CLEAN UP EARLY

An inch of prevention is worth a mile of cure! Spring is at hand. The fly and mosquito will soon be among us. Now is the time to be- gin to see ways and means for their destruction. And the sooner Newark begins to clean up-and the more thorough the cleaning the less we will be infested by the pests. From their premises, every citizen should make it their civic and moral duty to remove every breeding place of disease germs. Clean up early.

Coffin of this city, member of the Board of Trustees of the Arkansas College, says the college will not be moved to Morrilton as has been rumored for the past two weeks MT. Coffin said the main building built in 1892, was paid for by the people of Batesville, as had been agreed by the synod in charge. He said that in the erection of this building it was specially mention ed that the college would remain in Batesville during its lifetime.

good roads movement has no bet ter friend in congress than Old field.
 President Wilson strongly ad- vocated the passage of this bill in a message to congress early in De cember. It was also advocated by Secretary Bryan and Secretary Lane of the Interior Department; in fact every member of the cabi- net was for the bill; and 1t was supported by the leading Demo- crats in both houses of Congress.
 'Now this effort of Tom Camp bells friends to prejudice the peo- pie against Oldfeld in this matter will amount to just about what Campbell's buncombe on the fam ous Sunk Lands bill did in the campaign two years ago.
 Tt will be remembered that Tom Campbell carried Randolph by only a little over 200 votes in his race two years ago, and he came within 14 votes of losing his home town and township. We are no prophetic political seer, but we make this prediction: That Will Oldfeld will defeat Tom Campbell by over ten thousand votes and come nearer carrying Randolph county than he did two years ago" :"

OLDFIELD'S VOTE
 IS COMMENDED
He Stands For Interests of the Peo- pie and in Accord With Demo-
 cratic National Platform

The following from the Williford News is a fair sample of what the newspapers of the district are say about Congressman Oldfeld's vote on the Alaskan railroad bill, about which his opponent is so severely criticising him.
 This government paid S7, 200, 900 for Alaska. It is a great coun- try; rich in gold, silver, copper, coal, timber, fish and fur products. The U. s. owns 98 per cent of all these products in Alaska and 9e per cent of all the land; hence, one can see at once that 1t is in the in terest of the people to build trans portation in Alaska because the territory belongs to all the people and when the railroad is built to open this great store house, it will also belong to the people.
 Furthermore, the bill was so drawn that the territory of Alaska itself pays for the road out of her own products as they are mined and taken to the mar ket.
 Territorial expansion and de- velopment have always had a hard road to travel. There were many who said Jefferson's purchase of Louisiana was a wild venture, yet today 1t is the garden spot of the nation.
 "When Oregon was purchased, the senate of the U. s. was told by an illustrious senator that he would not give "a pinch of snuff for the whole territory which he described as "a wild gambling venture"
 When Will Oldfeld voted for this Alaskan railroad bill he dem- onstrated high degree of states manship.
 Such . man as Tom Campbell would have voted with the other members of the Arkansas delega- tion in congress against the bill, then when running time come around again, come home and say the government was extravagant in such matters; that the money would be better spent on the pub- lie roads, etc. Now the fact is the
