The Newark Journal
PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY
O. F. Craig. Editor
Entered at the post office at Newark,
Arkansas, as second class mail matter
Next Tuesday the Bull Moose
will shed his horns.
With Oldfield, Brundidge, Don
aghey, Clarke and Robinson all
anxious for a seat in the senate, it
cannot be said that there is a short
age in Arkansas' crop of country
savers. _
That our rural schools are not
altogether failures in teaching ef
ficiency is evident from the fact
that some of the most successful
men and women in business re
ceived their training very largely
in the country schools.—Farm and
Ranch. _
When you are inclined to kick
about the general condition of
• things it is a good rule to examine
yourself and see if you have done
your part toward making condi
tions better. It is a good thing
for every man to have a little
heart-to-heart talk with himself
occasionally and find out if he is in
every respect living up to the
standard he would set for his
neighbor. ________
No industry is so vital to the
well-being of a nation as agricul
ture, and nothing is so vital to
agriculture as the soil. From its
treasury it has been estimated
that we drew during the year 1911
more than $8,2%,000,000, and its
possibilities are as yet only partial
ly realized. There are still in
this country millions of acres
which have never felt the plow,
while those which are now under
cultivation can, by the application
of scientific principles, be made to
produce many times the present
value of their products. How to
use and not abuse this great re
source is the most important prob
lem which faces the farmer of to
day—one worthy of the best ef
forts of our most profound and
learned scientists; for upon its
solution depends the future pros
perity of the nation.
HORSES AND MULES FOR SALE
I have at Oil Trough two com
ing-two-years-old draft stock colts
and one pair of work mules for
sale. The work team is gentle;
will work single or double, and
broke to ride. W. D. Gray.

because the bowels remain healthy and regular thus there
is no return to constipated conditions.
