THE VALUE OF THE
HOME PAPETl
The really good weekly news
paper promotes the interest of
the town in which it is published
to such an extent that it becomes
impossible to place an estimate
upon its worth.
There is no enterprise that
does so much for the town and
the community as the paper. It
is the friend of everything that
stands for the upbuilding of the
community.
The paper has not come into
its own, however, because it is
never appreciated to the extent
of its worth by the people at
large. Yet when battles are to
be fought for the town or com
munity, a rush is made for the
newspaper office, always to find
the loyal editor ready, frequently
without hope of reward.
Communities often lose sight
of their greatest benefactor when
they fail to recognize the local
paper in their midst as such.
For these and other good rea
sons, the newspaper of the town
and county should receive the
support of the public at large in
a very liberal degree, for it is
really the most important busi
ness enterprise in the communi
ty. The editor is a business man
and not a mendicant, and should
be recognized as the most im
portant factor in the community
for poor indeed is the town that
has no newspaper in it.—Busi
ness Man’s Magazine.
In a recent public speech,
Secretary of State Wm. J. Bry
an asked the following pointed
question: “If the soldier must
give up alcohol because it inter
feres with his efficiency, why
should not the civilian promote
his efficiency by giving it up?

TAKE MORE PRIDE
IN YOUR TOWN
Town pride is a pride that
should be cultivated by every cit
izen of Newark.
It is the duty of every man
who lives in Newark to do his
dead level best for everything
that concerns the welfare of
Newark, because this town is his
home. It is MY town—YOUR
town—and it is going to be just
what WE make it—YOU and
ME.
To do this is not merely a priv
ilege. It is a sacred duty.
Whatever helps to build up a
business, or institution, or en
terprise of any kind in this town
helps to improve the conditions
of all dwellers therein.
All the units of a composite
population should work together,
pull together, build together and
plan together for the increased
prosperity and happiness for
their community.
We should gather the lessons
taught by other towns and cities
that have felt the inspiration of
city pride, and then apply these
lessons to our own community.
We are becoming more or less
accustomed of late to hear of na
tions appropriating a billion dol
lars for war and of the people of
this or that country benig pressed
to meet the heavy war expendit
ures. This tends to bring home
to us another matter of billions
of dollars in our own country
the expenditure of two billion
dollars a year for intoxicating
liquors. And who can say that
this is not as great a waste as the
money that is squandered in
warfare?
.
Arkansas imports about twen
ty million dollars worth of meat
and lard annually. Failure to
produce our own meat and bread
is one of the State’s greatest
drawbacks.

NEWARK, ARKANSAS
The town of Rison, in Cleve
land county, is preparing to put
in a light plant and waterworks.
Rison is about the size of New
ark and is not in as good a coun
try as this, nevertheless her citi
zens are showing their faith in
the future of their town in a
most commendable manner. This
is the proper spirit of push and
enterprise necessary to make a
good town better. The Journal
would like very much to see the
people of Newark start a move
ment like this.
Intentions, no matter how good
and how sincere they may be
are worth but little unless carried
into action. It is what we do,
and not what we intended doing
that counts.
The legislature convenes next
Monday. Let us hope that it will
be a constructive session and that
petty local legislation will be
given scant attention.
USELESSNESS OF WORRY
The old year has passed and
gone and the new year is here.
How is it \?ith us: Can vve look
back on the past with peace and 1
happiness, or have we made mis
takes or had misfortunes? If so,
don’t worry. It matters not how
great or small our mistakes, wor
ry won’t mend them. They have
passed with the old year, never to
return. Worry does no good, hut
harm. It is dangerous. It shat
ters our nerves, blasts our happi
ness, weakens our mind, and in
fact it affects the whole system
and brings us down to premature
graves. No doubt many people
have been sent to the ^ssylum
from worrying over some trivial
matter. We should not worry,
but be thankful that all is as well
with us as it is, and endeavor to
do better in the future. We should :
avoid mistakes and shun evil and
not only try to be happy ourselves i
but try to bring happiness to
others. Life is what we make it,
and is too short for worry.
Love God and serve Him and
we will not only be happy in this
world but the world to come.

OUR LEGISLATURE
Editor The Journal —Our legis
lature will soon convene and in it
will be the usual large per centage
of new members. Right there
lies disturbance for every new
member feels it incumbent upon
himself to introduce some meas
ure as decidedly “new” as him
self. If he is from the forks of
the creek, he shakes the capitol
roof with thundering denuncia
tions of “the soul-less corpora
tions,” and presents a bill com
pelling railroads to provide guides
for his constituents when they go
on a visit. If he happens to be a
ir/ninfT
gloomy criticisms of the constitu
tion, and wants a convention. If
he is a demagogue he wants one
man inhibited from having more
property than another and de
mands that railroads construct pa
latial stations at every road cross
ing. If he is a nonedescript he
gets himself interviewed about “a
just libel law” and makes speeches
that the newspapers have to re
write to make them understand
able. If he “realizes the respon
sibility resting upon him,” and
wants to “do something for the
dear people,” he proposes all sorts
of bills, which are fearfully and

wonderfully made, and delivers
orations that would turn Sergeant
Buzzbuz green with envy. If he
is an economist he proposes that
the salary of every forty dollar
clerk be reduced and that the tax
on circuses be increased. If he is
a moralist he wants it made a pen
itentiary offense for boys to play
marbles for keeps. If he is a re
ligionist he calls for punishment
upon the man who even so much
as kisses his wife on Sunday. If
he is a notoriety seeker he makes
all sorts of charges and wants va
rious committees appointed to in
vestigate things. If he happens
to be a “know nothing” pure and
simple, he keeps his mouth shut
and thus confers a blessing on his
country. Mrs. A. A.Covington.
BACK FROM TEXAS
R. T. Madness and family ar
rived home this week from Waller
