Entered at the post office at Newark,
Ark., as second class mail.
Troubles are always worse in
anticipation than in fact.
A man is not of much bene
fit. to his community when he
gets to the point where he does
not care what happens to his
neighbors so long as he is pros
perous himself.
It is always true that land,in
a country where the roads are
bad. is cheap and hard to sell at
any price. A tax on land forthe
purpose of building good roads
is not an expense but an invest
ment that pays large dividends.
The South hasapproximatelj
240,000,000 acres of undevel
oped land. Speaking from an
agricultural point of view, the
South is the land of opportunity,
and only needs a little more
thrift and enterprise upon the
part of its citizens to make it
the greatest country on the face
of the earth.
SHALL ARKANSAS GO
BACK TO COTTON
This is the question hundreds
of thoughful men are asking
now since the cotton and seed
pr re: have gone up. Of course
the Temptation is great and if
cotton were to be planted next
week ’t is possible that many
would plow up the fence cor
ners. But that would be foolish.
It only takes about so much cot
ton to supply the world’s need
and if the south were to go be
yond the demand the price
would go down and the farmer
would get less than it cost him
to raise it. The Farmer’s Union
and the business men of the
state are agreed that the farm
ers will lose money if they do
go back. Let all play safe and
raise a big garden and lots of
teed tor stock and get more
stock and make the entire liv
ing and own the cotton free
from mortgage when it goes to
the gin next fall.
o
BOYS’ PIG CLUB
It will be unfortunate if
there is a single county in Ark
ansas that will not have a boys’
Pig Club next spring. Now is
the time the bankers and lead
ing farmers should begin to talk
1 his up. Why should not every
Farmers’ Union in the state or
ganize a Pig Club and get the
boys interested in growing good
pigs. Select the gilts now and
and help the boys to get into
the game.

Nobody Loves Us!
We are inclined to think that
Mr. Joseph H. Choate puts it a
little too strong when he says
that the United States is one of
the most hated nations in the
world today.lt is unhappily true
that hatred is now the domin
ant emotion in a large part of
the earth, and that some of it is
directed toward us. But hate is
a hard word, representing an
active passion, and we do not
believe it is the feeling -with
which we are regarded by any
nation in general, a.lthough
there can be no doubtthatthere
are many individuals who would
like mighty well to get at our
throats. However, we have no
doubt that no nation is more
generally disliked than ours.
There is hearty dislike, and, in
truth, some hatred for usinGer
many, because of our stand on
the submarine question and be
cause of our sales of munitions
to the allies. The same feeling
exists in Austria. Great Britian
to say the least, has no love for
us. The mass of her people seem
to think we ought to have made
common cause with them, and
we ougt not to interfere in their
blockade operations. Russia, of
ficially, has never liked us, and
the same is true of Turkey.
France, we may hope, is our
friend, and Italy seems to bear
j no grudge against us, but Spam
| has not yet forgotten ’98.Japan
would like to have a bout with
j us, and upon our own hemi
j sphere we are regarded with
feelings that range from un
friendly indifference to actual
hatred.
There are many reasons for
this attitude of the nations to
ward us. Some dislike usforone
thing and some for another.but
there is one emotion that influ
ences all of them, more or less,
and that is envy. The United
States is the richest nation on
the globe. Although we are but
6 per cent of the world’s popu
lation it is estimated that we
have one-fourth of its wealth,
and we are continuing to accu
mulate wealth in a way thatex
cites the jealously and the cu
pidity of other nations.To imag
ine that under such circumstan
ces, we can forever continue to
live in “splendid isolation,’’ is a
very impractical one. The Unit
ed States must be prepaed to
protect its own. It must guard
its treasures. When dislike and
envy unite it needs but a trifle
to create open hostility.—Globe

BURN DEAD HOGS
Arkansas will not get rid of
• log Cholera until farmers get
into the habit of burning the
dead hogs. It may be difficult, i
it the range is used for pasture,
but farmers may take their
choice of keeping cholera with:
us forever or burning. Vacci
nate whe neholera gets you and
if any hogs die burn them.

RURAL CREDIT AND
RURAL THRIFT
The South and the West and
the Northern agricultural state 5
have much to learn in the way
of rural thrift from the New
England rural communities
IThe constant cry is easier cred
it for the farmer, but what the
j farmer most needs is more
thrift.. Some of the Southern
[states are cursed with crop lien
laws which are holding back
ithe rural communities by allow
ing a man to mortgage his fu
1 lure work and hopes and keep
;him continually in debt instead
of allowing him to lay
;something aside. It is an aston
ishing fact that Massachusetts
has fivetimesmoresavingsbank
deposits than havetwelvesouth
ern states. In Massachusetts
threre are 3.300,000 people and
2.250.000 of them have savings
bank deposits. In three years
the savings banks in connection
with the public schools showed
1.400.000 deposits.Every school
jin the rural communities ought
to have a course of “thrift
talks,” whereby the teacher
could lay before the scholars
the necessity of savingaportion
of whatever money they might
earn. This money could be de
posited in savings banks and,
later, when it has grown, could
| be used to purchase good, safe
bonds paying three and one
half to five per cent interest.
The child’s mind, as well as the
minds of those who are older,
should be impregnated with the
fact that it is not what one earns
| that makes a competency for
j old age, but what one lays a
side.
