That Counts
You don’t buy a wagon often,
and when you buy you want
one that will give you full val
ue for the money you invest.
The Birdseil Wagons
are the best made. They are
made for hard service and are
worth the money. Come and
look them over and get prices.

THE JOURNAL

The Newark lour^a*
I'UP.LISIIKD EVERY FRIDAY
O. F. Craig. Editor
Entered at the post office at Newark,
Arkansas, as second class mail matter
TEACH Mt ANYTHING?—
NOT ON YOL K TINTYPE!
The Quorum Court, which is
composed principally of farmers
| refused to make an appropriation
for continuing the agricultura
| demonstration work in this coun
ty, doubtless on the theory that
you can’t teach a farmer anything
about farming.
This idea is today the world’s
greatest hindrance to the progress
and success of the average work
man in any and all trades.
When the average workman
has served a few years at a trade
or has just about finished an ap
prenticeship, and reached the
point where he could really begir
to learn, he takes it as an insull
to his intelligence if one offers i
helpful suggestion, or intimates
that he is lacking in proficiency, oi
that there is anything else he coulc
| learn.
The greatest drawback to the
majority of people is their unwill
ingness to be taught. This does not
apply alone to farmers, but tc
nearly all classes of people.
If the government should offei
to send an expert printer to Inde
pendence county to give fret
demonstrations and instructions in
printing, we doubt very much it
he would be sent if it were left tc
a vote of the printers of the coun
ty. We say this because we are a
printer and Know its true.
Let a veteran in any trade offer
a helpful suggestion to a junior,
and see the junior’s offended dig
nity swell up like a poisoned pup,
If he doesn’t treat it with silent
contempt, his answer will usually
be: “T’ell wid yer advice: don’t
you s’pose I known what I’m doin?’
It was not expected that the
middle-aged or the old men would
receive any benefit, or be taught
anything, from the farm demon
stration work—they are Solomons
in their line already. Some of
them have been farming for 2C
years-with a one-horse turning
plow and a Georgia stock—and
are still using them.
It is not expected that this sort
of folks will be benefitted by any
kind of educational movement.
They are entirely too wise tc
fool away time on such nonsense
as “book farmin.”
To them, its a waste of time and
too much trouble to study seed
selection. They know when they
want to grow corn they must not
plant gourd seed, and they know
that pumpkins do not grow on
grape vines. When the season?
are just right they can grow 2c
bushels of com or half a bale ol
cotton to the acre and when the
rains don’t come just right cuss
the weather and blame Providence
for their failure.
liut tnere are boys ana young
men to be taught, and who are yet
willing to learn. Some of these,
i in different parts of the state, un
der instructions from the govern
ment agents, have'produced 80 to
125 bushels of corn per acre, on
land their daddies had been grow
ing 15 to 30 bushels on. This
feature of the work has been neg
lected in Independence county,
but this could have been remedied
i very easily, and it should have
been done, instead of cutting off
the appropriation,
j The old farmers have lost noth
i :ng. Most of them are too wise to
learn anything from the work,
and do not need it. But t<» the
| boys and younger men of our
! county, who are willing to be
taught, and who are largely our
| 'oily hope for agricultural prog
I ress, the action of the court comes
as a distinct loss.

i success oftener than do his friends.

OH, YOU ARKANSAS!
You just simply can’t head off
old Arkansas.
She has the hottest springs and
the greatest health resort in the
world, the finest pearls in the
world, the only diamond mines in
America, the largest spring in the
world, and other great things ad
libitum.
But not satisfied with the other
great things of his State, comes
Lee Speers, of Paragould, with a
’ family of girls, who, for size, are
no doubt world-beaters.
Their aggregate age is 41 years
'and their aggregate weight 981
' pounds. Miss Eima, aged 17,
weighs 389 pounds; Miss Edna,
who is 15, weighs 260; Miss Velma,
who is only six, weighs 206, and is
going after her elder sister’s rec
ord as fast as her mother can let
out her clothes. But the baby,
who is only three, is the most
promising youngster of the family,
j She is three years old and weighs
126 pounds, which is a growth of
37 pounds a year. If she keeps up
the record until she is 19, she will
weigh 718 pounds and will make
the ordinary girl look like a broken
umbrella rib.
The parents are both of ordi
nary size, and the father very
gracefully attributes the remark
able size of Iris daughters to
the fact that they were reared in
Arkansas whose very atmosphere
I contains an air of greatness.
The Journal has frequently call
ed attention to the fact that the
Iron Mountain railroad is doing a
great work for Arkansas in boost
ing this state and bringing new
settlers here. It has recenly issu
ed a very hansome booklet entitled
“Come to Arkansas,” and has scat
tered them broadcast over the
country from the “Arkansas on
wheels” train that is is now tour
ing the North. It is a good adver
tisement for Arkansas and will no
doubt result in good for the state.
I Tp at Mammoth Spring there is j
a “Church Unity” movement on
foot, and a few Sundays ago three j
congregations met at the Christian
church and worshiped together,'
' the rector of the Episcopal church j
conducting the services. It oc
curs to The Journal that for real,
brotherly religion, this is far ahead
of the pugilistic stunts that have
been pulled off by some of the
churches of Newark.
Joe Robinson says he doubts tho
wisdom of state-wide prohibition!
at this time. Yes, we suppose so.
All the liquor men do.
Senator Webb Covington of
Johnson county has recently
whipped two newspaper editors
who published things that reflect
ed rather unpleasantly upon his
public record. This is the same
Covington who was several times
indicted by the Pulaski grand jury
for alleged boodling in that notor
iously corrupt legislature of 19U5,
in which one of the present saints
of this county played an import
ant part. Covington is a great
big fellow, physically, and may be
able to whip a whole bunch of
editors, but if he undertakes to
thrash all the people in the state
who believe him to be a dirty ras
cal and a political crook, he will
have a big job on his hands. And
even if he should accomplish the
feat, we seriously doubt if it would
add very much to the public’s es
timate of his integrity.
The weather has been unusually
favorable for cotton picking and
corn gathering and in most sec
tions considerable progress has
been made. The cotton crop will
soon be gathered and unfort
unately for the growers it will be
out of the producers’ possesion.
It is all the more regretable when
we consider the fact that the price
is low.
Poultry raising should be
especially attractive to farmers’
daughters who wish to make
spending money on the farm. A
fewr standard bred hens is capital
enough to make a comfortable in
come. The girl who will give in
telligent labor can depend upon a
nice income from fowls. Farm
and Ranch.
Joe Robinson wants a joint gab
fest with Donaghey. Joe is all
gab and wind, and when he un
corks his bazoo the splutterfication
of pyrotechnic verbiage is like
shooting an unabridged edition of
Noah Webster from a gat ling
gun.—Paragould Soliphone.
We have noticed that Joe has a
pretty had running off at the
mouth. ____
Revs. Burke and Hobbs, who
have been stirring up things, re
ligiously, at Walnut Ridge and
other places in this section of the
state, will begin a meeting in New
port tonight, in which all the
churches of the town will unite.
Let us all stand and sing!
Life would be a great deal more
pleasant if we all were a little
more given to showing apprecia
tion for favors shown us. “He
who would have friends must
show himself friendly,” and many
a frien 1 is lost for want of our
giving s: ime evidences of appreci
ation of small favors done us.
When society respects itself, and
when men who are unclean in
their lives are regarded and treat
ed as fallen women are treated,
then a great social reformation
will have come.
