GERMANS WATCH 4TH LOAN
ticn Means Loss of War to Them.

The campaign for the Fourth Iib- erty Loan will begin Sept. 28 and close Oct. 19. The result of the loan will be watched with keen interest in Europe, says United States Treas rry official. not only by our associ- ates in the war against the Teutonic powers, but by our enemies. It will be regarded by them as a measure of tEe American peoples support of the war.
 The Germans know full well the tremendous weight and significances of popular support of the war. of the people at home backing up the army in the field. As the loan succeeds our enemies will sorrow; as it falls short they will rejoice. Every dollar sub ecribed will help and encourage the American soldiers and hurt and de- press the enemies of America.
 The loan will be test of the loyalty and willingness of the people of the United States to make sacrifices com pared with the willingness of our sol diers to do their part. There must be and will be no failure by the people to measure up to the courage and devo- ton of our men in Europe. Many of them have given up their lives; shall we at home withhold our money? Shall we spare our dollars while they spare not their very livesf
The Little River news., 1918-10-19

The last note of President Wilson's was the climax that brought German autocracy face to face with it's doom, and sealed forever their chances for a negotiated peace. Theirs will be the peace accorded by conquerer. Their next business will be with General Foch, whether in further argument on the field of battle or in the terms for an armistice. An armistice we are told will mean that they must lay down their arms and turn in their munitions of war together with the facilities of making them. They must surrender strong points of str gatic importance within their borders, and likely their fleet of submarines and navy In other words, they must be disarmed so that it will be no longer possible for them to renew the con- f1ict.

FRUIT PITS AND NUT SHELLS
 You are asked by the United States government to save certain fruit pits and stones and certain nut shells, and this is the reason:
 Carbon is used in the mask that saves the life of the American sol dier when he is attacked by German poison gas. The quality of the car ben depends in a large measure the efficiency of the gas mask. Fruit pits or stones and nut shells give the best carbon for the purpose.
 A pamphlet issued by the Chemi- cal Warfare Service of the United States army, which is in charge of of fensiye and defensive gas warfare, says the government wants peach stones, apricot pits, prune pits, plum pits, olive pits, date seeds, cherry pits, butternut shells, and hickory nut shells. Prunes alone should yield much of the material needed. It is not necessary to keep each kind of pit CT shell separate.
 The Chemical Warfare Service says that ito give our soldiers the best gas mask the government must have your individual efforts in the con- "servation and collection of these all important carbon giving articles. ,
 Get those words-your individual efforts. Are you saving fruit stones and pits and nut shells and depositins them in one Of the receptacles pro- vided for the purpose in Little Rock or are you throwing away these things out which carDon for gas masks can be made ?-Arkansas Ga zette

in the head, eyes, ears, back or other parts of the body and feeling of se- were sickness. In most of the cases the symptoms disappear after three or four days, the patient then rapidly recover ing. Some of the patients, however, develop pneumonia, or inflammation of the ear, or meningitis, and many of these complicated cases die. Whether this so-called Spanish influenza is identical with the epidemics of infioen- ga of earlier years is not yet known.
 "Epidemics of influenza have visfteA this country since 16t7. It is interest ing to know that this first epidemic was brought here from Valencia, Spain. Since that time there have been numerous epidemics of the dis ease. In 1889 and 1890 an epidemic of influenza, starting somewhere in the Orient, spread first to Russia and tEence over practically the entire civ ilized world. Three years later there was another hare-up of the disease Both times the epidemic spread wide ly over the United States.
 Although the present epidemic is called Spanish influenEa,' there Is no reason to believe that it originated in Spain. Some writers who have studied the question believe that the epidemic came from the Orient and they call at- ton kn AA /~ o< xhn< mention the disease as occurring along the eastern front in the summer and fall of 1917."
 How Gan "epanish influenza" be rec. oonizedf
 There Is as yet no certain way in which . single case of Spanish infiu- enza' can be recognized. On the oth. CT hand, recognition is easy where there js group of cases. In contrast to tfB outbreaks of ordinary coughs and colds, which usually occur in the cold monthA, epidemics of influenza may occur at any season of the year Thus the present epidemic ragged most intensely in Europe in May, June and July. Moreover, in the case of Ordi- nary colds, the general symptoms (fever, pain, depressiom are by no means as severe or as sudden in their onset as they are in influenza. Final ly, ordinary colds do not spread through the community so rapidly or so extensively as does influenza.
 Tn most cases person taken sick with influenza feels sick rather sud denly. He feels weak, has pains in the eyes, ears. head or back, and may be sore all SSer. Many patients feel dizzy, some vomit. Most of the pa tients complain of feeling chilly, and with this comes a fever in which the temperature rises to 100 to 104. In most cases the pulse remains relative ly slow.
 Tn appeaeouce one Is struck by the fact that the patient looks sick. His eyes and the inner side of his eyeiids may be digh1ay 'blOodshot,' or con. gested, as the doctors say. There may be Funain1 from the nose, or there may ts Gnns cough. These signs of cold Hne Not be marked; never. |, theless the gne11pt looks aud feels very sick.

J. $. TREASURY E AN UNT|R|NG WATCHDOG
 ID sAFEGUARD BONDS
Means Are Taken to Protect Owner of Liberty securitieo of Every
 Issue.

Every item of financial legislation at Washington these days is coming un der the closest scrutiny of the Treas ury Department. and being put to the acid test to see that it is going to work out to the benefit of the Liberty Bond owner.
 Every influential measure which Cal, be brought to bear is utilized to cut down the number of sales of bonds in the exchanges and to keep up the price of what few bonds are sold.
 There is a remarkably small num- Der of such sales, and. the tendency ,f the market has been toward higher prices. The public, the small investo, in particular, is coming to know and realize more fully what treasure hia bond is to store up for the future. The Wall Street Journal, in recent issue, said:
 Money Is Cheap Now.
 "All the economies of war finance point to government bonds as the soundest and most far-sighted invest ment person can make during these times. Persons should realize that by investing in government bonds they are buying with cheap money call oa dear money in the future.
 "A dollar invested today will be worth perhaps 92 iii purchasing power after the war. If we exercise economy in personal expenditure and lend the savings thereby created to the verll- ment it will be repaid at a Ii uc wien those savings will be able to purchase perhaps twice as much as they can now. And after the war AZ per cent interest on a gilt-edged security will look relatively big.'

FARM PROSPERITY JAN BE PERMANENT
 IN BOND HOLDINGS
HIGH PRICES OWING TO WAR CONDITIONS MAY NOT CON-
 TiNUE INDEFINITELY.
BONDS WILL GAIN iN VALUE
Drouths and Bad Seasons Will Not Affect Income from United
 Statcs Securities.

The argument is being made in many sections of the country-and it is one based on solid truth-that out of the great wealth the war has brought to the farmers of the United States, in high prices of products, the wisest thing he can do is to invest in Liberty Bonds that will increase in value.
 Drouths may come in other years and spoil his crops; prices may go down nearer the normal, and if prices should remain secure at the present figures the chances are he will not have the present abundance to sell.
 Farmers of Tennessee, Kentucky and Southern Illinois are getting higher price than ever known since Civil War days for their tobacco, and some think that the precent-day prices beat the record of '61-'65. Farmers are now getting from 20 to 10 cents a pound and making more than 1000 pounds to the acre. This means from $200 to $400 per acre-more than the land ever brought in any section Of the country.
 High Prices for Products.
 On account of the shortage of wool and the demand for it's use ill knitting for our soldiers, t!le cotton crop Of Mississippi, Geor6iss, Alabama, Ten nessee, Texas and other states will bring record price on the market. Foodstuffs are mere ia demand than ever before. Not even the demand Of Civil War days caE equal the demand of America and Europe for our hogs, cattle, sheep, cosn, wheat, potatoes and other food products.
 The reason for this prosperity, it is pointed out, is because millions oe men are chewing and smoking tobacco and not making it, millions are wear ing clothes and uniforms and are not raising. cotton; sheep are being eaten for mutton and are not making wool and the countries of Europe that once produced in abundance now resound 10 the noise of battle and the tramp, tramp, tramp of countless millions of our men of war.
 That is the reason of the present high prices, and it is wisely predicted they will not last forever. Will farni- CTS be profligate with their increased wealth at time when conservation is the .ws,tchword of our country, or will they act the part of the wise man who lays by him in store for the future?
 Put surplus in Bonds.
 Another Liberty Loan campaign is being launched, that the government may have money that is needed to con- tinue to prosecute the war. Farmers cannot do better, the solid investment advice is given, than to buy bonds and to continue to buy them until their surplus wealth is all invested.
 Aft.r the war these bonds will in- crease in value as the years go by. Government bonds have always gone to premium in a short time. Best of all. it will help to whip the unright- eOusness out of the Hun and restore freedom, peace and happiness to the world.
 Just as thieves cannot break into heaven and steal the treasures that are there, nothing can touch or lower the worth of Liberty Bonds. Droutas and wet seasons, insecure speculation, uncertain investments and other means of losses cannot reach govern ment bonds.

It is not known that Germany is ap- preaching the end of her resources in materials and in men, Just when the collapse and the complete surrender will come is past knowing It is con- ceded that with the will it would be possible for her to fight on into next year. Can the autocracy hold the peo- pie together to endure further hardr ships with the door of ultimate victory closed, and by the word of the presi- dent speaking for all the allies, the door of an easy peace closed? The answer to that question may come at any hour or any day. The watchword of the government is to press on with vigor unrelaXed. The government can only continue to strike hard unless the people back of the government do not lag on any part of the ground They know that when the foe is weakening is no time to let up on the punishment. He must either submit to save him. self further punishment or fight on until he is beaten into complete help lessness.
