 BOOSTER EDITION
THE TRIBUNE PLANNING TO IS- SUE A SPECIAL EDITION THAT
 WILL BE A HUMMER.
TIME TO PROMOTE IMMIGRATION
Big Undertaking to Be Managed by M. B. Russell, a Past Master
 in the Art of Boosting.

The Tribune now has plans well under way for the publication of a grand, illustrated booster edition of the paper which will be issued at an early date.
 The past season has been a fairly productive one for this country, while crops of every kind in many states have been literally destroyed by droughts, making this the most oppor- tune time for the promotion of inn grafton to this section that has existed in many years, if indeed such auspi cious conditions have ever before con fronted us.
 The immigration department of the Missouri and North Arkansas railroad is now besieged with inquiries for in- formation as to the inducements offered for home-seekers and investors along the line, and General Manager E. M. Wise has personally assured us that he will lend us the aid that we need for the distribution of this big edition, as soon as it is off the press.
 Besides this means of sending out copies, The Tribune proposes to supply a copy to every home in the county and many hundreds of these papers will be mailed to people interested in other sections.
 The Tribune believes that this country is best re represented and it's resources will be more emphatically impressed by telling the people in other states what we have already done and of the char acter of people, businesses and civiliza- tion we have here.
 We believe that such d portrayal of our industries will more effectively combat the sentiment that is .eeld against Arkansas in many countries than any other argument that could be used.
 We want to show people that while great opportunities exist here tor ln- vestments in cheap lands, etc., that people may come here and be surrounded by conditions that have not the least resemblance of frontier or backwoods living.
 In conjunction with the booster feature, we will portray conditions of pioneer days, having number of rem iniscent articles contributed, and present a number of old-time views, making the paper an appreciated souvenir.
 It is our purpose to make this paper a pictorial review, believing that en- cravings are necessary in'every instance to drive home the arguments that we will endeavor to make in describing conditions. Not only will the town be shown up in this way to the best ad- vantage, but the country surrounding will be given special attention.
 Still another feature little off the usual booster line will be "A Voice from Absent Old Tlmers," who will come in for hearing and compari- son of this section with those in which they have cast theirlots. We are always willing to risk our chances for boost from any one who lived in this country long enough to find out it's advantages.
 In the preparation of this big edition we will have the expert services of M. B. Russell, who has worked for several years in the special edition business with marked success. In put ting on this proposition with The Trib- une, he is doing so at personal sacri- flee, in order to promote big boost for his old home town. Naturally, he feels that he must make crowning effort on the paper where he learned his a b c's in the newspaper business. It would be needless to assure people who know M. B. that this booster edition of The Tribune will be a hum- mer with big H. Suffice to say, that no town of the size of Green Forest has ever put out anything that will com pare with it in the state of Arkansas, at least.
 Only live wires will be approached to help with this gigantic undertaking. There will be no consideration given to people who are. not in the habit of doing things.
 We have set our mark away up on this edition and are going to hew to it regardless of expense. We want your cooperation.
