The Newark Journal
PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY
o. F. Craio. Editor
Entered at the post office at Newark,
Arkansas, as second class mail matter
The farmer who rattles to town
in an empty wagon and goes back
with it loaded with bacon, flour,
corn and canned goods is a scien
tific grower of farm mortgages.
Human nature is much the same
the world over. “If the farmer is
diligent the soil will not be lazy,”
is a proverb that might have come
from Old Virginia, but it didn’t.
It is a Chinese proverb and is older
than the American government.
Don’t get mad and “raise sand”
because somebody criticises some
thing you have done. It is very
often true that our critics are our
best friends, and while criticism is
often unpleasant, it sometimes
helps us to see ourselves as we
really are._
It is a little unusual to boast of
the high rate taxation, but Ark
ansas has one high tax rate that
she can point to with pride, and
that is the school tax. According
to population, Arkansas has the
highest school tax of any state in
the union.
It is likely that the train that
carries the Arkansas delegates to
the National Democratic Conven
tion at Baltimore will also be in
the nature of a boosting excursion.
A band will probably be taken on
the train and arrangements will
be made to advertise Arkansas
along the line.
That citizen is the best who
does his best; who has the best
heart, the best character, the larg
est charity and sympathy, and
who withholds from none of his
fellow men the respect, privileges
and protection which he claims for
himself. This is the citizenship to
which we must educate ourselves;
this is the citizenship which is the
hope of our country.
Ex-President Theodore Roose
velt arrived upon the scene of bat
tle in Chicago Saturday. He was
beseiged for a speech, and address
ed a crowd of several thousand
from a hotel balcony. He spoke
for just six minutes and in the
course of his remarks he used the
words “thievery, thieves and
theft” just seventeen times. Quite
a dignified speech to come froman
ex-President of the greatest gov
ernment on earth.
At the recent Democratic State
Convention in Little Rock, Editor
Claude L.Coger of the Sharp Coun
ty Record was elected as one of
the delegates from this district to
the Democratic National Conven
tion at Baltimore, and will there
by very probably have the honor
of helping to nominate the next
President of the United States.
Among the newspaper fraternity,
there is not a man in the district
whom we would rather see have
this honor than Claude Coger. The
Journal admires Coger and his
paper, both for their ability and
character, and while The Journal
and the Record frequently hand
each other a nice little brown i
package, each have been big
enough and broad enough to take
it all good naturedly, and there is j
not a newspaper man in the state
| for whom we have a higher regard
than we have for Claude Coger.
The way to get good out of land
is to improve it. The way to get
good out of a town is to develop,
improve and build it up. It is a
poor farm that is all pasture. It
ought to be worked. He is a poor
farmer who is content to take j
merely what Nature sends. He is |
a poor citizen who is willing to let
his town shift for itself, taking,
only such benefits as come without
special labor or effort upon his
part. The man who is content to
harvest merely what comes up
will never enjoy very many of the
modern conveniences of life.

ARE /MINISTERS
OF* DESTRUCTION
Flies and ,'losquitos are Tlenace
to health and Should be
Kept Out of Houses
The Uuited States Census Bu
reau records the deaths in one
year of 44,521 children under two
years of age from “summer com
plaint.” Dr. Irving Fisher esti
mates that 60 per cent of these1
deaths were due to the agency of
the familiar honsefly. In thousands
of country homes chills and fevers
are looked upon as necessary evils j
of the summer season. Sometimes
three or four members of the
family are down together, the
grass taking the crops, drug bills
piling up and the doctor making
daily visits. This is the work of the
ordinary malarial mosquito which
is tendered throughout the spring
and summer the wide open hospi
tality of thousands of farm
homes.
The writer was raised on the |
farm. He knows that the average
farm family has but a very imper- j
feet understanding of the awful
tribute these insect guests are lay-1
ing on it year after year. They |
are usually regarded as mere an- j
noyances. The head of the family i
does not feel that he can afford j
the expense of protecting the J
household against a little trivial j
worry. It is a pity he cannot see i
his unbidden guests as the minis-1
ters of destruction, with a shroud
and a death’s head as the insignia
of their office in the world.
Mosquitos and flies do not stop
at bringing about malarial dis- j
orders and summer complaints of j
children. The mosquito is the sole !
agent for the communication of j
yellow fever from person to per
j son. The housefly is one of the
| most potent of all factors in dis
tributing typhoid fever and tuber
culosis.
In drug bills, doctors bills, loss
of time and impaired efficiency of
labor, flies and mosquitos prob
ably cost the average family not
less than $150 a year. This tre
mendous burden is one of the chief
causes of poverty in the rural
South today.
Probably 75 per cent of this suf
fering and loss of time and money
is easily preventable. The reme
dy consists in keeping out the flies
and mosquitos. This can be done
by screening the doors and win
dows. No man need plead pover
ty as an excuse for neglecting this
precaution. The only expense he
need incur is the cost of a few feet
of 1x5 dressed lumber for door
frames, a few yards of screening
to cover the door and window
frames and the necessary hinges.
He can do the work himself, and
the material for the average farm
house will not cost more than $2
or $3 and one man can do all the
work in a day. That day’s work
will save many a dollar, and may
save lives. L. A. Markham.

edy that has cured me per

it in the house for an attack of
cold, which it invariably cures in
a very Short time.”
