Letters are being sent to the County and Community Councils, in regard to the Victory Loan. The letter follows: "Ashdown, April IS, 1919.
 "To the members of County and Community Councils:
 "The Victory has been won at the cost of flesh and blood, over German militarism. Cur own boys helped to win this victory for us, our children and future generations, not only of this country, but of the world.
 "The cost must be paid, but our government does not ask us to give the cost but to lend the cost, which will be repaid in four years at four and three-quarters per cent interest. The Victory Liberty Loan begins April 21st, and will continue until our Coun- tvs quota is subscribed.
 We ask that you use your utmost efforts in your Community to see that everybody does his part. The pay ments can be made 10 per cent now, and the remainder upon terms extend- ing until Fall, let's get busy.

CLUBS MEET AT OAK HILL
Miss Gladys NorwoOd Gave Wenie
 Roast to Club Members.

Miss Gladys Norwood gave a wenie roast on Wednesday night to a num- Der of her clubs. The affair was held with the club at Oak Hill, ten miles northwest of Ashdown. The visiting clubs were Trickum, Elmore and the Hicks clubs. On arriving at Oak Hill large bon fire was built, and soon the people, both young and old, began to arrive from far and near until all had arrived, then the fun began. Each enc had to roast their own wenies, and when this was done big cover was laid and large feast was spread out by the fire which all enjoyed very much. After the supper, games were started and were enjoyed very much by the younger ones, Miss Norwood leading them into many games and causing all to have a good time.
 Many of the club members came a long distance, coming in autOmobil- es. horseback and in hay wagons.
 Oak Hill is one of the most pros porous and most progressive farming centers in Little River county, and there you will find hospitable and substantial citizens. In that neigh borhood one can see many large and roomy farm houses and large barns filled with good stock and feed stuff. Many of them are seen driving auto mobiles, and seem to be enjoying prosperity.
 The club work in this county is rapidly growing popular with all, and much credit should be given Miss Norwood for her good work done as demonstration We venture to say that it would be hard to find a child in the county that she does not know by it's first name, and always greet her everywhere she goes as hello Miss Gladys"

SPENDING AMERlCA'S
 BOUNDlNG BILLIONS
What the Government Is Doing With the Vast Sums Raised for World
 War; What France Is Doing.

Billions of dollars invested in Lib erty Bonds, millions paid for Thrift and War Stamps, thousands of Amerl- cans learning for the first time the meaning of direct taxation-this is one of the big stories of Americas participation in the World War.
 Inevitably, however, the question IS asked by the millions of investors and taxpayers, What is the Government doing with this hitherto undreamed of national income?" It is in response to this legitimate query, it is announc- ed by the Division of Films, Commit tee on Public Information, of which George Creel is chairman, that the Government issued it's latest compre7 hensiye war picture, Americas An swer." which will be made known at the Royal Theater Monday and Tues day, April 21 and 22.
 Americas Answer" pictorializes in a comprehensive way what has been accomplished in France under the d. rection of Gen. John J. Pershing dur ing the first year Of America's par ticipation in the struggle.
 The industrial part of these actlvl- ties is graphically shown. This, now ever, is only part of Americas An swer," which the Governments new picture is said to visualize. The DIG ture also answers the Kaiser's report e3 declaration that America wouldn t fight" by showing American soldiers ln actual battle, go "Over the Top defeating the crack Hun shock troops and winning for the American Marines the title of Devil Dogs"
 Americas Answer" is distributed by the World Film Corporation.

 The ol tae sza.9 are going to prepare f9r peanuts SC that they can run tasir plants all the year This will stapelize the peanut as 8 money crop and build up another big industry. Lands that will not grow good cotton will make a fair crop of pecauts and be better land in the enc. When tho price is too low you are protected as the peanut will make pork, and you will always have the hay as . hy-p-oduct. The pro position looks good for the South both from the standpoint of the oil mill men and the farmers. Two money crops, cotton and peanuts, and then a third money crop, Livestock, is the sure road to better conditions.

CONGRESSMAN WING.O.

Hon. Otis T. Wingo, congressman from this District, is an honored guest of Texarkana for few days. The hand of every citizen is extended in warmest greeting. No man ever held more universal honor and genuine es- feem from his constituency.
 MT. Wingo is decidedly the strong est man in the congressional delega- tion from this state. This is not said in disarrangement of any other able representative from Arkansas, every one of whom is a credit to the state. It is not said in fulsome flattery of an individual. It is but the truthful statement of a fact borne out by the record of events.
 He has made good at every point, and in every crucial moment, from the day he first entered the halls of con- gress at Washington.
 Endowed by nature with a super for type of mental ability, boise and discretion, grounded upon develop ed character of answering integrity. he has made no foolish mistakes, but has achieved great things, and grown to national prominence in our natiof's affairs, carving out for himself a sec cure position of leadership among the safest and sb3est statesman of our country Fis Nr6par place is in the Senate, and there comes a day that will see him there.-Texarkapjan.

CONPENSATIONLAW HOLDS POLITICIANS
CReview Phoenix Bureau)

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 16.-lnterest in political circles is centering upon an attempt which is to be made to in- troduce a new workingmen's com pensation measure in the legislature Unless the present plans for this pro- posed law are changed, the introduc- tion of the bill will serve to sharply define the conservative and radical elements in the legislative body.
 While a compensation law was re commended in his message by. Cover nor Campbell, it is said by those in a position to know, that the proposed legislation is not designed to meet the emergency pointed out by the execu- tive. Rather, it is claimed that the rumored bill is intended and fostered by the radical division as morsel of revenge for the bill of a similar nature introduced in the last session of the legislature.
 Where the former measure provided a maximum of s4OOO should be paid the dependents of an employe whose death was caused by accident, or neg ligence on the part of an employer. the new bill will, according to rumor, provide a maximum of SS000 and con taing drastice operative clauses.
 While the tone of the legislature is decidedly conservative, the reaction aries are proceeding confidently with their plans and predict that the vote on the bill will prove in the nature of a revelation to the members of the side. An effort is now being made to secure a sponsor for the pro- posed law.
