endeavor! Our present basis OF
farm production is only 20 per cent
efficient. We need the farmer and ne

prove this to everyone. To prove
our honesty of purpose and the
profits to all through cooperative
effort by getting better acquainted.
Then, on the civic side, there are
not less than a thousand-and-one
things which we can do. should do
and will do with organization for
the bettermeut of Harrison, proud
as we are of it to-day-Health con-

EX.C0NFE FEDERATE REUNION
Large Crowds Enjoy a Big Picnic and
Good Program at BsIleiOnte.

Annual Reunion ana Picnic OF Ross
Ruble Camp, the local organization
of Confederate Veterans began at
Belletonte yesterday.
The welcome address was delivered
by Grover Seals and responded to by
DR.. II. l.. Routh. Several interest
ing papers and sougs were given by
the Daughters of the Confederacy.
Following is the program for today:
Speeches By Judge Z. u. Mitchell
and J. n. Tillman. Parade by old
soldiers. Music by Red Oak and
Potts Choirs
2p. m. Synopsis Of the Life of
Stonewall Jackson, by Mrs. Minnie
Helm, read by Miss Daisy Cantrell.
Speech by James ". Nicholson.
Song by ten little girls, Pass Over
the River and Rest Under the Shade. 4"
Song BY old Soldiers, God BE With
You Till We Meet Again"
Harrison will send large crowd
to-day to the picnic and reunion at
Belletonte. Our people love the old
eE-contederates and will be glad to
spend a pleasant day with them
In extending their invitation the Re-
union committee uses the following
touching and appropriate words:
Let the Blues and Grays, all come
aud bring their sons and daughters,
and let us all rejoice together that
sectional strife has long since ceased
and that we live in prosperous and
united country, at peace with itself
and all the nations of the earth in
this awful hour when half the civil
lied world is now engaged in deadly
conflict"

tural and mineral products, anti
mail order display, photographs aud
enlarged crop, ownership and real
estate sales maps, charts etc
1t is contemplated that there
should be a secretary who should
devote his entire time to the work of
the organization and who should
not be called upon TO spend the
major portion of his time collecting
his salary. There would also be
one clerk or stenographer on duty
all the time.
The basic equipment of the office
would be a complete fling system
and card index system, which, as
soon as possible would contain a
complete, reliable and constantly
up-to-uow commercial and crop
record for the entire Harrison trade
district. A bureau in constant
service to all our merchants, farmers
real estate men, newspapers and
prospective citizens.
The Real Estate Bureau, built up
on the complete records, would be
an Immediately important and pro-
ftable feature and would answer the
hundreds of inquiries that come to
Harrison from prospective land buy
ers and business enterprises from all
over the country.
This basic data would furnish the
ground work for all road building
propositions and campaigns.
The parent body would be organ
lied into a large number of sub
divisions and standing committees,
logically and harmoniously coguated,
until every laudable activity for
community benefit would be well
and constantly organized for
efficient progress, along all lines
This organization would call to its
active support every citizen; there
would be definite work for the young
men, for the ladies and even for the
boys and girls in their respective
organizations-The Boy Scouts Com
mission and the Camp Fire Girls etc.
One of the most important and
constant lines of endeavor is to be
the cooperation with and for the
farmers, not only in farm demon
stration work and the organization
and support of boys and girls corn,
pig, canning and poultry clubs,
throughout our trade district, with
frequent meetings, trade days, pro-
grams. farm extension school ETC.,
a constant educa tional campaign,
calling to our assistance the U, 5.

Floods Controlled BY Forest
Protection.
A Strong Argument for the Work Being
Done By Our Forestry Service

The disastrous overhows now
devastating the State drive home the
timely remarks of the Supervisor of
the Ozark National Forest at Harri-
son, Arkansas in discussing the pres
ent situation. He said the recent
floods are in a large measure due to,
the disregard of forest protection
and the destruction of the Forest
cover by reccurrent forest fires.
Both observation and record show
fully that forests werfully affect
the manner in which water reaches
streams and passes down them.
The forest floor is a blanket and
like a blanket it will hold more
water than will the harder and rela-
lively less porous soil of the open A
forest soil when saturated will hold
more than half its dry weight in
water or over 6 inches Of water for
every foot of soil. This, as we'll as
the breaking up of forest soil by the
roots of trees and underground,
makes it more effective than any
other cover for the intake of water
into that vast underground reser
voir from which all streams and
springs are fed.
When the forest is cleared from a
mountain watershed the blanket
formed by the decaying leaves,
branches, and fallen trees is burned
up, dried by the sun, or carried off
by wind and water. This is in
evitably followed by increase in the
frequency and duration of foods,
This fact is known to every man
who has had an opportunity to
observe it.
The White River and many Of itb
principal tributaries near it's heoh
have their source in the Ozark
National Forest,
Many of the tributaries Of the
Arkansas river have beginning NJ
the Ozark Forest, such as Mulberry
Big and Little Piney Creeks, illinois,
Bayou, Little Red River and many Of
its branches. The value of the Ozark
National Forest, watershed pro.
lection is therefore very great. 1t

HARRISON TO INCORPORATE
A Plan Whereby Harrison Shall, 10 lhe
Future as ia the Past, Lead in Civic
DeyelOpement

The idea that our Commercial
Club should have a broader scope of
activity and a more substantial
business organization has been dis
cussed for some time by our business
men and progressive citizens general
ly. This idea, born of our admitted
needs and evident possibilities for
development and commercial
growth, has taken definite shape.
A committe was appointed by our
Commercial Club to consider ways
and means of reorganization. Ia
response to an invitation from this
committee, Mr.. Ray Gill of Little
Rock spent the first of the week in
this city. Mr.. Gill presented COM
prehensiye plan of permanent and
continuous organization in some de-
tail to the committee, and later to
the citizens in an open meeting
Tuesday night at the Court House.
The plan is big one, an undertak-
ing of magnitude worthy of the
earnest consideration of every citizen
in Harrison, of Boone county and
the entire trade district surrounding
Harrison and the business interests
of this city.
The concrete proposition before
our citizens for consideration, and
action, right now, is the organiza-
tion of a Public Service Corporation,
chartered under the laws of Ark
ansas, its purpose being the in
dustrial and commercial develope-
ment of Harrison and the Harrison
trade district along educational and
cooperative lines. To make Harri-
son the first city in the land to
apply actually and practically the
assertion; "a community is one big
corporation and all its citizen are
stockholders
This Public Service Corporation
would begin with capital stock of
$4,000 shares So each. The sub
scription list would be conditioned
on a minimum of $4,000 of the
capital stock being subscribed for
within a given time. The subscrip-
tion would range from 200 to 20
shares to each firm orindividual and
are to be paid for in SO equal. con-
secutive monthly payments. Thus
assuring the organization for a
period of three years at least The
membership would thus approx
mate from $40 to 81 monthly dues.
Sufficient stock should be sold under
this payment plan to assure an in
come of about $500 per month.
The corporation, under this plan,
would have a central, ground floor
office, large enough for meeting
place and for displays of agricul-
