LETS BUILD THE
CANNING FACTORY
Every farmer and business
man in this community should
encourage the movement to es
tablish a canning factory in New
ark.
When properly conducted, such
an enterprise is a paying invest
ment for any community. It not
only makes a profit for its own
ers but furnishes a market, at
profitable prices, for many things
that can be grown to advantage
by the farmer of this community.
Just a few days ago we noticed
a report from a small concern of
this kind located at Berryville,
which shows the remarkable suc
cess possible with small canning
plants under proper management.
The plant cost about $5,000 and
its net profits for the past year
OQO
The plant is owned principally
by the farmers of that communi
ty, and in addition to realizing a
handsome profit from their in
vestment, they have a good mar
ket for their products.
Thousands of dollars are being
sent out of Arkansas every year
for canned goods, including veg
etables of all kinds, and yet
there is not a state in the union
in which they can be produced to
better advantage than right here
in Arkansas.
Let's stop these leaks and
build up our own town and com
munity, and add to our own
prosperity, instead of sending
our money away to be used in
the development of other com
munities. ___________
“Under what Republican chief
magistrate was the cotton indus
try so depressed as it is at the
present time?” asks the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat. During Mc
Kinley’s administration cotton
sold as low as four cents a pound.
Thousands of cotton growers all
over the south distinctly remem
ber this, and statistics will show
that in the fall of 1898 during
the McKinley administration the
price of cotton was lower than
at any time since the civil war.
Peter Radford, national lec
turer of the Farmers Uuion, de
clares that the cotton pool loan
fund has been a disaster to the
South, instead of a benefit. It is
a fact that practically no loans
have been made on cotton from
this fund, and Mr. Radford says
if the plan had never been sug
gested, several million dollars
would have been loaned on cot
ton by many banks who subscrib
ed to the fund in good faith, and
naturally with such a pledge be
coming a liability they might be
called upon to assume, they did
not give consideration to making
direct loans as the Southern
banker has always done, and as
a result the pool decreased the
local money supply and forced
the cotton on the market.
West Virginia testifies that
after having tried state-wide
prohibition for six months it
finds that prohibition helps trade
and lessens crime. It is declar
ed that from the standpoint of
business prosperity ancfcivic wel
fare, the best thing West Virginia
ever did was to declare for state
wide prohibition. This is the
testimony of several leading
bankers and other business men
all over the state, according to a
statement just given out from
the state capital at Charleston.
Authorities on cotton say that
between seven and eight million
bales of the 1914 crop will be
carried over and thrown on the
market during the coming sum
mer and fall, and it is predicted
that if the 1915 crop amounts to
as much as ten million bales, the
price of cotton next fall will not
be more than six cents, even
though the European war be
stopped now. The only wise
thing for the farmer to do is to
reduce the cotton acreage and
grow more food crops.
Some people are absolutely so
narrow they object to a man
speaking a good word about his
neighbor. A man is getting
pretty small when he reaches
this point, but you can put your
finger on a few of this kind right
here in Newark.
The bill introduced in the leg
islature to consolidate the State
Tax Commission and the Railroad
Commission is a move in the
right direction. The State High

FAMOUS PIKE COUNTY
Dear Editor: — If you will give |
me space, I will send you a dollar
on subscription and a few lines, j
It has bee about a year since we
left Newark and moved to Pike
county. We like this county fine,
although it is 25 years behind the j
times. But it will be a good
county when developed. This is
a very remarkable county. It has
the only diamond mine in the
United States; has the largest
; peach orchard in the world; has
the largest lumber plant in the
state; has the finest hardwood
forest in the state, and could fur-1
nish lumber for the world (for a
while at least.)
VVe also have asphalt mines here
that furnish paving material for
the cities. VVe find that this is the
birth place of the man that wrote
“Three years in Arkansas.” So he
wrote his lessons from the every-1
day scenes of his boyhood in Pike
county. Washing the Journal and
its readers a prosperous year for
1915. W. H. Jones.

Rheumatism
Just put a few drops of Sloan's
on the painful spot and the pain
stops. It is really wonderful
how quickly Sloan’s acts. No
need to rub it in—laid on lightly
it penetrates to the bone and
brings relief at once. Kills
rheumatic pain instantly.
Mr. James E. AlexanAer, of North
UarpneeU, Me., writes: “M:iny strains
in my back and hips brought on rheu
matism in the sciatic nerve. I had it bo
bad one night when sitting in my chair,
that I had to jump on my feet to get
relief. I at once applicd your Liniment
to the affected part ami in less then ten
minutes it was perfectly easy. I think
it is the best of all Liniments I have
ever used."
