RULE OF THE MAJORITY

Frequently we treat ourselves t. re sonant references to "Ihe demo. cratic principles of majority rule.' I! sounds good, and in theory it is right but as a matter of fact we are ruled by a small minority, even in states where there is only one politics.. party. Iii states where there is more than one party less than quart ,r of the qualified voters elect all the representatives of the people, from dog catcher to governor and even t, president.
 In Chicago, for instance, the Trip ,,ne says there arc 100000 men and omen entitled to vote. For the last election, 555,973 of the million qlial- flied to vote, and of these large number, as is the case in all com munites, failed to vote. Those who failed to vote were the "best' citizens as rule. The gang shows up at the pools at least once every election day. That's why the gang run things in cur large cities.
 It Is charged that women neg!e | the duties of the ballot even more than men, perhaps because they have not vet become accustomed to voting.
 The point is that we are governed by d minority and not by the ma or:ty, as we arc fond of saying. Tn. fortunately tho habitual voters i'll GIT large cities are not our best citizens
 They take their part in pub!it af- fairs in telling how things ought to be run and in criticising the pc;iti- clans.

 And after the uproar was ceased Paul called unto him the disciples and embraced them, and departed fo to go into Macedonia.
 2. And when he had gone ove those parts, and had given them mucl exhortation. he came into Greece, 3. And there abode three months And when the Jews laid wait for him as he was about to sail into Syria he purposed to return through Mace doria.

 5. These going before tarried fo1 us at Troas.
 6. And we sailed away from Philip pi after the days of unleavened bread and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.

 8. And there were many lights Ill the upper chamber. where they were gathered together. 3. And there sat in a window a cer- tain young man named Eutychus; be- ing fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sung down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead
 10. And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.

TALKS ON THRIFT. BRINGING TIP NINE CHILDREN.

"There is but one thing wom- en can do now and that Is to choose food stuffs carefully, COOK |. them to the best advantage and |! disseminate their knowledge of right eating and living among these who are not so we'll 1n-
 formed."- D. Grauel
 A mother who is bringing up a family of nine children in these times ought to know good deal about how to manage, and her experience should be of value to others, even to those with much smaller families
 There is such family in Mlnne- sota city (thare are seven girls and two boys, ranging in age from four to twenty-four.) The mother gives some facts about her domestic ar- engagements which are very interes'- ing. They are summarized as fol- lows:
 FOOD-Saving is considered to le largely wise buying. So there is no hand -to-mouth ordering in this faml- lly. A ceinent-walled and floored cold storagc-room in the cellar makes possible the purchase of thirty bushels of potatoes when they are cheapest. Prcporticnate quantities of cabbage. beats, turnlps, carro1', clery. etc., are also bought and stor- ed at the proper time. Flour au sugar are bought by the hundred pounds or barrel. vinegar and molas- ses by the gallon, eggs by the crate. A small vegetable garden contrl- | I>. ,l.& to ne living in the summer, while extens- i i've canning operations carry the war on into the winter. This fall thirty two cans of tomatoes were "put up and many feet of shelving in the cellar groans under the weight of tier after tier of glass jars cf
 peaches, plums, pears entrants and
 jellies. This family could withstand a
 siege of several months, but good ] food, cleanliness, early hours and general care have prevented any
 such necessity, for the family has
 never been quarantined by the health authorities.
 CLOTHING-Bu in quantities is
 the rule here also. When it's time r to buy shoes and rubbers, Paterfami-
 lias muster squad of six or eighI children and marches them to the
 shoe dealer, who is glad to give a
 liberal discount on such sale. With
 preponderance of girls it Is not
 strange that most of the dresses and
 hats are made at home, especially
 since several of the girls, have per-
 force, become adopts with the needle
 and scissors. They watch the bar
 gain sales and also the fashion hints
 in the newspapers. EE i-of-season
 remnants provide good material cheap for next seasoi's dresses. All cleaning and dyeing IS likewise dons at home.

However, insist that the farmers do know how to diversity and need aid to enable them to do so The question is what to raise for a cash crop to substitute for cotton. some will try one thing and some an- other. The peanut is fairly good crop, they make 40 to 50 bushels per acre and sell for 75 cents to s1 per bushel; sweet potatoes are good also. making from 7o to 200 bushels per acre and selling at from 50 cents to S1.0O. Irish potatoes make a good cash crop, but the market is uncer- tain. Cabbage makes another pretty good crop, but the marketing feature presents problem. The watermei- on IS good cash crop if the market Ing conditions are favorable. Sun flowers do very well, selling from , 10 cents per pound. Broom corn IS a good crop, too The most relia- Die Is winter oats, or corn. A crop or corn, oats, hay, peas, potatoes. pumpkins and wheat, with a milk COW, some chickens, garden in the spring, and good brood SOW, will
 insure living for any farmer next year. Arkansas has more acres Of corn than cotton every year, so Ar Kansas is more of corn state in acres than it is a cotton state. The y1eld IS good, too, where the corn Is well cultivated It costs tOo much 10 raise corn in Arkansas, far more than 1t does in the corn belt. There. they use modern implements and methods. They use more horse DOW CT and less hand power. That is be- cause corn is their money crop and they raise it extensively, and prepare TOT It. If we give our attention to 1t we can produce corn more profitably than they do in the corn belt. We can produce hay cheaper, and more per acre. We can raise cattle and hogs and provide pasture easier and long

The Dawn of Christianity
As Described in THE NEW TESTAMENT Translated from the Original Greek.

19. Serving the Lord with all hu- tnility of mind, with many tears, and Temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:
 20. And how I kept back nothing | that was profitable unto you, but have 1 showed you, and have taught you pub lickly, and from house to house,
 21. Testifying both as to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance to- ward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
 22. And now, behold, 1 go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:
 23. Save that the Holy Ghost wit nesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. "A. But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that 1 might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which J have received of the Lord Je- sus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
 25. And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
 26. Wherefore 1 take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. 27. For I have not summed to de- clare unto you all the counsel os God.
 2S. Take heed therefore unto your selves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
 29. For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparins the flock.
 30. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
 31. Therefore watch, and remem- Der, that by the space of three years ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
 32. And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

 34. Yea, ye yourselves know. that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
 35. I have showed ycd all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak. and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said It is rrors, blessed to give than to receive.
 36. And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them ali. :.

Women all over the United States Ire getting ready to attend the 'orty-sixth annual national suffrage :envention in Nashville. Tenn. Nov l2-17.
 Southern women such as Mrs. oesha Breckenridge, granddaughter ,f Henry Clay and president Of the Kentucky Suffrage Association; Mrs. Pattie Ruffner Jacobs, of Ala ,ama;. Miss Kate Gordon and Miss lean Gordon of New York, are plan- hing a parade through the streets turing convention week. The Nasn- 7ille Chamber of Commerce and the Business Mems Association are to entertain the guests. Teas, lunch cons, receptions. dinners, and an old-fashioned barheque at the home of Andrew Jackson are planned.
 No convention, male or female would be complete without bones of contention and this convention meets Inc requirement with two bones: The first is the question of states rights versus a federal amendment. Shall each state decide the question for itself or shall an amendment to The constitution of the United States give all women the right to vote? It's an interesting point. as anyone can see, and the divergent attitude of northerners and southerners on states rights is we'll known. The second bone concerns the Bristow- Mondell amendment and the Shaf- roth amendment. both before con- gress. The Bristow-Mondell amend ment provides straight woman suf- trage clause while the Shafroth amendment is considered by some 3 short cut to suffrage since 1t would have the question submitted to the voters in each state by initi- ative retition.

RAISE OUR OWN LIVESTOCK.

There is the opportunity of, lifs- time awaiting the American raiser os livestock who can now show the world that 1t is within the power of American breeders to produce live stock which will measure up to the standard of the fancy importation s which nave carried off our blue rib bons and won our sweepstakes in contests where foreign and domestic livestock were entered in competition. For several months there have been no importations; Europe's cattle must remain in Europe to feed a hungry and warning nation and after the war has exacted it's toll, tho cream of Europe's prize winners will have been sacrificed to the god of war and a new era will be forced CT the American ;reeder.
 We have always looked across the Atlantic for ultimate perfection in our fancy livestock, but the time has come when the raiser of fine stock must stand upon his own feet and develop his own champions.
 The farmers of Arkansas arc especially favored by possessing the soil and climate conditions that en- able them to grow livestock at a minimum of cost. While there's danger of an over-supply of cotton, the demand for meat is increasing steadily while the supply is decreas- ing. This insures good prices for t;,e product, and market at all times Livestock not only offers great op- portunity for direct profit, but cv marketing grain and forage crops on the hoof. the farmer builds up Inc soil, thereby constantly increasin 5 the value of his farm.

THE HOME-There is a mixture of Scotch, French and German ill this family's ancestry, so it is not sur prising that the home is owned. They rented part of a duplex" at firs, Then bought it and made the rent money from the other part help pay for the property. Later the husband and father, who is a building con- tractor, built a home in part o1 the city more desirable for bringing up children.
 THE BANK-Of course, the fin ances of this family are largely handled through checking account. while most of the children have their own savings accounts or little metal bank at home.

 When Suffragists began to hold their "woman's rights" meetings. it was not thought proper that woman should make a speech be- fore public audience. What would these early workers say if they could be present Monday evening at the convention in Nashville and see the new moving picture play by which their Followers mean to bring the question of suffrage, be- fore the people of the country?
