THE FARMER AND
 THE STATE FAIR

The Journal hopes the farmers If Independence county will send q creditable exhibit of the county's agricultural products to the State Far at Hot Springs this fall. Ii would result in much good in l inging our county fayorably to
 e notice of the general public, J5 many people from outside the
 ate attend these fairs every fall.
 The Journal Is deyoting a good deal of space to boosting the fair, because we think it Is ag0od thing for Arkansas. We get no pay for this work, but it is done cheerfully because we love Arkansas and are interested in her progress, and want to see her grow and prosper, and We believe the State Fair will prove q strong factor for good in the present reatstate-Wide move mentf for a greater and better Ar kansas.
 The Journal hopes our county will be creditably represented at the fair. We have as great var iety of products worthy of eXhibi- tion as any county in the state, and we should take pride in showing them. Our people do not properly the value of the State Fair, but we hope to see them wake up and take more interest in 1t.
 Every farmer in the county who can possibly do so should take his family and attend the fair. If you cannot take the family, go your self anyway, study the exhibits, attend the farmers lectures, rub elbows with the folks from other counties and absorb all the infor- nation you can, and our word for it you will come back home great ly benefited, with a broader view of things, with a better opinion of your state and a determination to do better and greater things than you have done in the past.
 It affords an opportunity for gaining new ideas and general in- formation that the thinking, pro gressive farmer cannot afford to miss, and we hope they will take advantage of 1t in the proper man. Dpr

THE OLDLOG SCHOOL HOUSE

The oldlog school house, so dear to the memory of our fathers, will soon be a thing of the past in Ar kansas It is said that there has not been a log school house built in the state in five years, and the passage of each year witnesses the destruction of one or more of these structures, around which cluster many pleasant memories of earlier days, and bring to mind the many and disadvantages under what our fathers were sehooled.
 There are now only 108 log school houses in Arkansas, and the passage of a few more years will witness their utter destruction.
 The boys and girls of today en- joy many educational advantages never dreamed of by their parents when they were children, and we often think that the children of today do not appreciate their op- portunites along this line.
 In this day of many schools, com petent teachers, modern methods, comfortable buildings and eqip- ment, it seems little less than a crime for any boy or girl to grow up in ignorance.

ARKANSAS TO THE FRONT

ARKANSAS TO THE FRONI
 Don't talk of crop failures. There never has been but one crop fail ure in Independence county, with in the memory of man, and If the conditions which prevailed at that time. with respect to the better knowledge and methods of farm ing, were repeated in this year, there would be no crop failure.
 Old people here say that they have never seen a crop failure in Independence county. Of course there have been a few bad crops, and some indifferent ones. How would that strike the people of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebras- ka and other communities in ey- cry direction from Newark?
 The Almighty has been ncom- parably good to us therefore let this whole community arise and sing:
 Praise God from whom all blessings flow"
 On the hills and in the bottoms of Independence county, corn, cot-| ton, alfalfa and everything else, known to this latitude, grows to. perfection. Knowledge of these facts explains why a farm near Newark IS worth $100 per acre. Many tracts of land near Newark sighted 90 years ago at s per acre, cannot be touched at $40. We know of farm that can be bought now at less than $40 per acre, but in ten years $50 will not touch 1t.
 This is the way a lot of Us fel- lows are losing out. Some are eX- pecting to find something better elsewhere, to their own loss.
 aaTis distance lends enchapmens to
 the view,
 And robes the mountain in its azure
 hue
 4 grassy spot in the shade al- ways looks greener and cooler from a distance than nearby. There is always something better just over the way. This is why a lot of us blockheads are forever gazing in- to the distant future, and our pre- sent surroundings are not good enough. We fail to recognize that God and Good and Fortune are with us right now. We know lots of fools who laugh at Arkansas because ignoramuses from other states have habit of doing so. All we'll informed people are now aware of the fact that in the var iety of its natural resources, Ark ansas is the richest state on the American Continent. And within five years no well informed man will be excusable if he does not know that Independence county IS the best part of Arkansas.
 But there are many people who do not know that Arkansas is now projecting and carrying to completion large drainage systems, costing millions of dollars, which will make Arkansas the most pro ductive state in the union.
 Arkansas is the greatest State in the Union in natural resources but the people have been too back. ward or too modest to toot theil own horn, and the State has thu; permitted other less favored State, to outstrip her in attracting new settlers and commercial and indus trial enterprises.

PROSECUTE 40
ST0REkEEPERS
City Clerk Prepares List fer
Milk Committee.

City Clerk LaRoe Is preparing q
list of about forty local Etorekeep-
ers and dealers who are handling
milk without a license against whom
Commissioner Leo Schwartz, of the
milk and food committee of the
Board of Health, will bring imme-
date prosecution.
In its campaign to insure the
purity OF milk In this city the Board
OF Health recently notified some
seventy to eighty local store dealers
to secure licenses at once, giving
the source of their milk supply. A
number answered the request by
securing the licenses, but others
withheld their applications. A week
ago Tuesday notice was sent to all
dealers who had not secured
licenses to do so by Tuesday OF this
week under penalty OF prosecution.
About ten more licenses were taken
out under this warning, leaving
forty approximately who ignored the
board. 1t is this forty that action
is nov about to be taken against.
Two dollars Is charged at the
present time for milk licenses. Com
missioner schwartz states that this
Is perhaps a little high for store
dealers who handle milk but 1t can
not be helped at this time as 1t Ia
the charge fixed by the ordinance.
Mr.. Schwartz says that by another
year he hopes that the ordinance
will be changed to read SIS for regu-
lar dealers and 81 for storekeepers.
Commissioner Schwartz favors
enforcing all ordinances. One of
the matters which he will urge ac-
ton on Is the ordinance providing
for the reporting Of contagious dis
eases by physicians. A number of
local doctors, he states, practically
ignore this ordinance. They are
provided with blanks, he states. for
reporting these cases to the board
and it would be little trouble FOR
them to send In a report on each
case by mall. Besides they are paid
ten cents for each case reported.

Jahn and Geo. Martin.

Robert John, proprietor of the
Sheet Metal Cornice Works, at 1b2
Jefferson street, Is today suffering
from severe burns about the face and
both hands, as the result of an ex-
pIosion at his place about 5 o'clock

Mr.. John at the time was work
ing at a small forge trying to bend
q piece of gas pipe about four feet
long, when without warning the
heated pipe, which contained consid-
cradle resin, bursted and the gum
substance few into his face The
quick presence of mind OF Mr.. jain
in closing both eyes when the ex-
plosion occurred probably saved him
from losing the sight of both eyes or
having them terribly burned.
George Martin, q painter, residing
in High street. who was in the place
at the time, had part OF his nous
tache burned by the rot resin and
an oyercoat that ne had on was
turned from a black to one of a
brown coat.
Mr.. jain ran to the Office of DR..
Judson G. Cottrefl, at 285 Madison
avenue, and had his injuries at
tended to. He is now at the home OF
a friend nursing his burns and 1t
will be some time before he will be
able to be out again.
The force OF the explosion shook
the building and Miss Anna Kenna.
of Fayetts street, the bookkeeper at
the works, who al In the office at
the time, came out considerably
frightened when she heard the re-
port. Mr.. Martin Is at his home
nursing the injuries he received.

GRIP CAUSES
BIG DROP IN
ATTENDANCE
Supt. ShuIl Says More Pupils
III in January Than
Ever Before.
DECREASE TN PERCENTAGE
--250 ABSENT DAILY

That grip has a tighter hold on
the school children of this city this
winter thar any time during the past
sixteen years Is shown by the reports
OF b principals on file In the Office
of superintendent of Schools s.. e.
Shull, In the high school. Superin-
tendent Shull has been affiliated with
the school system of this city ssor
sixteen years and says that nevefsUe-
FIRE has there been so many chill
dren absent daily, the general COM
plaint being grip. Very few cases
of contagious diseases have been ri
ported, he says.
The usual daily attendance Is
ninety-two per cent. OF the total en-
rollments while during January the
daily attendance only averaged
eighty-seven per cent, a decrease OF
five per cent. Mr.. Shull says 1t has
been a common occurrence during
the month of January for ESQ to 2Tb
pupils to be absent daily on account
Of grip. Although this has not been
the hardestvswinter by any means,
yet the weather conditions have
played havoc with the pupils in the
schools.
Out of the many cases Of grip that
have been reported, Superintendent
Shull says 1t seems queer that only
several school children have been
affected with contagious diseases.
This winter he declares, has been a
banner year so far as contagious dis
eases are concerned.
Grip Is prevalent among this for-
eign classes. az shown by the schools
that have been affected. Schools
Nos. 8 and 4 were the scenes of most
of the cases.
The attendance at ST. Mary's Pa
rochial school was better this year
than 1t has been for the past I'VE
years, said Rev. Peter b. Corr, to q
NEWS reporter this morning. mo
cases OF contagion have been report-
ed and as a whole, considering the

80 Pound Bags.

Sealer of Weights and Measures
Henry oft, is eanvassing the coal
dealers today in reference to the size
of the sacks used in delivering coal.
Some of the dealers use eighty pouaa;
and others one hundred pound sacks.
This causes confusion on the part Of
the consumer as to just how much coal
Is being received in that some Of fine
dealers deliver more bags of coal than
Others.
Seaier loft is of the opinion that ali
the dealers should use the 100 pound
bags and it is with this idea in view
that he will call on the dealers today.
Sealer loft states that he will make
public the names of all dealers who
continue to use the so pound bags af-
ter the warning.
The sealer says that the eighty
pound bags were introduced into the
city by one dealer who gave his GUS
toners the impression that they were
receiving more coal, when the num-
Der of bags was considered than the
dealers they had dealt with formerly.
To compete with the so pound bag
man the 100 pound bag dealers bad to
secure similar bags, the chsnge causing
more or less confusion all around.

For about an hour yesterday
afternoon the triangular car turning
device at Smith and Water streets
was blockaded by New Brunswick
trolley No. 1,148 which, while
switching from one track to another

Finally by the use of chains with
