Hello, old Iron County friends! How
are you all? l am back at home in
the old Lead Belt. feel like | have
arrived at home, sure enough. Inject
some of my old friends nearly every
day. 1t makes me feel welcome, too.
The strike is all over and there is
plenty of work. You sure get what
you ask for; so, if you want work,
come to the Belt.
l went to the hospital at Bonne
Terre yesterday to see my brother
Charley. He had had bad luck-got
his foot cut-but is getting along
nicely.
Elmer, how are you and John Mar
Gus? Did you get through sowing
wheat? Crops look fine up here
some corn in the fields yet.
I went to shooting match the 9TH
er day and had fine luck. We were
shooting for beef and I won second
choice; then the hide and tallow.
Come and see me while I have the
meat.
hope some of my old friends will
write to the REGISTER SO / will get all
the good news from Old Iron County

From Arkansas.

Ed. Register will give you short
sketch iof my explorations the past
week. We covered about 18 miles of
the Cotton Belt from Vangouzy to
Buena Vista, Arkansas. Had rather a
bad week; quite a bit of rain. We
are stationed on the same spot we
were laFt Sunday. But we have a
very warm, cloudy day to-day, while
last Sunday it was very clear. have
been exploring the town; went
through sweet potato curing plant
in which they have forty car loads of
sweet potatoes in the process of cur
ing, and claim they have it only about
half fun. They told me that they had
fourteen cars on the yard to unload.
The trademark of the house is "'pos-
sum and sweet potatoes" | also Wis
tied an oil mill and cotton compress
this morning. This afternoon I went
on board the "Jos. e. Randall" a U.
S. snag boat, which landed here yes
terday. This is the head of naviga-
ton on the Ouachita river.
haven't seen much this week ex
cept pine trees, pine ties and negroes.
Saw fine patch of ribbon cane and
plenty of sweet potato patches. I am
getting along finely with the colored
boys. They call me "Good Chucker."
Will try to do better next week.

kept. I have no doubt that the vote
in Congress would have been differ
ent had that body known what would
occur later.
We call ourselves Americans and
boast that "the will of the people is
the supreme law of the land" Such
rot! Who is there that does not
know what the will of the Missouri
voters was and is on prohibition?
And yet we wonder. what creates l. w.
WIS in America and causes Bolshev-
ism to come into our midst.
If this thing continues we will soon
be back to where independence and
following the dictates Of conscience
will be memory only.
If this thing we call prohibition is
extended little farther l will not be
surprised, at any date, to see the un-
ion of church and state and we will be
compelled to support such state Of
affairs and live the life of hypocrite!
A great many people have been led
by dry leaders to lose sight Of the
main issue-that Of taking away the
rights Of the people by pointing out
the evils of the liquor traffic. The
people are allowing their rights to
slip from them while the silver
tongued orator attracts attention to
other matters.
A few days ago a we'll known whole
sale drug house in st. Louis wrote a
physician who had ordered a small
quantity Of spirituous liquors for le-
gitimate medical purposes that "we
regret to say that we cannot furnish
any whiskey at present. If wartime
prohibition ia declared off the govern
ment may allow US to sell what liquor
we have on hand. At tpresent we can
not sell a drop of any liquor"
This means, gentle reader, that if You
were dying and little alcoh olic stim-
ulation were needed to save your life,
that would now be impossible to get
if this physician were treating you.
How do you like this? Better wake
up! A BAcKswooDsMEN.

Tomatoes Need Fertilizer.

A number of fertilizer tests carried
out comparatively between tomato
growers, and the horticultural de-
partment of the University of Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture have Civ
en- indications that the tomato crop
repays we'll for the use of commercial
fertilizer. Thousands of acres of
tomatoes are grown for the canning
factories in Missouri, but yields have
been too small, generally speaking.
The yield of canning tomatoes can be
greatly increased 80 that the crop
will be far more profitable, to the
grower, by the use of moderate
quantities of commercial fertilizers.
j. w. Pierce of Howell County re-
ports an average yield of only 0,S
pounds of fruit per plant on an un-
fertilized plot, while an adjoining
plot receiving 250 pounds of a COM
plete fertilizer produced 80 pounds
per plant, an increase OF 4O0 per
cent. Nitrate of soda alone, and
potash alone, showed little benefit to
tomatoes, while acid phosphate
alone, showed very marked in
crease. Other tests LOCATED in the
Ozark section show the same general
results. One of the good results from
fertilizing tomatoes is the earlier
maturing of the fruit, difference OF
to 4 weeks being observed in many
cases. Another interesting point,
observed on the farm of II. H. Nc
Elhaney, Springfield, is that tomato
plants respond better to fertilizer if il
is applied and worked into the row 9
week or ten days before the plants
are set.

Eighth District Wins Distinction.

L. A. Wilson, Federal Director of
the Savings Division, Treasury De-
partment, for the Eighth Federal
Reserve District, in an official state
ment just issued from this office in
st. Louis, announces the plans for
the War Savings organization for the
coming year.
The record made by the three states
Missouri, Arkansas and Kentucky
during the year now drawing to a
close, has been so encouraging and
the results so gratifying that the
Treasury Department officials at
Washington have sent oongratulatory
messages to Mr.. Wilson, assuring
him of their endorsement of his
policies and authorizing him to pro-
ceed with his program as outlined for
1920.
The sales of Treasury Savings Ger
tificates in the Eighth District have
increased amazingly, and the sales of
the smaller securities-Thrift Stamps
and War Savings Starhps-have kept
pace.

AS to Prohibition.

Dear Uncle Eli have been watch
ing with much interest the publica-
tions in reference to prohibition in
periodicals of our country. If one
were to judge from the tone of some
of these papers he would be led to the
conclusion that majority of the vot-
ers of our country are al un-Ameri-
can, ignorant and undesirable citi-
zenship,
In several states in the Union men,
short time ago, were feverishly at
work trying, TO prevent vote under
the referendum. What does it mean?
Are American citizens too ignorant to
be trusted with the ballot, or are there
men afraid to allow the people to ex-
press their will?
The tone of the press, however, is
sometimes misleading. Some would
have you believe that the people of
Missouri desired prohibition, yet the
voters Of the state have never failed
to record decisive majority against
the proposition when given the OPP
portunity TO express themselves.

constituents, and those who did not

be denied the privilege of again mis-
representing the people should they
