"Texarkana Is the gateway to the Golden West, but it is my belief it al so is the very center and heart of a section of golden opportunities, re- marked one of the editors at the for ty-fourth annual convention of the Ar Kansas Press Association in that city she early part of this week, and this belief seemed to prevail generally among the editors, their wives and their guests, who were given an op- portunity to judge for themselves as 10 the exceptional opportunities which are found in the Twin Cities.
 Opportunity knocks but once,' is an old saying. but literally this does not apply to Texarkana, inasmuch as the opportunity is ever present there, rather seeking the man than thaA the man should seek it.

Starts your liver without making you sick and can not

Every druggist in town-your drug gist and everyb0dy's druggist has noticed q great falling-ofF in the sale of calomel. They all give the same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone is taking it's place.
 "Calomel is dangerous and people know it. while Dodson's Liver Tone is perfectly safe and gives better results." said a prominent local druggist. Dodson's Liver Tone is personally guaranteed by every druggist who sells it. A large bottle costs 50 cents, and if it fails to give easy relief in every case of liver suggishness and constipation, you have only to ask for your money back.
 Dodson's Liver Tone is pleasaut-tast- ing. purely vegetable remedy, harmless to both children and adults. Take 8 spoonful at night and wake up feeling fine; no biliousness, sick headache, acid stomach or constipated bowels. It doesn't gripe or cause inconvenience all the next day like violent calomel. Take q dose of ealomel today and tomorrow you will feel weak. sick and nauseated Don't lose days work! Take Dodson's Liver Tone instead and feel fine, full of vieor and ambition.

zia Hynson Case, an organist whose well-earned reputation is not confined 10 the boundaries of Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana, conducted the recital on the echo organ. one of the finest instruments ever introduced in this section of the country, and the second one in the entire South, the only other one being at Dallas MT. Edward Johnston, manager of the Little Rock branch of the Western Newspaper Union, sang several solos that added greatly to the occasion, and the ladies of the first families of the Twin Cities were in the receiving line to bid the visitors welcome. The recital was such as few cities could present, and the visitors and their wives were profuse in their express sions of appreciation.
 Tuesday evening the magnificent Texarkana Country Club was thrown open to the editorial delegation, and a dance and reception was enjoyed. The banquet Monday night was one of the greatest affairs of it's kind ever attempted by Texarkana, and was a crowning success to the efforts of the local newspaper men there. Hon. Lee J. Roundtree, president of the Ma tional Editorial Association, was among the visitors. and made brief talk at the banquet. as well as at the business sessions of the convention. Another prominent visitor at the meet, ing was Walter B. Whitman, publisher of Hollands Magazine and president of the Texas Press Association

there are many generous ones among them-the editors were taken on an automobile ride over the Twin Cities, shown the wonderful improvements made since last the editors were there, told of the many wonderful i'm provements in the way of paving, in- creased water mains for better fire protection, more fire houses, substan- tial business houses. etc, that are about to be begun, and then were taken on a tour of inspection to several of the forty-nine manufacturing insti- tutIons in the city.

 Texarkana is rapidly forging to the front, and there are five logical req sons. briefly summarized as follows; Texarkana is city of homes. a city of factories, city of schools, city of churches and a city with ideals There are supplemental reasons with out number why Texarkana is, and why Texarkana will continue to be, the greatest city of its size in the entire South As to the homes on both sides of the state line, wealth Is to be found in abundance.
 AS to banking facilities, few cities are in a class with Texarkana. There are six banks there, each of them sound as the rock of Gibraltar, and the aggregate deposits amount to be tween five and six million dollars. They have ample reserve bank connec- tions.

Four national highways are to pass through Texarkana
 One of the greatest advantages ac- eruing to Texarkana Is the fact that 1t Is situated in the very center of one of the greatest producing belts in this entire section. The variety and quantity of products cannot be ex- eelled anywhere The soils are gray sandy loam, loam and clay. merging into brown and black sandy loans, and clay in the river bottoms. Fruits, vegetables, garden truck of every known variety, feed stuffs-all are prolific producers in this soil The growing of grapes is an industry which has had wonderful progress during recent years, and this luscious fruit bids fair to become one of the chief products of the soil in that sec tion.
 Farm lands in the vicinity of Tex arkana range in value probably lower than anywhere in the United States in proportion to their productiYeness. The average value per acre in Miller county is $14.13. with a yield of $22.04 per acre, while in Bowie county the average Is forty cents per acre higher.
 During their stay in Texarkana the editors were very forcibly impressed with the conviction that Texarkana is on the map, commercially, financially and socially, and that the Twin Cities are well prepared to meet newoouaers, | entertain them and hold them after getting them there. The Texarkana l commercial organizations are working | industriously to make Texarkana known to the world as one of the premier cities of the great South by reason of it's natural environment and the aggressiveness of it's citizens in diyidually and collectively.
