ROSPERITY
ABOUT BUYING IN PINE BLUFF

Concerning the contemplated visit
to Pine Bluff Of a salesman for an
out-of-town retail house, the Chamber
of Commerce bulletin yesterday ex-
psesses surprise "at our daily news
paper for not taking the matter up.
This is good subject to fight on, and
it is going to take a whole lot OF good
hard work to educate our people to
buying at home"
II any people have done more, or II
there are any doing more than the
Pine Bluff newspaper folk to combat
the mail order evil and the unpatriotic
practice Of sending Pine Bluff money
out Of the city for goods that can be
purchased here, will some one kind
ly take us by the hand and lead us
to where we may glimpse those same.
Of course, it is disloyal to send out
OF Pine Bluff money earned in Pine
Bluff for goods that may be bought in
Pine Bluff as cheaply as they may be
secured elsewhere, but it is not only
the. people who need to be educated
cup to buying at home" The mail
order houses secure cashwith- order
customers in Pine Bluff and vicinity
because they send out big catalogs,
showing pictures and giving descrip-
tons and prices of their goods. Not
always do the real articles come up
to catalog specifications, but the pur
chaser does not find this out untn
the goods arrive, which is some weeks
after he sent out his cash with the
order. Other retailers get orders from
Pine Bluff because they send to the
city expert statesmen. Good business
gcns out of Pine Bluff because the
cut-of-town houses come after it,
Only . few of the local houses go
after business hammer and-tong fash
! i'm. Many of the Pine Bluff mer-
chants give the impression that it is
a matter of indifference to them
whether they obtain local trade. They
do not solicit: they do not advertise.
Fortunately for Pine Bluff not all
mercantile establishments are con-
Quoted in this fashion. The more pro-
gressive indicate to the people they
want business, and to obtain it they
are willing to make concessions.
These advertise; they solicit trade:
they describe the goods they have and
the prices at which they can be
bought, and these goods and prices
rrove that people can buy in Pine
Bluff as cheaply, quality considered,
rs they can buy anywhere in the
United States. These tradesmen are
not the one who are squealing loud
est about the mail order evil They
are fighting the mail order houses
with the best weapons they have
the local newspapers. quality, price,
courtesy and guarantees of satisfac
ton.
Pine Bluff people are no different
from those of any other part of the
country: They like 10 be, catered to;
they like to know what an article is
like aud what il is likely to cost be-
fore they enter store. Local trades
men cannot issue catalogs, but they
can present their offerings to the
prospective buyers through the news
papers, and do it at less cost than by
catalogs.
While the people do need to be
educated up to buying at home"
many Of our tradesmen also need to
be educated up to helping the news
papers combat the practice Of send

Washington, Dec 29.--Daughters OF
Southern farmers, who have been
members of the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultures garden and
canning clubs have been able to give
their fathers practical demonstrations
of the value of crop diversificatlon
during the present bad cotton year.
The actual products which the girls
have put up are proving an invalu-
able asset in many farm homes where
the cotton crop has not brought the
customary returns and many farm
,ers arc now substituting whole
acres of onions and tomatoes in place
of cotton after seeing the success
which the young women have made
with these crops.
A conference of the women agents
from fifteen Southern states is in
progress in the United States d3part-
ment of Agriculture's office of farm
ers' cooperative demonstration work
in the South. Fifteen women agents
are present, each representing state
in addition to the members of the Of
flee who have charge of the work.
These agents supervise the work of
$50 country agents who direct the
work OF 33,42O girls. Data Of some
of the state reports given here is
merely an indication Of the general
interest that is being taken more and
more throughout the whole South in
the enhancement work.

DEFECTS IN ALTON

DECEOAS I'm MEL hEioEN 1 "A aiVHs
THERE'S a growing belief that poll
tics are not as representative as they
ought to be- Government by repre-
sentaton surely has it's drawbacks,
and though no one Of responsibility
favors a radical upheaval, students
Of government are attempting to dis
! cover practical way to bring a
change for the better.
Consider the Pr1hibitionists, for
instance. They polled 2OS,92S woes in
1912, yet are not represented in con-
gress by single member The same
rule holds good regarding the Social
| lists, who have one member slated for
| the Gath congress and polled nearly a
million votes. The Prograssives, also,
suffered in 1912 from our system OF
| representation. Polling more than A.
10000 votes, they only obtained IS
| electoral votes. The Republicans,
with vote OF 3.4S4, 956 in 1912, only
achieved eight electoral votes. The
Democrats, with a vote not twice as
large by 100000 votes, had 435 cleo
toral votes.
| The Democratic landslide of 1912
was one of electoral votes only, due
to our system Of representation. Tt
eliminate these conditions, however
is hard problem.

Madge Farrar has proved the pos
sibilities Of growing crops all the
year round in her state. By raising
and selling vegetables throughout the
year she made net profit of $13162,
while the second best girl, who also
did good work but did not diversity,
made $96.20 profit. The girl with the
second average grew only beans and
tomatoes during the fall and summer.
Miss Farrar, However. having grown
these crops put in onions during the
winter which she sold at good profit
early in February. She then pro-
ceeded to plant cabbage which
brought her an income during April
and May, while peas were her main
crop in June. This brought her back
to the tomato and bean season and
rounded out a year of profitable vege-
table growing.
Another young woman found a
peach orchard into which hogs had
been turned. She took her Gamer
with her and established herself in
the orchard to save what was left
from the hogs, and made $50 in one
week from her work. Similar inst
ances have demonstrated the POSSIBLE
tiles of saving waste in that section
and there has been more general
interest exhibited not only by the
farmers daughters but by many 'of

SEVEN METHODS OF SAVING
Some Good Uses for Utilization OF
L~eftovers Which Will Interest
the Housekeeper.

/. Save badly cut pieces Of bread
and slices left over from the table for
q bread pudding OF a Brown Betty.
Save every scrap and crust to crumb
up for stuffings OF to use for breading
scallop dishes, croQuettes, etc.
2. Remove the sinew from the legs
of a fowl when it Is drawn and he
meat Of the leg will be as good as that
of the second joint.
8. Cold rice should always be saved:
1t can be added to a soup, mashed into
%croquettes. mixed with eggs and fried
like hominy or used in a scallop dish.
4. Leftover vegetables, when the
amount is too small to be served
again, may be mixed with gravy for
q ragout, or used separately or togeth-
err for a salad. C%auli1ower, potatoes
and cabbage are good broken in small
pieces covered with grated cheese and
baked in a baking dish, "au gratin."
s. Small portions Of leftover cereals
may be added to the pancake batter
and will greatly improve the cakes.
Or they may be rolled into balls and
fried, or added to the soup stock.
6. The tough ends of steak may be
chopped very fine, seasoned we'll with
pepper, salt, butter and a little onion
juice and formed into balls or cakes
for sautes or broiled for luncheon.
Scraps Of white meat may be chopped,
mixed with a white sauce warmed up
and garnished with parsley and hard
boiled eggs. The of fowl and
the bones of roasts should be used
to make a nourishing soup. Beef fat
and drippings and the fat from poul.
try should be clarified and kept for
frying. Wings and legs of fowls that
are left over are good grilled for
luncheon.
Z. Sour milk may be used for corn
bread, griddle cakes, ginger bread and
biscuits. 1t may be made into cream
cheese or turned into a refreshing
drink by icing 1t and whipping it for
about five minutes with an egg beaten.

CANDIES TO FOLLOW FEAST
CONNECTIONS That Are Sure to Please
If Care ls Taken in Cooking
and Mixing.
(By MARTHA ELLEN PERRYMAN)

tBy MARTHA ELLEN PERRYMAN)
First there are some hints it will be
well to observe if you hope for good
fortune in candy-making: Granulated
sugar is preferable, and always used
unless some other kind is specified.
Candy should not be stirred while boil
ing. Cream of tartar should not be
added until the strip begins to boil.
and butter should be put in when the
candy Is nearly done. Flayors are
most delicate when not boiled with
the candy, but added when it is taken
from the fire, or when it is being
pulled.
Butter Taffy.-Boil three cupfuls Of
brown sugar, one-half cupful of molas-
ses, and n fourth cupful each OF
vinegar and hot water. When the
candy will crisp in cold water add two
teaspoonfuls of butter, cook three
minutes, flavor with a teaspoonful Of
vanilla and cool in buttered pans.
Hickory-Nut candy.-Boil two cup
water without stirring until the strip
will spin a thread when poured from
the spoon. Flavor with extract Of
lemon or vanilla, set off into cold wa
ter, stir in one cupful of hickory-nut
meats, then into fiat tins, and when
cool cut in small squares.
Peppermints.-Boil two cupfuls Of
sugar and one cupful of water without
stirring until the strip threads from
the spoon. Remove from the fire and
beat with an egg-whip until white and
creamy, flavor with one-half teaspoon
full Of essence Of peppermints gess IL

reports. A combination Of inundated
country, the remnant OF the Belgian
army under King Albert and the &C
tivity of the British warships seem
ingly all contributed toward ending
the costly struggle.
A Berlin official report states that
failure of the German movement is
due entirely to the flooded state OF
the country where the water in places
Is over a mans head, but it declares
that the army Of Emperor William
withdrew in good order and without
losses. After nearly three weeks of
desperate fighting the brunt Of the
attack now has shifted to the Ypres
region.
In the Ypres district the British
army of Field Marshal Sir John
French reinforced by Indians and ter
ritorials apparently must meet an
other onslaught. To the scene of this
contemplated battle, according to re-
ports, Emperor William has gone to
give encouragement to his men by his
presence.
British Smash Turk Base.
The British cruiser Minerva has
smashed the Turkish base of opera
tions against Egypt at the head of
the Gulf OF Akabah. The Turkish am.
bassador in London has as yet made
no arrangements to leave and the en-
bassy still maintains a conciliatory at
titude.
The closing of the North Sea to all
shipping except that which places It,
self under the protection of the Brit
ish fleet, is recognized as the first
stroke of Admiral Baron Fisher, the
new first sea lord of the admiralty,
and as n of the most important
events of the war.
All cargoes destined for German or
Austrian consumption must now run
the gauntlet Of British inspection in
the English channel, the Straits of Gil
braltar or the Suez Canal.
The making of the North Sea a
military lea already has brought ad-
verse comments from Germany. The
Cologne Gazette claims that Great
Britain virtually has proclaimed a
blockade of the North Sea which its
fleets will be unable to enforce.
