DUAL OBSERVATORY.

The Royal Observatory of Bel gum, at Gccle, near Brussels, has been divided into two distinct estab- lshmcnts, one devoted 10 astronomy, together with astrophysics, geodesy, gravity and seismoIogy the other to meteorology. along with ehmatology, terrestrial magnetism and atnos- pheric electricity. The former will be known as the Royal Observatory of Belgium, the latter as the Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium. The effect of thls new arrangement is to give the national meteorological service of Belgium an independent status, whereas t was formerly merely an appendage of an astro- nomical observatory.

City Has Healthful Growth.

Little Rock has never had a boom its growth, while wonder tul, has been satisfactory and healthtul, and the prospects for the future are tar brighter than Tn the past, and while the country has gone through periods of de- presSlon, and in many places real estate values have shTunk consid- erably, yet in Little Rock real es- tate values have SeId firm. II IS true that there has been a slow ness ot market, but values have held up.
 Contrast this condition with that of other cities where they have suffered booms. A good healthtul substantial growth with freedom from booming and unusual condi. tions IS much more to be desired by the property owners, investors, and the residents of city. - Arkansas Democrat
 The same IS true of Dermott, only on a smaller scale. Dermott has never had boom, but has had q rapid, steady and substantial growth the result ot our many natural resources and advantages, combined with the efforts of pub Iic-spirited citizens, business men and officials, who have improved every opportunity to make Der mott what she should be. And there Is no reason why this growth and improvement should not con tinue indefinitely Next month marks the close ot the present city administration, during which de clded progress has been made, Measures have been adopted which tend to encourage the investment ot capital, and men ot brains and money have shown their conf dence in the future ot the town. It Is hoped the incoming admins. tratlon will continue to push the town forward, and allow no back ward step 10 be taken.

Pick It Up.

These three words are suggested by the editor ot the Ladies Home Journal Tn the current issue ot that magazine as an appropriate slogan for Americans to adopt The matter of cIvlc neatness, which our local City Beautiful Club has attempted to promote, and which has been viewed wlth more or less dIstaEor by those ln- clined 10 underestimate its i'm portance, IS attracting national at tention, and the stress being lad upon it by cur men, women, mag azines and organizations Of nation al prominence, IS bound sooner o1 later to result in the American public becoming heater and tidier people as regards the ap- pearance of our streets and general out ot-doOrs.
 To speak of the American pub lie seems very indefinite, and much of the sentiment expressed could be cultivated Tn Detmott with advantageous results.
 At the request of the City Beau titul Club, the City Council Is supplying our town district with metal trash cans, and the pub lie is gently requested 10 assist in the effort 10 have the trash de posted m these cans. instead oi being thrown earelessly on the etreets. Not only should We takt pride in keeping our business streets clean, but every individual should feel a responsibility for the untidy appearance of any part ot the out-ot-d doors with which he comes Tn contact and which II would be possible for him to help to ke p clean.
 We quote the following para graph tromthe article in the Ladies Home Journal, and ln reading 1t We should remember that by ex- ample is one of the best ways to teach children.
 We forget that We have a golden opportunity here to teach the first lesson of civic righteousness to our children; the lesson ot CiylC tidlness. And this begins with tht paper We carelessly throw on the street or in the road or out of our automobile, or leave alter us Tn the park. We teach our children 10 be neat about their persons and tidy abont our homes, and vel when We go out into the great out doors we forget the home lessons and allow our children 10 throw things around aud leave debris behind them.
 Then follows the suggestion that We take tor our watch word the slogan of Pick 1t up" and reach those who cannot always teach themselves the civic strength of a .- people mindful of keeping God s beautiful out-ot- doors as beautiful as they find 1t.
