are mak- ing it certain that the American front is being supported all the way from France to your own doorway. It makes you part of that magnificent body of fighters who are massing over in France to put an end to the Kaiser's dream of levying tribute from a once free America.

BACKING LINE WITH BONDS
Support of Battle Forces Extends
 From France to Your Own i Doorway.

It was just after the American troops had taken over their first sec tor on the Western front one day last fall. An English officer was talking with an American captain who had just come back from tour of duty in the trenches. They were talking mili- tary problems and the Englishman asked:
 What is the depth of the Ameri- can front?"
 From the German barbed wire in No Mans Land to the Pacific Coast" was the American officers answer.
 Of course, the Englishman referred to military technicality when he asked his question, and yet the Ameri can captain was right. He told the whole story of American participation in the war when he made it plain that all of America is in the battle front.
 America had not been in this war six months till we all understood it was a different sort of a war from what we had expected. Years ago we all pictured war as struggle in which few from each community went away, while the great majority of the people stayed on at home and went about their business and life went along undisturbed. We know better now. We realize we are all in the struggle.
 All Are Enlisted.
 Those who cannot fight, who can- not work in war plants, who cannot help in Y. M c. A. huts or Red Cross hospitals can help nevertheless. The Liberty Loans offer an opportunity for every man and woman in America. for every American under the pro- tecting shadow of the Stars and Stripes to help support the battle front of America far across the seas in Europe.
 The front reaches all the way back to our pay envelopes, to the money that was brought in for load of wheat, to the returns from a corn crop, for building house, for days work at the mill or in the fields.

THE REAL KAISER REVEAL
 ED BY HIS OWN WORDS

One of the most unusual docu- ments that the world war has produced will appear in the Ad- vance in serial form beginning next week. 1t is an intimate study of the German emperor as he revealed himself to an American dentist, Dr. A. N. Davis, who was the kaiser's personal dentist from 1904 to 1918, and who, in that capacity, became intimately acquainted with the "War lord" In "The Kaiser is l Knew Him for Four teen Years" Doctor Davis re- veals to the world the private life and personal character of the man who has steeped the world in blood and disaster. In more than a hundred informal talks with the dentist, the kaiser discussed with the utmost frank ness the topics of the hour. He expressed his contempt for Pres ident Wilson and other lending men of the United States and displayed his growing hatred for America.
 This story is one that should be read and vii be read with the greatest interest by every per son in this community. Open- ing installment next. week.

much. It makes it just that much easier for the Americans to drive the Huns back It stiffens the American line by just so much against those grim massed attacks of field gray shock troops that Von Ludendorff loves to send against the Allied lines.
 Every Liberty Bond is helping the Americans, it is helping the French and the English and Italians, who are fighting as they have never fought before. It helps hold all the more solidly that deep American front that stretches back of No Mans Land and reaches all the way across the At lantic, across the Alleghenies, across the wide stretches of the Middle West, across the Great Plains and wall of the Rockies and ends at last at the Pacific beaches.
 That is what the American front is like for depth, and it is as wide as the country that stands back of us and as solid as the credit of American insti- tutions.

It can be kept as solid and enduring as the Rockies by every American lin- ing up to take his share of the Liberty Loan that is at hand. It cannot be kept solid and safe in any other way. IL takes money to fight wars and SUD- port armies. It takes more money to
