The funniest thing was TO see two or
three OF the English correspondents sent
from London when they heard of Hill
toms being 8 down. They dropped their
cigarettes and were specifies at first,
declaring It must be a mistake. Hilton,
when one OF them a close personal
friend, asked him for a word of COM
ment begged leave to be excused, say
ing merely that he felt badly"
Walter Travis started badly haiving
the first and losing the next two holes
on the fourth. Legg pulled his second
into the mounds, failed to get out and
then lost his putt. taking s to T. That
was the turning point. Travis squared
matters on the eighth and did not lose
the lead from the ninth.
on the tenth Travis cut par four a
stroke, while Legg put his third into
the bunker and took s. The veteran
was 3 up on the eleventh. but could
only have the next five, He dropped
the nth by being so bunkered that he
picked It up. The last hole was halved.

What the people of this part of

What the people of this part of the country are more interested in right now than anything else, is the making of big crop of hog and hominy, cotton, hay and fruit. When there is plenty of corn and hay in every barn, fat and sleek horses, mules, COWS and hogs in every pasture, and every smoke house contains an abundance of the fruits of the field, garden and orchard, then there is not much danger of the country going to the dogs, no matter who is presi- dent, tax collector or constable.

The Jackson County Democrat has been moved from Newport to Tuckerman. If subsequent issues do not carry more home patronage than the first issue, which appear ed last week, the move will prove suicidal. Tuckerman is a good town and should have a paper but several have been starved to death there.

GOOD OLD DAYS
 ARE STILL HERE


 The Journal takes no stock in the oft expressed theory that the world is growing worse. If those people who are always lamenting the passing of the good old days, who ask in hopeless tones for the noble men, the consecrated women of other times, would only open their eyes to the real lives of the men and women about them, they would usually find the answer to their pesslmistic questions right at hand.
 We look back to the men of an earlier generation and recognize their honesty of purpose and uprightness of soul because we are able to look at their lives as a whole, and to see their mistakes and faults and sins for what they truly were-mere blemisheS upon characters that were true and sound.
 Of course there are great many bad people in the world to- day, as there always were, and al- ways will be. But too often as we look at our neighbor we allow the little defects, because of their near ness, to appear larger to us than do the real qualitieS--the innate integrity and goodness the man.
 It behooves all of us to remem- Der that were we judged only by our weaknesses and our errors, we would seem very bad indeed. Yet in our own hearts most of us know that we wish to do right, to be just and kind and helpful. It IS not at all likely that the men and women all around Us are so very different.
 It Is not worth while to ask, as so many do, for the old-fashioned men and women of many virtues; If we cannot see them all around us 1t is only because we have a dis torted vision of life.
 The men of today are as up- right, as true, and as truly devout as men ever were. The women of today are as pure, as loving, as tenderly helpful and as serenely hopeful as women have ever been,
 The old-fashioned father who gave good counsel and set a good example to his children can be found all over the land. The old fashioned mother, whose gentle charity was as boundless as the universe and whose self-sacrifieing devotion covered her loved ones as with a garment, walks the streets of every village and throngs the aisles of every country church The sweet girl of the old-time; the youth of great ambition and high ideals; the people who unselfshly loved home and country, and who reverenced truth and honor-all these, the real nobility of earth, are all about us; we jostle them in the streets or see them pass along the big road every day.

HELP! THEY'RE SMOTHER
 ING US WITH ROSES!

Of the various exchanges that come to our office we must men ton in complimentary terms The Newark Journal. Newark is a town less than 1000 people yet its paper is better than the ones pub lished in towns four times larger. The merchants encourage the ed itor with a liberal use of his col umnS and the whole sheet IS clean, well printed and shows a united effort on the part of the publisher and citizens to produce a paper that will reflect credit on the splendid little town i've have nev- CT seen it, we are judging it by the paper) and we wish the owner a continuance of the encourage ment he is receiving Jackson County Democrat.
 A newspaper IS one of the best means of telling a stranger what kind of people reside in a town, and what kind of a town they re- side in. The above article in re- gard to Newark demonstrates that fact. The editor of the Democrat says We have never seen the town, we are judging 1t by the pa per" He IS right about the town being a good one, and also about The Journal being a good paper. We are familiar with The Journal since its first issue, and 1t has al- ways been a good paper, but since 1t has received the hearty coopera- tion of the citizens, 1t has been all the more able to build up the town to what 1t is today. 0. F. Craig, the editor, is a hard worker and a good newspaper man, but he would not have been in Newark as long as he has, had the business men and citizens not taken an in- terest in him, and realizing what a good paper means to a town, giv- en him their support. Wynne Progress.
 Now, really, what's a timid, modest fellow to do when he's lit erally showed under by an av- alanche of roses like this?
 Here are enough roses to pass 'em around to all the folks who have so Loyalty stood by The Jour- nal and helped us to make it true representative of our town and country. So we are passing 'em out to the folks who really deserve them. We know they are genuine because our old friend Bob Wad- dell, editor of the Wynne Progress | is too honest to hand a package like that to a neigbor if 1t were spurious. Bob is one of the best, most successful and conscientious newspaper men in Arkansas. This is proven by the fact that he is making a decided success in a town that has Apparently, unde- servedly) been known as a newspa- per graveyard. But he erased the word failure" from his vocabulary several years ago: Bob is a natur- al cIimber-he wont say down even when he gets in an elevator and the only thing that can ev- CT down Bob will be a Kansas cy- clone.

Here is a good thought from Farm and Ranch for the farmer: "The high cost of living IS not felt by those who produce most of the living on the farm. High cost comes from living out of stores from the returns of cheap cotton. "
