of whom seem to have done well in the

Officers and Men of Different Types.
There is enough difference between
the soldiers and their officers con-
tinued Mr.. Schellens, ito make them
seem of a different race. The soldiers
rather tall, of different type of fea
lures. In fact, the soldiers are the real
Bulgarian stock, while the officers are
largely of foreign intermixture. And
the difference in character is just as
marked. The soldiers did many kind
nesses to the Serbian unfortunates
when their officers were not about.
But the officers are brutal toward the
civil population and, most of all. the
| Serbs. They are under definite in
structions to make life unbearable to
the Serbs, so they will Vacate this

garia claims it was cheated after the
| second Balkan war. No discrimina-
ton is shown against the remaining
Turkish population, however.

Systematically about the work of Gre

exorbitant price. The weather was
terribly cold. But in addition to these
miseries the Serbian homes were de-

opinion of the American built boats,
approximately the navy II class, now
in the British service. Admiral Grant
said the fact that these boats had been
able to cross the Atlantic under their
own power did not influence him to
change his mind as to the future of
the American submarines should be.
The task of submerging a longer boat
such as the 800 craft was delicate
one, he admitted and more complicated
than handling the III boats. but the
advantages Of the larger craft more
than outweighed this in his mind
Representative Stevens Of Califor-
MIA said asked:
isn't it true that there are but three
submarines to defend the whole Pacific
coast
That is true" Admiral Grant said.

Admiral Grant pointed out that with
three effective, mobile submarines n
the Pacific coast and four more at
Honolulu, there were more of the

than in protecting the Atlantic, where
he said, only five of these mobile boats

The accompanying sketch of the
Sam. M. Levine, who, as one of the
younger members of the Pine Bluff
bar, is rapidly advancing in the prac-
tice of his profession. Locating il
this city only three years ago, he
qualified for practice in the state SUI
preme and federal courts, and for
several months engaged in practice
by himself. He then became as
ISOLATED with former prosecuting at
torney, T. Havis Nixon, in the firm of
Nixon G. Levine, which, recently en-
bracing another member in the per-
son of Coy M. Nixon, has become
Nixon. Levine & Nixon.
Mr.. Levine is a native of Louisiana,
having been born on a plantation sew
eral miles below New Orleans. For
several years he lived in Bonham.
Texas, and it was there that he re-
ceived his high school education,
completing his course with distinction.
He secured academic college training
at Tulane university of New Orleans,
from which institution he graduated
with highest honors in 1911, obtain
ing the A. B. degree. There he
established a reputation as a debater
and public speaker, successfully
representing his university in a de-
bate with the University of Georgia.
AS mark of his excellent scholar
ship and extra-curricular activity,
there was conferred on him member
ship in the Phi Beta Kappa national
honorary society, the oldest college
fraternity in the country. This is y
distinction enjoyed by but very few
college graduates in this state. Large
ly through his own efforts, he pur-
sued the study of the law at Column
bia university, New York city, in 1913
receiving both tho master of arts and
bachelor of law degrees, ranking
among the leading students in class
of 200.
Attracted to this state by its bounti-
full resources and unusual opportuni-
ties Afforded young men, Mr.. Levine
established himself here in the fall
of 1918. He has since then gained a
splendid reputation as member OF
his profession, and has manifested
keen interest in all things affecting
Pine Bluff and this section of the
state. Demonstrating his ability as
well-trained student of the law, as
young man of most pleasing and eff
fective personality and exemplary
habits, he bids fair to attain rank as
one of the leading attorneys Of the
state.

Love of Cultured People for
Things Beautiful Shown
by Dwelling and Sur
roundings.

Pine Bluff is a city of beautiful
homes. Many of the handsome struc
lures erected here would be calico
beautiful in any surroundings in the
world. The Pine Bluff country is ONE
in which all vegetation flourishes, ane
this makes it possible for beautiful
lawns and landscapes to add to the at
Effectiveness of these homes. Ano
some of the prettiest places are those
erected by people Of modest means
Money can erect house, but it re-
quires love, taste and care to make
of it beautiful home.
There are palatial-like places in
Pine Bluff, and there are honey little
bungalows. The way they are kept
up, the flowers and ferns and lawns
show all are occupied by people of
taste, and love of neat, delightful sur
roundings. Hundreds of these homes
have been erected in the past few
years, tho here and there will be not
ed homes one instinctively feels have
been occupied by families whose mem
bers are numbered among the old resi-
dents of Pine Bluff-people who help
ed make history when country was
being reconstructed. And one knows,
too, from the prosperous city that they
did their work well.
It would require columns to tell Of
all the beautiful homes in Pine Bluff.
To give list of the owners would be
almost like reproducing the city di-
rectory, for nearly all who live in Pine
Bluff have unbounded faith in the
city's future and they have located
here with the intention of making their
stay permanent. This is a condition
that tends to encourage the building
Of attractive homes.
Building activities never cease in
Pine Bluff. Homes are being erected
and others improved right along. Dur
ing 1914, and early part of 1915, when
nearly every other part of the country
suffered depression, Pine Bluff con-
tinued its work of building
homes, business buildings, streets,
sidewalks and other improvements.
And numerous other houses and i'm
provements are planned for the near
future
The love of Pine Bluff for the beau
tiful is shown in the many attractive
avenues and streets, lined with stately
trees, and by the manner in which
these trees are cared for. Nothing
tends more to make a residence street
attractive than well-kept trees. Such
streets abound in Pine Bluff, and al
ways excite the admiration of the Wis
tors from cities giving less thought to
attractive home surroundings.
The planting of shrubbery and palms
is another factor in the creation of
honey surroundings, and even the few

Besides crushing cotton seed, the

LOCAL MEN SUCCEED
IN OIL BUSINESS
Southern Oil Company's Volume of
Trade Constantly Increasing as
Result of Fair Methods.

One Of the most successful local
firms is the Southern Oil company,
owned and operated by N. A. Ander-
son and David Zehnsr. The plant, is
located in West Fifth avenue, adjoin-
ing the Cotton Belt tracks, and being
equipped with all modern appliances
for transferring oils, is enabled to
serve the public with dispatch and
lowest possible cost.
The Southern Oil company has been
established seven years, and the busi.
ness has grown steadily. A feature Of
the service offered by the firm is the
delivery by auto trucks of oils, gaso-
lenes and greases to dozen or more
places in this vicinity. The trucks OPP
crate on a regular schedule, serving
regularly Noble Lake, Moscow, Tamo,
Grady, Detxer, Jefferson Springs, Red

Furth and Youngstown.
For the convenience of automobile
users, a re-filling station has been
placed in front of the company's plant,
and has proved popular.
The combination of service. quality
and values offered by the Southern
Oil company, and the further fact that
it is owned and managed by home peo-
pie, has obtained for the company a
large and growing patronage.-Advt.
