UNIVERSAL PEACE
 ONLY A THEORY
Army School Head Challenges Idea and Tells New Officers They Should Lead Communities Towards
 National Training.

Leavenworth, Kas., June 29.--A warning that the end of wars is not yet in sight and that army officers should make themselves leaders in community life and national training, in order to persuade the American people to keep the national defenses in proper condition of preparedness, was contained in the address of Col Hugh A. Drum, commandant, at the graduating exercises of the school of the line and the staff at the general service school here today.
 "The theory that war is thing of the past, that is, can be made impos- sible in the future," Colonel Drum said, should not be allowed to pass unchalienged, as the consequences thereof may be vital to the life of a nation.
 ITO accept this theory must one not assume human and racial natures to have so changed that national inter ests can be absorbed and replaced by complete international comity? Only when this state of affairs exists will war be avoidable but such a great na. tion as America, whose very existence depends more and more on it's com. merce and trade.
 "So long as man and races retain mentality, soul, two mighty arms and two musc.eu 4egs they can anc will make war ir defense of what they conceive to be justice, liberty and theil own interest and welfare.
 "The world war has taught us that wars in the future will be national in every sense of the word. 1t is now realized that war between first class powers will demand the entire mar power, finance, agricultural, industrial and transportation strength of ma. ton. In minor wars only will perma- nent military forces suffice.
 We must prepare ourselves to be the military leaders of the large na- tional armies which will be required ir the wars of the future. In addition to purely military work, many of us will have to direct the operation o1 railroads, steamship lines, food sup, plies, etc.
 "We must take over in peace ths national training of the youth anc young men of the country. By ma. tional training do not mean military training solely; include citizenship training and the upbuilding of the moral qualities of the youth.
 "This new order of things calls on the military man in America to be- come a part and parcel of the daily life of his fellow countrymen. He must become a member of the local community, be intimate and in har- mony with local interests, and be rec ognized therein as the expert on all national questions relating to citizen ship, to the training and education of the youth and to the measures neces- sary for the defense of the nation"

VETS IN PARADE
 RIDICULE DRYS
New YOrks Stage Monster Demonstra- ton as Protest Against Arid U. s. A.-Use Biblical Texts On
 Banners.

New York, July IA great many day that they bear no love for the eighteenth amendment. Several thous- and of them raised terrible thirst tramping up Fifth avenue in an anti prohibition demonstration and others packed the sidewalks for more than two miles to cheer them. It was called wet parade, and it was soak ing wet-with precipitation. The after noon was one of the hottest of the year, a scorching sun shining down thru humid atmosphere that carried scarcely whiff of breeze.
 Mayor Hylan weltered in the seat of honor in the reviewing stand at Madison Square. Each group greeted him with complimentary outbursts as they passed by. The native-born ad- dressed him blantly and intimately and every now and then somebody would loudly inquire if his honor didn't long for schooner of lager on such hot day
 The marchers addressed tho mayor by his title, or as Mister" Hyland- Some of the marchers bore banners which called on all to witness "the It. rage on personal liberty against which they perspired in protest.
 Not few women and children par ticipated in the parade. They were so outnumbered by the masculine marchers, however, that it seemed manifest that the male of the species is more thirsty than his mate. Every body in the line had an American flag and many wore miniature liquor bot ties approximately pinned to their lapels.
 There were more than 5000 organi- cations in line, about one hundred of them Italian, those in charge an- nounced. Bands played drinking songs and How Dry Am" Ban- ners by the hundreds mingled the serious sentiments of the thirsty with the lighter view of people on the water wagon. These placards, in a manner speaking, put the kick into | the parade.
 One placard read: Prohibition took the sunshine from our homes and put the moonshine in" Another said, Russia went dry in 1913, and mad in 1921. How rational do you feel your self?"
 A third declared: -Four million sol- diers fought for liberty and were re- warded with prohibition. How come 2" The serious signs asked everybody to notice wht alcohol aridity had done to the American merchant mar inc.
 They suggested that every Bible reader learn who made wine from water that the wedding feast might be merry, and the Biblical line. "Use a little wine for thy stomach's sake" was also quoted.
 There were pictures of the Last Supper and of the Goddess of Liberty shorn of her pose and with shactles that bound her arms together. Some of the banners urged people to take the parade and the sentiment it represented with seriousness, each exclaiming that marchers wanted the eighteenth amendment repealed and the Volstead act 'liberalized, and furthermore, that they were going to fight for that cause.
 When the parade ended partici- pants and spectators, hot and dry throated, poured into every available soda fountain to queneh their collect i've thirsts with soft drinks.

bring $3,0O0 a year. The hill farmer should raise a variety of products te sell, because every year he is likely tc have a failure with one or meet ar over supplied market. A good plan is to arrange for four chief products adapted to his farm and which he anc his family like and are capable o1 producing and raising each in suth- cient quantities to bring, under ordin. ary conditions, $l,000 cash yearly With one failure, either in producing or from poor markets, he will still sell 5000 yearly.
 Flight acres of sweet potatoes will average a marketable crop that will bring $1 900, and there will be enough cull potatoes to fatten from two tc four hogs an acre. Many Arkansas sweet potatoe growers average double this amount.
 Five acres of strawberries on suit able land will average $1 1000 annual ly, besides cost of crates.
 Two hundred hens skillfully han dled will produce eggs and poultry an nually that will bring $1,000, beside! enough to pay for feed and supple: not produced on the farm The hen; must be select layers, raised, fed ant handled to produce eggs the fall anC winter, when prices are highest.
 From eight brood sows carefu hog man can produce yearly enougi fat hogs to bring $1 ,000.
 "Ten real dairy cows, bred for fal and winter production and fed ant handled right, will produce yearl! $1 900 worth of dairy products, besides paying for concentrated feeds lil' cottonseed meal.
 Spanish peanuts are one of thu most productive crops on thin, sandy land. A skillful farmer can raist $1 ,000 worth of nuts and hay on 2I acres.
 "There are other crops that can b, raised in small quantities and shipped comparatively that will help out an, deficiency in other products. An acr, of radishes will frequently brins from $200 to $500. Cucumbers, can taloupes, watermelons, cabbage ant Irish potatoes can be raised by care l full hill farmers in small acreages where neighbors will join in shippins together, and will bring considerable money. Usually money can be mad' by saving seed and selling it.
 Stick to Staple Products.
 "The hill farmer should stick t, staple products, like sweet potatoes poultry and eggs, hogs and dairy pro ducts, as his sure things Of course he will want to raise a few acres o1 cotton as a surplus crop. Strawber ries, sweet potatoes and peanuts neec cooperative shipping associations tC secure best prices.
 "Velvet beans should be planted 1T every row of corn grown to feeC horses, mules or cattle Dr. Dorman': plan of planting soy beans and corr in the same rows and peanuts in tho middies produces a crop for fattenine hogs that on thin hill lands makes 800 and upward pounds of pork al acre. Winter pastures and cover crops must be utilized to the limit such as Abruzzi rye and burr clover Real pastures, and not fenced gullies and weed patches, are necessary foi the work stock, dairy cattle, hogs ant poultry. Every pound of manure mus be used to advantage. Commercial fer. tilizers must be used intelligently anC literally.
 Summed up, real farming in Ar kansas will return the hill farmer 5000 year cash sales from 80 acres and the food and feed needed on the farm"

LONG TIME SLEEP
 ENDS AT Fl. SMITH
Jim Eslinger, After Mapping Three Years, Ends His Imitation of Rip Van Wrinkle and Demands
 Something to Feat.

Fort Smith, July 4.--After a nap of more than three years, Jim Eslinger, undoubtedly the winner of the long distance slumber sweepstakes of the world, is awake. James opened his eyes and spoke for the first time in over four years at o'clock Saturday morning, and he is still awake. He had not spoken for some time before he went to sleep and he has been at the hospital in Fort Smith, where he took his long sleep, for nearly eight years.
 q ain't where was," were the first words Jim is said to have spoken on awakening, and these five words sum up about as eloquently as the limita- tions of the Enlish language permit, the status of Jim Eslinger. He faint where he was" Jim is in a new world, and tho his mind is hazy, he realizes that some great change has come over him.
 He says he is in new world. Inas- much as he was mentally incapacitat- ed for several years before he went to sleep, his mind almost blank because of pellagra, and inasmuch as several thing have occurred as a four year world war, Jim speaks truth when he says he is in a new world.
 He is unable to sit up, except when propped up by pillows, but he can turn over in bed and he has good ap- petite. His eating for many months | has been an unconscious process and consisted of taking whatever the nurses at the hospital, where he has been all these years, offered him. Now he indicates preference for certain kinds of food.
 May Return t0 Sleep. Whether he ever will get out of his bed and walk is a question. lie may go to sleep again in a few days, tho | physicians think he may recover suai- ciently to be able to get about, if not
 to leave the hospital.
 Jim is said to have recovered en- tirely from the pellagra. Since he went to sleep, or at least since he lapsed into a condition where he tooS no notice of what went on around him, his wife has died, daughter has married and other members of his family have scattered. One daughter who lives here has visited him since he awoke and he recognized and talked with her. He is not entirely lucid, however. His mind wanders at times, but this weakness may leave him as he gains strength.
 Some months ago Jim opened his eyes but recognized no one and imme- diately went back to sleep. Several weeks ago he appeared to be ill and his appetite failed him and it was thought the end might be approaching but he recovered his usual health. | Jim is between 40 and 30 years of age, and has little education His case has attracted considerable at- tention in the medical world, especial ly should he remain awake and recover his normal faculties. Should he re- main awake, he probably never will have to work again. A man who has slept for more than three years and survived, beating the record of every one except the mythical Rip Van Wrinkle ought to De able to exhibit himself at so much per exhibit for enough to more than pay his board.
