ISSUES STATEMENT
TO THE PEOPLE
Oldfield Cautions Voters to Look Out for Dirty
Stories That May be Started Against
Him on Eve of the Election
Editor Newark Journal: I noticed
that the Batesville Guard is mis
representing me and my record in
Congress in every way possible,
and I shall appreciate your kind
ness if you will publish this short
letter in The Journal, so that your
readers may understand the facts.
The editor of the Guard, Mr.
Trevathan, is very mad with me,
because he could not force me to
break my word with regard to
the postmastership at Batesville,
and recommend Mr. Trevathan
for the postmastership. 1 refused,
at his command,to break my prom
ise to Mr. Sam Deener and his
friends, and I don’t believe there
is a man in Independence county,
or elsewhere, who would want me
to break my word about the post
mastership at Batesville, or any
thing else.
The Guard criticises me because
I voted for and spoke for the
Alaskan Railway Appropriation
bill. This is one of the greatest
pieces of constructive legislation
passed since the Democratic party
went into power a little more than
a year ago, and it was strongly
supported by the President, Sec
retary of State Bryan, Speaker
Champ Clark, Leader of the House
Oscar Underwood, and all of the
members of the present cabinet,
as well as three-fourths of the
Democrats in both houses of Con
gress.
I expect to uphold the hands of
the Democratic Administration
and I know that the people want
me to do that. But this isn’t the
trouble with Mr. Trevathan. He is
simply mad with me because he
cannot control me, and he is tell
ing every untruth that he can
think of, or imagine, in his paper.
There is absolutely no telling what
he will say and what misrepresen
tations he will print in his paper
this week when he knows I will
have no opportunity to answer
him. He says in the Guard that I
have made some statement in the
presence of Clint Davidson, at
some time or some where, which
is absolutely untrue, and the edit
or of the Guard knows it is untrue.
I make this statement hoping
that the people will not be misled
by the many falsehoods regarding
me which have appeared and may
appear in the Guard between nowr
and the 25th of this month.
Yours very truly,
W. A. Oldfield.
BELLAMY’S PROMISES
“Oseola—Order for new Frisco
depot to be built February, 1913.”
The foregoing statement is clipped
from Major George W. Bellamy’s
campaign literature, wrho is making
the race for the third term from
this district. If such an order has
been issued the major should have
seen that such w-as complied writh,
and then the people of Osceola
would have had some excuse for
supporting him even for third
term. As the matter stands Feb
ruary, 1913, passed into history a
year hence and not even one stick
of timber has been placed on the
ground with which to erect this
new depot he speaks of. Major
Bellamy is an excellent genteman
in every respeat, but how he
expects support from a community
after promising four years to do
someteing then fails is more than
wre can understand. Osceola Times.

LET US HELP YOU
q GET A START q
While, perhaps with many people, the
main object of using Bank Protection for
the odd ends of their income is to accumu
late small sums into a useable lump sum,
there is a broader and more constructive
principle involved—the building of a Bank
Credit, getting oneself in a position where
the banker can help one to get ahead.
Why not take immediate advantage of
Our Bank Account Plan and make use of
our facilities and equipment for helping
you?

ALEXANDER ENDORSED
; To Whom It May Concern, Greeting:
This is to ceitify that we have personally known J. R. Alexander
of Newark for several years. He has lived in Newark since 1905.
That we believe him to be a good, moral man, of sober and industri
ous habits. That we think him, as a lawyer, to be true and faithful
to his clients, and above reproach. That he is able and well qualified
to fill the office of County Representative, and if elected would make
the people a good officer, and take care of the interests of the great
common people. That he carried his township by a good majority
over five good men as his opponents for the Legislature in the pri
mary of 1912, and in justice we believfe him much stronger now with
■ the people than he was then.

Little Rock, March 14.—From
reports coming in from all
parts of the State, the officers of
the State Teachers’ Association
predict that the annual meeting to
be held at Little Rock, April 16,17

SEED SITUATION IS
BECOMING SERIOUS

and 18, will be the most largely
attended meeting in the history of
the Association.
Strong programs for both the
general and section meeting of
the Association are being prepared
and will soon be ready for publi
cation and distribution. The pro
grams will contain something of
special and direct interest to every
teacher who attends this meeting.
The four hundred or more
attendance leaders are active and !
enthusiastic in “boosting” the!
attendance at this meeting. A
number of principals and superin
tendents have written that every
teacher from their schools will be
in attendance at the meeting
tnis year.
During the last few years the
attendance at the annual Associ
ation meeting has been steadly1
growing and the officers of the
Association are plannig and work
ing to make the meeting in April
the “biggest and best” in all its
history. The newspapers of the
State are generously co-operation
in the attendance campaign by
giving notice and publicity to the
meeting through their colums
from time to time.
Every teacher should plan to
attend the April meeting ot the
Association. The inspiration and
professional uplift that come from
these meetings must mean much
to the teachers in their wrork. An
attendance of 2,500 teachers has
been set as the st andard for the
April meeting. It will be a matter
of special interest to the large
number of rural teachers of the
State to know that the discussions
at the general meeting will have
for their theme “Rural School
Improvement and Professionl
Efficiency.”
The county candidates will be
in Newark in full force next Mon
day. Come out and hear them.
The seed corn and seed cotton
situation is more serious this year
than it has been for some time,
according to Mr. D. C. Welty,
Commissioner of Agriculture for
the Iron Mountain, whose depart
ment has carried on quite an in
vestegation as to conditions, nnd
who has gone into the matter very
thoroughly with both State and
Federal authorities.
The long wet fall made seed
gathering and storing difficult and
the investigations which have been
carried on by the Iron Mountain
show that there is a serious situ
ation confronting the farmers in
securing good planting sped for
their corn and cotton crops this
season.
No farmer can afford to plant
seed, a large portion of which will
not grow, and a little time spent
in making the germination test
will often save replanting of field
or a reduced yield due to poor
seed.
Anyone not informed as to the
most convenient ways of testing
can easily get the information by
writing to the State Experiment
Station or to Mr. Welty, care of
the Iron Mountain Ry. at St.
Louis, who will be glad to respond
at once.
The Agricultural Department
of the Railway Co. is securing ah
possible imformation as. to the
sources of supply of good planting
seed, and is furnishing the infor
mation as widely as is possibie in
the territory along the line, and
both bankers and merchants as
well as farmers are co operating
nobly in bettering the seed situa
tion
The question of good cotton seed
is a very important ohe. In many
localities, it may be impossible to
obtain home grown seed. In this
case seed should be obtained as
near home as is possible, both for
economy and in order that same
may be acclimated.
