NEW PICTURE SHOW
WILL OPEN SATURDAY
PLANT TESTED LAST NIGHT AN.
FOUND TO BE IN PERFECT
WORKING CONDITION
Our new picture show will open
rtext Saturday, when the first show
wilj be given at 3 o’clock Saturday
afternoon.
The new picture machine and elec
tric plant were given a thorough t< s
last night, and were found to be in
perfect working condition. Our Oelco
eloctiic equipment surpassed all ex
pectations in the te is .riven it inst
night. It produces the mos- beauti
ful, pure, soft and steady ligh that
we have ever seen cn a picture ,-cre:*n.
This is due to the new Mazda projec
tion equipment on our machine, win. :•
has only recently bean perfected i y
electrical txpcits in the famous Eu
son labratories. The Mazda equip
ment produces an absolutely steady
light, eliminating all the glare and
dicker that in so noticeable in pic
ture shows using other methods o,
projection.
And the new Delco plant th;v fur
dishes the “juice'’ for tin picture!
machine—Oh, Boy: She is some
“juicy” little plant! It is the real
“power behind the throne,” for with
out it, the “movie’- wouldn’t move,
and H.ueld Lloyd would not be able
to make you shake your sides with
laughter, as he will do when you see
him in his latest comic at the Royal
next Saturday. •
Two shows will be given Saturday,
one at 3 o’clock Saturday afternoon,
and another at 7:45 Saturday night.
The program will be five reels, one
reel of Pathe News, one reel of Har
old Lloyd Comedy, and the first epi
sode of “The Black Secret” the fas
inating serial starring Pearl White.
Three shows a week will be given—
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
On Tuesday night, May 18, Norma
Talmadge, the world’s m">t popular
motion picture star, will be shown in
“Her Only Way,” a five reel feature,
w’hich is sure to entertain and pleast
those who admire something real
good. Mutt and Jeff will add a bit
of spice to the Tuesday night pro
gram in a release entitled “Sweet
Papa,” and if you enjoy a good hearty
laugh Mutt and Jeff are the boys
vho will deliver the goods.
The program for Thursday, May
20, will be a five reel feature pro
gram and a Snub Pollard comedy,
titles of which will be given in next
week’s paper.
Qv. to the rainy weather, which
has delayed work on it, the concrete

arranged so that the ladies can get

WILLIAM /
The gentleman whose likeness ap
pears above is a candidate for the
democratic nomination for re-election
to congress, subject to the August
primaries, and his announcement will
be found in the proper column of
The Journal.
It would perhaps be useless for the
editor of this paper to tel] the people

quaintance with him and have watch
ed his political record and are ac
quainted with that. He is a product
of this North Arkansas country, hav
ing been born at Franklin, in Izard
county, and this section of the state
has been his home a]l his life, lie is
largely a self-made man, having re
ceived an education under difficulties
and almost wholly upon his own re
sources, and every success of his life
has been won by hard application,
energy and edtermination.
OLDFIELD
Mr. Oldfield is now serving hi!
sixth term as a member of congress
and as an evidence that his ability
is recognized in that body, his friend:
point with pride to the fact that hi
i; now a member of the Ways ant
Means Committee, the most power
id and most important committee ol
congress. He has always stood wire
the democratic party on questions
governmental policy, and has been a
i constant supporter of the democratic
administration on the issues that
have been before the country in the
; past few years.
liefe re the primary date Mr. Old
field will make a series of speeches
: in the district and give the voters an
' account of his work as their servant
and outline the platform upon which
he hopes to win a rc-election. He is
a popular man among his constitu
ents and has a strong following who
support him enthusiastically and loy
ally.

TO THE VOTERS OF
INDEPENDENCE CO.
—
SERIOUS THOUGHT SHOULD IIE
GIVEN SELECTION OF NEW
BOARD OF EDUCATION
The last General Assembly passed
; an act creating a County Board of
Education in every county in the
State. This Board is to be composed
of five members not more than two
of which may be from any one polit
ical township.
These Board members are to be el
| ected at the regular May schol el
ection. The chief duties of this
Board will be to elect a County Su
: perintendent, and to discharge the du
| ties heretofore developing on the
county court,pertaining to school mat
ters, and generally to direct and
look after the school affairs of the
county. The County Board will also
establish standards of the work for
the schools.
The law provides that the County
Board elect a County Superintendent
at its regular meeting in June—the
second Saturday—in the same man
lier that local school boards elect
teachers or superintendents. No per
son will be elgible to the position
of County Superintendent who does
not hold a Professional license or one
of higher rank, and who has not had
at least one year’s professional train
ing or its equivalent. The duties of
the County Board of Education with
reference to the schools are only su
pervisory and do not conflict in any
way vith the duties of the local school
board.
The teachers of the county have
suggested twelve men as candidates
for this important office. You will
vote for five and we trust you will
select five who know rural affairs and
have an interest in the development
of our rural communities. The fol
lowing is the ticket.

BETTER WORK
IN LESS TIME
Can be done with an up-to-datt
two-mule cultivator because it
can be given any adjustment
needed to work your crops to the
Lest advantage. That’s why the
use of two-mule cultivators is
growing by leaps and bounds in
every Southern state.
Avery’s Southern Queen Cultivator
has every adjutsment needed for
all crops grown in this neighbor
hood. It has extra strength in
every part subject to strain, so
it gives satisfactory service year
after year.
Come in and examine a culti
vator you will be proud to own.
