In THUURSDAY, NOV. 29, 1917 !\\ Not all the mean ones are staying 1 in the penitentiary. o V Too much time is lost over dis-D putes that do nobody any good. b o Because a man is in jail is r.o rea- < son to assume that he is the meanest tr man in the world, though his lot may fee indeed bad. : o Some farmers who have good land for raising wheat if they have neg-M lected to buy seed and plant it thisw season, may hate it next Spring when they see their neighbors bringing back their flour from the mill at Conway; while they will have to buy at the highest prices ever known in this country, if they can buy white flour at all. o At this time of inflated values just try to remember that as this war jroroil, times will get harder and harder. When the worst comes to the worst then you will wish you had practiced economy. -o Most of commercial travelling men say that their business has increase! during the last six months of the year. It is a sign that people aie spending the more; they have made from cotton and tobacco in buying. , It is a mistake to spend it all. ; o i What is your idea of the war? This question has been asked us hundreds of times by subscriber after subscriber. They want even our humble opinion as to what caused it, how long it will last, and what its results will be to us and to them. To he brief this < war was caused (ue mean brought *. ? the United States) by Germany's refusal to recognize the laws of nations and the rights of America as a no"tral; and went ahead to destroy o n ships and t() say, in effect, that on ships must remain off the seas; and , also by the intrigues and schemes tin ' j she was constantly working to 1 >ri;." : the United States into war with otle *j; nations with whom up to that time we I had been friendly. Some might sa; j that the war is really not ours, hid belongs to England and her allies and that we had nothing to do but to r? main with our hands folded until tin ( other Democratic nations had won the troi* ort/1 . / eL if ui uiivi nncjil/ VIl'l lIlclIIV I J'OIll LI1<* j earth; but there was another reason. why we had to give into it, and that J was that England, France, and their allies might fail and Germany come cut victor, and in that event, as sure as day, there would be nothing in the ! way of Germany's overrunning tile ( United States. In other words if we ' bad to strike, we had to strike now. * As to how long the war will last, no- 1 bcdy knows, except to say that it will c last until Germany is completely ev 1 bausted artd whipped, until, if ncc.es- y nary, victorious armies march up to a K?rlin. We, and our allies, must win c or we die and the time it will take no. a body can tell. In our opinion some change will come before the end u( C 1D18. Before it is over we will lose 4 both money and lives. We go to it whole-hearted, fearless, in the sub TT to the fight until it is won regardless c of these effects. ? The Herald believes in raising wheat because it will save the farmer* of this county the thousands of dollars they have been sending "utvay foi flour. The best advice to the people is not to buy for the purpose of hoarding up and causing higher prices to oth ers by reason of scarcity; but what. ev<|r is in hand save and economize s0 that the other fellow who has non< may purchase at lower prices by rea son of the greater supply on the mil* kct. n Mr it Mi soldiers, Tour 01 vvm>... officers, arrived at Cnmo Sevier ji jsist in training the division.
