The Newark Journal
PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY
O. F. Craig. Editor
Entered at the post office at Newark,
Arkansas, as second class mail matter
THE FARMER A1SD
THE LOCAL PAPER
The Progressive Farmer, one of
the best farm papers in the South,
has the following to say of the lo
cal newspaper, and The Journal
commends it to the farmers of In
dependence county as worthy of
their consideration.
“A good local newspaper is one
of the surest signs of a progressive
community and it is to every farm
er’s interest to do what he can to
make his local paper a good paper.
It tells him things which he should
know and which no other paper
can tell him. Often it will be the
best advertising medium he can
use and if the editor realizes that
the farmers of his territory are
trying to help him make a good
paper, he is more than likely to be
willing on his part to do all he can
to advance the interest of the ru
ral sections. We realize that too
many local papers give practically
all their attention to the town and
neglect the country districts, but
we wonder sometimes if this is not
almost as much the farmers’ fault
as it is the paper’s. Get in touch
with your local paper. Send in to
it any item of news you may have.
Let the editor know about any
good farming that is being done in
your neighborhood. Help him to
see that the prosperity of a town
is founded upon the prosperity of
the farming country about it. In
this w*ay you can help him make a
better paper and enable him to be
of more service to you and to the
community.”
Arthur Cleveland, who was for
merly employed on The Journal,
has purchased a half interest in
the Fort Meade Leader of Fort
Meade, Fla., and has assumed the
editorial management of the paper.
Fort Meade is in the south central
part of the state, about 50 miles
east of Tampa, and from the gen
eral appearance of the Leader we
judge it to be a pretty good town.
Arthur recently graduated from
the Meridian Male College at Meri
dian, Miss. , and is well equipped
by both education and experience
to attain success in the newspaper
field. He is an energetic young
man whose motives are always
impelled by a high sense of honor.
The Journal washes him and the
Leades all kinds of success.
It is very evident that Senator
Clarke’s estimate of Bryan does
not exactly coincide with that of a
large majority of the Democrats
of Arkansas, as was shown hy the
action of the delegates when Sen
ator Clarke attempted a criticism
of Bryan in the state convention
at Little Rock last week. Senator
Clarke is a very able man but he
does not stand very close to the
rank and file of the Democracy of
Arkansas._
Press reports announce that a
full corps of Red Cross nurses as
well as ambulances and an emer
gency hospital will be among the
“conveniences” at the National
Republican Convention at Chica
go. So we presume the steam rol
ler victims will be well cared for.
We note quite an improvement
in the Jackson County Democrat
under the new management. The
editor of this paper got his first
taste of newspaper work on the
Democrat some eighteen years ago
and we naturally feel very kindly
toward that paper.
If T. R. bolts the Chicago con
vention and runs as an Independ
ent, the pancake would make a
very appropriate emblem for a
Roosevelt campaign button.

SAVE OVER-RIPE FRUIT
Big Fruit Crop Will be Made and
None Should be Allowed to
go to Waste
Arkansas will have a big crop
of fruit to dispose of this year.
Naturally some of this fruit will
be defective and a certain percent
age of it will become over-ripe and
in either case it will be unsuitable
for shipment. There will also be
a surplus of garden vegetables
produced on many farms, but in
most instances, this surplus will
not be large enough for a profit
able shipping business.
How can these fruits and vege
tables thus barred from the dist
ant markets, be saved and turned
into money? Already the writer is
beginning to receive requests for
information of this kind. Now
here is our suggestion: Huy a
home canning outfit at once and
get to work. Begin with the
blackberries and various garden
vegetables, such as beans, peas,
tomatoes and green corn. During
the summer and fall you will find
plenty of work on the peaches,
nears, sweet potatoes and pump
kins.
Anyone of average intelligence
ought to be able to make from $10
$25 every day that he puts in at
this during the Summer and Fall.
In fact the writer has known
small farmers to make as high as
$500 to $1000 in a single season
with their home canner.
A good outfit will not cost you
much. A machine with a capacity
of 200 to 1000 cans per day should
not cost more than $8 to $15, and
machinery large enough to take
care of large crops of fruits and
vegetables can be purchased for
from $25 to $75.
Do not fear that you will be un
able to sell the output from your
canner if your work is properly
done. While the home canner is
intended mainly to utilize a class
of stuff that, because of over-ripe
ness or defects, would not bring
remunerative prices in its crude
state, the home pack, when prop
erly put up, always sells for a
higher price than the output of
canning factories. Thousands of
farmers are every year selling
every thing they put up at good
prices.
Do not stand back on the ground
of inexperience. With the aid of
the full printed instructions for its
use which will be sent with your
outfit, you will soon learn how to
put up a first class pack.
