A Thought For Today

If there were peace in the minds of all there would be nc war on the outside. and if there were love in the hearts of all there would be peace in the mind. War, strife. dissention, come of hate, and if men loved their neighbors as themselves, the butchery and slaughter, the blood and carnage. the anguish and suffering resultant from the barbarism and savagery of war would be known.
 The only legitimate warfare, the only warfare recognized by the God of battles" is the warfare against evil, against sin, and it's inevitable results-suffer- ing and sorrow. Yea, the war fare against warfare. The work of bringing about universal peace is begun.

The meeting of the club was well attended by farmers and business men Friday night. The regular program was held over and the evening was given to MT. E. N. Hopkins. of the Ark sas Fruit and Farms, Mir. G. C.. Barnett. district agent of the Farmers Demonstration Work. and Mir. Lindley. of the Sharwin Williams Paint Go.
 Mir. Hopkins spoke on Coopera- tiOn between farmers and busi- ness men and its advantages to both. Mir. Barnett's talk on diversifcation was timely one, and he urged the growing of crops to fill our home needs, and impressed the folly of raising cotton to buy products which our land is we'll fitted for and which we can grow as economi- cally as anywhere. Mir. Lindly emphasized the coming use of the spray pump to control the insects which play such havoc in our fields and orchards. He said and proved that we cannot afford not to spray because it willraise the quality of our fruit to such an extent that all costs will pay big dividends on the invest ment.
 The next meeting of the club will be Friday evening. May 2l. Subject. Peanuts. their Culture, and as a Food for Stock.

Check Book Accounting

Farmers who do most of their business by check can, with little effort, keep a very satis- factory account of the total farm receipts and expenses. Two things are essential for the success of this method:
 First. All money received from any source, whether in cash or by check, should be de- posited in the bank. By doing this the record of deposits will give the entire farm income. Most important of all, it insures against any moneys being spent without check or stub to show for it.
 Second. When drawing checks care should be used to state for what purpose drawn. In this way the check stub will give an itemized account of the farm expenditures.
 Under this system, checks for personal use are drawn in the same way as for any other pur- pose. At times the purchase of minor articles for farm use will require cash when the amount is so small that 1t is not desirable to use check: therefore, to have an exact record a memorandum of the farm items which are paid out of the money checked out for personal use is needed. That is. these items should be charged to the farm. but they are really paid out of the pocket money which is charged on the check book to the personal ac- count.
 A memorandum of produce exchanged for groceries is also necessary, as there is no cash transaction in such cases.
 In using this system it is bet ter to have a large book of checks, which. if the farm busi- ness is of moderate size, the banker will gladly furnish with the checks numbered and the owners name printed on them. A check book of this kind will generally last for a year, thus the advantage of having all of the accounts in one book. This check book system as an aid to keeping financial ac- counts on the farm is very sim pie and will prove valuable to a large number of men whose business is adapted to it.

Potlicker

Many people have beer amused, no doubt, by the numer. ous and varied views on potlick CT which were evoked by the New York Herald's comment upon the praise of this product of the South in these columns, and it's impassioned query, What in the world is pot. licker"
 Many recipes. or receipts. " as they are called in North Caro- lima. have been forthcoming, most of them good. The South has rallied nobly in praise of potlicker and many tributes to it's dietetic value have been given, but the North knows nothing about it. except where soiourners from the South have told the good tidings amoug their neighbors.
 Why should not great and lasting good result from the in- teresting discussion which has been evoked? People are still complaining at the high cost of living. many are still finding it difficult to feed large families. Why would not the general in- troduction of potlicker in the North prove of lasting economic value to it's teeming millions?
 Instead of enjoying more or less hilarity at the expense of the potlicker-lo loving South, why does not the Herald lay before it's readers the dozen or more receipts" for this civilizing brew and advise it's readers to go as far as they like in the en- joyment of it.
 Potlicker is pleasing to the palate. it is strictly wholesome, it is unrivaled for girls com plexion, it gives strength and character to boys. it is easily made and there is absolutely no waste and, above all. it is cheap.
 Ethically. potlicker purifies the heart and conscience, politi- cally it imparts unflagging faith in the principles of an imper- ishable and invincible democracy it exalts and enobles ones pa triotism and tends to righteous ness and salvation.
 It seems to us that a journal of service like the Herald would find in the potlicker situation an opportunity of surpassing use- fulneSs.

 "The perfectly asinine statement" he said, "has been made that we eoult raise 1,000,0 900 men between sunrise and sunset. This assembly of you men here in camp is an answer to that sort of foolishness.
 q hope that when you men go away from here you will use your influence as good American citizens, in contrast to the ignorant masses, by whom you must not be influenced, to help secure sane legislation for an adequate arma- ment.
