The Home Paper and
The Community
Every loyal citizen of a com
munity should take his home
p; per.
The local newspaper is one
of the greatest assets ofanysec
tion of country and should be
supported and encouraged as
such, not with a feeling of char
ity toward the editor, as is of
ten the case, but in the firm
conviction that in supporting
the paper you are contributing
to the uplift of the community
and the consequent enhancing
of the value of your own hold
ings.
Without your home paper
your town would lose much of
its attractiveness as a place of
abode.
How many years have you
been reading this paper, any
way?
And don’t you feel deep
down in your heart that it has
been worth more to yea than it
has cost you?
How would you like to be de
prived of the opportunity ofev
er seeing another issue of it?
In other words, just how
would you like to live in this
community if there were no pa
per published here, no medium
from which vou could ascertain
the doings of the people of the
community, no medium of ex
change in the matter of barter
and sale, no medium through
which YOU could make your
wants known to the people ex
cept by climbing into a buggy
and spending days in driving
from one place to another?
Just how wouidyou like that?
Well, don’t worry,you are in
no danger of losing your home
paper.
This article was writt en mere
ly for the purpose of causingyou
to do a little thinking along the
RIGHT LINE.
-v e want you—an oi you—
to realize that this paper is not
being published just for the
glory of the editor.
It is a public institution, it
is an important part of the eon
in unity itself, it is about the on
ly industry with which the con
munty could NOT dispense
without intellectual stagnation
for when people cease to read
of home affairs theii intelli
gence pays the penalty.
1 his paper is for progress,
for commercial advancement,
for community pride, for the
development and encourage
ment of every legitimate inter
est that will be of value to our
people.
We are laboring to that end
and we want you to labor with
us.
And that our labors may cov
er a greater tield and bear bet
ter fruit, we want every family
in the community to read this
paper, to know what others are
doing, to lend a helping hand
in making of this one of the
most thriving and prosperous
sections of the state.
(let rid of the idea thatwhen
you hand us a dollar you are
“helping the editor along.”
You are helping the editor,
yes; but you are helping your
self more than you are him,
for you are getting more than
vaiue,rec< iv ! for your money.
You are supporting a busi
ness enterprise that labors dili
gently day by day for the soci
al, intellectual and commercial
advancement of yourself and
over other citizen of the com
m unify.
And no other business enter
prise can speak louder or more
to the point.

Honor Thy Father
The daily papers not long
ago contained the account of
rthe suicide of a weary, over
worked and discouraged old
man. He came home from his
day’s work and heard his
daughter singing “Everybody
Works But Father,” and the
mockery and ingratitude of it
went straight to his heart.
“Honor thy father and thy
mother” “is the first command
ment with promise,” and one
that the present generation has
great need to keep in mind. It is
not enough that in its sometime
cheap and shallow gallantry
our sentimental reverence fox
woman includes motherhood.
Fatherhood is deserving of more
than an occasional and half
jocose word. Some thirty years
ago a book entitled “Mother,
Home, and Heaven” ran
through countless editions. A
rather frivolous withassuggest
ed a companion volume on
i “Father, the Club,end the Oth
jer Place.” As a matter of fact,
there is no modern book that
exalts fatherhood to the plane
occupied by motherhood in the
popular imagination. In too
many American families the
labor that produces the daily
protecting care that makes the
home possible, are accepted as
matters of course.
The pivotal commandment in
the Decalogue, in which young
people are commanded to rever
jence their father and their
mother; add in the present age
■ there is special need that peo
ple put a new emphasis on the
first half of it.—Youth’s Com
panion.
Demonstration Agent
A Valuable Man
The Journal is especially
pleased to note the fact that
the Quorum Court of Indepen
dence county has made a sub
stantial appropriation for a
larm demonstration agent in
this county.
The Journal believes that no
greater work was undertaken
in Arkansas than the farm
demonstration work.
Through tfts work, practical
knowledge is carred directly to
the farm, and that good results
are obtained cannot be denied.
From every county where
this work has been done in a
'thorough and practical manner,
the results show up the same.
Better crops and larger crops,
have result* d. Cattle have been
freed of the destructive cattle
tick, and hogs have been li
i berated from the deadly hog
j cholera. The boys have been
| taught that scientific farming
! will produce two bushels of
corn where one produced be
i before, and girls have been
taught to turn their youthful
energy to practical results.
The First annual Made-In
Arkansas Exposition, given in
Little Rock last week was a de
cided success. It was witnessed
by thousands, and the exhibits
I were a revelation to all. So suc
cessful was it considered by the
promoters, that it is to be made
a regular event, and it will un
doubtedly become one of the
| great factors in promoting the
sale of home manufactured
goods in Arkansas. It will be
broadened in its scope, and if
the expectations are realized it
will become one of the greatest
institutions for the advancement
of the state.
There have been no further
developments in the political
situation during the past week.
It is believed that the guberna
torial list is closed with the pos
sible exception of Gov. Hays,
who continues to play awaiting
game. Messrs. McRae, Brough,
Hodges, Smith and Crockett are
actively campaigning, and it is
believed that all of these will
run through. The entrance of
Gov. Hays into the arena will
make some radical changes in
the line-up.
Nowhere else is there a bet
ter place to enjoy prosperity or
stand adversity than on a farm,
provided one makes use of his
opportunities. The farm has its
“drawbacks,” but these are for
those who do not like farm life
and are not willing to make use
of the opportunities for success.
It is a great “drawback” to
1 have this kind of farmers in a
community, for they draw the
community back and keep it
jback.—Farm and Ranch.

One of the finest publications
that ever came from the press
in Arkansas is the Good Roads
Number of the Southern Con
truction News of Little Rock,
issued last week. It contains a
number of splendid articles on
the construction and the value
of good roads, written by some
of the best known and most prom
inent men of the state. It is a
credit to its publishers and to
the entire state, the progress of
which it reflects in such a
splendid manner.
There is a total road mileage
of 36,445 in Arkansas, accord
ing to government statistics, of
which only 1,085 miles are im
proved, or only 2.97 per cent.
Under the operations of the
Alexander road law, and the
active assistance of the State
Highway Department, this per
cent is being rapidly increased.
Had you noticed it? The old
familiar hand shake is begin
ning to make its appreance
[again.
When a man is a real man
he is useful to other men.Other
wise he is just a carcass.
The fellow who thinks he
can’t, generally can't.
No man ever cured a corn by
growling at it.

Good Printing
Styles in Job Printing have undergone many
changes m the past few years. The old style ef
fects with the big, gaudy type and fancy borders
have been replaced with more simple designs.
Present day business men who know the val
ue of good stationary, realize that the old, out
of date designs have no connections with modern
business methods. Consequently they use more dig
nified type faces and simplified designs in their
stationery, which not only makes a more favorable
impression upon those with whom they have busi
ness correspondence, but reflects the prosperity
of their business as well.
The equipment of The Journal’s Job Depart
ment is up-to-date ,n every respect. A splendid
new L.inolype, good power presses, and a fine
“■'°,r.,me.nl °f enable u5 to
handle any kind of printing promtly. Nothing but
the best material used, and our nrintino
fails to please the most particular users of"high
grade printing.. K
