Ask This Gentleman to
Help Build Roads
Everybody in this section of
the county are now deeply in
terested in building good roads,
and as a result of the united
efforts of the people of the
community, some splendid
work is being done.
The agitation that has led
to this work was started by The
Journal and the business men
of Newark, and the principal
part of the money for carrying
on the work has been contribut
ed by the business men and
citizens of Newark, nearly all
of whom have contributed lib
erally.
nut there is one man who is
rolling in wealth that has been
gathered in from the rural dis
tricts, and that man has yet to
give his first dollar. At any
rate, no one appears to have
heard of him contributing any
thing to the cause.
He is the MAIL ORDER
MAN, and it is high time for
HIM to dig.
Many of you have been send
ing him your money for these
many years, depleting the fi
nancial condition of your home
community in order that he
and his may ride in expensive 1
automobiles and wear rich furs,
laces and diamonds.
He counts his wealth by the 1
millions, all contributed by his (
“dear friends” ’from the conn- (
try districts. A few hundreds to r
him would be but a drop in '
the bucket, yet it would mean '
much to you if expended in im- (
proving tlm roads that you must ‘
travel in earning your daily
bread.
Now suppose each one of you 1
good people who have been 1
handing your hard earned cash s
over to the mail order man in
the past just write him a letter
and tell him your roads are sad
ly in need of repairs and that
all the local business men have
contributed liberally to the t
fund for building good roads.
Just tell him that when the J,
rains come the mud is deep, >
and traffic is difficult, and it ,
is hard for you to earn the r
golden dollars that go to swell 1
the great wealth that he is pil- j i
ing up. | c
Tell him that you have been t
his friend in the past. Now ask li
him to prove his mettle by be- e
coming your friend in the pres- t
ent, with a few dollars for the f
good roads fund. ti
Ask him to “dig.” and dig i J
deeply. If he is your friend—if n
he cares a rap for you—HE o
WILL DIG. But if he thinks on- j b

An estimate of the numbei
of rats in the United State:
places the rodent populatior
at 300,000,000. This is not ab
solutely accurate, of course
but the census is not far from
approximating the total num
ber. These 300,000,000 rats, il
is figured, cause an annual lost
to the people of the United
States amounting to $360,000,
000. Of this sum. $100,000,
1000 represents the amount of
grain consumed—enough, to
provide sustenance for every
man, woman and child in the
country. The balance of the
loss is due to damage done to
buildings, clothing, provisions
of every sort and supplies kept
in storehouses.
The satisfaction of going tc
the smokehouse when meat or
lard is needed is worth all the
effort required to raise and
cure meat for the home. With
corn and wheat for bread, pork
and bacon for meat, cows for
milk and butter there are no
reasons why farmers may not
live cheaply and well. It does
not require a large money crop
to provide (he necessities where
there is plenty of food in the
smokehouse, pantry and gran
ary. Let us strive to produce
these things next year.
Most of us admire the man
who is not afraid to say what
he thinks—but we get most
awfully disgusted with the man
who doesn't know when to
shut up.

BANKS OF ARKANSAS
ARE FULL OF MONEY
Old King Cotton Fills Treas
uries With His Golden
Harvest of Dollars
There never was so much
money in Arkansas in the his
tory of the state.
The September call showed
$51,000,000 on deposit in the
387 state banks of Arkansas,
with a relative amount in the
3G nationals. Indications are
that the November call, which
is expected any day, will show
an aggregate for the state
banks alone of more than $100,
000,000. This is the opinion ex
pressed by State Hank Commis
sioner John M. Davis, of Little
Rock, who is one of the state’s
greatest disciples of Optimism.
From all parts of the state
come reports of overflowing
banks, and it is the farmer that
is chiefly responsible. Cotton is
again king, and has filled the
treasures full with its golden
harvest of dollars. Some of the
bankers have reported to Mr.
Davis that they have had no
time for anything but to stand
at the window and take in
money.
In fact, some of the banks
have too much money.All loans
i are made where there is any
collateral. But as a matter of
, fact, there are more old loans
being taken up than there are
new loans being made. Mer
chants everywhere are report
ing that old accounts are being
taken up, and debts that had
been charged off the books are
being paid.
1 he unusual spectacle is
presented of the farmer hold
ing the balance of financial
gain, but the money that he is
bringing into the state is grad
ually filtering through all the
channels of trade and com
merce. The cities are the last
to teel the impulse of prosperi
ty, but it is coming even there
The election of Woodrow Wil
son has solidified the feeling
of optimism that was already
prevalent, and the future h
roseate with hope and happi
ness.

CELEBRATE FIFTIETH
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
Newport, Nov.20.—The Rev
and Mrs. M.B.Umsted of Tuck
erman, celebrated their golden
wedding anniversary Sunday,
surrounded by a large family
of children, grandchildren and
a host of friends, who met with
them at the Methodist church
at Tuckerman, where Mr. Lim
ited has served as pastor dur
ing the last two years.
Rev. and Mrs. Umsted are
natives of Gipson County,
Tennessee, both having been
horn and reared near Medina,
that county, coming to Arkan
sas more than 40 years ago.
Since that time Mr. Umsted has
been actively engaged in the
Methodist ministry, having
many friends in the White Riv
er conference, where he has la
bored for nearly half a century.
Mr. Umsted, who has the
bearing of a middle-aged man,
despite his three score and ten,
came to Arkansas during New
port s shanty days, and here
organized the first M. E.
Church, South, in 1872. The
Rev. Mr. Umsted relates that
on the occasion if his first ser
mon in Newport, hunters were
busily engaged in shooting
ducks while the services were
in progress, although the day
was Sunday. The Rev. Mr. Um
sted and his wife have labored
long and faithfully in the up
building of this section of the
State morally and constructive
ly. and as a reward have the
abiding faith and love of thou
sands of loyal friends, both in
the church and out.

Is Not All That Good
ADVER TISIN G
AC CQMPL IS HES
It an individual is to cultivate his personal friend
ships he must keep in touch with his friends. As Dr.
Johnson puts it, we must keep our friendships in const
ant repair.”
It is so with a merchant. Through his advertising
he is enabled to keep in communication with his store’s
patrons and friends. He gives them the new facts about
his offerings. Sometimes he tells them of special op
portunities he has created through which they may
save money in needed purchases. These advertisements
of “special sales” may usually be relied upon to stimu
late business—to make quick turnovers of stocks which
have accumulated.
But the store’s advertising does more than to ac
complish clearances, or to speed up sales of particular
lines of goods. It repairs and cements store-friend
ships. The slightly “peeved” customer, who may be
holding a mild grievance, is won back through the in
fluence of advertising which makes the store’s policies
understood. The man or the woman who may have de
cided that, for some reason unknown to the merchant,
they will transfer their trading to some other store, be
comes interested in a special offering made in the ad
vertisements of the innocent offender, and comes back
to the first allegiance.
Advertising affords the means of holding waver
ing friendships. And that is a task facing every mer
chant—and more important than the immediate sale.
