COOPERATION IS
 THE BEST PLAN
Satisfactory Results Being Obtained From New System introduced
 By County Agents.
By W. c. Lassetter, Director Agricul-
 tural Extension Division.


 tural Extension Division.
 The development of satisfactory markets for agricultural products de- pends equally upon cooperative pro duction and cooperative marketing. For many years the farmers of cer. tain sections of North Arkansas have produced hogs in such numbers as 70 develop very satisfactory markets. On the contrary, Central and South ern Arkansas have produced cotton in such quantities as to develop ready markets for their products.
 Central and Southern Arkansas have not produced hogs in sufficient quantities to develop satisfactory markets, Lack of satisfactory mar kets for hogs has hindered produc- ton. Discouragement in marketing will limit production of any crop. How could the chasm between pro duction for home use and production in marketable quantities be bridged? {? The cooperative shipment of hogs seem to have solved that question.
 Through the cooperative plan ss introduced by the county agents of Arkansas assisted by the field agent fin marketing. carload shipments have been made up by assignment from numbers of farmers Arrangements were made whereby each man sold his hogs on their own market value. Thus each man received the money for his hogs and no other. From ten to twenty-five farmers have cooper ated in the shipm ent of car lots or hogs, each farmer contributing from one to five or ten hogs towards the car lots.
 When the man with one or moro hogs finds that these few can DC marketed at market value, this man is encouraged to produce more hogs. When the community selling on the cooperative plan receives market price for its hogs the community Is encouraged to increase its production. This results in cooperative devel- opment of production. which, as the plan grows, results in greater and greater cooperation in marketing.
 The ultimate aim of the co-operar tive method of shipment of hogs Is to develop cooperative effort in pro- auction which ultimately will estab- fish satisfactory local markets. O. operative carload shipments is the bridge between production for home consumption and production on marketable scale.

.wE LOVE YOU MORE" SAYS
 FRENCHMAN OF YANKEES
Only Complaint Is That Our President Thinks the Germans Belong to the
 Human Race, Says One.

Washington, May 2.-Reports printed in American newspapers to the effect that the wartime admira- tion held by the French people for American soldiers has waned since the armistice, has caused Capt. A. Malick. aide to Marshal Joffre, to protest to friends here So far as the soldiers of France are concerned, Captain Malick writes in q letter to Lieut.. Col. A. L. Pendleton, of the general staff, "the only difference is that we love you better than in 1917 because we know you more"
 "The original cause of misunder- standing" he adds, "is that Mir. Will son has too good a heart and thinks that the Germans belong to the hu man race, whereas they are only a sort of mixture of tiger and snake"

CABLES REVERTED
 ID OWNERS FRIDAY
Order Issued by Postmaster General on Authority of President Other Wire Lines Later
 A Bitter Controversy.

Washington, April 30.-Control and operation of all American cable sys- tens taken over by the government last November, will revert to their private owners at midnight Friday. Postmaster General Burleson has is- sued an order providing for the re- turn of the properties in accordance with is statement of Monday an- nouncing he had made such a recom- mendation to the President.
 Yesterdays order was issued by di- rection of President Wilson.
 The postmaster general issued a statement repeating his announce ment that the telephone and telegraph lines, taken over last July, would be be obtained from Congress safeguard returned as soon as legislation could ing the interests of the owners. MT. Burleson emphasized that his views as to the wisdom of government own ership of the land communication lines have not changed, but he said it is apparent that these views are not shared by the new Congress. Hence, he said, the only step was to return these systems.
 Has Caused Bitter Controversy.
 Government control of the cable lines has been exercised in the midst of controversies. Legal action to re- strain the postmaster general from seizing their lines has been filed in a New York federal court by the Con- mercial Cable and Commercial Pacific Cable Companies, who contended that while the presidential proclamation taking over the lines was signed Nov. 2, the seizure was made Nov. 16, five days after the signing of the armis- tice, when, the companies contended, no need for such action existed. The New York courts refused to issue the restraining order and appeal was taken to the United States Supreme court.
 Arguments have been heard by the Supreme court to restrain the post master general from increasing in- trastate telephone and telegraph rates. Permission was given by the court to hear arguments on appeals from Kansas and Illinois next Mon day, when arguments will be heard also on cases from South Dakota and Massachusetts.

TIT is 4 BIC JOE AND THE CIVIL. JAWS CUTY IS TO HELP

WE MUST FINANCE PEACE.
Giving Nothing and Drawing Fine In. terest on Best Investment
 in World.

After the war. peace. The old west front is gone Hindenburg and his armies are away back across the Rhine Germany is beaten The Jig gest part of the task is done.
 It took money. unheard of sums of money to make war. It will take money. great sums of money. to make peace.
 A world cannot fight desperately for four years. with its battle-ground in inc very heart of the old and most densely populated parts of Europe and expect to clean up the wreckage in a few months. We all know that 1t took the peace conference weeks to even survey the situation, to look 1t over and get something of an idea of what 1t would require to start the world going again.
 The after.the-war expenses of all na. uons are great. The United States can be no exception to this. For me beaten nations badly weakened, dis organized, ripped to shreds by internal disorders. these expenses will be crushing. Add to the necessity and the expense of a reorganization. the indemnities required. in one form or another, and generations will stiil be paying the bill.
 Even the yictors, under no indem- nity necessities. are feeling the strain. We will need to help with our money and goods as We have helped with our money, goods, and men for the past year. These expenses must be mel in part from bond issue, the Victory Bond issue. IL cannot be met by tha ordinary or even extraordinary meana of taxation.
 IS nere that the Liberty Bond buyer can help. This expense must De borne in great part from the funds of the people. It was necessary Tn call upon the people to finance the war and 1t is just as necessary to finance the peace.
 The buyer of the Victory Liberty Notes (short-term bonds) will be haln. ang to finance peace just as the bonds that he bought months ago helped to nnance the war. At the same time ha is making an investment that ia sao. ond to none in financial history Fl. ss giving nothing. It is not often that c man has such chance. He can help in troublous time when every dol gar IS Q help; he can demonstrate his Ameileanism just as sincerely as he aso during the war, and al the same tune he Is making one of the best in. vestments

MUST ROOT OUE 1. W. W. "COOTIES'
Ole Hanson, Mayor of Seattle, De- plores Silk Glove Manner of Hand ling the BoIsheviks--Urges the
 Mayors 60 Act.
From the Kangas clly star.

From the Kansas City Star.
 Kansas City, May 2.--"I want to clean lem, these cooties, from the lodging houses. It would do my heart good if they'd come to Seattle" So Ole Hanson, mayor of Seattle, paid his respects to the I. w. W.s and Bol- sheviks in general while here last night.
 You know this country is so quiet and so nice and so beautiful that none of us realize we are walking around on furnace. It's question in the world right now whether any govern ment is going to survive. What I want to do is to put guts into the smaller fellows-the sheriffs and the mayors and all the rest-those fel- lows could run the Bolsheviks out by themselves. We got away with them in Seattle.
 Why, do you know in Tacoma even the Central Labor Council voted to oppose the Victory Liberty Loan; urged their members not to subscribe. and circulated propaganda against it. They'd have done it in Seattle, only they were afraid we'd hang 'em."
 Appeals to Mayors to Act.
 Whereupon Mayor Hanson com mandeered a typewriter and wrote a proclamation "To the Mayors of All Cities in the United States" This is the message:
 The events of the past few days, the sending of bombs to law-en- forcing officials, the rioting and dis order in many cities in this country, has probably convinced the doubt CTS that the menace of Bolshevism and I. w. W.ism is imminent and that all teachers of force and vio- fence should be supprest and pun ished.
 In my sober judgment the Reds" have a vast organization in every country in the world, and expect to overthrow all governments, includ- ing ours.
 The Red Flag of anarchy cannot continue to wave on the same planet with our emblem of liberty and freedom. Make no mistake about that. One or the other must fall. Surely the Red Flag has no place in our country.
 Then let us suppress it in every part of our landl note that press dispatches state that an l. w. W. national convention is soon to be held. It seems unbelievable that our government will allow this out law organization to assemble en masse and plot it's destruction at such a time as this. However, as mayors, we have our sworn duty to perform and we must be true to our American citizenship, therefore,
 I request all mayors in this great land of ours to close all I. W. W. halls, throw the teachers of force and violence in jail, demand of the national authorities the deporta- tion and punishment of all anarch- ists and the suppression of the Red Flag wherever and whenever it is found.
 If this brand of Americanism does not suit some people, let them go back to the country from which they came.
 We don't want them in the United States.
 With the I. W. w.s cleaned out, or on the way to that end, Mayor Han son is now going to turn his attention to the proposal to furnish reclaimed land to returned soldiers and sailors. Eighteen years ago Mir. Hanson lived for . short time in Kansas City, in the neighborhood of Budd Park. His third child. Dorothy, was born here. There have been nine others.
