If you are feeling peevedand out of sorts, take a brisk walk. You will feel better. If your brain is oyerbqrdened andyour mind is sluggish, get in motion again, for your legs are good doctors. A brisk walk exercises the dormant muscles, stimulates the circulation of blood and brightens the mind. It is good for good people and better for the bad ones.

Let's Get Out of The Old Rut

Whats the use of spending our whole lives sleeping in the same old rut when there are biggers ones all around us?
 Whats the use of being in rut at all?
 We want more industries ln this town, lnd new industries are never found in ruts. Ruts are too small for them,
 There is nothing in the old rut for us, but there are oppor- tunities in every direction if we care to reach out and grasp them.
 It Is up to us.
 We can stagnate in our rut, or we can reach out and grasp something-pull ourselves out do something-get to the top.
 But we'll never do it as long as we rattle around in thesame old rut with the dry bones of our ancestors for company.
 We need industries, and there are manufacturers all over the country looking for changes in location.
 But they will never erect their plants in a rut.
 They are full of life, and they want a live atmosphere about them.
 They want to locate in z community with advantages.
 We hve them.
 They want to be surrounded by people of intelligence, wht Know how to use their brains
 We have the intelligence and our brains are capable 0. accomplishing vastly more thar we have ever dreamed of il the past.

BETTER THINGS AHEAD
 FOR GREATER NEWARK
Observation of Paragould Min ister While on Recent Visit
 to Old Home in This County

Dear Journal.-Wh hile on my visit to your town and oth- CT points, quite a number said, Well, you have quit writing for The Journal; what is the matter?"
 Of course 1 had to say some thing, and must do so now, or they won't want me to write again.
 1 could see some things I was sorry to see, and it would not be very good talk for me to mention. However, it is the effects of your last August ov- erflow. 1 could see it from ev- cry viewpoint. But with a good crop, Newark will be on her tip toes again, and going good and strong.
 The road item comes in for a part of my observation. 1 did not travel but one public high way, and that was from Sul- phur Rock out to my brothers,
 on Dota. With little excep- tion, it looks as it did fifty years ago. That was the deci- sion of myself and brother 1 George. This may not be real l good reading for some, but
 maybe it will wake up some 1 sleepy oFerseer and start him
 to work. A good road is next l to a good home. Good roads
 ought to make good homes,a l good homes good roads. 1 hear l you have fine road from New l ark to BatesvilIe via Ruther- 1 ford.And see,by the way, the
 autos are multiplying. More 1 good roads will have to be
 built, as they are road promot-
 ers-no good without a good lroad. 1 see Sulphur Rock has
 one, and Charlotte is givingsiX clock dinners. Sign of prog . ress-tWo dinners q day. By II the way what will become of 1 OId-IasnloHcu supper when we move dinner up to it's place? :? l Put 1t on over to breakfast, 1 guess. But then breakfast has Inc where to stand, unless it
 takes the place ofold-fashioned dinner As Abram Jasper said, "Shorely de Wurl' do move
 l am pleased to note the edu- cationaI advancement of Char
 lotte. This is good. Nothinglike teaching the young idea how to shoot and young shoot how
 to idea. 1 can remember when public sentiment had all the school of any note as far up in
 the hills as Mt. Home. There
 is where Ped and Harry Tun-
 stall and many others got their
 education. But the schools have
 come to the low lands. and
 come to stay.
 The Sulphur Rock school was
 established in 1872. It has done
 much for the youth of Inde- I pendence county, perhapsmore ! than any other one school in !, the county. The old bell that has been calling out for all these years was a gift by W.D. MeriWether. He was remark able man in many respects. We'll, 1 have written for The Journal once more. I am not Well-have my maiden at tack of inflammatory rheuma- tism, in my right knee.

ownership, though the government in
some way controls their operation. In
the areas of Belgium, Poland and parts
of France which have been occupied
by the Teutonic Allies there are some
5000 miles of railways which at pres
n are Entirely under military control.
Turning to the countries of the En-
tente Alliance, the statement finds that
in the United Kingdom none of the
$4,000 miles of roads is government
owned or operated. In France only
about 5000 miles out of an aggregate
mileage of $4,000 are held by the state,
although the French government has
close relations to a large part of the
remaining lines by reason of the
special terms of their charters or the
conditions under which they were
built. In Italy some 5000 miles of the
1000 miles of railway in the country
are government controlled. while in
Russia about sc per cent of the en-
pire's $4,000 miles are owned and, in
most cases, operated by the govern
ment.

in Minnesota, outside the corporate
limits. The site for the new depot IS

In a letter accompanying his biennial
report recently issued. Attorney Gen
eral Caldwell declares that the duties
of states attorneys in South Dakota
should be more specific and the scope
Of their work broadened to include
duties as advising county and township
officials. He recommended hat the
laws governing the duties Of states at
torneys should be amended to require
that these officials appear in all courts
and perform any and all legal services
for the county which may be required
of him in his official capacity"
A thoughtful person who found a
pocket-book containing $3.50 in cash
which was lost by Albert Chester, Of
Astoria, was kind enough to return the
pocketbood, but the money was miss
ing. When he lost the pocketbood he
gave public notice of the loss. The
next morning when he stepped upon
the porch of his home he found the
empty pocketbook lying there. The
checks which 1t had contained also
were missing. There is no trace of the
person who found the p~ocketbook and
ahstracted the money.

After a lot of litigation and many
conferences, a final settlement has
been reached between the old county of
Stanley and the two new counties Of
Faakon and Jackson, which were form
ed from the west part Of Stanley two
years ago. The disputes as to tn /,
proper method of settlement had gone
through to the supreme court and back
into the circuit court for a second
whirl, but with the signing of the
agreement entered into by the officials
OF the three counties all suits have
been dropped and the new counties
will issue to Stanley county warrants
for the amount which it has been de-
cided they owe for public improve
ments and the accounts will be closed.

A GROWING INDUSTRY

The American b~eet-sugar crop ha
grown quite steadily of late years. an
this years crop, $4,000 tons, VIII b
a record-breaker. Beet sugar prOdue-
ton in this country has been s%tatist!
cally important since 1901, when 1Si
500 tons We're produced. and thi-
years production is five time, thar
amount, while it is POO, 600 tons larger
than in 1913, the year before the War
started. In the year 1914 Germany
produced 5000. 900 tons. Russia 1851
600 tons, and Austria-Hungary 1885,
600 tons. 1t will be seen thai this
country's production this year is near
ly one-third of Germany's record pro
duction and ono-half of Austria-Hun
gary's total. France in 1929 pro
$4,000 tons in 1914-15, so that the
United States today is easily fourth IN
b~eet-sugar output. Great as has been
the activity in beet-sugar production OF
late years in this country. still greater
results are looked for with the continu
ance of the war abroad. For nine
months ending September 80, 1916, the
imports of beet-sugar seeds into this
country totaled 1913 900 pounds, or
more than was imported in the entire
year 1913. Before the war, according
to the Department of Agriculture. Ger
many was the chief source of sugar
beet seeds, but this trade is now in
the hands of the Russians. In the
fiscal year 1914 Germany supplied
nearly 5000, 900 pounds out of a total
Of 10,250,O0 pounds the remainder
coming chiefly from Austria-Hungary,
Russia and Holland. In the fiscal year
1916, however, Russia supplied 5 $751;
946 pounds cut of a total of 9,0t2, 400
pounds. 1t is an interesting fact that
exports of refined sugar in the first
nine months of 1916 totaled l,3SS.65o.-
9S4 pounds, or nearly so per ctnt more
than during the whole calendar year
1915, three and one-half times more
than in 1914, and twenty-six times
more than in 1913.

80 per cent, in South America 20 per
cent, and in North America 5 per cent.
The railway mileage of the United
States, given in the present compila-
ton as about 100000 miles, consti-
tutes 40 per cent, of the worlds total,
but there are no government owned
railroads in the United States except
the line now under construction in
Alaska. OF the railways in all other
countries outside of the United States,
slightly more than one-half are govern
ment owned and controlled. Particular
attention is paid in the statement to
the position of the railways in the
European countries now at war. 1t is,
in fact. indicated that this may have 4
direct bearing upon the extraordinary
mobility Of the movements of men,
munitions and supplies which have
marked the existing conflict. The rail-
way line in The warning countries, 1t
appears. amount to approximately 2O0,-
900 miles. of which about 1850 OO miles
are owned and operated by the govern.
ments. This applies especially to the
Central Powers. Practically all of
Germany's 40, 0 miles of roads and
Austro-Hungary's $4,000 miles are held
and operated by the state. while the
greater part of the 1000 miles in Turk
ish territory are subject to private
