Now, that the election is over,
let's bend our energies toward se
curing a flour mill for Newark.
It may be easier for the air ship
inventors to make an air ship than
to find persons willing to ride in
them. __________
All themes for political discus
sion are not necessarily dead. Jeff
Davis is a candidate for United
States senator.
One very effective way to keep
the world's population from in
creasing too fast is for the people
to take to automobiling.
An exchange has just discovered
that “red rum” spelled backwards
makes “murder” and bases a long
temperance lecture thereupon.
And Col. Myers, who seemed to
believe he was running Governor
Davis a neck-and-neck race, was
only defeated about 40,000 votes!
The congressional election is yet
to be held. What a pity we can't
consolidate state and national
elections and do the whole job in
one day. _
it may be a little early to say
it, but of all the men mentioned
for governor two years hence Col.
George \Y. Murphy is by far the
best man for the position.
Many of the old time democrats
became disgusted with the ring
methods of the county central
committee and refused to go to the
1>o11n last Monday, lienee a com
paratively light vote was polled at
this place.
The elect ion is over at last and
the man who failed to get his
choice may console himself to
some extent by sitting down on a
stump in the woods and “cussing”
a little, provided he gets a safe
distance from the public road.
The Journal would like to chron
icle the fact that some enterprising
citizen had built a sidewalk in
front of his premises, and promise
the first citizen who does this pro
gressive act that we will write up
the event in a double leaded
article with a scare head a foot
long.
Young Plants
Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that’s the way with
children. They are like young ,
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
a id strong while others stay
small and weak.
Scott’s Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
< >f food, but because the food
does not feed.
Scott’s Emulsion really feeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow—
Scott’s Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right.

The customary eulogy of Groyer
Cleveland failed to apirenr in the
Sharp County Record last week.
Try laying a dead cat by your
desk. Brother Coger, when you
want to write of Uncle Grover.
We never tried it, but it might
help to generate thought along
that line and would at least keep
your ideas of Uncle Grover from
smelling so stale.
INCREASING TOO FAST.
According to the statement of
Dr. E. Bnnjamin Andrews at the
University of Chicago, mouths in
crease faster than the food sup
ply, and if there were not wars,
famines and plagues to decimate
the races, in time the population
of the world would starve to
death.
lie also declared that at the
present rate of increase of popu
lation of the earth the population
would he so great in 300 years
that every square yard of the
earth’s surface, land, water and
all, would contain four persons.
However, he thought that it was
likely that the same causes would
tend to keep down the over-pop
ulation of the globe in the future
as in the past.
.vioutus increase | luster man
the food supply,’* said Dr. An
drews. “This, in short, is the
Mallhus theory, and while I criti
cise Multhus on many points in
substance his theory is right.
Statistics show that the popula
tion increases at an alarming rate
and that were it not foi the dcri
mating processes of wars, dis
eases and famines, the world
would soon become oven rowded
with people. It has been shown
that the population of the world
doubles every lifty years.
“One of the peculiar things
about the rapid increase in popu
lation is that as more mouths
come forth to be fed foodstuffs
seems to become higher. I have
not the least doubt that foods will
lie higher in the future than they
are now. 1 Uo not think that
meatsuffs will ever lie -is cheap
as they have been before. Meats
will cost more in spite of the tael
that probably tile future popula
tion considered .is a whole will be j
less able to buy them than they
are now.
“How to keep down the popu
lation of the globe and keep the
earth from becoming overcrowd
ed with people is a great prob
lem. There must be checks put
on the inciease in our numbers.
There might be two methods—one
called the privitive and one the
positive method. By the positive
method wo mean by wars and dis
eases and if necessary by immor
al means, but this will not do.
The only way, then, is by privi
vile means, or, in other words,
by preventive methods. This pri
vitive method must also be a
moral one. The problem of keep
ing down the population is before
some nations touay and will soon
lie a problem in the United States.
Some men ought to devote their
lives to working out this prob
lem.”
Notice of Examination.
Notice it* hereby given that there
will be a public examination of
teachers at liatesville, Ark., on the
18th and lUth days of September,
1U02, to ascertain the professional
qualifications of all persons desir
ing to teach in the public schools
of Independence county.

CHICKENS ON THE FARM
According to Amount of Trouble
They ore Most Profitable
Farm Product.
There fire many reason* why
poultry raising can ho made pro
fitable on a farm, One very im
portant reason is that all the food
necessary to raise chickens is
grown on the farm, ready for use.
A great part of the living of a
chicken can he picked up and es
pecially is this true where cattle
are fed extensively. Much of the
chicken’s living is made from
things that would otherwise go to
waste. The insects that might he
very bothersome indeed serve for
old Biddy’s relish. All farm ani
mals, to thrive well, need some
shelter from winter’s storms and
summer’s heat. This is one of
ihe most expeusive items iu the
care of horses or dairy animals,
hut with all kinds of poultry a
very small shelter will accommo
date a large number. Just along
the same line comes the thought
of enclosures. All other animals
have to lie fenced iu to keep them
at home <>i in the right place at
home, while the poultry can roam
over the whole farm.
Another great thing m favor of
poultry raising is the comparative
ease with which it can be done.
Think a minute of the drudgery
necessary in making a pound of
butter for sale, and then compare
that with the labor required in
marketing a dozen eggs which
would give the same returns. To
be sure, there is a time in ihe
year when closest attention is
needed to make a success of rais
ing poultry of any kind, but when
that time is over the marketing
of poultry or. gathering in the
eggs is very easily done and re
quires no great amount of time.
There must be some way of
stopping the little leaks in the
family poekotbook if farming is
to be made successful, and the
poultry and eggs to take to town
is just the right thing to stop that
leak. If the egg and chicken
money pays all the living expen
ses, money from the sale of other
produce can he used to great ad
vantage somewheie else. Poul
try brings in teturns all the time,
every week in the year, just as
the family need it. Many cases
might be cited wliete farmers’
wives have paid all the living ex
penses of largo families simply
by the poultry sale.
One of the greatest reasons whv
poultiy raising is piofitable on
the fsi in is because the eggs and
chickens help the farmer’s wife
in preparing the meals. Nothing
we can raise on the farm is more
valuable as food than eggs. Noth
ing conti ihutes more to the farm
er’s good appetite than good fiied
chicken in hot weather when other
fresh meat cannot be obtained.

A Sad Disappointment.
Ineffective liver medicine is a
disappointment, but you don't
want to purge, strain and break
the glands of the stomach and
bowels. DeWitt's Little Early
Risers neve disappoint They
cleanse the system of all poison
and putrid matter and do it so
gently that one enjoys the pleas
ant effects- They are a tonic to
the liver. Cure biliousness, torpid
liver and prevent fever. J. 1.

The Unvarnished Truth.
An exchange says: An editor
recently announced that for just
one is«ue he would tell the truth,
the whole truth, naked and un
varnished. That is the truth was
naked and tin varnished. Here is
one item from that issue of his
paper: Married—Miss Sylvia
Smith to James Caruhum, last
Saturday at the baptist parson
age. The bride is a very ordi
nary girl about town who doesn’t
know any more than a rabbit
about cooking, and never helped
her poor mother three days in
her life. She is not a beauty by
a long shot, and has a gait like a
fat duck. The groom is known
as an up-to-date loafer* and has
been living off of his poor old
mother all of his life, and don’t
amount to anything. They will
have a tough time of it, and we
vvith-hold congratulations, for we
don’t believe any good can come
from such a marriage.”
Lingering Summer Colds.
Don’t let a cold run at this sea
son. Summer colds are the hard
est kind to cure and if neglected
may linger along for months. A
long siege like this will pull down
the strongest constitution. One
Minute Cough Cure will break up
the attack at once. Safe, sure,
acts at once. Cures coughs, colds,
croup, bronchitis, all throat and
lung troubles. The child ten like
it. J. I. Sturdivant.
Patents at Cut Prices.
In order to keep huisy during the
summer, Swift & Co., the prompt
and proper patent lawyers, oppo
site U. S. Patent Office, Wash
ington, I). (’., have made a hig
cut in the price for obtaining
patents, inventors who desire
to save money and get the best
work should write them while the i
cut prices prevails.

The Triumph of Economy as Well
as of Art.
This combination is the cause, and the important cause, of
the wonderful popularity of the Kimball Pianos and Organs.
35,000 per year are not sufficient to supply the demand, as
the Kimball Company is several thousand orders behind In
shipments and is planning further large additions to “the
Greatest Factory in existence.”
What else could create the prodigious growth which “The
Kimball” has attained, than that the instruments are the acme
of perfection and in the cost to manufacture and to sell are a
triumph of economy not possible to competition. I he incon
sistency of prejudice and carping criticism must make way for
well-earned reputatiod and such advancing progress.
WTe solicit inquriesof all kinds concerning Pianos and Organs
their prices, terms of payment or otherwise. We will promptly
and satisfactorily serve every requirement.
