All the milk producers of this section have been consolidated and the business will be done through the Grand Prairie Creamery union. The Terry creamery has closed here and all it's patrons have gone over to the above organization.
 This is no doubt the best move the milk men could have made as it places them in a much bet : ter position to do their market ing and places all their business at one point instead of being sep arated and hard to handle.

HERE IS YOUR CHANGE TO
 LEARN ABOUT TRACTORS
TraetOc School to Help All Who are h.
 terested in Power Farming

A tractor school is to be held l Monday and Tuesday January 13 and 14. Robertson Myers Hard ware Go, Carlisle, Ark, 1. H. c. dealer, are furnishing tractor and other equipment to be used at this school.
 This is a rare opportunity for tractor owners and all who are interested in farm power. You will get some valuable first hand information on tractors. A tractor is not complicated ma- chine but there are a great many more things to know about a tractor than some of the ordina- ry farm machines. If the owner 1 is to keep the tractor running properly he should understand it thoroughly. It is very impor- tant that all tractors are kept in good condition, especially is that true this year.
 If the operator understands his tractor, he will be able to pre- vent many troubles. He will al so be able to get more power from his fuel and to keep the tractor running the maximum number of hours. It is to the advantage of the tractor owner to attend the tractor school and learn about the underlying prin- ciples of tractor construction and all the little tricks in tractor op- eration and care,
 The tractor school to be held by the International Harvester Company will be thoroughly practical in every way. The in structors are men who have been handling tractors for a number of years and not only know tract ors from the standpoint of theory but have operated them and can give you the benefit of their prac. tical experience.
 Come prepared to ask oues- tions. You are invited to put your problems up to the instruct ors and we assure you they will be in position to be of help. It might be good plan for you to make a list of the things you want to know about your tractor and have them ready at the tractor school. Time may not permit answering all the ques- tionS but they will be answered by correspondence or the infor- nation will be given you in the form ot book. Every possible effort will be made to give the tractor owners the information that will help them.
 The Company has prepared a book covering the principles of construction, care and operation of tractors, and all who attend the school will receive copy of this book free of charge. It deals with the points of discussion that will be brought up at the ] school and will be of special ad- vantage to the men who attend 1 because they can study 1t after they have gone back home. Au- thorities say that this book is the | best one on tractors now in print.
 The tractor school will be ab solutely free to all who care to attend. There will be no fees or charges for any of the instruc. tion. All material will be fur nished free. There will be noth- ing offered for sale and there will be no selling talks. The school is conducted purely for the ben eft of those interested in power farming. If you cannot attend, be sure and have the man or boy attend who operates your tract or.
 I Every owner of tractor or engine is invited to attend this school. Make your plans now so that you can spare the tune to be at the school. It will be

Greece and Rome Again

History has repeated itself so fre-

fact has been so faithfully chronicled by
obscrvant writer's, that the novelty of the
repetition almost has worn Off However.
it does seem worthy of note that the
glory that was Greece and the grandeur,
that was Rome are again contending for
the supremacy. In this case the wheel of
history has been long time making it's
revolution, for it has been two thousand
years since the Greek phaIanx was
proved inferior to the Roman legion and
the Macedonian wars put an end to Hell

Roman conquest.
But now, as in the days of Mithri-
dates, Greece dreams of greater empire,
and finds that dream likely to be made
at least difficult of realization by the
rival ambitions that have their centre
in the city which humbled Greek pride
IN the three wars from 214 TO 1853 &. c..

cd from our foes for such horrors as
those committed in Belgium, Northern
France. Armenia and the sinking of the
Lusitana, nothing should be done in the
spirit of mere vengeance. Then let us
agree to extend the privileges of the
league as rapidly as their conduct war
rants it to other nations, doubtless dis
eliminating between those who would
have guiding part in the league and
the weak nations who would be entitled
to the privileges of membership. but who
would not be entitled to guiding voice
in the councils. Let each nation reserve
to itself and for its own decision and
let it clearly set forth questions which
are non-iusticiable. Let nothing be done
that will interfere with our preparing
for our own defence by introducing
system of universal obligatory military
training modelled on the Swiss plan.
Finally, make it perfectly clear that
we do not intend to take position of
an international meddlesome Matty.
The American people do not wish to go
into an overseas war unless for a very
great cause and where the issue IS abso-
lutely plain. Therefore, we do not wish
to undertake the responsibility of send
ing our gallant young men to die in cb-
scure fights in the Balkans or in Central
Europe or in a war we do not approve of.
Moreover, the American people do not
intend to give up the Monroe Doctrine
Let civilized Europe and Asia introduce
some kind of police system IN the weak
and disorderly countries at their thresh-
olds, but let the United States treat
Mexico as our Balkan peninsula and re-
fuse to allow European or Asiatc pow
ers to interfere on this continent in any
way that imp les permanent or semi-per
n'anent possession. Every one Of our al
lies will with delight grant this request
if President Wilson chooses to make it.
and it will be great misfortune if it is
not made.
l believe that such IAN effort made
moderately and sanely, but sincerely and
with utter sccrn for words that are not
made good by decds. will be productive
of real and lasting international good.

him for revision the following Monday the day Of his
The League Of Nations

T is, OF course, a serious misfortune
that our people are net getting a
clear idea OF what is happening on
the other side. For the moment. the
point as to which we were foggy is the
league of nations. We all of us earnest
ly desire such a league, only we wish to
be sure that it will help and not hinder
the cause of world peace and justice.
There is not a young man in this country
who has fought, or an old man who has
seen those dear to him fight, who does
not wish to minimize the chance Of fut-
ure war. But there is not a man of
sense who does not know that in any
such movement if too much is attempted
the result is either failure or worse than
failure.
The trouble with Mr. Wilson'S utter
ances, So far as they are reported, and
the utterances of acquiescence in them
by European Statement is that they arc
still absolutely IN the stage Of rhetoric.
precisely like the fourteen points Some
Of the fourteen points will probably have
to be construed as having mischievous
sentence, smaller number might be con-
strued as being harmless and one or
two even as beneficial, but nobody knows
what Mr.. Wilson really means by them,
and so all talk Of adopting them as basis
for a peace or league is nonsense and,
if the tall<er is intelligent, it is insincere
nonsense to boot So Mr. Wilson's re-
cent utterances give us absolutely no
clew as to whether he really intends that
at this moment we shall admit Russia.
Germany, with which, incidentally, we
are still waging war; Turkey, Chine and
Mexico into the league on full equality
with ourselves Mr. Taft has recently
defined tie purposes of the league and
the limitations under which it would act
in 6 way that enables most of US to say
we very heartily agree in principle With
his theory and can, without doubt, come
to an agreement Oh specific detal,s.
Would it not be we'll to begin with The
league which we actually have in ex-
istence, the league Of the Allies VINO have
fought through this great war? Let us
ct the peace table see that real Justice IS
done as among these allies, and that
while the sternest reparation is demand
