Memorial Day
Next Year
The movement to beautify
the graves of deceased rela
tives and friends buried at j
Blue Springs cemetery, next
Saturday, the credit for which
is due Mrs. Ola Lee, is one
that should be observed an
nually.
That was a beautiful senti
ment that prompted the first
observance of Memorial Day,
and it should be a matter of
pride to us that this beautiful
custom had its origin among
our own Southern women.
Although first observed by
our Southern women on April
26, the sentiment so strongly
appealed to the entire nation
that a day was set aside as
Memorial Day, designated by
the government as May 30,
and the same is now observed
by the government as a legal
holiday.
The day was first observed
in honor of those who had
given their lives in defense of
their country, but the beautiful
sentiment which prompts its
observance has so grown that
the day is being more widely
observed each year.
The Journal is glad to hon
or Mrs. Lee for starting this
movement in Newark, and al
though it comes late, no ar
rangements having been made
to observe the day on the fixed
date for giving expression to
these beautiful sentiments in
honor of our beloved dead, we
hope it will be generally ob
served by our citizens locally,
and we would suggest that a
movement be started Saturday
to more widely observe the day
on regular Memorial Day next
year.
The World War has given
an added significance to Me
morial Day, and as such it
ought to be observed by every
community throughout Ameri
ca.
Some men are not quitters
—for the reason they never
start.

Over 3000,000 more double
eagles spread their wings in tin
month of May than during the
entire year of 1921, according
to the monthly coinage report
of the Director of the U. S.
Mint at Washington. During
May, the mint coined 800,000
double eagle gold pieces, com
pared with 528,00 double
» agios during the entire year of
1921. That thing of coining
double eagles is one job at
which we would like to work
overtime.

» FARM BUREAU NEWS
(MHHMMHHHM'y!
The County Agent has just I
returned from a visit to South
east Arkansas and from the
looks of the crops in that sec
tion of the state the farmers of
this county should be very
much encouraged. The sec
tion \ isited is in the Mississippi
Delta where the land is as good
as can be found anywhere, and
where the season is from three
weeks to a month earlier than
it is here, an yet th crops here
are as far if not further advan
ced then they are there.
With the exception of a lit
tle early corn down there none
of the crops are any better than
we have in Independence coun
ty when under normal condi
tions they should be at least
three weeks further advanced.
The reason for this is the wet
rainy spring they have had. No
doubt we have hail as much
rain here as they have but our
soil dries out quicker making
it possible for the farmers to
keep their crops clean while i1
has been almost impossible for
the farmers of that section to
work theirs at all. Many large
fields of cotton had not had a
hoe in them and it was hard
to tell whether they were try
ing to raise cotton or a hay
crop.
Many fields of cotton and
corn have been abandoned
there after having been planted
the second time. The ground
stayed so wet they did not get
a good stand and then the
weeds came up with the crop
an the farmers could not get
in to keep them down. That
section of the state may make
a good crop this year but it
Is greatly handicapped with a
very late start.
When you go out to look
over your crop now and it looks
bad, jus remember that there
are thousands of farmers that
are worse off than you are and
be thankful that you live in In
dependence county instead of
some other section of the state.
