PLEDGE CARD CAMPAIGN
Government Wants To Know About
Food Production Definitely.

The U, S, Department of Agri-
culture, under the campaign for in.
creased food production, is putting
on Pledge Card Campaign
thrOuehout the entire state for the
purpose of safeguarding the people
OF every county against actual
need and suffering during the great
crisis of the war.
The campaign is carried out un
der a county board of inspectors
composed of the county food ad-
ministrators, chairman of the Coun.
Gil Of defense and the county 3eri-
cultural agent, where there Is one.
The county board of inspectors ap-
point district inspectors in each
school district throughout the Coun-
lty. In most cases the school di-
rectors arc appointed to take care
Of their district,
The campaign for increased food
production has met with approval
throughout the state, and the re-
sponse of the people has been Won
derful, but we arc beginning to re-.
alize that we have not yet done our
best in this cause However suC-
cessful this campaign may have
seemed to us, the national food sit
uation is indeed serious, and what
has been done may seem rather In
significant compared with what 1t
is possible for Us to do, and what
we may have to do If food Condi-
tons continue as they are, In
other words, The government says
80 far so GOOD" but that we have
not gone far enough yet, The GOV
ernment wants 1t in black and
white what the farmers are Goina
t. do about The food question,
Hence the Pledge Gard for crops to
be grown this ycor, and this Is the
lcXt step the government 10 asking
the people to take. 1t should be

securely safe from distress within
its own borders.
The inspectors for the different
school districts will be furnished
with the necessary pledge carda
and with BADGE of authority for
making this canvass. 1t shall be
the duty uf these district inspectors
to make a house to house canvass
Of the farms of said school district
and present to each farmer, whether
owner or tenant, one of the pledge
cards and assist him in filling it
out, The farmers name and ad
dress should be plainly written on
the pledae card so presented,
whether he fills out the same or
not, and in case OF refusal, write
across the face OF II refused.
Each school district inspector shall
be charged up with the exact num-
Der of pledge cards entrusted to
him and be required to return all,
whether filled in, refused or not
needed, within ten days from the
time he receives his supply Of
cards, After all pledge cards have
been assembled by the county
board they will be examined by

Cad Angle had a dream a few
nights ago. He dreamed lizard
crawled up his back, over his head,
down over his forehead and jump
ed off his nose. Just then Cad
awoke and it is a good thing he
did, for he was just minute and a
half ahead of a fit.-Blrck Rock
Correspondent of the Walnut Ridge
Blade.
We know exactly what Cad
Angle had been doing before he
had that dream.-Sharp County
Record.
Can it be possible the editor of
the Record is speaking from a
wealth of information gathered in
the school of experience. Arkansas
Gazette.
Why, sure. In our vast exper-
ience we have had a vision of all
the wild beasts of the field and the
vultures Of the air, the creeping
things of the earth. the monsters
under the deep, and bugs until you
couldn't count the things. We
grow a good many pumpkins to the
vine in matters relating to the par
ticular subject under discussion
Now then, if you don't believe all
this we are giving you, we can lead
you to a few fellows who will swear
to it. .-

A dispatch to the daily papers
says Field Marshal Hindenbure
and Chancellor Hertling have de.
cided to call up for military service
the German criminals of military
age, according to advices received
in Amsterdam" Judging from the
atrocities and outraees being COM
mitted by the German army, 1t has
been reasonable to suppose all
along that the entire criminal ele.
ment has been in the German army
all the time 1t would seem that
those criminals who are outside OF
the army could not be more vicious
than those criminals that have
composed the German army since
the beginning of the war.
o
The editor of this paper has been
here so long and, naturally, subject.
ed to so much criticism of one
kind and another that we long ago
learned to take that end OF the
business as a matter Of course. We
understand thoroughly there are
people who never miss an oppor-
tunity to find fault with the efforts
of this paper, however honestly
those efforts may be put forth. We
have come to expect that from Ger.
tain quarters, and would really be
disappointed If, by any chance, we
should escape.

Evidently the people have not
YET gone wild over politics and the
candidates. We can imagine that
the political pot Is not going to boil
over and spew all about as It has
been known to do in some former
years The big thought with most
people now Is a good distance re.
moved from petty politics.
