THE NEWARK JOURNAL

0. F. CRAI6, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER
Entered at the post office at Newark,
Ark., as second class mail.
It is reported that farmers
around Cotter are preparing to
plant 100 acres in strawberries
the coming spring. This is a
matter we would like to see the
farmers around Newark become
interested in.
J. 0. Wasson who recently as
sumed control of the Bald Knob
Eagle has made some decided im
provements in that paper. Was
son is a good newspaper man
and will give the people of Bald
Knob a good live paper if they
give him the proper support.
It seems to be an assured fact
that Newark will have a canning
factory. Every citizen of the
community should be interested
in the success of such an enter
prise and should use their best
efforts to help make it a success.
If properly managed, it can be
made an important factor in the
prosperity of this community.
If Newark grows and prospers
every citizen in this community
will share in the prosperity. If
the town stands still or goes
backwards, every individual will
be affected to some extent. This
cannot oe aemea. men wny
shouldn’t every citizen of New
ark be interested in the advance
ment and upbuilding' of the town
and community?
Senator Edmondson has been
making a bitter and unwarranted
fight on the publicity law adopt
ed by the people at the last elec
tion. He wants all public re
ports that are published in the
newspapers under this law to be
labeled in large type “This pub
lication cost the taxpayers $—”
That is not a bad idea at all, so
why not go a little further and
compell all members of the legis
lature to wear a large badge con
taining the words: “Legislator—
I cost the taxpayers $6 a day.”
In fact the idea might be carried
further and all public officers
compelled to wear a similar
badge properly designating them,
and telling what they cost the
taxpayers per day. Senator Ed
mondson’s idea is all right if
made general in its application.
In fact it is about the only idea
he has had since he has been in
the legislature that is worth as
much as one day’s salary.
George Bodenhamer of Moun
l tain Home recently offered the
editor of the Baxter County Bul
letin a two hundred pound hog to
get him a wife. The editor of
the Bulletin advertised in his
paper fora wife for Mr. Boden
hamer, and the gentleman has
received letters from more than
a hundred ladies who say they
are anxious to marry. Boden
hamer says he is thoroughly con
vinced that it pays to advertise
and the editor is getting ready
to feast on pork.
What if only those who were
guiltless would cast the first
stone? Why, there would be but
few rocks thrown, of course.
Another thing: No skunk can get
rid of its stink by always being
loud in the declaration that some
other animal smells badly. And
another thing: Most people who
want to view something quite a
good deal lower than the angels
need not go out on a search for
any of their neighbors and ac
quaintances. They could save
time and steps by taking a good
look at themselves.—Sharp Coun
ty Record.
COST OF FARM LABOR
Thirty-three per cent, or 70,638
of the farmers of Arkansas, em
ploy hired held, and their annual
expenditure for labor is approxi
mately $7,655,000, according to a
report just issued by the census
bureau at Washington. Ten years
ago the annual expenditure for la
bor by the farmers of this state
amounted to $3,171,000. The in
crease in ten years has been 141
per cent. Eighty-two per cent of
the amount paid for labor by the
Arkansas farmers is cash.

COTTON RFPORT

county up to January 16, as com
pared with 12,660 bales to the
same date last year. Jackson

MANY RUINED
LIVES
Hundreds can point to the use
of calomel as the cause of physi
cal decay. Its strenuous effects
upon liver, kidneys and even the
heart are known to every prac
ticing physician.
Medical science has found a
vegetable compound that elimi
nates the poisons from the liver
and accumulations from the bow
els in a safer and saner way than
does calomel, and leaves no ill
after-effects.
This remedy is in the form of
Grigsby's Liv-er-lax and is a prov
en success. It is for sale in 50c and
$1.00 bottles by Newark Drug Co.
who guarantees to refund pur
chase price if you want it. It is al
ways protected by the likeness of
