Ozark Too Backward

A few days ago one of Ozarks business men received letters from parties who had been con- sidering coming here to reside. And this is what one said your town is too backward in not hav- ing water works and sewarage. "
 Another party asked if the town has an ice plant and water works, It Is not an unusual thing for travelling men to remark a. bout the town of the class that Ozark Is not hay ing works, And now with the many other improvements of the town and for the good of the community, the things mentioned above would make our little city one of the very best in Arkansas.
 Ozark with it's friendly climate sunny skies. beautiful scenery would be looked on with envy by larger towns when she has pass ed from her backward state.

1920 Campaign Issues

The New York Tribune has concluded it's three months Nat ional Republican Platform Con- test in which {, 29l blanks were submitted. The results gives an insight to the issues which are uppermost in the minds of Re- publicans of high and low de- gree, for the contest was Nation al in scope and was participated in by presidential candidates, senators. congressman. gover- nors. party leaders and the rank and file.
 It IS noteworthy that the issue of the relations between Capital and Labor leads all others. hav- ing been mentioned by 7l9 con testants. An industrial court, partner hip between the em- ployer anu the employe and gov ernment controll are generally favored. Foreign Relations holds second place with 690 blanks. Of this number, 306 favor adoption of the League of Nations covenant with reseava. tions, l3o favor it's utter reject ion and there are many general proposals Americanization, Army and Navy programs. Cost of Liv- ing Constitutional Reforms, Bol- shevism, Ed lcation. Conserva- ton of National Resources and Social Legislation follow Tn the ord CT given.
 The contest reveals that a new crop of issues will govern the l92J campaign. Old favorites like the Currency. Railroads, Island Possessions. Women's Suffrage and Agriculture exite little interest, Even Prohibit ton IS given little attenti ton The points of discord which a few years ago divided votes in two hostile camps are no longer capable of arousing party excite ment. Striking evidence of the change is given by the fact that of the 7.29l blanks only l97 rfer to the Tariff. which was the tocsln souned by grim political warriors in a score of campaigns.

ArkanSans Amazed By
 Iowa Farmers

automobile trip through Scott county today left the members of the Arkansas Profitable Farm. ing Bureau party stunned and amazed. Most of the members of the party are farmers and all of them have some farming in- trests. All of them thought that they knew considerable about farming. Tonight they admitted that they knew nothing about farming as it is practiced here.
 They went through a regio n of small farms. There are few large land owners and practically no breeders of pure bred stock,
 The men whom the Arkansas visited today are just plain, ordinary farmers who raise hogs and cattle and sell them on the market. Their receipts from thelr live stock. their dairy cattle and their chickens form the prin- clpal parts of their income. They are paying what seems like fabulous wages to their farm laborers and yet these farm CTS are making big profits which make the Arkansas cotton grow CTS seem like pikers by compari- son.
 The secret. as the Arkansans discovered. is that these Iowa farmers are overlooking no bets. They miss no chance to make an honest penny. They pay big wages to their farm labors and yet these farmers are making big pro fits. profits which make the Arkansas cotton growers seem likers by comparison. They use big implements by which one man is enabled to do a prodigious amount of work in a day. Throughout the day. the Arkansans did not see an idle man. Everyone was putting Tn his hardest lichs.
 The party visited :12 farms to day. They saw holstein COW that gave five tons of milk in a year when she was 2 years old.
 They viewed herds of Gu ern- seysethat had produced an aver age of $40 worth of butter in a year.
 Bankers Are Astounded. The bankers in the party were simply astounded when visited the banks of Eldridge, a town of 232 inhabitants. The two banks have total deposits of Sl. 300. 900, all of which belong to farmers. From this town are shipped 400 dozen eggs every week. Farm hands in this county are receiving S90 q month in addition to their board and room and laundry work and their employ CTS also board a horse for them. for practically every farm hand has a horse and buggy.
 But tu offset this tbe farmers use the largest implements which require four or five horses to pull them. :Today the Arkansas party Saw five horses pulling q gang blow. Hltched behind the plow were two more horses pull ing a harrow. Ali this outfit was driven by one man. The farmers of this section figure on cultivating 100 acres for every farm hand that they employ.
 On these farms. the owners have adopted labor-Saving de- vices in their barns. piggeries. henhouses and sheds. M ost of the homes .have electric lights, hot and cold running water and an electrically operated laundry m the cellar. Some of them

EDUCATION AND
 GOOD ROADS

A community IS to be congrat- ulated in constantly endeavoring to improve it's educational facili- ties. but what benefit does the school bestow upon the growing mankind and womankind if these schools are practically isolated and inaccessible because of the impossible roads. Don't we owe it to the children to give them schools provide them with Ian education? Then we must make these schools available through improved highways.
 It must be possible for the pupils to reach the scools at all times and not find themselves prevented therefrom through bad roads, whose conditions pro- habit transportation.
 The educational advantage due to good roads is sufficient reason for community to undertake highway improvement, although other benefits are at the same time realiz ed Out of the Mud
