Take More Pride
In Your Town
Town pride is a pride that
should be cultivated by every
citizen of Newark.
It is the duty of every man
who lives in Newark to do his
dead level best for everything
that concerns the welfare of
Newark, because this town is
his home. It is my town and
your town—and it is going to
be just what we make it—you
and me.
To do this is not merely a
privilege, it is a sacred duty.
Whatever helps to build up
a business, or institution, or en
terprise of any kind in this
town helps to improve the con
ditions of all dwellers therein.
All the units of a composite
population should work togeth
er, pull together, build togeth
er and plan together for the
increased prosperity and hap
piness for their community.
We should gather the lessons
taught by other towns and
cities that have felt the inspira
tion of city pride, and then ap
ply these lessons to our own
community.
How about the Book Trust
lobby that was so active at the
state capitol while the Emory
bill was pending in the leg
islature? It is probable that
several crooked deals in con
nection with the bill would be
uncovered if all the facts were
brought out. If there is to be
a real graft investigation it
should cover more things than
trading-stamps and Sunday
baseball.
A thought for today—the
high cost of living does not
worry the farmer who last year
raised his own meat and lard,
his own bread and feed for his
stock, and got 20 cents for his
surplus cotton.
A few pigs, a few calves, a
few lambs and a few colts with
grazing and grain will in a few
years make the farmer inde
pendent of cotton and the cred
it system.Most enterprisers had
a small beginning. You need
not be ashamed to start with
little. Get a few animals and
make a start.
The bill providing for the
construction of the Batesville
-Little Rock Highway has pass
ed both houses of the legisla
ture and will probably be sign
ed by Gov. Brough this week.
This fs a splendid piece of leg
islation and will be a big boost
for this section of Arkansas.
Another “leak” has been
discovered, which will probab
ly require more expert testi
mony to locate. Germany has
asked Count Bernstorff to ex
plain how the German note to
Mexico got into the newspap
ers.
The people of Arkansas are
with President Wilson in the
position he has taken in ref
erence to the German situation,
and it is unfortunate for Ark
ansas and for Senator Kirby
that he saw fit to oppose Wil
! son’s policy.
Intentions, no matter how
good and how sincere they may
be are worth but little unless
carried into action. It is what
we do, and not what we in
tend doing that counts.
Those who believe in “luck”
should take note of the fact
that good luck and bad habits
are hardly ever found doing
business at the same stand.
The real worth of a man is
not measured by the wealth he
accumulates but by the service
he renders his community.
The world owes every man
a living, but on a goods box at
the street corner is a mighty
poor place to collect it.
What Newark needs is a lit
tle less criticism and a little
more optimism.

strengthens the internal organs
that have been weakened by
these pests. Pale, sickly chil

THE MAN WHO BURNS DOLLARS
We all know him, the man
who burns dollars. At this sea
I son the haze of blue smoke
j from burning- stalks, grass and
other rubbish overhangs his
farm, advertising his destruc
tiveness to the world.
He revels in the use of fire.
Corn stalks are cut and labor
iously piled by hand and the
torch applied; grass, straw,
and weeds are raked into long
windrows and burned. In fact,
he burns about everything in
the field except the cotton
stalks, and the only reason
these are not burned is because
years of -burning vegetable
matter have so impoverished
the soil that it is incapable of
growing anything but “bumble
bee” cotton,the stalks of which
are too tiny to rake or pick up.
Let’s see what he’s losing—ac
tually throwing away.
From analyses at hand, it
appears that corn stalks and
the accompanying fodder con
tain about one per cent of nitro
gen, or twenty pounds per ton.
worth at present prices about
$5. Weeds, grass and similar
materials probably run equally
high in nitrogen content. Thus
the man who burns a ton of
corn stalks, grass or weeds is
deliberately destroying $5
worth of plant food,since fire
drives off into the air practi
cally all the nitrogen contain
ed. We believe t'he humus val
ue of such materials is as high
as their direct fertilizing value
and if this be so, their burning
means a total loss of $10 for
each ton destroyed.
In other words, the man with
a twenty-acre field of com
stalks, assuming 1000 pounds
of stalks per acre, is losing a
round $100 when he burns
these instead of plowing them
under. At the same time he is
probably buying fertilizers at
high prices in the effort to
keep his humus-hungry fields
up to profitable yields.
It is not enough to say that
stalks and grass are in the way
of cultivation, for if they are
cut to pieces and plowed under
in time they will very soon be
thoroughly rotted and incorpor
ated with the soil; nor is it
enough to say that we have no
implements for cutting the
stalks to pieces, for if we have
no disk harrowr or stalk cutter,
it will pay many times over to
chop up the stalks with a hoe.
rather than sacrifice theirplant
food and humus value by burn
ing.
This is a time for soil con
Iservation and soil building, a
| time for saving and utilizing
every possible pound of plant
food. The man who fails to do
these things, w'ho burns plant
foods instead of saving them,
will sooner or later find him
self up against poverty on a
worn-out farm.
He w’ill have burned dollars
| too long.—Progressive Farmer.

Sallowness
is a yellow discoloration of the skin caused by bilious
impurities in the blood. The trouble starts in the
liver, which is torpid, and a torpid liver brings on
diseases which may put you on your back for a sick
spell if not corrected. The sensible course for sallow
people is to get the liver back to its work as quickly
as possible. The right remedy for that purpose is
HERBINE
A Cleansing, Strengthening Medicine
for a Torpid Liver
Herbine is composed of fine medicinal herbs which
are known for their beneficial effect on the Liver,
Stomach and Bowels. They are more powerful and
searching than an ordinary laxative syrup, and more
lasting in their effect. It puts life into a torpid liver,
strengthens the stomach, helps digestion, sweetens
the breath, clears the complexion of sallowness, and
restores the clear ruddy hue of health. Try it for
sallowness or any disorder in the stomach or bowels.
It does the work.
