SORGHUMVALUABLE
IF RIGHTLY HANDLED
Don’t Put in Barrels or Kegs,
Use Buckets and Have Labels
Printed at Journal Office.
Sorghum making time is now
with us and the sorghum mills
are running full blast. In a few
weeks the country will appar
ently be overrun with sorghum
and the question will arise.how
to convert the surplus sorghum
into money.
It is a hard problemi if you
go about it wrong and an easy
one if you go about it right. As
a matter of fact there is not
enough sorghum in this year’s
crop to supply the home de
mand. so far as Arkansas is
concerned. The first step to get
money out of sorghum is to pro
duce good sorghum. The next is
to put it into marketable shape.
The wrong way is to put molas
ses into a barrel, keg or jugs
and take to town merchants.He
may not tell you so, but he
knows that he cannot sell to
the best advantage that way.
The right way is to get. some
tin syrup can or buckets, with
self scaling friction tops. These
can be had from any hardware
dealer, in quarts, half gallon
and gallon sizes. Molasses put
up in these cans should keep
thorughout the year and not
get too storng. Use assorted
sizes of cans, so the demand of
the retail dealer can be met.
It would be wise to go to
your local printing office and
have some neat labels printed.
They will cost you only about a
dollar for a hundred. Paste tin
labels on neatly. Always re
member that the neatness and
the attractiveness of the pack
age is the first step to a good
sale i nth is day and time. The
American people are paying
more for paper boxes, tin cans,
pretty labels and gilt letters
now than at any time in the his
tory of our country. Quality is
seldom considered unless the
package looks good. Bum good -
will sell in a pretty package;
good goods will not sell in a
bum package.
When ready for the market,
take your goods to the mer
chant in town and offer them
for sale at 50 cents per gallon,
Don’t go around and ask what
they will give. For once in your
life assume the right that be
longs to every producer and
put your own price on your
produet, If you can’t sell then
go to the consumers and sell at
sixtv cent ■ agallon in competi
tion with the merchants. If this
plan fails to di -1 >se of what
you have, then go to the post
master and see what it will
cost to hip each different size
by parcel post. Then fix your
prices accordingly and adver
tise in the county paper to sell
delivered by parcel post, and
guarantee the quality. If you
cannot guarantee the quality,
then nil plans will fail you.
If your ad in the countv pa
per fails to sell your product,
then send a s imple can to some
brokers in the nearby cities,
give him your price and let him
sell for you. paying him the
usual commission of five per
cent.
1 mention prices and plans
of selling because first, the
prices are fair to the producer,
consumer and middleman; and
second, because the merchants
and business men w ho preach
for the doctiine of diversifica
tion should be willing to “show
their faith by their work” in
co-operating with the farmers
in disposing of their product
profitably, and 1 believe they
will. Many of t hem have told
me they would.
A home man should always
give preference to a home pro
duct. The merchants should
give preference to home-made
products and handle on small
profits, because it keeps the

Prohibition will be the great

and will be a factor in the el

next legislature in the ap
proaching primary, is the be
lief of many of the prohibition
leaders of the state
Senator T. C. White of Pine

prohibition leaders in the last
legislature, in discussing the
situation gave out the follow
ing statement at Little Rock a
I few clays ago.
“The announcement of the li
quor men that they will not
initiate a petition for the re
peal of the prohibition law
shows plainly that they will
bring up the fight in the next
legislature.
“The prohibition forces, par
ticularly the Anti-Saloon Lea
gue, have been busy since the
legislature adjourned, however
and will make the liquor ques
tion an issue in the race of ev
every candidate for the legis

, OBITUARY
Snoda Belle Freeman,daugh
ter ot' Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Free
man, was born October 25,
1893; died August 22 ,1915.
About one year ago she was
married to Ernest Williams.
She joined the Christian church
live years ago and lived a con
secrated member until her
death.
Snoda had numerous friends.
To know her was to be her
friend. She was kind, genial
and optimistic, always wearing
a smile and always willing to
make a sacrifice in order to in
fuse sunshine into somebody’s
life.
I Faithful as a wife,loving ami
devoted as a daughter, kind
and obliging as a neighbor,true
land considerate as a friend,sht
will be misesd by many. Her
voice has been silenced but will
-till linger in the ears of her
husband, father, mother, and
friends, as the tones of a well
tuned instrument, linger in
the ears after the instrument
has ceased to send out its har
monious strains. She has lived
her life, she has wielded her
influence, she has folded her
arms upon her breast and gon<
home. We shall see her no more
amid the shadows of the earth..
Death must some day mark
the ed of every earthly pilgrim
age. May you and 1 so live that
when the time shall come fm
us to go, we may be able to
look back over our lives well
spent and “sustained and soot li
ed by an unfaltering trust, ap
proach our graves like one
that wraps the drapery of her
couch above her and lies down
to pleasant dreams.”
