Improvements to Amount of
 $5OO,OOO Under Way on Heights

What probably will be larger than either of these public inn provements will be the repaving of Prospect avenue from the east limits of Pulaski Heights to Forest Park and the extension of the double track of the Little Rock Street Railway westward to the first Hillcrest entrance, the plan for which is being con- sidered by the officials of the two cities cooperating with the county judge and the railway company. This improvement will represent an outlay of $65,- 900.
 During the past fall the w. B. Worthen Company has built and sold half a dozen high class residences in Pulaski Heights, one of them being the $5,7OO home of Walter J. Terry on South Lookout avenue, in Hill crest. Two other large dwell ings are being constructed by this firm in Midland Hills, these improvements aggregating in cost approximately $30,000.
 The Morgan Smith building, at Beech street and Prospect avenue, known as the Civic Gen. ter, has just been completed at a cost of $20,000. Here is To- cated the City Hall and Masonic Lodge rooms.
 In the same district Otto Sci gle has recently completed three modern bungalows, the cost of which was $10,000.
 A number of other lots have been purchased in the Heights by persons who later plan to build homes. Real estate men say that they cannot supply the demand for choice residences in this popular suburb. There are few or no houses offered for rent, and vacant lots are more strongly demanded than ever

Half Million Dollars in Impmts. Under Way in P. H.-2 Col. Hd.
 Building operations in Pulas- Ri Heights are more active this winter than at any season in the history of this rapidly growing suburb, improvements now un- der way and in process of pro- motion aggregating an outlay of more than half million dol lars.
 The largest single investment is represented in the new Cath olic college, on which will be spent, before completion, more than $250,000. The plans drawn by Architect Frank M. Blaisdell call for a group of five build ings. Contracts have been let, and construction is now under way on two of the smaller of these buildings, Science Hall and the service building, the contract price being S57, APT. There will be no delay in the work until the entire group is completed.
 Among the most important projects considered is the Lee avenue improvement, which con- templates the grading and paw ing of Lee avenue, from Fairfax avenue west to Laurel street, and all intersecting streets south of Prospect avenue to Lee. The total cost of this work is es- timated to be S30,00O. The for nation of the district is now under way, and the details are expected to be completed so that construction can be started at the beginning of spring.
 Residents of Palm street, be- tween Prospect and Lee ave nues, are forming a special im- provement district for the build ing of sidewalks and the erec- tion of ornamental entrance gates to this street of select homes.

Prosperity

The air is charged with the vitaliz- ing prospect of good times ahead. Our country is profting from the thrift and industry practiced during the past year. The dark clouds of busi- ness depression are rolling away.
 This is all very encouraging and pleasing, but we should not stop ill our efforts to gain financial lncepend- ence. Let us in Arkansas do our part in the great movement to make the United States creditor nation. The accumulation of small deposits in the savings banks will help great deal to this end
 Bank a part of your savings in our Savings Department We pay 4 per cent interest on savings.
