BETTER FARMING HINTS

Peace and the Food Situation in
 Arkansas
 Peace will not relieve the shortage | of food and the need for increased production for the coming year. Arkansas must carry on the plans already made to take care of herself and furnish her proportionate share of the surplus necessary to feed the new millions that have been added to our food dependents The following are only a few of the things that must be done:
 Better Varieties of Cotton Raised
 Cotton of any length of staple has found a good market the past year, and sold at exceptionally good prices for munitions, but undoubtedly If this price is to be maintained, seed must now be secured for good staple varieties. The shortage of wool means that large quantities of cotton will continue to be used but the spinners will not want the short mon- grel kind. Don't be disappointed Secure seed of the better varieties In time.
 Must increase Hog Production
 The ten per cent increase in hog production must be carried out, and this is our share figured on a short corn crop. More attention must be given not only to producing, but to saving an increased number of ami mals and with cold weather when hogs run together more, every effort should be made to help eliminate the losses from cholera which cost the state $4,O00,000 last year. Ask the county agent to teach you how 10 use the serum and virus in vaccinat- ing against this disease.
 ~@s
 Bumper Corn Crop Should be Planned Everyone should realize the neces- sity for having on hand plenty of good seed corn from the best variet, obtainable. and they should protect 1 if from weevils. 100000 bushels of corn were lost from this cause last wear.

Little Francis Pickens Werts.

On Tuesday, January lst, 1918, the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. WertS
was made sad when the dear Mas
ter called away little Francis Pick
ems, their dearest treasure on earth,
and their only darling babe. The
only grand child of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. E. Parkman, and ouly great
grand child of cMr. f. P. Johnson
He was laid to rest in Good Hope
cemetery, January 2. He was sick
only 5 days, while he was real sick
all that time, all prayed that the
dear Master would see fit to let the
little darling stay longer with papa
and mama here on earth.
But the dear Lord knoweth best,
so called little Francis Pickens to
glory, where he has place for all.
He gave him to them for 10 short
months. Then he wanted one more
precious angel in heaven to make 1t
brighter. SO called little Francis
Pickens to join the happy band.
And now he is in heaven and with
the angels stand.
We know twas hard to give him
up a little darling, so fair and
sweet, but he is one more little
angel, that will be waiting papa
and mama to greet, and oh, what a
happy day twill be when they all
shall meet. He was loved by all
who knew him. for he was such a
sweet babe. Bat his body now lies
in the grave, while the little soul is
with the one who gave.
To papa and mama, Francis
Pickens will be waiting with the
happy band that stands by Heaven g
gate ana he has place by his side
for you.
When you have finished ali the
work God gave you to do be II
soon or late, the Lord giveth and
He taketh away.
Blessed be the name of the Lord.

brick, tin for the roof, and all the
other necessary material were all of
good quality.
Mr.. Anderson, the architect, after
receiving the building material, set
to work with his company of skilled
workmen, and in an amazingly short
time had completed his work.
Yesterday, as l approached my
home, it was with a feeling of pride
that 1 looked upon it. The freshly
painted sides were as white as snow,
the roof rejecting the rays of the
morning sun, the doors thrown open
as if in welcome, it seemed to me
that it was the most beautiful place
on earth. Home is the most beautl-
ful place to the man who builds 1t,
owns it, and loves it. AS 1 walked
across the rough fields to my house,
I thought of what l could do to make
it attractive with Towering and
sweet smelling shrubs, towering
plants and good-natured shade trees
at intervals over the lawn. I enter
the house, soon to be home, and think
of what is needed there. 1t must
have books and pictures and music.

Dear Advertiser: When the good
people of community do a good
thing in good spirit and at good
time, | believe that somebody
ought to tell it on them. During
the holidays, the generous-hearted
people of />Red Hill, Antioch and
Republican churches, frequently
stormcd our premises with wagons,
buggies and men heavily loaded
with flour, meats, meal, potatoes,
fruits. coffee, rice, sugar, wood, pig,
chickens and various other useful
things for the home.
When I was a boy my father and
mother used to pound me OCCASION
ally, and when l became a minister
the people began to pound me. But
III be pounded again if ever got
such a tremendous pounding as the
good people of our churches gave
us during the past few days, and l
understand they are not all done
yet.
Many thanks to the good people
who were 80 thoughtful as to re-
member us IN such a substantial
and helpful way. We hope to prove
worthy of all your gifts.
We are always glad to have our
friends visit US and especially when
it is done in such a helpful way.
We hope to have you come often.
Your pastor and family,

Canada Floors John Barleycorn

Ottawa, Ont, Dec. 22.-Importa-
ton of intoxicating liquors into
Canada after Monday next is pro-
hibited, and their manufacture will
be prohibited after date TO be de-
,ermined later, Premier Borden Off
cially announced to-day.
The Premier said there would be
an investigation and consideration
of the conditions in the liquor in
dustry before the date for prohibi-
ton of manufacture is decided
upon.
The ban will remain in force dur
ing the war and for one year after
conclusion of peace.
TIE action was taken, the premier
stated, By virtue of the unmistaka-
bic mandate'' given the government
December II (the date of the Cana
dian election) for the vigorous pros
ecution of the war and for the em.
ployment Of all the country's ener.
gies aud resources necessary 10

Any liquor or beverage contain
ing more than q per cent alcohol
shall be regarded as intoxicating
liquor and banned under the new
order. The restrictions do not ap-
ply to importations for medicinal,
sacramental, manufacturing and
chemical purposes.
1T is essential and indeed vital
for the efficient conduct of the war
that wasteful or unnecessary expen-
diture should be prohibited and
that all articles capable of being
| utilized as food should be con-
ser, ed," said the premier's state
ment. 1t is beyond question that
the use of liquor affects adversely
the realization Of this purpose.

COURSE IN MOTHERHOOD
AND MOTHER-CRAFT

Atlanta, Ga, July 3--A course in
motherhood and mother-craft is the
progressive step taken by Elizabeth
Mather College of this city to pre-
pare its girl students for the respon-
sibilities that will devolve upon them
in later life. The president of the
college, Miss Blanche c. Loveridge,
is recognized as one of the ablest edu-
Gators of the country, and her ideas
of the proper training for young wo-
men are thoroughly in accord with
the progressive spirit of the times.
Sensible people ought to realize"
declares Miss Loveridge, that the flu
ture mothers of the nation are now in
the schools, and this great experience
of life comes upon them when they
are wholly unprepared and untutored.
We are the only people who are in
sisting upon this course in mother
hood" Most of the teachers of Eliza
beth Mather College are in New York
and Chicago taking special summer
courses.

DIR. HAM LAUNCHES DRIVE
ON Low DANCE HALLS

Atlanta, Ga, July 5.-A drive on the
low dance halls of Atlanta has been
launched by Rev. J. w. Ham, the
famous fighting pastor of the Bap-
fist Tabernacle, who has produced
some startling statistics to show that
while they are operated under the
guise of dancing schools they are in
reality the recruiting ground of the
white SLAYER. He charges that more
than Is per cent of the women who
frequent the so-called dancing schools
are prostitutes, and that the atmos-
phere of the halls is grossly sensual.
Mothers of the city. he charges, are
permitting young and innocent and
impressionable daughters to 60 to
dances in these so-called schools
without investigating their character,
and the presence of the men in uni
form renders it all the more neces-
sary to exercise the strictest super
vision over them.

diana in defining non-essentials by
applying limit to unnecessarily va
ried assortment Of luxuries of one
kind. which serves an excellent pur-
pose without any deprivation.
Vanilla, strawberry and chocolate
will constitute the ice cream menu OF
the patriotic ice cream manufacturer
in that state for the remainder OF the
season at least
AS a result of the action Of the In
diana manufacturers of Dairy Prod
ucts, approaching the necessity for
reduction of the use of sugar in their
products, binding themselves by reso-
luton to produce only the three
brands of ice cream, DR.. Harry r.
Barnard. federal food administrator
for Indiana issued directions to coun-
ty food administrators and their as
sistants to see to it that no other
flavoring is used in ice cream, either
in confectioneries or soda fountains
The penalty for failing to abide by
this ruling is that the offender be de-
prived of any further sugar supply OF

for the period of the war.
While no such action has been tax

the idea of re-grouping the counties
Of the state around the agricultural
colleges. They are now located in

tors feel that these districts are well
defined, that they are conveniently
arranged, and that the proposed re-
grouping would cause needless con-
fusion.
