plentiful than for years, as follows:
A summer resident of Sabine has a
scheme for ridding the cottage of the
pests which works out we'll. Each
night, just as the sun is setting he
goes around the cottage windows
and experience had taught him that
at this hour the mosquitoes always
seek light and they gather on the
west windows and none remain in
flight so it is simple matter to visit
every window and kill them. ridding
the cottage of the pests for that

NO INCREASE IN LOWER HOUSE

The lower house of Congress has passed bill limiting its membership to 435 for the next ten years.
 Under the law as it has heretofore existed, the increase in population during the past decade entitled the house to increase it's membership to 4S3, and a bill was offered allowing for this increase.
 If the bill making the increase had become the law Arkansas would have had an additional Congressman, but this would have been a doubtful ad- vantage to the state.
 After bitter fight the bill limit ing the membership to 435 was pass ed by vote of 2S7 to 76.
 The proposed increase would have added approximately million dol lars a year to the expenses of the government.
 Several states will lose one or two Congressman under the new law, be- cause their population was reduced in the census of 1920. Missouri will lose two and Mississippi one.
 Congress listended to the voice of the people. Several protests were sent in against the proposed increase, i but there were no petitions from the people in any section favoring it.
 The increase in the house could have served no purpose except tc create fat jobs for number of men and there are entirely too many fat , government jobs now. , For once Congress has done some thing that will meet with general ap , probation.

THE COTTON CONVENTION.

We have been so busy keeping up with the oil development in this sec ton that we came very near over- looking the cotton meeting at Little Rock this week.
 It is a little too soon to predict predict whether the meeting was a success or not. In point of mem- bers and in the amount of hot air disseminated it was probably huge affair But as to whether it accom- plished any real good along the lines for which it was called it will take the next three or four months to determine.
 Four months from now the cotton will practically all be planted and not until that time will it be known whenther there has been any marked reduction in the acreage.
 As was known in advance, the convention decided on at least 50 per cent reduction in the acreage of cotton, but good many of the boys who pull the bell cord over old Beck were not present and vot- ing. So, we repeat that it is too early to predict its success or failure.
 Dr. Bradford Knapp hit the nail on the head when he said
 "Every time we get into trouble in tba co,1tb xuo raoopoyoapd fba eap,a thing as a resolution-grow our own foodstuffs.
 "Why in the Sam Hill don't you do it? We are saying it today as a rem edy for the present situation. Unless conditions change before next Aug. 1, when the next cotton crop is marketed, there will be large car ry-over. You know that it would be folly to produce another large cot ton crop, and if we are wise we will not place another low-priced crop on the market. It's not question of what we are going to do in 1921; it's a question of what we are going to do permanently. We must raise our own foodstuffs.
 "People in Washington and Benton counties in this state do not know there are hard times. Their banks have not had to borrow money Why? Because they raised corn, wheat, fruits, strawberries and stock. They had more than one crop to offer on the market"
 Theodore Price, who is charged with being a financial expert and admits the charge, told the assem- bled farmers that "the way to be prosperous is to work, and if we don't work we are not going to be prosperous" The farmmers will probably agree with Theodore on this point, but they will also agree that he should have gone farther and said that sometimes we. can work mighty hard and still not be pros porous. There are several million of them who can vouch for that during the past year.
 The effort, however, to help the farmer in the time of his stress is very meritorious, for when the farm CT is prospectus the rest of us are usually in the same condition.
 We hope that the reduction propo- sition will be followed, because the chances are that there will be large surplus of cotton on hand at the beginning of the next season. the largest in history.

When the members of the legisla- ture get to fighting over such trivial matters as to whether they shall pay the ianitor a dollar day more or not they never stop to realize that they are eating up the peoples money at more rapid rate by pro- longed debate than if they had gone ahead and granted the raise to start with. We notice the raise is nearly always granted anyhow.

RESOLUTIONS FOR THE NEW
 YEAR

The custom of celebrating by some religious observance the first day of the year seems to have pre- vailed among most of the ancient nations. The Jews, Mohammedans, Chinese, Egyptians and Romans altho differing widely in their time and manner of celebrating, each regard ed it as a day of especial interest. In many countries as in our own the night of New Years eve is celebrat- ed with great festivity which is pro- longed until twelve when there is much ringing of bells and great mer- riment.
 After the hour of rejoicing is ov- CT and the birth of the infant year comes time of serious thought as to how the New Year is to be lived. The Old Year is passed with all it's joys and sorrows. with all of it's sue eesses and failures and the question arises, What am I to do with this New Year? And it is a question de- serving of much thought. Many resolutions are made but so many of us fail in the keeping.
 May we strive harder this year than ever before and help a few of the following for they are indeed worthy of adoption:
 Forget not the assembling of yourselves together as the custom of some is."
 Resolved that I will endeavor to attend the worship of my Master, at all times it is possible for me to do so. l will be in my place in the church worship, in the Sunday school, in the prayer meeting and in the Aid Society. I will be there not as a drone but as a busy worker for my Master"
 Keep my tongue from evil and my lips from speaking guile"
 Resolved that at all times I will try to control my tongue that it may utter no evil word against another, or speak a word to wound a fellow creature, or to cast reproach upon the cause of Christ"
 "Cease from anger forsake wrath"
 Resolved that I will always en- deavor to control my temper, that it may not cause me to do wrong in the sight of God and man. An evil tenn per and the Holy Spirit cannot in herit the same body.
 ''I was sick and ye visited me-"
 Resolved to visit the sick more and do what l can to relieve their distress both physical and mental. To be ready at all times to answer the call of service to the sick and sacrifice my comfort for theirs.
 'Lay by in store as the Lord has you"
 Resolved to contribute of my means to the support of the gospel and to the relief of the distressed and needy and help in any way that think would be pleasing to my Master.
 ''Thy word is lamp unto my feet"
 Resolved to study His word, that His laws may guide my feet through fife and that they may take me to 10 place where I cannot ask my Sa- Jior to go with me-
 "Whaever ye would that men should do to you do ye also unto hem"
 Hereby hangs the structure of and do resolve to treat ny fellow creatures as I would they reat me.
 Let us all strive to help these res ,lutions and let the next new year ind us better, truer Christians, wives, mothers and friends.
