u. S. MAY BUILD SUPER-cANoN
 ORDNANCE DOUBTS ITS VALUE

Washington, April 2.-Plans for a super-cannon, great gun of long range, possibly similar to the one with which the Germans have been bombarding Paris have been submit ted to Secretary Daniels by naval ordnance experts after months of experiment. It is understood, how ever that the report includes a statement that the ordnance officers do not believe the military value of such a weapon would compensate for the time and money which must be spent in perfectihg and develop ing it.
 American ordnance officers have been interested in the possibilities of long range guns for the last 10 years. The belief that the game was not worth the candle" as one officer

SHALL WE ORGANIZE A
 TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION?

Believing that great good can be accomplished by the organizing of the teachers of Lee county into a live. working association for the advancement of the educational in terests of our county, state and no tion, we therefore, desire and request every white teacher in Lee county to meet at the public school building in Marianna on Saturday. April 20, 1918. at 10 o'clock a. m., for the purpose of perfecting such an orga- nization
 By united effort the teachers of our county can do much toward the winning of the war. by teaching con- servation, thrift and industry. Let us not only do our mite but our best.
 Yours to serve,

report success with sorghum if the hogs are turned into the field when the plant is about a foot high, thus inducing them to eat the tender blades along with the immature juice However, sorghum is usually cut and carried to the hogs after it has reached maturity.
 It would be well to make several plantings of sorghum in order that it will not all become ripe at the same time. If we are to increase Arkan- sas swine production 300,000 head, in order to meet the demands of our soldiers and our allies, We must raise more forage crops for the hogs, and sorghum will certainly have a place toward bringing the hogs through the greater part of July and August Arrange to make sew eral plantings of early Amber and Orange sorghum.
 Yours very truly,

FARMERS MUST MILL
 WHEAT BY MAY 1
AMOUNT LEFT ON HAND AFTER THAT DATE, EXCEPT FOR SEED PURPOSES, GOES TO THE GOV ERNMENT.

J. M Hewitt. food administrator for Lee county, has received the following important notice from Hamp Williams, food administrator for Arkansas:
 Farmers having wheat must get same ground into flour IMMEDIATE LY!
 Please ascertain names of farmers who have grown wheat, amount of that product in their possession, and notify them as follows:
 All wheat held by farmers in Arkansas must be ground into flour by May 1st. Farmers will be per personal use and for seed purposes. The remainder must be sold to the government. This action is neces- sary to offset the shortage of flour In event farmers do not comply with this order, please let me know. have positive instructions to re- quisition all wheat not milled by May 1. This shall do. Farmers who fail to comply to the order to grind their wheat into flour by May l will be regarded as giving aid and comfort to the enemy. The govern ment has already seized 100000 pounds of wheat in New Mexico. Let us hope I will not have to re- quisition a pound in Arkansas. Wheat sold to the government will bring the government price. The government will not take anything 1t does not pay for, but Arkansas wheat must be milled by May l.
 Provide me as soon as possible with a report containing names of farmers having wheat in their pos session and amount of wheat they have on hand Give me postoffice addresses of such farmers.
 "The food administration at no time has made any rules or regula- tions which in any sense restrict the use of cotton seed meal for fertilizer This impression seems to have gained ground from some source. The food administration states, on the contrary, it's attitude mas Oeen that the cTuSHihS HiiS must give to the farmers of the south preference in the sale of their cotton seed meal over the com mercial mixers. The farmers may in this way purchase their raw ma terials and mix their own fertilizers. thereby saving in their investment from 20 per cent to 25 per cent of the cost of commercial fertilizer"

makes it easy to cut and to carry to the hogs
 This is of special advantage to the man who is not situated so he can all low his hogs to graze upon the for age crops. Sorghum seeded in the first week of April will furnish some grazing the latter part of June and first of July before the soy beans or cowpeas are available. Do not depend upon sorghum for the young pigs. They make no use at all of the leaves and the fibrous parts of the stalk. Their stomachs are too small for such bulky roughage put older hogs can use roughage to considerable extent. Some farmers

 Reports were heard in some quart CTS yesterday that a range of 105 miles was expected by the gun now under consideration. Secretary Dan- iels would not discuss the matter in any way, but other officials declared that no definite data was at hand on which to make any such estimate.

SAYS HOT WATER WASHES POlSONS
 FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot water with phosphate in 1t,
 before breakfast.

To feel as fine as the proverbiai fiddle, we must keep the liver washed clean, almost every morning, to pre- vent it's sponge-like pores from clog ging with indigestible material. sour bile and poisonous toxins, says noted physician.
 If you gel headaches, it's your liver. If you catch cold easily, it's your liver. If you wake up with bad taste, furred tongue, nasty breath or stomach be- comes rancid, it's your liver. Sallow skin, muddy complexion, watery eyes all denote liver uncleanliness. Your liver Is the most important, also the must abused and neglected organ of the body. Few know it's function or, how to release the dammed-up body waste, bile and toxins. Most folks resort to violent calomei, which is a dangerous. salivating chemical which can only be used occasionally because it accumulates in the tissues, also attacks the bones.
 Every man and woman. sick or well, should drink each morning be- fore breakfast, a glass of bot water with teaspoonful of limestone ph0s- phate in 1t, to wash from the liver and bowels the previous days indigestible material, the poisons, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing. sweetening and freshening the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach.
 Limestone phosphate does not re- strict the diet like calomel, because it can not salivate, for it is harmless and you can eat anything afterwards. It is inexpensive and almost tasteless. and any pharmacist will sell you quarter pound, which is sufficient for dem- onstration of how hot water and lime stone phosphate cleans, stimulates and freshens the liver, keeping you feeling 6t day in and day out.

Federal Prosecution imminent
 The county food administrator has the names and addresses of num- Der of people in Lee county who have not complied with the govern ment's order to return excess flour.
 The loyalty of these people will soon be open to doubt.
 The food administration will allow only a limited time for these people to put themselves right with their neighbors.
 Notice of compliance should now be sent to the county administrator.
 Remember the penalty is $5,000 fine and two years in the federal penitentiary, or both. in addition to the scorn of your friends as Ger man sympathizer.

SANDBAGS SAVE MANY LIVES
Italian Authorities Must Be Given
Credit for Resourcefulness In
Modern Warfare.

No belligerent has shown more re-
sourcefulness than the Italians in de-
vising novel means of offense and de-
Tense, says writer in Wide World
Magazine. The Italian army was the
only one to enter the war with a trench
helmet and steel chest protector, and
it Is now provided with more efficient
body shield than is possessed by any
other of the warning nations.
Early In the war it was discovered
by the Italians that many lives could
be saved in skirmishing at close quar-.
tiers If the soldiers carried or pushed
bags Of sand in frort tom, and the
present body shield n,s zen an out
growth Of that idea.
They are made In the one-man and
two-man type. The former are worn
by infantry advancing in the open, at
tached to the shoulders by a pair of
light steel arms and are long enough
to protect the head and vital organs OF
man standing erect. Lying at full
length, or even crouched, it covers him
completely. Each shield is pierced with
q small, round eyehole aud an oblong
loopaoe for firing from, both of which
may he closed by sliding door when
not In use.
The two-man shield is principally
used in wire cutting. 1t is carried on
the back Of one man, who may also
work his rifle from loophole in the
top, while 5 second man works a long
wire-cutter through a hole at the bot
tom. 1t Is held up by short legs il the
first man desires to move independ-
emily.

COULD HEED CALL OF WILD.
Being His Own Boss, This Lucky Man
Listened to Appeal and Hied Him
to Happiness.

A flock of geese, northward bound,
on his desk, his window open to the
breezes Of the morning, he heard the
call. For an hour he sat amid the con-
fiicting sounds of great city hurrying
about its work. But his thoughts were
miles away. His eyes were dreamy.
The spell of the wild was upon him.
He wandered in fertile fields awak-
Ing to renewed life. He beheld the
meadows lush with grass. He sat be-
side wide flowing rivers and tiny
brooks whose waters rushed in foamy
splendor from billy heights above. He
wandered to wooded slopes, with trees
a-bud and wild flowers peeping from
beneath dead leaves. A peace was his
which seldom came In his workaday
existence in the land of pavement and
beehive dwellings. He dreamed on.
Brook trout in speckled splendor rose
to his captivating hook. Camp fires lit
the darkness of his dream night. The
odor of burning pine wood and of siz-
zling trout and bacon filed his nos
trils. He ate food such as his city
chefs had never learned to cook, with
an appetite his city stomach had long
since lost. In a single hour he dreamed
more happiness than had been his for
a decade.
He closed his desk. Another hour
found him grubbing in the recesses of
the attic. By noon, clad in beautifully
ancient garments, with satchel in his
hand and fishing rod carefully In
cased in waterproof cover under his
arm, he was at the railroad station. A
half hour later he was on his way to
the wilds. And smile such as he had
not smiled In months graced his fea.
lures.
Lucky mani He was his own boss

PREFACE

For ID years the kaiser was
my patient. All I know of him
and all that he told me came to
me while the relation Of patient
and dentist existed between US.
For that reason ! felt at first
that, no matter how vital to the
allied cause might be the infor-
nation / could give as to the kali
ser's viewpoint. ambitions and
plans, the requirements of pro-
fessional ethics must seal my
lips and compel me to withhold
1t from the world at large.
When, however, / considered
the grave crisis that confronts
the world and In which my own
country Is playing so important
a part, and realized that what /
knew of the kaiser might prove
Of some value to civilization, /
concluded that my patriotic duty
was paramount and rose SUI
perior to any Of the ordinary de-
mands Of professional ethics.
In this conclusion / was
strengthened by the urgent solici-
tation Of the leaders Of my pro-
fession who were most emphatic
In their contention that my
ethical qualms were entirely I'M
warranted in view OF all the cir
cumstances.

Burial in Old English Churches.

The places of burial beneath many
of the old churches in England are
arranged in different ways. In many
cases the burial is made in a grave
dug in the soil. as is done in an open
graveyard. In some cases there Is
crypt beneath the main floor, the crypt
being practically one large vault. and
here the collins are deposited on
shelves Of stone. Sometimes the crypt
is divided into separate vaults which
are really small rooms enclosed on all
sides by stone walls.

Vegetable Seed Crop Promising

4 majority of the growing vege-
table seed crops are in good condi-
ton, according to reports just re-
ccived from many large growers in
the United States by the seed re
porting service of the Bureau of
Markets. Growers in the East and
Middle West almost uniformly re-
ported on June % good growing con-
ditions. Some failures have been re-
ported for some crops in certain sec
tons, particularly California and the
Tactic Northwest. where hot wealth
er during June damaged many crops
severely. Crops growing in the
river districts of California have
suffered the least from drought and
the prospects in these sections are
that fair TO normal seed crops will
be harvested. Hot weather in the
spring in the western section will re-
suit in damage ranging from Slight
damage" to IS per cent, according to
local conditions.
