MAKE IT A LIQUOR LESS
CHRISTMAS
Why not have a liquorless
Christmas this year?
Right now, when everybody is
preaching “Profitable Farming,”
and while there is so much agita
tion in favor of various move
ments for greater efficiency along
all lines of human endeavor, and
while all of us can see and feel the
need of greater economy—surely
► it is a good and auspicious time to
inaugurate a movement for a
“Liquorless Christmas.”
The use of whiskey has never
proved of any benefit to mankind;
but on the contrary it is respon
sible for more poverty, ignorance,
illiteracy, disease, and lack of
efficier accomplishment, than any
other one cause that confronts
the American people.
We people of the South, especi
ally, need to invest our dollars in
something more substantial and
profitable.
A man had better take his mon
ey and throw it into the river than
buy whiskey with it, for if he
throws his money into the river
he has lost only his money, while
if he buys whiskey and drinks it
he has not only thrown his money
away for something that is of no
value to him but is a positive det
riment to him, physically.
Let’s have a “Liquorless Christ
mas”—for the sake of the wife
and children who need the money
for betler things; for the sake of
the boys and young men who need
a better example from the older
men, and certainly from their
fathers; and at least out of a de
cent respect to the Founder of the
Christian religion whose birth is
celebrated. If there is one time
of all the year more than another
when a man ought to be free
from dissipation and immorality
that time is Christmas.
Gov. Hays has named December
19 as “Dollar Day,” for the pur
pose of aiding in the work of rais
ing funds for the Arkansas exhibit
at the San Francisco Worlds Fair.
The Journal has been named as
distributing agent for this place
for the handsome souvenirs that
are to ne given inose wnocunutu
ute a dollar to this worthy cause.
The souvenirs are now at this of
fice. Don’t fail to get yours.
That Arkansas can diversify
and raise her food products at
home without materially reducing
the production of cotton is not to
be denied. The success of many
farmers over the state who diver
sify is ample proof that diversifi
cation not only reduces the cost
and thus makes living easier, but
that it also results in improvement
of soil conditions and therefore
larger yields of cotton per acre.
We seldom find people ungrate
ful as long as we are in position to
render them further service.

The time has passed when a
man can win any worth-while
success by trying to give the least
value that will he accepted tor as
much value as he can get in re
turn. What you get for nothing
usually has little worth.
Success is not measured alone
by what a man accomplishes, hut
by the opposition he has encount
ered and the courage with which
he has kept up the struggle for
success against overwhelming)
IJUUS.
Its going to work the knockers
awfully hard to keep up for the
next few months. The legislature
and the tax collector will both re
sume operations in a few weeks.
_
The Gazette is still doing its
best to keep Arkansas as wet as
possible. It carried about a half
iozen pages of whiskey adverti
ng last Sunday.
At any rate, Dr. Green is get
:ing quite a lot of free advertising
aut of the squabble over the su
perintendencv of the state insane
asylum.

The Journal is always ready to
sing the praises of Newark; but’
lets make it a chorus instead of a
solo. _
Save a little money and thereby
save a lot of worry.
POULTRY RAISING
U. S. DEPT. ACRICULTURE
The southern farmer, by virtue .
of his location and climate, is
splendidly situated for the produc
tion of fowls and eggs. The mild
winters and early springs make the
production of eggs an easy matter
when prices are high.
On many farms throughout the
country the money derived from
the sale of poultiy and eggs buys ;
the groceries and clothing for the !
entire family. Every southern
farmer can do as well, and should
aim to keep at least 50 hens for
laying purposes and home con
sumption. Select some of the
American breeds, such as the Ply
mouth Rocks, Wyundottes, or the
Rhode Island Reds. The Orping
tons are also a good general pur
pose breed.
On almost any farm there can
be fitted up at very little cost, a
poultry house that will answer all
the purposes of more expensive
buildings for keeping poultry. The
essentials to success in housing are
fresh air, sunshine, a dry floor, and
a building that is free from drafts.
Poultry raising should be a
profitable feature of the work on
every Southern farm.
