BETTER MAIL SERVICE

Beginning last Wednesday, bet ter mail service was inaugurated between Newark and Batesville through an order of the postoffice department which requires the Cushman local to deposit a pouch here as it goes east in the morn ing and to take on mail here as 1t goes west in the afternoon.

FLOOD RECORDS BROKEN

The heaviest rainfall in the his tory of Newark occurred Thurs day night, causing the town branch to break all records for high water. The water was two feet deep Pridmore's restaurant and in the stores of J. H. Holderby, M. S. Fisher, Moore Bros. and J. I. Sturdivant. The water backed up Brown alley and the force of the flood caused the back doors in these buildings to give away and the buildings were flooded. Ev- cry business house on the block west of Main street was flooded to some extent but where the doors did not give away the damage was slight. J. H. Holderby's stock was damaged about S400, M. S. Fishers about $500 and Moore Bros. about $1,000.
 Moore Bros. had large quanti- ties of goods stored in their ware house back of the store and their greatest loss was in the ware house.

COY. .FUTRELL CALLS
 ELECTION JULY g
Date Set For Special Election to Choose Governor to Serve
 Robinson's Term

Little Rock, Mch. 25.-The next governor of Arkansas will be chosen July g, a proclamation to that effect being issued by Acting Gov. J. M. Futrell late Monday afternoon, after he had consulted a number of state officials regard ing the best time for the election to be held.
 I have given the matter much study" stated Acting Gov. Futrell, in order to have the election plac- ed so the farmers may get their crops laid by in time to vote, and at the same time do justice to all persons who may wish to lay their claims before the voters. The time, 1 think, is sufficient for the men who desire to make the race for governor to get before the people, and on the other hand, to give the people a chance to look up the candidates and satisfy themselves which is the best"
 The democratic state central committe will probably hold a meeting and set the date for a pri- mary, to be held in time to give the candidates twenty days in which to place their names upon the ticket for the general election. This will permit the holding of the primary during the latter part of May.

INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY.


Twin Falls has on several occasions
put on celebrations and fairs and
made marked success. On several
other occasions the celebrations have
been flat failures. IN every case OF
failure the reason was clear and plain.
1t was not the lack of money or lack
of effort of those in charge. The
whole fault can be laid at the door
of each individual citizen who was
content to stand back and let some
body or nobody, as 1t more often hap
Falls has advertised carnival and
aviation meet with unusual, attrac-
tons which will surely please. Cou-
pied with these attractions have been
advertised several parades and spec
tacular stunts which are dependent
for success upon the initiative Of in
dividual citizens. Twin Falls citizens
are proud of their city and should
show it by doing little extra work
to create favorable. impression on
the many visitors who may come dur
ing the carnival. The automobile parade
should find every owner of an auto
mobile entered in that parade with his
car decorated for the occasion. The
Oh-ad-i parade should be on the mind
of every citizen to see that it is a sue
cess. You have no right to- stand on
the street corner and criticise the eff
fort of the loyal booster who may be
in the parade doing his part to make
it success. Your place is in the
parade or to at least see that you have
a substitute in it somewhere. Pay some
one to do the work of preparing your
float if you cannot do it yourself.
Above all just Nget the idea that you
have some responsibility for the sue
cess of every public undertaking in
this city.

This is an argument in favor of
Government ownership of railway

There are those who believe that
the time is ripe for our government
to take over the railroads. And they
also believe that great reductions in
rates and fares would result, while at
the same time the net revenue ac-
cruing to the government after de-
Quoting all operating expenses would
soon have the Golfers of our treasury

| shall not stop to deny that gov
eminent ownership of railroads may
become practical within another gen
Grafton or two. 1t certainly is not
practical at the present time And
it is doubtful if any one living today
will ever see the federal government

1t is not my purpose, however, to
argue that long step, but much simp-
Ter one of real progress.
Government ownership of railway

il you are like the great majority of
persons, you can't make such pay
ment unless you have been saving
money regularly and Systematically.
When you buy a home you will &C
quire a feeling of independence and
be freed from great many annoy
ances. You will be your own land
lord and will not have to let possible
buyers be shown through your home
at any time.
1t may be that you are not yet mar
ried. Then save with the object of
getting married. Possibly you want a
college education Save for that wor-
thy purpose. Perhaps you want to go
into business for yourself some day.
1t takes money to do that and the
chances are that nobody will hand it
out to you on silver platter You
must earn and save it yourself.
If you consider earnestly all the
things you could accomplish if you
had more money at your disposal, and
then stop to think that a great many
of these things are surely within your
reach If you practise thrift and keep
your eyes open for opportunities, you
will have all the incentive necessary
to save money.
And remember this, your earnings
get into the bank whether you put
them there or not. Are you saving
some of your income and systematic
ally putting it away where it will work
for your benefit, or is it all slipping
through your fingers into the pocket
and bank account of somebody else?
