PAVING STARTED

Work Begins in New I'm. provement District State Street Work Is Resumed.

The work of paving Pine stree., from Fourth avenue to Tenth avenue, and of Tenth avenue from Pine street to Main, has been started, and is to be pushed forward as rapidly as is the weather conditions will allow
 Work of paving State street, which had been interrupted the past week or so because of the indictment weather, was resumed yesterday. and this also is to be rushed to compile tion The Kaw Construction company ot Topeka, Kansas, has both contracts, and has organized it's forces to such purpose that the work on Pine street will be carried on while the State street paving is being completed. A large force of workmen is being em- ployed by the company, and vast quantities of material, nearly all ol which is purchased in this city o' 1 through local agents for manufac- i turers, are being purchased by the company.
 In State street. the concrete foun' dation has been laid to a point al 1 most OpnOSltc lWGlItu dNCAuC' Al

Y. M. P. |. FUTURE
 IS ENDANGERED Lethargy of Young Men Of City Makes Reorganiza-
 tion Improbable.

Unless there is more favorable ac- tion by the rank and file of members and former members of the organlza- tion, as to the desire of the officers to know the intentions of the members as to the future, there will be no re- organization of the Young Men's Pro- gressive Business league.
 This fact has been becoming more and more plain the past day or two, because of the apparent loss of in terest in the organization by the big majority of the old members, few of whom are giving any satisfaction to the committees. which are making canvass to detegmine the wishes Of the members ,as to ganization and continuance of work.
 None of the officers or active mem- bers of the organization is willing to make any forecast of the future, but the impression is clear with all of them that the great majority of the members have little or no desire to perpetuate the Progressive league or it's works A score or more members of the organization have continued to the end, devoting their time and la- l bcrs to the good of Pine Bluff, but ev- en these have evidently lost heart, as result of the failure of the canvass i ing committee to stir up interest among the 300 or more young men who formerly were aligned with the league.
 That the Progressive league has ac- complished much good during it's ex- istence is admitted by all former mem bers, as we'll as by the business men and citizens generally of Pine Bluff and several accomplishments in par ticular will remain as reminders o1 the league. Because of it's past per- lformances, it has been hoped by the ."faithful few" that the organization
 might be continued with renewed in lterest and activity, and strenuous eff
 forts have been made to that end, bu apparently without avail.
 A meeting of the faithful few is
 expected to be. held within the next two or three days, to finally decide
 what is to be done and it is expected the requiem of the league will be Isounded on that occasion. Only one
 thing can prevent-and that is, the
 decision of the former members tc
 again show interest and renew mem bership in the organization.

suit modern times and that the well
fare Of the people must not be depend

northern Slavs includes 10000 600
Poles and 5000, 900 Czechs. Numeri-

Of the uUliberated Slav peoples. Boz
hernia and her sister country Moravla
are under Austrian rule, while Poland
has been dismembered and partitloned
between Russia. Germany and Aus
tria. At one time both countries were
great and ho%urishing and played a
prominent part in history. In 1926
the C2cchs acknowledged the Haas
burgs as their ruler, and Rohemia's
political decay and gradual loss of IN
dependence date both from this point.
The first partition of Poland in l7i2
deprived the republic of liberty, Her
Acknowledgement was finally completed
and scaled by the third partition in
1885. and henceforth the Poles were
even deprived Of the possibility of co.
operating as "A nation.
The Czechs and Poles have both
passed through a national tragedy,
but OF the two the Polish tragedy
makes a stronger appeal to the imagi-
nation, because of the contrast be-
tween their former greatness and
their present position, the high level
OF their culture, and the lofty princi-
pies at stake in the Great Polish Revo-
luton. The Poles fell victims to the
