 Several new pupils have enrolled both in the grades and in the High School. The house is full-a few more and it will be running over.
 A school chorus has been organized, having met for the first time Thurs day last after school The first meet ing was a success. Hereafter the les sons will be recited Tuesdays and Thurs days after school.
 Blackboards in the High School room were reslated last Friday.
 The new concrete walk in front of the building improves the looks very much.
 All the boys of the school from the fourth grade up met and organized an Athletic Association. Prof. Perrill was elected president, Sneed Villnes vice. president, Elmer Reeves secretary and Ola Gurley treasurer. All athletics will be under the direction of the as- sociation.

TRIP THRU KANSAS.

Will Collier tells briefly of his trip thru Kansas with his family:
 We left Green Forest on June 25, 1916. Our train was late, so We had to stay over at Joplin till d. m. the next day There we took the Frisco for Wichita and en route we passed three mining districts and to see the mounds of crushed rocks at the mines is sight, indeed. We passed thru several small towns. Among them were Cherryvae and Fall River. We saw the great flooded district where the railroad track was graded above high water mark and Fall river full and the water backed out on either side. Just as far as the eye could reach we could see fence posts and tops of machinery peeping out above the water.
 We reached Wichita at D. m. the next day after leaving Green Forest, and there we stayed all night and the next day started for Studley. Kans. and we passed thru lots of fine country and arrived at Konoplis at about 2 D. m and there we saw the salt works. From Konoplis we went to Salina-a fine city and the surrounding country appears to be well adapted for prolific farming. Wheat and alfalfa were look ing fine. There we boarded d Union Pacific train for the great wheat belt of the northwest part Of Kansas. Here, too, the wheat was fine; the yield is from fifteen to forty bushels per acre. That part of Kansas appeared to me to the best of any thru which we travelled. It is nice, high country and has as fine water as any one ever drank.
 At Salina my wife and little daugh- ter, Ruth, joined us on August 1 and we spent little over month at the home of our friend, w. J. Trueblood. We left Studley on our return triI home September and went to Wichita where we visited while at the home. of our friends, Walter Freeman, Char ley Watkins and Emery and Will Sands While there we visited the Island Park, where we saw many of the wild ahi- mals, but too numerous to enumerate here. In this park there were also al most every kind of bird and fish known From Wichita we went to Winfield ant visited with our relatives, Martin Brown and family and while there Wis ited the museum. It is fine structure costing $40, ,000. We also took look at the insane asylum and saw the poo, unfortunates. It harbored about 40j inmates. Leaving there we journeyed to Monett, Mo-, and visited at the dom icile of my brother-in-law and sister MT. and Mrs. P. M. Shipley. Monett is a good town and seems to be surround ed by good country
 We reached Green Forest on Septem- Der l3 and found conditions in Arkan. sas better than We expected. Water. melons and big red apples look just l fine to us. Will Collier.

ECHOES OF THE FAIR.

Ben K. Greer, county agent, Tad the forethought to write us concerning the County Fair at Berryville last week. for which he has our sincere thanks but the write-up came too late to pub fish as whole and we take the liberty of extracting few of the main features of the Fair given in the gentleman s letter, Tn which he says in some re- spects the Fair was a success ana III others it was failure, and as a com parison of exhibits reminded him that women do what they undertake well, and if the men had done half so well Tn their departments as did the women III theirs, the last County Fair would have been all that could have been asked for from the standpoint of exhibits, as the exhibits in the ladies' department were par excellence.
 The exhibits in the agricultural de- partment was good, but nothing like 1t should have been. The exhibits of Field
 
 and Garden Crops were fair, but woe fully short. The poultry show was also far short of what it could have been, as was also the livestock.
 We will not attempt to give the req sons MT. Greer assigns, pro and con, why the Fair was not up to its usual standard only had there been proper cooperation the Fair would have been bowling success. Upon this rock many enterprises fail. "Oh, 1 could have showed better stuff than that, " were the remarks often heard by Mr.. Greer from people who failed to do one single thing to help make good show ing and thereby help educate the people to the possibilities of our county. No better asset can any county have than well-couducted Fair, but sad to relate too many of us look at such enterpri- ses from the dollar point of view, over looking the fact that they benefit the whole people, may not in dollars and cents, but to assist in having better crops, livestock, etc.
 When w. F. Sweeten of Carrollton hauled his exhibits of Irish potatoes, two 10-ten ears of corn and of oats Is miles to the Fair, showing his faith in his handiwork he deserves much credit, and when Sam Higginbotham sent a cin l-ul nf he, southwest corner of the county he did money, but to contribute his mite to- ward making the Fair a success.
 There are many good ideas advanced by MT. Greer to make the Fair better next year, but time warns us to desist, and we will "wind-up" by quoting MT. Greer's closing remarks:
 "We realize the need of a good County Fair, and that it will take the cooperation of all the people to make it success. After IA years of Carroll County Fairs it looks like there might be no Fair next year. Cant we profit by the mistakes we have made in the past and build fair that will meet our needs? Cant the business men and farmeS of the county come together on some common ground and work to that end? We have no axe to grind, and what we have said is done with good will for all, with the best interest of the county at heart and with sincere desire to see Carroll county to take the place she should occupy-one of the banner counties of this great peerless State. Trusting that tt sonic way may be planned by which the Fair may be per petuated, but we do not think that a few men should have to bear all the burden. '

Land Mark Gone West.

G. L. McNiel, on Route 2. one of the land marks of Carroll county. packed his grip and filled big lunch basket and hied away to Colorado Saturday night in response to the insisteEce of his wife who went to Rahma, Colo. last spring on visit and became so in- fatuated with the country that she in- structed her husband to sell out and come to Colorado.
 Here's hoping that Mir. and Mrs. McNiel will prosper to their heart's s content in their new home, and the next good man who lets his wife go away on visit, we say don t let her go.

O'NEILL'S HOMESTEAD.
Why the Venerable Colonel Is Engaged Building a Home in Hemmed-in-
 Hollow.

In these rather exciting days when many corners are attracted this way on account of the alluring opportunities for investments in Harrison and adja- cent mineral fields, people of both wealth and distinction are calculated to come within our gates and be given only passing notice or to be overlooked entirely.
 This story is introduced with this sort of preface as an apology, eX- planatior or excuse for our not having already chronicled the "whole truth" concerning the mission here of that vederable prince and his princess wife, Colonel and Mrs. William F. O'Neil.
 Do you know that these interesting people are "the grandparents of the Kewpies ?"
 "Who are the Kewpies ?' We'll, bless your soul, ask any tot about town. tell you that the little folk in celluloid, picture, poetry and story are doing their glad part to bring sunshine into
 
 Those of our people who were fort unate enough to meet the "Kewpie' kin can readily see where Rose Neill received her good cheer inspiration.
 It is in response to desire on the part of Rose O'Nell for another wild place that Colonel O'Neill has taken homestead in Hemmedin-Hollow. y Bonnie Brook" the famous O'Neill home over in Fancy county, Missouri, has become too popular with the "mad- dening crowd of genius, hence the move toward the homestead on Big Buffalo to what the people call Hem med-n- Hollow" but which tract is des- ignated on the plats of the government land office here as "The Chasm.
 Mr. and Mrs. O'Neill and their son, Clarence, are camping out in that vi- cinty now and are charmed with the scenery and the people.
 The nature of the chasm which is truly named, is such as to preclude propinquity and will satisfy the "call to the wild"
 Rose O'Neill with her sister, Calsta, also an artist of note, is in New York for the winter
 By next summer the new edfice will be ready for it's distinguished occupants, and here is hoping they will find the place so satisfactory that they may never have cause to change their loca tion. Harrison Headlight.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to catarrhal deafness. and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in famed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed you have a rumbing sound or inn perfect hearing. and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition. hearing will be destroyed forever. Many eases of deafness are caused by catarrh. which is an inffamed condition of the mucous sur faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be GU d by Halls CatarTh Medicine. Cir cNlan rec. All DruRg sta 75c

Dr. Luther CalIen Returns from Idaho.

Dr. Luther Callen was an arrival III Green Forest, Friday, coming from Murtaugh, Ida, where he and his sis ter, Mrs. Albert Stevens, were called more than a month ago to the bedside of their mother, Mrs. Allie Callen, who, we are glad to report had sufficiently recovered from her illness to be able to return to Arkansas with her chli- dren.
 Dr. Callen said he had had pleasures unusual for person going on mission of the kind which had called him. He had hunted in the hills and tished in the streams until-wel, he didn't know just how many pounds he had gained. The vacation from his medical practice was no small item, since, we are proud to say, Dr. Luther Callen's name ranks high, not only as an Al M. D., but as a skilled surgeon. He is located at Huntsville and after few days visit here with his sister, Mrs. E. E. Poynor, departed for his home.

AIlUy OOA, lk. '. Ds ilIci NV. 1J turned his work over to his substitute, Floyd Brasswell, and spent three or four days during the past week at the homes of his son, Auburn Cox, and z.<,.,-e---.-Esss-;e-- at Notch daugHJ2f, N1ta. S1ae. pdsie, = -s9'S Mo. During his visit he had the pleas ure of visiting the site of the proposed big dam on White River, which, 1t is claimed, is nearing completion.
 Mir. Cox says it is question ln his mind whether the opening of this dam will prove to be as beneficial to the country as one at first mghlt think. For instance the opening of this dam means the inundation of thousands and thousands of White River bottom land land that is producing forty bush- els of corn to the acre. and is now sell ing at $1.00 per bushel.
 These farms are all dotted with house of good build-some them almost man. sions-and barns if any odds outrank- ing the residences, all of which would be sacrifice as the price of the land regardless of the improvements is all l that will be considered, and for this reason MT. Cox thinks machinery pro duced electricity would mean the great est good to the greatest number.
 When you have read through this issue of the paper just take time enough to let one fact sink into your active brain. The paper on which this issue was print ed has cost Us approximately double what it cost US one year ago. The ink we used IS away up in price. The oil that keeps the press revolving is up in price. The power that moves the ma chinery is sky high. In fact, every item of expense Is up in the clouds and many are away above them, and every dollar of expense means just that amount of money right out of our pocket. A great many subscribers are in arrears on sub- scription, and we need that money ir order to meet the rapidly increasing cos of producing this paper. It is simply thoughtlessness on your part, we know but our own creditors do not recognize that word. It doesn't go with them for an instant.

Learned in The Tribune Office

George Wiswell, wife and George, Jr., spent several days the past week at the home of Georges mother, Mrs. Nancy Wiswell.
 Some eight years ago George started in to learn to set type in The Tribune office. He not only learned to set type, but learned to be printer as well, and is now editor and owner of the Pang burn News, siX-column, siX-page folio-and he tells us that his business is such that he expects to add two more pages within the next few weeks.
 1t certainly speaks well for boy who entered the business world with scarcely dollar and can say today, "I owe not any man.
 Georges office compares favorably with any other country newspaper office; his machinery is modern as well as his office furniture and fixtures.
 George returned to Pangburn Mon day and Mrs. Wiswell and George. Jr., remained for more extended visit, after which they will visit Mrs. W's. father at Row, Okla.
