MAAr lr MEANS To You.

Next week there will be conducted in Arkansas a Profitable Farming Campaign. The very foundation of business in Arkansas rests upon the success of such a campaign, and it is the duty of everyone, from water boy to governor, to work for its successful continuation.
 The bankers should require the mer- chant to encourage the planter to put in diversified crops, and the jobber and manufacturer should lend his in- f1uence in the same direction. If the retailer will supply the planter who raises something but cotton, and the bank will carry the merchant, and Iet the planter have a bit of money occay sionally to produce his other than cot ton crop, Arkansas will have another glorious fall.
 Cotton must be depended upon for the principal crop, but force the planter to raise enough feed to keep his own stock, and there will be no poverty on the face of the earth-or that part of it that is taken up b. Arkansas when the bleak winds of another winter come

DEATH OF THE OLD YEAR.

DEATH OF THE OLD YEAR. Near midnight and the air blows cold and chill, The embers darken in the grate, while walls the wind; The poor Old Year is broken now and i'll, His thin white locks stream scantfly behind; Upon the hearth he huddles OCT the greying coals. And seems to shrink and shrink as the moments fly, While near him sit an elfish band of Trolls, Watching, waiting there to see the Old Year die. A tongne of flame leaps up to meet a blast of cold, The Old Year lower bows his feeble head, From his staff is loosed his palsied hold And there upon my hearth the Year lies dead

THE NEW YEAR ARRIVES.

Time and Tide Wait for No Man and the first of the year is the bag and baggage of Time. It never ar rives ahead of schedule, and is never late. It is like trains ofthe millennium, and it is usually time for festivity even with the people who see them come like a train passing telegraph poles. The first of the year means a time for the wiping out of all old scores and starting with clean slate.
 Persons who do the rubbing on the slate get as much satisfaction out of it as do those who profit by the clean bill. hence January 1 is always a cheerful and spry youngster. The first of the year means the birth of determinations to go forth and outdo the year which has just closed. It means a new start in the race for fame, fortune and a Ford. The entire world lined up at the mark again Mon day and the race is young and strong All are determined to live better, love better and really and truly be better
 Here's hoping that 1917 will be the year in which no man will fail in his ambition, and no man will falter in his good resolutions.
 Happy New Year!

MERCHANT PRINCE
 VISITS FRIENDS
j. HENRY STEINER, MANAGER OF FURNITURE DEPARTMENT OF CHICAGO, GIVES LITTLE
 ROCK ONCE OVER.

Not that he is short on friends in and about Chicago, but for the princi- pal reason that he is long on his friendship for Little Rock friends, J. Henry Steiner, manager of the furni- ture department of The Fair of Chi cago, spent a portion of the holidays in this city, visiting with O. Lamar Porter, of the Joppa Mattress Com pany, and others.
 J. Henry Stein works for store that is we'll known, likewise well rated, in Chicago, and it has even been heard of as far away as Ham mond, Ind. MT. Steiner's reputtion as a buyer of things that will please the most fastidious customer, reached Ar kansas years ago, when he began to buy, and buy extensively, the mat tresses manufactured by the Jeppa company.
 During his recent stay MT Steiner was driven over the city-not literal ly, but in an automobile, was shown Pulaski county's good roads, the State institutions, and the interior of Little Rocks clubs. He wound up in the presence of reporter for daily pa. per, and eheerfully submitted to an in terview in which he marveled at the rapid growth of Little Rock since his last visit to the city.
 o. Lamar Porter. the man responsi- ble for the annual visit of MT. Steiner to the South, is mighty hunter, and it goes without saying that MT Steiner is believer in the consumption ot game Game wardens might have dis covered something to their interest had they inspected the baggage of MT. Steiner as he was returning to the land of the unloosened wind
 These annual visits of MT. Steiner are great things for all concerned, and all who met the genial gentleman hope that he will continue the custom until the year William Jennings becomes President of these United States.

 o love of minei High forehead, white and smooth as Para's marble! Brown tresses soft as maids to lovers touch! Eyes wherein Iris dwells; breath toxic to my sense
 As sparkling wine! Your voice is warble of ten thousand birds You come, you go, here, thither, every where, An angel, heaven-born to gladden. Earth. Lo-fall you headlong on the dappled sward! What hell of evil grasps you in it's clutch, And changes Day to Night as black
 As Erebus? Dense darkness holds your eyes; Where once they shone with Rain bows varying hues, Now glare they ghastly with the va cant stare
 Of Death. Your lips are circled by livid scroll; An ashen paleness rules your cheeks: Your hands are twisted, clenched; your frame Erst turned to every chord of health, Writhes in convulsion, crushed by De- mon Pain. Your gladstone voice is gone, and in it's stead The gasp, the chuck, the gurgle of the dying life
 Are heard: Then stertorous breathing now a calm And slow awakening to the world again, With piteous whining, like a dog in dole
 
 Where were you,
 Love of mine, When ffends did seem to hold you in their vile embrace?
 Did you feel hurt? Or were you as one in a dreamless sleep? You are the same now as when, hours ago, You seemed a being fresh from God.
 
 We'll, let me kiss Your face, and clasp your hand. To gether we will walk, And talk, and sing and play, and be a part Of Nature in her beauty still Dread Chaos comes again
 To thee, Or the first day of nothingness shall shroud Us both within a common pail.

LIKES LOOKS OF
 THE NEW YEAR

This New Year certainly looks good to me-" stated Henry H Schmuck, manager of the c. E. Re senbaum Machinery Company on Mon day morning, when he had completed several large sales.
 "I think that every business house in Little Rock is in for a good year, and in fact we have already started on it better than any year I ever saw, and l have been in the business for long time"
 The same character of expressions could be heard all the way down the wholesale district, optimism apparent ly being the order of the day.
 the big item in the total safes of the local wholesale dry goods establish ment. The pith of the story lies in the fact that a large per cent of the trade which came to Little Rock in 1916 was new trade, trade wreste1 from an outside competitor The vol ume of business demonstrates the esti mate placed upon the dry goods houses of Little Rock, and the conf dence imposed in them by the trade. It shows that they carried stocks which could compete with the outside, and that it was as good or better.
 Little Rock is proud of it's dry goods establishments. It is proud of it's gro cery houses-which do an annual bus mess greater than all the wholesale groceTs in other sections of Arkansas combined. It is proud of it's produce houses, it's factories of all kinds, it's coffee roasters, machinery and supply houses, hardware establishments. candy stores, and it's brokers. The retailers who buy from these concerns are also proud of them, and like the breakfast food-"There's a Reason"

possible to say how many OF these last
night were in honor Of 1917. There is
one sector, however, where the British
artillery followed the practice adopted
last year Of welcoming January with
salvos against their enemy from guns OF
all caliber. Along this front everywhere
from machine guns to the biggest Of the

clouds scudded over the battle area the
last night Of the old year and its sue
cessor was born in a bowling wind
which caught up and carried away the
thunder of the guns. The grim booming
was swept far beyond the battle line,
until it mingled with the church bell,
summoning the people to prayer in the
war bound villages OF France.

Santa Fe DESTROYS Of Securing
City's Water Supply,

FAIRFAX, Okla, Jan. l.-(Speeial)
If Fairfax is made the terminal for
the Fairfax Owen cutoff of the Santa
Fe, as is expected, it will be partly due
to the fact that the Santa Fe is desir-
ous OF taking advantage of the splen-
did offer made them by this city to
furnish water.
In past years when other cities in
Oklahoma and Kansas have been on
the verge of a water famine and re-
stric,ions were placed on the use OF
water, the supply at Fairfax was mex
haustible.
The Santa Fe has for several years
secured water from the city, when it,
own supply failed, and during 1914
wa,crcd thirty trains daily here in ad.
dition to hauling a large supply from
this point 10 other water stations.
The supply of water is secured from
a deep well in the sheet water OF ths
