SENDING THE BOY OFE TO
SCHOOL
Are you hesitating, wavering,
undecided about sending John or
Mary to high school orcollege this
fall? Hesitate no longer. The
course in college or in the high
school may double your son’s or
your daughter’s earning capacity
and, better still, give him or her a
breadth of vision and a nobleness
of purpose which could never have
come without it.
There might be such a thing as
a people making a too lavish ex
penditure for school training; but
we in the South have never yet
been guilty of that offense. We
may have spent unwisely, but this
is a very different matter. There
are, no doubt, cases where father
and mother have placed too heavy
burdens on themselves to send the
children to college; but there is, in
the unwisest of such instances, a
worthy, even if misguided, spirit
of heroism; and for every such case
there are a hundred cases where
the parents have failed to do
enough, either from false notions
of economy or because their own
ignorance was so dense that they
could not even comprehend the ad
vantages of education for others
most piteous tragedy of all, where
darkness thus perpetuates itself
and never even knows the light!
We believe in training every1
child to help himself, in trying to |
inspire him with the desire for an
education and then in letting him
help pay for it. We would not for
one minute advise any father to
wear himself out to send his boys
to college or high school and give
them a good time; but wherever
the young man or the young
woman has a real desire
for knowledge and makes an
earnest effort to attain it, the par
ents can well afford to make sacri
fices, if neccesary, to gratify that
desire and realize that effort.
Man's ability is measured by
what he has done, not by what he
thinks he could do if he had a
chance.
Few of us ever have all we
want. And who doubts that it is
better for us that ’tis so?
No Rest
Day or Night
“I would lay awake for hours
without any apparent cause, or
dream terrible dreams which
would bring on extreme spells i
of nervousness. After taking
Dr. Miles’ Nervine and Tonic
for awhile I could sleep well,
and the nervous spells have left
me.” MISS ALMA HUG,
R. R, No. 4, Canal Dover, Ohio.
Without sleep the nervous
system soon becomes a wreck,
and the healthful activity of all
the organs obstructed. Restful,
body-building sleep accompanies
the use of Dr. Miles’ Nervine
because it soothes the irritable
nerves, and restores nervous
energy. When taken a few days
according to directions, the most
restless sufferer will find sleep
natural and healthful. Get a
bottle from your druggist. Take
it all according to directions, and
if it does not benefit he will re
turn your money.

ALL COTTON IS WORTH
The Arkansas Farmers Union
has gone on record in favor of in
creasing the road tax. The farm
ers are at last learning that bad
roads cost more than good ones.
Now let the farmers start a road
building campaign and demand the
expenditure of the road funds in
the building permanent roads. Too
much money is squandered in
patch work on the roads. If each
road district should build only one
or two miles of permanent road
each year, the state would soon :
have a lot of good roads, but if j
the patch work system is kept up ,
the roads will be no better twenty
five years hence than they are now.
Much is being said about the
vast undeveloped resources of
Arkansas; and the resources are
unquestionably here. They will
be developed, too. The only ques
tion is by whom is it to be done?
If our young men are given prac
tical training in the arts and
sciences, they will do the work and
reap the profits. If they are per
mitted to grow up ignorant and
untrained, men from other states
will take charge of the work and
reap the profits, and our children
will be mere “hewers of wood and
drawers of water” for alien capi
tal and alien knowledge.
There’s plenty of room in Inde
pendence county for several thou
sand more good farmers, and the
county needs them badly. The
kind of farmers we have reference
to are those who know how to do
things a little better than the aver
age—the man who can make two
blades of grass, two earns of corn,
two bushels of wheat grow where
only one grew before.
Good schools, good roads and
good farming will make the peo
ple of any community prosperous
and happy. Can you picture what
the result would be in five years
from now if every man in lnde
pendence county should adopt that
slogan and bend his every energy
to that end?
There is no country in the world
more favorably situated for the
firmer than the country around
Newark, and if we are not pros
perous it is largely our own fault.
With 14 cent cotton, there’ll be
money in the country, even if the
crop is shot t.

FINE SPECIMENS OF CORN
J. M. Finch Shows Finest Ears
of Corn of the Season
J. M. Finch, who lives just west
of town, presented The Journal
with two ears of the best corn we
have seen this season. The ears
measure eleven inches in length
each. One is 7f inches in circum
ference and the other inches in
circumference and both are w’ell
tilled out at each end and the grains
are all well formed and fully mat
ured.
The corn was grown by Mr.
Fincn on his place near town, on
what is commonly called old hill
land. The corn was planted about
the last of March, and to look at
this corn one would not suspect
that there had been a drouth this
year.
If anybody in Independence
county can show better corn than
this The Journal would be glad to
hear from them.
REID WILL NOT RUN
Congressman C. C. Keid of Mor
rilton has announced that he will
not be a candidate for governor
against. Governor Donaghey in the
next Democratic primary.
Mr. Reid’s announcement re
garding his intentions relative to
becoming a candidate for governor
has been awaited with much inter
est in political circles.
He has had the matter under
advisement for some time, but not
until Monday did he finally make
up his mind on the subject. He
stated that his private interests
were such that he could not afford
to enter the race.

tion which passed the Alabama
legislature with only two votes
against it in the lower house, and

MARRIAGE W AS A FAILURE
This is why marriage was a fail
ure: He did all the courting before
marriage. He never talked his af
fairs over with his wife. He
thought of his wife as only a cheap
housekeeper. He never dreamed
that a wife deserved praise or com
pliments. He married an ideal and
was disappointed to find it had
flaws. He paid no attention to his
personal appearance after mar
riage. He treated his wife as he
would not have dared to treat
another woman.
