 Miss Nora Mills has returned to her home at ElPaso after a weeks visit at the St. Clair rice farm and 'tis said by some- one that there's a feeling of sad- ness now by more than one.
 Henry Schaefer, h e rice farmer, has the agency for the Cushman Motor. used by all rice farmers on their binders and it is said he will visit all of the rice ranches in the interest of the Cushman.
 Say, MT. ARGUS Editor, steer your auto around in the territory northwest of Brinkley where the most beautiful and productive rice ranches in all America are to be found. We will show you how the rice rancher have diversified their crops. Come just any old time and bring some of those Brinkley mer- chants and business men with you.
 (Your invitation is accepted and 1 am just going to do what you said. There are many Brinkley people who do not realize just how wonderful and attractive the rice country to the northeast of Brinkley is and Pm promising that before rice harvesting is over, that bunch of Brinkley men will surprise you in a big auto procession and visit. -Ed.)

TOWN PLANNING AN OLD ART
Ancients Well Understood the Va'"s of Making Their Cities as Beau
 tlfuI as Possible.

Town planning Is not modern art. The ancients appreciated the value Q. q civic center; the Roman forum anu acropoiis at Athens are examples or <his. Coming down to medieval times we have the Piazza della Signoria at Florence and the Piazza of St. Marks at Venice. public squares beautinea at the public expense, from wnlcn many . mighty dictum for veal or woe went forth. Paris owes great debt of gratitude to Baron Hauss- mann. whose ingenious city planning has produced one of the finest cities in the world. The French capital mas probably more expatriated Americans an residence than any other European city for a beautiful city will always attract people. Although the French respond quickly to an authentic ap- peal, their native thrift is never iost sight of. They know that Deautliui city is sure to bring commercial pros ,perity and they have learned well the art of making beauty the handmaid or utility. Let us then follow tho ex- ample set us and begin to teach our young people that there IS no antag. onism between beauty and utility ana that civic pride is only local patriot ism. With . city plan developed un der competent leadership and town planning board invested with proper authority, the nasty building Of the present moment will be obviated' ana city will be developed that future generations can pronounce a thing ol beauty and joy forever.

FARMERS, LAND OM-
 FRS AND MERCHANTS
Biz Mass Meeting to be in Brinkley on Tuesday,
 June 18th.

A call for a meeting of the farmers, land owners and mer- chants of Monroe and adjoining counties to be held in Brinkley Tuesday, June 29th. has been made.
 The meeting will be in the assembly hall of the Rusher Hotel beginning at II o'clock.
 The purpose of the meeting IS to devise ways and means for es tablishing cash markets for sur plus products of the farm.
 The real business life of this section is at stake and there MUST be some organized action and plan to meet these condl- tions. The meeting is just the thing if all men lend then talent and energy to making 1t 2 success.

Our Speech.

Our very vocabulary is degraded; the most far-reaching symbols of our language come seldom into use, or appear with diminished meaning Fol- low, for instance, the course of the word infinite through the antics of contemporary literature. Our phrase ology has become carnal; our vital terms are terms of physical life. No- where Is the limitation of contempo- rary thought more apparent than in the instruments of speech. One must read again Wordsworth, Shelley, Car lyle, Ruskin. Arnold, Meredith to meet great words now little employed, words that make you realize the ut- most reach of life; in so doing, one pauses in dismay, realizing how full contemporary speech is of lesser terms, how few employ the greater words that tell the inner life of the soul.-The Atlantic.

SCHOOL GARDENS AT CAPITAL
Washineton's Plans Have Been Fully Perfected, and Good Results Are
 Confidently Anticipated.

The first home garden club to be organized in the public schools of Washington was formed a short time ago.
 The object of the club is to stimu- late interest in vegetable and flower gardens in the homes as well as on the school grounds. Several gardens have been made on school grounds by the students under the direction of teachers. It is the plan of the teach CTS ct the Brookland school and parents of children attending school, to arrange a course of lectures for be- ginners in gardening, and to visit the gardens of the children in their homes regularly in order to see that the work is carried out according to the in structions of the teachers. A garden show" will be given next fall. It will consist of exhibitions of products from the gardens. In addition. com mittee will report on the gardens in the homes and prizes will be awarded for the work done.

Proud City of Smyrna.

Smyrna can lay claim to a lofder lineage than perhaps any other city on the earth. It is her proud boast that from the earliest dawn of history down to the present bombardment her continuity of name and fame Is ,ln- broken. It is in this spirit that che claims Homer for citizen. His river, the Meles. which gave him name. runs near the city; and the cave is still shown where he wrote his poems Smyrna has not been slack in appro- priating Homer, endowing him even with local temple. The saddest chap ters in the history of the city are those which record earthquakes and massacres of Greeks by Turks.

Just About Town

Pm with the ARGUS in it's contending that now is the time for the merchants, land owners and farmers to get together and plan a way whereby there will be a cash market in Brinkley for anything that is raised on the farm. One of my neighbors brought in irish potatoes last week and had to haul 4 bushels of them back home because he couldn't find any one who would buy them. So it is often with others who bring products to Brinkley and cant find purchas- CTS. This is demoralizing to the farmers. Pm glad that the marketing meeting has been called for the 29th. 7" So spoke U. G. Hallum one of our clever farmer friends South West of Brinkley.

importance of Good Chimney.

An examination of fire statistics would show that defective fiues are the cause of . great majority of the fires that occur in dwellings. It is an old saying among architects that money put into thoroughly good chimney is never wasted. So fax as safety from fire is concerned, the chimney is the most important struc- tural feature of a building. But all most countless fires have shown that careless workmanship, and in some cases bad design, in chimney construc- tion prevail to an alarming extent.

A St. Louis physician has discovered that the common electric soldering iron can be used successfully for eau. :erizing in surgical work. Electric cauteries have been made for surgical use, but they proved expensive and unreliable. However. the electric sol dering iron of good quality happens to have just the temperature that is SO desirable for cautery work. It de. stroys tissue. turning it into a white, cooked mass with hardly any charring and no hemorrhage, yet its continuous unvarying heat makes 1t work rapidly.

Fishes Which Carry LIghts.

Flshes Which Carry Lt9nts.
 Certainly among the most remark. able of fishes are those which are pro. vided with lanterns of their own and which swim around the dark recesses of the bottom of the deep ocean where no ray of natural light from above can penetrate. A model of one of these fish, notable for their phosphorescent organs, is on exhibition in the United States National museum. The sides of the fish are regularly dotted with luminous spots. while. in addition, there is large luminous area, like lantern, on the top of the head. This extraordinary creature must present a singular appearance when swimming in the dark abysses of the ocean. In the model the luminous spots on the sides are represented by buttons of glass, connected with the interior by tubes.
