growth OF the firm it was necessary to
divide the responsibilities of its man
agement with the result that at this
time the two sons. Charles w. and

WATER COMPANIES OFFICIALS S
 HERE.

Accompanied by Superintendent C.. M. Gadsby, a party of prominent off. cials of the Arkansaw Water Com. pany, including A. M. Lynn, president. and George w. Biggs Jr., chief engi- neer, both of New York, last week made an inspection trip over Pulaski Heights, looking especially into the situation in the vicinity of Forest Park, where improvements are con. templated with the view of increasing the water pressure in that vicinity.
 The visiting officers were favorably impressed with the suggestions made by the local management and Super intendent Gadsby says that the work originally planned will be carried out. This includes the building of a stand pipe in the Forest Park district.
 With the auxiliary supply of water, made available by the new wells on the Auten farm, it is not believed that there will be any summer shortage iii the supply of water as has been the case in past years.

WHEN CHILDREN PLAY WAR.

The big can hunt was on in Forest Park last Saturday and the leader ex- plained to the boys and girls that to make the cleanup thorough a piece of woodland just ahead would be ir- vaded by stretching out the line so there would be a boy or girl every few feet, and that under this system no struggling can would be overlooked
 That's the way they are fighting over in Europe" it was explained, lines of men, hundreds of miles long are sweeping across the fighting na- tions, taking everything in front of them"
 Quickly grasping the idea, the little fenows sped away, one exclaiming:
 ''I see an Englishman!" Another,
 "I see Germani"
 And so the column fought it's way through the imaginary Black Forest" emerging finally into the open with heavy loaded sacks into which were packed pseudo prisoners from every hostile nation in Europe.
 Not tin can escaped.

THAT BIG FURNITURE HOUSE
 AND ITS BIG AD.

Jackson & Strawn on Main street in Little Rock are names that stand for all that is new and up-to- equipment. In Pulaski Heights Jack son and Strawn are names that figure prominently in civic and social af- fairs. Both members of the big fur aiture establishment are citizens of Pulaski Heights
 For this reason many of The Pu- laskian's readers will take a special interest in the page advertisement which appeared in our last number. Va rious surprisingly attractive bargains are offered and, as the spring house cleaning season is here, the lady of the home will likely find something that she needs in this remarkable list of closely priced articles.
 Whether you pay visit to the store or call up one of the members of the firm over the telephone to place your crder or inquire about something that may be- needed, you can depend upon the same friendly treatment that you would expect if you met Neighbor Jackson on Cedar street or Neighbor Strawn on Ash They are home folks and will treat you like friends.
 The Pulaskian is especially proud of the Jackson & Strawn advertisement, because 1t Is the first of many full page ads that it expects to publish. for this enterprising and prosperous firm, and we hope that the patronage from Pulaski Heights, resulting from this publicity, will confirm the promise made that it pays to advertise in The Pulaskian.

ELEcTRlc SHOP IS OPENED.

Electricity has come to play prom inent part in the home, not only as a means of furnishing light and power, but for the ornamentation of the household and the saving of labor to the mistress of the home and her help. On this account every lady in Pulaski Heights will be interested in the Elec- tric Shop, opened to the public by the Little Rock Railway and Electric Com pany on Thursday, at AT Main street, opposite Hamilton's.
 The handsome furnishings and unique arrangement of the Electric Shop will be a surprise and joy to thoughtfulness of General Manager c. J.

PETITION LAID BEFORE LITTLE
 ROCK SCHOOL BOARD.

Claims of the Forest Park district for larger school building and better school facilities were strongly set Little Rock School Board by commit tee of citizens on last Saturday night. The petition, as published below, was listened to attentively, as were the remarks by members of the delega- tion, and the matter was referred to, a committee, which it is hoped will make an early investigation and re- port favorably on the suggestions made. The text of the citizens peti- tion was as follows:
 Gentlemen:
 The citizens and school patrons of the Fourth Ward of the City of Pu- laski Heights and adjacent territory within the Little Rock School District, respectfully petition your Board for increased and suitable school faeili- ties.
 The frame portable buildings pur. chased by your Board and used for the establishment of the Forest Park School were put in two years ago as an emergency expedient only. We appreciate very much the prompt ac- tion of your Board at that time. We feel, however, that you will agree with us in the opinion that we have out grown this temporary arrangement. to say nothing of the uncomfortable feat ures of thin wooden structure during the winter months for small children.
 These temporary buildings were de- signed to accommodate fifty scholars. The enrolment has now reached 99, and your Board is aware that not only are some of the fourth grade pu- pils assigned to the Pulaski Heights School for lack of accommodations, but that many of the small ones are allowed only one-half days attendance on account of the crowded condition.
 We respectfully petition and urge prompt action for the erection of a permanent building for the Forest Park School, with rooms and facili- ties for a full eight grade grammar school This will permit our children attending a school in their own dis trict without being compelled to travel from three to eight miles, often caus- ing delay, inconvenience and exposure during the winter months.
 Your records will also show se- rious overcrowding now existing in the Pulaski Heights School The building and establishing of an eight grade grammar school at Forest Park will remedy this condition.
 We all realize that Pulaski Heights, and especially the Forest Park DOT

H. F. Auten made an interesting talk to the Young Peoples Club at the For est Park Methodist Church on Sunday
 afternoon. He said that more was ex- pected of the church members than to sit in pew with a long face and
 folded hands. The Lord wanted boys and girls who would do things. He told of the active, useful life of the Apostle Paul, and compared his ca reer with the uneventful lives of some
 of the other disciples whose names are not even remembered. MT Au- ten gave an interesting account of his especially explaining the many places visited by Paul-Damascus and Rome.

tion, has grown faster than anticipated by the most optimistic. The district manager of the Southwestern Tele- phone Company is authority for the statement that Pulaski Heights has ac- quired a growth in two years that ex- perience shows (from tables gathered from suburban towns throughout the eountry) ordinarily takes seven years to accomplish. Public corporations like street car companies and telephone companies keep accurate records of the population increase of cities and their suburbs, tabulating in proper form, enabling them to plan their ex- tensions several years in advance. growth of Pulaski Heights, for, as just remarked, we have i'll two years made seven year growth.
 Possibly the records of your own Board will show conditions and facts in keeping with the statement of the Telephone Company. There is no question whatever but that the growth of the next two years will equal, if not far exceed the growth of the pre- ceding years. Your Board can readily see what this will mean in the school proposition.
 Under present conditions, when school opens next Fall, the accommo dations will be absolutely inadequate. For this reason prompt action is in,- perative. The records show that no call looking to the betterment and ad- vancement of educational interests has ever been made in vain to the Lit tie Rock School Board; in fact, they have almost invariably anticipated the needs. We feel confident therefore. that the wisdom and good judgment of this Board will insure speedy action looking to the erection of a commo- dious eight grade school for Forest Park
