simply felt as it life was
for but a short time. My
husband was worried . ..
One evening, while read

case similar to mine, and
went straight for some
Cardui for me to try.

“I continued to get bet

with no further trouble.
My baby was fat and
strong, and myself—thank
God—am once more hale

Community Breeding of rarm Animals
The United States is an in
dividualistic country. On the
whole this spirit has greatly
promoted enterprise. Still
r-ome fields, notably in agricul
ture, there has been a failure
to acheive results possible by
united effort. This is specially
in such a matter as the breed
ing of fine cattle and othe:
stock. The tendency is foi
each stock raiser to pick the
bleed of cattle, swine or sheep
which he prefers, regardless
of what his neighbors ar(
doing. As a result, compara
lively few communities have i
reputation for breeding am
particular kind of animal.
When a community fixes up
on one breed of animal, anc
raises that, it greatly profits
i
I
by specializing on that one line
is so much better where one
breed prevails, that he seek,
that community over others.
The result of specializing or
one breed is that the small
breeder gets recognition where
otherwise he would be com
pletely overlooked. While
buyers are visiting a town the.,
will look over his stock, but
they would never come just *.
see his little herd,
i Localities that specialize or
one thing get a world wide
reputation. So famous did the
; state of Vermone become as t
center for Merino sheep, tha1
they used to send from Aus
tralia for them, and the na
tives supposed that all Mer
! The opportunity of the buyei
inos in America were grown
in Vermont, as they were al
i ways called Vermont Merinos
no matter where they came
fi om.
Then breeders in Waukesha
county, Wisconsin, started in
1906 a movement to raise pure
bred Guernseys. In 1908 thev
had 277 pure breds of this
; strain, and in 1914 they had
2,000. During these four years
the butterfat production in the
county increased 100 pounds
per cow. It made the county
known all over the country.
Sixty-six breeders owned in
1918, $400,000 worth of Guer
nseys. Similar results in hog
breeding accomplishments a!
■ ready started can be secured in
• this section if properly carried
• on.
Why Not Celebrate?
Did Newark ever have a real
honest-to-goodness Fourth of
July celebratin? So far as we
are able to ascertain she did
not. The files of The Journal
which have kept the happen
ings of the town recorded since
11)01 fail to reveal that New
ark ever turned out and had a
big gala day on the anniversary
or the signing of the Declara
tion of Independence.
As usual no fitting festival'
as a tribute to this noted date
in history was arranged this
year, but somehow—perhaps
just through the desire to sec
a ball game—which, by-the
way, have been very scarce in
Newark ihis season—someone,
the credit we think belongs to
Cargile Freeze—suggested we
have a ball game on the Fourth.
Preliminaries were arranged
with the Moorefield team to
meet the Newark lads on the
local diamond.
The game was a loosely
played affair, resulting in a tie,
the score being 9. and 9. By
unanimous agreement both
teams withdrew from the field
in order to give the local negro
lads an opportunity to cross
bats with the Diaz dusky swat
ters.
The Diaz sons of Ham had
the local negros badly outclass
ed, and the game resulted in
a score of 15 to one in fvor oi j
Diaz. But the hilarity which j
a negro ball game brings add
ed a big feature to the day.
The Fourth of July vs. the
Town of Newark secured a
shut-down or shut-up of all
business houses from one to
live o’clock p.m.
The Batesville Community
negro band gave a concert on
the streets of Newark after the
ball games*.
It appears to us that the
Fourth of July would be the
best time for any town to have
u big celebration. It is a good
day for everyone to take stock
jf their citizenship.
It has been many years since
we were normal, so long we
have almost forgotten what it
is. All at once we went sizz
ling upwards like a sky-rocket
—exploded—and then came
back to earth with a thud. We
were bewildered and are just
tiow beginning to take a nor
mal view of things.
If we remember that w-e are
.itizens of the best country on
sarth, despite the pessimists, if
we remember that we have to
lave food and clothes and
homes to live in, and picture
'hows and wireless outfits and
such things, and the only way
lo get them is to earn them,
!iot to take them away from
some other fellow,if we remem
ber that we are all in the same
boat and pulling for the same
port, that what benefits the
farmer benefits the communi
ty as a whole, that we are on
nir way somewhere and are
going to get there.
Now would be a good time
to set our determination that
another Fourth of July shall
lot go by without Newark
engaging in a celebration that
is worthy of the town and that
will do justice to the occasion.
COUNTY INSTITUTES
Little Rock, July 5.—Reports
received in the office of the
-date Superintendent indicate
that the attendance at county
institutes and normals is much
larger than ever before. There
is also a greater inclination up
on the part of the teachers to
take normal and post-gradu
ate courses in other institutes
to qualify themselves more
thoroughly for their profession.
The standard of teachers in
Arkansas is being very rapidly
| raised to a higher plane. This
I indicates a raising of the stand
ard of educaton through im
proved currucula, added fea
tures of educational develop
ment and more favorable phy
sical surroundings for the stud
! ent.
BUT THE SHOE IS ON
THE OTHER FOOT NOW
Republicans couldn’t critl
:cise enough during the final
I years of the Wilson adminis
Iration. Everything the ad
ministration did was wrong;
every ailment of the world was
laid at the door of President
Wilson. Now the shoe is on
the other foot—the Republican 1
foot. And how the Republi- j
tans appreciate the troubles
they are experiencing tan be ‘
imagined only by those who
follow official Washington in
the whys and wherefores em- 1
anating from Republican lead- 1
prs.
The tariff, the bonus, the 1
railroad strike, the coal strike,
the ship subsidy, Attorney 1
[General Daughtery and Henry (
Ford—these are only a few (
of the thorns in the side of the '
Republican administration. Ev- .

THE HELPFUL SPIRIT
A newspaper exchange tells
low a man, after a run of very
lard luck, had the misfortune
0 have his house burn to the
ground. The neighbors took
lold and built him another one,
md charged him nothng either
or materials or labor.
It harly needs to be said that
his happened not in any city
leighborhood, where the peo
de claim to be very progress
ee, but in a country town.
Country people are always
loing these things. In the citi
s few people bother about the
lifficulties from which their
eighbors suffer. If they do
now, they don’t seem to think
1 is up to them to do anything.
THE TRUTH
Wife: Look me n the face
nd deny that you married me
or my money.
Husband: Yes, it must have
