The development OF this shale is
n certainty. 1t Is only a matter OF
time till Il plant is erected. This is
as sure as 1t is that capital will go on
doing business after the war. The
value of the shale has been proved.
All that Is now needed is the CAPT.

And what a great change will be
brought about when this Elko oil shale
is developed. In addition to the many
valuable by-products it will give us
cheap oil for fuel. Cheap fuel is the

PASTOR PRESENTED WITH
 SILVER SERVICE.

One hundred members of the First Presbyterian Church and friends assembled at the home of MT. and Mrs. Thomas T. My CTS in Hillcrest on Wednesday evening to give a welcome to the pastor, the Rev. Samuel Stan worth and his bride, who recent ly returned from their honey moon trip. One corner of the spacious parlor was arranged as if for a wedding, the suggestive bells hanging above the heads of the guests of honor. Musical numbers were rendered by Mrs. B. w. Mccormick, Mrs. Gene Douglass and J. L Simpson, and ices were served. Before the conclusion of the evenings en- joyments a beautiful silver tea service, a gift from the First Presbyterian Church congrega- tion, was presented to MT. and Mrs. Stanworth as token of the esteem in which they are held by their friends

LOUGHBOROUGH MANSION IS SCENE OF MOVING
 PICTURE ROMANCE.

With back turned to the street cars and automobiles passing to and fro along modern Prospect avenue, in Pulaski Heights, moving picture artist Tuesday afternoon focused his camera on perfect ante-bellum picture in front of the beautiful colonial residence of J. F. Loughborough, at Oak street. While the photographer ground away at his machine, men and women and girls and boys in the costumes of fifty years ago, some on foot and some horse back, paraded, posed and gestic- ulated, all of this being neces- sary in the enactment of one of the important scenes in the To- cal picture play founded on the experience of Little Rocks civil war hero and martyr, David o. Dodd.
The Pulaskian., 1915-10-01

Claude Ringo, who has made many canvasses for public im- provement petitions in Little Rock, says that he found in Pulaski Heights the livest bunch of public-spirited citizens he has ever encountered. In the record time of two weeks he made canvass of the large territory embraced in the pro- posed improvement district No. 9, obtained the signatures of 90 per cent of the property owners, and had only two turn-downs in the whole sixty-six blocks.
 The second petition is now complete and has been filed. In Little Rock a majority of the property owners have signed, and the petition will be filed for that district one day this week. The next step will be the organ ization of the district, after which bids for the work will be called for.
 The proposed improvement is for the grading, curbing and paving of Lee avenue from Pros pect avenue west to Laurel street, and all intersecting streets in Pulaski Heights and in Elmhurst addition to Little Rock, Walnut and Pine streets. Ordinances have been passed in both cities.

VISITING CAPITALISTS SUR PRISED AT ARKANSAS
 GOOD ROADS.

One day last week J. D. Ar mold made a 190-mile drive through the valley region east of Little Rock, in company with Robert O. Denning of Topeka, Kan, and party of Eastern capitalists representing a large farm loan syndicate. The trip extended into Pulaski, Lonoke and Jefferson counties, and near ly 200 miles was covered before the return to Little Rock at night. The visitors marveled at the splendid roads. They did not know that Arkansas had such improvements. A Vermont man said the roads he saw here are better than the roads back East. The gentlemen also were surprised at the high-class farms and improvements, and were impressed with the good crops in evidence along the way.

SWEET HOME WILL BE AT THE COUNTY FAIR.

Editor PulaSk1an:
 The children of the Pine Grove school at Sweet Home have arrived at the conclusion that they will be among the foremost in the county contests for the rural schools.
 Irene McClain will be one of the contests in spelling. Marga- ret Dixon, Dorothy Borough, Thomas Dixon and Horace Ca- sey will compete for honors in the Reclamation contest. The girls of the girls clubs and the boys of the boys clubs will also enter. Emma Diemer and Ruth Lawley will enter the drawing clubs, and number of the boys are going to enter the manual training contest for rural schools.
 Sweet Home possesses boys and girls that are typical work CTS and boosters for the better ment of their schools and their community and therefore they have entered the fair with en- thusiasm.-One of Them.

ABOUT THE RURAL SCHOOL CONTEST AT THE
 COUNTY FAIR.

In explanation of the spelling contest for rural schools, to be held at the Pulaski County Fair on Friday, October 22, the fol- lowing statement has been sent out:
 One hundred words selected at random from the standard spelling book in use in the rural schools of Pulaski county will be submitted in the spelling con- test. Spelling will be oral and the contest is open to both boys and girls, two pupils from each school in the county. The plan of the district eliminating con- test will not be followed this year.
 Contestants may be from any grade, and should be selected in a preliminary spelling contest in each school, the idea being t 0 send the two best spoilers to the county contest.
 In the Reclamation contest pu- pills may read or recite any piece of their own selection, not more than 300 words in length. This contest is open to both boys and girls, from any grade, two from each school, to be selected in preliminary school contests.
 Teachers are urged to explain this contest to their pupils and arrange for the selection of con- testants to represent their schools. Letters should be giv- en to the pupils selected for their admission to the county contest.
 In addition to sending repre- sentatives, it is hoped that all rural schools will be represented with a creditable exhibit of maps, specimens of cooking,

Pulaski Heights owes much of it's fame for beauty of landscape to the pines, those majestic, green-robed sentinels that stood watch over hill and vale long before the city dwellers came hence to build their bungalows and chicken coops.
 Strangers have marveled at the pictures the pine boughs frame for their eyes on a dash through the Heights by auto or street car. The pine tree is dis tinctly Pulaskian. It is a plant that belongs botanically and sentimenally to the Heights.
 All this granted, can anyone explain why every fellow who gets a notion to build, whether mansion, house or shanty, first lays siege to and destroys the pine trees-the prettiest and most valuable thing he has on his stringy little piece of gravel?
 The pines are disappearing. You can hardly find one where the carpenters and bricklayers have been. We now have to go into the ravines, along the ridges or to the country to find our prettiest natural scenery. Count the pine trees on i'm proved property the next time you ride to town, and you will be surprised at the small num- ber-and all of these broad acres once were covered with the beautiful evergreen. Where a pine tree remains, it usually is on premises pointed out as one of the show places of the Heights.
 Last week new home was started on one of the most at tractive sites in the city, and, as usual, the first act was to "clean out the pines," !" tree and shrub, leaving only few spindling oak and hickory saplings that will shed their foliage after the first frost, litter the yard with yellow leaves, and for the rest of the Fall and Winter stand gaunt and naked until benev- olent springtime again adorns them with vernal trimmings. A fine bargain this home-builder has made with generous old Dame Nature
 The wanton destruction of the native pine on private prop erty in Pulaski Heights is a form of public vandalism that is robbing the Heights of the prettiest lines and the. most in- spring color tints of it's civic picture. The man who cuts a pine tree out of his yard may have a good economic reason, but artistically he is deprlvlng
The Pulaskian., 1915-10-01

himself and his neighbors of something that the fruits of his economy can never buy-a pleasing landscape.
 Save the pines, or pretty soon The Pulaskian won't be able to find a sprig with which to dec crate it's headpiece.
