What Some of Our Leading Edi-
 tors Say of the Publication. A few of the leading newspa- pers of this part of the state have been furnished copies of "A Sol- dier in the Philippines" asking for an expression of the judge ments of the editors as to the merits of the publication.
 The following gratuitous in- dorsements are duly appreciated: We are in receipt of a copy of "A Soldier in the Philippines" which was written by Martin B. Russell, late returned from the Philippine Islands, where he was a member of the Thirty fourth Infantry, Company I. The book is a splendid piece of work and was not only written by Carroll county boy, but all the work on it was done in THE GREEN FOREST TRIBUNE office which is a great credit to our county. The book contains eighty-three pages of interesting reading and is illus trated by several half tone cuts taken from real life. It is to be hoped that the book will have a successful sale.-Eureka Springs Times.
 "A Soldier in the Philippines is the attractive title of book just issued which has local in- terest to the people of North Arkansas in the fact that it con- tains the experiences of one of our own boys, Martin B. Russell of Green Forest, who is just back after three years service in that far off land. In spite of the fact that it is but a straightfor- ward narrative of personal ex- periences, the readers interest is held by the striking adventures and the strangeness of the people of the country fully as much as if it were a work of the widest fiction. The whole story is ex- ceedingly well told, is illustrated by half tones from a valuable collection of photographs, and is gotten up in a manner both neat and attractive. A copy may be had by sending 50 cents in let ter to the publisher, M. B. Rus sell, Green Forest, Ark.-Har- rison Times.
 We acknowledge with pleasure the receipt of a copy of "A Sol- dier in the Philippines,' book written by Martin B. Russell. The book is, as one would judge from it's title, the experiences of a soldier who had seen service in the Philippines. Much has al- ready been written on this sub- ject all of which is more or less interesting, as actual experience usually is, but the "Soldier" tells it in a catchy way, and gives great deal of information, not heretofore made public, it being the real campfire and field ex- perience of one who went through it all. A splendid description of the Filipino and his home life is portrayed and yet while it tells all that a soldier was likely to learn, it is not voluminous, being devoid of all frills and furbelows. Extra interest is added to the book in Carroll county because the writer lives in this county, where he is we'll known and has many friends. Send 50 cents to M. B. Russell, at Green Forest, and get copy of it.-Eureka Springs Flashlight.
