MARY JANE CLUB ENTER
 TANNED.

The Mary Jane Club was de- lightfully entertained by Mrs. Margaret E. StocEman and Mrs. Byron w. Mccormick on Wednesday afternoon. In the contest, which was a short story originated by Mrs. Stocl1man to bring in the different club mem- bers' names, Mrs. Boyce was the fortunate prize winner. Mrs. Simpsons and Mrs. Miller's songs and Mrs. McCormick's vii olin music added pleasure to the occasion. After the music a dainty luncheon was served, i n which the hostesses were assist ed by Mrs. Simpson and Mrs. Miller. The initiation of the new club member, Mrs. s. c. Boyce, created much merriment, and all were loath to leave two such charming hostesses. The club guests were: Mesdames Sam uel Otey, Sallie Wright, H. w. Holmes, k. l.. Draper, c. E. Cas- tleberry, J. L. Simpson and c. R. Beall. Associate members were Mrs. Lida A. Dice and Mrs. Sarah M. Reaves. Mrs. Ju- Han H. Miller will entertain the club on Wednesday, November IT, in honor of Mrs. Margaret E. Stockman.

A mass meeting called to con- sider the question of the annex ation of Pulaski Heights to the city of Little Rock, at the For est Park Church on Monday night, November 1, was attend ed by a large and representative delegation of citizens from ev- cry part of the Heights, some 200 in number.
 Mayor L. H. Bradley presided and Alderman J. B. Webster acted as secretary. Ben D. Briekhouse, alderman from the Eighth ward of Little Rock, pre- sented the proposal of Little Rock to give Pulaski Heights a fire station, 25 street lights and 25 fire hydrants immediately af- ter annexation.
 Attorney Ashley Cockrill pre- sented the legal side of the an- nexation plan, saying that Lit tie Rock could not increase the tax rate and could not tax the property of the annexed portion for the debts of the older part of the city. His conclusion was that no extra burdens could be imposed as a result of annexa- tion.
 H. F. Auten was called upon as one of the largest property owners, and explained that he favored uniting the two cities because it would enable Pulaski Heights to do at once things that it might no be able to do for years to come if separate municipalities are maintained.
 c. s. Stifft, president of the Board of Trade, spoke of the westward course of the city's growth and predicted that all the residential territory about Pulaski Heights would one day be incorporated into a greater Little Rock.
 Rabbi Louis Witt, Louis Alt heimer, Carl Baer, Alderman Powers, Judge John w. Black wood, MT. Smart and MT. Dorm blazer all spoke in favor of the plan. MT. Mirose injected a lit tie humor into the discussion by giving the views of an outsider.
 Alderman Trickett of the Fourth ward, who was under stood to be opposed to the an nexation movement, was called on by Mayor Bradley. He re- piled that the opposition had in tended to make a fight at this meeting, but since the meeting was called by those who favor annexation, he and his followers would take no part, and that

ness or 3O4l,UUU.
 If the citizens of Pulaski Heights care to put themselves under bondage of such indebt- edness to secure a few thousand dollars benefit to small section of our city, why not issue our own city warrants and sell them and thus raise the ready money for whatever permanent im- provements may be deemed nec- essary? It won't cost us near as much in the long run.
 Our little city is out of debt and has money in the treasury. Let us keep it so, or else keep control of our debt-incurring destiny, instead of handing over all this valuable property to an already debt-ridden metropolis.
 ED B. TRICKETT.

their arguments would be with held until Friday night, Novem- Der 5, when another mass meet ing would be held at the Forest Park theater. At this meeting a negro in the woodpile" would be revealed, MT. Trickett said.
 Mayor Charles E. Taylor of Little Rock was called upon and reiterated the statement made by Alderman Brickhouse that the city would give a fire sta- tion, fire hydrants and addition al street lights. He explained that the fire station would have to be established at a point where it could serve parts of the Eighth ward as we'll as Pulaski Heights.
 H. F. Auten moved that the annexation plan be endorsed by a rising vote. Almost everyone in the house arose to their feet. Those who were opposed did not vote. The motion was declared to have passed, and petitions were presented for signatures.

THAT FIRE STATION AND
 WHO TT PROTECTS.
Editor Pulaskian::

LU1GOT I uliSkldus
 In your last issue much en- phasis was laid on the idea of reduced insurance rates within a two-miIe radius of a fire sta tion. The securing of a fire sta tion and thus realizing on the benefits of this reduction is giv- en as the leading reason for an nexation.
 The fact that the only water mains of sufficient size for fire hydrants, together with all of the few hydrants which our city has, are located in the eastern portion of Pulaski Heights, and the further fact that the large majority of our citizens favor ing annexation are residents of this eastern portion, it is easy to see who expect to receive the benefit of reduced insurance rates.
 Now, if this great reduction is of so much importance, and the statement is correct that such reduction is effective within a two-mile radius, we believe the good people of eastern Pulaski Heights are already entitled to it. The fire station at 2515 West Twelfth street is certainly within two miles of a large DOT tion of the district seeking re- duction of fire rates.
 Is there any just or equitable excuse for giving one portion of our city double protection, to the detriment of the remaining portion? It looks very much as though the western half of Wards 2 and 3, and all of Ward 4, are being discriminated against. Not even a chemical truck is offered for the protec- tion of all this vast territory.
 The other prizes offered are equally unavailable and non beneficial to all this section, comprising two-thirds or more in area of Pulaski Heights. Where would be the gain to this section by annexation? Future improvements would be paid for by the people affected, whether they were a part of Little Rock or remained a separate city.
 The assessed valuations of our city are very low in compar- ison to those in Little Rock. The mayor and City Council of our capital city are to be com mended for their efforts to avoid imposing further increase on their already heavily taxed citi- zens. They would much prefer getting hold of this fine resi- dence suburb and raise the val uation of assessments to a par ity with their own. 1t would not only be productive of much needed immediate income, but also be of immense value as ad- ditional collateral security be- hind the issue of city warrants which they will have to sell in the East in the very near future

LETTER FROM PULASKI GIRL AT JONESBORO
 SCHOOL.

Editor The Pulaskian:
 It is only now that find time to redeem my promise of writ ing to you.
 The trip up here was most de- lightful to me. I enjoyed the scenery and met some very nice people while waiting for my train at Hoxie.
 I have been here two weeks long enough to become acquaint- ed with the students and ac- customed to the curriculum.
 I like all my teachers, and am very we'll pleased with every thing in general. Pulaski county is well represented here by some fine boys and girls.
 Misses Belle Peel and Ellen Moore are here from Arch street pike, and Miss Esther Dixon from Sweet Home.
 Messrs. John, Donald and Bill Allsopp from Little Rock are here.
 We had a big Halloween party last night, and surely did have lots of fun.
 There is to be a home coming of old students here November 5, to see the football game be- tween the Ouachita Tigers and the Jonesboro Aggies. This game will decide the State championships The Aggies haven't been scored on this year, so they are hoping to win.
 I receive The Pulaskian regu- larly, and certainly do appreci- ate your kindness in sending it. It is just like a newsy letter from home.
 With the best wishes for suc- cess, I am, sincerely,
 LILLE MAIZE WICKER.
 Jonesboro, Ark.

MORE GOBLIN PARTIES.

MORE GOBLIN PARTIES.
 Pulaski Heights is getting to be some social center, both young and old enjoying numer- ous parties, teas and luncheons. In addition to the parties of a distinctly black cat and yellow pumpkin nature mentioned in last weeks Pulaskian were sev- eral others. Among these was the party by the Misses Brown at their new home beyond the park, and the party by the younger set by Misses Grace Byarlay and Edna Gustavson at the home of the former.
 The Brown home was a verit able den of hobgoblins and un canny cats, and the decorations were unhusked corn and pump inks, some grinning diabolically, others making useful recepta- cles for buttered corn and other good things to eat. Dancing was enjoyed by twenty couples, and the fantastic gorwns worn made a picture worthy of a movies camera.
 None the less elaborate and catty were the decorations at the Byarlay home, where, from the front door, guarded by a wicked witch with a fierce and ratty broom, to the dark red for tune teller's booth, all was spooky and suggestive of dark plots and dangers. Guests were conducted to the parlors through the basement, where creeping lizards and kicking spi- ders gre wfamiliar with blanch- ed faces while ghostly attend ants stood about and laughed at the suffering of their guests. The girls wore orange and black costumes. The refreshments were novel and served in orig inal ways. Games were enjoyed. In a contest of cat skill Miss Mi netta Koch won a black cat box of candy. About forty guests were present.

Today-Cyrus Townsend Brady's Island Of Regeneration" The story is strong one-a somewhat differ cnt angle of the the me already dis cussod. It is a drama, which gives Edith Sorey many chances to dis play her emotional ability.

Her art is able to carry her across many difficult scenes, and her delin.ation of emo- lions is admirable throughout.
 The heroine is portrayed scarcely more ably, however, than is the hero, a role entrusted to Antonio Moreno.

Tomorrow-"The Fighting Hope,' which was originally produced under the direction of David Belasco, is now offered on the screen under the joint management of Mr. Belasco and Jesse l.. L2sky. This famous mod ern American drama is to serve as the vehicle for introducing one of Ann rica's foremost dra atic stars, Laura Hope Crews, in the stellar role of Anna Granger. The two lead ing male roles, in the domestic tri- angle features of the drama, are en- trusted to George Gebhardt and Thomas Meighan. Tom Forman, who has heretofore been associated rather with juvs nile leads, finds himself into detective, and Billy Elmer has role of the same general order. The child is played by Geral Id Ward, who will be remember ed in "The Warrens of Virginia. !" The women in the cast, in addition to Miss Crews, are Florence Smythe and Cleo Ridgley, who is the siren.
