WHY NOT SECURE CANNON
 FOR OUR CITY PARK!
HELEN GIBSON in THE HAUNTED STATJoNn

Do any Arkansas cities want obso- lete cannon as ornaments for thef parks? They can get them for from $100 to S200 each, by making appll- cation to Wm .Crozier, Brig-Gen. and Chief of Ordnance of the U, S' Army. Ali the old iron cannon nave already been given away. and the bronze and brass cannon are too vaiu- able as old metal to be donated. But obsolete cannon balls can be seeufeu free of cost, on condition that lne freight is pald to the point of delV- cry.

81 am not saying anything about the
navy because I don't want to go to sea.
l want to stick to the one theme to-
night because for some reason there
is not the same controversy about the
navy there is about the army. The
navy is obvious and easily understood.
The army apparently is very difficult
to comprehend and understand. We
have traditional prejudice against
armies which makes us stop thinking
the minute we begin talking about
them and We suppose that there can
not be an American system in this
instance, but that it must be the Eu-
ropean system and that is what I, for
one, am trying to divest my own mind
of. The navy is so obvious an instru-
ment of national defense that believe
that with the differences of opinion
about detail it is not going to be diff
cult to carry out proper and reason
able program for the increase Of the
navy.
