Community Pride
' Community pride is an asset,
and it is one of the greatest of
all assets.
The town that improves its
streets, cleans up the alleys,
paints the houses, cuts the
grass, rakes the lawns and
plants its flowers is not only
encouraging cleanliness, but is
making for itself a name among
the peoples of the outer world.
Commercial travelers and
others come, and look, and go
away and talk—and the talk
is all in favor of the town and
its people.
Talk travels, and grows, and
multiplies until the town be
comes known in many climes
for its cleanliness and progres
siveness.
In time other men who are
looking for a change of loca
tion hear of this town—and
then they go, and look, and
talk, and are pleased, and it
becomes their home.
And the town continues to
expand and progress, and as
the years roll by it gradually
assumes larger proportions and
a more commanding and dom
inating position in the world.
When community pride comes
in, prosperity enters by its side,
and the two become the mighty
levers that control the ma
chinery of success.
Personal pride and commun
ity pride should march side by
side, for when these two po
tent factors join hands in a
laudable purpose opposition
quickly melts away.
For the first time in many
years Bryan will have no voice
in the coming Democratic Na
tional Convention. In the pri
maries held in Nebarska last
week he was defeated for dele
gate to the national convention,
running sixth among the seven
candidates. Bryan has practi
cally dominated every Demo
cratic National Convention for 1
the past twenty years, and his
wise counsel will no doubt be
missed upon the floor of the
convention when the party
leaders assemble in St. Louis in
June. ]
The most independent far
mers are they that raise their
own bread anti meat, plenty of
fruits and vegetables for the <
table, can the surplus and sell ’
enough produce to meet their <
expenses. It is then an easy mat- ‘
ter to plant a crop for the cash t
income or raise a few animals t
for market. Cotton is an excel- c
lent money crop, but a very 1
poor credit crop. It takes too (
much cotton to pay debts, but i
a few acres will go a long way s
when you owe no debts. 1
It is rumored that gasoline
will soon go to 40 cents. It can '
go to—well, it can go where
it’s going as far as we are con- 1
cerned. The meat market is al
so ambitious. Beef is said to be
higher right now than it has
been at any time since the pro
verbial cow jumped over the
moon. Take the hint, Mr. Far
mer; there’s money in the cat
tle business.—Wynne Progress.
The various branches of the
Standard Oil Company have
recently declared dividends of
from 40 to 100 per cent. But it
is the war in Europe that is
causing the increase inthe price
of gasoline.
This community does not
need fault-finders half as much
as it needs fault-fixers. The
chronic faut-finder is always
finding faults, but never does
anything to help remedy the
troubles.
Speaking of the Mexican situ
ation—Old General Diaz is the
best Mexican of them all. He’s
dead.
Giue Your Boy
A Chance
There is too little thought
about the boys of today. Some
people think that if their boy
gets enough to eat and wear
he is all right.
If you expect your boy to be
come something, or to be of any
value to you or to the world,
you should give him a chance.
If your boy wants to join a
corn club, pig club, cotton club
or some other club, it is your
duty to give him the chance to
do so.
This refers most especially
to boys on the farm. There are
perhaps scores of boys on farms
in this county who would
like to join some kind of a club.
It makes your boy feel inde
pendent. He is justifiable in
wanting a chance. You should
not forget the fact that the
boys of today will be the men
of tomorrow. If the responsi
bility of the men of today will
rest on the shoulders of the
boys of tomorrow, then the boy
should be given the opportun
ity to develop his talents in
every way possible.
Help him to get the right
start in life and to get the right
view of life.
Your boy, if he is the right
kind of a boy, deserves every
chance you can give him.
And if your Y>oy is not the
right kind of a boy, whose
fault is it?
The Bull Moose state conven
tion held in Little Rock one day
last week indorsed Roosevelt
:‘or the Presidential nomination.
Feddy’s hat just can’t be kept
nit of the ring.
Of course we’ll appreciate
ill the good things you will say
>f us when we are dead, but
>ve are a patient animal and in
io hurry to start your eulogies.
Everybody is agreed that the
chronic fault-finder is a nuis
ance. But the trouble is, he
doesn’t seem to know it.
You may have a good opin
on of yourself, but remember
t’s the other fellow’s opinion
hat counts.

On the continent of Europe
nearly all buildings, whether
homes or otherwise, are of
stone or brick. In older sections
of this country much building
has been done with brick and
stone. Houses of wood are com
mon, but even they have been
built of durable timber in the
most substantial manner possi
ble, and many of them, still in
splendid condition, are more
than a century old.
Hut in Europe and in ourown
East people seem to have re
alized long ago that they were
in their final dwelling place,
their children would probably
live there after them, and that
they might as well provide the
home and other homestead im
provements with that basic idea
in mind.
We people of the Southwest,
on the other hand, have acted
'as if we expected to stay here
but a little while and then move
on. Our lands have been farm
ed as if we would need them
only a few years. We have
built our houses, our barns, our
public highways as for tern
.PMmnmiimiimuUMmUIM.ilmmi 1,11: Ml
iporary occupancy. Too much
of our road and bridge building
Inis been to meet immediate
emergencies.
' Isn’t it about time we decided
to settle down? Might we not
as well let ourselves be con
vinced that there is no better
place in the world for us than
where we are? Why go on,
even down to old age, seeking
the perfect homeland?
And if this is to be our home
and our children’s home, let us
build for old age and for them
‘and theirs. Let us bulid our
houses, our barns, our fences,
our bridges, our roads, for per
manency—to last, with simple
repairs and reasonable care, a
hundred years or more. Where
we can. let us build with stone,
land brick, and concrete, and
steel. Where we must use tim
ber, let it be • of the highest
quality possible, always well
preserved with paint. Let all
|construction be of a solid, last
ing character, and let’s get rid
of our built-for-temporary-oc
cupancy spirit and appearance.

THE LIQUOR QUESTION
Senator James P. Clarke an
nounced a few days ago that he
would support the measure,
now pending in congress, to
prohibit the sale of intoxicants
in the District of Columbia. He
said:
“If ever another barroom is
opened, or existing barrooms
stand open a single hour, it
must be done without my help,
but in spite of such opposition
as I may be able to interpose.
My present attitude is largely
one of growth as the result of
observation, and 1 am convin
ced that the human race has no
greater enemy than the liquor
traffic, even when considered
from the materialistic basis of
efficiency of men as machines,
and not on the high moral and ,
humanitarian grounds.”

A POINTER FOR THE
MERCHANTS OF NEWARK
The advertising manager for
Sears & Roebuck, one of the
biggest mail order houses in
the country, in a talk before
members of an advertising club
recently gave some information
on how they secured much of
their business. He said:
“We have a bureau whose
duty it is to read each week the
county newspapers from all
over the country. There is not
a paper of any consequence in
our trade territory that our
bureau does not get. This
bureau looks over these papers
and when we find atownwhere
the merchants are not adver
tising in the local paper, we
immediately flood that terri
tory with our literature. It al
ways brings results far in ex
cess of the same effort put
forth in territory where local
merchants use their local pa
per.”

riME IS HERE FOR
A GENERAL CLEAN-UP
Springtime is here and it is
now worth while that we begin
t general clean up campaign.
All rubbish, trash and refuse
matter should be collected and
burned. Back lots should be
cleaned up,as well as thefronts,
for by so doing we will destroy
the breeding places of flies and
ill germ bearing insects. Let’s
get busy now and make New
ark a real pretty and healthful
place in which to live.
