THE SCHOOL E LECTION
The annual school;!' election, one
of the most important \ elections we
have, is only & few da‘ ys off. Tlie
schools are the most i^;lmportant of
all American institutions, and The
Journal would like to'1 impress up
on our people the gre£ ‘it necessity
for providing well for( their main
tenance. \
The situation with r<j tgard to our
local school district is r -ather a pe
culiar one. We have bj'een in debt
for several years for thl e building,
but the time is fast au t>proaching
when this burden cant: be lifted
from our shoulders. lria fact the
board of education infl orms The
Journal that if the peojl le vote a
seven mill tax again thisjiyear, the
debt can be paid off ini full and
the school continued as hleretofore.
The Journal has heard ol^ but lit
tle opposition to the S'
tax, and we hope the
their wisdom will see fit
vote for seven mills.
It is true the balance o
on the building is not all
year, but the sooner we
off the debt and get rid i
better it will be for th
and the school. And, bcs^
school is now badly in
more room. By voting
seven mills tax, the presen
ing could be enlarged, or t
paid off, as the people mi
rect.
The jJ.otirnal implores ea<

and
the
conducted just as .you would have
it conducted; possibly you have a
grievance, imaginary or real (but
more likely imaginary) against the
school board, the principal or some
one connected with the school, but
we implore you to lay aside these
things, get above personal matters
at least for a day, and work am
vote for the best interests of the
school.
The next few years will se(
a great influx of people in
to Arkansas from the Northerr
and Eastern states, where the>
have many educational advantage*
over us. Unless we keep wide
awake and keep pushing oui
schools, and give our children the
very best we are able to provide
for them, we may expect to see
the sons of these new comers lak
ing the lead over our boys in till
ing the important commercial and
official positions, by reason ot
their superior knowledge and bet
ter training.
Can we afford to take chances
on important matters of this kind!
Most emphatically we CANNOT.
Then let’s stand by our schools
and make ample provisions for
their maintenance.
We cannot offord to lower the
school tax and cripple the schools
at the expense of our children.
The taxable value of property
in Arkansas has more than doubl
ed in the last ten years, which is a
good showing for the development
of the state. The taxabale value
of property in Arkansas in 1898
was $179,171,998 and in 1908 it
was $302,181,181.
Farm and Ranch is offering
$1000 in cash prizes to corn grow
ers who make the best showing of
corn in 1909. There are 71 prizes
ranging from $100 down to $2 00.
Sureley the farmers of Indenpend
ence county should come in for
some of them.
We notice that canning factories
are being put in at many small
towns in the state. There is no
better opening for an enterprise
of this kind anywhere than right
here in Newark, and yet we seem
tv, be slow in grasping the oppor
tunity.

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 Mot

that you take Nyal’s Hot

its the best medicine for
blood and skin diseases
that we ever sold.
