WHICH SHALL 1T BE
DOGS OR SHEEP?

There is a saying IN this
country, and it has grown into
an adage, that the legislator
who desires to commit political
suicide has only to introduce
and father a dog law and the
people will attend to the obse-
quies.
Yet the one thing which
Arkansas stands urgently in
need is just such legislative
timber-men who are willing
to forego political preferment
if by so doing they can confer
a great benefit upon the coun-
try.
We are told by the time ano-
ther clip is made wool will be
worth two dollars a pound.
This in country than which
there is no better in the world
for sheep raising.
What must be the amaze
ment of the peoples of other
countries when they are told
that the only reason Americans
are not sheep raisers is because

morrow. We are going from

New York city. | don't think
we will stay there more than
about two weeks before taking

shut off the mail to us for

coMMENpABLE ENTERPRISE
American Beet Sugar Co. Furnishes
Monthly Letter TO Each of Its
Boys Who Have Enlisted.

TO look over the Monthly Bulletin
of the American Beet Sugar Co., which
they issue to send to each of their en-
listed men, is to gain some idea of the
extent this enterprising and patriotic
company will go in order to do its
part in Frightening up the soldiers
life of the boys who have worked for
the company. 1t will probably be II
considerable surprise to most of our
readers to learn that the factories and
farms of the company in the Arkansas
valley alone have furnished between
I25 and $50 young men for the army
and navy. The monthly bulletin is
no small affair, but is composed of u
dozen or more pages of closely writ
ten typewriter size sheets, containing
more than a page of matter in an
average sized newspaper After Civ
ing details of the company's affairs
and conditions in the valley, it under
separate headings goes into personal
details from each office and factory
and farm of the company in this val
ley, and beats letter from home as
a general information bureau about
what your old time friends and neigh
bors are doing. 1t also gives letters
from various enlisted boys and general
ly makes up such message as any of
the boys in the camps or trenches will
look forward to with the greatest
eagerness. 1t is bound to be a SON
siderable item of expense but is just
one more evidence of the deep interest
the company has always taken in the
welfare and pleasure of its employees.

Chosing His Friends.

When President Wilson first took
charge of the negotiations between
this country and Mexico he was un-
willing to pay attention to the reports
of the tried and fire-tested diplomats
who at the risk of their lives had been
upholding the country's honor and de-
Tending its citizens for months through
a reign of terror. He had to choose
a special representative to go down
there and get the real facts. So he
picked Bayard Hale, who is now under
arrest as traitor and spy of Germany.
1t is no wonder that everything pos
sible was done to keep the trouble be-
tween this country and Mexico at fever
heat for years or throughout the pre-
sident's first term.

For twenty-five years it seems to
have been almost impossible for the
republicans to get ticket in the field
either for the primaries or general

nerve at all for he promptly bobs up
again at the next election. He gen
orally spends the week after the cleo

for contesting, and then cheerfully be-
gins his next campaign. Between
times he lives by grating on the pub

plause. The band yesterday entertain

many compliments for their excellent

Republican Candidates.

During the past week several of the
prominent candidates on the state re-
publican primary ballot have visited
Lamar and circulated among our peo-
Pile. They have not advertised any
vaudeville shows or circus stunts to
attract attention and draw n crowd
but they have succeeded in meeting
hundreds Of citizens and won the re-
spect of all. Hon. Chas. w. Waterman,
one of the ablest orators and attor-
neys of the state. and who measures
up to the highest standard of ability
that Colorado has ever sent to the
national capital, was here in the in
terest OF his candidacy for the republi-
can nomination for the senatorship.
Hon. Oliver II. Shoup. substantial
business man of Colorado Springs and
one of the states heavy contributors to
the Red Cross and other war funds,
visited our city yesterday as repub-
lican candidate for governor and made
a splendid impression on all who met
him. They are both men who have
done much to make Colorado n splen-
did state to live in, and whether they
hold office or not will always be men
of force and material factors in up
building the commonwealth.

GOVERNMENT TO AID
Federal Aid for Fall Wheat Farmers
in Drought Districts.

For the purpose of extending aid
to farmers who have lost two consecu
tive fall grain crops through drought
or similar natural causes, the presi-
dent has appropriated the sum of $5,-
900, 900 to be loaned to such farmers
to enable them to purchase seed for
this falls planting. Loans will be
made on the basis of SO per acre for
not more than 100 acres for one farm
er, but in each case the farmer must
be able to prove failure of 2 consecutive
fall grain crops and that he has no
security or credit upon which he can
borrow $500. He must also show that
his land is well suited to fall wheat
or a substitute fall grain crop, and
that he has the machinery, stock, etc,
necessary to the production of crop.
The procedure is as follows:
Application blanks may be secured
at the local bank and should be filled
out and left with the banker. The
county agent of that county (or the
nearest agricultural agent if there is
none in the county, will inspect the
application and investigate its truth
and the standing Of the applicant. II
the loan is approved the representa-
tive of the department of agriculture
at Wichita, Kansas, will be notified
and il he approves it he will issue a
certificate stating that upon proof that
The crop has been properly planted the
money will be Forthcoming. II is ex-
pected that the local bank will carry
the loan between the time the seed
is needed and the time when il is plant
ed and the government money is avail
able.
At the time Of proving proper plant
ing the farmer will make a note and
chattel mortgage, maturing October |.
1919, and bearing interest at 6 percent.
and will execute Guaranty Fund
agreement providing that he viii pay
Is cents per acre planted for every
bushel by which the average yield of
the crop exceeds six bushels per acre
with Il maximum contribution of 75
cents per acre to the fund.
In the opinion of the Commissioner
Of the Colorado state board OF inn
migration, who represented this state
at the conference in Wichita last week,
there will be few applications for loans
in Colorado. as the limitations are
such that there are not many farmers
who are qualified to participate in the
loan. 1t is not intended to increa re
wheat production but is solely for the
purpose of aiding farmers who cannot
buy their own seed because of unfor-
tunate climatic conditions.
Further information may be obtain
ed by writing the State Board of I'm
migration or by taking the matter up
with the nearest county agent.

Giants of the SKY.

The largest warplanes are the bomb
dropping machines. They must be
capable Of carrying heavy loads of ex-
plosives. They are usually slow ma
chimes, speed being sacrificed to carry
ing capacity. The Italians have special
sd = big bomb machines. The huge
Caproni airplanes carry three men and
three guns, besides 2,750 pounds of *
p~losives. That makes a useful<load of
1000 pounds. The machine is driven
by three engines with a total of 900
horse power. Such enormous machines
are rather exceptional, however. Bomb
ing machines are usually conveyed by
fast fighting planes, and do not have to
defend themselves from attack in the
air. Often bombing raids are made at
night, and the big Italian machines are
provided with ''searchlight bombs" to
enable them to locate important spots
on the ground beneath. These are bril-
liant magnesium torches suspended
from parachutes, so that they fall slow
ly and give a broad illumination, while
the airplane itself is shielded from the
light by the parachute.-St. Nicholas.
