I feel sure the people of the county
will be pleased with the following
extract from a letter from the De-
portment: "The enrollment blapks
sent some flays ago have leen received
and 1 want to eougratuhite you on
this ' work Ellis county is away" in
the lead in the purebred sire crusade
and I hope the good work may con-
tinue” There is pne criticism of I have a lasting and beneficial ef-
this letter nnd it is the people of the I feft upon the community for many
county -norl not me that should be j years to come The wonderful resul’s
congliitulatcd still I am very willing accomplished by Captain -Nushaum in
to receive congratulations on living a religious waywilh have a lusting
in such a progressive and enterprising effect for good upon every man witn-
coinmunity Now are we going tojan and child who heard his mighty
rest on our laurels or are
keep right
There are
purebred stock who have not signed
up the -Better Sires Enrollment for
some' cause or another While a
dairy country we are very low ‘in
purebred dairy stock There is still
room for improvement in these lines
I wish to remind the people about
three things that I have mentioned
before: Tirst I get a grent many
farm and stock papers These after
I have looked them over are placed
on the black covered table in the
office and anyone at any time is
welcome to take whatever papers they'
find there Second' I have a bulletin
board in my office and I would be
glad if it was' used more and can be
made of great service When in
town visit it and see ‘if anything of
interest is on it Tack" up your sale
bills your advertisements of stock or
seed for sale or your wants Third
there are a number of Farm Bulletins
in the office on nearly every subject
of interest These are free to ull
Rome of those who had me graft
cultivated grapes into the wild
varieties have fine vines grown from
'these grafts and they will probably
bear this next year ' There are two
ways to do this: good scions may lie
placed right in fhe wild roots or
sections of the wild roots may’ be
moved and placed in a cultivated
' patch 1 you want to know how to
do this I will take pleasure in showing
you Let me know that you want
to do this and I will stop in on pass-
ing and show how It is done ’ This
work has to lie done during the
dormant season from now till Mai-ch
Where there are a great many vtild
vines a large vineyard can be put in
at no cost whatever
Persimmons seem to thrive j here
even on upland 1 w'ould like to
suggest the planting of big groves of
them They are fine hog feed besides
being good human food The seed
reqdily come up if planted from now
on till spring about three inches deep
All seed do not comr up so plant
plenty of the seed They: usually

IF NOT DISARMA-
MENT JHIEN WHAT?
Since the year 1913 eight years
ago the debt of all the nations of the
world totaled only forty-three h-llions
of dollars In die year 1918 the
year the war closed the total debt of
these nations was two hundred and
five billions hut this is not all — Iis
ten: — In the year 1919 following the
war ese debts increased to two
hundred ninety-five billions and then
in the year 190 this debt reached
the enormous' sum of three hundred
eighty-three billions and" the iudiea-
carions now are that by the end of
1921 figures will show the total in-
debtedness to lie over four hundred
billions of dollars This docs not in-
clude you must rcmeinlier the debts
of corporations firms and individuals
but the direct national debt alone j
We saj’ this is astounding that it
is unlielievable blit is it when we go
on building battleships at tlie clip of
one hundred twenty-fiv at a time
and at the sum of forty millions each
and increasing or war supplies of every
kind in the same proportion rijfht
here in America and no doubt the
other nations are doing the same
thing ' If this keeps up much longer
even a little longer can we be other
than bankrupt both nationally and
individually? Would not such a dire
calamity as we are heading for under
the present government extravagance
have a tendency to lead to revolution
and disorder such as the world has
never yet witnessed not even in Rus-
sia? To poor to carry on war civil-
ized war what else would naturally
follow? In the face of these facts
the disarmement conference must not
fail World Peace must be the out-
come of the deliberations going on at
this time in Washington A docu-
ment insuriug these must he written
and signed by all the nations repre-
sented in the name of the millions of
people demanding it
Lets have no “Gentlemen’s Agree-
ment’’ ' Let’s make the world safe
by actual performance of a du ty we
owe not only to those who oqw live
to enjoy the fruits of peace and pros-
perity hut a duty we owe to the oth-
er millions who died upon the cross of
freedom in the world war i

ARNETT CHAPTER A R C
FILES SUIT FOR FUNDS
Attorney C B Ix-edy filed a suit
in the District Court Friday in
behalf of B A Clark and other
members of the Arnett Chapter of
the American Red Cross asking that
the Southwestern American Red Cross
Headquarters lie restrained and
prohibited from ta'king fhe funds in
the sum of §881 29 away from the
loAal chapter The present rules of
the National organization provides
that when a chapter fails to hold the
Annual Roll Call for Membership
The Chapter thus failing to comply
with the rules shall he disbandoned
and the funds turned over to Head-
quarters This year the Annual Roll
Call should have been held November
11th to 24th The Roll Call was
not held as officers of the local
Chapter felt that the majority of our
people were carrying a heavy enough
burden because of the unfavorable
financial conditions and depression
tjiat bas affected all lines of business
The suit filed in behalf of the local
Chapter was for the reason that
everyone connected with the Bed
Cross work here believe that this
m6ney can le used to a better advan-
tage in our own community than
where the Southwestern Headquarters
might spend it Ellis County people
need every dollar they can get and
to allow these Red Cros3 funds to be
taken away would not be best at
this time
A temporary injunction was also
filed in connection with the suit to
prevent the ‘Southwestern Head-
quarters - from "’removing thefunds
until the case is settled Jay the court
METHODIST CHURCH NOTES
Keep to the right In every city
and town the city officers have placed
signs 'at all the crossings which read
Keep to the right Thpse signs are
warnings to you and to me to keep
us from accident and perhaps from
death j '
i - But there are greater signs at some
of the street corners where you live
Of course you don’t call them sign
posts ' You call them churches
Don’t every church say every day to
everybody — Keep to the right? The
people who built your churches were
wise They saw that some people
did not always know the right way to
live - they -must be taught They
saw that some were careless about the
way they speak and act They saw
that 1 some were going wrong and
risking their good name and endanger-
ing their friend's happiness just to do
as they pleased They must be
warned of their danger
Don’t you think it would be good
to think of the church (your church)
as saying every day to everybody —
Keep to the Right?
There will be regular services ’ at
the Methodist church Sunday De-
cember 11th 1921
