WATER DISTRICT FORMED
City Council Holds Two Busy Sessions
and Gives Attention to Several Public
Service Matters.

Harrison's City Council has been
quite busy this week, several matters
of Importance having been disposed
of at it's two meetings Monday and
Wednesday evenings.
Besides appointing committee to
investigate the Electric Light Co.,
and determine as to the equity of its
rates; and considering in detail the
franchise to be granted the new
Home Telephone Co., the creation
of Water Improvement District No l
was materially advanced at We'd
nesday nights meeting.
In order to repair the legal irregu-
larities of the councils action over a
year ago the original petition pre-
sented at that time was again taken
up, and, after brief discussion, a
resolution was adopted declaring
the organization of the district and
and creating a Water Commission
composed of Messrs. W. F. Gordon,
W. O. Galbreath and H E. Littleton
The law provides that no further
action can be taken for thirty days,
The Harrison times., 1915-10-09

during which appeals may be made
to the courts if there is any question
as to the validity of the council
act.
1t is understood the Hanchett
Bond Co., which purchased the
S65 900 bond issue, and later turn
ed down the deal on account of a
technicality, agrees now to furnish
the money if everything is made
right in legal way.
{. M. Cooke was elected city at
torney vice G. P Watkins resigned,

Henpecked Henry

The type of henpecked husband
presented in Halton Powel's famous
musical comedy "Heupecked Henry"
which will be seen here at the
Opera House next Thursday Oct. IA
is absolutely different from the ac-
cepted idea of a stage "Rarnaby."
The character is a creation and un-
like any other ever presented here
tofore. 1t is a revelation in musical
comedy characterization. Henry"
is henpecked and desperately afraid
OF his wife, but he never allows her
to know it. Nine out of every ten
husbands will appreciate Henry"
sympathize with him and secretly
acknowledge in their own hearts
that he is a replica of themselves.
"Henpecked Henry" is drawn true
to life and at the same time is the
funniest character ever presented
upon the American stage. The
musical numbers are augmented by
a chorus of pretty girls who wear
the most gorgeous costumes ever
used with a one night stand produc-
tion, Reserved seats at the Citizens
Bank.

SAN FRANCISCO EXPOSITION

Boone County Sponsor Tour Con-
test will end October Goth.
Unique, indeed, is the location of
the Panama Paci6c International
Exposition at San Francisco
Situated on the shores almost d.
rectly in front of the Golden Gate,
this magnificent Exposition is now
attracting almost 100000 visitors
daily. Think of it, more than a
million week, The displays, ex.
hibits and architectural effects are
almost beyond description. The
illumination is positively indescri-
bable.
Usually visitors to Expostions
look forward to the Exposition as a
climax of their trip, but this is not
so at the San Francisco Exposition
since the glorious natural wonders
of the Golden West-the magnificent
natural wonders of the world viewed
from the railroad car windows of
the tourist, vies, if unsurpasses, the
interest which might be manifested
in the Expositions at San Francisco.
Our County can well look forward
with interest to the time when we
send one of our most favored young
ladies as the honoree and sponsor
from this county to the Panama.
Pacific Exposition, but whoever this
young lady may be, she will certain.
ly be accorded every courtesy,
honor, attention within reach of the
gentlemen who comprise the Arkan.
sas Commission to the Panama.
Pacific International Exposition at
San Francisco
The plan of sending this Young
lady is well known in our county
and it is needless to say that this
paper is vitally interested in the
selection, and we feel sure that we
are performing our duty toward
Boone county in urging everyone to
interest themselves in the closing
weeks of this most fortunate
contest.

and responsibilities of the private
citizen, ought to know what the duties
and responsibilities of the town officials.
Inc town itself ought to be as well
managed as its schools or any private
business in it.
Every town ought to have a board or
committee to look after the health and
sanitation, another to look after and
take steps to provide a park and play
ground, another to look after and take
steps to provide park and playground,
another to look after the amusement,

might become, they would weep over
1t as Jesus did over Jerusalem.
1t would seem that the time is ripe
for the churches of our town to unite
more along the lines of our common
welfare. The churches should keep to
the front all things that make for the
higher life of our town. They should
be sort of John the Baptist calling

There is coming to our town a Boost
er Chautauqua in the near future that
will furnish US an opportunity to begin
to do some of these great things for our
town and community. The first is to
get together and make it a great sue
cess. We can do this by:a united, en-
thusiastic effort. We can discover men
and women among US who have the
gifts of leadership, we can discover our
ability to cooperate on a matter of
community welfare. If We will do this
1t will be worth ten times what it will
cost US and it may be the beginning of
great things for our town and COM

May we measure up to this oppor-

IF you want to live in the kind of

Like the kind of town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in grip
And start on long, long hike.
You IL only find what you left behind,
For there's nothing that S really new,
It's knock at yourself when you knock
at your town,
It isn't your town-it's you.
Real towns are not made by men afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead.
When everyone works and nobody shirks
You can raise town from the dead.
And if, while you make you personal
stake
Your neighbor can make one too,
Your town will be what you want to
see,
Itisn't your town-its YOU"
