Arkansas, as second class mail matter
ARKANSAS TO THE FRONT
Don’t talk of crop failures. There
never has been but one crop fail
ure in Independence county, with
in the memory of man, and if the
conditions which prevailed at that
time, with respect to the better
knowledge and methods of fann
ing, were repeated in this year,
there would be no crop failure.
Old people here say that they
have never seen a crop failure in
Independence county. Of course
there have been a few bad crops,
and some indifferent ones. How
would that strike the people of
Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebras
ka and other communities in ev
ery direction from Newark?
The Almighty has been incom
parably good to us therefore let
this whole community arise and
sing:
“Praise God from whom all
blessings flow.”
On the hills and in the bottoms
of Independence county, corn, cot
ton, alfalfa and everything else,
known to this latitude, grows to
perfection. Knowledge of these
facts explains why a farm near
Newark is worth $100 per acre.
Many tracts of land near Newark
slighted $0 years ago at $2 per
acre, cannot be touched at $10.
We know of a farm that can be
bought now at less than $10 per
acre, but in ten years $80 will not
touch it.
This is the way a lot of us fel
lows are losing out. Some are ex
pecting to find something better
elsewhere, to their own loss.
••'Tim distance lends enchantment to
the view,
And robes the mountain in its u/ure
hue.1’
A grassy spot in the shade al
ways looks greener and cooler from
a distance than nearby. There is
always something better just over
the way. This is why a lot of us
blockheads are forever gazing in
to the distant future, and our pre
sent surroundings are not good
enough. We fail to recognize that
God and Good and Fortune are
with us right now. We know lots
of fools who laugh at Arkansas
because ignoramuses from other
states have a habit of doing so.
All well informed people are now
aware of the fact that in the var
iety of its natural resources, Ark
ansas is the richest state on the
American Continent. And within
live years no well informed man
will be excusable if he does not
know that Independence county is
the best part of Arkansas.
Hut there are many people
who do not know that Arkansas is
now projecting and carrying to
completion large drainage systems,
costing millions of dollars, which
will make Arkansas the most pro
ductive state in the union.
Arkansas is the greatest State in
the Union in natural resources hut
the people have been too back
ward or too modest to toot their
own horn, and the State has thus
permitted other less favored States
to outstrip her in attracting new
settlers and commercial andindus
trial enterprises.
THE FARMER AST)
THE STATE FAIR
The Journal hopes the farmers
f Independence county will send
, creditable exhibit of the county’s
agricultural products to the State
Fair at Hot Springs this fall. It
\ >uld result in much good in
1 inging oui county favorably to
e notice of the general public,
many people from outside the
ate attend these fairs every fall.
The Journal is devoting a good
deal of space to boosting the fair,
because we think it is a good thing
for Arkansas. We get no pay for
this work, but it is done cheerfully
because we love Arkansas and are
interested in her progress, and
want to see her grow and prosper,
and we believe the State Fair will
prove a strong factor for good in
the present great state-wide move
ment for a greater and better Ar
kansas.
The Journal hopes our county
will be creditably represented at
the fair. We have as great a var
iety of products worthy of exhibi
tion as any county in thestate, and
we should take pride in showing
them. Our people do not properly
appreciate the value of the State
Fair, but we hope to see them
wake up and take more interest
in it.
Every farmer in the county who
can possibly do so should take his
family and attend the fair. If you
cannot take the family, go your
self anyway, study the exhibits,
attend the farmers’ lectures, rub
elbows with the folks from other
counties and absorb all the infor
mation you can, and our word for
il you will come back home great-.
]y benefitted. with a broader view
of things, with a better opinion of
your state and a determination to
do better and greater things than ;
you have done in the past.
It affords an opportunity for
gaining new ideas and general in
formation that the thinking, pro
gressive farmer cannot afford to
miss, and we hope they will take
advantage of it in the proper man
ner.
THE OLD LOG SCHOOL HOUSE
The old log school house, so dear
to the memory of our fathers, will
soon be a thing of the past in Ar
kansas. It is said that there has
not been a log school house built
in the state in five years, and the
passage of each year witnesses the
destruction of one or more of these
structures, around which cluster
many pleasant memories of earlier
days, and bring to mind the many
obstacles and disadvantages under
what our fathers were schooled.
There are now only 108 log
school houses in Arkansas, and the
passage of a few more years will
witness their utter destruction.
The boys and girls of today en
joy many educational advantages
never dreamed of by their parents
when they were children, and we
often think that the children of
today do not appreciate their op
portunities along this line.
In this day of many schools, com
I petent teachers, modern methods,
i comfortable buildings and eqip
ment, it seems little less than a
crime for any boy or girl to grow
up in ignorance.
County fairs will be held in a
number of counties in the state
this fall, and it is very much to be
regretted that Independence is not
I among the number.

The Journal suggests that the
people of Newark and those along
the public road running north by
the Scott school house set a date
some time in the near future to
meet and put in a couple of days
work on this road. There is a
great deal of travel over this
road and some places in it get very
bad during the winter. Two or
three days work would put ;t in
good condition, and the time and
money spent in the work would
pay big dividends. The same is
true of the road leading to Cord;
and both these roads could be put
in good condition by a little united
effort upon the part of those who
use them._
Dr. Wiley says he does not know
what a mint julep is, and the Com
mercial Appeal invites him to come
to Memphis and be shown. If Doc
really wants to know, there is prob
ably no place on earth outside of
Kentucky that could come any
nearer giving him the desired in
formation than Memphis. When it
comes to drink, Memphians yield
to no one.
Not the least discouraged by
four defeats, officersof the Oregon
State Equal Suffrage Association
are preparing to wage a most vig
orous campaign to carry the state
for woman's suffrage at the presi
dential election to be held next
year.
There will be many fairs held
throughout the Southwest and ev
ery farmer a< well as others who
visit the county and state fairs will
have a permanent and paying in
vestment in the money spent and
time required.- Farm and Ranch.
('lay Henderson has announced
as a candidate for circuit clerk of
Lawrence county. Clay is well
known in Newark and has many
friends here who hope he may be
the winner.

| of avoiding sickness in her family, es- :
pecially among the children, by the
! use of a free sample bottle of the fa
mous laxative, Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup
Pepsin. This offer of the doctor’s to
send a free sample bottle has been re
sponded to by thousands of women
in all parts of America.
This Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Is a
truly wonderful laxative and especially
adapted to the needs of babies and
children because it is pleasant to taste
and no child will refuse it. Then, it is
mild and never gripes. It is all that
a child's remedy should be, though it is
a good laxative for tlie whole family
I because It Is effective at all ages. It
1 Is simply not dynamic like salts, pills
and powerful cathartics, which should
not be given to children anyway.
Nine times out of ten when a child
complains and you don't know exactly
