WIDEN GAUGE OF
MINERAL BELT ROAD

Cotter, Feb. 20.-A deal is
under way now between the
Rush Yellviile Mineral Belt
Railroad Company and other
parties to sell the narrow
gauge equipment purchased by
the company last year.The first
plan Of the company was to
make the road a narrow gauge
road and most of the grading
was completed from Yellville
to Rush for that kind of road9.
Recently the company changed
its plans and will construct a
standard gauge line into the
mineral field. All the ore now
being shipped from the field is
being hauled several miles ov-
er rough roads by wagons.

We believe the majority OF
Arkansans think alike on the
subject of the removal of the
State University.
Situated in the most remote
and inaccessible part of the
State, it has been and still is
being used as a high school for
Washington county. Senator
Alexander, one of the joint au-
thors of the removal bill, lives
at Blytheville, 420 miles from
the university. 1t takes TWEEN
ty-nine and one-half hours to
reach Fayetteville from Blythe
vile. Practically every point
in southern Arkansas is more
than 800 miles away, with in
adequate railroad connections,
so it usually takes a day and a
night or two days to go from
any point in southern, south
eastern or northeastern Arkan-
sas to the University. Is it any
wonder that the attendance
has not increased any in years?
Is it a wonder that in the years
.19O8-1909 there were little
more than 700 college students
at the University?
In February, 1912, the stu
dents at the University went
on a strike, issued a paper and
among other things, editorially
said:
Fayetteville may we'll be
glad public sentiment is against

THE NEWARK JOURNAL
Published Weekly

Editor and Publisher

1t is so easy to criticise ones
neighbor who has gone wrong
in morals, or made failure in
business, and so hard to give
credit for the effect of the in
fluences of impelling him to
disaster, over which he has no
control, that our criticism of
others is often very uncharit-
able, Men often say how good
they would have been, or what
they would have accomplished
had they been in the other
mans place. They do not stop
to ask why the fellow that was
in the other shoes did not sue
coed. If they did they would
often find the man who went
wrong, or who failed, was en-
titled to great credit for stand
ing up so bravely under forces
and burdens that might easily
have overthrow his accusers.
Sometimes the man who fails
is a greater hero than another
who wins.

A bread riot occurred in
New York City Tuesday when
several hundred women, many
of them carrying babies, storm
ed the city hall to demand re-
lief. The present high prices of

become critical all over the

"a living at home" should
be the first object in planning
the rotation this year. The liv-

BRYAN AGAINST

Views on Railroad Control

Federal Regulation Should Not Be Al

Authority, He Contends-Thinks Rail-

Bonds.
Washington, Dec. II. - William ].
Bryan, who startled the country ten
years ago by advocating government
ownership Of railroads, appeared be-
fore the Newlands Joint Committee on
Interstate Commerce last week in sup
port of the claim that the states should
be allowed to retain authority over the
regulation of all transportation lines
within their borders. Mr. Bryan eX-
planned that he had long regarded gov
ernment ownership as inevitable. but
only because of railroad opposition to
effective regulation.

where competition is impossible"
Alfred T. Thorn, counsel to the Rail

previously had presented before the
members of the Newlands Committee
as one Of his reasons for urging bet

both her holiday games this week by
taking Brawley into camp this after
noon by score of 8 to 0. 1t was a
hotly contested fast game nine full
innings being played in one hour and
forty minutes. Easter was in fine
form, never being in hole during
the game and in one inning only al
lowing more than four men to come
to the plate. Smith pitched his usual
steady game, but four errors in the
score column explain the three runs
chalked up against him. Score by

Tomorrow night at o'clock So
cash prize will be awarded the con-
testant turning in the largest num-
Der of months in new subscriptions
during the week ending at that hour.
One extra subscription obtained by
some contestant before that time may
mean the winning by her of this cash
prize, and at the same time her score
will be boosted by the number OF votes
allowed on that subscription.
New Candidate May Enter.
A young lady called at contest head
quarters this morning and may enter
the contest. She has been watching
the scores during the last few days
and feels that she could easily over
take the leaders by little serious
work and the prizes are worth it.
1t would take only about dozen
new subscriptions for a year to place
a new contestant in the lead for the
automobile, as the score list stands
today, for each subscription would
carry 5000 votes, making 10000 votes
for the twelve, and if those subscrip-
tions were obtained this week they
would win 10000 bonus votes, max
ing a total of $4,000, or nearly 5000
more than the leader today.
The Bonus Offer.
A bonus of 10000 extra votes will
be awarded Saturday to all who turn
in six new subscriptions for a year
or more each. The bonus can be won
two or more times by the same con-
testant, for there are many in Ell Cen
tro who would subscribe if a candi
date suggested the matter to them. A
large number call almost daily to buy
copies of the Press and it would be
a saving to them if they subscribed

took both Sundays and New Years
games from Seeley, the first contest
resulting II to 4 and the second end

The first contest was lost by the
Farmers in the first three sessions,
when Imperial gobbled nine runs on
hit, five bases on balls, two batsmen
being hit and three errors. The Sec
ond was lost in the first, when the
sluggers annexed three hits, while
Seeley contributed four errors. See
ley, however, offered an excellent ali
bi in not being able to place any
where near their regular team in the
field in either game, injuries making
it necessary to switch players and

0DELL u. H. s. WILL
OPEN ON AUGUST n

0dell high school will begin its first
full term in the new high school build
ing August q. The directors have
spared no labor or expense in prepar-
ing for the coming years work. In
addition to the courses offered last
year, they have added a commercial
course, including shorthand, typewrit-
ing and other commercial subjects; also
a domestic science course.
Teachers of exceptional ability have
been secured. Prof. V. M. Vose, prin-
cipal, of the school, needs no special
mention, as his work in the district for
the past three years speaks for itself.
Miss Jane Thickens, of Seattle, a grad
uate of the University of Washington,
who has specialized in home economics
and commercial work, will teach the
subjects for which her special training
has made her most efficient. Miss
Thickens has had five years of expert
ence and her work is highly recon-
mended. Miss Anna II. johnson, also
a graduate of the University of Wash
ington, will teach German, English,
botany and history. Miss johnson has
lived one year in German speaking
family and has tutored in German at
the U. of W.
With such an efficient corps of teach
ers, a new and spacious building well
equippd, the Odell Union High School
is prepared to raise its last years en-
rollment of so to rs or more. Pupils
living in the country need no longer
feel that they must give up their hopes
of complete high school education
because they live so far from Hood
