Wide Publicity Given by Railroad
to Arkansas Resources.


If Arkansas gets the full benefit
of a campaign of advertising which
has Just been launched by the Mis-.
souri, Pacific Iron Mountain for the
purpose of settling the dnocupied
lands and developing the latent re
sources of the state, hundreds,,of in
dustrious settlers and millions OF
working capital should in the near
future be attracted to the State.
This exploitation of the lands and
resources of the state is in the form
of display advertisement in the
large agricultural papers all over

ton of illustrated newspaper and

Now, that all the elections
are over. for a time, lets all turn
our attention to the betterment
of our country. Nearly every
body can do something for the
advancement of the material
prosperity OF the towns and
country. Town people should
see to it that their premises are
cleaned up, beautified and i'm
proved, and farmers should take
more interest in making their
homes attractive and their fields
productive. If one and all
would make an effort to live
right and enjoy life instead of
grumbling and cursing their
luck, it would be better.
