COMMUNITY BUILDING.

The Graphic:
 Times change and the people must change with them in order to secure tl.e best results not only for them selves, but the community in which they reside The backwoods days have passed and with them the meth ods which were in vogue at that time and which were effective in their day. Tn order to keep up with the procession modern ideas must he adopted and business must be con- ducttd upon a basis that is up with the standard in vogue in all success full communities of the present day The great secret of success at the present time is the adoption of the people to the conditions of the place where they live and making the most of, the opportunities which are at hand, There is nothing gained in waiting for something to turn up, the proper method being for the people to get busy and do the turning them selves if they really want change in the conditions. Great things were done in the days of the fathers, but i if thos same fathers came back tc cath today and tried to achieve re- suts with the methods employed n the early days they would meet witt failure. The trend of the world IS toward progress and the more pro
 gressive the people become the more of figure they cut at home as wei!

The story is authenticated ed that once the Venetian ambassador was seeking the ratification of d treaty Of peace with the sultan's grand viZier. The grand Vizier being a moslem asked the ambassador to swear upon his beard, and upon the beard of the prophet as was the Turk ish custom. The ambassador haughti- ly refused, declaring "Vcneiians wear no beards." Neither do monkeys," replied the grand vizier angrily. Snatching mp the paper he tore the treaty of peace 10 pieces.

Cnba's Sugar Crop.

New York. Nov. 21---F'rom advices recently received it is expected that the sugar crop of Cuba will be double in value what it was worth last year The United States will benefit greatly as many kinds of goods formerly im- ported frob England are now being purchased from this country by the people of the island. Tho outlook for Cuba is good due to the fact that cane sugar consumption must in- crease while beet sugar nations, like Russia and Germany, are at war and unable to harvest large crops. Such conditions will be reflected in an in- crease in the price of Cuban sugar.

Sees Much Of Opportunity Here For Improvement and Win Make Re. port Which Interior Department Will Act Upon.

Mark Daniel a landscape man in charge Of the identification of the government parks ol this nation. is n Hot Springs as an echo of the recent visit here Of Assistant Secretary B3 Sweeney of the interior department
 It is the purpose Of Mir. Daniel to make a thorough survey of the local reservations. and then 10 submit a report to the interior department of what should be done how it should be done. and where it should be done to make Hot Springs reservations more park-like instead of rugged and bar ren as they for the most part haye been for years
 Supt. Dr. William Parks spent most of yesterday with Mr Daniel tskina him over the mountains and loodne over the situation with him. The in clemency of the weather miugatcd agaist the impression Mir Daniel might have received otherwise, but he is an expert in the matter of land scaping and thoroughly capable in his lne.
 Mr. Daniel will not announce while here what his recommendation will be. but it was readily seen that he saw great possibilities in parking and landscaping the Hot Springs reserva- tion and particularly that part Of the reservation on Hot Springs mountain back of bath house TOW, and extend ing back to the steel observatory.
 The visit here of Mir. Sweeney re gently will have much good effect on the future of Hot Springs Mir Swee- ney was thoroughly convinced that Hot Springs as a reservation had not received the attention in the past it should have had. and that there were many things that ouglt to be done here to beautify the resort Of course the improvements made here by the government will all be on permanent reservation property.
