Harbdngers

Be patient if you freeze your
feet while trudging through the
slush and sleet; already winters
growing gray, and soon he'll
bow and say Good day." l see
some harbingers around; the
grass shows greenish on the
ground; bughouse bird is seen
anon cavorting on the frosted
lawn. And in the grocer's moral
store seed packages are seen
once more. When once the
grocer digs up seeds. to meet the
garden growers needs, we wot
that winters on the wing, and
that we're due to welcome
spring. This morning as | went
my way, | heard the village
marshal say, This year I'll bark
to no excuse-no chickens must
be running loose. The owners
OF all hungry hens must keep the
blamed things in their pens, ac-
cording to the statutes made,
and which by all must be obey
ed. He says the same thing
every year, when winters billed
to disappear, and then forgets il
IN the spring, when chickens
scratch like everything. But it's
harbinger. all right: it indicates
that springs in sight. The
marshal makes his yearly bluff
and then farewell to wintry stuff
TO foolish storms and silly gales
TO biting wind that shrieks- and
walls. The gentle spring will
soon return. for there are har-
bingers to burn.

Increase Telepl,oa
And Telegraph Rates

A new schedule of telephone ex-
change rates to become effective May
1, has been filed with the State Rail-
road Commission. The new schedule
includes an increase in rates which
was ordered by the United States
Telegraph Administration and which
it claim is necessary to meet heavy
deficit which is being accumulated
during the period of operation Of the
telephone properties by the United
States Government, and which it is
stated, can be met in no other manner
than through a revision of rates, ex-
cept by direct payment from the I'm
tied States treasury.
Attached to the schedules which
were filed with the State Railroad
Commission is a copy of the order of
the Postmaster General Of the, Oper-
ating Board of the United States Tel
ephone and Telegraph Administra-
tion, approving of these rates and di-
recting that they be put into effect
at the earliest practical moment.
An explanation of the situation by
President Brown is that more than SO
cents ofevery dollar now goes to
wages-material and equipment. being
highly increased.

For Killing Insects

WASHINGTON, April 29-May is
the month when the insects wake up
and get ready to attack your trees,
says bulletin from the American
Forestry Association. Here is some
tree advice from the association for
May:
Plant evergreens during the first
part of May. Spray for all varieties
Of insects, those that chew, suck and
bore. Spray for fungous disease.
commence cultivating and watering
trees and. shrubs. Complete the re-
movaa of trees hopelessly infested
with boring insects such as the Hick-
ory Bark beetle, the two-lined Chest

War Greatly Increased
Influence of Press


"No educatiye campaign has ever
surpassed that of the use of newspa-
per space in war propaganda in the
nineteen months during which the
United States was in the war;" said
the editor of the Minnesota Univer-
sity Farm Press News, in recent
talk to editors of that state.
"This use of newspaper space as a
means of accomplishing an end, then,
must and will serve as tremendous
object lesson as to means of getting
things done by the public. It means
simply this: If community or an
individual wishes to accomplish some
thing which depends largely upon IN
teresting and convincing large num-
bers of people, such community orein-
dividual must use the press. phis was
known to many before, but never to
SO many has the lesson been brought
home with such convincing force as it
has in the various campaigns that
have been the features of the war as
seen from the home side.
eff, then, the people call to the edi-
tors for leadership, because they have
guided them and told them what TO do
in the recent crisis, and if they recog-
nize the, power of newspaper space
rightly used, the press has advanced
to new position Of power as fac.

VICTORY LOAN
BEING RAISED
Some Sections, However; Are Slow
In Responding To The Last Call
Of Government.

Some sections of Leflcre County
are slowly responding to the Victory
Loan. Leflore's quota must be fully
subscribed during the next few days
if we are to keep up the splendid rec
ord, which the county has heretofore
achieved.
Why not invest your money in the
scfest manner in the world and sub
scribe your full quota?
For the fifth time the government
of the United States "ica h@s
asked its citizens to help fe,4t a J.. .,
erty Loan. Don't forget the fact that
it is just as much a Liberty Loan as
were the First and Second, the Third
and the Fourth.
Don't lose sight Of the fact that the
Victory Liberty Loan is just as much
of an appeal to your Americanism
as the others were! That it is just as
important that you do your part this
time as it was before.
For war does not end when the
guns cease and the bayonets are
sheathed. Not this last sort of a
war. 1t does not end when the fight
ing planes cease dodging bits of
shrapnel and the sharpshooter's bullet
no longer sings. This has been diff
ferent sort of a war.
1t was a giant of a war and the
echoes of it may ring Tor long time.
It was SO tremendous that it may
take years to get things back on the
old peace basis. We have interests
tnat must be protected and protec-
ton means something more than mere
watchfulness. Watckfulness and pro-
lection mean money expended.
For the fifth time the United States
is asking the loyal American, the man
who is worthy to bear the name of
American, to come to the support of
his government. Heretofore the call
has tecn for men and money. This
time the call is for money, only.
1t ought to be easy for us all to
meet this fifth call. Our men are not
being called for now. Only our money
S being asked this time. We met the
calls before when it meant blood as
we'll as gold. We will find this one
far easier to meet.
1t ought not to be necessary this
time to make such drives" as have
been made for other loans. We all
understand what Liberty Loan is
for, what it means and why it is
needed. We know that it is one of the
best investments that was ever of
fered to the entire population of the
| United States.
This call to support Victory Loan
cor,es to all of US alike. It is not
addressed to any one group of Am.
creams. 1t is to all. 1t is just as
important to one man as to another
that the nation should have the finan-
cial support that it needs.

LONDON, April 29-The executive
committee of the Navy League has
adopted resolution calling attention
to what it describes as "the necessity
of preserving in imperial and allied
interests, both in peace and war, alb
solute control over Irish ports, har-
bors and communications and for
maintaining inviolate the freedom of
the seas in the British sense of the
term"
A preamble to the resolution shows
that it was prompted by the fact that
the United States House of Repre-

suggesting that the Peace Conference
