Judging others by myself, l feel that 1t i> my duty to suggest To your goot people that they go to work ant put d good iron fence around this once beautiful little park, ther take all those trees out that have been peeled by stock, blow it and level 1t down nicely and SOW il m grass. Then when visitors come to yoyr city with view oi buying property you can, one and all, take them to see your beauti- ful little park.
 Remember your Auditorium and your city park are an index to the character of your citizens Ii they are kept Up in d nice. clean. and attractive way strangers will be much more inclined to buy property and locate Tn Your city. This ls human nature, and a few hundred dollars spent on beauti- lying your city park would add more to the value of Sprfngdale property than ten thousand dol- lars spent in newspaper adYertiS- ing.
 Human nature Is the same the world over, and my impressions of the good people were not what l would like them to have been when l passed through the pub- lie park last Sunday. If your people will 20 to work and put good iron fence around their park and level 1t up nicely and make 1t attractive to strangers as well as to the good citizens of Springdale, l will donate s10, and If 1t was in Rogers l would give $50. Remember, We are not judged by the amount we have. but by what We are and the way We care for what We have.
 Springdale Is good little city, and ought to make up enough money in twenty-four hours to make the desired improvements on this park. which is the incest spot of ground in the city, and if the business men of Springdale will not take the matter up and push 1t, l hope the good ladies will take it up and see If they cannot accomplish this work.
