The Newark Journal
PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY
O. F. Craig. Editor
16 PAGES i
LET VS BE THAISKEVL
Next Thursday is the day of i
national Thanksgiving, and as \
General Prosperity is again abroad ;
in the land, The Journal is cele- |
brating the event by presenting to ';
its readers this week a handsome <
16 page Thanksgiving Number, 1
filled to the brim with good and j
entertaining reading. i
One of the main purposes in is
suing this elabrate Thanksgiving i
number is a desire to assist in ere- ;
ating among our people a more ;
general observance of the Day of j
Thanksgiving, in the manner in i
which it should be observed. ;
Throughout the South, the day is i
not as generally observed as it -
should be, but we believe it would
be far better for all if the day were
observed by all our people in the
true spirit in which it was first ob
served by the early settlers, as told
on another page of this issue.
When we of today as American
citizens look back upon that first
Thanksgiving, we have reason not
only to be thankful but ample rea
son to contemplate wfith pride the
achievments of our country. And
yet we should remember, and es
pecially upon this Thanksgiving
occasion should we remember
with a spirit of reverence and
humility, that wre have only built
upon the foundations that have
been laid for us. We did not create
the fertile soil that is the basis ot
our great wealth. We did nof
fashion the climate that gives us
the great white cotton belt of our
own wonderful Southland. We do
not gather up the moisture and
fix the date of the early and latter
rains. We did not hide awray in
the hills and mountains the im
mense deposits of precious metals,
nor did wfe create the great beds
of coal and iron and lead and
zinc.
Let us remember all this, and
much more, when we gather next
Thursday at the various churches
in our Thanksgiving services, or !
when we gather round the festal1
board at the old homestead, and ■
let us put the spirit of real thanks
giving uppermost in our hearts.
And as we do this, let us take an
inventory of ourselves and of our
lives. It is a good time to remem
ber that service is the true meas
jre by which life should be com
juted. It always has been true,
t is true today, and it always will
)e true, that, regardless of his re
igious creed, he is the best man
md the best citizen who does the
nost good. What a revolution it
vould work in this old world if
his standard wrere to become
he standard of every life. Nearly
ill of our controversies and com
>ats arise from the fact that we |
ire trying to get something from
ac'n other—there will be peace,
>etter citizens, better neighbors,:
md a better world when our aim 1
s to do something for each other, j
In our observance of Thanksgiv-;
ng, let us remember these things
md resolve to be more thoughtful
md observant of our opportunities
or keeping alive a true spirit of
hankfulness in our own lives and
i spirit of service that will help us
o be better men and women, bet
:er citizens and better neighbors.
Reports show that in corn and
:otton alone, Arkansas farmers
increased their yield $265,205 by
following the demonstration meth
ods as taught by the United States
Department of Agriculture. The
average yield of cotton under
demonstration wras 946 pounds to
the acre, as compared with a state
yield under ordinary methods of
538 pounds to the acre. The aver
age yield of of corn under demon
stration was 32.9 bushels, and the
average without demonstration
wras only 20 bushels to the acre.
There are 2,716 demonstrators and
11,351 co-operators, representing
nearly 40,000 acres of cultivated
land. Some day,all the farmers of
Arkansas are going to begin to
do real farming, and when they
do, Arkansas will become one of
foremost agricultural states in the
union.
President Mobley of the Farm
ers’ Union has arranged to send a
catload of potatoes to Little Rock,
and the members of the labor
unions of that city are co-operating
with him in distributing the pota
toes direct to the consumers. This
move is largely an experiment, but
looks as if it would bear fruit. It
is enabling the consumer to get
potatoes at about 75 cents a bush
el. This price saves the consumer
about 25 cents a bushel and at the
same time gives the producer
about 25 cents a bushel more than
he has been usually getting.
Cheaper Meat!
Owing to the fact that
cool weather is now here
and not having to use much
ice to keep our meat, we
are making a price of
10 AND 121 cents
per pound for fresh meat.
Me solicit your patronage
and will give you a sqaure
deal.
HERRINGTON & SON
i ' v,
In one North Arkansas county
that has succeeded in pitting
above the cattle quarantine line
through 1he government tick erad
ication work, a cattle man from
Kentucky recently purchased
fourteen carloads of cattle and
shipped them north to be fattened
at a large distillery. Cattle from
Independence county cannot be
shipped north except for immedi
ate slaughter, and as a result
there is not as a good market
iiere for cattle as there would be
if we were above the quarantine
line. People who oppose the tick
eradication work should do a little
serious thinking along this line
and see if they are acting for their
own best interest and the general
interest of the community.
More than ten million dollars is
invested in school property in Ark
ansas. Last year, 382 new school
houses were built, these represent
ing an expenditure of $1,014,000.
Arkansas cannot boast of having
the best schools in the union, but
she is making good progress along
all educational lines. And this is
another thing every patriotic Ark
ansan should be thankful for.
The present crop of rice, which
has just been harvested in Arkan
sas, has proven the best in the
history of the rice growing indus
in this state. There is some fine
rice land in this section and The
Journal hopes that it will not be
permitted to remain idle much
longer. __
Sixteen years of fasting has pro
duced a hungry horde of pie hunt

scramble for the spoils promises to
be as acrimonious as it is disgus

Here’s another distinction for
Arkansas people to boast of: Chi
cot county shows a higher yield of
lint cotton per acre than any other
county in the United States.

BAND BOYS ORGANIZE
A number of young men and
boys have organized a band here.
Alva Eller has been elected presi
dent, and Herman Welborn secre
tary. Clarence Propes, Leonard
Mayhan and Elmer Hodman were
chosen as finance committee.
The following members compose
the band: Alva Eller, Herman
Welborn, Nathan Kinman, Clar
ence Propes, Leonard Mayhan,
Elmer Rodman, Clyde Hawthorne,
George Adams, Morris Magness,
Nelson Eller, Harvell Adams, Er
nest Gire and Fred Eller.
The horns were received some
time ago and the boys can already
make a good healthy noise. They
are taking lessons and hope to be
able to play a few selections in the
near future. A good band is a
good thing for a town and The
Journal is pleased to see the boys
so deeply interested in the matter,
and we beleive Newark is going
to have an up-to-date band.
EARLE WOMAN A SUICIDE
Earle, Nov. 16.—Mrs. Philip L.
Pyre, a well known woman of this
city, ended her life at an early
hour this morning by firing a bul
let into her heart. The tradgedy,
which occured while the rest of
the family were asleep contains
certain elements of mystery, as no
cause for her rash act is known.
She was found with the pistol
clutched tightly in her hand and
was dead. Her husband who was
visiting in Memphis at the time,
was horrified on learning of his
wife’s death, and is mystified as
to the cause.

home.
