The Salvation Army Home
Service Fund Campaign,

The National Home Service
Fund Campaign which was con-
Quoted through out the country
last summer, but which was
postponed in Marion on account
of the fire will be put on during
the second week in October.
Prof. Hugh M. Oldfeld, Dis
trict Director of the Salvation
Army was in the city the latter
part of the week confering with
the local committee who has
charge of the campaign here and
they and other prominent citi-
zens said that the small sum of
500 which the Salvation Army
is asking of this county would
be easily subscribed since this
great organization rendered such
valuable service to the soldier
boys. Realizing this fact, the
citizens will consider it a privi-
lege to contribute to this won
derful organization that their
good work may 70 on.
All the money obtained in this
campaign will be used in this
state and will be distributed for
the following good causes: Slum
settlements, rescue homes, in
dustrial homes, wVkingmen's
hotels. where a poor man may
find a clean bed at a merely
nominal price, children's homes,
young women's boarding homes,
Christmas dinners furnished by
ticket to needy families, fresh
air camps, free employment bu-
reaus, missing friends bureau,
prison work, training colleges
where young men and women
are trained for ohicership in the
Salvation Army. Besides the
above is the vast volume of tenn
porary relief, which includes the
distribution of free ice. wood
and coal, of clothing, shoes,
medicines, etc, the free day out
ings for poor mothers and chill
dren, and the actual cash dis
bursed to save families from
eviction or persecution.

Why Teach Agriculture
In The High School.

D.. Crittenden county is and
always will be primarily
an agricultural county.
}. Uncle Sam" believes it
should be taught in every
county in the United
States and agrees to pay
one half the teachers
salary.
. American farmers waste
enough food each year to
feed two million people.
J. Farmers each year lose
fifty millions of dollars
worth of plant food from
manure piles t h rOug h
leaching.
J. Farmers in Crittenden
county allow gullies to
be washed out on their
farm deep enough to bury
a horse.
!. 1t would require every
railroad in the United
States, working every day,
hauling fifty tons to each
car and fifty cars to each
train, to carry the soil
that is washed annually
into the Atlantic, Pacific
and the Gulf.
y. Why do farmers leaye
their plows, rakes, discs
and binders, costing hund-
reds of dollars, exposed to
the rain, frosts and SHOWS
to rust and depreciate in
value?

day Afternoon Melted
Thieves About $1O0.

The dental offices of DR.. ]. C.
O'Daniel, DR.. T. c. Edgar. and Dr.. f.
II. Johnson, all in the Citizens bank
building, were robbed yesterday of
gold to an amount approXimatinn
500. DR.. O'Daniel stated that he lost
about $25 worth of gold scraps. while
DR.. Johnson reports the loss of an
amount considerably more than, that
Dr.. Edgar lost about the same amount
as DR.. O'Daniel. Miss Louise Grow
Mrs. JohnsOn's sister, also lost d con-
siderable amount of gold in the theft
from DR. Iohnson's office.
DR.. O'Daniel stated last night that
he thought the robbery was COM
mitted either early in the morning
or at about noon time. He stated that
he discovered his loss shortly after
noon, when he went in his lavatory
to get cigar from a box of cigars
he kept there. The box was gone.
and concluding that he had been
robbed, he investigated for further
losses. 1t was then that he discov-
cred the loss Of the gold.
Both DR.. O'Danel and Dr.. John
son are on the third floor of the
building, while DR. Edgar's office is
located on the fourth floor.
None of the other dentists in the

gold though one stated last night that
he had not made a check of his sup

SCHE|DEMANN
FOLLOWS LEAD
OF PRESIDENT
Opposes Peace Terms in
Assembly.
ALLIES WOULD MAKE
JAIL OF GERMANY
All Factions Except the Indcpend.
cnt Socialists Cheer State
ment Wildly.
by The Associated Press)

Philin Scheidemann, the German
chancellor, has followed the lead tax
en- by President Ebert. In state
ment to the national assembly in
Berlin, couched in language more
forcible than that of Ebert, Scheide-
mann declared that the peace terms
are not acceptable to Germany.
Cheering from all the factions in
the chamber, excepting from the
benches of the independent socialists.
and even from the press gallery greet
ed the chancellor as he characterized
the treaty as a dreadful and murder
Gus" document which would make an
enormous Jail of Germany in which
between 60,000,000 persons would
have to labor for the victors in the
the war. The speaker several times
charged deception on the part of
president and the abrogation of his
promised ID points for peace.
1t is reported that Scheidemann
has been informed by the leaders of
the two democratic parties and of
the parties of the center that these
factions will withdraw their repres-
entatives from the government if the
peace treaty is signed.
Meantime, however, the German
plenipotentiaries at Versailles are
continuing their work of assimilating
the terms of the treaty and formulat-
ing such protests as they desire to
make while others of the delegation
are in Berlin discussing the prospects
with the government. Still another
German note--the fifth--is to be de-
livered at the French foreign office
Wednesday.
AS for the allied and associated
representatives they are leaving the
Germans severely alone for the pres
ent. Except for dealing with their
communications they are now engage
ed in settling up the peace terms
which are to be handed Austria; en-
deavoring to disentangle the snarl
in the skein of discord with Italy as
regards Fiume and the Adriatic re-
gion and discussing the Turkish prob
lem.
Optimism has been expressed in
Paris that the Italian situation is
nearing settlement, the italians evin-
cling disposition to make concess-
ions. Premier Orlando again called
Tuesday at the residence of Colonel
House and went over the situation,
while in the afternoon President Will
son had an engagement with Thomas
Nelson Page, the American ambassa-
dor to Italy, with whom he doubtless
went over the disputed ground. AS
for the Austrian treaty it is said to
be nearly complete.
Similar to Hun Treaty.

spects it will follow the German do

versy over the proposed election of
senators Penrose. of Pennsylvania
and Warren. of Wyoming. to chair
manship of the finance and appropria-
.'ohs committees respectively, would
De postponed until after the senate or
ganlzatlon is effected pext week.
Many conferences were held be-
tween members of both factions to-
day. and resulted in an agreement to
postpone factional troubles. A large
attendance at tomorrows conference
IS expected, only three of the 40 re-
publican senators-Lenroot, of Wis
consin; Townsend, of Michigan; and
Fall, of New Mexico, being unable to
reach Washington.
The initial conference tomorrow
according to plans, will be closed. al
though subsequent conferences to dis
cuss the progressive protest against

many republicans. Seven of the pro-
gressives held a meeting with Sena-
tor Borah, of Idaho, to discuss or
ganization plans. Senator Borah an
nounced that Senator Johnson, of CAL
lfornia, who had been urged to be-
come the candidate of the progress
