Entered at tbe post office at Newark,
Arkansas, as second class mail matter
We suppose it would not be out
of order now to refer to it as the
post depot instead of the post
office. _
Encourage your boy to join the
Boys Corn Club. If you will en
courage him a little he will astonish
you with results this fall.
The Arkansas legislature meets
next Monday. Let us hope that
it will be a business session, devoid
of the dilatory and extravagant
tactics that have characterized so
many former sessions of our law
makers.
You can look your worst enemy
in the face by standing in front of
a mirror. Keep your eye on that
individual this year. He will help
or hinder according to the thought
food you give him.—Memphis
News-Scimitar.
Why not have pork, bacon and
hams for sale as well as cotton
next fall? You will find doubtless
that pork products are more profi
table than cotton when you esti
mate the value of your labor.—
Farm and Ranch.
R. H. Waddell of the Wynne
Progress has been appointed state
printer by State Auditor John M.
Oathout. Aside from being a good
printer Bob is an all round good
fellow and we are pleased to see
him get the appointment.
There should be a Boys Corn
Club in every' rural school in Inde
pendence county. If there isn’t,
sombody is neglecting a splendid
opportunity for doing a good
work, the lasting and permanent
value of which cannot be estimat
ed in dollars.
No man has a right to desire for
himself that which will injure his
neighbors. There are so many
things that benefit men that no
one is justified in desiring that
which will injure others. We
should not allow our desires to be
come our master.
In'one day the Lonoke rice mill
piid $39,370 to farmers of that
vicinity for rice. There is at least
8,000 acres of land near Newark
that should be producing rice, and
making its owners a handsome
profit, instead of lying idle and
producing nothing.
By raising beef cattle you pro
vide a market on your farm for
the corn, hay and forage produced.
This saves the cost of hauling
crops to market and increases the
fertility of the soil by the use of
the manure from the beef cattle.
If you turned over a new leaf
and want to k *p it clear, be sure
you don’t ''ling any mud on the
one the other ft llow turned over.
The sudden and unexpected
death of Senator Jeff Davis, “the
idol of the red necks and hill-bill
ies,” has caused more commotion
in Arkansas politics than could
have been brought about by any
other event. As a constructive
statesman, Senator Davis left but
little to his credit, but as a politi
cian his successes were the most
brilliant of any man who ever en
tered public life in Arkansas.
It is one of the ironies of fate
that Editor J. N. Heiskell of the
Arkansas Gazette has been ap
pointed to succeed Jeff Davis as
United States Senator. No public
man in the entire history of Ark
ansas ever had a greater aversion
for newspapers and “squirrel head
| ed editors” than did Senator Davis,
land he would turn over in his
! grave if he knew a newspaper man
was occupying his seat in the sen
ate.
Independence is a great asset
and no class comes nearer attain
ing independence than the farmer.
When he ibises his meat, bread,
fruits, vegetables, milk, butter,!
poultry and eggs it takes little j
more to make him prosperous.,
The city wage earner may be an j
object of charity if he is without
work for a few days, but the
farmer with full smokehouse,
large grain bins, and plenty of
livestock can defy a panic.
A few years azo nine out of ten
voters would throw back their
shoulders, thrust out their chests
and piously exclaim, “I never
scratch my ticket! I never bolt, I
vote’er straight!” How many times
did you hear that during the 1912
campaign? Not often, but about
that proportion would just as
proudly exclaim: “I scratch my
ticket and vote for the best man,
regardless of party” Good! Thats
another reason why we won, isn’t
it?—Bryan’s Commoner.
It requires very little effort to
make a failure, but it requires
some energy and “get-up” to make'
a succuss. A boy may grow up to
be a useless citizen, with scarcely
no effort. To be a useful citizen
to his community and country, he
must prepare, by putting forth an
effort, by having a purpose in
view. There are so many places
where trained men can do much
good. We need them in schools
as teachers; in the business world
and on the farm, yet how few are
preparing themselves with a defi
nite purpose in life? Boys, decide
early in life how you can be of
most benefit, the commence pre
paration. Your future will be
what you make it.

; PULLS AN ACPE
OF STUMPS A D\Y
In the last issue of The Arkan
sas Homestead B. A. Fuller, presi
dent of the Hercules Mt'g. Co.,
tells how thousands of farmers
have cleared their fields of stumps
with a new and simple stump
puller which is sold at a small
price and with a three-year guar
antee. This machine with two
men and a team will clear an acre
of land of stumps a day. The e
ought to at least be one stump
: puller in every neighborhood. The
farmer or team owner who gets
one will get all the jobs he warns
after clearing his own land. T e
stump puller is fully described and
its work is illustrated in a hand
some book which will be sent free
to any one who is interested in
stumpy land. The address of the
■ Hercules Mfg. Co., is -'2 Twenty
first St., Centerville, Jo ..i. [ Adv.j

GASOLINE ENGINES
FOR FARH BOYS
The Arkansas Homestead tells
how easy it is to keep the boys on
the farm with gasoline engines,
the kind that cut the wood, chop
the feed, shell the corn and pump
the water. They have taken the
drudgery out of farm life for the
boy and winter has as many joys
and pleasures now as the good old
summer time. The farm boy is an
engineer, he toots his whistle and
does the chores in a jiffy and, in
cidentally lie is getting some use
ful training. The gasoline engine
does not cost much and many of
them are offered on free trials so
the farmer may know what he is
buying. Prominent gasoline en
gine manufactures offer to send
books free to those who want
them, their addresses are: Witte
Iron Works, 1783 Oakland Ave.,
Kansas City, Mo., and L. C. Kuh
nett, Jr. Co., Dept. 3915, Chicago,
