The markets are calling for
more meat. The soil is calling
for a diversified farming. The
railroads are offering better
facilities for the marketing of
livestock and the prices are
more remunerative than ever.
If there is to be any large
addition to the meat supply of
the world it must come through
Southern farmers increasing
the production of livestock.
The first step towards a pro
profitable cattle business is to
begin with high grade cattle
for breeding purposes. It costs
no more to feed fine cattle than
poor cattle, and the profit is
found not in the "average” pro
duct, but in the best product.
The climate and the soil of
the South unite in calling upon
the farmers to increase the
production of cattle for the
slaughter house; of dairy cat
tle, of dairy products, of hogs
and sheep.
Rring this matter directly
home to yourself. See if you
cannot add to the profit ofyour
farm by increasing your dairy
herd, your cattle for the butch
er, your flock of sheep or the
hogs that you are feeding. The
question of profit or loss is a
personal question. When we
say that the South can make
money by raising cattle, we
mean that you can make it.
What do you*think about it?—

HOW SOME ARKANSAS
FIRES GOT STARTED
Curse of Carelessness Indeed
Visited Upon Many Homes
in the State
Some of the remarkable ways
in which fires get started are
shown by a survey of the press
of the state which is ushering
in the heating season with
stories of loss of life and prop
erty through what has been
aptly termed “The Curse of
Carelessness.” That readers of
this paper may be stimulated
to greater care The Journal
shows below how fires are caus
ed almost daily. The fire tax
actually paid (through increas
ed living costs) by the head of
the average American family
is estimate to be for a family of
five $15.00 per year. Ninety
five per cent of all fires are
preventable—therefore due to
carelessness or ignorance.
At Hot Springs an electric
iron was left unattended with
the current turned on and one
of the finest dwellings in the
city was almost destroyed, the
damage reaching several thou
sand dollars.
A Little Rock woman clean
ed an iron bed with gasoline
and forgetting left the jar of
gasoline uricovered beneath it.
Next morning when a fire was
lighted in the kitchen range on
the other side of a board par
tition from the bed, an explo
sion resulted. The gasoline
fumes, which when mixed with
air are more explosive than
powder and as dangerous as
dynamite, had traveled through
a crack and reached the flame
in the stove. A child sleeping
on the bed was burned to
death.
At Malvern a gas stove ex
ploded and burned a dwelling.
A leaky gas stove or one with
loose valves that turn at a
touch is a highly dangerous
thing.
A gasoline stove exploded at
Jonesboro ; nd the housewife
barely escaped with her life.
Never fill a lighted gasoline
stove or never fill one when
there is a light or blaze any
where in the house. Fill them
in the daytime. A gallon of
gasoline mixed with air isequal
to 237 pounds of dynamite,
scientists tell us.
A defective flue burned an
uninsured house at Hoxie. A
new flue would have cost pos
sibly $12. Repairs to the old
might have been made for a
dollar or less. The owner lost
$3,000 as he had no insurance.
If he had had insurance the
public would have lost the $3,
000.

SOLDIERS EOT RELIEF
Boys on the Border Relieved Their
Pains and Aches with
Sloan’s Liniment.
Once upon a time Norman Jones,
serving in the National Guard at
El l’aso, returned to camp after a
strenuous 15 mile hike foot-sore and leg
weary. lie had not been long in active
service and his shoulders, back and
limbs felt the after-effects of marching.
Remembering Sloan’s Liniment,
Jones applied it to the sore spots and
went to bed. lie writes • “ I arose the
■ext morning feeling fine; In fact I
had entirely forgotten about the hike
and went out for a four-hour drill in
the svn as spry as ever.”
Private Jones passed the experience
along, and many a boy on the border
relieved the agony of sprains, strains,
bruises, insect bites, cramped muscles,
rheumatic twinges, etc., by the use oi
bloan’s Liniment.

TELLS OF ELECTION
DAYS 70 YEARS AGO
Election Lasted Three Days
And Was Quite Different
From Elections Now
The election is over and we
have achieved a great victory
in our state election by defeat
ing Act No. 2 by about two to
one, and saved our state-wide
prohibition law, thereby saving
the honor of our great and
noble state.
I am reminded to tell our
boys something of my recollec
tion of the elections in Ken
tucky seventy years ago.
In those days a candidate for
office was expected to give a
good deal of whiskey to obtain
votes. But now, even in that
proud old state where so much
whiskey is made if a man at
tempted to gain votes in that
manner he could not be elect
ed for dog pelter. Such is the
change in the sentiment of the
people that even when they
(the whiskey fiends) drink it
they do so in secret. But when
go to a certain length, it tells
on them in their muffled dia
lect and swaggering walk, and
they are ashamed of it and go
home and lie up in a stupor for
hours until time resuscitates
them, and they are very sorry
for they feel they have done
something very wrong.
Well, I started out to tell you
something of the election in
those days. The election in
Kentucky was held on the first
Monday in August which was
during vacation in school,as we
had vacation July and August.
So we boys had a gala time on
election days. We had three
days election then,Monday and
Wednesday the main votes
were polled. The boys and ne
groes. all had a holiday (that
was in slavery time.) The old
negro women had for sale in
the court yard great baskets of
ginger cakes, and it seems to
me that they were the best I
ever ate, even “mother never
made such.” Then they had
barrels of cider to go with the
ginger cakes and the finest wa
ter melons, musk melons and
fine, luscious horse apples.And
in the evening the negroes
were ripe for fiddling and
dancing and drinking hard cid
er. No one was allowed to sell
or give them whiskey. So it was
prohibition with the negroes.
Well don’t you know we boys
had a jolly time on election
days, eating and sightseeing,
for the fiddling and dancing
was better than any of your
minstrel shows or moving pic
ture shows of today.
In my next I will tell you
something more of election
times. This is long enough for
one time.

often came on suddenly and
felt as if someone had plunged
a sharp instrument into the
