Entered at the post oft ice at Newark,
Ark., as second class mail.
Wc suppose it is safe now to
concede Independence county to
Oldfield. _
There are things to be repented
of in all lives, but saying too little
is seldom one of them.
According to Attorney General
Mouse, an official opinion becomes
unofficial if somebody ‘'swipes” it.
The man with a natural inclina
tion to knock, don’t have much
trouble finding something to use
his hammer on.
The money you spend will build
something, somewhere. Hut where,
depends upon whether you spend
your money in Newark or in some
other town
The seed from which this com
munity’s prosperity must grow is
the money that is invested right
here at home. It will never bear
fruit for us if it is planted some
where else.
The Gazette’s “All Over” man
has been throwing stones at our
grammar. No damage done, how
ever, for, fortunately, our gram
mar is like the Gazette man’s con
science—very elastic.
In 1912 Independence county
produced about $400,000 worth of
cotton. Last year the county pro
duced about $600,000 worth of
cotton and considerably more corn
and hay than in 1912; which means
that our farmers are in pretty
good shape, financially.
The development of Newark and
this community is not a matter of
sentiment; it is a matter of com
mon sense and business. And its
development means not only a re
ward in contentment, but a profit
in dollars and cents in increased
property valuation. For these
reasons, every man, woman and
child in Newark should be inten
sely interested in any movement
or business enterprise that will
help Newark to grow and prosper
About two and a quarter million
acres of cotton was grown in Ark
ansas last year, which made an
average yield of about 600 pounds
per acre. On the demonstration
farms, where the farmers cultiva
ted their cotton under the direc
tion of the government farm ex
perts, the average yield per acre
was 1,062 pounds, or more than
one-third greater than the yielt
made by the average farmer. Th<
difference is about $15 per acre ir
favor of better farming. This
means that if every acre of cotton
in Arkansas last year had produc
: ed as much as the farm demonstra
, tion methods proved that it should,
i the farmers of Arkansas would
i have been nearly $35,000,000 bet- i
ter off.
j I
A bill has been introduced in the
i New York legislature providing
that whiskey and all saloon bever
ages containing more than 5 per
!cent alcohol must be labeled with
j the skull and cross bones. A real
live ghost in every bottle would
not keep some folks from drinking
booze. _
Judge Kirby, candidate for the
U. S. Senate, is a member of the
supreme court. Was elected to the
very office he asked for. People
are tired of electing a man to office
and before he gets well started in
the business of that office for him
to pitch out and run for another,
j A law will no doubt be passed at
: the next legislature to stop this
procedure. Judge Kirby is a fine
; man. As he wants a higher office
| he should resign the one he holds.

The failure to provide books and
papers in the average farm home
is one great reason why the aver
age farm boy or girl do not study
harder in school. Books are the
; tools with which education does it
work. What’s the use to know
! how to read unless you do actually
| read after you learn how? So if
the father and mother do not read
books and papers and find pleas- j
ure in them how can they expect
the children to show an eagerness
to learn to read?—The Progressive
Farmer.
