EUROPE FOR CLEAN MOVIES
Foreign Countries Are Buying Much

Europe is buying more motion pic

much raw material. II gives employ

in the report Of our vice consul, David
@. Kerr, stationed at Birmingham.
England, who notifies the secretary Of
commerce that "the only recommenda-
ton offered by renting agents as to any
improvements desired In American
films Is request for 'less of the sex

to seeing indecent plays. suggestive
movies and women In scant drapery
that we have lost the proper sense Of

o. State holland announced following
investigation of the potato situation by
inspectors OF his office. The prices on
these old potatoes has been forced
down by the arrival Of new potatoes
from California. The secretary Of
state said that there are 125 cars Of

The rs carloads at Greeley represent
10000 pounds, which will be wasted.
Secretary Noland will make investiga-
tions to find out II potatoes have been
held at other points in the state in
similar manner on orders Of dealers.
The arrival of the new potatoes
brought down the price OF the old rs
and so cents. Qld potatoes are selling
at prices ranging from $3.50 to $5.75
per 100 pounds. A year ago at this
time the prices ranged from $4.75 to

Southwest to laugh at the government agricultural
experts who have from time to time been sent out

The Indians profess great interest, and not to

matches alongside those Of the federal apostles OF
modern farming. The government corn came up

development of the deep-growing corn which often
raises only its ears above the surface. The corn

its origin in Mexico and was adapted to this
climate by the Indians.
The agricultural secrets Of the Manian Indians
have recently been applied in the Dakotas with
such success thnt the domain Of the tassel-

Introduction of the Indian methods have made 1t
possible for the farmers 10 grow corn which can
be harvested within GO days after It Is planted and
thus escape the frosts which would ruin It even

Corn, therefore, should be an ideal food for both

Our New Governor
and Petty Politics

Arkansas has a new COVER
nor whose virtues have been
widely heralded by his friends
and who has been held up as
model, heightened highly
cultured, educated Christian
gentleman Of the highest type.
The Arkansas Gazette, the
States Bleeding LoosepapeI,
has enthusiastically held him
up as a paragon of perfection
whose mind and motives were
as pure as the driven snow
man who would seorn to
stoop to anything common or
coarse-a man who would
shudder at the thought of COM
hitting any unquestionable act
"a man who is the living per-
sonification of the White Life
a man who is too much of
gentleman to stoop to an I'M
kind act of any kind or char
acter-a man whose purity and
high sense of honor was never
equalled by a living being, with
the bare exception of the Man
of Galilee.
His elevation to public life
was a token that all things
common, coarse or vulgar had
come to an end in Arkansas,
and that henceforth every liv-
ing thing, even the donkeys,
would become fine-haired and
would bray only in the most
highly cultured and musical
tones.
But instead of this what do
we IlfIu
The day arrives for the in
auguration Of the new COVER
nor. The hour is fixed by his
friends at 2 o'clock. and de-
spite the alleged culture and
refinement of their chief, they
attempt a rough stunt to humi-
late the outgoing governor
that was never equalled in the
history of Arkansas, by refus-
ing his messenger admittance
for the purpose of filing a list
of appointees who must be con-
firmed by them.

going to get Arkansas out Of
debt and redeem the states

The Newark journal. (Newark, Ark.) 1901-1959, 1917-01-18

1t is whispered around that
If the list is not filed the offices
become vacant, and thus the
incoming governor will be en-
abled to pay some political
debts by appointing his friends
to the places thus made va
cant.
This is the very rottenest
sort of cheap politics, and was
never attempted before by any
governor in the entire history
of Arkansas.
But the senate adjourns with
out permitting the list to be
filed, and runs rough-shod over
the outgoing governor in their
attempt to humiliate him,prob-
ably because he is considered
only very common sort of a
human and not in the same
class with the very dignified
and highly cultured new gov
ernor.
In a few moments a rumor
reaches the state house that a
senator who has been sick for
several days is dying. A speed
program IS then staged in
which the cultured and high
toned new governor plays the
leading part. 1t is rumored that
the sick senator is dying, and
the new governor, it seems, de-
sires to take no chances in per-
hitting the senator to die be-
fore he gets into office, fearing
that the retiring governormight
appoint someone to fill the
vacancy.
The new governor is a very
cultured gentleman, but he i'm
mediately proceeds to exhibit
sacreligious disrespect for
both the supposedly dying SEN
ator and the high office of gov
ernor, and show his contempt
for the retiring chief executive.

do during the campaign? The
new offices he wants created
will cost the state at least
100000 per year in salaries,
and will be of very little bene-
fit to anybody except those who
get the appointments. Are the
taxpayers Of Arkansas willing
to dig down in their pockets
for the additional 100000 per
year in order that the new gov
ernor may provide fat jobs for
his friends?

There are two conceptions
as to the farm. One is that it Is
the place to make money, an
other that il is a place to live
and serve. The same general
conceptions prevail as to bust
ness. Some men value their
business chiefly as an oppor-
tunity to accumulate wealth,
others for the particular reason
that it permits them to build
up homes and serve society.
No man should be eensured
because he likes to earn money,
provided always it is earned
honestly. Society may be served
by men of great wealth as we'll
as by men Of limited means.
But we believe the highest
conception a man can place on
his business is that it gives him
an opportunity to serve his fel-
low beings n society, in educa-
ton. and in general progress.
So long as the farm is re-
garded only as a place to make
money it will not afford COM
fort and convenienees that peo-
pie enjoy. But when it is main
