About the only difference between
some men and a mule is that some
mules don’t kick.
An Oklahoma grocer advertised for
a boy and the next night his wife pre
sented him with twins, both boys. It
pays to advertise.
Don't claim an ignorance of evil,
but rise up and over it to purer realms
of thought, and help your self and hu
manity by thinking ank talking of the
good things all about us—beautiful
loves, fine friendship, noble charities.
Look for them and you will find them.

To bring up a child in the way he
should go, travel that way yourself.
Stories first heard at a mother’s knee
are never wholly forgotten; a little
spring that never dries up on our
journey through scorching years. The
sooner you get a child to be a law unto
himself, the sooner you make a man
him. Children need models more than
mere preceptors.
The citizens of any pro|>erous town
are always public spirited and united.
Stand together, work for the interests
of the whole town. Always stand
ready to do your part. Don’t grumble
and spend your time in prophesying
failures, but help to make every enter
prise a success, be it great or small.
He energetic and enterprising and
your example will be imitated.
An exchange descrilies a successful
man as follow: “A man who has
made a happy home for his wife and
children. No matter what he has not
done in the way of achieving wealth
and honor: if he has done that he is a
grand success. If he has not done
that, and it is his own fault, though
lit* be the highest in the land, he is a
most pitiable failue. We wonder how
many men in a mad pursuit of gold,
which characterizes the age, realize
that there is no fortune which can be
left to their families as great as the
memory of a happy home.'’

The Romance of a Pennsylvania Farm

FOR REMEMBRANCE;
TO ALL WHO WILL COURT—
AN EXAMPLE;
TO ALL WHO HAVE NEVER COURTED
IN PITY;
TO ALL WHO WILL NEVER COURT—
WITH TEARS.
A NEW SERIAL
Author of “Madam* Butterfly,” “Naughty Naan,” »to.
Seffv is one of the most charm
ing of typical American romances.
There is in it a pleasing humor
and a subtle pathos that will appeal
to all.
We are more than pleased to be
able to print it, and before its
completion you will be more than
pleased that we have printed it.
The opening chapters will be
printed in the near future.
DO NOT MISS TH^I
OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The Newark Public School will close
today. The outcome of our school this
year has made a splendid showing,
and the future of the school glows with
prospects of unusual brightness.
Now what is wanted is a following
up. To some, vacation means a re
laxation from all effort in the line of
school work, but it will never do to
let the enthusiasm die down and expect
to resurrect it three or four weeks be
fore the time arrives to dust out and
air the room for occupancy again. Let
the school board keep the ball rolling,
keep the matter constantly before the
people, and create such a sentiment
among the people they will have no
other idea than that the schools of our
town are just calculated to meet their
wants, and in the meantime plan and
make them such. Study well what
will meet the demands of a large ma
jority, and make the schools accord
ingly to meet them. Keep the matter
before the people constantly, continu
ally. all the time, and we can have
one of the best schools in the state,
but bear in mind it will never be done
by spasmodic effort, neither can it be
done without the aid and co-operation
of the parents with the directors and
teachers. Every citizen in the com
communitv should feel an interest in
the welfare and upbuilding of the
schools.
While The Journal has always been
a warm friend to the schools, it in
tends to take a deeper interest in them
in the future, for the schools are the
most important public institution on
American soil today.
Growing a little reminiscent along
this line we are reminded that during
the history of our public schools in
Newark, scores of boys and girls en
tering upon the threshold of manhood
and womanhood have gone out from
our schools into the great scIhjoI of
life to battle with the problems that
confront the busy man or woman who
dares to succeed in life. Some of these
same boys and girls are now men and
women, and some of them have attain
ed prominence in their county and
state. Would that The Journal could
place before our readers in this issue
the familiar face of each and every
one, but such is among the impossi
bilities, for Grim Death, on his white
horse, has thinned the ranks, and as
■‘Death loves a shinning mark,” many
of the most promising fell before reach
ing the noonday of life.
But many are left and while none
have achieved great riches nor fame,
many of the In-st, most useful and
promising citizens of the community
have acquired practically their entire
education from within the walls of the
old public school building only a few
years ago set aside to make way for
the more modern and commodious
building which will stand for years to
come as a monument to the progres
sive educational spirit of our commun
ity.

are the most important public institu
tion on American soil, for in them we
gain the knowledge so necessary to (it
us for citizenship in the world’s great
est Republic; the knowledge so neces
sary to make us good and useful men
and women; the knowledge that often
leads to the birth of ambition and of
the higher and nobler qualities in
many a poor and jierchance vicious
boy, changing his entire course in life
and perhaps transforming him from a
semi-savage into a citizen who may
prove a blessing to his race.
The Journal is therefore ready to
fall in line and help to boost any
movement calculated to improve the
schools, not only the schools of New
ark. but of Independence county and
the entire state.
WHY DON'T YOU DO IT NOW?
Sometime you mean to mend your
ways,
Why don't you do it now?
You hope to win the whole world’s
praise,
Why don't you do it now?
\ ou’ve always read in prose and
rhyme
“The present is the golden time.”
If you are ever going to climb,
Why don't you do it now?
In short no matter what you’ve
planned,
Why don't you do it now?
If you have work right at your hand,
Why don’t you do it now?
Successful men are never late;
You’ll tail if you procrastinate,
If you have vowed to conquer fate,
Why don’t you do it now?
You can wet the best groceries and
fresh meat ®f all kinds at Newark Gro
