BONDS CONTRACTED FOR
BY FT. SMITH CONCERN
Bonds Let Saturday on Contract
to Ciunter & Alexander to be
Approved Later
The bonds for the building of
concrete sidewalks were awarded
on a contract to Gunter & Alex
ander, of Ft. Smith, Saturday by
the committee who has charge of
the work. The committee also
awarded the contract for putting
down the walks to Couch it Ken
erdye, of Hoxie, after their bond
had been approved.
The work will be started within
the next 30 days and it is estimat
ed they will be completed within
60 or 90 days from the time actual
construction begins.
After these walks are put in, it
is safe to say that they will en
hance the value of property along
the streets traversed at least twen
ty-five or fifty- per cent. The
Journal predicts that it will only
be a matter time until a more and
better system of walks will be
built along other streets that are
badly in need of them.

FARMERS DEMONSTRATION
WORK IN THE SOUTH
Secretary of Agriculture Sites a
Notable Example of What
Can be Done
Washington, July 13. The Sec
retary of Agriculture is much in
terested in reports of the success
of the educational work among
farmers inaugurated by the Unit
ed States Department of Agricul
ture under the organization
known as the Farmers Co-operat
ive Demonstration Work. He
says that the secret of this success
(if it is a secret) lies in the fact
that so many men of local promi
nence and influence are found
throughout the sections where this
work is carried on who through
unselfish motives are willing to
sacrifice their personal interests if
necessary in order to promote the
general good of the communities
in which they live.
A notable example of this altru
istic spirit is shown in the instance
of a demonstration agent for one
of the populous counties of aver
age area in southeastern Texas
whose pratice of the principles of
good farming as laid down by the
Department covers a period of
three years. In the midst of boll
weevil territory this agent, in 1911
produced lot bales of cotton, net
ting him $1,237, on l<s acres; and
his corn averaged 75 bushels to
the acre. While to devote his
time to the work of demonstra
tion of farming methods among
his neighbors involves consider
able sacrifce in a monetary sense,
he states his willingness to make
this sacrifice because to quote his
words, “1 am deepiy interested in
the work and know that our peo
ple will be greatly benefited. I
want to assist in pulling out of the
rut hundreds of people who now
barely make a living by robbing
the land that refuses to be robbed
any longer.”
The influence of this demonsta
tion work upon the rising genera
tion of young people is most mark
ed. The agent herein referred to
has a son, 17 years of age, who,
inspired by his father’s example,
won first prize in variety contests
and also sweepstakes prize over
all, in competition with other boys
of his own and two adjoining
counties. At the state fair last
fall the same boy first prize in the
variety class and second prize in
sweepstakes, in a state-wide com
i petition. In a contest before the
Texas Industrial Congress last
winter he was awarded a prize of
$100 for having produced 9d 1-3
bushels of corn on an acre of
ground and for the production of
11-1 bales of cotton on an acre.
Doth father and son attribute
their success entirely “to the close
application of instructions” sent
! out by the Department of Agri
' culture.
PRESENT LAWS ARE IN
CONFLICT WITH BIBLE
Was Never Intended by Creator
That Land Should be 5old
to Anyone L'orever
Editor Newark Journal:
If any person doubts or thinks
that a law of limit is unjust or un
wise, he should read the twenty
fifth chapter of Leviticus, especi
ally verses 10, 23 and 31.
Verse 10 says: “And ye shall
hallow the fiftieth year and pro
claim liberty throughout the land
and unto all the inhabitants there
of. It shall be a jubilee unto you
and you shall return every man
unto his family.”
Verse 23: “The land shall not
be sold forever, for the land is
mine, for ye are strangers and so
journ with me.”
Verse 31: “But the houses of
the villages which have no walls
around them shall be counted as
the fields of the county. They
may be redeemed and they shall
go out in the jubilee.”
According to this law revealed
to Moses by the Creator of land
and the first owner of it, no man
has a lawful title to land for more
than fifty years and it then reverts
back to the original owner. A
man cannot lawfully convey more
title than he has.
A title obtained by force in any
manner is not a good title. To
ignore almost a whole chapter
means that we might as well ig
nore the whole of the Mosiac law.
If this question should be passed
upon by the supreme court of the
United States, or any other coun
try that recognizes a Creator, fhe
Bible and the Mosiac law as a
cornerstone or foundation princi
ples in government and law-mak
ing, that court would have to say
that the people have overstepped
their intentions and authority in
making laws that permit land to
be sold, forever, or for longer than
fifty years. The Creator, or first
owner, gave us only that kind of
a title and we cannot add to it un
less we ignore the Bible and the
Mosiac law.
