Why Raise Wheat?
The holding of cotton is use
less as a remedy for the present
situation unless the bouth re
duces her production of cotton
next year and hereafter by rais
ing foodstuffs with which to
supply the farm. A surplus car
ried over and added to another
big crop would only make mat
ters worse- The surplus to be
handled to any advantage at all
must rely on a greatly reduced
crop and the sooner this pros
pect becomes absolutely assured,
the quicker will the present crop
bring what it should to be a fair
return to the grower.
Then why not commence now,
as many communities have done,
to show that this diversification
is not mere talk, by preparing
ground and sowing winter crops
of wheat and oats. The farmers
of this section have found win
ter oats a profitable crop well
adapted to our soil, but few have
experimented with wheat. The
continuation of the European
wrar insures a high price for the
grain for another year at least,
regardless of any increase in
acreage in this country and Can
ada. So this is the best of all
times to try wheat culture on
suitable lands in the South.
Wheat is more resistant to ad
verse weather conditions than
oats and early varieties ai’e best,
because less apt to damage by
reason of damp wret weather.
Seeding should be done in Octo
ber and tests have shown that
the yield from drill sown wheat
over broadcast sowing is 3 1-2
bushels more per acre.
L. W. Osborn, assistant
agronomist of the Arkansas Ex
periment Station says:
“Best results are obtained by
plowing to a depth of six or
eight inches earJiiijpJja the fall and
working down with the disk and
smoothing harrow before seed
ing. Seed should be sown at the
rate of six pecks per acre.”
Fultzcaster and Fultz do well
throughout the Ozark plateau
and take a high rank as milling
wheats in those sections where
grown. A car of the latter
named wheat has been purchas
ed by one of our progressive
wholesalers and has been placed
on sale through the retail mer
chants. Northern varieties of
wheat should not be grown be

Atfternpon Closing Asked.
The merchants and business
men of Newport are asked by
the Fair Association to close
for three days Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday of our
first annual fair next week for
four hours during the afternoon
or from 1 to 5 o’clock while the
races are on.
Many of the employes wish to
attend the fair and if business is
allowed to cease for those hours,
the attendance will be greatly in
creased and the fair assured a
more hearty support from our
own people.
j The merchants have found
from experience that early clos
ing hours do not decrease the
volume of business but merely
' cause the trade to confine their
buying to shorter hours to
which all adapt themselves,
'working no inconvenience or
tax upon either.
So it will be in liberal closing
hours during the first three days
of the Fair. Saturday is of
course not included in the re
quest. And we hope all our
merchants will give the Fair
that support which such a clos
ing arrangement would provide,
leaving ample time for all out-of
town visitors to the Fair to do
their shopping while in the city.

Secret Service Men To Enforce
Law.
Special to Independent.
! Little Rock Oct. 6.—At a meet
ing of the officers and members
of the Arkansas Game and Fist
Protective Association in Litth
Rock Saturday arrangement:
were made to employ secret ser
vice men to keep a close lookoul
for violations of the game anc
fish laws both Federal and state,
and report all violations to the
proper authorities.
Especial attention will be giv
en to the illegal shipping oi
game and game fish from the
state. In the past it has been £
custom although it is a stricl
violation of the state law, foi
parties coming into Arkansas
to carry their kill out in trunks
and suit-cases. While the ex
press and railroad companies
have used precaution in accept
ing packages with game anc
game fish it is known that there
has been a great deal of this spe
cies of smuggling.
This year it is the intention oi
the Association to secure evi
dence against all persons under
j taking to ship or carry game oi
;fish beyond the state line and
ipush prosecutions against botli
j the shipper and the carrier.
The attorney-general has pro
nounced the local law of Missis

of ducks from the state uncon
stitutional and no doubt a test
case will be made and carried to
the Supreme court.
An effort will also be made to
enforce the non-resident laws of
the state. One non-resident
hunter is reported to have said
that he would come into Arkan
sas early in October with a large
pack of dogs and locate for the
winter in Desha county. This
party has been coming into Ar
kansas for years, killing untold
numbers of bear and deer and in
his private car taking them out
of Arkansas. It is said it re
quires from two to three deer a j
day to feed his dogs. The Asso
ciation proposes to keep a close
watch for this man and his par
ity which usually consists of
! about fifteen members.
It is understood the party
claims a right to hunt in Ark
! ansas because he is interested in
I some timber lands in the state.
The Association claims that the
fact that a person is a member of
a corporation owning land in the
state does not give an individual
the right to hunt under the non
resident clause.
Appeals To Britons To Arms.
(By Ed L. Keen, Staff Corres
pondent of the United Press)
London, Sept. 21.—By Mail to
New York—Arthur Mee, the
well known Cardiff, editor and
journalist, has just written the
greatest appeal yet made to the
men of England to take up arms
for their country. He declares
'that England is lacing possible
annihilation and that unless its
citizens put forth every effort
they can that they may become
subjects of the Kaiser. His ar
ticle follows:
“England is fighting for the
right to be a free nation; she is
fighting, not only for France and
Belgium, but for our own homes.
“This war is a hundred times
more important than the Boer
war. It means life and death
for us. We are fighting to keep
our word, but we are fighting
also to keep our homes. We are
fighting, with France and Belgi
um, to keep the Germans out of
■ England.
“But the German army presses
on, and your home, your country,
i these quiet streets, are in peril.
You must help England now if
you would save her. If the
Germans win you will be a sub
ject of the Kaiser. You will no
. longer be a free citizen; you will
be a Prussian slave, ruled with
an iron rod by officers from
‘Pottsdam.
! “There is no doubt about it,
• and it is possible. It is possible
■ !that unless you strike a blow
i now, the last days of our free
nation may be upon us. It is
possible that the German army
1 may defeat the Allies. It is
■ possible that the British fleet
. may be beaten and that the Ger
( man troops will land in Eng
i land.
I l-T 1 11 1_i. __
11 vjrcrlllcllljr M1GU1U ucat wo,
' you will be a colonist of Prussia.
1 Your children will be taught
• German and compelled to speak
r it;your boys will be German con
scripts- You will be taxed to
keep up the German army which
will keep you down. You will
lose all that England has given
you—your free speech, your
vote, your free newspapers, and
' your right to organize.
; “Germany is not a democratic
country. In England the people
own the government. In Ger
many the government owns the
people. ; The British idea is that
; the will of the people must pre
; vail; the German idea is that
the will of the people must a
gree with the will of the Em
peror.
,
“In England the army is the
servant of the nation; in Ger
many the military class over
rides the people. In England the
' King rules through the minis
ters; in Germany the Emperor
rules without them.
“There is no secret about the
German Emperor’s intentions.
He means to conquer England
and France. He is throwing a
way masses of troops to stagger
the Allies to defeat bv force of
numbers, and is terrifying the
civil population by cruelties too
horrible to believe.
“He could have stopped the
war by a word; he could even
now stop the shooting down of
innocent populations and the de
struction of beautiful buildings
and works of art.
“But he does not because he
dare not. It is his way of win
ling and he must win at any
jost if he is to save his throne.
He has staked his crown on the T
Meat of England in order that
he may strip us of our trade and
our Empire, and be master o
all Europe. j
“The Germans are almost at
our gates. The gallant Belgians cj
and French are keeping them e«
back until more British troops
arrive in France. Our little ar-;
my is doing its best but the p
dauntless spirit of our thousands |
cannot hold out forever against a
Germany’s millions- Soon thej n
must be at our doors
“Then, if the German army a
should come, your freedom, !1;
your home, perhaps your life, ,r
will go. Nothing will matter to r
you then. These streets will be
filled with German troops; per- s
haps your house will be burned
down; but these things will be s
nothing. What will matter is
that all your life you will be un- i
der the heel of the German army
and you will lose even the right
to put a poster like this on your
walls unless it has been passed i
by a German officer. That will ^
be the end of England.
“Men, will you let England go
down? She has done something
for you. She has given you free
dom and sheltered you while ty- j
rants trampled on other lands, j
She has given you peaceful years .
and your children opportunities, j
She has made you prouder than
a Roman.
“Will you help her now? En
gland is in the gravest peril she
has ever known and 1,000,000
men can save her. Our little ar
my is fighting against great odds
while you stand here. Will you
stand and see it beaten?
“Give yourself for home de
fense or foreign service. Your
family will be cared for and you
will be free after the war. Ap
ply at the Post Office.”
Lover'* Unique Devotion.
An unusual manner In whloh I
lover’s devotion was shown occurred
at Zurioh, Switzerland, recently. A
cobbler, whose sweetheart died, ap
prentlced himself to a stone-cutter Is
order to execute a fitting tribute t«
her memory, and after fourtee*
months he was able to carve a beau
tlful rose on a marble slab and write
beneath: "Such was She.” After 11
had been erected over her grave h<
returned to his first trade, and no\
repairs shoes a* before.
Professor Recited Badly.
One day a colle/n professor, going
•o his class, came across one of his
students who had just fallen down
Asking him how ne fell, the student
-eplied, ‘‘Notwithstanding." Telling
he anecdote a short time later the
professor said: “I met. Mr. Junior the
./.her day. and he made a very bright
•emark. He had ju3t fallen down, you
now; and, when I asked him how It
mppened, he said, ‘Nevertheless.’ »
