Griffin s League Seems
The newspapers of Arkan
sas have handed Ben L. Grif
fin a bunch of very neat pack
ages as a result of the cards
sent out by him solicitingmem
bers for the so-called “Local
Self Government League.”
The following from the Ste
phens News is a fair sample of
what the papers are saying
about Ben:
“The editor of The News is
in receipt of a letter from Ben
L. Griffin, “Acting President”
of the “Local Self Government
League” or to be more specific,
the “liquor league” of Arkan
sas, requesting that we join his
order and become a member.
“Ben wasted his time and
stamps when he mailed us that
letter. We have no time to fool
away with a man who fell
from the high estate of Secre
tary of the Farmers’ Union to
“Acting President” of the
“Swilltub League” of Arkan
sas. People who know Ben
won’t follow him for his paths
lay in uncertain places, and as
a rule people don’t travel that
way. It would be interesting to
know who the real “president”
of Ben’s shebang is. If they
have one they ought to put him
forward if their cause is wor
thy of consideration. It can’t go
nowhere hitched on to Ben
Unpopular
Griffin.”
Let’s all get together, choke
out our little personal griev
ances, animosities and faction
alisms; then form an organiza
tion of Progressive Boosters
and go to work in earnest to
push Newark to the front. Ev
ery dollar spent and every ef
fort made in this direction will
return good dividends to every
citizen of the town. Newark is
going to be just what our own
people make it—not what
somebody else makes it—and
if we cannot get together and
push together for the advance
ment of our own interests, we
cannot expect to make very
much progress.
Better homes will be the re
sult of better farming. Good
farming means pleasant, com
fortable and attractive homes.
No costly building, perhaps,
but neat and restful homes.The
farm is failing when it does not
support the family and pro
vide a comfortable and pleas
ant home.—Farm and Ranch.
If there is an> chance to get
the proposed government ni
trate plant located on White
river, the people of all North
Arkansas ought to get in be
hind the movement and go af
ter it good and strong. The up
per White river affords an
ideal location for such a plant,
and many of those who are in
touch with the situation be
lieve there is a good chance to
get the plant here. The erec
tion of a twenty million dollar
plant on the upper White riv
er will be a boost for this sec
tion that will be worth some
thing to Arkansas.
Fifteen carloads of catalogs
will be distributed in Arkan
sas by a big mail order con
cern of Chicago, The profits
made from the sale of goods
through these catalogs will
help considerably in making
Chicago a greater city—and of
course we all want to see Chi
cago grow and prosper.
The schools of a country are
its barometers of progress.They
register our advancement in
education and good citizen
ship. Every citizen should al
ways be ready to do every
thing he can for the upbuild
ing of the schools of his com
munity.
What about a Boosters Club
for Newark? Are we going to
get together and organize and
push for a Bigger and Better
Newark, or are we just going
to slide along and be content
to take what comes our way?
To it’s farmer friends, Farm
and Ranch says: “If you love
your farm well enough to want
to spend the rest of your days
on it it is worth a thousand <
dollars an acre, but if you want
to sell it is worth less.
The fact that Newark is now
on the up-grade and is build
ing and growing, should cause
every citizen of the town to
join the Boosters and go to
work for a Bigger and Better
Newark.
There isn’t an average of
one head of cattle o every for
ty acres of land in Arkansas.
This is a deplorable condition
to exist in a state where stock
raising is so easy and profit
able.
The appointment of a “boss
doctor” to some minor govern
ment position seems the great
est issue Candidate Hughes
has been able to bring out
against the Democrats.
The Bull Moose ticket has no!
head and it begins to look as I
if the Republicans have only a!
figurehead.

“I want to tell you what wonderful benefit 1 have re
ceived from the use of Thedford’s Black-Draught,” writes
Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky.
“It certainly has no equal for la grippe, bad colds,
liver and stomach troubles. I firmly believe Black-Draught
saved my little girl’s life. When she had the measles,
they went in on her, but one good dose of Thedford’s
Black-Draught made them break out, and she has had no
more trouble. I shall never be without

Don’t let the interest in the
good roads movement lag. The
county needs the roads andthis
is one movement in which ev
erybody can be a booster.
A great many of us enjoy
seeing the other fellow “get
his.” but we raise an awful
howl when our own toes get
pinched.
The farmer who produces
his own living and is able to
sell his cotton at a fair price,
is the man who is in position
to enjoy some real prosperity.
