BETTER FARMING HINTS
Take Care in Buying Cattle

The live stock committe of the college of agriculture and extension division which met at Fayetteville recently warns farmers and bankers against buying cattle from other states unless they are subject to a retest. for tuberculosis in 90 days. A few high priced animals recenly brought into the state have develoy- ed the disease. The buyer is the loser unless he has protected himself by having a. signed guarantee that the animals will not show the dis ease 90 days after being purchased. The state veterinarian will be glad to give the retest.
 The committee also recommends that every percaution should be taken to avoid the importation of cat tie from herds carrying the germ of contagious abortion and that young calves should not be purchased ex- cept by farmers who have a surplus of milk and have had experience in raising calves.

 Plant Fall Potatoes in New Ground
 Almost anywhere in Arkansas good crop of potatoes can be grown if planted as late as the first of August. Everyone should be sure to have a patch of fall potatoes for winter use, but if the early crop was diseased the late potatoes should not be planted in the same ground. Many will find it very profitable to use fertilizer, and certainly the ground should be in good condition before planting. Late potatoes may take the place of flour before next spring. Be sure. that you have at least what you need for home use,

 Flow Wheat Land Early
 The best farmers in Arkansas claim, and the results obtained at the experiment station show, that early blowing of wheat is best where ever it is possible Field tests which have been running in neighboring states for great many years show that fields prepared early yield from 4 1-2 to 13 bushels more wheat per acre Certainly this indicates that early preparation pays and this IS reasonable because we know that early blowing keeps the weeds down, puts the land in condition to absorb moisture, and helps to secure firm and moist seedbed, which is a good seed bed.

MANY MORE SHIPS SUNK THAN BUILT
Tonnage Destroyed in 1917 Was Double Production in All the WOrld-Expect a Different Story in 1918.

Washington, Feb. 13-Ship tonnage sunk by submarines in 1917 was near ly three times as great as the produc- tion in the United States and Great Britain during that year.
 This was disclosed today by the an- nouncement of Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the exchequer, in the British House of Commons, that Great Britain produced only 1,163,474 tons of shipping last year The output in the United States was 901 ,223 tons, making total combined tonnage of 2,064,697, while sinkings by subma- rines last year are reckoned at 6,000,- 900 tons. While complete figures on construction in Japan, Italy, France and other nations in 1917 are not yet available, officials here do not believe their aggregate equaled the total of the United States. If that is true, submarine sinkings more than dou- bled all tonnage produced.
 American and British officials ex- pect different story in -91S. The United States and Great Britain are speeding up ship building and naval officials in both countries have pre- dicted that the submarine will be curbed this summer. Secretary Dan iels believes that effectual results will be obtained in the early summer. Ad- miral Sir John R. Jellicoe, former chief of the British naval staff, re- gently predicted that by next August it could be said that the submarine menace is killed" However, he pre- dicted dark months before that time. The output of ship tonnage in the United States in 1918 has been vari- ously estimated at from 2,500,000 tons to 4,000,000 tons, with Shipping board officials confident that at least 3.500.- 900 tons will be completed. Great Britain is expected to materially in- crease its 1917 figures.
 Japan's operations now are hamp- cred by lack Of steel, but this will be overcome, and that country is ex- pected to increase it's output this year. Other countries are building few ships

WAR SITUATION BETTER

Rome, Feb. 12.-Enthuisastic ap- plause and cheers for America met the declaration of Premier Orlando at the opening of parliament today that the war situation was growing better, due to help from the United States replacing Russia.
 Premier Orlando reviewed the Yer sailles conference and pointed out that so far as Italy was concerned the continuation of the war was no longer a matter oc fhoice, but neces- sity. Also, he said, this fact is un- derstood by all patriotic Italians who are now willing to wage war to the bitter end. Regarding Italy's aims the premier declared that they were unimperialistic. "All she wants" Premier Orlando declared, land no less, and she can wish for no more than the security of her national boundaries by land and sea and also the fulfillment of her national unity"

AMERICANS CLEANING
 OUT GERMAN SN|PERS
Artillery Fire of U. s. Gunners Continues to ImprOve-Shrap nel Has Driven Enemy From Front Trenches.

With the American Army in France. Feb. 12.-Aside from increased aerial activity, the American sector has been normal for the last 24 hours. Haras sing artillery fire and patrolling oper- ations have been kept up, but there have been no clashes. The American gunners are said to be growing more accurate daily. They have been especially effective in re- gistering on the roads and light rail ways back of the enemy lines. So ac- curate has been the shrapnel fire against the first lines of the enemy that they are now nearly abandoned, the Germans keeping only few men in them. In sector such as this the Germans seldom man their first lines fully, but opposite the American posi- tions they are reported to be keeping considerably less than the usual num- Der in the trenches.
 The number of enemy snipers and sniping posts has been reduced still further by the American sharpshoot- CTS, machine gunners and artillery men.
 Airplanes were overhead every where today. The enemy late in the day sent over considerable number of machines in battle formation. They were met and driven back by French squadron.
 The wounding of three men in con- sequence of an arrident was reported today, constituting the only new cas- ualties.

LEAGUE FOR NATIONAL UNITY
 APPEALS TO THE VOTERS

Little Rock, Feb. 14.-Gov. Brough has received quantity of literature of the League for National Unity, in- cluding an Appeal to the Voters of the United States to elect War-Till- Victory Congress" next November. Among it's suggestions is one that the Republican and Democratic organiza- tions might work in harmony in cer- tain districts where the disloyal forces have a menacing vote. This, it is pointed out, is not without precedent, such coalition between the parties in certain localities having already been effected in previous campaigns.
 Ut is not time for old prejudices or academic discussion as to past diff ferences," quoting the League ad- dress. Those who aare not now for America are against America.
 'In this crisis the unity of the American people must not be impaired by the voices of dissension and sedi- tion.
 "Agitation for a premature peace is seditious when its object is to weak en the determination of America to see the war through to a conclusive vindication of the principles for which we have taken up arms.
 "The war we are waging is war against war, and it's sacrifices must not be nullified by any truce or armis- tice that means no more than a breath ing spell for the enemy.
 "Either we fight the enemy on for eign soil, shoulder to shoulder with comrades in arms, or we fight on our own soil, backs against our homes and alone"

engines if provision was made to care for motive power.
 A. E. Barker, speaking for the bro- therhood of maintenance of way em- ployes, said his men were on the verge of quitting because they saw living costs mounting steadily without ad- vance in wages.
 "For the last 12 months the rail roads have not been able to get men to keep up the standard of their road bed, one of the most vital parts of any system" he asserted. "Of course a track runs down gradually, but it will take many more men now to make repairs than would have been required. if thousands of the crews had not been attracted to other labor by better pay"

s82. 100000 A YEAR
 FOR WAGE INCREASES
EmpIoyes of Railroads Make De- mands for More Pay-Men Contend High Food Prices Make Increase Necessary.

Washington, Feb. 13.-The first of- so;ol indication of what proposed rail- .ood ware increases would cost was ,.;ron at today's hearing before the ra;lroad wage commission, when J. A.. Franklin presented the claims of the railway employees department of the American Federation of Labor.
 Figuring an average of 33 1-3 per cont increase, on the flat increases asked the additional cost would be sS2 900 ,000 annually" Secretary Lane, chairman of the commission, com- puted.
 Mr. Franklin said the estimate seemed correct based upon increases for 25O,0OO organized men. He also had suggested that any increases should apply to unorganized workers of the same trades, numbering about eOy0OO. who were not figured in the rough calculation. The wage basis asked was SC a day for skilled men such as carmen, machinists and black smiths. S4.50 a day for helpers, and time and half for overtime, Sunday and holiday work.
 None of the witnesses before the commission has submitted estimates of what the increases requested would cost, all apparently taking the posi- ton of A. B. Garretson, of the con- ductors, who said that it did not mat ter what the cost would be since the increases were essential to maintain the standard of living and that if an industry did not maintain the men serving it, the industry did not de- serve to survive.
 Low wages have been blamed by the witnesses for the exodus of rail- road workers to other industries, with the result that many skilled men have been lost. Mir. Franklin said the var ious shop unions he represented had lost l5 per cent of their membership to ship yards and still others to muni- tions factories.
 Warren s. Stone, of the engineers, told hte commission that never before this winter have the railroads entered the bad weather esason with equip ment Tn such rotten" condition and said that lack of skilled men in shops was responsible for curtailment of output there to 60 per cent of normal. lie said there would be no shortage of
