TIL. FARM BUREAU

Livery night next week there viii
be one or more meetings held in vari-
UUs communities throughout Carron
county in the interest OF organizing
LOCK- Farm Bureau.
Considering the almost desperate
financial condition Of farming inter
csts III general il is imperative that
every farmer in Carroll county Will
attend at least one Of these meetings
and hear discussed the plans 0E the
Organization Committee for the form
ulalon oC the Carroll County Farm
Bureau. This issue OF the Advocate is
devoted almost entirely To the inter
ests OF the farmer, but it does not
contain near the tullness OF detail
which sill be heard at these meet
inga.
Farmers throughout the country
and Carroll county farmers are am0H&
them. have been obliged to deal with
organized business interests going
md coming While the farmer has
his products for sale some organized
hdying force makes him an offer
which he canCt reject because there
is no better means OF turning his pro-
duets into NEEDED cash. Then when the
farmer goes to buy perhaps some Tt
tail article manufactured from his
n" product. he must nay the price
81 ny tne retailer. Consequently he
must accept the price offered when
selling aud pay the price asked when
1uying. 4 ne plight of the farmer is
no longer merely a struggle OF the
individual to make out resrec;! ple
l., l.
tons acute problems And it is for
this reason. rs well as for any other
that farmers need to act IS u unit
not only a Il local unit. but as 4
national unit. The Farm bureau idns
had its origin in the Middle West q
decade or more since. Ia that snort
space of time 1t has grown 50 rauIdiv
as to become known nationally today
as the strongest organization Of
farmers that ever existed. And it,
growth has been the result OF its ap-
peal to the individual farmev. The
policies Of the Farm Bureau are not
dictated by the national body to the
State bodies and. in turn, to the c0un-
~ organizations. On the contrary the
county organizations formulate the
policies of the State Federation and
the State Federations formulgta the
policies Of The national organization.
which i; known as the American
Farm Bureau. And the American
FIrm Eureau. with Headquarters in
WASHINGTON. sees to it that not only
IS LEGISLATION beneficial 10 the farmer
enacted. but is eyer on guard against
any LEGISLATION which might wor; ~
injustice on the farmer.

we meet our duties as American citizens.
 In reply to the first question, desire to say that we will have school and that the children will not be turned out on the streets to run at large as cattle. Paragould, insofar as l am concerned, will be obligated by a further indebtedness to carry on the schools as usual. The faults in the system, which are local. will be adjusted as I shall attempt to show later.
 The stability of this government democracies exist only where public education is to be found. You take away the public schools and l will guarantee that there will be a union of church and state in due course of time. They are the bulwarkg of liberty and democratic govern ment.
 One of the faults and causes of me present predlcament is due to the low assessment of the property in Paragould There is plenty of property on the tax books at less than 15 per cent of it's actual cash valuation and to deny this would be to sign a certificate of ones ig- norance of actual conditions. Did you ever go over the tax books to see about this? If not just make a casual perusal and you will see that the statement made in this paragraph is true. This does not apply to any particular. set of men but we are all sinners as against the law. The present system as we have it has made tax dodgers of us ali

A SOLDIERS, SCHOOL.

Three rehabilitation assistants be longing 10 the Veterans Bureau re- turned from an inspection oi the Vocational School No. 1, at Chilli cothe, O., enthusiastic about what they found.
 We were instructed to inspect this school" said one, 'so we could make intelligent recommendations to disabled service men seeking vo- cational training. We were all agreeably surprised by the progress made there.
 .The hospital is model of it's kind No college can boast more up-to-date dormitories in which the single men are housed. Cottages are being erected for the married men. These are small, but cozy and ! ahomeike.
 Over 400 men are already at work there, apparently getting good train ing.
 This is but one instance of what has been done and is still being done for the rehabilitation of dis abled veterans. There is great deal more to do, but at least prog ress is being made.

he regarded the allies as conquered nations and maintaining that they owe Russia more than Russia owes them, and insisting on guarantees when he himself ought to be giving guarantees.
 It looks like a nation suffering from what alienists call "delusions of granduer, complicated with a mania of persecution Yet it is hard to believe that the Russian people as a whole are in this psy- chopathic state. It is rather the state of the arrogant Bolshevist group that presumes to speak for them.

THOUSANDS AT WORK. ON

Huge Forces Battle High Water In Southeast Ar kansas Flood Sets Rec ord by One Foot.

Little Rock, April 19.-Although he Mississippi river stage at Ark }nsas City has exceeded all records, 2 force of 2,000 men from various parts of Arkansas and Louisiana, working throughout the day, held the leVee8 intact, and J. w. Sum merlin president of the Texas Ba- sin Levee District, said over long distance telephone from Arkansas City Monday night that all Wenk places had been strengthened and that people of the vicinity were feeling easy" again.
 Tie high stage now stands al 57 feet, 7.50 inches Mir. Simmer lin said, one and orc-thlrd feet higher than is shown by any pre- vious record.
 It was hoped that stationary stage would be reached during the day. MT. Summerlin said but a rise of 2 foot was recorded. and Monday night the water still was up the gauge, but very slowly.
 It is impossible 10 say how much more water can be held, but all precautions are being taken. and night force of 750 men was building up low places along the levee.

 Everyone in Russia talks in millions. The newsboy will change a couple of million rubles.' My railroad fare from Moscow to Riga cost 14,00O.000 rubles (formerly about S7,000, 0,000). Forty pounds of flour cost f2,000,000 rubles."
 That seems to explain great deal. It throws light on the amaz- ing attitude of the Soviet represen- tatives at the Genoa conference. In- flation of Russian finance has stim- ulated the normal Russian tendency to inflated ideas. Russian imagina- tion is enormously inflated Rus sian hopes and fears and prejudices and hatreds and suspicious are in Hated. And so it comes about that Tchitcherin, Soviet minister of if nance, can have the sublime impu- dence at Genoa to try to dictate the whole conference, acting as If

THE MODERN CRUSADE.

| The "Women's and Children's Army" leaving St. Louis for Wash /, ,,ington, is a curious manifestation. It's purpose is to ask presidential pardons for husbands and fathers lserving prison sentences for alleged violations of wartime acts. The lorganizer is Kate Richards O'Hare, a socialist leader.
 Perhaps this crusade will be hap lpier in it's issue than the Children B Crusade of the middle agesy in which little folks perished by thousands. And perhaps the pardons for which they ask are deserved, and will be granted. And perhaps it was neces- Isary to take this spectacular means Ito direct public attention to the in- |carceration of people for wartime |offenses who ought to be released in a time of peace.
 But whatever the motive, what ever the need, and whether or not 1t was wise for the women to take their part in the march of the army y"-unquestionably the children should have been left at home. It is of the very essence of childhood to be without judgment on adult matters. And it's lack of such judg- ment should be it's protection against having the burdens of maturity put upon little shoulders. To use chil- dren in any such way as this is sim ply to exploit their childhood for sentimental purposes. A strong cause needs no such assistance; a weak one is not strengthened, in the eyes of people who know any thing about the rights of children by an attempted reinforcement. in vOlving such cruel folly.
 When it is considered that an of ficer of the law risks his life in raiding illicit booze factories with out penny of compensation, it appears that citizens who are not contributing little effort in their support should at least wish to con- tribute to a fund that would indi- cate the citizenshlp's support of the officers actions and efforts to exc cute law enforcement.
