"ELEYATlNG A HUSBAND"

Theatrical folks have always been accepted as the most superstitious body in the world. but Louis Mann who comes here to the Elks Theatre on Wednesday evening, March 26th for a single performance in "Elevat- ing a Husband" in course of con- versation, has brought several in stances of acute superstition to light which would seem to prove that there are equally violent cases among the people in other walks of life.

TELLS SOME TRUTHS
 ABOUT ARkANSTS

With the constantly increasing in- terest in Arkansas and the conse quent demand for reliable informa- tion regarding the states resources and opportunities offered the home seeker and investor, the Missouri Pa cific-lron Mountain has prepared, at considerable expense. a series of six profusely illustrated folders, on as many sections of the state, which present plain facts and deal with conditions as they really exist. We are just in receipt of sample set of these folders sent to us by F. E. Schroeder Assistant General Pas senger Agent. at Little Rock.
 These folders cover six geographi :. cal divisions of the state as follows: Central Arkansas, Northeastern Ark ansas, Southeastern Arkansas, South western Arkansas. The White River County, The Arkansas Valley.
 They are put out in neat, attrac- tive cover that in itself is an invita- tion to visit this rapidly growing commonwealth. The text of the sev- eral booklets was prepared, after an exhaustive investigation, by John c. Small, Editor of the Arkansas Home stead, of Little Rock, man who is thoroughly informed regarding the re- sources of the state, and the subject matter has been so subdivided as to condense into convenient and read able form, a comprehensive and auth entic description of each of the prin- cipal sections of the state.
 It will probably be a surprise, even to Arkansans, to know that within the past 10 years more than 100000 people have moved into this state 10000 new citizens every year brought in by the railroads and of this vast number of new settlers the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain Lines have furnished the major por- tion.
 Estimating that each of these 2O0,- 900 new corners spends an average of S100 annually the merchants bank accounts in the state are increased by twenty million dollars a year, and this is due very largely to the effec- tive work and extensive advertising of the railroads. This helps us to better understand and appreciate what the railroads are doing for our state
 There are 30 million acres of va cant land in Arkansas awaiting the coming of new settledrs to adapt it to farming and stock raising. Every Arkansan is interested in the devel- opments of this favorite state and will be glad of an opportunity to help in giving publicity to it's resources.
 If you have friend or an acquain- tance anywhere in the North or East who ought to live in Arkansas. send his name and address to the Missouri Pacificlron Mountain Immigration Department at St. Louis or to Mr. Schoeder, and one of these folders covering your particular section of the state will immediately be sent to him.

Probably no gathering on the North
Side Tract will be remembered longer by
those in attendance than that assembled
at the beautiful country home of Mr..
and Mrs. F. A. Cakes, who in conjun-
ton with Aunt Abbie and Uncle John
Bruner did the entertaining. There was
no scarcity OF ditch water and the way in
which Mr.. +. \. Cakes passed IT around
assured those gathered together OF the
unlimited quantity. Along about high
twelve the guests, numbering over forty,
were seated at long table prepared Tor
the occasion, and after a short talk 10y
Mr.. Frazer, assuring those present that
the large families OF children OF both MIR.
| Cakes and Mr.. Bruner had been sent
away for the day, and those present were
legally adopted for this special occasion,
the par,aking OF the bountiful supply OF
refreshments was then begun.
The tables were loaded with everything
that could be asked for, and the manner
in which it disappeared showed plainly
that it was to the liking OF those gathered
at the festive board. After lunch wa
over. which occupied several hours time
all kinds Of sport were enjoyed including
foot racing. dancing, jumping, bronctc
busting and tight wire walking by one o
the guests.
Several regrets were received iron
those who were unable to attend, bu
they can be assured that they missed
right royal treat. Late in the Afternoon
the guests began to depart, leaving be
hind them only the best wishes for thei
royal entertainers.
