Ne left the little town because he thought
He needed horizon that was wider;
We fancied he had talent and he sought
The city as suitable provider
OF opportunities such as he dared
To think were all he needed to win glory:
The little town, he solemnly declared.
Was such an old and oft-repeated story.
He sought the city with its rush and
roar,
And with its glare and glitter and Its
splendor;
lie thought about the little town no
more.
Forgot the friendships that had been SO
tender;
He found his opportunity inside
A cage where day by day he labored
grimly.
Where sweet. fresh air and sunlight were
denied.
Where hope doomed up sometimes-but
very dimly.
His home consisted Of four little rooms.
Within building that was far from
peerless,
They were as dark as are Egyptian tombs,
And just about as stuffy and as cheer
less;
Day after day he went the same small
round,
Nor ever found new scenes to rest his
eyes on,
But. sadly pinched. he fancied he had
found,
Though high walls shut him in, broad
horizon.

The word bungalow" is an Anglo
Indian term, meaning in India
species of rural villa, house of light
construction, usually of unbaked brick
with a matched roof. The bungalows
which are the residences of Euro
peans in India are of all styles and
sizes, according to the taste and
wealth of the owner. In its earlier
use by white men, the word "bunga-
low" was taken to denote a lightly
constructed habitation. not exceeding
one story in height, and presumably
designed for temporary occupation.
But during the past few years bunga-
lows have been built in both the Uni
ted States and Canada as all-year
residences, and are constructed with
every regard for permanency.
They are built with heavier stud
ding and bracing than the bungalows
in California, and are sheathed solid
outside and covered with heavy build
ing paper and siding shingles. Many
of them are provided with open fire.
places, although the old-time signifi-
canoe of the word contemplated an
upholstered building with no facilities
for heating, since it was designed,
presumably, for summer occupancy or
tropical habitation.
In America, the bungalow idea first
toCS root in Southern California,
where the mild and even climate is
particularly well adapted to this type
of house in its elementary forms.

sive development, although other sec
tions of the United States are now
crSwding the favorite regions of the
Pacific coast in this respect
1t may be said, in all frankness,
that any prospective home builder
will do well to study carefully the ad-
vantages of the bungalow for his
home which he is to build the coming
spring. For those desiring small
and inexpensive house, particularly.
the bungalow offers great advantages.
The original ideas of arrangement,
as well as the unique ornamental
schemes that are characteristic Of
bungalow work, make it possible to
design and build home-like. cosy
house of individual appearance for
the same cost as the plain. everyday
cottage.

 sidering the Torrid Weather.

Barring the effects of the intensely hot weather, it may be said that the twenty-seeond annual reunion of John c. Fletcher Camp No. 638, U. c. V's. held here the last three days of last week was an unusaI success,
 The feeling was freely expressed by the camp members and visitors generally that they saw nothing reason able that had been left undone by our people to make the occason. a success ful and happy event.
 During the three days, a number of speeches were made by prominent people, including Judge J. N. Tillman of Fayettville, Hon. c. A. Fuller of Eureka Springs, Col. c. D. James of Eureka Springs, Col. J. P. Fancher of BerrYville and others.
 The welcome address by Mayor A. L. Kinney delivered on Friday was one of the greatest speeches of the occasion.
 The musical program was well carried out, Mrs. Kinney showing that she is no only musician and teacher but an organizer as well. The chorouses she had drilled for the occasion all acquit- ted themselves handsomely The band also reflected exceptional credit upon itself for it's promptness and splendid music.
 The parade Friday in which number of the buggies had been decorated was very handsome feature, rejecting special credit upon the ladies, who had taken so meuh pains to make the parade a success, the following ladies participating in this feature, Mesdames r. R. Morrow, W. L. Sneed, J. B. Reeves, Hewitt Jennings and H. P. Burney and Misses Margie Hittson, Fannie Nunnally, Mary Burney and Gladys Sisco.
 The float conveying the uninformed chorous of young ladies lent a special attraction to the parade.
 According to information gathered at this meeting fifteen members Of the camp have died since the last annual meeting in August, 1912, as follows: Thomas H. Afford, J. N. Brumfeld, David Bell, N. B. Burlls, N C. Charles, John Conner, c. C. Clancy, Richard A. Martin. J. c. McNemar, c. N. Rey- holds, Angus Ross, A. c. Rude, James Shipman, Thomas Sisco, A. H. Wilson.
 At the close of the meeting the fol- lowing resolutions were adopted:
 Resolved, That the members of this camp with grateful hearts, individually and as a camp, thank the citizens of Green Forest for their continued kind ness and hospitality during this our tWsnty-second annual reunion and en- campment.
 Resolved That we do especially thank Mrs. A. L. Kinney and all the ladies who co-operated with hex, for the most excellent musical program, and the thoughtful, prompt manage ment and the execution Of the same.
