TRIP TO SPRINGDALE
Vi :. j l.. Boaz

/ have beer writer for the News
since 1902. With the exception of about
two years, and last Wednesday, the
29th, was my first trip to Springdale.
And to say that | fell in love with
your beautiful little city would be put
ting it rather mildly.
When we left home Wednesday
morning at seven o'clock, the clouds
were lowering as if it might rain or
snow bfore night, but about 10 o'clock
old Sol began to show his smiling
face, and strong north wind began
to meet US yet We kept travelling on
toward Springdale After going thr-
ough Fayetteville we began to see
the beautiful! orchards Of liberia
peaches and apples, and fields of
strawberry plants, and one thing that
attracted our attention more than any
thing else was beautiful rock fence
around yard out near the Clear
Creek Yalley This fence is at the
home Of Van Pearson, and has been
highly complimented by more than
one traveller passing this way-Ed)
The wall looked to be built of flint
rocks and cement with sharp rock of
all shapes stood end ways, to resemble
pickets, all painted different colors of
red, blue, green, yellow and white,
even the whole wall dotted over with
those lovely colors.
Most every farm we passed be-
tween Fayetteville and Springdale
spoke of thrift and prosperity. All
the orchards, houses and barns look
ed to be well kept, and at one place
we saw nice lot of cattle. To
the west of Us we could see Johnson
lime kilns.
In company with Mr.. and Mrs
John HARRISON and daughter, we
While tire we called at the News
office, and met the pleasant editor,
Guy c. Stafford, who treated us with
the best of courtesy. Come again,
you're always welcome-Ed)
After leaving there we went to the
restaurant and had square meal for
% cents; then called at DR.. Lininger's
office, and was made to feel at home
in her cherry presence. While in
Springdale we also called uron our
old time, friend, Mrs. !. NJ Riggs,
and had very PLEASANT social chat
with her
reached Springdale about II o'clock.
At three o'clock we started for our
home, near Sulphur City, reaching
there about eight o'clock. After eat
ing our supper we retired for the
night to dream of the things we saw
on our first visit to Springdale.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, DEC. g
Recall to the state and demobilizat-
ion of the Arkansas national guard
on the Mexican border at Deming, n.
NJ, is requested in letter sent to-
day by Governor George w. Hays to
Presidnt Wilson. Declaring that h
believes the nilsson of the Arkansas
troops to the border has been full
filled, the governor asserts his belief
that futher service there will work
hardship on the rank and file of
privates in the guardsmen. The
governor raped officers of the mil
tia, who he said for personal agg-
randizement" desires to continue the
service OF the militia on the border.
The governor expects an answer to
his letter next week
The Arkansas guardsmen were
modified on June IS, when the presi-
dent sent out his call for the guard
of the nation. They entrained for
the border on August 10, and have
since been at Dening, n. NJ.

XMAS FIRE DANGER
Approach of the Holiday Season Will
Bring Extra Fire Hazards Which
May Be Avoided With Attention to
Christmas Decorations.

at may be expected that Arkansas
will experience dangerous fires dur
ing the Christmas season. We know
we are going to have fires, we know
how to prevent them but with our A
merican optimism we figure that
they are not going TO harm u.s." So
says a Christmas fire prevention cir
cular issued by the Actuarial Bureau,
of Little Rock, which says:
"The approaching Christmas sea-
son always gives the firemen and
fire prevention authorities cause for
apprehension 1t is not merely the
blazes that are caused by careless
handling of Christmas tree decora-
tons, and by the too close proximity
of Christmas candles and Santa
Claus whiskers of cotton, but unusual
hazards are caused weeks ahead of
Christmas by holiday display win
dows.
Electric engineers employed by the
Association of Western Inspectors to
investigate the dangers to merchants
and to the public through the hazards
of Holiday decorations give expert
advice from which the following is
taken:
Owing to the prevalent use Of high
candle power lamps the danger that
always attends the exposure Of pa
per shades or other eombustible ma
terial to the heat of incandescent
lamps has been greatly increased.
This danger is always greater in the
window enclosures or other con
fined spaces where the ventilation is
poor.
Wires used as supports for mer-
ehandise are liable to become alive if
attached to lighting fixtures from
which current may leak..It. IS there
fore important that all wires and sup
ports used for this purpose shall be
suspended from structures that are
mechanically secure and not liable to
electrical arrangement
1t is especially desirable that a.
temporary wiring in the vicinity Of
the display shall be mechanically and
electrically secure and kept out Of
reach of the careless or iaauisitive
shopper.
Many fires in show windows and
display rooms are caused by small

HOME BY CHRISTMAS
Arkansas Guards at Deming Expect
To Spend Holidays With Hene
Folks-All in Good Shape After
Long Hike.

The boys on the border at Deming
are watching with considerable inter
est the newspaper reports of the ayr
cement reached by the American and
Mexican commissioners. If the agre-
ement is accepted by both governments
and General Pershing's troops are
withdrawn from Mexico they will
probably be brought to Deming and
that may mean the release of the
miIitiamen stationed here. It IS a
general feeling here that the regi.aents
will be home Christmas, but that
opinion is based largely on the desires
of the men. Nothing definite is or
can be known until orders are received.
But the Arkansas boys are constan-
tly thinking of horne and at almost
any time of the day SOMEBODY is yell
ing the old cry, Going home" One
of the men made horn from a long
one found on cows skull, and the
other night he began to blow it..
Instantly men all through the regi-
meats began calling hounds and max
ing other indications that they were
going 'possum hunting-like they do
at home.
Boys Recover After Hike
As far as the Arkansas regiments
are concerned. the III effects of the
hike have passed away, and there IS
very little sickness and no serious
cases at all Major Bradford who
mas been in the base hospital, treating
bad cold, is back for duty and in

scared lot when the spinal meningitis

They came back TO Deming, were

commands
The Springdale news., 1916-12-08

The local High School team of girls
basket ball has played two games with
Rogers, winning one and losing one,
and should be considered as contend
ers for the championship of this sec
ton. Lowell has not as yet played
the local team, and the claim on the
championship would seem a little
premature without their first taking
the locals into camp. A game should
be arrangd between Lowell and
Springdale at an early date.

surprised this week when the appoint

that It was anticipated He expects

most the same charge from which he

familiar as the greater part of his
ministry has been spent in that dis
triet.
Rev. A. H. Dulaney, of Luxora, has
been appointed to the charge in
Springdale, and is expected some time
this week. He is comparative
stranger to Springdale people. 1t
was rumored here shortly before the
melting of the conference that efforts
would be made to have Rv. A. l..

they were of little avail as he was
