ARGUS MAN WRITES AS HE
 RIDES

(Continued from Page D The train is now skinnirg along to the south and we are passing thro' country that looks much like our country around Brink Iley-pine and fiat woods.
 First call for lunch" calls the waiter as he passes thro' the car and this brings to my mlnd that elegant new luncheon place opened in Brinkley on Monday The Murfette. Some swell place, costing several thousand dollars to finish and furnish it. It would do credit to any city and ot course Brinkley people will be proud of it.The young proprietor Fred T. Murphy, Jr., did himself proud on opening day, serving the public free and presenting 1he ladies with carnations. The Murfette bids fair to be the most popular pleasure palace in East ern Arkansas.

 But to Lunch.
 Now we gre passing thro' the mining section of Alabama. After lunch Hay down and fell asleep and the yelling of jitney drivers at Jasper brought me back again. By actual count there were 16 jitneys arG busses at the depot all the drivers yell ing like mad mel and with 1t all there was just one passenger to get off the train. She passed down the long line of auto. driv- CTS asking" how much to ride LID town" Each one answered 25c and as she reached the last one she defiantly said, q won't pay it, I'll walk first" and walk she did, leaving the 16 jitneys to drive away empty. Competl- tion among Jasper iitneys is fierce.
 From every side Pm noting the coal mines now. Just passed the headquarters of OUT old friend, "Peiper's Red Ash Goa" the kind Eve been asking Dealer l T. c. Simmons to get me for next season. We are coming quite near Birmingham now and I'll close my note and mail in my copy for 1 know how fast that electric Mergenthaler Lin otype eats up copy and there fore the force may be glad to get even this kind of copy.
 The Florida Flyer is scheduled for only a 5 minutes stop in Birmingham and thence pulls out direct for Atlanta and direct to Jacksonville, reaching there at II o'clock tomorrow morning.
 Goodbye for this time.

On last Saturday morning, on N. Main St., about three blocks from the Plaza an automobile mired down to the hubs and had to be pulled out. Just think of that, on our most prominent street and mud so deep that an automobile will mire down. What we need is gravel streets. Dragging the streets will not keep them from getting muddy. It is to be hoped that something will be done befor another sea- son of mud to relieve this situ- ation.

The South is now in a position which might be called cotton poor"; that is to say, it has large stocks of cotton on hand costing considerable more than present market values to produce and for which there is seemingly no demand except at these sacri- flee prices. Although there are sound funda- mental reasons why cotton should not be as low as the present market quotations yet in order to be on the safe side it is good policy not to raise the usual crop of cotton in 1919 then the world will be sure to take the cotton it can get and pay the Southern farm CT remunerative price for raising it. Do not flood the market with more than it will absorb Any manufacturer when he sees that he cannot sell the stock of goods that he has on hand immediately curtails his pro- duction. Farmers are manufacturers and they can apply the same principles on smaller scale If in 1919 every farmer will cut his normal cotton acreage by one-third he will get more money for his crop and get paid at least the cost price for any 1918 cot ton he might have on hand, which is now quoted below the cost of production.
 Everyone knows that small crop years yleld more money. III lndVldudl cases CIllS might not be so, because one farmer or one section of the farming country or even a whole State might have a ruinously short crop. Tn this event they would have to suffer while more fortunate individuals in other sections would benefit. But as a gen. eral rule when a crop is short everybody makes more money. It is easy to see that ten bales of cotton at $150 bale will yield more net profit than twenty bales at $75 bale. The total value is the same but the cost of handling of making, of picking, etc. IS twice for twenty bales as it is for ten. The slogan for 1919 should be- Make a small ,crop and sell it for more than it cost to raise" It is time for the Southern farmer to quit doing business at loss In any other line of industry when the manager finds that he is losing money he quits and tries some thing else. It is good business and common sense to cut down on cotton acreage when you are losing money on what you made the year before.
 By cutting down your cotton acreage you need not reduce your land under culti- yation. A farmers business is to farm, and
