BRIGHTER LIGHTS

The significant phrase so often used when dishonesty is heard, "Turn on the light" has more meaning for us as farmers than would at first appear. The politician may be contented and thrive better in darkness or at least the absence of information, but farm ing to be successful and profitable must be under light and with definite information. The time has come for more information, for more light and for more knowledge in farming.
 We as farmers seldom do anything in our business of farming that we should wish to keep concealed. Farm ing is not business that tempts us to act dishonestly or to contrive to take advantage of our fellow man. We need no admonition to turn on the light" to show any crooked dealing. What we need is the light of knowl- edge that will make us more efficient.
 The average farm home is vry poorly lighted. It is not possible to turn on" the bright light in some farm homes, because the facilities for illumination are inadequate. In such homes lights are needed to encourage reading, accounting, planning and learning.
 There are many farms today pro- ducing poor returns because of poor lights in the home. The family can not read fiuently after the days work when the mind should be active. As a result information is inadequate, plans unsatisfactory, ideals low.
 In order that you and your family may use at least an hour or two of each long winter night reading and studying how to make the farm more profitable, home life more pleasant and family unity more perfect, see that there are sufficient lights in your hom. "Turn on the light" to increase your efficiency and that of your fam fly. Farm and Ranch.

Before we begin the single term of four years for governor it might be we'll to get better class of men in the office. The trouble has been that the people are not giving attntion enough to the kind of material they are putting in the governors office, nor to the work they do after they get there. The voters are not giving thought enough to their public ser wants. We have men in office some times who might be continued for sev- eral terms, and others who would be better let out before half their term expires. Arkansas owes more to her self than to politicians, even if they are in office for one term.-Hope Ga zette.

SHOP AT HOME.

It is inexplicable why some people think they must go out of town to sbop during the holiday season. There are myriads of reasons why you should do vour Christmas shopping in your home town. Here are some powerful ones.
 In town you know with whom you are dealing.
 If you are not suited you can make ready exchange.
 You will save time car fare and shoe leather.
 And you can buy just as cheaply, if not cheaper.

Johnnie had a little mule, it's hoofs were hard as rock. He used to hitch the donkey up and drive around the block. One day the little mule he stopped, and would not move a shoe, so Johnny got his pocket knife and stuck the mule few.

 The war is a great teacher of econ- omy. It has taught new uses for many of the old plants that heretofore have been regarded as of little value. The sunflower is now used as food for man and beast, and also the leaves of the blackberry and raspberry plants.

LAUGHS, LYRICS AND LOGIC
 By Clio Harper.

Caleb Corntossel was running for the the Legislature, and his opponent was charging that back in 1905, when Caleb was in the Senate, he was a great boodler.
 Caleb was defending his record, and in the course of his speech said:
 Friends, it has been charged that l accepted graft while I was in the Legislature. l want to say here and now, in refutation of that vile calum- ny, that outside of the salary I drew, I boodled very little."
 Trice Looney was married some where in Arkansas last week. It would be interesting to know what caused it the other two times.
 Steve says in the Fort Smith Times Record, "Just saunter down Garrison Avenue on Saturday night and see the automobiles and the crowds in the stores" Can't you keep the automo- piles out of the stores, Steve?
 A Little Rock divine, hearing an ac quaintance using very violent and highly colored language one day, stopped to reprove him,-didn't he know it was very wrong to curse? "Now, look here, parson," he retort ed, "you pray great deal, and I cuss a great deal, but God knows neither one of us mean anything by it."
 Old Saws With Political Teeth
 There's many slip between the an nouncement and the oath of office.
 A vote in the ballot-box is worth dozen on the campaign dope-sheet.
 The man who votes and runs away will bear watching.
 The truth itself is not believed when some counties report it.
 He who hesitates might we'll have quit at first.
 When in doubt, vote for the other fellow.
 When factions fall out, the voter will have a chance.
 When graft comes in at the door, honor flies out the window.
 Some candidates, crushed to earth, never know when to quit rising again.
 A vote in time is worth a thousand after the polls close.
 It's wise candidate who knows his own friend.
 If at first you don't succeed run, run again.
 A stuffed ballot box should make a fat penitentiary.
 The defeated candidate finds it darkest just before dawn.
 When the boss is away, the common people may do as they please.
 Honesty is the best policy, but the premiums are often permitted to lapso.
 Ice-bergs sometimes catch voters, but seldom more than once. There's glory in the sunshine
 And crispness in the air, There's dreamy, gleamy something
 All about us everywhere, With the forests clothed in splendor
 Mirrored in the deep'ning haze, The Ozarks are another Eden
 These bright November days. The sumac's red along the fences
 Defies the artists brightest dreams,

JUDGE BUNNELL.

Judge Bunnell is a very welcome man in Fairbanks and it really appears as if at last Fairbanks has been oiven Judge who will look around and see tor himself instead of as his predecessors almost without exception have listened to interested persons in their conduct of the office.

many outsiders rather trivial matters that could be adjusted without any great amount of sound and fury. Also the Socialist party has it's full share of obdurate, stubborn people, "impos- sible" people. very difficult to get along with, and what many would call stupid. predjudiced people also. But with all these evil qualities, with all this densene,s. arrogance, pugnac- ity and stupidity multiply it by the hundred if you p!ease-a they are still the salt of the earth, the only peo- pie in whom there is any hope, 80 far as the abolition of war and the intro!@ duction of permanent peace on earth is concerned.
 Darrow sees one side of the equation but not the other. He wants the coach of progress to travel along the seeialist road, but he he will not personally tail on to the d@ag-rope. He doesn't like his stable mates and wheel horses. So he trots alongside and shouts powerful and incisive words of encouragementto to the toil;rs in the sociialist harness and imagines he is helping to pull.
 Perhaps he is. Who can say that his sens is ineffectusI|? But the crass ma l terialsm of the red card holders impels them to the opinion that unless they actually see the singer in the Socialist harness, he isn't doing any pulling.
 But just the same the testimonial to the Socialist Party from a man like Darrow ia immeasuraoly more rapport ant than if it came from an affiliated worker,' and that is why we can call attention to it.

 We have nothing to say as to whether that is good reason for utilization or not. Darrow thinks it is, and it is what he thinks. not what the rest of us may think. that must be the guide for his conduct. He does not like k. the name, 5a apd says so. And whie they may sound triv- ial as the expression of power full mind, he himself is and must be the judge.
 Men of this kind do now and then come into the party, and then leave it. finding they can not do what they consider th4ir i: work therein And we have neither wish nor desire to keep the harness on any man when it oh fes him, or he !maglnes it does.

A Qlsinterested Spectator,

When all the talk about war and the horrors thereof has been exhausted, when the subject has been raked from top. bottom and both sides, ahead and astern, a-larboard and a-starboard, when millions of "non-combatent" dis putants have sawed and wrang ed and sputtered and mora'ized and busted the other fellows head to ma ke him sese es ,tAse point-it q ] comes back to this-that, when al the froth and scum has been h'own away, what remains is the fact that Socialism and Soci- alism alone must te accepted E! as the last resort, as the final power that will make war impossible.
 Socialism did not do so last August. It was powerless to stop war, not because it had no power, but because it was not powerful enough; which is quite a difference. in the result and in- sufficient power is equiva ent to no power.
 And it is not the Socialists alone who see this. Men who have never been Socialists, in tho sensa of making open and public connection with the Socia ist Party, and working inside of it, see it just the same as those who carry red cards. That is, o1 course, assuming that they are equipped with the average brai1 and reasoning power, ant make use of both, undeterred by ol, prejudices, hobbies and fancies.
 Clarence s. parrow is one o1 this kind of men. A man with 2 most powerful, active and logical mind, untrammeled. with olt prejudices and superstitions. Darrow has never joined tn Socia ist Party. He has said him. self that he cannot work il organization harness. And per haps he cannot. That, # so, is; l matter for himself, individual and terperamenta'.
 But none the less, Darrow ur- ges oth ITS to work for the secur. ing of peace through joining the Socialist Party, as he holds that socialism and socialism a one, by abolishing the economic condit- ions that cause war, can bring permanent peace. But he will not join it himself. He says, quoting from the press report of his address in Brownsville the other nigh: If l can get what |
