PATRIOTIC SOCIETIES.

! There are two chapters of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
! ton in Pine Bluff, each contributing
to educational and uplift work. Pine
Bluff chapter, D. A. R., inaugurated
the movement that resulted in the for
nation of the library association and
the establishment Of the public libra
ry. The chapter lends financial aid
to educational work among the noun
tain folk of Arkansas. The battleship
Arkansas was presented with a stand
ard by this society.
John McAlmont chapter, D. A. R.,
confines itself mainly to educational
work, and has given assistance to
numerous sections of the state. In
line with its purpose, the chapter Of
fe's cash prizes to high school stu
dents for essays on topics associated
with the American revolution.
For the Confederate monument on
the high school campus, the city is in
debted to David o. Dodd chapter,
United Daughters of the Confederacy,
which society also owns and keeps
up a lot in Bellwood cemetery. An
other accomplishment of the chapter
was the placing of Confederate mar
ker at Sulphur Springs.
The local branch of the Daughters
of 1912 is also active in civic affairs,
and has aided in developing a patri-
otto interest in the affairs of the
county, state and city. The chapter
will soon place a government marker
over the grace. in Bellwood Cemetery,
of Dexter Harding.

CITY BEAUTIFUL CLUB.

The City Beautiful club, one of the
oldest of the local women's organi-
cations, is also one of the most ac-
tive. Twas the City Beautiful club
that inaugurated cleanup" days in
the city; whose members worked and
contended for paved street to Bell
wood cemetery until this improve
ment was made, and assisted in the
purchase of street cleaners. The play
ground movement was enaugurated
by this club, which also financed a
municial survey Of Pine Bluff. Citi-
zens and strangers alike are indebted
TO the City Beautiful club for the beau
LITIGATION of railroad property just
north of the union station, which had
long been an eye-sore. The railroad
officials surrendered when the City
Beautiful club urged that they beau
tify the lot.

ment
Mrs. w. R. Barricklaw is president
Mrs. Will C. Jones, secretary; Mrs. W.

Keeler, press correspondent.
An officer of the league submits
the following report of it's achieve
ments
Seventy-five trees have been plant
ed on church and school grounds and
Twenty-Five immoral resorts have
been located and eliminated.
A historic old elm tree in Ohio
street was preserved, hy means of a
concrete curb, forming a beautiful
boulevard 20 feet in length.
East Fifth avenue was opened, and
Harding's drain was bridged with
concrete through the efforts of the
league.
Two fall carnicals have been held,
both being great successes, socially
and financially.
Two small city parks have been i'm
proved. One of these was decided to
the city by Mr.. A. NJ. Barrow, and
named in his honor, Barrow Glen"
The league has held two cleanup
campaigns" with gratifying results,
our efforts in this work meeting with
hearty cooperation on the part of
all residents.
-Four beautiful public drinking
fountains have been erected at prom
inent street crossings, thereby filing
a want long felt by the people of Pine
Bluff.
Besides these civic improvements,
the league has contributed to charity,
and has received the social life of East
Pine Bluff to a very gratifying degree.
The work we have accomplished
during the past eighteen months rep
resen,s the expenditure of $3.50, this
large amount being raised by means
of public subscriptions, by carnivals
and by dues paid by members.
Looking to the future, we feel that
our good work in East Pine Bluff has
only begun. and we shall never stop
until our little field of activity shall
present an example worthy of the
hearty approval of any city in our
gcold old state.

HOUSEWIVES LEAGUE.

The Housewives league was organ
lied last summer to meet problems
presented by the increased cost of
foodstuffs by an exchange of expe-
riences and ideas on household prob
lens. The league at once went on
record in favor of the plan Of "pay
cash and take your bundles home
it's investigations demonstrating that
a large percentage of the gross profits
on groceries are consumed by the ex
pensive service demanded by the
thoughtless housewife with a tele-
phone. The league has stimulated in
terest in good markets, sensible mar

As a result Of the leagues efforts
several grocery stores abolished the

| The Davis Hospital association, OF
which Mrs. J. w. Crawford is pfesi-
dent, has charge of the Davis hospitai,
public institution with pay wards.
Mrs. Crawford devotes practically her
entire time to this work, and has re-
ceived the blessings of many for ner
sympathetic help and encouragement.
Few realize the great work this noble
woman performs, or the time and at
tention she devotes to the relief OF
the sick from a pure love of humanity.
Plain and unaffected, she goes about
making others brighter and happier
with a gift, kind words or her lnfec-
tious good humor. The gift may be a
flower placed in a sick room with
smile and a nod of encouragement;
it may be of more intrinsic value
something, perhaps, she has put ner-
self at great inconvenience to obtain
but it is the sentiment, a gift, kind
words or her infectious good humor.
In sunshine and rain, Mrs. Crawford
may be seen at her labor OF love, and
mental tasks are not disdained it by
their accomplishment some good is
accomplished
There was a woman in New Orleans
one time whose love of humanity
prompted her to do the same thing
Mrs. Crawford is doing. She was not
butterfly Of society; nor recognized
as brilliant debater or entertainer.
She was just a plain woman with a
great love for humanity especially
for the little orphans. She ran a
bakery, and died poor because her
heart was too tender to let others
suffer, but the Margaret statue testi-
fies to the reverence and apprecia-
tion-tho belated-entertained by the
people of the Crescent City for this
noble character
The Cemetery association was form
ed for the purpose of identifying
Bellwood, witch is owned by the city.
The appearance of this city of the
dead is evidence that the association
performs it work we'll.

Our
Service.

Organized and controlled by
local capital, this Company has
always considered the interests
of Arkansas and the local cot
ton growing interests above any
other consideration that might
present itself. The majority of
the interested stockholders of
this Company are vitality inter-
ested in the growing and mar
keting of Arkansas River Val
ley cotton. This cotton has a
particular value, from a spin
ming standpoint, not excelled by
any cotton grown in the United
States, the shorter staple cot
ton benefitting from the char
acter and values of the bottom
land or better STAPLES. Cotton
grown in the territory Of Pine
Bluff should be concentrated in
Pine Bluff and thereby better
prices are assured the nlanter.
We invite your consignments
and assure the grower that his
cotton will receive the care and
attention he desires, as our ware
house is the largest cotton ware
house west of the Mississippi
river and is completely covered
and enclosed, eliminating all
possibility Of loss from country
damage and other damage caus-
ed from exposure.

library Is determined that history
shall not be a record of dead things,
but that it shall live. My own idea
has long been that history Is worth
Just as much as old wood and that
we must set ii on fire to give US
warmth and comfort. A jumbled up
stock Of historical dates In mans
brain is no more q sign OF education
than a pile of old scrap iron is an
evidence of wealth. Voltaire said
long ago: "If a man could have the
misfortune to cucumber his head with
the chronological series of all the dy.
nasties which have existed, all his
knowledge would be tumble OF
words"
Here Is where fiction performs its
great work A novel Hike Dfcken's
tale of Two Cities" will give us
better idea of the French revolution
than Carlyle's disjointed harangue. A
novel like Marjorie Bowen's, Il Will
Maintain" will help US more in under
standing the Dutch republic and VII.
liam of Orange and John De Witt than
the ponderous work of Motley.
Catalogue Issued.
To this purpose the Boston public
library has issued a catalogue OF
prose Fiction" with historical refer.
ences. | have used it for years, and
find IL invaluable. 1t catalogues, for
instance, under the head of American
revolution all the works of fiction
LAYING their scenes in this period. II
tells you what historical period each
of SCOTS novels covers. 1t gives you
a. list of novels on Indian wars, on
Colonial days, novels on Rome, on
Greece, on the American Civil war;
in fact, upon every country, every
age and every phase of history.
The old New England Puritans had
no imagination, and that is the reason
thew were so cruel and uncharitable.
To have charity we must put our.
selves in another's place, and we can
not do that without imagination. The
novel and the stage have done more to
promote kindness and humanity than
all the cast-iron creeds since the
world began. And as Christ said OF
little children, "Of such is the king
dom of heaven" SO we must see also
that the plastic mind of the child,
with it's love for the wonderful and
beautiful, its delight in fairy tales and
stories of Frog Princess and Little
Golden Hair and Cinderella, is the
true guide to all wholesome education
and the basis of all true culture.
