Eis hospitality. He thinks life is too short and earnest and that we are all going to be dead too long not to make the best of the opportunities for scat tering sunshine while time and op. portunity affords.
 Df. Lundberg has made and lost fortunes and has survived it all with 2 smile that makes his face wider than it is long.
 The last fortune this prince of good fellows won was when after medical skill had been baffled for months and he had searched in vain everywhere for health for his wife, he moved from Oklahoma City to Green Forest three years ago with Mrs. Lundberg on a stretcher. He came to the Ozarks on the advice of physicians as a last resort. To his and to her supreme delight, she is again in good health. This is the reason Green Forest is able to claim pr. Lundberg as a citi- zen. He wouldn't leave us now if he could and couldn't if he would-be- cause Mrs. Lundberg would never con- sent to leave the climate that has saved her life, and that settles it for all time, so far as the doctor is con- cerned, withstanding that many at tractive offers have been made him to return to his old, successful field as a horse trainer

It is indeed a source of pride that in this Grand Booster Edition that We can officially announce that negotia- tions have been completed for an cleo tric light system in Green Forest. the chief promoter of this enterprise be- ing Lee II. smith, one of our home .Roys, who will soon pass Up posi- tion as expert machinest with the In ternational Harvester Co.,. to take charge of the installation of the ma chinery and management of the busi- ness.
 The question of lights for Green For. est has been q mooted one for some
 hree wears. Each attempt in that di- rection has heretofore been thWarted because of the possibility of the water power promoters being able 10 wire the juice from either Kings River or he Hranson. Mo-. dams, at a lower price than it could be manufactured locally, but this scare has subsided and the fact that Nr.

Altman Wyatt

We have had much to say in this Big Booster about men who have come to this country and made good and comparatively little about our native sons We would not, however, have you believe that none of our home boys have not had brains enough to read the possibilities of the future of the country and take advantage of the op- portunities that have been offered
 There is Altman Wyatt, one of the commonest of the common "toeheads" in the country fifteen years ago, who didn't have capital enough to buy a Barlow knife. He did have some fore sight, however, and managed to get enough credit to tie onto a piece of land out south of where the Green Forest depot now stands. He kept ad- ding to the place as he could stretch his credit and catch ahead few dol lars. Today he owns one of the most GOV eted farms about town, and two other stock ranches across the noun tain, with plenty of stock, and every thing that prosperous farmer has oc- Casion to handle.
 We don't know what Altman con siders his holdings worth, but it is certain that five figures would have

made it easy for him 70 find both capi tai at his command and encourage ment from the people sufficient to take hold of the proposition in the man ner that does things and talks about hem afterwards,
 Mr. Smith has been a resident of Green Forest for the past sixteen years, having most all the time been employed by the M X N. A. railroad in the capacity of a machinest. For several years he was engineer of the steam shovel, voluntarily retiring a few months ago to go with the l. H.. C. people,
 He has always been a Booster for Green Forest, advocating a future for both the town and country, and withal he is just abOut the most genial good natured good hearted fellow you have ever met
 Green Forest is something more than fortunate in the fact that such an important undertaking as the in stallation and the management of an electric light plan is to be in his hands.
 We understand it is the purpose of his company to begin at once the erection of the plant and that the same will be put in operation as quickly as time iudiciously employed and money can do the work.
 A home man promoting the future development of his home town is worthy of more than passing comment in this Big Booster Edition, designed as it is to advertise our town and country.

One of Green Forests prominent citizens and man who yields no small amount of influence in the finan- cidl affairs of this section is Adolphus DeBarr
 This sage gentleman became a citi. zen of our town in 1906, moving here from 0waneco H., being forced on account of his health to seek change of climate, being afflicted with asth- ma. The fact that he is live man today, he credits to the balmy =Breezes and healthgiving waters of the 0zarkS Having to great extent conquered the disease that had held him a cap tive for years. MT. DeBarr is quite as active man in business affairs as is common for one of his age, which has some time since passed the time al- loted to man.
 Major BeBarF. as The Tribune has been pleased to refer to him, has been man of much activity in his time. having acquired handsome compe- tency by the sweat of his brow A- though he has provided in a generous way for large family of children. he still owns many broad acres of the rich prairie lands of Illinois. and be sides has sufficient revenues available to make some handsome investments here and conducts a farm loan busi- ness. which is the only thing that engages his attention
 When che Bank of Green Forest was recently re-organized in order to increase its capital stock. Alr. De Barr became one of the heavy stock holders of that institution, and is now one of is board of directors.
 During his business dealings and association }Ir DeBarr has thoroughly demonstrated that he is made Up of the true clements of an honest man. While contending for his own, he is equally as careful to see to it that the ether fellow gets his.
 While careful, and employing the tactics necessary to the care of money he knows exactly how he has ac- quired. he is generous and accom- modatng in that he extends every consideration becoming a man whe has no desire to Oppress his fellow man. Out of the hundreds of leans he has made since coming here, he has never pushed single individual which is a great deal more than can usually be said of those who engage ip this line of business.
 The Tribune is proud in this Big Booster Edition to thus kindly make reference 10 man that we have seen tried out, and can accord place in its list of good friends of Green For- est, and a man whose financial and moral standing makes him one of our most valuable citizens.
 It gives us special pleasure to in clude him in the list of citizens who have helped us in the circulation of this review of Green Forest the town of his adopted home, where he enjoys the confidence and respect of every citizen.

raising, stock breeding, poultry rais- ing, soil building, etc.
 He owns a nice little farm adjoining town. where he spends his spare time in the practice of farming along scien- ti6c lines. and has made a success.
 Socially Mir. Cox occupies a con spicU0us position as a leader, having for several years served as the official head of the Carroll County Singers njon, an organization comprising the various choirs of the county, which meets semi-annually in convention for the purpose of contesting for honors in singing. He has also been promin- ent as a leader in the Farmers Union, the destiny of which organization he has tried hard to direct into channels of usefulness.
 As a citizen Mr. Cox ranks in the first class, being courteous and oblig ing in the extreme. liberal with his means and enterprising to the limit.
 It might not be out of place in this connection to state that AIr Cox has been groomed by his friends fer Post master of Green Forest at the termna, tion of the term of the present incum- bent. and The Tribune believes that this mantle could not fall upon mora worthy shoulders, as such could not ta otherwise construed than a promo ton justly earned by faithful and ef- tlcient employe of the postal depart ment

Andy Cox

It would be hard to calculate how much Green Forest owes to Andy Cox for Jhe fact that our town takes the highest rank in the matter of rural route service of any station on the Missouri and North Arkansas line in the 300 miles ft spans across the state He vas the first man to take initia- tive steps to secure Route No. |, upon which he has been the faithful and efficient carrier since September l. 1905.
 In the meantime Mir. Cox has been a man of affairs in the community, hay ing done more along the line of chrys- talizing sentiment in favor of good roads than nearly any other man in the county you could mention.
 He has also been student of the needs of the country in many ways, as related 10 the questions of fruit
The Green Forest tribune., 1913-12-19

Dr. Lundberg is a Kentuckian by birth, schooled as a horseman on the famous race tracks in the celebrated state of fine horses. The only way he escaped being a Kentucky Colonel is because of the becoming manner in which he has worn the title of veterin- arian.
 For some years Dr. Lundberg was the superintendent and head trainer of the Chicaskia Stock Farm at Black we'll Okla, which is the largest enter prise of it's character west of the Mis- sissippi river. The doctor has often referred to his connection with this big institution and his relations with it's proprietor Ed. l.. Beckham as one Of the pleaSanteSt epochs of his life and this kindly feeling must have been fully reciprocated, for We find the fol lowing mention of Dr. Lundberg in the 190S-9 catalogue of that farm:
 The Superintendent and Head Trainer of the Farm is Dr. A. E. Lund- berg, who has handled horses for many years as a speed developer and race driver, and who adds to his other qualifications that of being a Veter- mary Surgeon and Practitioner Dr. Lundherg is recognized as one of the ahlest reinsmen in the West and has always been popular with the public because of his amiable disposition and genial manners and social qualities and gentle, manly bearing. He will handle for speed the stock of the farm that is track developed and will train and race with the farm string a few outside horses giving them equal care and attention with our own"
 It is safe to say that no other man in Carroll county has such a wide knowledge of people and conditions throughout the United States as has Dr. Lundberg. and indeed We doubt if there is a man in the state better informed along these lines, and when he tells us that he believes this coun- try, everything considered, is as good if not the best he has ever seen, we have reasons to believe that We have our mind about right upon the sub ject.
 Since coming to Green Forest Dr. Lundberg has been compelled to direct his energies along new lines largely except HIS NelSIlHdfN DTdcllCe. lie has an enviable record for civic pride, holding the highest credit of any man i'll town for keeping clean and beauti- flying his premises.
 He had hardly acquired citizenship until he was elected one of the Board of Aldermen, and he has filed the position with as much pride and de- voted as much time to it as if the of fee had a comfortable payroll at ach- ment.
 He goes "half-hamling as a leader at every public improvement, giving such things decided preference over business matters, and if any scheme falls down, you can charge no part of the fact that Dr. Lundberg didn't do his best
 It is needless to say that Green For est people are proud of the citizenship of Dr. Lundberg and the doctor is equally as well pleased as we are. He would be qualified that according to the best of his knowledge and be- lief Green Forest is the biggest town of it's size ill the United States.

 Feeling that he had done his full share, af CT thirty years in the timber, Jim has retired and is now dwelling on the north mountain side, overlook ing the peaceful valley in which Green Forest is located, which happy dwell ing place is described in verse by Mrs. Buell., which she has kindly con- ributed to this Booster Edition of The Tribune.
 We are on the mountains high and steep, Away from the face of men. Where the hawk screams and the owl
 hootS.
 And the squirrels hunt their den. Where the bob-white whistles in the
 grass,
 And the rabbits try to gnaw the trees; The cellar is full of apples ripe
 And we know they'll never freeze. Where the hogs grow fat on acorns, And the feed cookers full of Slop. With vegetables and Patent Food Shocking hot and good corn chop. There's grape juice in the cellar.
 All in quart bottles tight, There's iell and jam and good sweet ham, And sausage fried down right. The chickens caekle gaiIy.
 They seem to enjoy this home, Green wheat and rye they eat
 Then off to the hill they roam The Jersey COW is a dandy.
 Her butter'S the best we find And when We want to go d visiting We just tie her on behind. Jim hitehes up our big brown mare To the Webber wagon, Or takes the buggy if he chooses, Or takes his sleI a dragging. For rocks we have plenty,
 In size great and small. And when We want to use them There's not many We have to haul. About our timber it's pretty fine We have walnut, hickory, oak, and
 cherry There are so many different kinds; Like lin, ash, gum and hacberry Our land is rich as it can be
 So it produces fine We'll move the rocks away and then
 raise hay
 And grains in every line. And when we come to harvest.

 Arkansas is the place to come Green Forest is our nearest town, Just two miles away; We can see the town and for miles
 around,
 The broad and fertile farms as they
 lay.
 We have green ferns the winter through, Where the -pawpaws ripen by the =
 score. We can make some maple syrup, For there's a hundred trees or more. We like the pure, -iY~s h air,
 Also the quietud9 And if our friends will visit us,
 They'll sure be treated good We have the finest water,

 It is a most happy thought indeed for the editor of The Tribune, who has for years labored and co-labored, often against overwhelming odds. to record the fact that the citizenship whose eyes are blinded to public needs by the dollar in sight, are growing beauti- fully less and that there is scarcely standing room left for the class of SO called business men who squeeze the dollar until the eagle squalls and then squeezes it fer squalling.
 If we have correctly estimated Dr. Davenport after having given him the test oath and a rigid examination, he is of the class of good fellows that be-

 Altman made his by backing his judgment Instead of saying that such and such a thing he believed would pay, he got busy and bagged the game.
 AIr Wyatt pursues modern methods in farming as well as in his dealing and is one of the squarest young men you ever met, perfectly willing that the other fellow shall have everything that is coming to him.
 Altman Wyatt's success is due solely to the fact that he had nerve enough to back his judgment. There are all kinds of opportunities of the same sort lying around loose yet, waiting for an Altman Wyatt to come along and take
