KEEP MONEY AT HOME GET ANOTHER CHANCE AT IT
 URGES COTTON MAN.
Says January Campaign Should be Greatest in History of State----Co- operation is Urged in Work.

Keep all the money possible at home and we may get another chance at it. <"
 This is the statement of w. B. Mann, manager of the Marianna Cotton Oil Mill and president of the Arkansas Crushers' Associa tion, who is the Lee County boos- ter for the profitable farming campaigns of both the Little Rock and Memphis com mittees.
 MT. Mann says that everyone should cooperate in this cam paign and that January, the month for the speakers to tour Arkansas, will be one of the most profitable in the history of the State. Mr. Mann. although in a county in the Memphis district. is urging attendance at all meet ings and is doing much to aid the farming work. He is a cotton man who sees more money if the farmer feeds himself than if he grows one crop. and realizes that the business of the last year may intoxicate both the farmer and business man.
 l deem it pertinent at this time to call the attention of our business men and farmers. :"

Broadcast Seeders in II and 14 feet, Low Spread Manure Spreaders, in fact any imple- ment the Rice farmer needs for raising and harvesting his rice These implements were all bought last June before the big advance in material and my prices are exceptionally low.
 Without any intention of inter fering with your local dealers I want the trade which they can not supply and ask the farmers to phone or write me, and be certain to call on me at my new Stand on Second and College Streets, Stuttgart, Ark.
 With best wishes for a pros porous New Year,

AS the year 1916 draws to a close and it's records of achieve. ment are made up. there will be no institution in a position to make a better showing than the Southern Rice Growers associa- tion. During a brief period of five years this organization has attained a commanding position and acquired an influence that has stabilized the rice market and enabled the producer to sell his crops under favorable condi tions. But it was in 1916 that the association did it's best work. In the face of an tain and somewhat demorallzed market it has succeeded in maintaining quotations at fair and profta- ble level despite the fact that the crop 1t was called upon to look af- ter was more than 3.0O0,000 bags larger than it's predecessor. The fight was hard one. Rice grow CTS who are not members of the association sold a great deal of rice at prices that were below the association $ minimum. and spectators who made speciality

SdIQ MI. Asiuiihs lo SOiltC VT oifS conditionS existing, following our most extraordinary season which We have just pass ed: that we may be more able to concentrate our efforts and per petuate such conditions as are beneficial. remove or remedy those conditions that are harm. ful etc.
 We all know that our general conditions are extremely danger ous. inflated and pivotal, and that 1t depends entirely upon our acts the coming season as to whether the passing season was a substantial success or will prove disaster in the end. If by our success last season we are made an extravagant, specula tive people, our season that looks so prosperous will prove indeed a great disaster. To speculate that conditions through another season will be so arranged as to give us the best crops. high prices, ideal weather for grow and gathering, is an unreasona- ble expectation. Our Heavenly Father has never delivered a blessing until by some act of our own we were made ready to re- ceive 1t. His blessings are only a sanction of our cooperation with natures law; and we are re- warded or repr.manded just as our acts warrant The failure 10 grow a crop can justly be charg ed to a non- compliance with a failure to cooperate with the laws of nature; for instance, note conditions existing when we en tered the past, most prosperous year. We have been whipped into line of economics and agriculture principles by diversity; we had been made to realize that to grow a big crop economically, and to have hand and influence in the control of making and the cost of the crops were the prime factors in pronounced and substantial prosperity.
 We all know that we could not count on our influence in the matter of market conditions or the supply or demand; but we could and did lower the cost of production. After we found out that we were interested only in the difference in the cost of pro- duction and the amount realized from it's crop-the profits-it didn't prove so hard to lower our production cost.
 No crop can be a money -mak- ing crop unless it shows up a revenue in excess of the money disbursed in the making of the crop. And unless it has the other crops to back it up and make the money stick, it is my experience that no one crop can sell high to bring sufficient means to purchase all the other crops necessary for your living at home while you are producing this one crop. We made this last crop of cotton with corn and meat of our own raising, and be cause we raised our corn, hogs, peas, etc., our debts were small CT. Our debts being smaller. we were encouraged to work our crops more earnestly. and, in the the land on which we grew our corn, hogs and peas

cannot fail to produce a big crop

cannot fail to produce a big crop next season.
 All the teachings and rules being taught and demonstrated today are accumulative in their good effects, and the man who does not take advantage of his opportu nity is working against himself. For instance. to pre- pare your land by early deep blowing is a guarantee alike against drought and wet seasons inasmuch as it serves as a reser- voir in day season from which to draw moisture when needed, and it serves equally as we'll for a subd rainage during a wet sea son. To grow crop aSsuredly one must know how to conserve the moisture. When we contro- vert ary of natures laws, we must just that certainly pay for 1t. What farmers are there among us who have not gone cotton mad and defed all the laws that have helped the past season? We have not enough corn and hay to make our next crop. We have no peas or corn land on which to plant cotton. We have done no fall blowing. We have spent our cot ton money for second. hand auto mobiles. old horses and mules, and thirg gs that are an expense rather than profit producers. A good portion of the money receiv ed for wages, cotton picking, etc, as fast as we reGeieved it and the prosperity over which we were so much enthused, has passed over and left us with the essentials of life (that we have to buy) very high indeed. AS a result, we are buyers and not sellers Eighty per cent of us have nothing to sell. After the poor crop and the past values of the 1914 season. we had ho trou- ble in convincing the people that for concentrative efforts was at hand; that every advantage and resource must be conserved. And from those efforts sprang forth our good, seeming profit, able crop of 1915.
 We have a more difficult and critical task confronting us now. It is our job to convince the peo- pie with fuil stomachs that their
 uOoSS LII kJlOCCuuI IuCdA SVdi |. ation, that they are going through an epochal. This season of apparent plenty proclaims each arbiter of his own destiny. Those who have conserved their resources and have we'll laid plans for next season will sue ceed. Those who have neglected the golden opportunity are the ores whom we must help before they get to the bottom. The peo pie must be enthused and stimu- lated. There is much that can be done to help. The townspeople must convert their yards and waste places into productive gardens. Spade them up and plant gardens. and sell all the vegetables that you don't use.

EEL DIABLO" ARTILLERY CHIEF UNDER VILLA
 NOW IN |. s. ARMY

FORT SHERIDAN, H., Oct. 18.- Discovery was made by Col. James A. Ryan that there is a student officer in he training camp here who prefers to become even lienutenant in the United States Army rather than be a general in the legions Of Pancho Villa Of Mexico.
 This man was the Mexican chiefs commander Of artillery in 1919 and 1914 and participated in many engage ments. where his bravery won him the title Of "El Diablo." Colonel Ryan. in compliance with an order concern ing the publication of candidates names. refuses to divulge the mans right name.
 "El Diablo" is a graduate of Wash !ngten University, St. Louis, and is 31 years old He was in the automo- pile business in Fl Paso in 1912 when Villa ordered him 10 build an armor- ed car. Villa was 80 pleased that he asked "El Diablo" 10 take charge of his motor transports. The latter agreed and later took command of Villas artillery, engaging in battles at Oiinaga and Juarez.
