CUTTING DOWN ON PAPER.

A congressman has asked for aa investigation to determine if the various government departments cut their consumption of paper 10 per cent without undue suffer- ing on the part of the public.
 Why an Investigation? The government departments can cut the consumption of paper 90 per cent and bring great relief to the public. There was only one time when the printed matter that the government sent out came in han dy. That was during the coa: strike. Now that we have plenty of coal there is no use burning paper.
 X It's also possible to cut Che various activities of most govern ment departments 10 per cent, cut the pay roll 10 per cent and there- by save lot of expense to the postoffice department, curtail the consumption of paper and make life easier on those to whom these uselsss pamphlets are mailed.

Arkansas Drops
 as Cotton State

Little Rock, Dec. 22.-The final cotton report of the year, 1919: made public today by the Ark ansas Cooperative Crop Reporting service, shows that Arkansas has fallen from third place in 1916 and fifth place in 1918, to seventh place among the states in 1919 in the amount of cotton produced. Be- ginning with 1916 each successive year has been, from the stand point of production, more discour- aging than the preceding. This has not been due to poor work, or a disregard fthe things that make for agricultural success on the part of the growers, but purely to weather conditions over which the grower has had no control, and against which he has been forced to contend. While 1917 and 1918 each witnessed an increase in acreage over 1916, this year part of the lessened production must be laid at the door of decreased acreage. It was simply impossi- ble for the farmers to prepare and plant more ground than they did Bad weather and soil conditions permitted we would have had well over 3,000,000 acres this year. In, stead we planted II per cent less than we harvested year ago; in other words, we planted 2,701, ,0O( acres.
