PROVED SPIRIT
 OF DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basis of Food Saving Showed Heart of America
 Beat True for Freedom.

To the voluntary service and sacri- flee of the American people must he attributed the continued health, strength and morale of the Allied ar nies and the civil populace
 Upon this spirit of service and sac rifce will depend Europe's fate In the months to come. In the past year we have carried out an export program, the magnitude of which is almost be yond comprehension. But with the new demands that have come, with the liberation of nations freed from German oppression. our exports must be almost doubled Instead of II l.S20. coo tons We must ship twenty million tons of food to Europe in tl~ coming through our ports.
 If the Allies had not been fed by America, 1t would have been impos slhle for them to maintain their de fense against Germany.
 Meeting this world need on a purely voluntary basis the American people have conclusively proved that democ
 
 need 1t wiH rise to its own defense
 If there were no other accomplish ment to its credit the very fact that it has shown the strength of democracy has in itself more thnn Justified the existence of the Food Administration in the eyes of the world.
 Less than four months after the United States declared war the United States Food Administrator expressed his determination to meet AmeriCas food problem on basis of voluntary action and reiterated his confidence that awakened democracy would prove irresistible
 Many thinking Americnns," said Mr. Hoover. and the whole world have been watching anNtously the last four months in the fear that demo cratic America could not organize to meet autocratic Germany. Germany has been confident that it could not be done Contrary proof Is immediately at our door, and our people have al ready demonstrated their ability tG mobilize organize, endure and prepare voluntarily and efficiently in many di. reCtiens and upon the mere word of inspiration aside from the remarkable aSsemhia9e of our Army and finances u
 The history of the Food Administrn- ton haS clearly shown that the trust of those who put their faith in dtmoc. raCy .as not been misplaced

County School News

The Bcrmott schools were visited last week. and We found that the teachers and pupils are doing hlrh class work in spite of the tune lost on account of the flu The rural schools could not be visited on account of the weather.
 We had the pleasure of visiting the Redleaf and Sunnyside schools the latter part of last week Miss Frances Moore is doinF excellent work at RedIeaf She has modern little building and the pupils are corfart ably housed Al Sunnysidc We noted the work that Miss Leroy Seln an is doing. and are very much pleasea with the progress her pupils are making We hope that before another term opens this bir, fine plantation will have new modern house. and if apt Auburn and Mir Moore can solva tte financial question involved We F-eilet that the job will he done right
 Quite number of complaints have come in recently regarding the viola tion of the compulsory attendance law Under this law We understand that the boards are to appoint attendance officers who are to turn offenders over ta the courts We believe that if few per sons who are guilty of preventing their children from attending school are punished a most wholesome effect will result

Attention, Land Owners!
To the Land Owners and Tax Payers of the Southeast Ar kansas Leyee District:

Two years ago the citizens of this solidate the four local levee districts of 1 Chicot. Desha and Lincoln counties into the Southeast Arkansas Ievee District with power to issue Sl. POO. 900 worth of bonds and levy flat rate tax of l0c per acre, which 1t did
 A that time the Mississippi River Commission promised to give the dis trict $2 % for every $l. co expended on levee work on the Arkansas and Mis-, sissippi rivers. It was thought at that time that all levees could be made to amounts provided for in the measure, with the aid of the government, and probably this could have been accom- plished If times had remained normal, but since that time this country has been plunged into a world war, causing labor, material, etc. to advance loo to l50% Work which then cost sl 00 now costs B % or $2 50
 Our levees are about one half com pleted and We are virtually out of funds that Is to say, We have $500. e00 worth of bonds that have not been ls- sued, but this amount is being reserved to take care of bonds previously issued ] by the local boards, which this board i inherited We must have more money or throw up our hands and quit there i by losing all We have expended.
 The board contemplates asking the debtedness and higher rate of taxa ton, and this IS to notify you of what l Is contemplated. Are you willing to increase your taxes Tn order to protect your lands from overflow or will you i refuse this and lose all you have paid Remember the board was in no way responsible for the war or the increased cost of labor. material, etc
 It was the board intention to bring this to your minds by means of mass meeting. hut the flu kept us from dolng so. and We later, at the eleventh hour expected to reach you with a cir cular letter. advising you of the cir cumstaaees
 In thIs We have again been handi. capped. because of the rush and short age of labor with the newspapers. i However. the circulars are now Tn the hands of the printer and may reach you before any action Is taken by the leeis= lature
 Atour last meeting We had with as representative of the Mississippi Riv- er Commission. who told us the Com mission would call on us for $21a. oao each year for five years, if this was needed for levee work. the Commission in turn to put up $5oo ooo each year. and he statea that if our district could not meet this demand other districts would get thi- S1oo. 0ao from the Com mission.
 lt must be borne iu "ird that the Board has expended quite lot of money on emergency work. for which We have not been credited by the Com mission, or in other words the Com mission has not given Us the S2 for $l for thi- amount. However, We expect to take this matter up with the author lties in Washington with view Of hay ing them make the ? to l allotmt at to cover these funds expended by Us
 am making this statement because feel k my duty to inform the land owners of the circumstances, and of what ls being done

. The states will be required TO spend
an equal amount in cooperation with
Uncle Sam. That will bring the cost

German Shells Reveal
First Reims Cathedral

are greedily digging for every
scrap and shred to piece to-
gether another chapter of by
gone days as result of the re-
port of the archaeological mis-
sion planning the reconstruc-
ton of the Reims cathedral.
1t states that German shells
which ripped open the floor of
that twelfth century church
have disclosed another cathe-
dral built by the Franks which
has contained the tomb of King
Clovis for 1,419 years.
1t is expected that further ex-
cavation will reveal the whole
foundation of the older cathe-
dral built by early Frankish
architects.

ALL is VANITY.

Doesn't ii make you weary to heal
some big hunk of man brag OF his
sense of humor?
Or of his ear for music?
Or of his memory?
Of his stcktoitiveness, or his sense
of economy, or his patriotism?
Either these traits were born in
him. or else he was grounded and inn
bedded in these fundamentals by his
folks, probably his mother.
The scatterwit is born that way
and can't help it.
The cautious. conservative, careful,
exact child is that way from his crib;
every time, sir.
The mothers character, and the life
of the babe months before it was
born, largely determined what the big
boastful rascal would have to gloat
about forty years hence.
And the weary hours mothers
spend grounding and grinding things
into the thick, careless skulls of
boys.
Hours that seem spent all in vain,
but that leave their impress for all
time and eternity.
The wit you think so well OF. the
resourcefulness of your nature, the
character you have that's worth men

usually than the color of your eyes
or the shape OF your nose, or the
compound fracture of the tibia, that
the old mule handed you once when
you looked over your shoulder when
You were unhitching,
And the only way you can square
your private accounts is to devote

your best effort to the cultivation and
