NEWARK’S NEGLECTED
OPPORTUNITIES
Read what George Hawkins
says about the canning industry
as he has seen it in portions of
Missouri. The Journal has ham
mered on this subject here for
years in an elfort to get our peo
ple to wake up to the importance
of the vast opportunities they are
neglecting. A little united effort
at progress along right lines would
make this the wealthiest commu
nity in North Arkansas, but we
seem to be a set of Rip Van
Winkles, and never wake up only
when we see a dollar headed right
straight for our pocket-book. Then
we pull it in and lie down on it so
closely that we smother the eagle,
until another one rolls straight at
us, never making any effort to
reach out for or induce the dollars
hu euiuu uui wu>j) •
It is only necessary for a man
to got out into the world and see
what other people are doing in
less favored communities in order
to convince him that our people do
not appreciate the opportunities
that surround us.
We could just as easily have a
canning factory here as they have
them at any other place.
Suppose we had a canning fac
tory here that paid out $40,000 or
$50,000 to the farmers for toma
toes every summer. Then sup
pose we shipped $100,000 or $125,
000 worth of strawberries and
$25,000 or $30,000 worth of pota
^ Joes every spring.
-l)on't you know that if we had
$200,000 turned loose here every
spring and summer for berries,
potatoes and tomatoes, we’d have
the best town and community on
earth, and that everybody would
be happy and prosperous?
The Fruit and Truck (irowers
Association is making a commend
able start along this line and The
Journal has hopes that this organ
ization will be the means of get
ting the people aroused to the
point where they can see the great
opportunities we are wasting. It
is our hope that this organization
may live and grow and prosper
until it shall become a powerful
factor for good and for the. ad
vancement of our community, and
that it may stand as an enduring
tribute to the good judgment and
progressive spirit of those who
conceived and launched it.

The editor of the Memphis Com
mercial Appeal devoted three col
umns of space last Sunday to an
editorial attempt to defend his po
sition on the liquor question, but j
about all we were able to get out
of it is that the editor of the Com
mercial Appeal can lie like a dog
when necessary to get himself out
a tight place. He claims to be a
moralist, much interested in the
elevation of mankind along all
lines of moral and civic righteous
ness, and yet there is not a saloon
keeper, an immoral dive-keeper,
a blackleg gambler, or any other
kind of immoral character among
the lowest or highest type of law- j
breakers in Memphis who dis i
agrees with the Commercial Ap-i
peal on the liquor question, and
the staunchest friends the Com
mercial Appeal has are among this ;
class of people. Its own attitude ,
belies in thunder tones its wreak 1
contention that it favors a high
standard of morality. A man can J
not choose his friends from gamb-1
lers, train with harlots and believe |
with thieves and robbers, and yet
be a Good Samaritan, any more
than he can lay hold upon his own
bootstraps and lift himself out of
the mire.
The happiest man in the world
today is the successful farmer.!
lie sits under his own vine and tig
tree, undisturbed by the crash of
the tottering structures in finan- j
cial circles builded upon hot air
and gall. Financial centers may
quake, railroads go into the hands
of receivers and booming towns
collapse, but the wise farmer can
snap his finger at these for they
do not affect the fertility of his
soil or the prolificness of his herd,
nor his ability to tickle the bosom
of Mother Earth and cause her to
bring forth the things which the
world must have. The honesty of
his sons and the purity of his ■
daughters are guarded against
temptations, and in them he is
giving to the world its best and
noblest manhood and womanhood.
The farmer who is not contented
with his lot, has not considered
his conditions and surroundings
and the many advantages and op
portunities of his calling.
There is absolutely no use to
worry because some one finds fault
with you. Its the common lot of
all men in business. The mer
chant does not please all his cus- i
tomers; the postmaster is cussed
for his shortcomings; the butcher
is forever being reminded of his
tough steak; the minister cannot
please his congregation, and the
editor gets more than his share of
the abuse, but is expected to get
out a cheerful paper and boost his
neighbors just the same. Such
things are not pleasant, but they
have always been and will likely
always be so. So we have learned
to pay no attention to them, but
go ahead just as if there were no
chronic critics nor fault finders in
the world. If a man stopped to;
notice every little cur that growl
at him he would make slow prog- ,
re«s in the world.
Some people seem to think The
•Journal advocates a high school
tax, a road tax and other things
that lead 10 good public improve
ments, just for pure cussedness.
They don't seem to have brains
enough to know that we have to
pay taxes, the same as other peo
ple, and have to bear our propor
tionate expense of these things,
just as any other taxpayer. It
has never occurred to them that
the editor stands for progress be
cause it is the best policy for the
community.
We are often reminded that "a
rolling stone gathers no moss,”
which is very true But the stone
that remains forever in one place
gathers nothing but moss.
What difference should it make
whether a man’s grandfather oc
I copied the bench as a judge or a
1 shoe maker, so the man himself is
all right?
If you don’t believe the country
is going to the dogs at a two forty
gait, just ask the first old pessimist
you meet.
Is a noted place for the
cure of blood diaeases,
but it costs money and
lots of it to take a course
of treatment there. It
also takes time Very
few people can spare the
time and money for such
a course of treatment.
If you havn’t the time
and money to go to Hot
Springs, we recommend
that you take Nyal’s Hot
Springs Blood Remedy—
its the best medicine for
blood and skin diseases
that we ever sold.

Epilepsy,
“Mv son was cured of a very
bad case of epilepsy with Dr.
Miles’ Nervine.’’
MRS. T). RAKER, Cleveland, O.
“My little daughter who was
afflicted with St. Vitus' Dance
is now entirely well after taking
Dr. Miles’ Nervine only four
months.”
MRS. C. G. REN NETT,
Alma, Mich.
Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus’
Dance and Spasms, are all nerv
ous diseases. They have been
cured in so many instances with
Dr. Miles’ Nervine that it is
reasonable to conclude that it is
almost sure to cure you. With
nervous diseases of a severe
type, persistent use has almost
invariably resulted in a complete
cure or lasting benefits, worth
many times the cost of the rem
edy. The best evidence you can
get of its merits is to write to
those who have used it. Get a
bottle from your druggist. Take
it all according to directions, and
if it does not benefit he will re
turn your money.
