WHY, JOHNSTON FAMIL YWONTHE WAR
Had 50, 800 Sons in Khaki~Only5 II 900 Smiths

The much discussed question of
who won the war appears to be
answered by the Bureau of War
Risk insurance. 1t wasn't the army,
the navy or the marine corps. 1t
was the Johnston family. Statistics
compiled by the War Risk Insur-
ance bureau show that the John
ston family had $4,000 members en-
listed and drafted in various
branches of the army, navy and
marine corps.
The Smith family naturally would
be expected to play a conspicuous
part in any big drama like the
world war, and statistics show that
this family was among those pres

SAYS
u. S. WILL NOT
ACCEPT MANDATE

WASHINGTON, April 27.-Rejec-
ton of the allied proposal that the
United States accept the mandate for
Armenia was forecast today when
Senator Hitchcock, administration
spokesman, declared he did not be-
sanction such a proceeding.
Added to Republican comment
which declared the plan was an at
tempt to wish on us the poor
house of the world Mr.. Hitchcock's
attitude was believed to indicate def
nitely that congress Will never give
It's consent to the project.
Senators take the position that the
allied statesmen have stripped the
Near East of everything they want
and now offer to the United States
the mandate for Armenia.
This mandate would involve Amer
lea in large expenditures ana posi-
bly, war, it is held.
'I do not believe the American
people will support our taking the
mandate for Armenia Mr.. Hitch
cock said 'The boundaries of Ar
menia have not yet been defined, and
when they are it is probable that
large Turkish areas will be included.
If that happens, conflicts between the
Armenians and Turkey would be in
evitabIe and we would be involved.
1t might not be much OF war, out II
would require some military effort on
our part. Besides, acceptance of the
Armenian mandate would require the
wide separation of our army, If we
accept the mandate, we should most
certainly have Constantinople and

The American Cotton Association.

The American Cotton Association is
now engaged in big drive in Grant
Parish, and it merits the attention and
membership of every class of business
men. The movement is South-wide in
it's scope. You must know that the
everlasting prosperity of the South
rests upon cotton, and out of the pro-
ceeds of this cotton must come our
schools, our churches, our roads and
our civilization. The South has been
for fifty years at the mercy of manu-
featuring interests and stock specula-
ting organizations backed by millions
of dollars, and these powerful interests
have always bought the cotton crop
of the South when it was dumped on
the market at once, and consequently
slumped in prices, and sold it at enor-
nous profits. And these same inter-
ests will always mercilessly prevent
the cotton producer from receiving a
fair and just return for his crop, just
so long as the cotton grower remains
in state where he must compete with
such forces single-handed and unorgan-
ized.
The drive in Grant is under the su-
pervision of Mr.. Geo. M. Dunn, State
field organizer, who is to visit every
community in the parish in the interest
of this great movement
The following is schedule of meet
ings to be held in Grant parish.
Thursday, July Is, 1:3O p. m. o. X.
School, 300 p. m. Oak Grove.
Friday, July 16. 1:30 p. m. Bagdad,

Taken all in all the American Cotton
Association is the greatest movement
ever begun in the South and includes
every class of business. The only op-
position it has encountered so far has
come from the Stock Exchange and
the owners of private warehouses, re-
presenting exclusively selfish interests.
Now that the campaign is on, however
these interests are going to be forced
to come out and take their stand either
for or against this beneficient move
ment, and if then they continue to op-
pose it the world will know they repre-
sent selfishness.
Persons desiring to join the Associa-
tion may do so at any of the places
and at the times above designated.
