SORGHUM A SAFETY VALVE.

Farmers in this section would do we'll to devote considerable acre age to sorghum this year.
 \ We have a syrup plant at Pine Bluff and good market for the product of the farmers toll. The situation regarding cotton is proble nautical. There is no telling what might happen in the cotton market by next fall. The high prices that have been paid for cotton this year ought not to blind those who rals. it. Next year it might be different. We need foods--that's a certainty. There's as much need for diversiiica. tion as there ever was. In addition to growing what we eat we now have an opportunity to grow another marketable crop in sorghum. The Chamber of Commerce has been out working to obtain enough acreage to keep the plant here in operation. With added acreage we might he able to take care of there would be an added market. In time it might be developed into an industry of much greater magnitude. It is certain that the growing of sorghum is one of the safety valves in the present situation, which Dr. Knapp describes as "at the best extremely uncertain"

PREPAREDNESS AND POLITICS.

With Rear Admiral Sims protest
 ing to senate committee that the fl1ck of naval preparedness when the
 United States entered the war
 menaced the world and delayed the
 allied victory, and with Senators Lodge, Shields and others bending al.
 their energies to defeat real com
 bination of world power to preserve the future peace of the globe, the house naval committee rejects the naval building programme submitted
 by Secretary Daniels, says the Com
 mercial-Appeal. This republican body defends it's action in opposing the Strengthening and development of the navy on the ground of economy ut the same time that the republican
 organization is supporting Admiral
 Sims in his attack on the navy for not being strong enough. We submit these facts to the calm judgment of all fair-minded persons who can req lize how far partisan and narrow  politicians can menace the welfare and well-being of the nation.
 Any child must realize that if Lodge, Shields. Serman and Co.,, sue |ceed in destroying the International organization for peace, this country must keep itself prepared for war and all other eventualities. The only way to do this is to have navy as
 strong if not stronger than that of any other possible combination of nations hostile to us. Every day we get evidences of the fact that the action of the United States senate in refusing to ratify the peace treaty has destroyed a large part and is continuing to destroy the remainder of the high esteem and good will for this country that the world possessed. If we finally repudiate all obliga- tions what menace will this hostile sentiment assume.
 A habit should be called on the activity of these self-seeking politi clans before they place the very existence of this nation to Jeopardy. If we are to go back to conditions as they prevailed in 1914 it will be- treason to the country to oppose any measure that seeks to secure us against any possible enemy. We must keep at peace and continue to exist either by joining hands with the other powers for peace o: our individual military might. It's a league of nations or miiitarism if we are not to perish.

Before the United States went in to the war, Debs oI- posed every effort to have Uncle Sam declare war on Germany. Others did the same. But they with Debs were in the minority and soon the United States was in the war. It was then that Debs made fatal mistake. He did all he could to hamper America's prosecution of the war, and he thus helped Ger many. If Debs, when once war was declared,' has lined up patriotically and had done what he could to help America win, his candidacy for the presidency now might be thing to reckon with it.

the Great Northern, So wheat may
be expected before the crop OF 1921.
cit isn't at all unreasonable to
anticipate SIS wheat next winter or
at any event at some time before
the end of the coming crop year"
said Mr.. Hill. wheat now is quot
ed at $3.50 bushel and it is well
known that a crop shortage is in
sight. It has been impossible for
the farmers to get enough men to
plant their crops and they will be
hampered again. because of the lack
of labor when the harvest arrives.
In some sections of the country
weather conditions have been un-
favorable"

The rat is the worst animal pest
in the world. From its home in
filth it visits residences and store
rooms to pollute and destroy food
and life. 1t is said it annually de-
stroys in the United States the.
equivalent of the gross earnings of
100000 men. The common brown
rat breeds six to 10 times a year
and produces an average of 10. at a
litter. Young females breed when
only three or four months old. So
never neglect an opportunity to
swat the rat. .-..
