Most of us are always wantnig
something we can't get or getting
something we don’t want.
The successful man never
bothers about getting ahead of
his neighbors; his greatest effort
is to get ahead of himself.
Read what Col. George Thorn
burgh of Little Rock says about
The Journal’s little scrap on the
Gazette. If “the state’s Lading
booze paper” will take the trouble
to investigate a little, it will find
that thousands of the state’s best
citizens agree with all The Jour
nal has said about it in this re
spect. _
Some of the prominent men of
America believe that the effect of
the European war will be a direct
benefit to the American people
in making them realize to a great
er extent the value of the resour
ces of this country, and the great
possibilities of this country for
various manufacturing industries.
While our foreign friends are
abandoning the fields of industry
for the fields of war, we have a
great opportunity to make the
label “Made in America” familiar
in the markets of the world.

The average value of Arkansas
horses is $93 per head, according
to a recent report of the U S. Ag
ricultural Department. Their av
erage value a year ago was $89.
There are 273,000 horses on the
farms of Arkansas and they are
valued at $25,389,000.
It was a rather clever thing
that Senator Nelson said, that
while Europe was mobilizing its
battalions Uncle Sam was mobiliz
ing his capital. The new banking
and currency system, for which
the country has to thank the Dem
cratic party, could not have gone
into operation at a more oppor
tune moment.
What Act No. 3 will cost Greene
County seems to be an important
issue. The fact that Greene coun
ty has built no court houses, jails,
steel bridges or other important
public improvements in a number
of years, and the futher fact that
in spite of all her “strict econo
my,’’ Greene county scrip is worth
only 00 cents, it occurs to us that
poor old Greene pays liberally for
everything she buys. Greene
county has the right name in at
least one respect—she seems to be
an Easy Mark.
Congressman Billy Oldfield was
one of the star players in a base
ball game pulled of at the national
capital a few days ago. A picked
team of Republican congressmen
played a team of Democratic mem
bers of the House, the game re
sulting 16 to 7 in favor of the
Democrats. It is characteristic of
Billy Oldfield to put interest and
enthusiasm into everything he
does, whether it is playing ball
or helping to solve the problems
of government. His success is due
to the fact that he has always
been a hard and persistent work
er in anything he undertakes.
Making a Good
Crop
Is a very important matter with the farmer.
You cannot make a good crop without good
tools to work with, so it is VERY IMPORTANT
that you equip yourself with plenty of (iOOI)
TOOLS if you expect to farm successfully. No
man ever made a success on the farm who did
not equip himself with the necessary tools and
implements for doing good work.
Cji I have a complete line of the famous Moline
implements of all kinds, and it will pay you to
investigate the merits and the prices of these
implements. They are the latest improved,
are honestly built and are sold very reasonable.

TEST WELLS MAY
SOON STRIKE OIL
Interest in Oil Prospects in Sul
phur Rock Regioiv Grows as
Drills go Deeper
The work of sinking the two
test wells for oil a few miles west
of here in the Sulphur Rock
neighborhood is progressing rapid
ly. One of the wells is now about
! SOD feet deep, while the other is
about 1,000 feet deep. Doth wells
are being sunk in the same neigh
borhood, but by different parties.
A company was organized near
ly three years ago financed by lo
cal parties and three or four citi
zens of Little Rock. This com
pany is now sinking its second
well, the first having been wreck
ed when about 1200 feet deep by
an inexperienced man attempting
to “shoot” it with nitroglycerin.
Substance taken from this well
for several days prior to the time
when it was wrecked would burn
readily when lighted with a match
producing a blaze similiar to the
ignition of tar. Geologists who
came here made a favorable re
port and work was commenced on
the second well, which is now
about 1,000 feet deep.
A few months ago a company
of Indiana people became interest
ed and before it was generally
known that another company was
in the field the Indiana people Had
secured leases on about 10,000
acres of land. In a few days an
other and a much better outfit of
drilling machinery was unloaded
and drilling was commenced by
the new company. This well is
now about 800 feet deep. Many
believe this company is owned and
financed by the Standard Oil Co.
Both companies are reticent
concerning their operations, but it
is believed that the next 30 days
will bring decisive developments.
TO DIRECTORS
AND TEACHERS
On Saturday, September 5, prc
motion exercises will be held at
the Court house in Batesville for
pupils in the rural schools who

These exercises will be held at 10
o’clock in the morning, and at
this time boys and gir’s in the
rural shools of the county who

cates showing that they are pre
pared for high school work. Mr.
Cook, State Superintennent, or
Mr. Bond, Supervisor of Rural
Schools, will be present and make
an address. Gov. Hays has also
promised to make an address at
this time along educational lines.
In the afternoon, a meeting of
the directors of the county will be
held. This meeting will be con
ducted by Mr. Cook or Mr. Bond.
Every school director and teach
er is urged to attend.
The schools visited this summer
have been found in good condition
and doing good work.
Very respectfully,
Sidney Pickens,
County Examiner.

’FRAID HIS HAM’S
GOING TO SPOIL
Anybody Hungry? Preacher Has
a Big Juicy Ham That Needs
Tending to at Once
Mr. Editor.—I am getting des
perate. What have you got to eat
over there? I heard somebody say
an editor could live on one meal a
day, if he would suck his thumb
; between times. How is this? We
I have two old bacon sides and one
big juicy old ham, but Mrs. Jerni
gtn says she is “saving that for
the preacher.” Now isn’t that go
ne; some? The thing that troubles
nu* is, who is the preacher she is
saving it for? I am a preacher, and
one that likes old ham, fried or
broiled. See? Now, she is sort
; o’ dodging the preacher racket and
i says she is saving for “Mr. Luther.”
Well, 1 am real good and ready for
“Mr. Luther” to come. That ham
will spoil this hot weather if it
isn't tended to.
This year has been keeping
school for the farmers. Some ot
them have been in “their letters,”
some in the “ab’s” and some as
far as “baker” and some over to
"materiality.” One man over here
told me he broke his corn land 12
inches, then sub-soiled, and his
crop has suffered very little for
rain. He has 60 acres. Dan Smith
of Izard county told me once he
had three rules by which he farm
ed. “First, cultivate his soil before
he planted his seed; second, work
ed his truck before it needed it;;
and third, rested his landed befo-e
it got tired." Good farming gump
tion is the sense of knowing how
to put the grease where the squeak
is.
We will all be all right; God is
on the throne and knows, and does
what is best.
President Wilson is at the head
of this government, and he has
kept a governmental school assvell
as he did a literary one. He is the
biggest, brainest, safest, sanest and
most moral man who has been
there since the days of Abe Lin
coln; and I was notan Abe Lincoln
man at the time he was there.
Other good moral men have been
there, but none surpassed our
great Woodrow Wilson. And there
is William J. Bryan, my ideal of
ideals. What a team, he and Wil
son!
We are rounding up for Confer
ence which meets in November at 1
Batesville. About 240 ministers
and lay delegates, besides visitors j
and connectional men. Batesville
will have to do like the turkey hen 1
did when “Pat” set her on 100
eggs—“spread herself, be-gorry”
and she will do it. With best wish
es for all, I am cordially
Jas. F. Jernigan,
Imboden, Arkansas.
HALLIBURTON-GREENFIELD
Hayden Halliburton of Little
Rock and Miss Nellie Greenfield
were married Sunday afternoon at
the home of the bride’s parents in
Batesville, Rev. M. B. Umsted.pas-i
tor of the Methodist £fthtch of
Newark officiating. They left Sun
day night for Little Rock where
they will make their home.
YOU WILL BE THINKING
of a way to please Father,
Mother, Brothers and Sisters
and maybe sweetheart and
friends. Think of a portrait,
Nothing would make a more
more appropriate gift. You
have been putting it off;
come today and have a lot
of negatives made, and j
select from the best one or;
more. I Will Please You.

START THE DAY RIGHT
Do you arise in the morning feeling tired and sore—just
as if you hadn’t been to bed at all? Are you inclined to be
forgetful, listless and dull during the day? Do you have a

ing Nyal’s Iron Tonic Bitters. Your blood needs encour
agement-weakened tissues need food.

enriches the blood and performs other duties that compel
you to forget that “tired feeling.”
