And nine times out of ten it is not

more money-for if they are 1ntelll-
gent they must know that the aver
age person in the big city is not as
well off as the average person in the
small city-but it is the belief that
there 'is more going en- in the big
city. In other words, they crave for
more amusement.
They read or hear OF big theatres.
great concerts, noted speakers, and
fondly imagine that every person in
the big town must be spending his or
her nights taking in the great doings.
They scarcely realize that the big
amusements ia the big city, like so
many other advantages connected
with them, are for the comparative

1t costs considerable money to be
gay in the big city, and the common,
ordinary person usually lives a long
way from the great white ways" and
must go to and from work in crowded,
stuffy cars, in which he is compelled
to live several hours day. in some
cases.
The advantages that the small town
Or city possesses more than counter

in this respect the small city is i'm

SUNDAY AT OCEAN GROVE.

Ocean Grove. N. j.. Aug. 2o.-The
annual summer assemblies of the
Ocean Grove Camp Meeting associa-
ton have been, famous for years. but
the revival which opens here tonight
under the same auspices promises to
far eclipse any of its predecessors in
the matter of attendance, interest and
enthusiasm. The secret of the extra
ordinary interest in this years revival
is to be found in the fact that Billy
Sunday is announced as the principal
speaker and chief attraction. The
meetings will continue until Labor
Day The engagement will be one of
the shortest ever filled by Sunday
but it is expected to be as full of
Sunday pep" as any of the revivals
conducted by the famous evangelis'
in any of the larger cities.

Public spirit is something that Is
Just as easily practiced as talked

1t is something that isn't detailed

There is evidence that there is
public spirit in Pine Bluff but there
is always room for more.
In fact, there is scarcely city IN
the entire nation that has too much

It's the thing that creates prosper,

Public spirit in Pine Bluff needs

UNIVERSAL TELEPHONE TALK.

John J. Carly. chief engineer of the
American Telephone & Telegraph
company, in his enthusiasm over the
recent successful experiments with
wireless telephony, forssees the day
when telephone communication Will
be established with every part OF
the known world. The perfection OF
the ordinary telephone has already
made one closely knit community OF
this nation of 100,000.0o0 people, in
spite of our vast distances and great
natural barriers OF communication.
The wireless telephone. by natural
process of development. he believes,
will do the same with all the nations
and communities of the earth.
Aad this, suggests MI. Carly, will
be of tremendous effect IN welding the
nations into one great family. Nations
and races are now hostile Or preju-
diced against each other because they
do not understand each other. 1t is
ignorance that causes suspicion, jeal-
ousy. hatred and war. lntercommuai
cation brings understanding, When
rival nations get into the habit .!
speaking to each other across their
boundaries. they are drawn together
in sympathy and common interests.
Not the least OF this brilliant eagi-
neer's convictions is that the tele-
phone, invented by Americans and
carried to perfection by Americans. is
destined TO make our language the
universal means of communication.
'The world-telephone will make 8
common language necessity" he
says. "This does not mean that al
languages exce pit one will disappear
but there will be one language which

Whose broad stripes and bright stars

And the rockets red glare, bombs
bursting in the air,
Give proof thro' the night that our flag
was still there.

On the shore dimly seen thro' the

Where the foes naughty hosts in
dread silence reposes.
What is that which the breeze; DER

As it fitfully blows, half cOnceals;

Now it catches the CLEAN of the morn

In full glory reflected, now shines on

Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the

Praise the pow'r that hath made and

Then conquer, we must, for our cause
