things, therefore. enable the farmer to secure greater profits from his cot ton production To increase the cash income on the cotton farm it will be necessary to provide othO sources of cash income and not depend on cot ton by itself. Live stock, and all live stock priducts are now unusually high, and these offer, splendid field for the progressive farmer. That this fact is recognized by farmers in Ar kansas is evidenced by the fact that over 1,500 head of breeding cattle. mostly registered, have been introduc- ed into Arkansas in the last ten months. Cattle. hogs, poultry, mules and horses offer good sources of in- come for the cotton farmer who will use them as a side line to his Ausi. ness of cotton farming.
 New Years Resolutions For Arkansss
 Farmers.
 So much of the success of the farm depends upon the system of manage ment that the College of Agriculture of the University of Arkansas believes that every farmer should start the year 1917 with the following New Years resolutions, not to be broken, but to be lived up to strictly through out thssyear:
 I hereby resolve to grow sufficient corn to do me twelve months.
 I hereby resolve to grow sufficient oats to last twelve months.
 I hereby resolve to grow suff1cient hay to provide amply for my stock for twelve months.
 1 hereby resolve to provide gar den that will furnish, fresh vegetables twelve months in the year.
 l hereby resolve to keep sufficient live stock to furnish milk and butter and meat and lard for the family.
 I hereby resolve to keep sufficient poultry to furnish chiekens and eggs for the family and perhaps few to sell.
 Above all l hereby resolve to so manage my farm this year that at least portion of it will be richer next year than it is this.
 With this creed borne in mind any good cotton grower can feel safe in putting the remainder of his land into cotton because the cost O. production will be less and the profits greater.
 Play safe and start the new year with that system of farm management that will always insure a living re- gardless of the price ot cotton.

DON'T GAMBLE ON
 COTTON FUTURES
Farmers Should Raise Everything Possible to Be Consumed on
 the Place.

Never in the history of the South has 1t been of greater importance that the farmers of the South enter the new year with a determination to ap- ply safe, well established principles of business to their farm manage ment, says w. c. Lassatter, acting di- rector of the Extension Division of the University of Arkansas and U. S. De- partment of Agrieulttve. With the unusual high prices prevailing for corn, oats, hay, flour, meat, lard, butter, eggs, potatoes and all other products no cotton farmer can afford to buy any of them, even with cotton at 20c, when they can just as well be produced at home. This era of high prices for all food and feed products makes 1t imperative that every farmer enter the new year of 1917 with the determination to grow at home everything possible that is to be consumed on the place.
 Cotton, too. is now bringing a high price, but what assurances have we that the price will be high in the fall sof 1917? The man who this spring plants his entire farm to cotton with the expectation of high prices in the fall is gambling just as surely as is the man who deals in cotton futures. Every man should be determined to start the new year right with the de- termination to avoid gambling on 1917 prices. Cotton when produced must eSheld or sold and cannot be con sumed. These other food and feed prod ucts needed on every farm must be consumed and 1t matters little how high the prices go so long as every farmer has produced an abundance of these products for his own use.
 The Successful Farmer Must Apply
 Business Principles
 It Is imperative that the farmer make of himself just as successful a business man as his neighbor in town who sells him the goods and deals in his products. He should bear in mind therefore the following facts with ref erence to good business:
 The profits from a business are in- creased by reducing the cost ofsope- rating the business and by increasing the cash income from the business. Producing at home the corn, oats. hay and other feed stuffs, the meat, lard, milk. butter, eggs and vege- tables needed on the place very materially reduces the cost of making the cotton crop. These

Trap shooting by night has been found perfectly practical at the Pale Face Gun club at Wellington, Mass, where the trap boxes of one range have recently been equipped with two T6O-watt lamps which Illuminate the clay pigeons as they are hurled from the trap. The lamps are installed at each side of the trap, parallel to each other, and thoroughly light up the nrea into which the pigeons are flung to distance of about forty feet from tho trap. It Is claimed that trap shooters are able to make better scores when shooting by this light than by daylight.

 C Parents Believe in Club Work.
 Early in the spring the father of Elsie Davis, little girl living in Poin- sett county, bought 30-pound pig for her at the apparently exhorbitant price of S1O.00. Eleven weeks from the day she received the pig 1t weigh ed 143 pounds at a cost Of about two cents a pound At that time Elsie's father said: II certainly believe. in the pig club work. l have learned more from Elsie during the four months she has belonged to the pig club thansI learned in 30 years of ex- perience.

 1a,oco Club Members. For 1917.
 There is no question but that the boys who belong to the various clubs of the state are learning great deal, enjoy their work. and are receiving larger yields and greater receipts for their efforts than those who do not be- long to the clubs. All Arkansas farm boys between the ages of 10 and IS years should belong.
 Every father and mother interested in the future of boys of the club age should urge them to join a club so that they may compete favorably later on with the boys of the neighborhood who are taking advantage of the in. struction which is being given to them by MT. w. ]. Jernigan and Mir. H. K. Saunders and all of the county agents. "Twelve Thousand Boys in the Boys Clubs of Arkansas For 1917' is the slogan recently adopted by the Extension Division of the University of Arkansas and U. s. Department Of Agriculture.

THREE OF DUTCH STEAMERS ARE SUNK, WHILE. FOUR
 ARE AFLOAT.
CREWS HAVE BEEN LANDED
A Dispatch From The Hague Says That the Report of the Attack Has Caused Consternation
 in Dutch Capital.

London.--A Dutch fleet of seven vessels, sailing from Falmouth, was attacked by German submarines. Three were sunk and four severely damaged. It is reported that the crews of all have been landed.
 The steamers had been released at the special request of the Dutch gov ernment. Three were outward bound from Holland and four were home ward bound. The vessels bore the customary marks and lights and it was believed by the British authori- ties that they sailed under Germany safe conducts. Special private in- structions were received by the cap tains from the Dutch government through an official from the Dutch le- gation at London, who visited the shippers at Falmouth
 The ships were attacked when only a short distance out of Falmouth, which is at the western end of the English channel.
 The German legation at The Hague says Reuter- dispatch, has issued a long explanation, in which it says:
 3sThe date for the safe home coming of Dutch vessels from English ports, while at first was fixed for February 3, was subsequently,, in view of the sit uation in Holland, postponed to Feb ruary and February II. On Febru- ary IA Dutch ship owners were in- formed that their vessels could leave in a group on February 22 or March r.
 For those vessels leaving on Feb. ruary P only relative safety could be guaranteed, but vessels leaving March IF would have an absolute guarantee against submarine attacks, as it would be impossible by February 22 to in- form with certainty all submarine commanders of the concessions made to Holland"
 A dispatch from The Hague says that the report of the attack has caus- ed consternation in the Dutch capital. It is said that the Dutch government had ordered the sailing of the ships, after it's request to Germany for an extension of the safe period for neu- tral ships had been granted. The ships were to sail together on west erly course out of the danger zone.
 It is reported at The Hague that the ships were sunk without an exanl- inatiin of their papers.

Whaf k Uric oAcid j?

Everyone has uric acid in the system, but naturally in small quantities. Ex- cessive amount is caused by eating too much meat and foods that ferment in stomach. The kidneys, being the filters of the blood, are supposed to separate and throw the poisons out of the system. Weak, tired and overworked kidneys fail to do this, hence the uric acid accu- mulates and the urate salts are carried by the blood to the solid tissue structure, causing backache, lumbago, rheuma- tism, dropsy, drowsiness, and tired feeling.
 To overcome the trouble is only 8 matter of toning up the kidneys, and this is best done by a treatment with Anuric, three times a day. Anuric is a recent discovery of Dr. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y., and can be obtained at any drug store.
 Experience taught Doctor Pierce that Anuric is a more powerful agent than lithia in dissolving uric acid, and it is then carried out of the system.
