Mental Attitude
and Business.
Many panics and depres
sions have started, not because
there was sufficient reason for
the same, but as the result of
pessimism in the business com
munity. And on the contrary,
if you could create the gener
al feeling at the present mo
ment that highly prosperous
times are immediately in
sight, you could have all signs
of depression cleared away
within a few weeks.
Financial authroities say
that the recently perilous con
ditions of speculation and ex
travagance no longer exist.
But the business is held back
by the lack of faith of many,
who can’t seem to believe
that the country will buy a
normal volume of merchan
dise at present. As the con
sumption of commodities even
in hard times is something
enormous, there is business
for those who will get out and
hustle. And those who lack
faith in the future are the ones
who fail to secure the advan
tage of prosperity waves when
they come.
If in every community you
can get a group of hopeful
men working to spread the
spirit of business optimism, it
will not be long before tfte
reports of gloom have disap
peared, and business will be
gin to get better.
The people who rise in the
business world are almost in
variably optimists. Their spirit
of sunshine shows out in the
trifles of daily life.
If others think the country
is going to the dogs, these fel
lows see basic conditions
sound, and unfavorable influ
ences being dissipated. The
“It can’t be done” spirit fades
out of sight in their presence.
A fellow who has that tem
perament quickly wins friends
and attention. If there is a
question of promoting any
thing, or finding a man for
some big position, a fellow of
that type gets it. He inspires
confidence by his persistent
feeling that anything that
needs to be done can be done.
Why Boys Leave
the Farm.
Answering to this question,
a boy writes the Indiana
Farmer’s Guide: “Ask a boy
who has left the farm and gone
to the city, why he left, and
he will tell you that farming
was a drudge. After the day’s
work is over, you have noth
ing to do but go to bed, while
in the city you can go out to
the parks, theatres, or picture
shows.”
Rcognizing the truth of the
ove contrast, progressive
towns provide entertainments
that give their young folks a
better time than they could
get in the city. And they
keep their young folks at
home.
Big Printing Contract
Comes to Newark.
A few days ago The Jour
nal was awarded a contract
by the State Printing Board
to print the House and Senate
Journals for the leigslature;
This is one of the biggest sin
gle printing contracts let by
the state board and will re
quire several months of .work
day and night to complete the
job.
The Journal has printed this
same job for the state on two
different occasions before, for
the sessions of 1917 and 1919.
The two Journals for the ses
sion of 1917 made a total of
1960 pages and for the session
of 1919 made a total of 2520
pages. The combined total
number of pages for the jour
nals for the two sessions was
4480 pages.
The fact that we printed
this job twice in succession,
and after it was printed else-!
where for the session of 1921,
The Journal was again award
ed the contract, proves that j
we gave absolute satisfaction
in the manufacture of printed
matter for the state govern
ment and that our work is
classed with the best.
When the contracts were let
at the recent meeting only!
eight firms in the state were
awarded contracts, Newark;
being the smallest town in the
state to ever receive a state
printing contract. This proves
again that our equipment;
ranks with those towns in the
state of many times the size
of Newark.

allowed to take the automo-l
bile or the horse to attend a
party at the village, frequent

big city.

THE MOVIES AS AN |
EDUCATIONAL FACTOR j
1
(Arkansas Democrat Editoral)
One of Little Rock’s leading
churphes offers as one of its
Sin day evening attractions a
half-hour entertainment of
motion pictures, the program
being divided equally between
geographical studies and movie
tours through important indus
tries of this country.
There is education in that,
of an easily assimilated sort
that is going to make the
motion picture one of our most
important educational factors.
The Little Rock public
schools have found the same
use for the movie, and Little!
Rock’s example is now being
followed in many places ini
the country.
The other day at the Chica
go Academy of Sciences, liv
ing examples of microscopic
animal life, projected upon!
the screen by means of a mi- ■
croscope attached to a stere
opticon and magnified many
times, furnished an ineresting
variant of motion pictures for
an audience of children and
their elders.
There would 3eem to be al
nr.'St no limit to the possibili-;
ties of the motion picture in!
the field of education. We
learn so easily through the
eye, whereas our ears, so of
ten, are dull and unreceptive.
Great as have been the
strides in this field in the last
few months, there is no doubt
that the future holds much
more of progress. Those who
are overlooking the movie as
a factor in education are over
looking the biggest thing on
the horizon.

ROY LOSES RIGHT EYE
Calico Rock, July 2.—Hal!
Fowler, 14-year-old son of D.
G. Fowler of Huron, 12 miles
north of Calico Rock, was the
victim of an accident Friday
that destroyed the sight of his
right eye. The young man
was riding on a wagon, haul
ing some limber, and a piece
of-wire on some part of the
wagon broke, striking him in
the eye, cutting a deep gash.

POISON TO GET RID
OF ANTS IN HOUSE
Simple Means of Riding the
Place of Pests
Small ants, either black or
red, have a way of making
life miserable for the house
wife if they happen to find
the way to the kitchen or pan
try. Thebest method of get
ting rid of these little pests
seems to be by poisoning.
When the infestation con
sists entirely of the tiny red
ants, the following poison for
mula from the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture is given.
“V-2 pound of sugar, 125
grains arsenate of soda, 1
quart of water and 1 table
spoonful of honey. The mix
ture of the first three items
is heated to boiling, and when
ail sugar and poison is dis
solved, the honey is added,
when the mixture has cooled
it is put out on bits of sponge,
the more the better, where
ver the ants occur.”
Since the ants will carry the
sirup back to the nest, it kills
not only these workers, but
also the queen and little ants
that feed upon it. A house
heavily infested with these
ants cannot be freed from the
pest in a few days. It may
take several days but it is
worth the trouble.
As a rule the nest of black
ants is immediately outside
j
the house, often under on
near the porch, ir the nest can)
be located, the best method!
of extermination is to drive a!
stake into the ground near it
making several holes. Pour a
small quantity of carbon dis
ulphide in the holes and plug
them up with dirt to confine
the gas. It might be well to
spread a blanket or oil cloth
over the ground to make the
killing more effective.
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
N. F. Drake, geologist of:
the state university, will starti
a geological survey of Inde
pendence county within the:
next few days. The survey is
a part of a state-wide survey,
being made by the Depart-!
ment of Mines and Agricul
ture and will cover minerals. j
oil and gas. Among one of
the minerals that is considered
very important is phosphate,
of which large beds are found j
adjacent to Cushman.
Almost Any Excuse Goes.
We break many n promise to our
selves with ercuses so weak that w;
would be ashamed to offer them 1
another.
STRANGERS GET HI3 J
FORD AND HIS CASH
New Found Friends Get Car
and $80 in Money
Newport, July 6* J- k.
Southard, who came to this
county from Oklahoma a lew
weeks ago, driving through
in his Ford car, had his car
and camping outiit stolen on
the morning of July 4, while
fishing near Grand Glaize.
Southard was joined at
Grand Glaize by two men who
said they lived in the com
munity and were familiar with
good fishing places. South
ard accepted their companion
ship and camp was set up on
a nearby lake. Southard had
a tent and cooking outfit and
$80, which he had for safe
keeping in a small trunk. On
the morning of the fourth
Southard went up the lake
and on his return his car and
cash had disappeared, also
his eompaions. A phone mes
sage to Newport to the sheriff
revealed the fact that the men
with the car had been here
and bought gasoline and were
bn their way north. Efforts
are being made to locate them.
CHARLES BROWN KENT
Was born July 1, 1864, in
Greene County, Tenn., came
to Arkansas with his parents
and family in 1873; married
to Myra C. Reeves Aug. 18,
1887. This good man fell in
the long, long sleep of death
suddenly, dying in about twen
ty minutes after attacked. He
died at home in Oil Trough
bottom, just after his return
from Batesville where he had
spent the Fourth with rela
tives and old friends. He .was
buried at Maple Springs cem
etery by the writer and the
woodmen of the world. The
funeral was held at his home
at Oii Trough. He leaves two
daughters, Mrs. Willie David
son and Mrs. Clint Davidson,
two foster sons, William and
Ross Arnold, and his faithful,
devoted and loving wife. Also
five brothers and three sisters
and a host of friends and rel
atives. It is but a fitting no
tice that the names of his
brothers and sisters occur in
this tribute. W. M. Kent,
aged 75; Sarah C. Henry, 73;
John A Kent, 70; Caroline
Mtachem, 68; Clara Lewis,
64; Joe B. Kent, 62; B. G.
Korn. 60; Mary A. Seymore,
54; and EuJa P. Kent, 52.
Eight of the ten are living and
were in attendance at the sad
occasion. It was a sad scene
to see them bid farewell to
Charley till the day of final
account. A good man has
gone from among us.
He was a good citizen, a
noble and faithful husband, a
loving, tender father, and an
ideal neighbor. Best of all,
he was an humble child of
God.
l ne writer took him into the
Methodist church in 1909,
during- a meeting held at Oil
Trough by himself and Rev.
J. G. Parker. His house was
the preacher’s home and no
people ever dispensed more
bountiful and beautiful hos
, : ality than Charley and Mrs.
Kent.. TTis death is an end of
suffering to him, let it be an
end of tears to his loved ones.
God bless you alk You will
know where to find your
dear brother, father and hus
band.
