AS TO PARKS

The park habit in Pine Bluff is growing, but is not by any means OverwOrked as yet. While many vis. it Forest Park daily. the nunber ic not as large as it should be. In the heat and wear of the summer weather, is 1t good for the mental as well as the physical weII-heins of man to seek the change and the rest from hot and dusty pavements and the noise and rush of the daily business life, and enc naturally turns to the parks as the most con venient refuge.
 One Of the city's most beneficial institutions is it's parks and the park habit is one to be cultivated Most people do not have the park habit, and the St. Louis Times. in commenting upon this subject says.
 'The city man is usually coun- try man iii birth and early training When he comes to town he falls in the way of the thousands who have preceded him. He finds him a house, be it mansion or fiat, and thlther he goes after hard day downtown in the brick and steel prison which he calls his office or store. Evening finds him tired Sunday finds him relaxing-on couch or in an easy chair, mauling over newspapers that lie in garnish- ly colored stacks on the floor.
 And the parks are open. They offer 8 welcome-they sound the old call to nature. Years before, the country-bred man-eity knew this call Now he is deadened to it save as tradition or as an "order" from the ahigt@priced physician < HfS ears no longer prick np at the sound of the brown thrush cry.

If the clubwomen throughout America are suffering a 1 dearth of amusements, then let 1 them band together and enlist others into the worthy cause of planting flowers this year. Do this and en- courage others to do the same, and it will not be labor in vain.
 FOR THE CITY BEAUTIFUL. ''The City Beautiful is one of the striking developments of the current urban movement, every where; clubs in this behalf, are be- ing formed and a sentiment awaken ed in behalf of the city and town adornment. Classes are being form ed and instruction given in the en- bellishment of grounds, lawns and garden, a spirit of generous rival ry for the most attractive premises is awakened among homeholders in every street, and out of it all comes a benefaction to the public where ever the movement has gained a foothold, for nothing is more re- freshing to the stifled denizen of the town than natures manifesto tions in flowers and greenery.
 The spirit that animates this movement is a generous and bene- ficent on and should be encouraged. Here, in Pine Bluff we have many beautiful lawns and gardens: many men and women are already posess- ed of the spirit that makes for this kind of beauty; and it is sug- gested that those who are, thus en- dowed unite for the propagation of the gospel of urban bellishment and Identification, intoxicating ap- preciation of this kind of culture and inspiring taste for it. A "City Beautiful" club ought to be organ ized in that behalf, and this summer season is the time for successful 1 movement in that direction when every sense is alive and rsponsible to natures appeal to come Vnd en- joy her beauty. The spirit is here it's expression is seen along every street; it is only needed to give it a positive definite, united voice to make it effective for good results.

Even the community of the unguarded lawns wherein each cares for his own as faithfully as of old but sets up nc barrier to his neighbours enioyine it also, tells that the world is mov- ing forward. It symbolizes the pulling down, in these later days. of many line fences that have long shut away man from his brother. The Protestant can see now that there are blessed and healing herbs growing in his Catholic neighbours garden, though they may not be the same as his own, and the trim walks and carefully-laid-out beds of the high churchman lie so fraternally near to the wealth of flower and fruit in the free" church lawn that he lnds he can wander over occasionally md enjoy the latter in brother,r ashion.

Ont. the Weeds.

The Tribune has had occasion to
call the attention of the committee
on streets and alleys to the fact that
a number of property owners pay
no attention to the growth OF weeds
and grass that adornes the streets
abuting their property. 1t is poor
encouragement for one owner to trim
up In front of his property, while
his neighbor pays no attention to the
condition existing on his side OF the
line. The city has an ordinance Gov
ering this nuisance and needs only
TO be enforced. and we have marshal
that will see that 1t Is enforced II

For Free City Delivery.

Mr.. H. R. Cleaver is an enterpris-
ing young man, in public as well as
in business affairs. Thursday he
took a notion that Caldwell was en-
titled to free city delivery, and i'm
mediately got into communication
with the post Office. He found that
for the year ending March S1st., that
the receipts of the Caldwell post Of
flee exceeded $1O,5O0.00, and that
the receipts for the fiscal year end
ing June 3Oth would exceed $1,000,
which woul entitle Caldwell to free
city delivery. The town has good
side walks, electric lights, and the
streets are being named and the
houses numbered. Consequently al
the department requirements have
been or are being complied with
Mr.. Cleaver drew up and circulated
a proper petition Thursday. The
same will be forwarded to Washing
ton in a few days. There Ia appar
emily no reason why Caldwell SHOULD
not have the service.

An Imnortant Decision.

The Tribune recently stated that
Judge Bryan had an important water
suit in his court. The title of the
case was u. l.. Midday VS. The. Pion-
eer Irrigation District" Owing TO
the fact that a number of very in
tricate points of law was raised by
the attorneys, 1t was several days be
fore Judge Bryan was able to rem
der decision The case was one
where the canal company delivered
water to Mr.. Midday at point about
one-half mile from his ranch, for one
season, and part of another, but
afterwards decided to change the
point of delivery to a distance of
miles from his ranch. He procured
a mandamus compelling the district
to continue to deliver the water a
the point of first delivery. In this
contention the court held for Midday
or in other words, the district eoult

When Orchard saw before him the

BASE BALL

"The coloredstroops fought nobly,"
so lid the Caldwell champions, but it
was of no avail, they met their Wat
erloo and were defeated by CARROTS
Dudes. The ball game Sunday was
not what would be called a "hot
game" The Caldwell team played
the first three INNINGS like they
had a cinch and that there was no.
thing to it, Some say 1t was just bad
luck that beat them. 1t certainly
was not the umpire. The real truth
is that some of the players were a
little off 1t is generally admitted
that the Dudes had no license to
win the game, but they did. How
, ever, the Champions are still in the
lead and the loss of one game will
only act as a stimulant for them and
when Weiser pays us visit they will
run up against the hardest formation
that they have struck since the
league opened.
The game was devoid of any par
ticularly brilliant plays. there wa.
not even loud kick made at the UNI
pire's decisions, 1t was just nice
clean game of ball. The only thint
possible, that Caldwell has any feel
ings of regret over Is that there ar
a number of boys in our city who
from some obscure reason imagine
| that it is necessary on all occasion
of this kind for them to act like
lot of hoodlums instead of like gen
tlemen.

On the second day of June, one
year ago, new banking institution
was founded in Caldwell, styled the
Western National Bank. This in
stitution was brought into existance
at the instigation of Mr.. s. d. Simp-
son, of Bells, Texas. He convinced
many OF the prominent and substan-
tial men of Caldwell and the sur
rounding country that there was an
opening for another bank in this
city. At that time, even in his fond
est hopes, he did not dream of the
possibilities that awaited him and
the new bank. But with confidence
in the future he determined that he
could well AFFORD TO take chances on
