Value of Good Roads
Becomes More Apparent
Each year the value and im
portance of good roads becomes
more manifest to every intelli
gent farmer.
1 he expense of the crop is
not finished with the harvest.
The farmer must get his cotton
or his corn, or his wheat, or
whatever he has raised, to the
market. It is a matter of im
portance to him to reach the
railroad station at the least
possible expense.
That means that in order to
reduce this item of expense, we
niust have better roads.
^ ou do not waste money in
improving your roads, but
where money is wasted is in
neglecting your roads, paying
.Voui taxes or employing vour
labor unwisely orineffectively.
T here are two road expen
ses: The building of the road
tirst and the maintenance of
the road. It cannot be too often
repeated that good roads are
not luxuries; they are necessi
ties. and to have the best roads
at the least possible cost you
must have the work done in
telligently.
If you do not attend to your
roads, your officer will not.
U atch and complain. Use the
roads and then report to the
proper authorities, and if you
have not got any proper au
thorities,get together with your
neighbors and discuss your own
special problems and work out
some form of relief.
Land owners will find the
lands in a country of bad roads
steadily depreciate; thev are
less valuable than lands else
where, because the net result
to the man who tills them is
less in a country of bad roads
than in a country of good roads.
This is perhaps, on most
Southern farms,the very busiest
time of all the year, but in our
rush to keep up with the work I
let’s not forget that the farm
boy who has worked hard all
the week deserves Saturday
afternoon off. He will be the
better for a good game of base
ball or a frolic in the old swim
ming hole. By all means teach
your boy that there is no suc
cess without hard labor; but at
the same time don’t forget that
a fifteen-hour day from Mon
day morning until Saturday
night has been known to make
boys look for a job elsewhere.
—Progressive Farmer.
It is not what you know that
makes a noise in the world. It
is the use to which you put
your knowledge.
The Gazette's Wail
About Pardon Publicity
The greatest wail that ever
came from a “great” newspa
per was that sent up a few
days ago by the Gazette, “the
State’s Bleeding Loosepaper,”
when Gov. Hays refused to de
signate the Gazette as the pa
per in which applications for
pardons should be published.
The Gazette pretended that
it was very much interested in
the matter of having Gov.Hays
give publicity to applications
for pardons. But the Gazette
has fully proven to the entire
satisfaction of everybody that
the only thing the Gazette is
interested in is more revenue
for the Gazette. That paper
does not care one whit about
“publicity for pardons” unless
the publicity is given through
the Gazette at so much per.
When it comes to principle
and character, the only thing
that is recognized by the Ga
zette is expressed in the simple
little character, $.
When it comes to the spirit
of greed and comercialism,
there is probably no other pa
per in the entire South in the
same class with the Gazette.
That paper was never known
to favor anything, no matter
what its scope or purpose, un
less it though it meant a profit
for the Gazette.
Not only is the spirit of al
truism an absolute stranger to
the Gazette, but not since
Aesop wrote his famous fable
of the sour grapes has the real
spirit of that incident been so
strikingly and vividly displayed
as has been done by the Ga
zette in this matter of “publi
city for pardons.”
A town that never has any
thing to do in a public way, is
on the way to the cemetery.
Any citizen who will do noth
ing for his town is helping to
dig it’s grave. A man that cur
ses the town furnishes the cof
fin. The man who is so selfish
as to have no time from his
business to give to, city affairs
is making the shroud. The man
who will not advertise is driv
ing the hearse. The man who is
always pulling back from any
public enterprise throws bou
quets on the grave. The man
who is so stingy as to be howl
ing hard times, preaches the
funeral and sings the doxology,
and thus the town lies buried
from all sorrow and care.

We lack only a few acres having suffi

only a few more contracts. Better hurry
if you want in on a good thing.
Now let’s get busy with the planting
and cultivation. Be honest and give the
tomatoes the same attention you give cot

over whelmingly satisfied with results.

About thirty-six cars of ber
ries have been shipped from
Batesville this season. Berry
growing has proven profitable
to those farmers who gave it
proper attention. Many of our
farmers north of Newark are
anxious to get the berry move
ment started here, since the
fact has been demonstrated
that berries can be profitably
grown in this county. A little
concerted action among the
farmers right now will get re
sults. Let somebody take the
lead and get things started.
Don’t forget that flies and
mosquitoes are dangerous.
Don’t let them breed if you
can help it, and insure the fam
ily against the diseases they
carry by screening all doors
and windows. A few dollars
spent now may save sickness,
doctor’s bills, and possibly the
life of some member of your
family.
The annual school election
will be held next Saturday.This
is one of the most important
elections we have, and every
voter who is interested in good
schools should go out and vote
next Saturday.
Did you ever pick up a hand
ful of fine, dry sand, and watch
it dribble throughyourfingers?
That’s the way trade drifts
away from the merchant who
never advertises.
Next to meeting somebody
who admires someone that we
admire we all like to meet
someone who hates someone
we hate, observestheTexarkan

THE STATE SUNDAY
SCHOOL CONVENTION
To the Sunday School Work
ers of Independence County:
For some months past, we
have had no general secretary
of our state association,and the
work seemingly has been at a
standstill.
Recently, however, our ex
ecutive committee secured the
services of Frank L. James,for
merly a pastor at Little Rock,
but who for some time past has
been engaged in Sunday school
work at Atlanta, Georgia.
He comes to us recommend
ed as a Sunday school expert
and enthusiast.
An excellent program has
been prepared for the state
convention at Hope, June 6-8.
The principal speaker will be
Prof. Walter S. Athearn, Prof
essor of Religious Education.
Drake University, Des Moines,
Iowa. The remainder of the
work is assigned to workers of
our own state. The railroads
have agreed to give a special
rate of one and one-third fares
for the round trip.
The registration fee will be
fifty cents for which sum the
delegates will receive a souve
nir program, a convention song
book, a convention badge and
a year’s subscription to the Ar
kansas Sunday School Herald.
I am hoping that Indepen
dence county wlil do its part in
making this convention what it j
ought to be.
Yours in the Master’sService,
