If You Must Drink

To a married man. who can not get along without drinks, the following is the solution of the bondage of the habit:
 First. Start a saloon in your own home.
 Second. Be your own custom CT. You will have no license to pay. Give your wife two dol lars to buy you two gallons of whiskey. and remember that there are sixty drinks in the one gallon.
 Third. Buy your drinks from no one but your wife, and by the time the first gallon is gone you will have $8 to put in the bank and $2 to start business again. Fourth. Should you live ten years and continue to buy booze from her and then die with snakes in your boots she will have money to bury you decent ly educate your children, buy a house and lot. marry a decent man and quit thinking about you. - Texarkanian.

THE Monroe County farmers who voted the SIS, 900 per year road tax on the tax payers of the county for 1915 and 1916 could redeem their folly if they would ask the Legislature to pass a special act authorizing the formation of special districts to sell bonds and build real rock roads on the contract business basis. Both members of the law making bodies from this county would be only too glad to in- troduce such a measure if Mon- roe County farmers would but ask it. In as much as the farm CTS are the ones who are suffer ing most from the miserable conditions of our loblolly roads they should act first.

CHAMPION CORN RAISER
An Ohio Boy Who Won Trip to Washington and New York in Corn Raising Contest
 Writes of His
 Trip

Hilliard, Ohio, Jan. 10, 1915. Dear MT. Folsom:
 l am just little late writing and telling you of my trip. It
 was certainly a fine trip for any
 boy or girl to take.
 The 1914 Buckeye Corn Special tour advertised the fertility of
 Ohio soil and the ability of our
 boys and girls. The citizens of Washington. Philadelphia and New York were made to realize
 the truth of the party's slogan ''The Rainbow Comes Down in Ohio" We were gone five days, four of which were spent sight seeing and one coming home. Left Columbus 2:40 D. m. arrived at Pittsburg 2 o'clock. The people of that great city gave us twenty barrels of apples while our
 Special train stopped there 20 minutes. We then started for Washington, arriving there at 5:45 a. m. on Tuesday. March ed to the Metropolitan Hotel
 for breakfast then we took a , tour through the city in auto . mobiles. In the afternoon we went to Washington Monument
 which is 555 fit. high and 55 fit. square at the base. Three of | us boys walked up to the top. They have elevator service but
 we wanted to walk which took us twenty minutes to do and fifteen to come down. We then
 took in the different buildings,
 and later a boat trip down the
 Potomac to Washington's home
 which was a grand trip. That
 night we took in Kieths Theater.
 Wednesday was most sight see ing. In the evening at the

retary of State, Wm. J. Bryan, caught the spirit of the occasion and delivered one of his match less addresses to our party. Wednesday night at II o'clock we started for Philadelphia. Philadelphia is the city of brotherly love, and that was proven to the farm boys and and girls of Ohio. On Thurs day evening the party was ban quoted and the Mayor addressed us at the Bellevue Stratford Hotel, and we also went to the Independence Hall where the Declaration of Independence was signed. Next morning we awoke in New York City. Eat break at Martinique Hotel where many mlllionaire's eat. We had the same menu they did. We then walked down Wall Street which is the financial business center of the United States. We took a seven mile ride under ground and three miles on elevated track which carried us to the Breny Zoo where there Is the largest collection of animals in the world.
 Another long elevated and subway ride carried the party down to the city hall, there the party was accorded official wei. come to the city by Mayor John Purrey Mitchell-then a thirty. five mile boat trip tour of the harbor was enjoyed. Brooklin Bridge, Statue of Liberty and Grants Tomb and the Ellis Emi grafton Island were passed. II have been on the Atlantic Ocean, can be the truthful boast of every member of the party for the trip was purposly planed to gratify that very de sire.
 l A trip to t h e Hippodron proved the grand climax of oul trip. At l2 D. m. we started fol our homeward trip.

CAN you get this? The main obstacle always in the building of permanent roads, is the ob- jections and hindrances piled up by those who would be benefited the most and who would pay the least in the buying of the roads. The big land owners who grab up hundreds and thousands of acres of land and hold it year after year until the
 farmers open up and develope the country in true pioneer fashion. are not wanting any bonded in- debtedness to build roads with.
 They figure that any old road
The Brinkley argus., 1915-01-15

They figure that any old road and loblolly of mud is good enough for the farmers who with their families, are doing the actual work of opening up the lands of the county. The strange part of it all is, that the farmers themselves are the ones, who blocking the building of permanent roads. There is only ONE way to get roads and
 that is to get lem like a railroad
 gets theirs, i. e. buy 'em. Have
 it built in the same business like
 way a railroad is built. There's
 only ONE way to get the money
 to do this and that is by selling 
 bonds just as is done in every
 other state in America and in a
 number of counties in Arkansas
 now. Building dirt roads in
 Monroe County is just as foolish
 as buying paper sole shoes, they
 look we'll and feel all right un- til the water strikes them and it's "all off then" The farmers are going to wake up some day and when they do they are go- ling to say something.

A VERY interesting and unique brief for consideration before the Court of Conscience" has been prepared and sent out by Judge Eugene Lankford of DeValls Bluff. Judge Lankford has attracted considerable at- tention by his stand in favor of certain radical changes in the manner and methods of Criminal Court practice and this brief presents fully and graphically his positions. It will prove of interest to every citizen and gratifying to all when the re- forms he advocates are accom- plished.

THE LOGIC OF WAR
BY HAROLD ATKINSON

Thou shalt dOno murder. - The Mosaic Law.
 'I bring peace and not a sword. "-The Man of Galilee.
 And yet after nearly two thou sand years of so called Christi anity the so called civalized and enlightened nations of Europe are flyin at one another's throats and committing wholesale legal ized" murder on a scale unparal- l Ielled in in the history of the world.
 1 Apart from destruction. deg radiation, suffering. want and de- population which war leaves in its trail, where does the logic come in? Will any of the nations now engaged in this titanic con- flict benefit when the war is over? No, a thousand times no. The late Dr. Chalmers of New Guinea once related conversa- tion he had with a chief of a cannibal tribe that was noted for its man-eating proclivites. The Doctor pointed out to him the horrors of cannilbalism. The chief replied: Man is the best fed animal. We only eat the men we kill in war with neighboring tribes. You white men go to war, don't you?' Sometimes, " replied the Doctor. And you kill men don't you?" When necessary, yes" answered the Doctor. And what do you do with the bodies?' asked the chief. We bury them,' said the Doctor. "Ugh!" ejaculateo the chief, Whats the use o1 killing them?"
 German or Prussian militarisn may to a certain extent be the indirect cause of the war, but 1T my opinion, all the fighting na tions are more or less to blame Pistol toting is a felony in sev eral states in this country. If man is in the habit of carrying pistol, when he gets into a scral he is going to use it and a killing is generally the result. So it il with the European nations today They have each and every one o. them been preparing for war they have toted not pistols, bu siege guns, artillery, dread noughts and other deadly instru ments of warfare. and the inevi table happened. Commercial
 jealousy and greed are also i'm portant factors in the trouble The disarmament of nations universal free trade and worlt wide promulgation of the religion ) of the Brotherhood of Man as laid down by that Man of Gal flee nineteen hundred years ag are the only antidodes of War but the millennium is not yet.

NEW COUNTY ADOPTION OF
 SCHOOL BOOKS
 The new school books recently adopted for this county by the County Textbook Board will be put on sale just as soon as pos sible. A list of the adopted books has already been publish ed in each of the county papers.
 The plan for introducing the new book is very simple and in- expensive. As classes are ready for promotion each pupil may exchange his old books for new ones by paying the exchange price. The period of exchange lasts for one year after the date of adoption. The law requires that printed lists, showing the prices of the newly adopted books be distributed to the teachers and pupils of the coun- ty. This will be done at once.
 would advise teachers who have classes now ready for pro- motion to delay until the new books are put on sale at the local bookstores and until a tentative course of study and a list of the prices of the new books are issued from this office.

In batting slump. Many arguments
[ have been started on clubs because
one player, who has been I'm a batting
slump, hopes 70 get out of it by using
the club of a player who is whaling
the bah at a terrific clip.
Managers do not object TO the num-
Der of bats each man has. The club
IS willing to buy a player all the sticks
he can carry as long as he hits the
ball Each season the men purchase
new bats The old ones remain in the
club and player will often search
among them for a club which he re-
members served him in good stead
while he was I'm a batting streak.
Some players have both heavy and
light bats. When they find they are
swinging late at the ball they change
to the light one. When they sud
denly discover they are swinging too
soon they change again. They will do
this several times year until they
set their stride
