BERRY SEASON
 BRINGS A RUSH
Several Thousand Dollars Worth of Luscious Fruit Shipped
 From Judsonia Daily

Editor Journal. Allow me small space i'll your valuable paper again as there might be some of our old friends who would like to hear from Us and to hear some thing about the strawberry crop at this time. Berry picking has just begun, and is about d month later than last year, therefore the season will be short one and not so good aswas expected. The town and country is flooded with pickers and more coming in every day, on every train and from every direction. Lots of people from the flooded district on the White and Mississippi rivers are coming here for work. Of course this is my first berry season here, butitseems to me that there are peopleenough here to eat the berries, plants and all. But some say there are none too many hands to pick the crop. Saturday afternoon and night looked like picnic crowdin town. They say by the 18th or 20th the rush will be on in good shape. There has only been a few days that they have been shipping in carload lots, but there will be sev- eral cars shipped every day from now on as long as the picking sea son lasts, which l think will be four or five weeks. Last year there were as high as 19 cars shipped in one day and some say there will be larger days shipping this year. Berries are selling now for $2.50 per crate and 1t takes from 450 to $50 crates to load a car, so you see Is or 20 cars would bring in quite little sum of money for one day. In my last letter you made little mistake in the amount of plants shipped in one day by one man. He shipped 100000 instead of O. 900. 1 guess you thought that was like the pepper the man prayed for altogether too much but nevertheless it was a fact.
 Wishing you and yours, The Journal and all our old friends success, am respectfully,
 J. C. GIBSON

MARRY IN CEMETERY

A wedding took place inNewark Monday afternoon in which the contracting parties not only con- pletely surprised theirmanyf friends but broke the conventional in a most unusual and unique manner.
 D. B. Cook and Miss Erie Will Hanson went out for a walk, ac- companied by Hugh Travis and Miss Morgan Tuggle. It had been previously arranged that Rev. G.. L. Fink should meet them near the cemetery. The minister was a little late or the young people were little ahead of schedule (possibly the latter and the young people were sitting in the shade of a spreading oak when the minister accompanied by his wife, coming across from his home nearby, saw them and beckoned them to come on and meet him. They did so, and the bridal party and the min- ister meeting in the cemetery, a wedding service was solemnized amid the mute marble shafts that mark the inevitable end of the lover, the loved and the unloved. The principals in this solemn yet most happy wedding were D. B. Cook and Miss Erie Williamson. Mir. and Mrs. Cook are among the most prominent and popular young people in town and The Journal heartily joins their many friends in wishing for them a full measure of all the good things of life.

SCHOOL CLOSES
 YEARS WORK
Large Crowds Attest the Great In- terest Taken in School by
 Satisfied Patrons

The closing exercises of the Newark High School began on Monday evening of last week, end ing with the graduating essays and the Reclamation contest on Friday night.
 The students all acquitted them- selves in such a pleasing manner as to reflect honor and credit up- on their teachers who had so care fully trained them.
 Thursday evening, "The Masonic Ring" a very appropriate com mencement play, was given by the pupils of the high school de- partnent. The performance went through without hitch and the ease and grace with which the pu- pills presented the play, and the en- thusiastic applause from the audi ence, showed how carefully the players had gone over the ground as we'll as the unusual talent of our boys and girls.
 Friday evening, with the audi torium crowded to its utmost ca pacity, the graduating essays and declamations were delivered. Those in the Reclamation contest for the gold medal were Horace Hoyt, Give Hawthorne, Tom Jack and Ruby Drennen. The judges for the contest were Profs. Raw lings and Burlington of Sulphur Rock and Duke Ward of Batesville. The contest was close, but after careful deliberation the judges de- cided that Horace Hoyt had won the medal, which was presented in the name of the business men of the town by Rev. A. H. Dulaney with a short and appropriate speech.
 The graduates from the high school were Misses Pearl Poe, Morgan Tuggle, Mary Alexander, RubyPoe and Bessie Arnold. Their subjects were as follows: "Happi- ness," Pearl Poe; "Value of little things" Morgan Tuggle;; Self Re liance," Mary Alexander; Music" " Ruby Poe; Love" Bessie Arnold.
 These essays were well arranged and full of thought. After the girls had received their diplomas, Pearl Poe being the honor gradu- ate of the class, was then present. ed certificate of award entitling her to a free scholarship in the Chilicothe Business College, offer ed by the president of that institu-

bill, which its authors and Gov. Donaghey had confidently offered as remedy for the existing finan- cial distress, will be defeated by the people. The overwhelming victory of Congressman Robinson, who fought the revenue measure bitterly, Gov. Donaghey announc- ing that he would stake his politi- cal future upon 1t, is interpreted as meaning that the bill which has been so active political issue since the bring of 1911, will be repudiated by the people in Sep tember.
 When the T. ]. Bill IS defeated, Gov. Robinson will be forced to adopt some other expedient to re- trench and recoup, and while his friendshave every confidence in his ability to do so, 1t does not appear at this time just what course he will pursue. More money must be raised. The assessment cannot be increased, except naturally, and the only other course open appears to be an increase in the tax levy. Will the new governor adopt that plan? The state has been going from bad to worse financiallysince Gov. Jeff Davis caused the state levy to be reduced from two and a half to one and three-quarters mills. At the same time the reve- nue was being reduced the ex- penses of the state were being in- creased, and many institutions de- manded by the people were being established with heavy pay-rolls and expense accounts. The result was inevitable. Early in the Don- aghey administration the deficit began to threaten, and 1t was averted for a time only by the most adroit fnanciering. Then for over a year 1t was predicted that the state must inevitably go upon a scrip basis. And for four months now it has been on a scrip basis. It is a long hill that the new ad- ministration has set to climb, and MT. Robinson is being praised for his courage in essaying the task.

CONFESSED
 RURAL SCHOOLS
State Superintendent Discusses Importance of These in Gre
 ating School Interest

1 earnestly urge county Super intendents, county examiners and teachers to cooperate heartily in stimulating interest in local, coun- ty and district fairs, or any other organizations that propose to have agricultural or industrial exhibits.
 It would be a splendid idea for every school in the county, and especially the rural schools, to have exhibits at all such gather ings.
 These occasions offer splendid opportunities for magnifying the work of boys and girls clubs of various kinds and to show the pat rons what the school is doing. Large numbers of children from the different schools of the county are brought together on these oc- casions and there results a larger outlook for the school and com munity.
 Friendly rivalry in the school and athletic contests of various kinds Is of immense value in an educational and social way. Ar range If possible for the schools of the county to attend these gatherings in a body.
 Will you not cooperate with those in charge of local arrange ments in seeing that various con- test features for the schools are ar- ranged in your county and that prizes are offered for these feat ures? In limited numbers athletic contests, school drills, map-draw- ing contests, spelling matches, dec lamatlon and oratorical contests, etc, might be arranged.
 This department will heartily cooperate in every possible way in this work. MT. J. L. Bond, sup ervisor of rural schools, who is working under the direction of the Department of Public Instruc- tion, will be glad to assist you di- rectly in this work. He is visiting the different counties from time to time in the interest of the TUT al school work and, if needed, his services are yours in helping to get this work organized in your county. Very sincerely yours,
 GEO. B. COOK.
 State Superintendent of Public Instruction.
