OF INTEREST TO FARMERS.
We want a good correspondent at
every postoffice in the county, where
we are not already represented. Ad
dress Correspondence Editor, Week
ly Independent, Newport, Ark.
In 1776 * “the embattled farmer
fired a shot heard round the world.”
Liberty, the liberty of American
farmers—was then at stake. Liber
ty, the liberty of a whole world, is
now at stake. Now as then the issue
is to be settled by shots fired by
American farmers. It becomes more
and more evident that this war is to
to be won by the big bread basket,
rather than by big guns. Every ad
ditional head of grain produced means
another shot at autocracy, despotism
and militarism. Take another shot—

county in congratulating Mr. Parish
on his appointment are unanimous in

didacy is subject to the action of the
Democratic Primary and he expects
to meet the voters and present his j
claims personally in due time.
