WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN
 IT MPERANCE UNION

In another count l charge the American saloon with impairing the efficiency of childhood, it's physical, mental and moral eff. ciency; with corruptirg the foun- tains of life before it's birth.
 Upon this count, the evidence is as multiple, as conclusive and as much without dispute as be- fore. In support of it I quote Dr. Frederick Peterson's ad- dress at Elmira:
 Alcoholism is often a direct cause of epilepsy, but more often epilepsy is due to alcoholism in parents. Thus Bonneville in a study of over 2,500 idiots, epilep. tics and imbeciles admitted to the Bicetre hospital found that over Al per cent of them had drunken parents.
 The simple truth is that the child of alcoholic parents is pau perized before it's birth. It is almost impossible that it should be efficiently endorsed. Vicious longipgs, ,monstrous cravings and impelling thirst are planted in the very fibre of it's being before it is born. It comes into the world handicapped with prenatal criminal proclivities, with body dwarfed, brain undeveloped, in, tellect impaired, deprived of moral stamina, weak of will with out the power to withstand temp tation, susceptible to tuberculo- sis, idiocy, epilepsy and insanity, dependency is it's only heritage, a state teinstitution-benevolent, correctunal or penal, it's certain destiny.
 This in brief is what the Amer ican saloon does for the children.

FREE TRIP TO
 WASHINGTON

My Dear Editor;
 For the benefit of the boys of your locality you may give what publicity you choose to my offer of prize of a free trip to Wash ington, D. C., or $1OO cash, as the winner may elect, to the Corn Club boy producing the best yield of corn on a given acre of land in our district for 1912.
 The prize will be awarded un. der the same rules and regula. tions governing the Corn Club contests of the Agricultural De- partment; boys of our Corgr sional district will thus have two chances to win the trip; either by producing the greatest yield in the state, or the greatest in the district. Should some boy of the district win the state prize then the boy producing the next best yield in the district will be entitled to the district prize.
 Believing that the results be. ing obtained by these Boys Corn Clubs are doing a great deal to awaken older farmers to the agricultural possibilities of our section I am anxious to see every boy in each locality enter this contest.
 Any additional information relative to the organization and operation of Corn Clubs may be obtained by writing to me, Prof. H. s. Mobley, Fayetteville, Ark, or asking your local farm dem. onstratOr. Your friend, w. s. Goodman.

W. N. MUNN FOR
 REPRESENTATIVE

In our announcement column today will be found the name of Will N. Mum for reelection to the Arkansas legislature, sub. ject to the action of the Demo- cratic primary in. March.
 MT. Mum is we'll known to our people as a true gentleman and loyal democrat. During the last session of the legisla- ture he served the people faith fully and was found to be ever on the alert when our best interests were to be considered.
 Mir. Mpnn has nothing to say more than that if elected he will strive to do his duty and like the true Democrat that he is, states that he is willing to give up to some other man when he serves another term.

SCHOOL BOY WRITES
 ESSAY ON EDITORS

1 don't know how newspapers came to be in the world and I don't think God knows, for He ain't got nothing to say about them in the Bible. 1 think the editor is the missing link we read of and strayed into the bushes until the flood, and then came out and wrote the things up and has been here every since. 1 don't think he ever died. I never saw a dead one and never heard of one getting licked. Our paper is a mighty good one; but the editor goes without under clothes alllwinter, and dun'tf wear any socks and pa aint paid his since the paper started. 1 asked pa if that was why the editor had to suck the juice out of snowballs in winter and go to bed when he had his shirt washed in summer.
 Then pa got mad and took me
The Prescott daily news., 1912-01-08

out in the weodshed and licked me awful hard. Is the editor makes mistakes people say he ought to be hanged; but if the doctor makes mistakes he buries them and people dassent say nothing because doctors can read
 and write Latin. When the edi- tor makes mistakes there is law suits and a big fuss, but if the doctor makes one there is a fu- neral, cut flowers and perfect silence. A doctor can use a word yard long without him or any body knowing what it means, but if the editor uses one he has to spell it. If the doctor goes to see another mans wife he charges the man for the visit; but if the editor should go he gets,a charge of buckshot. Any college can make a doctor to or der, but all editor has to be born, Chestnut Chimes.

THE COLDEST WEATHER

The entire state is experience ing the coldest weather at this time we have had in a number of years. The thermometer varied from 6 below at Fayetteville to Is above at Conway. The coldest weather was had in the north western part of the state.
 Sleet fell here about an hour yesterday afternoon and today there is a coat of ice on the ground. There was no snow at this place, but nearly every place in the state had a slight snow fall.
 Although the intense cold has caused considerable suffering throughout the state, no deaths have been reported.

THE DANGER OF LA GRIPPE

Is its fatal tendency to pneumonia. To cure your la grippe cough take Foley's Honey and Tar Compound. R. E. Fish CT, Washington, Kan, says: 'I was troubled with severe attack of la grippe and nothing 1 used did me any good and was threatened with pneu- monia. A friend advised me to use Foley's Honey and Tar Compound and I got some at once. l was relieved from the very first. By the time 1 had taken three bottles my la grippe was gone.
