"Dals lille Dots"

Several days of bright gun
shine this week made a great
Improvement in our roads for
which we should be thankful.
Mr.. E. Jacobs went to Little
Rock Thursday for an x-ray ex-
animation. His health has been
poor of late and he and Mrs. ia
cobs are contemplating a trip to
their old home in Iowa
Several of our neighbors are
feeling pretty blue at the much
higher amount Of taxes they
will have to pay this spring. AS
the old "Irishman said, blessed
be nothin' +"
w. E. Crane has been solicited
to sell his place for q rice farm.
The way things look now, rice
will surely be the king crop of
the future on the Grand Prairie.
Five Of our prominent citizens
engaged in somewhat heated ar
gument on Front street the other
day and before they got through
decided our Nation must have
another war and this time it
would be with the Bolsheviki.
Just let this scribe make a Sug-
gestion: If we will resume bust
ness relations with Russia as
we have with Germany, peace
conditions will come all around
the circle and Lenine and Trot-
sky will play themselves out.
The Russian people will find the
Lenine system is all wrong and
eventually GUST their iniquitous
leaders. Our government is do
ing the right thing to deport the
agitators back to Russia and in
due course of time they will
chang themselves"
We notice several of our dali
rymen are stating their troubles
to the people of Little Rock
through the medium of the CAR
kansas Homestead" our state
farm paper. In our opinion,
this is good thing. for we need
more education on business lines.
"Profteering" is all wrong when
defiantly carried to the extreme
and our people themselves are
going to find a way to take care
of it as it should be. The efforts
of the Homestead" will be ap-
preciated by our dairymen.
The latest news from Europe
we hear is that they want to
borrow 10 or Is billions of dol
lars from us and let our govern
ment sign their notes as "secur.
ity," That is a fine scheme and
good joke on our Uncle Sam.
