GOOD FOR THE BOYS
Here is a paragraph from an
article in Farm and Ranch on the
Boys’ and Girls’ Club work in Ark
ansas that gives Arkansas some
of the kind of advertising she
needs, and in addition contains
some wholesome food for thought
for our people:
“The boys and girls in these
clubs are doing more to advance Ar
kansas than a horde of politicians.
Six Arkansas boys last year pro
duced over 100 bushels of com to
the acre, the highest yield being
117. The cost of this phenomenal
yield was 14 cents a bushel and
the profit was $148 an acre. The
best yield of cotton in 1912 was
3211 pounds of seed cotton per
acre, and eight contestants made
above 1800 pounds. One girl can
ned products worth the handsome
sum of $172. The cost was $65,
leaving a profit of $107. She had
117 different varieties of vege
tables in her demonstration plat.”
The Journal learns that Mag
ness township is keeping up her
reputation for having the best
roads of any township in the
county. We are glad to learn, al
so, that Logan township is coming
to the front in this respect. Some
excellent wwk has been done on
the roads in Logan and the over
seer and the people of that town
ship are deserving of more than
passing notice for the good re
sults accomplished. The Journal
is sorry that the same cannot be
said of our streets here in town
and of some of our roads leading
out of town. There is probably
no one in particular to blame that
we have no better roads and
streets in and around Newark,
yet when the matter is properly
considered it must be admitted
that we are all to blame. We need
to take more interest in the mat
ter and need to get busy and do
the things that we know need to
be done. __________
Interest the boys and girls in
the farm; in the prosperity of the
farm. Give them something of
their own to raise, and let them
put by the money they get by sell
ing their crops. If your boy is
restless, and talks about going
away to make his fortune, help
him to make his fortune at home.
—Home and Farm.
The ladies of the Civic Improve
ment League are agitating the
matter of having a general clean
up day in Newark at an early
date. The Journal thinks the
movement a good one, and one
that should meet the hearty ap
proval of everybody. It would be
well for the mayor to designate a
day as clean-up day, and if this
were done we believe that with
the interest that could be aroused
by the Improvement League, the
result would be a thorough and
general cleaning of the town,
which is a thing very much need
ed.
The present year promises to be
the greatest in the history of the
movement for the improvement of
roads in this country, according to
the reports receive^ from all parts
of the country by Secretary Wil
son of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. A joint com
mittee of Congress is engaged in
an investigation of the feasibility
of Federal aid in the construction,
improvement, and maintenance of
public highways, and a number of
the state legislatures now in ses
sion are considering good road
legislation._
The legislature has done a gooc
deed in passing a law substituting
' the electric chair for the hang
’ man’s noose. If we must continue
the barbarity of executing men, ii
1 is better to have it done at the pen
itentiary and as far hidden frorr
the world as possible.
