sweeping over the land. Darkness would creep in, the darkness of intellect. as people would remain in ignorance of the happenings in localities only few miles dis tant. Business would slow down, telegraph communication would soon fall into disuse. because no stimulus would come from news paperdom. Even the postoffice receipts would dwindle, for much of its revenue comes in direct re- sponse to advertising.
 The newspaper is the third of the great agencies in the advance. ment of civilization. yet it is un- derestimated more often than the first two. It is too often treated as merely 2 business proposition. Few people seem ever to get the vision that the true.blue editor has of using business 10 advance the interests of a whole commun- ity. The preacher has one job to preach: the teacher has one job to teach: but the editor, if he be true. has a triple job. and that is to preach and teach. and hardest of it all ard with 1t all. too, to meet his weekly pay roll, pay the other costs of production. and try to get comfortable living and we all have a right to that.
 Quitting the church and the school, we can make claim with out exaggeration. that true newspaper is of mol real impor- tance, does more good with less money. gives more for less money than any other business in a com munity. It is true that some will point to large industrial concerns that flourish in the community

 A Prime Necessity

 rhere are three most potent factors in the life. growth and de- velopment of a community. They are: lthe Church, the School and the newspaper. and this is in the order of importance.
 It is not our purpose here to eulogize.
 We will pass over the first two of these factors, and perhaps treat of them later. If the churches were thrown out of this commun- ity no self.respecting person could stay here. With all our material prosperity We would soon drop back to conditions such as ancient Rome witnessed: and if the school were discontinued material pro- gress would stop and We would sink beyond redemption.
 The church Is a public institu- tion and Is supported by voluntary contributions. The school is also a public institution and is SUD- ported by the state through taxa tion. The newspaper Is semi public institution but receives no public support but nas to earn it's livelihood through the regular channels of competitive business.
 It is of the newspaper that we wish now to speak.
 If all of the newspapers and other periodicals were discon- continued today the effect of that event would be somewhat sim liar to a mighty plague sweep

COMMUNITIES SUFFER WITH UTILITIES

Little Rock, Dec 5. 1920
 The principal trouble with the utilities throughout the country today is that they have been starved by ackof adequate compensation. the plants have made upon them, said A. G. Whidden % manager rN' the Arkansas Utilities Association. in discussing the situation of the utilities in Arkansas
 During the war the government required the output of the manufactures of supplies for the water. light, gas, telephone and railway companies. and many utilities could obtain material even if they had been able to purchase at the higher prices
 Utilities operators could see coming just such trouble as communities experiencing and tried to avert 1t by appealing to the public city councils for fair and equitable rates. that the a @ and appeals were not needed The people. unianNliar with operating costs did not appreciate the situation. nor realize how the public would be affecte1t0 So today, both the public and the utilities are paying 'Munieipaily y.owned and operated utilities are Wsn1e are Re c Memphis and r!5 St. Louis water pants-al muncpaly. owned < rates have been increased greatly The trouble was their revenue did not keep with their And municipality y-owned plants not burdened with taxes as are privately owned systems.
 The utilities are partly responsible for the situation because or their failure to use advertising space in the newspapers to inform the public concerning constantly increasing of operation. They realize this now, and having confidence in the fairness of the public plan to present their to the people through newspaper advertisements and other mediums of publicity.
 Of course there will be some to contend this IS no time to increase rates but those utilities that have been starved for years must have relief if they and the.communities they suffer more than they have.
 Those nanu facturers and others who advanced prices to hgher costs of production afford Fms uile advance rates. They have had their necessary increases. and with decreasing production cost, probably may reduce prices But the utilities are in different position They have not had advances proportonate to higher costs and everything they labor fuel. material has gone up The result is they just about starved out and their efficiency impred. They must have relief in the way of adequate rates if they are to and provide the service necessary continuous development of the community In addition the .sl6.eUs Public Relations Section raeteay every uty has ARKANSAS UTILITIES ASSOCIATION . e"e' ''' ''e N''"'A'S s'"'" 209l Spring Street.

MOST OF FARM WOMEN STILL
CARRY WATER FOR HOUSE

An extensive survey by the United
States department of agriculture
shows that SO per cent of the farm
women in this country do the family
washing and that more than half Of
them are still using n washboard.
Sixty-one per cent Of them carry water
an average of forty feet many, many
times day; day in and day out; year
after year. Ninety-two per cent do
the family sewing, mending, while an
even larger percentage Of them do
the family baking.
The farm woman's work-day aver
ages II hours and sometimes even
longer, the survey shows. The de-
partment is cooperating with state
colleges of agriculture in an effort to
bring about better conditions for the
women on the farm, especially more
household. conveniences. AS a result
of this work, over thousand farm
kichens were remodelled last year.
Every farmer, whose farmyard can
boasts Of modern machinery and other
up-tO-date equipment for saving time
and labor, should see that the women
of his household are given square
deal. Give her good, modern equip
ment for her kitchen as well as the
rest of the house. Have running
water installed in the house. Get her
a motor-driven washing machine, a
few of the modern labor-saving de-
vices now being sold for household
use and which are boon to the only
too often overworked housewife.
The farmer whose wife's kitchen has
not kept pace with the general i'm
provement that has gone on about his
farm, is not successful farmer out
side Of his ability to make money The
house is where the woman of the part
nership spends her days. She has
earned every modern convenience that
she needs and should demand them.
Man and wife partnership is every bit
as important as any business venture,
and if it is to be success, each should
do their share. A farmer works hard
and If he is the right sort, he takes
pride in his place and is ever on the
alert for anything in modern equip

A THRIFT FoR THRIFT

Every magazine especially the wm-
ems magazines, and every woman's
club in the land is taking up the cud-
gel of some sort and waving il with q
cry of Thrift" But do many of US
really know how to be thrifty, or what
to do with thrift after We get il!
As one magazine writer puts il:
many of US think that thrift Is n pres
ent-day denial for a future days
spending" That isn't thrift. II is q
sort OF saving up for q spree. The
same writer. Samuel Crowther, in the
North American Review, goes on to
say: "Real thrift, considered in all its
economic relations, is not based pri-
marily upon self-denial. but upon wise
spending, upon getting ones moneys
worth and upon the exercise of a dis
eliminating Judgment, so ordering
ones affairs that there will be mar
gin between income and outgo.
That means thinking, and it's what
most Of us hate to do. The moral for
thrifty people is simply this. that more
real pleasure and more lasting profit
will come from sitting down and reas-
oning out what We and our families
actually need and then going out and
with the best of our ability getting il.
rather than weeping over other peo-
pies sins in making high prices and
then purchasing n great deal of cheap
stuff.
Each one Of US will have to solve
the problem for ourselves and in each
one Of US lies the remedy and the pos
sibility of real thrift.

WINTER SALADS MAY BE
MADE FROM VEGETABLES

When winter comes and the green
salad things are more difficult TO get,
there Is no reason why salads should
disappear from the table. Winter
vegetables may be served in the form
Of salads to give more variety to the
menus and as an additional way of in
cooperating more vegetables IN the
diet. 1t Is also good way to use up
q few leftover dishes of cooked vege-
tables that cannot be served in any
other way and which one hates to
throw away. Combined with little
chopped celery and ground nuts, al
most any kind of vegetable will taste
decidedly different when mixed with
q few salad ingredients.
Here are q few salads, although not
exclusively Of vegetables, they are well
worth clipping and filing with the rest
Of your reliable recipes.
GRAPEFRUIT and Celery salad
Mix grapefruit pulp with finely cut
celery. using twice as much grapefruit
- celery. Serve on lettuce with may
onnaise.
The Thres P.'s.-Take cupful each
Of stewed Quartered prunes. pineapple
and rolled peanuts; mix well and
serve in lettuce cups with French
dressing.
Tomato and chive eaIad.-Peel and
chill small, ripe. round tomatoes; roll
In . boiled salad dressing. then in
chopped chives. Arrange on the white
leaves Of lettuce and serve we'll
chilled.
Pea and Walnut SaIad.-Take equal
quantities of cold cooked peas and
English walnuts. broken in bits Sprin-
kle with French dressing, let stand
half an hour and mix with fnayon-
naise. Serve In lettuce or lemon cups.
Mustard and Lsttues.-Take the
small green mustard plants. mix with
youne lsttuce and serve With French
afessine. The mustard, cut nne and
nixsd With cottage cheese. makes
a,Qst tasty salad. adding little cook
ed Mlad dressing.
