No Sore Spots On
The Journal
The election is over and the
best thing everyone can do,and
the thing all should do, is “for
get it” and get busy wtih other
matters that concern the wel
fare and upbuilding of oui
country and state.
We should treasure no hard
feelings against anyone whc
did not see things as we saw
them, or who did not vote at
we voted.
If we won, we can afford t(
be generous to our friends whc
lost. If we are numberec
among the losers, we should
remember that it does no goot
to carry around a sore toe anc
get mad at the other fellow.
The Democratic primary it
strictly a family affair amonj.
members of thesame party and
no one should feel called upor
to apoligize for having voted
for and supported any reput
able Democrat.
While The Journal did not
support Dr. Brough for gover
nor, w'e are not ashamed ol
anything we did or said during
the campaign in support of Mr
Hodges. The editor of The
Journal has been personally ac
quainted with Mr. Hodges foi
a number of years and we be
lieve him to be one of the ablest
cleanest and most honorable
young men in Arkansas, anc
that he is a true blue Democral
and every Inch a gentleman is
shown by the following state
ment issued by Mr. Hodges im
mediately after his defeat:
“From election returns re
ceived at our headquarters il
would seem that I did not re
ceive enough votes to win, and
I am ready to concede my de
feat. My friends fought a good
ht. Our campaign was clean
and honorable, and I am very
thankful for the good vote I
received. All of us are ready
and anxious to make the nomi
nee’s majority in the general
election as large as possible.
As in the past, I will be glad
to make speeches for the ticket
next tall at my own expense.
Defeat is a new thing to me,but
there is no bitterness in the cup
which has been placed to my
lips. My triends believe we
would have won with only two
candidates in the race, and
Judge Smith’s vote then would
have been in my column almost
solidly. However, this is prob
lematical, and I never cry over
spilled milk.To my loyal friends
in every county I extend my
heartfelt thanks for their many
courtesies and I am.at their
service forever.Whether in vic
tory or defeat, I shall always
be found working for Arkansas
and her people.”
The Journal believes Mr.
Hodges voices the sentiment of
every Hodges man and every
loyal Democrat in the state
when he says he and his friends
are anxious to make Dr.
Brough’s majority in the gen
eral election as large as possi
ble.
The Journal is for Dr.
Brough because we are a loyal
Democrat and he is the nomi
nee of the party. We want to
see him elected and we hope
he will make the state a good
governor, because we are loyal
to Arkansas and patriotic
enough to want to see him suc
ceed as governor.,
Arkansas needs a touch oi
patriotism from every citizer
and a helping hand to push hei
forward.
If Dr. Brough, as governor,
can direct affairs in Arkansas
so as to push the state forward
ami aid in the material progress
and advancement of the state,
I he will have done the people a
great service.
As a very small part of the
citizenship of this great state,
r! he Journal is more than will
ing to contribute our mite to
ward making hisadministration
a success.
A Few Words About
I
You and the Paper
The local paper is always
hustling for you and yorus.
Hut what are you doing for
it?
The paper is always schem
ing, and planing, and laboring
for a better community.
Do you ever exert yourself
to give the paper a boost?
The paper is always pushing
you and your people to the
front, giving you a good word
before your neighbors and the
public, assisting you to build a
reputation which will be of un
estimatable value to you all the
rest of your life.
But what are you doing? Are
you reciprocating in any way?
Do you ever suggest to your
neighbors or friends that it is a
good paper, a loyal paper and
that it should receive their sup
port?
i ne. paper devotes many
hours and many pages of ad
vertising to the natural advan
tges of the community—of
YOUR community-and in seek
ing to enhance the welfare of
YOUR community and of your
self.
Rut what of you ? Do you
ever seek to advertise the pa
per or to swell its subscription
list or to increase its general
usefulness to the community?
The paper is working six
days in the week for the com
munity, and for you and yours.
Rut do you ever devote a min
ute of time to its material wel
fare? Have you ever done so?
The duty of the paper is to
supply you with the legitimate
news of the town and commun
ity. Rut the paper goes much
farther. Its labors in behalf of
the community are endless and
without end, and it will con
tinue to advocate the cause or
community progress as long as
it is a paper.
You are an important part of
the community, therefore its
labors are ;n YOUR behall.
You take the paper, you say.
True, and you get more than
value received each issue in the
news items alone. The fund of
information which the paper
hands you each publication day
for a cent or two would cost
you many dollars if you went
out to gather it up yourself
Rut this is not a kick, nor a
roast. It is just a little food for
thought in a few of your idle
moments.
A town is like a plant—it
may grow anyway; but it will
grow faster if it is cultivated.
At least we have one safe
topic of conversation—“Work.”
And everybody’s doin’ it now.
Man can dodge a good many
things, but it is awfully hard
for him to dodge hisconscience.
r
The Democratic ticket is a
good one from top to bottom,
and The Journal is ready to as
sist in making the majority for
the entire ticket as large as
possible in the general election.
It is a patriotic duty every
citizen of this town owes to
Newark to unite in every move
ment to make this a better
town and a more desirable
place to live.
Our Arkansas folks should
remember that the farm is the
best place on earth to live, and
that the Arkansas farm is the
equal of and the superior of
most of the farms of the nation.
We ought not to hesitate to
lend a little assistance to pub
lic enterprise in the town or
community thatfurnishesus our
living.
An exchange says flies will
be scarce in America this
spring. Possibly because the
picking is better across the
pond.
Perhaps you have noticed
the fact that an office never
gets left when it has a salary
attached to it.
ABOUT GROWING
SWEET POTATOES
Every Arkansas farmer who
expects to grow sweet potatoes
should write Dean Martin Nel
son of the Arkansas Experi
ment Station for a copy of the
new bulletin on sweet potatoes,
written by Professor Wicks.
For home use each man may
grow what he likes but if he
wants to grow for market he
should grow what the market
demands. If many farmers
near one town grow sweet po
tatoes they will over-supply the
local market and then must de
pend upon shipping to an out
side market. Organization then
is the only sensible thing and
all must grow the same variety
and plant about the same time
and agree on shipping rules
and standards and either build
individual storhouses or go to
gether and build a large one at
the shipping station, for quick
shipment in winter and when
the price is right. The Exten
sion Division of the College of
Agriculture, with offices at
Fayetteville and Little Rock,
will be glad to be of service to
sweet potato growers.

COUNTRY PEOPLE
SHOULD SET
OWN STANDARDS
All the organizations and
agencies which contribute to
the social life of rural commun
ities will fall short oftheirhigh
est standards unless they make
rural life socially self support
ing. and independent of the
standards and fashions of the
city ;unless in short, they give
to the social life of the country
a character and dignity of its
own, instead of being a bad
copy of city life.
So long as the country lacks
this distinctive character and
dignity, so long as the country
[people look to the cities for
their standards of dress, their
'social habits, and their ideals of
!propriety, so long will rural so
jcial life remain unsatisfactory.
The domination of the city over
the country is, in last analysis,
a mental or spiritual domina
tion. It will end when country
people are able to set their own
standards, when they stop try
ing to be city people or to be
like city people. When they
[develop a reasonable pride in
the fact that they are country
people, and in their country
dress, country habits, country
customs; and when this pride is
I justified by the inherent sanity
and simple, unostentatious dig
nity of their lives—then we
shall have a rural civilization
worthy of the name.—Dr.Thos.

ral Economics.”

MORE COW FEED
Arkansas farms do not have
enough cows and the cows do
not give enough milk, partly
because they do not get enough
of the right kind of feed. A
milk cow that is an “easy keep
er" is not profitable. A mill to
produce much flour must have
much wheat, and less wheat
means less flour. Just so, less
feed for the cow will mean less
milk. Let us have more cows
and then feed them more.Plant
Sudan grass, cowpeas, soy
beans and peanuts and then
plan for a little cotton seed
meal. More feed, more milk.
