The Spirit That Won.
A returned Y. M. C. A. secretary says that
when our soldier boys got to the other side the
first thing they asked was “When do we eat !
and the next, “Where do we go from here?”
When finally told that they were going toward
the front they yelled with joy.
That was the spirit of our soldiers. There
wasn't one of them that didn’t have purpose in
his heart. They knew what they came over
for, and so they inquired right away, “Where
do we go from here?” They were impatient to
go to the front, and when they arrived there
they kept right on going. They were going
still when the armistice was declared. What
would have happened had there been no armis
tice it is fairly easy to predict.
Nothing can stop that kind of men. They
have what is- called morale. On this subject
Prof. Hocking of Harvard says in the Atlantic
Monthly:
“So long as guns and bayonets have men
behind them, the quality of their minds and
wills must be counted with the power of the
weapons.”
-V
Value of Local Co-operation.
We ail of us admit the power of co-oper
ation. "Two heads are better than one,” and
granted this we must concede that three heads
are better than two.
Each man separately stands for his own
individual force; but if a number of men join
together for some object, their power in the
community increases as each man joins, much
more rapidly than his personal force would
warrant.
Notwithstanding our knowledge of this
fact, it is often hard to secure co-operation in
local affairs. True co-operation means giving
up one’s cwn preferences, subordinating one’s
personality, considering the public good as bet
ter than one’s own. The man who forgets him
self is the most successful ir working with other
people.
Every man naturally wants the best for his
town or community but the community that
achieves the best is the one where the citizens
work unselfishly together. In other words,
when we refer to the public spirit of a com
munity, we simply mean its capacity for organ
ized and smooth running co-operation.
-U
Our Obligation As Americans.
An immense debt of gratitude is due from
the people of our nation to those noble son?
who have so valiantly defended our national
honor in the great world war.
Our American boys have won golden opin
ions whereever they have been in Europe.
1 hey have been a revelation to other na
tions, and they have shed lustre upon the namt
of America.
No true American can comtemplate the
splendid achievements cf cur boys, and theii
spirit and behavior without being thrilled with
pride and gratitude.
And when we meditate upon the admira
tion. the trust, and the faith which the people
tht- nations of the Old World are so plainly
manifesting toward our country, we must feel
even more profoundly and more reverently than
ever before the great privilege of being ar
American citizen.
These things should stir within us a highei
and more solemn sense of .he obligation to dc
all that we are capable of doing to prove our
selvds as worthy citizens of the Greatest Repub
lic in the world.

The editor of the Walnut Ridge Time
ispatch claims to have had an axe stolen fn.
him some time ago. But what worries us i
what earthly use did the T. D. editor have f.
an axe? Surely he don’t expect to have to w
it to chop his way through the pearly gates i

Factors for Progress.
There can be no very material community
progress in Newark, or in any other community
until selfish interests are, to a certain extent,
laid aside.
Self must be subordinated at least to the
point where the leading citizens can recognize
the interests and welfare of the community, and
be willing to make an occasional sacrifice of
their own interests for the general good of the
community as a whole.
Neighborhood welfare is dependent upon
the manner in which the people of the commun
ity—the neighbors—regard the rights and priv
ileges of the public, as well as themselves.
Unless the majority are willing to render
service for the community, to bear expense for
the general welfare, there will be no progress,
and all will be retarded because of the selfish
ness of the few. •

Governor Brough is falling into Billy Bry
an’s style, trying to talk himself into a big of
fice, but we figure that he’ll have to do a good
deal more than talk if he gets much further in
Arkansas politics than he has gene.—Newport
Citizen.
Wonderful, isn’t it, how time changes
things? Only two years ago +he Newport Cit
izen was the loudest Brough organ in North
Arkansas.

The rural schools need the support and the
co-operation of every citizen regardless of whe
ther he is a patron. The future of our country
will depend very largely upon the rural schools
that must train such a large percent of our
boys and girls. Strive with your neighbors and
the teachers to improve the school.—Farm and
Ranch.

On January 1, 1919, Arkansas had $79,
I 000 less money to her credit in the general rev
enue fund in the state treasury than she had on
January 1, 1918. That doesn’t look like Ark
ansas is making much progress toward perman
ent prosperity.

No royal personage in the history of the
world has ever been given such a remarkable
reception as President Wilson has been given in
Europe. In Italy, the people almost fought
in their efforts to get near enough President
Wilson to touch his clothing.

Farmers should plant cotton. Pay no
attention to the fellow that says farmers should
not plant cotton. But the farmers should bear
in mind that a ten million bale crop will not
require as much cultivation rnd will bring high
er prices than a twenty million bale crop.

It is now claimed by the advocates of liq
uor that if prohibition prevails as a national
measure that there will be no convicts to work
on the roads. This is truly a distressing state
of affairs for the liquor traffic.

The government will sell 3,410 airplanes

desire to be a high-flier, here is the opportunity

The legislature will convene at Little Rock
next Monday. There's a great opportunity for
doing some real constructive work for the sfate
if the members get down to business.

Whatever may have been his faults, Ted
dy Roosevelt was a real, red-blooded American,
and his intensely American patriotism was a
trait which was very much to be admired.
-y
The man who can save twenty-five dollars
a month out of a salary of fifty is better off
than the man who only saves twenty out of a
salary of a hundred.

, A little more vim, a little more industry
and a little more cheerfulness, is a good motto
for each and all of us for the new year.

You may have a good opinion of yourself,
but its the other fellow’s opinion that counts.

Every man knows his own good traits—
’ and his neighbors know his bad ones.
