The part of good Americans is to keep cheerful and busy. Of course we can't keep our thoughts from ling ering toward French battlefields where our boys are, and we know that big battles bring proportionate casualties. They are smiling and fighting for a great cause and would have us smile and work for the same great cause. A French officer pointed to the hill of Vefdun and said, "One hundred and ten thousand Frenchmen died there. ' To the reply that was a great many many, he replied, "Yes, but not too many" Whatever the price it will be worth it. It will not have been in vain.

We are told that there are a h&lf million Germans in the big pocket from which they are trying to extrl- cate themselves Possibly more than that are at the pocket openings en- deavoring to hold back the tide until the army escapes. When you realize the ma gnitude of the operation you will understand why the armies of Foch do not close the bag in day We must not lose sight of the fact that the victory is already one of the great est Of the war and that success grows from day to day. Neither are we to conclude that this victory will end the war, although it likely renders the German hope of ultimate victory i'm possible. Gettysburg is said to have decided the Civil War, though the war lasted long time after that. We know now that we are going to win the war and that the tide has definitely turned in our favor.

Again another German peace pro- posal has been launched, and again ii is unreasonable and impossible. The Allies no longer care to hear peace terms, for there is nothing to discuss Before peace can come the military au- tocracy must go and the Hohenzollern dynasty must be thrown from power Otherwise America will continue tC raise and send over armies until Hun power is smashed into dust. Presl- dent Wilson has said we will meet force with force to the uttermost. Ger man Kulture has forfeited all right to a discussion of anything around a round table.-They who declare that treaties are but scraps of paper and that might makes right.

Took CarbOlic Acid by Mistake
 With Fatal Results.

From DeQueen Bee:
 Mrs. Dyer, wife of Capt. J. B. Dyer, on Wednesday evening, just about dusk drank some carbolic acid, mistaking it for medicine, and lived but brief time after making the fatal error.
 pr. Owens who was in the neighbor- hood, was hastily summoned, as were also Drs. Archer and Hopkins, but they were unable to render assistance to the unfortunate woman.
 Mrs. Dyer had been an invalid for a long period and for some time had been in unusually feeble health. On Wednesday her son, Will and her daughter, Mrs. Emil Stebler, came to DeQueen from Shreveport for the pur- pose of taking their mother to Hot Springs for recuperation.

 Appraised at it's lowest probable value, officers say, the counter-stroke already has drawn in the enemy s most vital necessity, his reserves. His whole plan of campaign has been over turned in less than a week and it is regarded as more than probable that the initiative seized by General Foch will remain in his hands permanently to be amplified into blows at other parts of the line.

PREPARE NOW FOR FALL AND
 WINTER FEEDS

Next fall thousands of questions will be asked and thousands of letters written to agricultural papers. to the department of agriculture and the experiment stations, asking what are the cheapest feeds to be used ip fat tening hogs. Next fall, however, is about six months toe late to ask ques- tions of this kind. Such questions should be asked now. They should be asked now, simply because the cheapest feeds next fall and winter will be the ones planted this spring and early summer. And if feeds are not planted this spring and early summer there will be no cheap feeds next fall and winter.
 The crops to be used for fattenjns pigs in the fall and early winter de- pend upon many factors, but in the coastal section, peanuts, soy beans, and velvet beans grow luXuriantly, while in the Piedmont and mountain sections soy beans will probably be used as substitute for peanuts. Many other crops are valuable, as cowpeas, chufas and sweet potatoes; but infor- nation secured at the experiment sta tions indicates that peanuts, soy beans and velvet beans are the most valuable fall and early winter grazing crops. Cowpeas afford about one half as much grazing per acre as soy beans.-The Progressive Farmer.

A BOY WRITER

Bishop, who is not yet years old and was only in the 4th grade in our public school the last term The composition as Maxie call cd it, is just as he composed it, spell ing and all. We learned that he was aroused to do this by a,; argument with his two sisters, Misses Willie and Reva, and when it ended he went to his grandfather s, Dr. A. 3. Bishop, went into the room to the typewriter and started this about Paul Jones. What amused his grandparents was he put all this down from memory with cut even note, book or any data whatever:

Paul Jones was one of the brsvest sailors he fought. against the English He had the honor of raising the first flag on an American man) -of-war. The Ameri- cans had no good ships or trained sol diers like the British. They had only rotten pieces of ships. The Americans made Paul Jones Commander or ship which was not much of a ship but lot of logs. One day he was sailing around and he saw affect of British men -of-war 8 short distance off ne made up his mind that he would cap ture the largest one of them, which he thought to be fine merchant vessel when he came close he found his mis- take. It was big British War ship. The Commander turned and ran he got away Another time he saw lot of merchant vessels with two big bat tie ships guarding them. Paul Jones decided he had had enough of fighting merchant ships so he dashed away for the battleship. Two of his best guns burst at the first shot. The bat tleship was big enough to make mince- meat of Pauls ship. Soon the big guns of the British ship were playing havoc swith the sides fo the little ship.
