FRIDAY, MAY IT, 1907
Wheat passed the dollar mark
on the Chicago market Monday
and it is predicted that it will go
to $1.50 by July. The man who
eats biscuit this summer is going
to have to dig to pay for them.
The only tneasuae passed by the
legislature to be vetoed by Acting
Governor Moore was the bill pro
viding for the establishment of an
agricultural school in the state.
No state ever had too many schools
and it seems to us that the acting
governor selected a very meritor
ious measure for the slaughter.

An exchange remarks that in
these days the man who makes a
fortune is called a successful man.
But true success is conditioned
upon character and not altogether
upon the size of one’s bank ac
count. Whether a wealthy man
is a successful man and a worthy
example for others,depends,among
other things, upon how he made
his money and how he u-es it.
Just before adjournment the
house passed the bill by Senator
M ingo providing for the establish
ment of a state normal school. A
state normal school has long been
badly needed in Arkansas. The
M ingo law is a mere makeshift,
but it is at least a start in the right
direction, aud the next legislature
may take the matter up and deal
with it in a more practical and
substantial manner.
A correspondent writing to the
Cotton Journal says he has lived
in Texas fifty years, hut this is
the most backward spring he ever
saw. No cotton is planted in his
county and the outlook is very
gloomy. Reports from Louisiana
say that fully half the crop in that
state is yet to plant and much that
has been planted will be to plant
over. Cold weather has necessi
tated replanting a large part of
the crop in Georgia, and, in fact,
similar reports come from all parts
of the cotton belt, indicating a
general reduction of the cotton
acreage throughout the entire
South. If winter hangs on much
longer there will be no cotton crop
made this year.
Up to.the close of last week 175
carloads of strawberries had been
shipped from Crawford county.
It is estimated that, the crop has
already brought $250,000 into that
county this season, and shipments
■will continue at least ten days
longer. Now just suppose for a
moment that the farmers around
.Newark were growing straw
berries for the market, which they
could easily and profitably do, and
suppose there had been shipped
from here this season, some twenty
or twenty-five carloads of berries,
bringing twenty-five or thirty
thousand dollars into the com
munity. Why, everybody in town
-would have a bank account and
would be wearing a regular Teddy
anile. And it could be done.
Some as tine strawberries as we
ever saw, grew right here in
Newark.
Farmers in the vicinity pf Si
j loam Springs have entered into an
, agreement to plant 300 acres in
I cucumbers for a Fort Smith pickle
company. It is expected the yield
will be 9,000 bushels, the price
for which will be 50 cents per
bushel. ___________
The legislature refused to make
any further appropriation for the
new state capitol, and it is said
; that the work will be practically
at a standstill for the next two
years. There has been entirely
too much petty politics connenct
ed with the building of the state
capitol. __
The management of the South
ern Railway has taken a radical
stand on the subject of cigarettes.
Any employe known to have the
cigarette habit will not be favor
ably considered in making pro
motions, and persons addicted to
the habit who may be candidates
for positions will be disqualified. !
J A Law and Order League was
recently organized at Cotter, and
j seems to be making life miserable
I for the blind tigers and joint- keep
! ers. The tigers are getting it in
the neck at several places over the
state, and if public sentiment
against them continues to grow,
the blind tiger will §oon be an ex
tinct animal in Arkansas.
HOW TO BUILD A TOWN
Many, many suggestions have
been made in reference to the best
way to build up a town, but the
following from the Dixie Home
comes nearer meeting our ap
' proval than anything we have
seen lately. Here is what it says:
The best way to build up a town
is to stand by every man in the
place who is trying to do right and
shows a tendency to promote the
business interests of the town.
When a man is doing well do not
try to tear him down if his busi
ness is respectable and legal.
All residents should be partners
for the best interest of the com
munity and not opponents. Every
business man who treats his cus
tomers honestly and fairly will get
his share and the more business
that can be secured by united ef- j
fort the better it will be for all.
When a town ceases to grow it
begins to die, and the more people
try to kill each other in business,
the more rabidly utter ruin comes
to all. Stand together for the ad
vancement of every deserving
citizen.
