VHE GAZETTE’S
VENDER SPOT
An editorial squib in The Jour
nal last week in regard to carrying
whiskey advertising touched the
Arkansas Gazette in a very ten
der spot, and the Gazette says “if
The Journal is as decent as it
should be it will make a correction
of this bald misstatement.’’
The Journal has made no bald
misstatement, and is entirely too
decent to retract anything we
said.
Hardly an issue of the Gazette
goes out that does not carry whis
key advertising, and the Sunday
edition usually carries two to six
pages of liquor ads. Probably 75
per cent of the Gazette’s readers
are temperance people, and yet
this self-styled “leading newspa
per” of the state flaunts page af
ter page of glaring liquor ads into
their faces on Sunday morning.
If the Gazette really desires tc
be “the state’s leading newspaper,’
why does it not do a little con
structive leading along moral
lines?
The Gazette may have a legal
right to publish whiskey advertis
ing, which we seriously doubt,but
no real newspaper has a moral
right to aid and abet in the distri
4 Copy right, by McClure Syndicate.)
bution of a thing the consumption
of which degrades humanity and
lowers public morals. When it
does so, it is in a measure respon
sible for the injury to society and
to the State that may result from
the increased use of intoxicants
resulting from the publicity given
through its columns. To a certain
extent the Gazette is guilty of
lowering the type of Arkansas
citizenship, and this merely for
the sake of a few paltry dollars.
This is an extremely tender
spot on the "Old Lady,” and its
no wonder she squirmed when we
touched it.
Cattle prices reached a new
high record Monday when 10 cents
a pound was paid for choice beef
cattle at the stockyards in Chicago.
Hogs went to 9 cents, the highest
price in some time. The wise far
mer who wants to make money
will turn a good portion of his
time and attention to stock rais
in nr
At a recent convention attended
by only men and boys, one of the
speakers expressed the following
wish: “May all of you boys be
come as good men as these men
desire you to think that they are.”
These few words contain a good
deal for both men and boys to
i think about.
In polite society it is considered
rather vulgar to perspire, but dur
ing these July days it is sweat or
j bust, so what are you going to do
about it? _
Its awfully hot and dry, but
1 there’s a better day coming bye
and bye. _
NO TRESPASSING
I have posted my farm north
of Newark known as the old Mair
ness place. Hunting, cutting tim
ber or trespassing in any manner
is forbidden, and any violation
will be prosecuted.
Mrs. Mary Magness.
Making a Good
Crop
Is a very important matter with the farmer.
You cannot make a good crop without good
tools to work with, so it is VERY IMPORTANT
that you equip yourself with plenty of GOOD
TOOLS if you expect to farm successfully. No
man ever made a success on the farm who did
not equip himself with the necessary tools and
implements for doing good work.
<1 I have a complete line of the famous Moline
implements of all kinds, and it will pay you to
investigate the merits and the prices of these
implements. They are the latest improved,
are honestly built and are sold very reasonable.
^ Axes, Saws, Hatchets, Hammers, Bolts,
Honkey-wrenches, Nails, Staples, Wire Fenc
ing, and all kinds of hardware.

The attention of school direc

accurate and complete as possible.
1 shall obtain the financial report
for each district from the treas
urer’s books. Please furnish all the
other information asked for.
I wish to thank the directors

perintendent complete and accur
ate and to make it on time.
Sidney Pickens,
County Examiner.
