ROY M. CRAIG, Business Manager
Why the Home Paper?
Have you ever asked yourself why you
take your home paper, or why it is necessary
to have a home paper at all?
L)o so, and you will start a train of thou
ghts that will be illuminating to you.
The big city daily comes to you ami gives
you the important news of the outside world,
but you and your home people are too small for
a place in its columns.
About its only thought of you is the money
it gets from you.
It deals in world matters and is of value to
you because through it you obtain much of your
knowledge of the greater affairs of life.
But it utterly ignores you ami yours.
Hence the local paper, and likewise your
reason for taking the local paper.
You cannot exist without a knowledge of
the affairs of your home community.
You must know of the plans and of the
work of the local authorities, and you must
know of the doings of tin churches, and the
lodges, and of your neighbors, and of the com
munity in general.
You cannot obtain this knowledge from
the big city paper, but you can and do find it in
the columns of the home paper.
You buy the big cit\ daily because you
must know of the progress of the world, for
your mind is developing day by day and de
mands this greater fund of information.
But your mind craves even a more intimate
knolwedge of affairs that are vital to the in
terests of you and yours, and these things you
find only in the home paper.
To the great city daily you are but as a sin
gle pebble upon the beach, a drifting sand of
the desert.
But to the home paper you are one of us,
an important factor in the community, a force
with which to be reckoned.
A disrupted and disintegrating community
means a shrinkage anil loss in property values
and a stagnant public mind. Hence the home
paper has an ever watchful eye to the interests
of the community and of yourself, for only in
the preservation of the community ami of your
selt can the heme paper hope for a continued
existence.
The home paper is YOUR FRIEND, and
you know it.
And because you are loyal to your friends
and to the community you believe in the home
paper and its ceaseless w\ rk for home and
home people.
^ t'ur interests and these of the home pa
per are identical, and you need it ;uite as n.uch
as it needs you.
And the man who recognises the neces
sity for a community of interests becomes a
builder, and not a destrover.

Fayetteville Needs to Clean Up
Facts brought out during the recent inves
tigation at the Arkansas University show that
Fayetteville has quite a reputation as a “wide
open town. Gambling houses are permitted
to run unnton sted and whtskey is being sold in
unlimited quantities, it ;s said.
Conditions in regard to the sale of liquor
and the prevalence of gambling has an used the
indignation of the members of the board of
trustees, and it is said the board has demanded
that the ciizens and public officials of Fayette
ville must clean up the moral conditions of the
town and put a stop to bootlegging and gamb
ling.
It is a disgraceful state of affairs when th
citizens of the town in which is located the
State s highest institution of learning, counten
ance such conditions and thereby tacitly en
courage disregard for the law.
V
Don’t hesitate to give your neighbor i
mtpliment. He’ll absorb it like a sponge takej
water.
y
Of course the other fellow is always wronj
-but he doesn't know it.

We have fed starving Belgium, Armenia
and Servia; we have furnished food to the
fighting forces of Europe, cutting short our own
rations; we have preached the gospel of the
real brotherhood of man to all the world at a
, fearful cost in men and dollars; we struck the
decisive blow that put the enemy to rout. Now
we must complete the task for world peace
and prosperity. Buy Victory Bonds.

Late reports from Little Rock seem to in
dicate that Gov. Brough is beginning to hear
from members of the legislature who have gone
home since adjournment and talked with the
folks from up the creek. As a result, it seems
that the governor has about decided to trim
some of the appropriation bills, instead of call
ing the legislature back to pass a law to increa
se the tax rate.
-y
There are pessimists abroad in the land
who are saying that the Victory Liberty Loan,
subscriptions to which will begin April 21, can
not l)e “put over.” It is the same old crowd
who said the war could not be won. And, of
course, they cannot, or will not do it. But they
have no right to speak for the balance of the
world of America. “It will be done” is the ans
wer.

Advertising is the modern method of com
munication between the business man and the
consumer. Shrewd business men who have de
sirable propositions to offer know this and ad
vertise. If you want to know what these de
sirable propositions are. read the ads in this
paper each week. They tell the story and
name the merchant.

Mr. Root says the brewers are justified in .
resuming the making of 2 3-4 per cent beer, if <
they can prove it is non-intoxicating. If unable
to secure them elsewhere, we could pr bably -
furnish Mr. Root with a list of names of four or
five tell ws who would be willing to drink j
<ome of it to see if it is intoxicating. i

Good roads, real genuine good roads, that
the farmer can haul a load over all the year
round—that is the kind of roads the people
want, and they will be willing to pay for that
kind of good roads without a murmur.
-Q
To be sure, the one hundred and ten miles
of good roads which it A proposed to build in
Independence county will cost a lot of money.
But if properly built they will be worth every
cent they cost.

\\ ho is behind all this agitation for again
submitting the proposed new constitution?
Surely the people of the state are making no
great demand for its resubmission.
-y
And Old Joe Railey has announced that he
is forever through with the Democrats. Well,
Joe has unloaded an awful bad bunch of junk
on the Republican party.
-y
Reduced to 2.75 old John Barleycorn will
probably become so lady-like that some of his
former friends will insist on calling him Jane.
-y
A few men keep their property in their
wife's name, and a great many men keep their
religion in their wife’s name.

The man with the peanut mind is not half
as valuable as the peanut.
PRETENDERS
ERNEST POWELL
Pretension is a kind of velvet cloak
I wear to hide my real self from view,
And yet where’er I meet with other folk
1 always find they wear this garment, too.
Pretension is a kind of golden veil
Behind whose mesh I seek to hide my face,
And yet where’er 1 go I never fail
To see that others w >ar it too with grace.
Pretension is a thing I say I hate
In both myself and in my dearest friend,
And yet when’er I slyly watch and wait
1 find in some regard we all pretend.
GOOD PASTURE
I have a good pasture of
more than 100 acres, with
abundance of running water,
and am prepared to take care
of large numbers of stock.
Man will visit pasture and salt
stock twice each week.
