Entered at the post office at Newark
Ark., as second class mail.
Congressman Oldfield tells the
editor of the Walnut Kidge Blade
that he likes his seat in congress
And that’s official confirmation ol
a suspicion many folks have had
for several years.—Sharp Count}
Record.
Congressman Oldfield has pul
in more time on the job since he
has been in congress than an\
man who ever represented this
district. He doesn’t ejuit the job
to come home and try law suits or
fix political fences, as many others
have done, but when congress is
in session, Billie Oldfield can al
ways be found at his post of duty
He has been absolutely faithfu
and loyal to the best interests ol
the people. Everybody, except a
few politicians, appreciate these
facts and the people are not goinp
to be in any hurry to take him oft
the job just in order to pass it
around to some pie hungry poli
tician whose chief qualification is
that he needs the salary.
“Its better to be one little dew
drop than a whole barrel of slop,’
is the w'ay Ophelia puts it. In
other words, brighten up a little
and sparkle, even though your
sparkle is small, and don’t put on
a long face and go around with a
grouch on that makes you stink.
The Journal would like to sec
our former sheriff, W. A. Fike, ap
pointed on the State Penitentiary
Board. He is a mighty good mar
and fully capable of filling the po
sition in a creditable manner.
The knocker should considei
the bullfrog, how he croaks. The
bullfrog has been croaking foi
several thousand years, but no
body yet has ever taken him seri
ously. _
Reduce the cotton crop anc
raise hogs, cattle, corn and hay ii
one method of diversifying tha
any farmer can adopt with prac
tically no expense.
If you really love your homi
community, don’t flirt with the
mail order houses.
Don’t be a grouch; everybody
in Newark wishes you well
even the doctors.

SEARCY 15; NEWARK 7
Feeling elated over their suc
cess of the previous Saturday, on
last Saturday the Newark High
School girls journeyed to Searcy
with the expressed intention of
getting the Searcy girls’ "goat” in
the casket Dali line.
Owing to the dampness of the
atmosphere, it was necessary to
play the frame inside a building.
This was somewhat to the disad
vantage of the Newark girls, but
they played for all it was worth
and deserve especial credit for the
showing they made against the
Searcy team. The final score was
15 to 7 in favor of the Searcy team,
but this does not indicate the
playing that was done by both
teams.
Following is the lineup of the
| teams.

HOME AGAIN; P. H. HULSEY
REPORTS TEXAS SUFFERING
Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Hulsey ar
, rived in Newark* last Sunday
morning, after an absence of more
j than a year, and were gladly wel
| corned back to their old home by
1 many friends. They left here
j early in November last year for
Live Oak, Fla., where they ex
! pected to locate, but did not like
| the country there and a few weeks
later removed to McGregor, Tex.
They have seen a good portion of
several states since leaving New
ark but Mr. Hulsey says they saw
j no country anywhere that looked
as good as this part of Arkansas.
They were living near Athens,
Tex, when they decided to re
turn to Newark. Mr. Hulsey says
that he never saw conditions
anywhere so deplorable as they
are now in many parts of
j Texas. Many people are actually
i on sufferance, and he reports
| a number of instances where peo
1 pie have armed themselves and
gone into grocery stores in day
light and confiscated food because
their families were on sufferance
and they were unable to obtain
food in any other manner.
WE MUST DIVERSIFY
HA lift Y 11. 1VKS
Soon the farmer folk will try
How they can diversify:
Not the cotton's snowy field
He again the single yield;
j Not alone the silken corn
Wave a greeting to the morn.
For upon the South's broad range
Methods will begin to change.
Peas they 'll plant of every kind.
Many beans you’ve since to find;
Pumpkins yellow, in the ground,
Sweet potatoes shall abound,
Irish, too, while melons rare
Ripen in the sunny air;
Garden truck, through wet or dry,
All will help diversify.
Sorghum, millet, barley, oats,
Peanuts in their rusty coats,
Sweet alfalfa, orchard grass,
Clover for a lucky lass;
Nuts with coarse or paper shell
Popcorn made for popping well,
! Timothy to cut and dry,
1 Grows when you diversify.
j Fruits should then not be forgot,
With a cannery on the spot:
' Stock they say the season begs,
j With much fowl for laying eggs,
i Basket weaves housewives can make,
Flowers grow with hoe and rake;
No one knows until they'try,
How they can diversify.
