The Local Paper

"A local newspaper is absolutely
necessary to any community. 1t is
the home paper that keeps the people
OF the community in touch with
each other by giving them all the
news OF their own neighborhood and
county. For that alone they are of
value and worth far more than the
small subscription price. They
keep the local pride and progressive
spirit aroused and in various wavs
are worth far more to a community
than a community ever spends on
them. The daily paper, with its
large news service and quicker
faculties, may, in some instances
overshadow the weekly, but the
weekly home paper fills place in
the hearts of the people that a daily
cannot fill. 1t comes to your home
as an old and tried friend, while the
daily enters as stranger.

ARKANSAN SAYS
REBELS WILL WIN
FORMER TExARKANA POLICEMAN
WAS A MEMBER OF MEXICAN
lNSuRREcTos.
Says he Intends to Return to Mexico
WItn'n Short Time and Again
Fight the Government.

Texarkana-Alf Jordan, for several
years member of the Texarkana po-
lice force and at one time employed
as a Texas ranger, has arrived home
from Mexico, where he has been for
several months.
MT jordan was employed by a min
ing company in Chihuahua. Some
months ago the mining plant closed
down, and he, with about so other
miners joined the insurrectos and
went on the war path as a means of
diversion and livelihood. He relates
some thrilling experiences which he
and MS band experienced with gov
ernment troops, including a number
of narrow escapes from death. He
is stlll full of enthusiasm, however,
and says he expects to return short
ly TO Mexico and rejoin his command.
Mr.. Jordan says that a real revolu-
tion is on in Mexico, and it is his
prediction that Diaz will ultimately
be beaten and driven from power.

following counties in the Fifth;
Woodruff, Gross, Poinsett, Critten-
den, St. Francis, Lee and Phillips.
Chancellor Ell Robertson will

Boys Are in the Saddle

A farmer boy who can double the
yield of corn on an acre of ground
is worth more to the country than a
horse lot full of goods box politicians
who sit around and polish goods
boxes with the seat Of their pants
and bother other people telling how
the country ought to be saved,
while their wives have to pick up
chunks for fire wood. -Brinkley
Citizen.
The boys are certainly in the lime
light these days and, under the
direction of the farm demonstrators,
are showing their dads the real
science of farming. When a strip
ling of lad can take one acre Of
land and produce as much corn as
his father gets from three acres, it's
time for the old man to open his
eyes. As for the peanut politicians,
they have about served their day.
They are tolerated merely as the
last lingering fragment of corn
bread aristocracy that will soon pass
away.

Light of the Community

That the churches in any commun-
ity exercise most potent influence
for good, is conceded by all except
the most rabbi orbatant infdeI
whose egotism and self-conceIt blind
his mind to the inestimable value of
Christianity. But to what extent
are the churches valuable in this
community? The Galilean teacher
said of His disciples: aye are the
light of the world" eye are the
salt of the earth" Hence, if
all His disciples are the light Of
the world and the salt of the
earth, the logical as well as the
scriptural conclusion is that they
are the light Of the community in
which they live. These decIara-
tions, however, do not preclude the
possibility Of the light going out
being hid under bushel-or the
salt losing its sadness. But certain
ly no reasonable or falr-minded
persons would accuse the churches
of being wholly composed of united
bands Of hypocrites. For it matters
not to what extent sin, in its many
forms, may pervade the ranks OF
any church, you will find, within
its membership, consecrated men
and women. And it should be
borne in mind that 1t only requires
a few of the abovemention ed class
to become the light of the commu-
nifty.
