But for the promise of Speaker
Clark to cast his vote from the chair
for the resolution If it was needed, the
change of a single vote to the oppo-

TEA PARTY WITHOUT TEA

Three meals "A day are enough for

and somebody else needs badly. When
you ask your friends in for the after

Let it be known that you have tax
en- a stand against the extra meal.

lack of refreshments, treat it as n
matter of course, and do it in the
same spirit that you knit socks or

PLANT MARQUIS WHEAT

The following letter from the dire
tor Of the Marquis wheat campaign
is very important to us at this time.
Read it.
Campaign is progressing in your coun-
tv. This committee has sent a dozen
pledge cards to each teacher in the
county asking her to distribute them
through her pupils.
The children of the United States
are eager to give public service and
do all they can to help win the war.
The teachers are requested to make a
list of all the farmers in their school
district and assign parents, relatives
and |noiehbors to the children WHO can
conveniently get this information.
The first page of the pledge, adVo-
eating the growing of More and Bet
ter Wheat" ays that it is every
mans duty to raise as much as he
possibly can and that the pupil has
obtained the pledge from some farm
er in the school district agreeing TO
give national public service by grow
ing Marquis Wheat in 1913 and dur
ing the war.
It then gives his acreage for 1917
and states how much he is wiling To
Increase his acreage for 1913. 1t also
asks him how many bushels of seed
wheat he has for sale and whether he
will need seed wheat, whether his
seed is free from weed seeds and that
he viii agree to clean his seed with
"a tanning mill and treat it with for.
m%aldchydc for smut.
The pupil then detaches the blank,
signs it and returns it TO the teacher
leaving the general circular with the
farmer. In this way it is expected to
reach every farmer in the county and
find out what his exact situation is
in regard to the wheat yield for 1913.
The pledges are to be sent to the Crop
Improvement Committee, Chicago,
who VIII return seed testers to the
pupils obtaining the pledges.
We will have a moving picture 70
be shown in all the picture houses in
your county as soon as dates can be
arranged. A Marquis wheat meeting
will be held in the next month or tWo
under the auspices Of the Agricultural
College and the Seed Wheat Commit
toe.
Will you please call attention to
this work that the teachers may be
encouraged TO do their part on time?
We thank you for your co operation
all along the line,
Very truly yours,
Bert Ball,
Director of Plans.

TO THE VOTERS:

to the people o. the 22nd Senatorial
District, composed of the counties of
Howard, Sewer and Little River:
Since Little River County has had
but one State Senator in all its His
tory, GA years ago. and Howard Co.
has had the last two, it seems, from
patriotic standpoint, bat lair anG
Democratic, that Little River County
should have the next Senator.
Among other things I am especial
~ in favor of repeating the Fire Insur-
aace Actuary Bureau, which is A Gil
GANTIC LOCALIZED Trust, which per-
mits the Fire Insurance Companies to
TX tie rate of insurance and make it
= pelQ.!ty COR any other company to
insure the peoples property for loss
rate than fixed by the Trust. in fact
II cuts cut I'll competition. Is it right?
Last year the fire losses i'll Arkansas
we're 50 per cent less than in any
previous year, and still the Fire Insur-
ance Trust raised the premiums Is
per cent over all previous premiums;
Where was the necessity for it?
The Statistics O. the Fire Insurance
Companies show that the Fire Insur-
ance Companies have always made
profit in Arkansas, notwithstanding the
great loss in the Hot Springs Fire in
1914, still the excess profits flched
rom the people in 1917 We're practic-
ally four and one-half million dollars
more than in any previous year.
The repeal of this law was attempt

failed. l an sure it viii come before

HIPS Loss Is Serious.
All night long the fight went on and
it was not until today that the Ger
mans succeeded in storming up the
slopes of the height.
The loss of KENNEL hill is serious,
| for it overlooks much of the low
lands lying back of the allies lines in
the Ypres salient. The hill is 464
feet high, rising from lowlands on
the south and east. 1t is six miles
southwest of Ypres and three miles
west of Wytschaete. :.
