Fat More Cottage Cheese.

Hundreds of Arkansas farmers are either wasting their skim milk or are feeding it to animals. The specialialsts of the Extension Di- vision are conducting a campaign, and urging our people to eat more cottage cheese. They say one pound of cottage cheese supplies more protein than one pound of beef. pork, lamb, veal or fowl. Consequently, those who eat cot tage cheese need less meat. Why not utilize the skim milk and sell the meat? This will help greatly to supply our soldiers with food that can be transported.

Camp Pike Notes.

It may sound like a joke to the folks back home when they hear that the boys at Camp Pike are In the trenches" but there is nothing funny about it to the soldiers. The trenches are a very real part of the training here. There are miles of them and they represent some of the most strenuous work done in Arkansas this season. Piles of rock along the tops of some sec
The Huttig news., 1918-04-27

tions show that they are built re- gardless of the soil conditions. In the soft, sandy spots the walls had to be shored up with timbers, while in others the rocky shale makes an ideal trench wall. Every modern idea in trench warfare is illustrated at some portion of the work, and they represent first, second and third line of defense, and stretch away from the lower land up over the hills through the timber. The soldiers are taught how to carry stretchers and loads through the trenches and around the corners, how to get in and out of them and other details of trench life.
 Details of the various branches of the service are sent to the trenches to live in them under act ual fighting conditions save that there are no bursting shells over head. They carry rations with them sometimes sufficient for sev- eral days and sleep and eat in the trenches. It isn't so bad if the weather be favorable, but several times attachments have been caught in the rain and then the clay and mud makes the trench life very realistic.
 The innovation in the army work of the Y. M. c. A. are buildings for the officers. and four of these buildings are now open or under course of construction at Camp Pike. Officers are seldom to be found in main buildings, because their presence would frequently be a source of embarrassment to the men, who are glad to escape for an hour or two from the strict discip- lin of military life. The buildings for the officers are much smaller than those for the men, and will be equipped as reading and recreation rooms and a place for lectures ane entertainn,ents. While each officer has private room in the officers quarters, they are going to be decidedly uncom- foitable in hot weather and the private in the big, open well venti- lated barracks is going to have all the best of it so far as coolness goes. Being an officer is not all glory and fun. For, while a pri- vate has only to salute his superior officer, the commissioned man has to salute every private he meets and his brother and superior offic- CTS as well. And the officers claim they can't save as much money as do some of the non-commissioned Still there are always a lot of fel- lows trying to get commissions, while no one seems to care very much about being a private.

Trotzky and Lenine.

Russia has been betrayed into
the hands of the Germans by the
two scoundrels Trotzky and Le-
nine, who in the early days of
the revolution, got into control
of the government on the spe-
clous plea that they were the
true friends of the workingmen
of the country, and were anxious
to put into effect their socialistic
doctrines to bring quick relief to
much distressed people. Once
in control it was an easy matter,
under the influence of German
millions, to so handle the situa-
ton of bringing an early peace
as to disarm suspicion of the true
purpose of the treacherous lead
ers, who were so loud in their
professions, and so cunning in
their deceit. The alleged peace
to Russia means the forfeiture
Of much of her territory, and the
paying of millions in indemnity,
and the over-running of all her
territory with the armies of the
Central Powers, and now when
disaster is upon them Trotzky
and Lenine are ready to sur
render their posts, and with their
reasonable rewards in their pos
session will seek asylum in the
German empire where they can
enjoy life and laugh in their
sleeves at the cupidity of the
workingmen who were so easily
deceived into a bekef that the
fatuous fires of liberty could be
lighted without sacrifice. There
are Trotzkys and Lenines in this
country, who are seeking to or.
ganize class against class, hoping
to get into some place of power
and influence so they can convert
their scheming venality into {
personal money reward, leaving
their dupes to work out their owr
salvation.

The editor of the Holbrook
News is quite peeved because
the acting health office, who
happened to be DR.. Sampson of
this city, ordered a quarantine
in that city because of the pres
ence of one mild case of small
pox, when there were ten times
as many cases in Wlnslow. He
wants the supervisors to call for
all the correspondence and tele-
grams that passed between the
state board of health and the To-
cal health officer to discover if
the state board ordered the

quarantine because Of misinform-
alton, or because of some failure
on the part of the local officer to
properly perform his duties. Mr..
Braxton evidently does not know
that Winslow was quarantined
before Holbrook, and the only
criticism offered was that the
work was not done sooner. We
are satisfied DR.. Sampson quar-
antined Holbrook on purpose to
prevent our old friend Braxton
from contracting the disease, IS
scratching is one of the worst
features, and the Holbrook News
man is never so happy as when
he is scratching some imaginary
evil.

The doctrines OF Kaiserism
must be the guiding principle OF
the city officials of Phoenix. The
two job printing offices that get
the city printing also do the me-
chanical work on John Dunbar's
Magazine. and Mayor Corpstein,
who is a candidate for re-elec-
ton, notified these two offices
that they would lose the city pap,
as we'll as be sued for damages
if they published the Dunbar
Weekly during this campaign
when he was candidate. 1t
made Uncle John hustle for a
few days to get a printing house
that was not afraid, but the
magazine came out all right,
only it was a little late. What
is the matter with Mayor Corp
STEMS reputation that he is
afraid to have the light of pub
licity turned on it? What is the
matter with Phoenix that they
have a mayor who is afraid to
have his administration laid bare
to them? If the Dunbar maga-
zine is lying about Mayor Corp
stein it would be a political asset
to him, as the American people
are always for fair play; but if
Dunbar is telling the truth-well,
that is different, and we don't
blame the mayor from trying to
have the paper suppressed.

Brought into the investigation
of wages paid by the packing
houses of Chicago was testimony
that 300 saloons managed to con-
duct a successful business in that
district from the money spent
over the bar by employees. While
such a condition is to be re-
gretted, if it is true, that is not
sufficient defense that the men
are being paid a decent wage.
Under present conditions it is an
absolute impossibility for a man
with family to properly support
them on a wage of $3.50 or 81. Is
a day, and it is disgrace to our
civilization to have big corpora
tions declaring fat dividends
when they know these dividends
are earned out of the very life
blood Of their employees.

If the democrats are looking for
a competent man to fill the posi-

Crozier of this city. He has been
the city assessor for several
years, and has made most COM

The Unwritten Law.

The "unwritten law" is being
over-worked in defense of muir
derers, and we regret to say the
juries in too many cases are in
fluenced by it in rendering their
verdicts, bringing a miscarriage
of justice. The unwritten law
had it's institution to safeguard
the home even to the limit of
killing the despoiler, and in such
cases should always be sufficient
defense to acquit any husband or
wife of the crime of murder. In
fact it would be better for socie-
ty if the gun was used more Of
ten in the defense of the sancti-
ty of the home, and rid the COM
munity of the vultures whose
lust hesitates at nothing. The
unwritten law is to protect the
wives and daughters, and it has
divine sanction.
But the unwritten law is not a
defense for a prostitute who kills
a man who has at some time
maintained an illegal liason with
her, and whose insane jealousy
prompts her to commit the crime
when she realizes she has lost
her power to hold him longer in
her sensuous power. A trial in
California has just closed where
this defense was made, but the
jury disagreed, and at the next
trial she will probably be acquit-
ted. We are not defending the
man in the case, as society lost
nothing in his death, and he got
what was justly his due, but the
bullet that ended his life was not
fired in defense of the home, but
was murderously directed by a
madly jealous woman to kill the
man who had broken off his illic-
it relations, and in the eyes of
the law she is murderer and
should be punished. There must
be limit to sentimentallsm in
trials for murder, and even
handed justice dispensed with
equal regard to the family of the
dead, to the criminal bearing the
mark of Cair, and the welfare of
society.

The preliminary bout on the
railroad bill has been fought out
in the United States Senate, and
the roll call demonstrates what
we have always believed to be a
fact that less than a dozen sena-
tors are free from corporate con-
troll, and we are glad to record
that one of the ten was Senator
Ashurst, of Arizona. Senator
Mark Smith, of Kentucky, who
is the other senator representing
Arizona, was lined up with the
corporation forces. When the
question comes up in the House
the people will discover that very
few congressman are free from
corporate control. 1t is one of
the peculiar conditions of politics
that senators and congressman
are always loud in their protesta-
tions of loyalty to the people,
and they get away with it be-
cause they seldom have to show
their hand plainly enough to be
discovered, but when the time
comes that they must stand to be
counted they take their place in
the line with their masters, sat-
isfied that a little camoufage
spread at the next election time
will blind the eyes of the people,
and in this belief they are right.
The senators and congressman
we'll know that no amount of
camouhage will blind the eyes of
the corporations if they fail them
at critical time, and they want
the financial support and the aid
of the political managers of the
corporations in their campaigns.
The people have nothing to give
but their votes, and in most cases
these are controlled by the cor
poration managers who go out on
the hustings to urge the people
to stand by their political party
without regard to the character
of the candidate, and party 10y
atty is the camoufage that con-
ceals the corporation tool who is
seeking the votes.
