We believe that soil and climatic

biae to make this the best agricultural
section in the country; we believe that
Pine Bluff situated in the, heart of
rich agricultural and lumber manu-
featuring section, offers unsurpassed
advantages for industrial enterprises.
We know there are thousands Of acres
now idle that could be made to pro-
duce from the establishment here OF
more factories.
Of what good, however, are these
beliefs and convictions unless utilized.
And how are they to be utilized?
1t is apparent that local people
have their hands full with the affairs
in which they are at present interest
ed. The only possible way to capita
lize the assets we possess is to get
knowledge of them to farmers, in
vestors and manufacturers who may
be interested.
There is hardly better way to dc
this quickly and convincingly, for a
part of the country, than by partici
patton in the Arkansas on Wheels
tour. The cost of two exhibits on the
train has been provided for; Pine
Bluff can get the benefits to ensue by
simply defraying cost of advertising
expense.
Action cannot longer be delayed
Pine Bluff must act now or let it be-
come known that the second larges
county in the state, and the best in
land cotton market and industrial
center in Arkansas are not represent
ed because OF the lack of cooperation
of Pine Bluff people.

Tin Can or Canteer2

Popular etymology is always more
interesting than the learned explana-
tons of philologists. For instance,
take the barrack-room derivation of
the word "canteen." 1t is no use try
ing to convince Tommy Atkins that it
comes from the Italian "cantina," a
small cellar. He has his own deriva-
ton, which he inds quite satisfactory.
"Canteen' is simply "tin can" said
backwards. To justify this theory he
simply invites one to look around. Ger.
tainly tin enters largely into the uteb'
sils and furnishing of the average cam
teen. The drinking vessels are tin, the
counter is tin, and in many cases the
tables also are covered with block tin.
No wonder Tommy holds that the word
has some connection with the metal
that is SO much in evidence.

BUHDED OWN MONUMENT.

The Michael Meagher Memorial hos
pital at Texarkana was formally
opened at Texarkana yesterday, and
will be in charge of the Sisters OF
Charity OF the Incarnate Word, who
have leased the institution for five
years, a provision being that charity
patients shall be accepted
The hospital was made possible
through a bequest of Michael Meagher,
a railroad man who was mysteriously
murdered in the railway station at
San Antonio, Texas, several years ago.
Mr.. Meagher's will conveyed his en-
tire estate to board Of trustees for
the purpose of establishing a charity
hospital at TeXarkana, his life having
convinced him of the need for such
an institution and his big heart
prompting him to make possible this
charity. The bequest was not suffici-
ent to build, equip and maintain a
charity, hospital, so the trustees de-
vised a plan whereby Mr.. lMeagher's
purpose will be served while at the
same time the institution will be self
sustaining.
There is no place in the country
where a charity hospital was more
badly needed than at Texarkana, for

Poverty a StimuIant.

The stings Of poverty are often tile
incentives that STIR to action. A fellow
will bestir himself mighty hard before
he will starve. And if he has the right
self-respect he will go the limit before
he will resort to charity. AL over the
land there are men looking for fellows
with the right metal for big enter
prises. When they see fellow trying
to make good they usually see that he
gets the chance. In the hustle for
bread and butter habits are formed
that often lead to marked efficiency.
Necessity often starts movements that
result in untold good. What is corr
pulsion at first often becomes privilege
and pleasure later on.

Jefferson's Mammoth Cheese,

On the Fourth of July in Jefferson's
time, after the levee at the White
House, it was the custom for officials
and others to gather at one of the tav-
ems where tOasts were given and an
swered until the reputation of the
landlords house had been sustained.
AT one of these independence day ban
quets held at Stelle's tavern in the
early part of the nineteenth century IL
tOasts were made and to each toast IL
guns We're fired. President Jefferson
sent over from the White House
goodly piece Of his mammoth cheese
which admirers in Cheshire, Mass,
had sent to him and which had to be
taken taken to the White House On a dray
drawn by six horses.

Quiet Endowment.

One of the arts of life Is to be able
to sit still aud to enjoy. To the hur'
ried people it is an art almost un'
known. The reason is that their hur'
rying keeps the springs Of being trou-
bled. Even in those moments when
they are forced to be still they feel
hurried. The truth is that hurry haa
become part Of their nature. They
sometimes reach the state where It
ceems impossible for them ever to
know peace. The only peace they can
achieve is a kind of self-forgetfulness
in hurry. The mcre hurried they are
the greater their illusion of freedom.
Their hurry ia :ils drinking or taking
. drug.

WHERE IS THE HIGHEST
POINT IN ARKANSAS 2?

What is the highest point in
Arkansas? The United States
Geological Survey says the
highest points thus far found
in the State are Blue Mountain
in Scott and Polk counties, and
Magazine Mountain in Logan
county, each very nearly 2
800 feet in altitude.
A number of years ago the
department of the interior,
through its geological survey,
published q Dictionary of Al
titudes" for the entire United
States NOV out Of print, but
the elevations given in thatvol-
ume were nearly all approx
mate and could not be used as
a basis for work requiring ae-
curacy and care. The survey is
now publishing, however, a
number of separate bulletins,
each covering a single state,
which, when completed, will
form valuable series because
the elevations OF most of the
data points are given to the
thousandth of a foot and the
points are described and
marked so as to be easily in
Identified.
One of these bulletins which
has been issued by the geolog-
zeal survey, gives the elevation
of more than $50 marked
points established in the state
and in addition the elevation
of nearly SO we'll known sum-
mits and prominent lakes.
