FORDIHG ACROSS COUNTRY
The Argus Motor Begins Its Cross Country Trips, Seeing the Country
 in a Ford"

number One' went out of Brink ley on its first cross country trip of the 1916 season on Saturday last and headed for Prosperity Center" Hunter.
 The trip to Zent was made without a stop. The pretty young women who teach the Zent school were busy in an ex- cited game of tennis on the pretty green lawn of the school and not wishing to disturb Misses Bryant and Scott we rambled along.
 On every side the plowmen were busy and practically every field looked as if they were fighting with increased energy to have an ideal crop.
 At "Edgewood" the pretty rice ranch of Albert Francis. 4 miles north of Zent, the hustling Francis family were all busy clearing and cleaning prepara- tory to making every foot of ground count.
 A short step at the home of Mir. and Mrs. Homer Strickler found the former popular Brink ley girl, Miss Minnie Pipkin, now Mrs. S.) busy with yard full of pretty White Rocks and little son, Fred, king of lem all. Homer is putting in a crop of rice and reports the pumping plant, machinery and everything ready.
 At Hunter there was the same cheerful boosting spirit that l always found so helpful and pleasant on my trips last year. The Hunter Drug Co.,, had been expanded into a full pledged mercantile establishment and in addition they have added the Woodruff County Agency of the Overland Auto and w. D. Mathis, the young man" ot the firm, has already sold , cars.
 Mayor Oris Penrose said Hook here Folsom, don't run that Arkansas on Wheels train out of Arkansas until November. want to go and just can't get oil if it runs any earlier. It's the greatest pieces of advertising Arkansas has ever had. "
 Jas. Engle, a Monroe county man, who started in rice grow ing last season has gone in on much larger scale this year and is now one of the proprietors of the Prairie View Rice & Land Co.,, with w. P. Dawson. They have a 4S0 tract and will have 225 acres of rice, all of which land is plowed ready for seeding.

MAYORS OBJECTION TO SUNDAY
CONCERTS NOT CONSCIENTIOUS
Says City Is Without Financial Means
to Pay for Luxury"

Mayor Smith today explained his OPP
position to making any appropriation for
free Sunday concerts by the Philadelphia
Orchestra on economic and not on con-
sclentious grounds. The city, he said,
can not afford luxury of this kind under
present financial conditions.
Discussing the plan to have the city ap-
propriate $4,000 for Sunday concerts to
be given next winter, the Mayor said:
II have no objection on conscientious
grounds to the giving OF the concerts. but
am opposed to the city spending $4,000
in this way How to find the money Is
the question in the way. AS a matter of
fact we have no money for such a pur-
pose. There is another thought In my
mind and that is that we have no right
TO tax the many for the benefit of the
few. There is no theatre in Philadelphia
large enough TO hold very many people.
and an appropriation or a fund for con-
certs would result in using money derived
from taxing the whole city for the pleas
ure and benefit OF comparatively small
number. Those are my only grounds for
opposing the plan to have the city appro-
pirate money for this cause"

beauty with hard facts which fancy
phrases could not deny.
What If man were drowning" said
the tongue champions: could a woman
save him with her eyes or smile? All,
no. 'twould be much better II she un.
leashed n scream for help
Then, getting down to other practical
views, one of the oral advocates pointed
out that beauty was only skin deep, where.
as medical authorities will agree that
the tongue Is six inches or more-accord-
ing to the womans vocabulary and
temper.
And as to durabIllty-then came tho
finishing squelch. Those who stood back
of the tongue reminded their hearers that
a tongue is protected from the rain, the
snow the sun and the wind-but as to
the face, it is out In the open and actually
gets tired from the ravages OF time.
AS last effort the affirmative referred
to the beauty of Cleopatra, but could not
show that her beauty was used to any
real advantage.
would a mother have time to write
all the reprimands when Tommy splashed
through his soup at the table?" Just then
the vote was taken, and it resulted in n
decided victory for those who defended the
efficiency of the tongue. But one vote was
recorded against them.
The speakers on the affirmative side of
the debate, that is, the advocates of the
potency of woman's beauty. were A. P.
Hausman. the Rev. Orlando T. Stewart
and c. Oscar Beasley. The victorious
champions of the power of the feminine
tongue included Harold Loeb, the Rev.
Samuel Williams and the. Rev. w. e. p.
Haas.

prAUTY OF LOVELY WOMAN ECLIPSED
BY ELOQUENCE OF HER TONGUE
Why a Wontan's Tongue Is
More Eloquent Than Beauty

Beauty may fade away, but who
ever heard of woman's tongue
wearing out?
The persuasive tongue outweighs
the nagging tongue.
The last organ to be stilled in a
dying woman is her tongue.
The woman with an active or
gan of speech is not necessarily a
shrew.
If a man were drowning, what
would he rather see, a beautiful
face or lively tongue that could
yell "help."
How few women are beautiful,
yet all have tongues.
Beauty is only skin deep, but a
tongue is six inches from tip to
root.
A tongue is protected from the
ravages of age, but a face suffers
from the seasons.
1t matters little how beautiful
she may be if she has no tongue to
say yes.
