SPECIAL TRAIN TOURS STATE FOR TWO DAYS VISITING
 MANY TOWNS.
AFTER THE ARKANSAS TRADE
sources of Towns Visited a Surprise to Merchants.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock.-Laden with fruit and souvenirs and having better knowl edge of many towns and their re- sources the Little Rock Board of Trade excursion train returned to Little Rock after two-days trip to the west ern border of Arkansas. The train left Little Rock over the Fort Smith division of the Iron Mountain and the entire day was spent in the towns and cities located on that road. The return trip was made by way of the Rock Island railroad.
 Practically every important business house in Little Rock was represented on the train. Mayor Taylor and Gov.- Elect Hays were also members of the party although Judge Hays had to leave the train at Fort Smith.
 Everywhere the train stopped it was met by large delegations and every courtesy shown the visitors.
 Wherever the boosters stopped they emphasized the fact that Arkansas people should trade in Little Rock and Arkansas, and thereby help the state to grow by keeping the money at home.
 The fact was pointed out that it was / just as cheap to buy in Little Rock as it was to go to the northern or east ern marts for the same goods.
 The trip was an educational one to the Little Rock men as many had never before relized the size and pro- eressiveness of the towns through which the train passed.
 During the entire trip the train was passing in fruit belt and at nearly every stop the boosters were present ed with the country's best product.
 Every merchant who made the trip expressed pleasure and qualification at the demonstrations made by the peo- n ple visited. There was everywhere such feeling of hospitality that they are arranging to make another trip ot the same kind in the near future. While the trip was principally scout ing expedition, there was much busi- ness done upon it.

 After discussing in detail some of the Capt. Raymond closes by saying:
 The battalion parade was very creditable and exhibited a commend able spirit of pride in and loyalty to the university. Coming at the close of long and fatiguing series of drills weather quite warm, and the obvious desire of the battalion as a whole to make the best possible showing to the very last moment of the test should encourage the college authorities and the military instructor in the continu- ance of policy and of methods under which such marked improvement is obtained as that which appears in the military department of the University of Arkansas. The drill hall, dormitory, ness hall, bakery and laundry were all inspected and found in good condi- tion."

THE AGED CHRIS
TAN MOTHER

To us II Is beautiful sight to see
an aged Christian mother basking in
the sunset of a life that has been
nobly lived. We visit her at her
home. There she sits--the old Chris
tlan mother---ripe for heaven. Her
eyesight is almost gone; but the
splendors of the Celestial City kindle
up her vision. The gay light of heay =
ems morn has struck through the
gray locks which are folded back over
the wrinkled temples. She stoops
very much now under the burden oil
care she used to carry for her chill
dren. She sits at home today, too
old to find her way to the house
God; but while she sits there, all the
nast comes back to her and the chill
dren that forty years ago trooped
around, her arm chair with their lit
tie griefs and joys and sorrows
those children are all gone now.
Some caught up into better realm,
where they shall never die, and 9TH
ers out in the broad world, attesting
the excellency OF Christian mother
doctrine. Her last days are full OF
peace, and calmer and sweeter will
her spirit become until the gates OF
life shall lift and let the worn out pill
grim into eternal spring-tide and
youth, where the limbs never ache
and the eyes never grow dim, and the
star of I he exhausted and decrepit
pilgrim shall become the palm OF the
immortal athlete.
Cultivate habit Of being interested
In noble and beautiful things. Ideals,
aspirations, longings for the high and
glorious things Of life are the normal
feeling OF youth. Let us carry them
with us through life and they will
help to keep us young. Put away dis
agreeable things, put them out
YOUR mind and life as soon as posi-
ble. If'you lose the illusions OF youth
replace them with the truths of life
which you will find as beautiful and
more Inspiring. Keep envy and NAL
ice out Of your heart. Refuse to be
gloomy, disconnected and morbid. Be
cheerful and insist upon 1t in others,
or rather, 1t will be unnecessary to
insist Nupon 1t. Nothing Is so conta-
glous as cheerfulness and hopeful
ness. One cheerful woman can leaven
a whole household Those about us
reflect to a degree our attitude toward
them II we believe in our children
and friends we will find them becom-
ne more worthy of our faith.

Sergeant John Walsh Of Troop
B. of the famous Bird U. s. Cav
airy, came through Liberal Thurs
day morning. He got into town
about 500 o'clock in the morning
after having walked all night,
but he seemed as fresh as a daisy.
He is slxty-three years Of age.
The walk that he is making is
from Preside, California, to New
Rochelle, N. Y. He has been on
the road sixty days. and he has
until April last to finish the walk.
The object Of this big hike is for
the purpose of testing the wearing
quality of U, S. Army clothing
and especially shoes. Mr.. Walsh,
Of course, looks a little shabby,
but the suit he started out With
is good still, although it hasn't the
we'll groomed appearance of most
military uniforms. He is now
wearing the third pair of shoes.
He can recite many strange and
interesting tales of his travel.

INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS

The National Civic Federation, al
its annual meeting January 1929, IL
giving much attention to the proven
ton OF industrial accidents and COM
pensatiop therefor.
With 10000 fatal Industrial acct
dents in, this country in a year, and
some 900, 900 more or less serious In
juries, are not safety appliances
cheaper than ether, surgery, hospi-
tails, and the loss of earning power.
A nd some preventive measures are
so simple. One factory found that
four men in nine months had each
lost an eye, by the flying up Of the
nails with which packing cases were
being closed. BY buying hammers
with corrugated heads, the eyes OF
Its shippers were saved.
Another factory reduced accidents
by posting notices in Its works, show
ing that during the previous month
20 OF It's employees had been hurt by
steppingon nails, with resultant cases
of lockjaw, and warning Its help TO
be careful
Behind all the polished exterior Of
our gllttering civilization, what tale
OF sorrow and want lies hidden. For
every floor of the great sky scrapers
that constitute New York's Alpine
sky line, a human life has been
snuffed out.
The American workman Is admit
tedly careless. In any railroad yard
you can see brakeman jump on the
running board OF the tender to save a
five minutes walk. Some day when
his attention is asleep, he jumps
wrong, and limps on crutches the
rest OF his life. No laws and no
saftey appliances can cure the fool
of his folly.
The Civic Federation Is trying for
better workmen's compensation laws.
OF $23,S23,5S5 paid into 10 large
accident insurance companies In
three years, only $S,599,795 went to
the victims. The rest went to legal
expenses, cost OF conducting COM
panies, dividends, commissions on
policies, etc. II the injured men
could get the money instead Of law
yers and clerks and agents. the acci-
dent benefit could be multiplied by
two or three.
