Let’s Get Out of
The Old Rut
What’s the use of spending
our whole lives sleeping in the
same old rut when there are
biggprs ones all around us.
What’s the use of being in a
rut at all?
We want more industries in
this town, .(nd new industries
are never found in ruts. Ruts
are too small for them,
There is nothing in the old
rut for us, but there are oppor
tunities in every direction il we
care to reach out and grasp
them.
It is up to us.
We can stagnate in our rut,
or we can reach out and grasp
something—pull ourselves out
—do something—get to the
top.
Rut we’ll never do it as long
as we rattle around in the same
old rut with the dry bones of
our ancestors for company.
We need industries, and
there are manufacturers all
over the country looking for
changes in location.
But they will never erect
their plants in a rut.
They are full of life, and
they want a live atmosphere
about them.
They want to locate in a
community with advantages.
We hve them.
They want to be surrounded
by people of intelligence, who
Know how to use their brains
We have the intelligence,
and our brains are capable of
accomplishing vastly more than
we have ever dreamed of in
the past.
This community
IS
charged
mtp | n n 1. .
dynamite, but if is in a rut and
needs some one to blow it out.
Let’s all get busy and blow.
Nobody ever swallows a loaf
of bread at one gulp.
Many bites makeupasquare
meal, and many efforts will
bring new industries into our
midst with bigger pay rolls,
and more money in circulation,
and more houses to be filled
and more mouths to be fed.
It all contributes to the pros
perity of a community.
W e want prosperity here,
but prosperity never goes out
looking for a place to light.
We must hook it on the fly,
and our hooks must Ije well
baited or the other fellow will
have the strongest pull.
Again we say, let’s get out
if our rut and do something.
Let’s make a careful and sy- *
itematic campaign for new in
lustries, increased population
ind greater prosperity.
It’s waiting for us, but it
von’t come to us.
We must go out after it.
Opportunity is everywhere,
nit it won’t crawl into our
mckets uninvited.
We must reach out for it,
grasp it, haul it in with a unit- ,
id community pull. (
How many of our citizens .
would like to see new indus
tries come to Newark?
How many are willing tojoin
whole heartedly in an effort to
get them?
Let’s stand up and be count
ed.
If you are feeling peeved and
out of sorts, take a brisk walk.
You will feel better. If your
brain is overburdened and your
mind is sluggish, get in motion
again, for your legs are good
doctors. A brisk walk exercises
the dormant muscles,stimulates
the circulation of blood and
brightens the mind. It is good
for good people and better for
the bad ones.
—
We are a firm believer in
work and the fellow who works.
This is a great country and it is
so because we are a nation of
workers. Work has made us
what we are, and more work
will make us even greater than
we are. There is no end to the
possibilities when everybody
works.
Of course the other fellow is
always wrong—but he doesn’t
know it.
Every man knows his own
good points—and the whole
world knows his bad ones.
SWIFTON TO HAVE

lu he run by an
so norse power un engine, win
be installed at Swifton this

and grist mill will be operated

$10,000, it is said, and w ill lie

STRENGTHEN THRESTLE
AT CALICO ROCK
Calico Rock,May 7.—Mater
ial is on the ground for the
construction of a steel span in
the center cf the big trestle ov
er calico creek. This bridge has
caused more trouble probably
than any other bridge on the
White River road, going out
with every high water.

Help will be needed in this community
to work at the Canning Factory and gath
er tomatoes.
We lack only a few acres having suffi
cient tomatoes contracted for and can take
only a few more contracts. Better hurry
if you want in on a good thing.
Now let’s get busy with the planting
and cultivation. Be honest and give the
tomatoes the same attention you give cot
ton or any other crop and you will be
over whelmingly satisfied with results.
We have plants to furnish those who
have not arranged for plants or seed.

SETTER THINGS AHEAD
FOR GREATER NEWARK
Dbservation of Paragould Min
ister While on Recent Visit
to Old Home in This County
Dear Journal.—While oil;
ny visit to your town and oth
;r points, quite a number said,
‘Well, you have quit writing
'or The Journal; what is the
natter?”
Of course I had to say some- j
hing, and must do so now, or
hey won’t want me to write :
igain.
1 could see some things I i
ivas sorry to see, and it would
lot be very good talk for me 1
.0 mention. However, it is the
effects of your last August ov
erflow. I could see it from ev
ery viewpoint. Rut with a good
erop, Newark will be on her
tip toes again, and going good
and strong.
1 he road item comes in for i
ti part of my observation. I did
not travel but one public high
way, and that was from Sul
phur Rock out to my brother’s,
on Dota. With a little excep
tion, it looks as it did fifty
years ago. That was the deci
sion of myself and brother
George. This may not be real
good reading for some, but
maybe it will wake up some
sleepy overseer and start him
to work. A good road is next
to a good home. Good roads
ought to make good homes,and
good homes good roads. I hear
you have a fine road from New
ark to Batesville via Ruther
ford. And i see,by the way, the
autos are multiplying. More
good roads will have to be
built, as they are road promot
ers—no good without a good
road. 1 see Sulphur Rock has
one, and Charlotte is givingsix
o’clock dinners. Sign of prog
ress—two dinners a day. By
the way what will become ot
oju-iasnio/ieu supper wnen we
move dinner up to its place?
Put it on over to breakfast, I
guess. But then breakfast has
no where to stand, unless it
takes the place of old-fashioned
dinner. As Abram Jasper said,
“Shorely de wurl’ do move.”
I am pleased to note the ■edu
cational advancement of Char
lotte. This is good. Nothinglike
teaching the young idea how
to shoot and young shoot how
to idea. 1 can remember when
public sentiment had all the
school of any note as far up in
the hills as Mt. Home. There
is where Fed and Harry Tun-j
stall and many others got their
education. But the schools have
come to the low lands, and
come to stay.
I he Sulphur Rock school was
established in 1872. It hasdone
much for the youth of Inde
pendence county, perhaps more
than any other one school in
the county. The old bell that
has been calling out for all
these years was a gift by W'.I).
Meriwether. He was a remark
able man in many respects.
Well, I have written for The
Journal once more. I am not
well—have my “maiden” at
tack of inflammatory rheuma
tism. in my right knee. If I had
the making of the spelling of
the word, I would spell it
“room-a-tisin” for it keeps me
in my “room.” Am under the
treatment of Drs.Paul and Hen
ry Dickson. Cordially,

A FEW WORDS
TO THE GIRLS
To Tht* Journal.—I have
just received a notice from a
young lady friend that she is
going to get married, and the
name of the man accompanied
the information. 1 would not
for the wolrd say anything to
hurt the young thing's feelings,
but 1 would like to have the
i - - *■’ r flint
she had seriously studied the
situation for five or ten'minu
tes and knew that marriage
was a contract that lasted for a
life time.
It is the easiest thing in the
world for a young girl to jump
in and marry, but if she is not
careful she will find it a more
irksome thing than she ever
dreamed of. It is all right to
meet Charlie in the parlor ev- ;
ery few nights and observe the
nobility of his brow and how '
cute he keens his clothes press
ed, but it is a different thing :
to eat scrambled eggs across
the table from him for three
hundred sixty-five days in the
year and see him before he
puts his noble countenance to
gether. Many a young woman
who deserves a good man for a
life companion has jumped in
at a tender age and married a
Johnny and gone through life
embarrassed the rest of her
days. Johnny is all right as an
ice cream boy and as a slot ma
chine, with which to get chew
ing gum and bonbons,but when
o curru' < to muounrirnf up in af
ter years with the men who do
thing’s and whose wives make
up the budget of satisfied ones,
he is down and out before the
race starts. Girls, if you must
marry—and you must, if you
would be happy—be sure and
many a man, or at least what
is going to be a man.Don’t grab
at the first suit of clothes
that happens to come along
and say it's mine because 1
found it, but wait until a sure
enough man comes along. Me
may not be as Johnny on the
spot as the other kind, but he
will be there when the* other
one has made you tired and
passed on. 1 have no prejudice
against the neatly dressed,nice
appearing boy, while I do de
test the fellow whogoesaround
looking like a bunch of hard
luck, but the idea I am trying
to promote is, get a real man
If you don't know one when
you see him, ask Mother; she
will recognize him at sight.
