To The Public:
The time is approaching to give
thought to bringiA; Christmast cheer

abroad.
Arrangements have been perfected
whereby the Christmas mail to the
American iExpeditionary Forces in
Europe is to be delivered by Christ

operation on the part of the public it
will be impossible to accomplish this
result
The three essential respects in
which the public can aid in assuring
happy Christmas at the front are
Mail early, address intelligently, and
pack securely. For this reason it IS
urgently requested that all persons
! having Christmas mail for the SOL
diers and sailors and the civilian un'
! it's attached to the army in Europe
observe closely the following direc-
| tions:
/. Mails to reach the soldiers IN
J France by Christmas morning must
be posted not later than November
Is.
2. Every package must bear con-
spicuously the words christmas

person for whom it is intended, anc,

3. Every parcel must be so packed
and wrapped as to admit Of easy IN

COTTON GROWING ALONE
 IS NOT PROFITABLE

cotton growing as a "part" of a system of farming is both a safe and sound business proposition for the southern farmer. But cotton grow ing as business by itself, and within itself, Is not only improbable. but under the present circumstances, is financial suicide to the grower. and a menace to the nation To attempt to grow cotton except in connection with the production, of grain, hay and forage, and live stock. and all the many products that are used in the home and on the farmers~ table, all of which will thrive in the South. is not only an uneconomical proposition. and bad piece of business, but it is certain to result in disaster Stop and think about this: The produc- ton of one crop as the main support of a people has signally failed in all sections of the United States. Indeed 1t IS almost an agricultural impossi- blllty, even under favorable condi- tions. It has failed in the wheat sec tlons, the tobacco sections, the rice sections, the cane sections, and, of course in the cotton section.
 Some of the basic reasons why the one-crop practice has failed in the south is as follows: Decreased soil fertility, resulting in a decidedly re- duced yield per acre, and consequent y, reduced income from the labor expended. The continuous growing of one crop on the same land, in creases damage from insect pests and plant diseases.
 The growing of one crop to pay for Iall farm and household supplies pur- chased on credit, is not only uneco- nomical, but very poor business pol icy. To be successful the one-crop farmer must not only produce good crops, but sell them at a good price, combination hard to get. Unfavor- able seasons with poor crop, and high prices, or favorable seasons with a good crop and low prices, equally mean failure. The one-crop farmer is at the mercy of the seasons, all his eggs are in one basket. And, at the present time, he is at the mercy of the disturbed economic conditions, and unless he changes and changes rapid ly, nothing short of disaster awaits him.
 The remedy: Gut the cotton acre. age Diversity; grow feed and food crops, and above all, keep out of debt. What must be done must be done now
 The combined efforts of everybody, both old and young, will be required to put this thing through. It is a patriotic duty.

DIR. J. R. JEWELL ELECTED
 PRESIDENT CONWAY NORMAL

Little Rock, April 18.-Dr. J. R. Jewell, dean of the department of education of the University of Ar kansas, was yesterday afternoon elected president of the State Normal at Conway, to succeed J. J. Doyne, re- signed. Dr. Jewell has been in the University five years, coming from one of the Kansas state normals, and had previously been in Louisiana. The position pays $3,000 a year, and he recently refused $4,500 and $6,000 positions at Gary, Ind, and in Ne braska, saying that he is not a super intendent, but a normal instructor and prefers to stick to his calling
 In accepting the resignation of President Doyne, the board adopted strong resolutions of commendation for 'the services of a strong and efficient school executive" and ex- pressing the fullest confidence in his honesty and integrity and the "high- est esteem, love and respect for him both as a man and an eminent edu- cator."
