Billy Sunday On Alcohol.
Alccho) knocks the Dlood corpus
cles out of business so that it takes
eight or ten to do what one ought
to do.
There’s a man who drinks.
Here’s a fellow who drives a beer
wagon. Look how pussy he is.
He’s full of rotten tissue. He says
he’s healthy. Smell his breath.
You punch your finger in that
healthy flesh he talks about and
the dent will be there a half an
hour afterwards. You look like
you don't believe it. Try it when
you go to bed tonight. Pneumonia
has a first mortgage on a booze
fighter.
Take a fellow with good, healthy
muscles, and you will punch them
and they will bound out like a rub
ber band.

strawberry stomach is a crushed
strawberry nose. Nature lets the
public on the outside know what is
going on inside.
If 1 could just take the stomach
of a moderate drinker and turn it
wrong side out for you. it would be j
all the temperence lecture you
would need.
You know what alcohol does to
the white of an egg? It will cook
it in a few minutes. Well, alcohol
does the same things to the nerves
as the white of an egg. That’s
why some men can’t walk. They
stagger because their nerves are
partly paralyzed.
The liver is the largest organ of
the body. It takes all the blood in
the body and purifies i'- and
takes out the. poisons and passes
them onto the gall, and from there
they go to the intestines and act
like oil on machinery.
When a man drinks, the liver be
comes covered with hob-nails and
then refuses to do the work and
the poisons stay in the blood. Then
the victim begins to turn yellow.
J-fe has the jaundice. The kidneys
take what is left and purify that.
The booze that a man drinks turn
them hard.
That's what booze is doing for
you. Isn't it time you went red
hot after the enemy?
I'm trying to helD you. I’m try
ing to put a carpet on your floor,
pull the pillows out of the window,
give you and your children, and
wife good clothes.
I’m trying to get you to save
your money instead of buying a
machine for the saloonkeeper while
you have to hotfoot it.
By the grace of God I have
strength enough to pass the open
saloon, but some of you can't so I
owe to you to help you.

Having a Sense of Humor.
Back in the days of the old New
Haven Colony, a certain estimable
clergyman. Samuel A. Peters by
name, introduced what have since
come to be known as the "Blue
Laws.” According to this code, a
mother could not kiss her child on
the Sabbath; housewives could not
cook, sweep or make beds on the
Sabbath; men were not allowed to
shave on the Lord's Day, and the
law even decreed how they should
trim their hair. Married persons
were compelled to live together or
to go to jail.
History, however, throws some
light on Mr. Peters' case. He was
born, it appears, before his time.
He was a humorist, but the stern
New England fathers couldn’t un
derstand his humor. He drafted
the blue laws as a joke. His code
was intended as a satire on the
Puritanic laws then in existence.
He meant to reduce the Blue Laws
ad absurdom. But, ah! the irony
of fate. The straight-laced magis
trates of those narrow and bigoted
days interpreted his “laws” liter
ally, and enforced them literally.
To them, ungifted with the saving
grace of humor, the laws were rea
sonable and good.
We ha>'e made some progress
since then, but there are too many
earnest reformers of the present
day, who, like the old New Eng
landers, lack a sense of humor.
They take themselves and all the
world too seriously, and it is these
later-day Puritans who are respon
sible for much of the foolish and
unnecessary legislation with which
the country has been burdened.

Value of Manue.
Few farmers appreciate the mon
ey value of a load of barn yard ma
nure or the value of the excrement
of an animal. Authorities say that
the value of the manure from a
horse or mule for one year is about
$23.00, from a cow $29.50, from
a hog $2.55, from one hundred
hens almost $7.00, if all could be
saved. The extension forces of
the stat^and government are mak
ing a great campaign to get farmers
to save manure and increase the
supply. More straw should be used
for bedding in stalls. If straw can't
be had leaves may be brought from
the woods. One Arkansas farmer
writes the college that he hauled
leaves from the woods last winter
and covered three feet deep a small
yard where he kept six cows, four
calves and six sows. He also used
leaves for bedding in his stalls and
had eighty loads of manure.

The rendt rs ot this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally
and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous
Surfaces of the System thereby de
stroying the foundation of the disease,
giving the patient strength by building
up the constitution and assisting na
ture in doing it# work. The proprie
tors have so much faith in the curative
powers of Hall's Catarrh Cure that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list
of testimonials.

Send for Bulletins.
Thoughful farmers should plan
to study agricultural bulletins this
winter. They are printed by the
government and by the College cf
Agriculture and will be sent free
for the asking. Write the Dean of
the Extension Division, University
of Arkansas at Fayetteville and tell
him what agricultural or home study
you are interested in and he will be
glad to write you and send bulletins
on any subject of interest to farm
ers or farm women or the boys and
girls. _

leit Reasons for Prepardness.
Commodore J. Stuart Blackton.
author of the photo-play “The Bat- j
tie Cry of Peace,” and leader of the ;
“preparedness” movement in the
United States, has evolved ten rea
sons why the United States should
prepare for war now. They are:
1. Because the preservation of
our country, our liberty and our
homes demands it.
2. Because by preparing now
we will save our mothers, sisters,
wives and daughters unutterable
shame and suffering.
3. Because geographically we
are no longer inaccessible to for
eign countries. Progress has re
duced the size of the Atlantic or
Pacific oceans to one-half the size
of Lake Michigan.
4. Because every American cit
izen is strictly accountable to his
goverment in time of need.
5. Because every sane, con
sciencious human being is against
War and for Peace and prepared
ness makes for peace.
6. Because, as a peaceful na
tion, we must not only be cham
pains of peace and the laws of hu
manity, but we must have the pow
er to enforce those laws the pow
er to insure that peace.
7. Because not to be prepared
s to send our eons and brothers
ind friends to certain daughter as
'cannon fodder.”
8. Because to prepare half
heartedly is like saying “God bless
you—to a certain extent.”
9. Because preparedness is a
“call to arms against war.”
10. Because the way to spell
peace is by the good, new. phonetic
way p-o-w-e-r.

Forage Crops for
Arkansas
Eight Studies in Supplementary
Farm Feeds.
KDITOK’S X«TB.
The Extension Division of the Uni
versity of Arkansas, in co-operation
with the United States Department of
Agriculture, will offer this year,
through this paper, a free correspond
ence course in Forage Crops as ap
plied to Arkansas conditions, edited
by W. C. Uasseter, assistant director
Co-operative Extension Work for Ar
kansas. These lessons will appear in
this paper at intervals of six weeks.
The articles will be written in the same
logical order of treatment that would
he followed in the preparation of a
bulletin. Those who wish to take this
course should write to the Director of
Extension of the University of Arkan
sas, Fayetteville, stating name, age.
occupation, and a word about his or
her general education, and stating that
he (or she) proposes to carry the work
through for the eight lessons. A farm
ers’ bulletin will he sent to supple
ment each lesson, provided a question
blank be sent hack covering points in i
each lesson. These blanks will he sent
with each bulletin. The studies in
Forage Crops will include: (1) Classes t
of Forage Crops, 4 2 > Alfalfa, (3) Clo
vers, (4) Pasture and Hay Classes. (R)
The Sorghums, (6) Peas and Beans. (7)
Silage, and (8) Curing ami Saving Hav.
—J. H. Miller, Director Co-operative
Extension Work.
I. CLASSES OF FORAGE CROPS.
Any vegetable matter fresh or cured
eaten by live stork such as hay, grain
fodder, or silage is included in the
class of forage and those crops grown
primarily for that purpose are known
as forage crops. Whenever a cereal
crop is grown for hay, pasture, or sil
age it too is called a forage cror.
Every farm maintains a few head of
live stock for which it is necessary
to provide feed. The most successful
men are growing the feed at home to
avoid the necessity of buying.
One-half of the total acreage of
American forage plants consists or ti
mothy and clovers, but the greatest
amount of roughage is produced from
corn. Over five million acres of alfal
fa are now being grown in the United
States. Much wheat, oats, rye, millet,
sorghum arhd Sudan grass are grown
for rough forage. Cow peas, soy bean
the clovers, and many tame grasses
such as Bermuda, orchard grass, red
top, and crab grass are grown to a
considerable extent for hay and pas
ture. In addition to all of the above
there are more than seventeen million
acres left to wild grasses. Forage in
the United States exceeds in value
that of all other crops.
Legumes, while not grown so ex
tensively as grasses, are more valua
ble, pound for pound, because they al
most uniformly have a higher protein
nr flesh forming content than other
crops. Of more than one hundred le
gumes comparatively few are of agri
cultural value in Arkansas.
The grasses are either annual like
sorghum, millet, or Sudan grass, or
perennial like orehard grass. Bermu
ia, or Johnson grass. The roots of
rrasses are very small and usuallv
live for only one season. As compared
with other crops grass seeds do not
tave a high germinating powoi.
The class of forage crops known a
cgunics includes peas, beans, alfalfa,
■lovers, vetches, and many others
riiis forms a most important agricu!
ural class of plants in that most of
ts members have the ability to use
Tee nitrogen taken from the atmos
phere by the aid of certain bacteria
hat forms nodules on the roots. Very
'ew other plants and none of agricul
ural value in Arkansas have this
ibility. These facts have been known
inly for a comparatively short time.
That the nodules on the roots of
these plants contained bacteria was
not discovered until 1R6R. and it was
no* until 1RR7 that Hellriegel demon
strated that leguminous plants could
utilize atmospheric nitrogen by aid of
these bacteria in the root nodules, it
was knowh even before Christ that
the growing of certain legumes help
ed succeeding crops, but the reason
was not known until the recent dis
coveries.
The organism rauslng (he nodules
on leguminous plants occurs in many
different forms because in only few
instances has it seemed possible to
Inoculate one crop with the organ
isms from another. According to Pi
per the only proven case of this Is

irganlsms from the other.
The root nodules on various le
nimes vary widely in size, shape and
ihundance. On most clovers they
ire small, globular and oftentimes
•luh shaped. On alfalfa they are
isuallv some longer and oftentimes
nore branched. On vetches they are
,’erv much hranehed and often fan
diaped. On cowpeas, peanuts, an.I
nost beans they aro irregularly glol
liar and solid. The soy bean nodules
ire also globular, hut have raised
•idges on the surface. It is said that
he velvet bean sometimes has no
lules as large as a baseball. Some of
he leguminous crops of Arkansas, a!
alfa for example, aro dependent upon
he presence of the nodule organisms
or their successful growth. While
ither legumes will do well on fertile
ioils without the presence of the or
rantsms, experiments show the pres
ence of the organism is beneficial to
he crop.
Many people have the mistaken idea

BACK IN 1900.
15 YEARS ago a little furniture store'«as opened at 121
North Second St., Monroe. La. Through the full fifteen years it
has progressed and prospered until today it occupies four big
floors 70 x 150. and besides commanding an enviable position in
the merchandising affairs of Monroe, it is recognized far and
wide as one of the leading furniture stores of the state.
Occupying its own building, and thus having no rent to pay.
The Monroe Furniture Co., gives its customers, of which it num
bers thousands, the very maximum value for the money in every
instance. Fifteen years experience in buying and selling furni
ture. carpets and home furnishings has taught us what our cus
tomers want and where to obtain it for them. Our furniture
goes into a majority of the HOMES of this section; it furnishes
comfort to the home of the well-to do business man or
planter, and it answers the need of the working man's cottage.
No matter what may be the size of your pocketbook you will
find what you want and save money on it.
