$4,000 SAVED FOR THE CITY.
Piping and Hydrants for Our Water
System Would Cost That Much
More IL Purchased Now.

A rather remarkable development Of
recent advances in the prices OF al
most everything is that of the saving
OF $4,000 to the water works system
of Harrison by the purchase Of piping,
etc, the first of the year, as against
what it would cost us today.
The following letter from the con-
tractor, who is figuring on a similar
plant in Kansas, explains itself:
Moran, Kans., Dec. is, 1916.
Mr.. W. F. Gordon,
Harrison, Arkansas,
You may be interested to learn that
the price Of cast iron pipe has inCreas-
ed so that on present basis you saved
$4,000 on pipe alone, another $500 on
hydrants and valves, and a large
amount on pumps and engines.
And further, no deliveries on pipe
are offered before February l5
You would have lost money to have
delayed your work thirty days.

THE "siGN OF THE CROSS"
James Francis O'Donnell, An Artist
of National Fame, Will Be
Here on January I.

The first number of Harrisons
Lyceum course for 1917, will be given
on the evening of the first day of the
new year, Monday, January /, at the
Presbyterian church.
This entertainment is much out Of
the ordinary, as indicated by the splen-
did success Mr.. O'Donnell has achiev-
ed before the discriminating audiences
of all the larger cities.
Twenty years on the American plat
form presenting his monologue plays,
has given to Mr.. O'Donnell the per
lection of technique that time and ex-
perience can alone impart. He ar
ranges all Of his own dramas, elimi.
mating every word or phraze that
might be considered detrimental or
Objectionable to morals, nationality, or
creed. In the latter respect, his entire
repertoire is purely non-partisan. He
presents his leading monologue, Will,
son Barretts famous drama, THE
Sign of the Cross" in full Roman cos
tune; and the audience in response to
his art beholds a theatrical production
enacted as though fully equipped
company held the boards. His roper
toire, which consists Of ten complete
evenings entertainment QnCluding q
laCture) each Of one hour and one
half duration, runs the whole gaTnut Of
human expression, and covers a broad
field of the worlds best literature.
Born on the banks Of the Bronx
IN. ~ and bred in New York city,
it is no wonder that Mr. O'DOhnell,
living in the atmosphere of such i'm.
mOrtelles Of the legitimate drama as
Booth, Barrett, Mccullough, Forrest
and Keene, all unconsciously absorbed
their style, and is possessed Of the
true dramatic instinct Mr.. O'Donnell
is booked from coast to coast and gulf
to gulf by the leading lyceum bu-
reaus."
Tickets for this evening alone, or
the entire course may be had of John
Sugg, at Glines jewelry store

Bills are being drawn by the Anti
Saloon League, to be introduced early
in the legislative session, for the fur
ther restriction and regulation Of IL
uuOr shipments into the state. This
is in line with the movement started
by Randall of Louisiana in congress,
to prohibit the use of the mails in the
solicitation of liquor orders.
The bill which the Arkansas Gen
eral Assembly will be asked to pass is
modelled after the law now in effect
in Mississippi. 1t restricts shipments
Of liquor in various ways, and pro-
hibits the circulation Of advertising
matter for liquor houses, through the
medium Of newspapers, picture shows
or otherwise II also provides that
town or city councils may by ordi-
nance provide for the inspection Of
liquor shipments by freight express
or otherwise, prescribing a fee for the
same, AS conditions now exist, the
saloon has only changed its location,
to some point outside the state,
whence it solicits business by mail,
and makes delivery by freight or ex-
press without paying any revenue

seems to be in favor Of making the

Statistics compiled by the State
Health Officer, from the imperfect
records which It is possible to secure
under the present law for the collec-
ton Of vital statistics, some interest
ing facts may be deduced. II is es-
timated that only about 10 per cent
OF the births and deaths were report
ed The reports, however, that have
been received, come from every cou.-
ty in the state, and give an accurats
idea OF the relative prevalence OF the
various diseases. There we're 1868
deaths from tuberculosis, Of which
1863 were white and 1906 were negro.
Pneumonia caused 1896 deaths, mals-
ria 1869, and various other diseases
were responsible for other deaths. II
is apparent that the colored race is
much more susceptible to tuberculo/
sis than the white.
THE Great White Plague" L-~s
causes more deaths than any other
one disease. While there are more
deaths from pneumonia than from ma
laria, the mortality from pneumonia is
about 10 per cent, while that OF mala-
ria is less than half of one per cent.
The typhoid death rate is also about
10 per cent.
DR.. C. w. Garrison points out the
legal and prejudicial handicaps in the
way of building up an effective public
health service in Arkansas, and makes
important suggestions for changes In
the law. He says:
THE ideal public health service
would be a full time County Health
Officer in each county whose duty 1t
would be to conserve the public health
of tie county, and devote no time tn
the pnctice of medicine. The ap-
pointment Of local health officers

Little Rock will again this year
take an active lead in the Arkansas
Profitable Farming campaign, which
will have for its purpose meetings in
all rural localities to show the planter
the fallacy of planting all cotton.
Plans are now being perfected ter

this the public utilities Of the state
will take a leading part. The South
western Telegraph and Telephone Co.
has informed the directors Of the cam
paign that its lines are open to them
at all times, and instructions have
been given that on the day when
meetings are to be held, the operators
at the exchange nearest the meeting
place call every rural telephone sub
scriber, tell him OF the meeting and
insist upon his presence. This will

this represented a thousand wagon
loads hauled thirty miles to the rail

ton for the haul, or $4,000 In the
aggregate this ore brought $50,0CO,
most Of which money was spent here

When the price CT zinc began to
soar, early in 1915, and the older zinc
fields Of the country were taxed TO
capacity, capital quickly turned to
North Arkansas, with the result that
the production Of zinc ores in that,
region increased in value from about
$4,000 in 1914 to nearly $450000 in
1915, a gain Of GOO per cent, This
phenomenal production still contin-
ues, in spite Of the fact that the bulk
of the ore concentrates have to be
hauled by wagon to the railroad, ten
to eighteen miles distant, over rough
and hill roads-E. f. Burchard, OF the
