FARMERS INSTITUTE
BEHTC HELD HERE
Attendance Breaks all Recoads For
Similar Meetings Ever Held
In Arkansas
The farmers of this community
are enjoying right here at home
this week the benefits and advan
tages of a short course in the State
University. This is made possible
through the Farmers Institute
now being held here by members
of the faculty of the University.
The work is under the super
vision of Prof. Nelson, Dean of the
Department of Agriculture, and
he has a corps of able men here
who are doing splendid work in
their respective lines, which cover
almost every branch of practical
farming.
The farmers of this community
are showing their appreciation of
the advantages offered and are at
tending in large numbers, the en
rollment having reached nearly
400.
President John C. Futrall of the
University of Arkansas delivered
a splendid lecture Wednesday af
ternoon on “The New Agricul
ture,” which was thoroughly en
joyed by all.
The program, as previously pub
lished in The Journal, is being car
ried out and every detail of the
work has been ably handled. There
has not been a dull or uninterest
ing number on the program and I
every lecture has been laden with
much good thought and many
helpful suggestions that will prove
of inestimable value to the pro- i
gressive farmer who is on the alert1
for new ideas and better methods
for making his farm pay a greater !
dividend.
Today (Friday) is Farm Dem- I
onstration Day, and some of the
best subjects on the program will
be given attention. The subjects
on the program for today are
“Sw’eet Potato Culture,” “The Si- j
lo,” “Corn Improvement and Seed j
Corn Selection,” “New' Develop
ments in Cotton Culture,” “Fertil- !
izers,” “Demonstration Work for
i
1914,” and “Hog Cholera Vaccina
tion.”
The subjects for Saturday will
be “Irish Potato Culture,” “Alfal
fa,” “Diseases of the Horse,” “Sil
age,” “Commercial Fertilizers,’’and
“Diseases of Cattle,” after which
the Institute will close with a gen
eral experience meeting.
There is no question as to the
success or the benefits of the In
stitute. It has been the subject of
much favorable comment, not on
ly among the farmers, but among
all classes, and already there is
talk about having another Insti
tute here next year.
CLYDE EDWARDS INJURED
Clyde Edwards, formerly of
this place, wffio has been working
on the west-bound Iron Mountain
local out of Argenfa, was severly
injured one day last week while
making a coupling.
The local crew were doing some
work at Atkins, and in attempting
to make a coupling Mr. Edwards
was caught between two frieght
cars and was seriously mashed
about the abdomen and left hip.
He was also bruised internally and
it was feared for some time that
he could not recover. However,
he was taken to St. Vincents Hos
pital at Little Rock where he was
given medical attention, and late
reports indicate that he is improv
ing nicely.
MARTIN FOR SHERIFF
J. U. Martin of Sulphur Rock
announces in today’s paper as a
candidate for sheriff. Mr. Martin
is one of the county’s best citizens
and comes from one of the oldest

He is in every way well qualified
for the position he seeks, and if

i T\ Christmas Prayer
J H. JOWETT, IN LADIES’ HOME JOURNAL
Q God, the Father of all men, in Whose grace
all our light is born, and in Whose love is the
fountain of our festivity, mercifully lead me into
the holy secret of Christmatide, and take me into
the innermost room of its holy joy. Forbid that I
should remain in the outer courts, dwelling amid
its merely carnal pleasures, satisfied with the mer
riment that dies with the day, and contented with
the happiness that passes with the fading flower
and the withering leaf. Bring me into the eternal
things of this blessed season, the things that abide,
the love that manifests itself in unfailing good will,
and the joy that rings Chrismas bells all the year
around. Let me draw water out of the wells of sal
vation, and let the joy of the Lord be my strength.
Graciously give unto me the joy of perfect recon
ciliation with Thy will. May every disorderly pow
er in my soul be subdued to willing obedience.
Create in me the music of harmonious fellowship
so that all my powers may be as a united orchestra
to praise and bless Thy holy name.
And mercifully give ugto me the joy of spiritual
liberty. Let Thy statutes become my songs. Take
the reluctance out of my service and the frown out
of my obedience. Let me not be in Thy house in
the spirit of a bond-slave, but rather in the spirit of
a son, finding springs of comfort in Thy presence,
and esteeming Thy desire as my delight.
0 God, give unto me the holy joy of human sym
pathy. Recreate the chords that have become in
sensitive to my brother’s joys and griefs. If the
harp is broken graciously remake it out of the full
ness of Thy love. Save me from the death of self
ishness. When Christmastime is over suffer me
not to die again into moral benumbment, untroub
led by my brother’s sighs and uncheered by my
brother’s songs. Unite me to my fellow with tend
er kinship, and let me be partaker of his triumphs
and defeats.
And graciously impart unto me the joy of a glor
ious hope. Let my horizon shine with most allur
ing light. May the Christmas star always go before
me, leading me to ever-deepening revelations of
the Lord, and giving me fresh surprises of Heaven
ly grace and love. *
Kindle Thou the Christmas fire of holy love.
Light the lamps of Christmas geniality and good
will. Hallow and glorify my Lord’s birthday with
Thy presence, and crown it with unsullied joy and
peace. Amen.

NEWARK CITIZEN HONORED
In the hurry and rush of getting
out our big Christmas Edition last
week, The Journal missed getting
a number of important items, one
of which was the honor conferred
upon a citizen of Newark at the
Methodist Annual Conference at
Clarendon.
Each annual conference elects
two delegates to the General Con
ference which is held for the pur
pose of discussing church problems
methods for reaching a greater
number of people and general
plans for the common good and
uplift of humanity. The General
Conference meets next year in
Oklahoma City, Okla., and Senator
T. T. Raney of Newaric was chos
en as one of the delegates from
the White River Conference. It is
a high honor worthily bestowed,
and the people of Newark are very
much pleased that such an honor
has been conferred upon a citizen
of our town.
NO HUNTING ALLOWED
I have posted all my lands in
Wycough township and no hunt
ing will be allowed.

STRONG INDORSEMENT
OF BILLIE OLDFIELD
Cleburne Paper Praises Billie and
Thinks People Cannot be Fooled
By Disappointed Pie Hunters
Billie Oldfield’s record in the na
tional House of Representatives
has been one of which anyone can
feel proud. He has made good in
every respect. He has been a true
representative of the people at all
times and has ever been found at
his post of duty and working for
the best interests of the people he
represents.
The greatest opposition to Mr.
Oldfield in the coming campaign
will be upon the length of time
that he has held this office,and his
most bitter opponents have to ad
mit that his services have been
the best that the people could
have. As to the length of his ser
vice, it is a well known fact that
the more experience a man has in
the national house the better quali
fied he is to represent the people,
and Mr. Oldfield is now getting to
the point in service where he can
be of the best service to his people.
In the older states of the east both
Congressmen and Senators are
elected to the same office for many
terms because the people realize
the value of an experienced man.
It would be no less than a calamity
to give up Mr. Cldfieldat this time
for a new man.
In this campaign Mr. Oldfield is
being fought hardest by one of his
old time friends, George Trevath
an of Batesville, all because he
(Oldfield) did not appoint Mr. Tre
vathan as postmaster at that town.
The fact of the matter as stated
by Mr. Oldfield is that he offered
the appointment to Mr. Trevathan
immediately after Mr. Wilson was
elected president, but at that time
Mr. Trevathan refused and asked
Mr. Oldfield to name Mr. Deener
another citizen of that place. Then
after Mr. Oldfield had promised
the appointment to Deener and
his friends, Trevathan changed
his mind and asked for Ithe ap
pointment and asked Mr. Oldfield
to break his word and promise to
Deener. This he refused to do of
course, therefore Trevathan is
fighting him hard and sending out
various kinds of reports from
Batesville that tend to injure Mr.
Oldfield throughout the district.—
Heber Springs Jacksonian.
