To the Democracy
of Cleveland County

But remember that their bland
ishments, and their fair promises
are but continuation of their
we'll known policy of trying to in
duce the people, by their votes,
to become the instruments Of
their own undoing If these
lordly exploi,ers of the public
should be able to land a smooth
servant like the oponent in the
legislature it would be more than
the fruti.ion of their foa lest
dreams.
If Mr.. Blodg tit says he will
not lean towards those who are
his principal boosters be by that
declaration PAGES himself in
contrast to all human ex; eriereas
and observation. Any man with
normal grattu lie feels under OBJ
legation to those to whom
he is indebted for his elevation.
Besides Mr.. B.odgett once told
as That he did not vote the Re.
publican ticket asa nst President
wilson, but out Of his own mouth
by agrcat cloud Of with ssas, he
stands convicted Of that charge.
SO let lis close ranks all along the
line, and engulf the opposition
beneath such an avaIanch of votes
that they will not soon have the
effron.ery 20 make another charge

I.'l1I St RED CROSS IS
DESPERATELY NEEDED
IL Is Up 90 the Civil Population to
Determine Length of the War,
George w. Simmons Says.

1t is right up to the civil population
of the United States 20 determine the
length of the war.
This is the stirring message sent to
this country and particularly to the
people of the Southwest by George w.
Simmons, manager of the Southwest
IN Division of the American Red
Cross, who is in France on tour of
observation for the War Council CT
That organization.
Simmons has been at the front With
the American forces; he has seen
what the boys from the Southwest and
other portions of the country are do
iHg; he has seen the work of the Red
Cross "over there" and he sends back
the message that il the people of the
whole United States only will realize
that this is q war of nations, not of
armies; remember that the American
army and navy will do their part, then
We can make sure of a victory for
America and her allies by acting as a
nation, thinking as nation, fighting
as nation. If we do that, Simmons
says in his message to the Southwest
cfn Division of the Red Cross, Amer
lea Will be the deciding factor in the
war.
Nothing else matters if We do not
win the war, Simmons says in final
appeal for harder Red Cross work and
more ships with which to transport
oar men and supplies and munitions.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
Unless all indications are de-
ceptive the unterrified and in
corruptable Democracy of the
County is on the eve of a decided
victory. We are not making any
new charges or offering any new
argument, as this is the last
issue of the paper, and we con-
slider it unfair to present new
matter so near the day of election
that the opposition will not have
a chance to fully answer. When
charges and arguments are with
held until the last iasue of the
paper before the election it is be-
cause their perpetrators know
that they will not stand the light
of investigation.
we charged TWO mOnCnS ago
that Mr.. Blodgett, the candidate
of the opposition, was and is, an
unreformed Republican, try
ing to trail with the Dem
ocratic multitude for the loaves
ar d fishes, and that charge
stands today unrefuted and ire
futable.
Now we warn you that the
Road Bond Sharks of Rison and
Kingsland are not going to be
idle the remaining days of the
campaign.
They and their little "yes-men"
are going to leave no stone un-
tnrned to put Mr.. Blodgett over.

RED CROSS HOME SERVICE

Home Service workers for the Red

and never talk or gossip about mat

fetal way. Instructions on this point
arc explicit and emphatic. a recent
communication says

last in your community if he told even
one person the confidential, private
Information his patients had revealed

JUNIOR RER CROSS IS
DOING SPLENDID WORK
HELPING To WIN WAR
Hundreds of Thousands in Southwest
ern Division Are Toling for
Men in the Trenches.

Hundreds of thousands of children

There are not better patriots in the
United States, in the whole world.
In cities and towns the children, a
majority of whom are members Of the
Junior Red Cross, are working in
thrift gardens, knitting sweaters,
socks, etc, for our soldiers, turning
old paper, rubber, metals and bottles
into cash and investing the returns in
thrift stamps and liberty bonds, MAX
ing refugee activity of the Red Cross
in which they can be Of service.
In the country the children, who
also generally are members of the
Junior Red Cross, are ra ling pigs,
sheep, rabbits, chickens, making gar
dens, doing general farm work to aid
in the production of foodstuffs, can
ming and preserving, and lik9 their city
cousins they are buying Thrift Stamps
and Liberty Bonds, knitting and max
ing refugee garments.
oSiiOOIo GIOSC ~ AiQ OAUIOISs
Many rural schools already have sus-
pended until next fall and thousands
Of children have begun Spring and
Summer campaigns which have for
their purpose the doing of everything
possible to win the war In major
ity of the towns and cities of the
Southwest the schools still are in SEES
sion and the children are taking their
ing on it al recess time and the noon
hour, then doing other Red Cross WORK
sfter school hours.
The pupils Of $500 schools in the

started early in February,
More th3n 100000 children Of the
S.. Louis schools are on the Junior

unique methods have been employed

Low Interest
For Farmers

The Federal Land Bank Of st.
-ouis was chartered on March |
[, 1917, and made its first loan
on July 2, 1917. Accepting the
report at the close of business
March 80, it is shown that 2, 1872
farm owners in the States of Ill
inois, Missouri and Arkansas
have received a total of 81, 112,-
900 in actual money paid out to
them, the great bulk of which
was on the basis of 5 per cent,
although the present rate is 5 l 2
per cent and the period IS years,
with the privilege of repayment
of all, at any interest-paying
period after the fifth year.
1t should be borne in mind
that the Land Bank does not lend
direct to the borrower but only
to members of a properly char
tered National Farm Loan AS
ISOLATION composed of ten
or more borrowers. The
organization of these Assoc
iations has taken considerable
time, but where the Association
has been perfected and the char
ter granted, the loans to new
members arc considered sepa-
rately or in groups, as they ap-
ply and are accepted by their
Associations; and, in many in
stances the applications of the
new members are greater than
those represented by the charter
applications, showing that these
Associations are serving their
sections in securing money from
the Land Bank to the farmers
of these sections in a business
like way, as was intended and
contemplated by the Act.
The loans by States, as of
March 80, have been as follows:
Illinois, $4,000; Missouri,
81, 756 $4,000; Arkansas, ST, 4o6,-
5000, and the loans in Arkansas
represent 953 separate borrowers
Of the three States Arkansas
has the most Associations and
in all but seven Counties, the
farmers have organized National
Farm Loan Associations; and, in
some Counties, as many as seven
different Associations. it is a
significant fact that the Coun-
ties that have County Demon
stration Agents are the ones
that are making the most pro-
gress in the organization of AS
sociations to secure money from
the Land Bank. In many of the
Counties the farmers themselves
have organized their own AS
sociations, selecting one of their
own members as Secretary
Treasurer or business agent, for
the Association. In other Coun-
ties, the local Banker has seen
Cleveland County herald. (Rison, Ark.) 1888-current, 1918-05-23


the good that would come to his
County as a result of cheap
money to the farmers and the
improvements and development
that they could do by reason of
this advantage; and, in these
Counties the Bankers are serving
as Secretary-Treasurers. In
other Counties, the newspaper
men are serving as Secretary
Treasures. In one County in
particular, the County Treasurer
is the Secretary-Treasurer; and,
in-that County more loans have
been made, numerically, than in
almost any other single County
in the State. In one County in
the rich agricultural section a
prominent Attorney is acting as
Secretary Treasurer; and in
other Counties, the local real
estate men are serving the far
mers as business agents of their
Associations. Thus it will be
seen that from all walks of life,
practically all over the State of
Arkansas, there are progressive
business men who appreciate the
advantage that comes to their
sections by reason of the organ
ization Of National Farm Loan
Associations to serve the Dor
rowing farmers of their commun-
tiles; and, to fail to give credit
to the President of the Arkan-
sas, Bankers' Association and the
members of that profession for
the good work they have done in
helping the farmers of their sec
tions, would be to fail to pay
just credit where much credit is
due.
At this date, there are only
seven Counties in the State of
Arkansas in which the farmers
have not completed National
Farm Loan Associations, and |
hope to see these have we'll or
ganized Associations, ready to
receive loans, within the next
sixty days, so that it can then be
said that every farmer in the
State of Arkansas can receive a
loan from this Land Bank by
simply becoming a member Of
his Association and having his
land properly appraised, as the
basis upon which to make the
loan. !Ghe Federal Land Bank
OF. ST. Louis is ready to cooper
a te "; II. Whose interested in this
result at all times and invites
correspondence in regard to
loans, or, in the organization of
Associations.

His Followers Say:
"ThE KAISER NEVER DELAYS"

The constitution vouchsafes to each
member of congress ONLY THE RIGHT
to express his will by casting his vote.
Discussion which delays action by con-
gres' Is not the exercise of any right re-
cognized by the constitution, but merely
privilege granted by congress itself.
The inefficiency and delays of con-
gress for the past year have been a
greater comfort to the kaiser than the
combined activities of all his agents and
spies in America. Individual congress-
men may not be culpable. but all are
jointly responsible for the conditions
which exist i'll that body the rules.

congress may enact necessary laws when
they are needed and repeal bad ones
