Monticello, Ark, Apr. 30th. 1918. To Whom It May Concern: In view of the fact that Mir. J. K.

Kim bro. is not qualified for the position, we deem it but matter of right and jus tice to state that we have known both parties for number of years. We know their qualifications and experience and do not hesitate to say that Mir. kimbro is as well, if not better, quail fled in every respect and has had prac- tically as much experience in criminal cases as his opponent.

E. w. Kimber Announces
 For Office of Senator
Finally Yields to Solicitations of His
 Friends to Enter Race.

Hon. E. w. Kimber of Hamburg was in Dermott Tuesday in the interest of his candidacy for the office of Sena tor from the 18th Senatorial District, which is composed of Ashley and Chi cot Counties. Mr kimber is thorough ly qualified for the office he seeks, be- ing capable, progressive and public spirited to marked degree. He has for several years been engaged in de- velopment work and is an enthusiastic advocate of development measures for southeast Arkansas.
 Of interest to the ladies also is the fact that he has gone on record as fa- voring equal suffrage.
 The following paragraphs are copied from last week issue of his home pa per. the Hamburg Budget:
 The Budget has the pleasure this week of announcing the name of Mr F. ". kimber as candidate for the office of State Senator from the 18th Senatorial District. composed of Ash ley and Chicot counties.
 Mr kimher's qualifications for this office are too well known to the inteili- gent voters of the district to need com ment The nature of his business has necessarily brought him in close touch with many of the people, and he is per haps better informed as to the needs and wants of the people than any other man in the county.
 It is a well known fact that the of flee to which Mir. kimber aspires is not remunerative position, the small sal ary for the 60-day session being barely enough to meet expenses of the trip. It is partly because of this fact that Mir. kimber at first refused to consider the race, but after persistent solieita ton from his friends. lie has decided to make the sacrifice, and if elected, will devote his best energy and ability to the interest of the people.
 Mir kimber's business. in addition to the Red Cross and Liberty Loan work, demands practically all of his time. and he probably will not be able to make thorough campaign of the county. but will see as many of the voters person ally as possible It is not likely that he will accompany the candidates on the grand round. as he believes 1t an imposition upon the farmers valuable time, especially during this time of national peril, when every ounce of the nation strength shonld be applied to producing something that the world may not starve. and that our armies may continue the fight for world dem ocracy.
 Mr kimber has donated practically all of his time since Oct lst, 1917, to Red Cross and Liberty Loan Work. He has not received, nor does he ask. cent for hs services. He is thorough ly patriotic, progressive, honest and capable. Should the people decide to honor him with this office. We feel sure that he will discharge the duties devolv ing upon him with credit to the district and honor to himself It is q clear case of the office seeking the man.

Middlewest Is Asked
to Meet Shortage Of
Hogs Drouth Caused

Plenty Of hogs are now on hand
to supply needs for the present
year, according to Z. I. Russell,
head of the pork production depart
ment of the federal bureau of ami
man industry, who is i'll Omaha on
business. However, there will not
be a surplus, and it will be necessary
to grow fully as many hogs in l9l9
as were grown in 1918.
Owing to drouth conditions
said Mr.. Russell, there will be a
shortage of more than 100000 hogs
in Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma,
Arkansas and Texas. Other states
must make up this shortage if we
would have the necessary pork and
bacon for the boys in the trenches"
Nebraska farmers responded 10y
ally to the call for more pork last
wear and, some sections of the state
having been rather dry this year, it
is not expected that the feed condi-
tons will permit larger number OF
hogs to be raised i'll Nebraska next
year. Those sections having plenty
Of feed will have to speed up con-
siderably to keep up the state aver

Austria-Hungary
Has but Two Modern
Batdeships Left

London, Oct. 5.-Austro-H Hungary
has at the most only two battleships
left, she has lost a large number of
small craft and now Durazzo, the
advanced base of her depleted fleet,
has been rendered useless, writes
the British naval expert, Archibald
Hurd in the Daily Telegraph. Con-
tinuing, he says:
"Durazzo, practically dominating
all one side of the Adriatic, was to
the Austrians what Zeebrugge was
once to the Germans. No effort
had been spared to make it a i'm
pregnable port which would be val
liable to the Austrians as a base of
military forces Of the quadruple al
lance in Albania and in addition be
a pistol aimed at the allies.
I'm this scheme OF attack. pro-
visions had been made by the en-
tente naval forces for the co-opera-
ton of American submarine chasers,
of which quite a number have been
working in the Mediterranean. 1t
was an irony of fate that, whereas
Germans boosted of the damage
their submarines would do to the
Americans, it was the submarine
chasers Of our friends which travel
ed about 1000 miles to deal with the
German partner at his very gate
way.
"The American seamen will be
cordially congratulated by their
comrades in the other allied naves
on the destruction of two Austrian
submarines.
