Some people seem to think The
journal advocates a high school
tax, road tax and other things
that lead TO good public improve
ments, just for pure cussedness.
They don't seem to have brains
enough to know that we have to
pay taxes, the same as other peo-
pie, and have to bear our proper
tionate expense of these things,
just as any other taxpayer. 1t
has never occurred to them that
the editor stands for progress be-
cause it is the best policy for the
community.

NEKARk'S NEGLECTED
OPPORTUNITIES

Read what George Hawkins
says about the canning industry
as he has seen it in portions of
Missouri. The Journal has ham,
mered on this subject here for
years in an effort to get our peo-
pie to wake up to the importance
of the vast opportunities they are
neglecting. a little united effort
at progress along right lines would
make this the wealthiest commu-
nifty in North Arkansas, but we
seem to be a set of Rip Van
Wrinkles, and never wake up only
when we see dollar headed right
straight for our pocket-book. Then
we pull it in and lie down on it so
closely that we smother the eagle,
until another one rolls straight at
US, never making any effort to
reach out for or induce the dollars
to come our way.
1t is only necessary for a man
to get out into the world and see
what other people are doing in
less favored communities in order
to convince him that our people dc
not appreciate the opportunities
that surround US.
We could just as easily have 8
canning factory here as they have
them at any other place.
Suppose we had canning fac.
tory here that paid out $40, 900 OF
$50, 900 to the farmers for toma
toes every summer. Then sup.
pose we shipped 500, 600 or 1925,
900 worth of Strawberries anc
$25, 900 or $4,000 worth of pota
toes every spring.
Don't you know that if we hac
100000 turned loose here every
spring and summer for berries,
potatoes and tomatoes, we'd have
the best town and community or
earth, and that everybody would
be happy and prosperousl
The Fruit and Truck Growers
Association is making a commend.
able start along this line and The
Journal has hopes that this organ
ization will be the means of get.
ting the people aroused to the
point where they can see the great
opportunities we are wasting. II
is our hope that this organization
may live and grow and prosper
until it shall become a powerful
factor for good and for the adj
yancement of our community, and
that it may stand as an enduring
tribute to the good judgment and
progressive spirit of those who
conceived and launched it.

Epilepsy,
Fits

My son was cured of a very
bad case of epilepsy with DR..
Miles Ncrvine.'
MRS. D. BAKER, Cleveland, O.
MY little daughter who was
afflicted with St. Nitus' Dance
is now entirely well after taking
DR.. Miles Nervine only four
months"
MRS. c. G. BENNETT,
Alma, Mich.
Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus'
Dance and Spasms, are all nerv-
Gus diseases. They have been
cured in so many instances with
DR.. Miles Nervine that it is
reasonable to conclude that it is
almost sure to cure you. With
nervous diseases of a severe
type, persistent use has almost
invariably resulted in a complete
cure or lasting benefits, worth
many times the cost of the REM
edy. The best evidence you can
get of its merits is to write to
those who have used it. Get a
bottle from your druggist. Take
it all according to directions, and
if it does not benefit he will re-
turn your money.

BASKET BALL.
Akron 20; Fix Point 10

The Elk Point Delta Phi Delta bas
ket bali team played their first game
OF the season with the Akron High
School team at Akron, last Friday
night, Feb. 5. The final score was 26
to 10 in favor OF Akron. This score,
considering the superior heigh', !,
weight and skill of the Akron men al
the lack OF practice of Elk Point, was
rs good as could be expected.
Elk Point started the first half well,
making a basket in the frs two min
u,es of play. This woke Akron up
and she soon dropped the idea that
she had pudding" and played for
all she was worth. Score, at the end
OF the first half, II to in favor OF
Akron,
The second half, especially the first
part, was ali for Akron, but in the
last half Elk Point crowded Akron
hard. The play became fast and furi-
Gus, and Elk Point team work was
greatly improved. Had there been
ten minutes more play, Elk Point
would have undoubtedly won.
Kelly's basket throwing was one o
the best features OF the game, esrecial
ly his throwing of Of fouls. Ell
Point far excelled Akron in this res
pect. Akron will play return gam
here in week or two, wnen our boy
HI pc TO be in sufficient practice t
give them hard rub.

Sweet Potatoes as Money Crop.
(Pender ChrOnicle.)

Mr.. H. I. Bowen has just returned
from Currituck county. which Diay be
styled the sweet potato county. They
shipped during the month of July and
up to 10th Of August about 10000
barrels of potatoes consisting of four
per barrel, or $4,000 900 in clear cash
to the Currituck
These farmers plant. no corn be-
cause they can average $50 bushels
Of potatoes per acre and these viii
bring them 500 clear, whereas corn
would clear them not more than $25.
The slips are bedded about the first
of March in hot beds and the draws
are transplanted as o as they think
the frost will not kill them. They
use commercial fertilizer at the rate
Of about one ton to the acre. At
digging time these are barred off and
his beds the vines in the center of
row which then SprOut and produce a
second crop used for fattening all the
hogs ~obtainable, there being more and
finer hogs in Currituck chan III any
county in the State.
Thus the farmers of Currituck
make two of sweet potatoes the
same year, one with only a little work,
the other with none at all.
There is every reason to believe that
these same potatoes could be grown
on all the up lands of Pender which
is made up of sandy or grayely soil.
Any one wishing to enquire further
into this splendid money crop in re-
gard to seed, mode Of cultivation, etc,
would do we'll to consult Mr.. Bowen.
He is going to put in a crop for the
coming season.
One of the beauties of this crop
is if you can't get anything up North
you can hold them over and sell in
the fall on the same markets., Or use
them yourself as a feed. They have
always paid in Currituck and should
pay we'll in Pender.

RAIL FENCE PHILOSOPHY.

It always makes IS feel a bit hard
toward the man who takes advantage
of the opportunities we failed to hear
when the knock came to our door.
Many a farmers wife does more
work before breakfast than her nus
band does all day and never seems TO
notice it.
Some farmers always expect to find
a bountiful table, bat neglect to sup
ply the foundation for it and then
blame their wives for the lack Of good
things.
Keeping the field clear of weeds Is
not all there is to clean farming. This
means clean methods in everything
clean hearts, clean hands and clean
treatment when dealing with our fam
lilies and friends.
The American hog just drips money
as he walks these days.
Last year was a great year for
farming, but this year will be bet
ter.
Use salt of life is work" according
to some wise men. But there are some
people who do not like too much salt.
