EDUCATIONAL HINTS
A Few Timely Suggestions by Pat
 ron of the Newark Public School
To The Newark Journal:

To The Newark Journal:
 If the best work is expected, and it is, the best equipments should be pro- vided. A school room needs many things besides good, comfortable desks, blackboards. heaters and other furniture.
 A globe in the room where the sec ond and third grades are taught is almost indispensable. It aids the teacher in symplyting the lesson and helps the young student to grasp and appropriate the same. Then, it has been wisely said by an ancient sage that Pages are not progess, but what is on the page.' This being true. and it is, long lessons are not best. A half page well learned, is better than a whole page half learned Little minds are not capacitated to assimulate only so much; and this, we'll understood by a teacher, the results will be more satisfactory and abiding.
 A teacher generally needs and de- serves more sympathy than they usual ly get. Criticism is spontaneous, and there is always plenty of it. The di- rectors need a good and kind word once in while. With united effort, nothing is impossible in school work and there is nothing that can be pro- vided for rapid progress to be neglect ed.
 Our school opens grandly, and bids fair to be the high water session in the history of the school. Visit the school once in while. Every child and every teacher, will greet you with a smile of welcome, and feel glad to have you. Reader, do you remember when child, how it made your little heart leap for joy when papa or man. ma came into the school room? Well, it will make the hearts of your chil- dren bound, and their faces light up with smiles that only child can give. Try it and see how it works.
 This is not written in any spirit of criticism, but with view to help and promote good cause.
 Do right, said the amiable princi- pal: and that, we'll observed, will bring abundant and glorious results, for which all labor and hope. So mote 1t be. A PATRON.

MARTIN IN TEXAS
Clarksville a Good Town Surrounded
 by Fine Cotton Country

To The Newark Journal:
 After the association had closed at Wilton, I decided to visit Mr. Ed Edwards and his sister in Texas. They are chilren of my mothers oldest brother.
 I drove to Ashdown October 10th, let my horse out with Brother w. L. Smith; took the early train the next day for TeXarkana: spent few hours there, and there boarded the Texas and Pacific for Clarksville, Texas. After run of 61 miles, we arrived about 6 D. m. I made some inquiry for Mr. Edwards, and found that he had been to meet me the night before, and had arranged with the buss man to get me, and take me to his home. l was soon housed in his comfortable home. He was not in when 1 arrived, but soon came. This was the first time we had ever had the delightful pleasure of knowing each other, and it was indeed pleasant meeting. must now tell you something of his lovely family. He has wife, who is very pleasant lady and has three fine looking children. Mr. Edwards family is filled with so much hospitali- ty, that they made me feel at home with them from first sight and I can- not help but regret that I never knew them before.
 Clarksville is a splendid town of about three thousand inha abitants. It is one of the finest cotton markets that 1 have ever seen, the average sale is from twenty-five to thirty thousand bales per annum, though they have fallen short for the last two or three years. The public square is crowded with wagons each day, and from what can see the people are doing large business.
 This country is truly cotton coun- try, and good deal of the long staple variety is grown here. Some very fine hay is raised also. Alfalfa. John son grass, and some prarie hay is raised here.
 l find that most of the people are social, and very pleasant. Cousin Edward does not belong to any church. His wife is devoted Catholic, but we have not had a debate so far.

CITIES AND TOWNS.
How They Are Built Up and What
 Gives Them Permanency.

Towns and cities are built where exist the greatest natural advantages. Growth and importance depends on en- vironments and conditions. Require ments are that there be some manner of employment for their population. Thus the business of the place fixes its standing. It is then evident that the greater are the resources of country and the more enterpriSing it's people, the more important will be it's cities and towns Some locations have fa- vorable conditions for certain lines of manufacture, and single industries support thousands, like the textile in- dustry at Fall River, and the manu- facture of jewelry at Providence, R. I. Others have shipping facilities that cause them to become great conner itself, free and independent of tribu- tary territory, but must depend upon a large scope of country to supply it with the products necessary for the sustenance of Its people, and for the marketing of it's articles of commerce, and it's manufactures.
 Towns and cities decay when their business interests are destroyed. In the west, particularly in the mining sections, can be found hundreds of ex- amples illustrative of this fact The discovery of a mine is sufficient to gather people to compose city. With the exhaustion of its mineral re- sources business is destroyed and the town becomes deserted. In agricul- tural sections exist commercial towns, made necessary by the development of the surrounding country. Such towns are supported by the trade that can be attracted from certain scope of territory, and industries that can be established to employ labor. With development of tributary country, and expansion of industries, and the exer- else of enterprise many of these towns attain the magnitude of cities and be- come important commercial and finan- cial centers. With their growth farms adjacent increase in value. The truth of this Is in evidence in nearly every state of the union. While within the boundaries of the United States proper

HOME ENTERPRISES.
Trusts Cannot We'll Compete with
 the Products of Local Mills.

Never in the past has there been such opportunity for the establish ment of small enterprises in the cities and towns of the United States as Is now presented. There is barely To- cality which does not possess some advantages for certain lines of manu- facture or commerce. There is little prospects for over-production as the population of the country is increas- ing at an enormous rate, and new mar kets are being opened continually in foreign countries for American prod ucts. Imports are decreasing ex- cepting of raw materials, and each year shows an increase of imports. Many lines are supposed to be in the hands of combines, but these so-called trusts can never prevent the success of local enterprises in similar lines if the masses of the people will close ly follow the home trade principle, and as far as possible give preference to local products. The great agri- cultural sections produce the wheat, corn, barley, and other cereals which find their way to large mills in far off cities, are converted into four, starch and innumerable kinds of foods, and In their manufactured state are returned to the sections where the grains were grown and sold at prices that leave large margin of profit. How much more economical would it be to convert cereals into four and other foodstuffs in mills located in the districts where the grains are grown. Would not the farmer receive benefit in increased prices, the say. ing of freight rates, two or more profits that result from marketing, and would there not be a great benefit derived from the keeping at home wages paid to laborers and the reten- tion in general of profits that go else- where?

part of the population, the IT. crchants of the towns would have little excuse for being in business, and the mer- chant is a wonderful convenience to people of his neighborhood. One can not we'll get along without the other. The merchant depends more upon the success of the farmer and the laborer than do either of the latter on the sue cess of the former. Between them there should be greater harmony. In towns that are noted for activity and progress, particularly in agricultural sections, it will be found that it is the united efforts of all classes of workers that win.

TRADES MAGNET.
Virtue in Right Kind of Advertising
 in the Home Papers.
D. M. CARR.

There is no apparent reason why the merchant in the average town should not be able to sell goods, class and quality considered, as low as the large city stores He is under less expense, and if he is enterprising and up-to-date, he can buy his goods at as low figure as the retailers In the large cities. There is laxity observed in the management of business by some merchants in rural towns. They depend too much on trade drifting their way without making the right kind of effort to gain it. merchant in western state who took it in his head to use large advertising space in his town paper, found that within tkee months, by consistently follow ing up plan of using half page in the local paper for the publishing of prices and describing goods, increased his trade more than third. From the position of doing about the fourth amount of business of any store in the town, he rapidly raised to first place. He is on the road to prosper. ity, and has been benefit to the town in general, drawing trade to it that was never enjoyed before. This was done within 30 miles of one of the large western cities, and with the de- partment stores of the city advertis. 1ng in the same paper

OURAMERICANKINGS
FARMERS THE BACKBONE OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY.
FEEDING THE OTHER NATIONS
Greater Need of Study of Economic Principles by the TIlers of the SoiI-Building Up the
 Towns.

American farmers are the wealth producers of the nation. In the United States annually the products of the farms exceed in value all the gold the country has produced in score of years. If the term can be used in a free republic, the farmers are the American kings. The results of their ]abors feeds not alone single nation, but assists in supplying sustenance for large part of the people of nearly all lands of the earth. Iris the prod ucts of the farms that give the means of support to the great railroad sys- tens, that keep the thousands of great steamers plying the oceans, that make possible the thousands of great enter prises. While the farmer is among the most independent classes of the land, too often he fails to reap full reward for the work he has accom- plished. He must fight combine after combine, and pay taxes to support in- stitutions from which he receives no benefit This is because of the con- centration of capital in the hands of a comparatively few in large financial centers. But is not the farmer to blame for this condition to great extent? Does he not make it possible for the concentration of wealth in large cities? He certainly does lend his support to the building up of trusts, and to capital concentration, when he fails to patronize enterprises in his home town, and refuses to help build up it's industries.
 There is a penny wise and pound foolish" attitude on the part of farm CTS in many communities that is de- structive to their own interests. It is seeing profit, quite often purely imaginary, and in striving to gain it lose sight of the truth that they are yielding the sword that will eventual ly inflict a serious wound to them selves. This is the practice of rur- chasing goods at trade centers distant from home. Towns and communities are made wealthy by retaining as great part of the earnings of it's people as possible. The larger the town can be made, the more valuable becomes the farm located near it, be- cause the home market is made bet ter and higher prices are secured for products
 Money earned by the farmers and the business men, if retained at home, generally finds investment in new en- terprises that give employment to la bor, and add to the wealth of the community and assists in lowering tax ation. On the other hand, when the earnings of community are sent away from it, the towns are deadened, and farm values lowered, taxation is made greater and the small imagined gains to those sending away the profits of their labor react against the sender, who assists in concentrating money in large financial centers in the hands of those who pay no local taxes. Generally the monied powers of those distant cities dictate to the farmers what prices shall be received for the products of their farms. and to the laborer the compensation he shall receive for his labor Is not this proposition plain?

Strawberries FruitIng Too Early.

It is generally conceded poor policy to allow strawberry plants set in the spring to bear fruit the following summer. Allowing them to fruit will weaken the plants by pollen eXhaus- tion and seed production and perhaps result in killing them. All newly set strawberry plants should be relieved of their buds and blossoms just as soon as they appear. Pinch or cut them of and 1t pays to do it.
