GET ACQUAINTED
 WITH ARKANSAS
Native Sons Urged to Get Out and B0ost--Do Not Let the Newcomer Sing all the Praises of
 Our Great State.
From tne Arkansas rrec Lance.

From the Arkansas Free Lance.
 What do you know about Arkan- sasg
 You, native son, what do you know about the grandest of all common wealths?
 If you are asked to tell the re- sources of a section of the state re- mote from the one in which you live, are asked to tell what character of soil Is to be found in the opposite side of the state from you, and as to whether or not the people in the ad- joining county are Hottentots or just plain cannibals, what answer would you give2
 None of intelligence" would be the answer for nine-tenths of you.
 On the other hand, take the man who moves in from other states. What does he do? He sings the praises of Arkansas from dawn to bedtime, and then retires to dream of the wonders of the greatest of all the states.
 Can't you catch it, some of you? Cant you let a bit Of 1t bite and soak in like the hookwormy The doctors tell us that you can't dodge the new found ticker of the barefoot young ster, yet you manage to sidestep when the great boom started by the incoming boosters sweeps your way,
 Was there ever a state so re- sesalTeeful as ATkansasg
 Some might say the state of in- toxlcatlon IS great, others that the state of social equality is the real thing, but no one would dare say either is resourceful.
 Take the great Northwest Arkan- sas "a portion of the state developed to par with any northern com munity, rich with it's fruit and grain Southwest Arkansas has fruit and minerals. The same for North Ar kansas. The whole eastern section of the state has the richest land te be found in the Mississippi valley Central Arkansas has it's rice fields and the whole state hts it's timber
 Some sections of the state arc be- ing wasted. Cotton is being planted where peanuts or potatoes would b ing much greater returns. Corn is being grown where cotton does bet ter. And so on down the list. Poor crops resulting from this poor judg- ment in crops better adapted to tht soil causes a wrong impression to ], gained in some localities, but change things about and the most skeptica must admit Arkansas is the leader of them all

A French psychologist says women
are growing more beautiful and will
continue to grow more beautiful be-
cause they are interested in so many
more things than formerly. He says
that II the mind keeps alert, active
and interested the body will improve.
This Is a road to beauty that will
appeal to many women more than
does the massage and face cream
route. And with the knowledge we
are gaining of the power of the mind
over the body, there seem to be
sound, scientific reason for the
psychologists statement.
The beauty most women sigh for,
especially when it is gone, is the
beauty Of youth. Analysed, what is
this? Is it not a slim, pretty figure;
a fresh,' unlined face; but most Of
all, high spirits, enthusiasm, q keen
interest in life? And what is there in
all this that woman cannot keep,
or regain. II she will? It all comes
back to her attitude Of mind toward
life.
AS age comes on women are ant
to grow 'indolent. They ride instead
Of walk. They sit around and sew
and sleep. All this soon shows in
the figure. They do not stand erect
and their back gets bowed. Signs of
age? So called, yes. But why? Be-
cause they permit these signs Of age
to be written over them. II they
would walk, tramp, skate. play ten
mis-, If they were forty or more, their
figure would continue slim and pref

the figure youthful, but by keeping
the circulation Of the blood good, and
consequently the appetite keen. It

form of an old fashioned egg rolling.
The class, members of the Mothers
club and visitors assembled at Capt.

The teacher, Miss Selma Bartels Of
LeMars. Iowa, arranged the children
In q large circle and they played
kindergarten games while the many
basketfuls OF beautifully colored Eas-
ter eggs were being hidden around
the grounds. When everything was
ready Miss Bartels told the children
the pretty German legend of the
Easter rabbit. Then the children
were hidden to 60 and search for the
eggs as the dear little German chill
dren did 80 many years ago.
When each child found two they
were arranged at the top Of the hill
and at a signal from their leader
each child started rolling the eggs.
1t was . very delightful afternoon for
the children and one they will not
soon forget.
Miss Bertels is very skilled in the
management of children and the

fortunate to secure such q competent
teacher for their class.
