\ Bank Account.

The Extens on Division of the Uni yersity of Arkansas has a sincere wish that every farmer in this old state may open the New Year With 8 bank account. no matter how small. The Extension forces of the state and the Department of Agriculture arc working hard to help the farmers make money and they are honest in the belief that bank is better than |: sock or a dish in the cupboard for the savings We want the farmers,
 the small farmers, the forty acrs farmers. the renters and the share croppers to get on friendly relations with the bankers and establish confi- dence and d., business with them. The bankers and the county agents are ;.hoG; the best advisers the farmers cf Arkansas can have for the year p 1ote. Try them both.

Shelter for Tools.

Rust wears out more farm tools than use. A good blow or cultivator shcnld not be left out in the rains aly this winter. Some authorities sa, that the lack of shelter of farm tools costs twenty per cent of their value. In other words, the life of a blow Or a mower or other farm implement is shortened twenty per cent through unnecessary exposure. It takes only a few boards and some trash or straw or hay or fodder to keep tools dry. Why not start the new year by getting all the farm tools under shelter be- fore January 5? Then during Jan uary is the exact time to get all tools in order for spring, the plcws sharp ened, woodwork painted, broken bolts replaced, harness mended-ready for spring work.

PROGRESSIVE WILTON.

While in the little town of Wilton, Ark. Saturday, town whose pcpula- tion scarcely exceeds 400 souls, we found concrete walks, graveled streets and good roads; splendid stocks of goods and an enterprising people. Everything was opt !mistic; fortunes were being looked forward to by the possibility of a gush hg well soon, and many ether things to numerous to mention, were seen and heard.
 All this, despite the fact that the section of which we write, was visit ed by many destructive overfows, ces- troying thousands of dollars in fine crops during the year.
 Does tn S kind of condition confron: Murfreesboro? No! Why?
 Here's the reason:
 When the war came on we all went to sleep--we began to talk hard times. Hard times came. The merchants would buy no goods-theW become Respondent and the community caught the fever.
 The newspapers, the merchants greatest medium through which they can carry their weekly messages to the buying public, but in which the, failed to advertise, did all they could 10 keep up live. go forward spirit, and all to no avail.
 Now when we want suit of cloth es-well. what is the matter with Mur -Murfresboro Messenger.

THE NEW YEAR.

We should approach the dut- ies of the New Year with ener- gy, courage and determination. Life is duty, and duty should be the keynote of our most earnest endeavors at all times. You have faced and fought out the battles of 1915, in many res poets, the most trying and the most disastrous to the world at large in history, yet our own favored people with courage and energy have made it a year of progress and have emerged victoriously. With a world in ;umult our own country has re- mained at peace. Our indust- ries have expanded and busl- ness has made steady progress. Prices have been maintained and enlarged for farm products and the live at home idea has
 taken firm root. If followed up. it will mark milestone in the progress to a newer and a greater prosperity. At the be- ginning of the New Year we should arrange to follow up the success to a complete and per manent victory that will con- rinuc through all the years.

Preparedness.

Much is being said now about pre- paredness against war in the way of more ships and a larger army. The great majority of American people are with President Wilson in his politics. But have we thought of the great in- security of Arkansas and of our un- paredness n the way of food and feed? What about our flour supply? What about our beef and pork supply! What about our butter and egg ana poultry supply? Even this year few realize that Arkansas has not grown half enough of the above articles to supply her own people. If war were to be declared against us, could Ark ansas really feed herself, feed and maintain her livestock, suppc,rt her schools, churches, shops and factor ies? If beef and pork were to be treb- led in price how many farmers would be able to have beef and pork to sci. and yet plenty to eat? If cotton were to drop to six cents or could net be sold could Arkansas yet feed herself and be happy? The farmer in Am erica who does not play safe this year and for the next ten years in the way of growing bis own food and feec stuffs is not patriotic citizen. If all trains were to stop running into, Ar kansas for month there would be starvation for many.

r recommendation?

Every town in this imnedl- ate section is secretly or open Iy planning to be the metron- oils of the new oil field, and there is persistent undercur- rent to the effect that a gusher is expected and impending. It never is a good idea to count chickens before they hatch, but a we'll is going deeper and deeper and we all believe the oil is somewhere below us. We hope all our towns realize on the metropolitan idea. Ash down put in her bid for the me- tropolis when she began to provide the facilities, and is still providing them. If some thing big does happen she may be counted upon to get in on 1t. Of course she doesn't expect to hog the whole works, but will bear watching.

GETTING SEED READY
All Planting Seed Should be Selected
 As Soon As Possible.

Fayetteville, Dec. 30.-(Special.-- January is the month for all thrifty farmers to see about their seed sup ply of corn and cotton. Select the ears from the crib if they were not se- lected from the field in September. Line them up and select and discard, until the ears just suit ycM. Then take out six grains from each ear and test for germination. If you don't know how ask your county agent or no county agent write the college of Ag- riculture at Fayetteville. When the test comes out we'll, take off tips Aand butts and shell the ear by hand (for the small farm) and hang up in sacks all ready for the planting. Test the cottcn seed for germination as that IS even more important in Arkansas than to test corn for germination. See that your seed supply is not hating, test carefully and put up in small pill es and have ready flor planting. Then figure on the sorghum seed, the gar den seed, seed potatoes and seed Of everyth ng to be grown. Don't wait until planting time. The Extension Division of the College of Agriculture, cooperating with the U. s. Depart ment of Agriculture with it's force of almost seventy-five men is anxious 70 enlist hundred thousand farmers in- to the campaign fer preparedness" for a safe crop, a big crop, a profitable crop, of corn and cotton and all other things that grow on Arkansas farms.

DRY ARKANSAS.

Today is the first day in the history of Arkansas as a state that it has been dry all over. No whiskey except the bootleg yariety may be bought or sold legally within our borders. Like all laws, it will be violated to some extent. The extent of it's enforcement will depend upon the diligence of the officers and the support of the citizens. The law can be enforced and should be to the very last de- tail. It is law, whose enfor- cement will improve the social, civil, moral, healthful and fin ancial condition of the people of the entire state. What bet ter recommendation?

HENRY FORD TO
 LEAD FIGHT ON PREPAREDNESS
Detroit Pacificist Believes Peace Seed Falls Upon
 Good Ground.

New York, Jan. 3.-Henry Ford re- turned to Detroit tonight to complete plans fer an active political propa- oanda against national preparedness. Whether MT. Ford will become per sonally active in fight against Pres ident Wilson or merely furnish funds to carry along the propaganda has yet to be determined.
 In final public interview, MT. Ford gave broad hint as to his plans, re- iterating that his peace seed has fall en upon good ground in Europe and results may be expected later.
 It is known from friends with whom Mir. Ford talked privately dur ing his two days stay in New York that he feels with his European peace movement under way he should turn his attention to what he believes will avert war involving the United States. That is the meaning of his reiterated reference today to the fact that the people are responsible for officials who can be twisted into favoring pre- paredness. He is now considering 3 plan under which he believes the pub- lie sentiment in favor of preparedness may be changed

 from Denmark to the Pittsburgh dispatch. All lines for passengers have been stopped on account of the mines, so one must go through Sweden by rail and then cross the North sea at Helsingborg. If you go at night the trains are taken. over on a ferry, one carload at time. As the ride is 16 hours lshg we stopped all night at Gpthenburg, the great Swedish seaport town and second largest town in Swe- den. It Is a great, bleak sort of a place. not interesting, but evidently progressive, for 1t is the first place in Europe where I have ever seen any extensive building going on, and large nousea were going up everywhere. In1s town is where the great Gothen- burg system of controlling the liquor frafic first sprang from. expected to see 2 very model place, but, alas! we met six drunken men in three squares. Perhaps they were only nailors of duty.
 The first thing we saw when he landed in Denmark was the Kronberg castle where, Hamlet lived. It is a wonderful old place, standing right on the sea. The people around there say that on dark and moonless nights the lghost of Hamlet's father comes out and stands on the ramparts. and waves 1is long white-robcd arms.
 The ride from Helsingborg to Co- Denhagen takes about an hour and on the way is Fredriksborg castle, where Queen Alexandra of England stays when she IS in Denmark. Her suite of rooms is shown to the public when She is not in Copenhagen. Denmark II q country of palaces and the Rosen- borg and Amalienborg are among the most beautiful
