THE NEWARK JOURNAI
Published Weekly
BY THE
JOURNAL PRINTING CO.
The meatless and wheatless
days are not being observed
in Newark and vicinty as they
should be. Strict observance
of these days throughout the
entire community will mean
the saving of an enormous
amount of food, and as food is
an important factor in winning
the war it is the patriotic duty
of very loyal American family
to observe these days and help
conserve the food supply.
Don’t depend on the other fel
low' but begin now to observe
w’heatless Tuesdays and meat
less Wednedays every wreek.
The Batesville Record says
that Batesville needs another
bank. That town has three
splendid banks, each one well
managed, w’ide awake and
progressive and each doing its
full share for the material pro
gress and development of
Batesvile and surrounding
country. If Batesville w’ere as
progressive in all other res
pects as she is in the banking
business she w'ould be a much
better town.
Farmers should plant cotton
Don’t pay any attention to the
fellow that says farmers should
not plant cotton. But the farm
ers should bear in mind that a
ten million bale crop will not
require as much cultivation
and will bring higher prices
than a twrenty million bale
crop.
Corn this year will serve
two main purposes. It will
help to feed us so that we can
reduce our consumption of
wheat and send more to Eu
rope. And it will feed hogs
for both ourselves and our as
sociates in the war.
Vi ■
Probably the weather man
didn’t send this snow for the
purpose of putting anyone to
any inconvenience or anything
like that, but just to see how
efficient the street cleaning
departments of the big cities
are.
It is now claimed by the
advocates of liquor that if pro
hibition prevails as a national
measure that there will be no
convicts to work on the roads.
This is truly a distressing state
of affairs for the liquor traf
fic.
The purchase of Thrift
Stamps is evidence of patriot
ism and good business judge
ment. Encourage your child
ren to save their nickels and
dimes and buy Thrift Stamps.
The food supply of the world
is short and getting shorter.
You can not take eighteen mil
lion men out of production and
put them into destruction of
human products and expect
things to go on as before.
If we were as willing to
leave the punishment of our
enemies in the hands of the
Lord as we are the rewarding
of our friends, there would be
less strife in this old world.
There is very little hope for
the man or woman who cannot
get in step with the trend of
progress. They are “dead
(ones” and are a hindrance to
the rising generation.
Meatless days and wheatless
days are sure steps toward
fightless days.

THE FATE OF THE FARM
Of all the deep questions
involved in the conflict now
raging, the question of most
vital interest to the people of
the entire world is “What of
the American Farms this year”
Possibly, too, no other fact
assumes such positive form as
that the farms and farmers of
America must win the war if
is is to be won (a question that
can admit of no discussion.
But farms cannot be operat
ed without man power. And
man power is the one thing
American farms lack.
Then what is the answer?
Man power must be sup
plied.
Easy enough to assert but
difficult to accomplish. For
years now the farms of this
country have been depleted
of the lusty young blood that
should have stayed to enrich
them. The army has added

"A good cough remedy is one that can he
depended upon to cure coughs. Not one
that cures some particular cough, but coughs in general.
It must be a cough remedy that can be relied upon for all the
different coughs that are so prevalent. While the causes of all
coughs are primarily the same, yet the condition of the patient
is what makes the difference in the nature of the cough itself.
Coughs of healthy persons are easier to cure than the coughs of
invalids. The powerful convulsive cough of a large man is
harder to cure than the cough of a baby. If you get a remedy
that will cure a large man's cough and yet not be too powerful
for the baby, you have a good cough remedy.
in’s Cough Remedy
is just this kind of remedy. It is good for any member of the
family. It relieves coughs of all kinds. It is the product of much
thought and study to produce an ideal cough remedy. It is com
posed of things which cure easily and soothingly without harm
ing the most delicate tissues of die throat It acts as easily and
safely on the young as on the old, and is the ideal remedy for
•oughs, colds, croup, influenza, whooping cough and bronchitis.”

It is plain to a blind man
that the places of these young
men must be filled if our farms
are to be operated at their full
capacity this year. But there
are no available sources of
supply.
We are told by Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson that the
country is expected to produce
an even greater crop of all
-taples this year than was pro
duced last year- The demand,
with the fact that the remaind
er of the army draft will be
i called in the spring, is liable
to render the situation acute.
We confess our utter inabil
: ity to see how the farms of the
i country are to be run success
i fully without the aid of those
| bred to the farm.
There are no more patriotic
class of people in this country
taken as a class, But even
their patriotism cannot accom
plish the impossible. It may
yet become necessary that the
government restore to the
farms, the men taken from
them and fill their places in
the ranks with men drawrn
from other walks of life.
