New State Song and Its Author

Arkansas" the new state song by Mrs. Eva Ware Bar nett of Little Rock, is growing in popularity all over the coun- try. It is being sung at con certs, entertainments, picnics and banquets. Both words and music were written by Mrs. Barnett. The air has lurking melody that will make it a ia vorite wherever it is heard. Prof. W M. Ramsey is arrang- ing it for a male quartet, and it will soon be heard in some Of the Little Rock theaters. The song follows:
 ARKANSAS. l am thinking tonight of the
 Southland,
 Of the home of my childhood
 days,
 Where l wandered through the
 woods and the meadows, By the mill and the brook that
 plays;
 Where the roses are in bloom, And the sweet magnolia, too; Where the jasmine is white And the fields are violet blue. f There welcome awaits all her
 children
 Who have wandered far from
 home.
 Chorus. Arkansas, Arkansas, 'tis a name { 'Tis a name I call Home, s

DOG IN THE MANAGER.

The Ruby Record Citizen is au- lgloo, No 5, Pioneers of Alaska has entered a protest against the selection of Cinema Hot Springs fo.' home site, and favors some one of the more accessible and con veniently situated springs along or near the Yukon, and the Record Citizen is backing them up in their protest.
 That paper says the Cinema Hot Springs is not the right place for the home. It they have a better place, why don't they name it. in stead of speaking in generalities.
 Those who have been to the springs pronounce 1t the ideal spot In Alaska for the location of the home, and the member of the con- mittee who visited the springs for the purpose of investigation pro nounced 1t the best place in the whole of Alaska. and he knows Alaska better than any other man in the territory.
 Just because the springs happen to be located nearer Fairbanks than Ruby is evidently the cause of the protest. Over 300 Pioneers in Fair banks endorse the selection of the committee. while not over 15O could protest against 1t from Ruby
 If the Record-Citizen can pick a better place they should have done so long ago. A protest at this late hour might delay the selection, and if the appropriation is to be made at all 1t must be done within a short time, otherwise the act will become void. Should the time limit lapse it will be long time before an other appropriation would be made. on account of the law makers from the coast having had a change of heart. If 1t ;s only the location of the home they are fighting, it would be we'll to let the matter drop. If it be Fairbanks instead. let the merry war continue
