SUGGESTION TO TEACHERS
The Independence County
Teachers Association meets in
Batesville tomorrow, and The Jour
nal wants to respectfully suggest
to the teachers that they take up
and discuss some plan, or plans, of
getting the boys and girls of Inde
pendence county interested in the
com growing and poultry raising
contests.
Especially would we urge upon
them the importance of enlisting
the boys in the corn growing con
test, because of the importance of
this branch of farming in our
county.
Farming is the most important
industry we have in Independence
county, and it is a matter of only a
few years until the farmer boys of
today will be the active managers;
of this industry. They must pro
duce the necessaries of life,not only
for themselves but those engaged
in all other occupations. They can
not be too well prepared to handle
the responbilities and burdens that
will rest upon their shoulders.
The best part of any man’s ed
ucation is the knowledge of how
to make a life, instead of how to
make a living. The man who is
not equipped to enter some line of
work and make his labors yield a
return amply sufficient for his sus
tenance, with some to spare, is not
in position to make a life in the
true sense of the word—he is only
a slave, swapping his time and one
talent for a mere existence. Such
a man is not equipped for making
a life, and can no more do so than
the wren can ascend to the heights
of the eagle.
The youth of our country needs
industrial training, as well as book
learning, in order that their labors
will yield them sufficient income
to live with more ease.
The average yield of corn in Ar
kansas is only about 20 bushels
per acre, and the average yield of
cotton less than a half a bale. The
problem we want to help the farm
er boy solve is how to double this
yield. All over the state, the fann
er boys who are members of the
Boys Corn Clubs are growing from
75 to 150 bushels of corn per acre.
Get the boys properly interested
in the matter and the will solve
the problem.
The Journal makes vhese sug
gestions with a sincere aesire to be j
helpful, and we hope the teachers j
will take them and act upon them
in the spirit in which they are |
given.
The man who can touch a boy’s j
ambition and arouse it to action
has vastly benefitted the boy, and
through him may influence hund
reds of other lives. Of course not
every boy who enters the contests
will make a success, but man^ of
them will, and the result will prove
beneficial, not only to the boys,
but to our county generally.

For be»4&«b* Dr UUW Aiut-Vi»ln
Dr. MLUea' AnU-Pstla Pills rfeUevtt pa:c
Representative Baker has intro
duced a proposed amendment to
the constitution providing for the
exemption of $300 worth of per
' sonal property from taxation. The
Journal does not favor such a law
for the reason that it would ex
empt practically the entire negro
population of the state from taxa
tion. A certain candidate for gov
ernor a few years ago advocated
such a law and it proved very un
popular. The small tax-payer does
not want to be exempt from help
ing to maintain the state govern
ment, and the negro does not de
serve to be exempt.
The Osceola Times’ suggestion
that Mississippi county pays more
taxes than Independence county is
correet, but it is not due to a high
rate of assessment. The assessed
value of nearly all property is
higher in this than in Mississippi
county, but Mississippi has a larg
er landed area, more railroads,
more town lots and more poll tax
payers than Independence county.
Do not forget that you are a
member of society and that you
and your neighbors are jointly re
sponsible for the welfare of your
community. If progress is not be
f t made in education and social
purity, bear your part of the re
sponsibility for negligence and do
your duty in bringing about an
evolution.—Farm and Ranch.
Speak kindly to the other fellow.
He may not come up to your ideal,
but he is striving to reach an ideal.
He has his troubles and trials and
burdens and a kind word will
make his pathway much smoother.
Smile at him. Smile to him. Not a
sneering smile, but a happy en
couragning smile. Try it awhile
and see how it works.
The extension of the legislature
for 65 days will make this one of
the longest sessions in the history
of the state. We hope the solons
will get busy now, and give the
people something in return for
their money.
We wonder what has become of
the Hon. G. L. Grant’s bill to re
duce street car fares to three cents?
That’s a very important measure
and should not be lost sight of.

FAniLIES INTER-MARRIED
The double marriage of Mr. W.
T. Fine and Mrs Mary Swindle and
Mr. James Swindle and Miss Mary
Fine all of Bird Township was sol
emnized Sunday by Rev. G. W.
West and the relations of the con
tracting parties will give the puz
zle man of the comic papers some
thing to work upon in figuring out
all the entangling ties.
Mr. Fine has married Mr. Swin
{ die’s mother and Mr. Swindle has
married Mr. Fine’s daughter. The
father, Mr. Fine, thus becomes the
girl’s father-in-law and stepfather j
while Mrs. Fine becomes her own
son’s motber-in-law and step-moth
er.—Newport Independent.

The
I Telephone
Don’t add to vour troubles
the inconvenience of doing
without a Telephone.
There is no department of
business, professional or in
dustrial life in which it is not
an essential part.
No community, however
small, can enjoy the full ad
vantages of modern life with
out including the Telephone.
By its use to the needs of
humanity it has proved its
claims to rank as one of the
necessaries of life.
The farmer who wants to
make his farm more profit
able and life more pleasant
I for his family should have a
j I Telephone in his home.
