Ever See 5 Mark
 On A Tombstone

In glancing over daily paper the other day we found the not ice of a farmers's death and in the obituary a paragraph that seems worth passing on:
 For twelve years Mir. Mitch ell has been chairman of the To- cal school committee, giving his whOle-hearted support to the school-the education of the youth of Rolesville being his one great ambition. It is generally conceded that to him is due the credit for the fact that the school is the social center of the community that it is today"
 And the gratifying fact is that all over the South we have an increasing number of men and women who. when their obit- uaries are written, will likewise have 1t said of them that they did not live for self alone, but did something worthy and speci- tic for the good of the commun- ity. There has always been a desire among our people to help the community, but until lately it hasn't found adequate means of expression. A dollar mark is something you never see on a tombstone" says Dr. D. w.. Daniels, A man may give his life to making money, but he wants something better said of him when he dies. " And now with all the new forward move ments in the South, a man may easily work so that this some thing better may be said. Ask yourself what unselfish move ments you are helping forward.

that their company is desired and appreciated as well as their bushes. Such an effort system atically put forth and sustained, will create a feeling of cordiality and friendship that will link the entire community together in in- dissoluble bonds, and a true c0m- munity of interests will be main- aimed.
 In order that one may not bear more than his prorata share of the expense of such an under taking, the expenditure of erec- tion and maintenance should be made from the town funds. and and the custodians should be appointed and paid by the local authorities.
 Such evidence of thoughtful ness and consideration are bring Ing rich returns to other towns
 Why not to this one!

A Big Audience

The afternoon recital was well attended and was more especial for the little folks with some of the older ones to help out.
 At the evening recital the large auditorium was filled to capacity. The representative people of Ozark and many from the country people who wanted to show their appreciation of the excellent years work Miss Ben son has given her pupils-were in attendance. The recital re- flected credit to both teacher and pupils. It would be impos- sible to comment individually on each number, but can say each
 y a nd girl did creditably his. or her, part.
 Miss Sula Kate is a musician of much natural ability and her two recitals Friday with the tiny tots and the more advanced pu- pills, was made possible by close application throughout the past year. From a musical stand point the recital was clearly above that of the usual recitals. Miss Benson has proven her abi- lity as teacher of music more than once in Ozark and is equal to high class work in any place.

Silver Service Fund
Search me! Ed.

Miss Janice Johnston secured $13. 50 for the silver service fund for the U. s. battleship Arkan- sas. a very good donation from the business men of this city.
 Through the efforts of Mrs. D. M. McGraw. Altus donated $5. co.
 While this is a much smaller sum than other counties are sending in. we feel that Frank lin county is not less patriotic than other counties. but has not been organized for this especial work. Our public school chil- dren had no opportunity for a part.
 We have heard of one little boy at Morrilton who sold old iron and brought in 75 pennies. His teacher told him not to give it all but he stoutly held out his hand and said. No. ma'am, l want to help in that, take the 10 cents, anyway. If every brave little heart in Ozark who loves the ship named for his native state. had had an opportunity he, too, would have given hard earned pennies. and Franklin county would have sent in a larger donation.
 The following names are con tributors in Ozark to the silver service.

 Who is our Deputy County Judge now. or have we any. or if not, what shape is our county in?
 A neighbor was asking me the other day if he wanted to change a road if needed, or a piece of new road, how would he pro- ceed to get it; if any one, while the judge was gone, who would appoint the viewers. I told him no one was legally competent to attend to his business. that a sheriff. or 2 clerk could appoint deputies to transact business in their offices, but that a judge could not.

Town Improvement
 Suggestions

prosper must bear we'll in mind one important fact it must put forth a determined and united effort to secure and hold the friendship and patronage of the farming interests of the sur rounding territory.
 Occasionally you will find a town which, by reason of manu- featuring interests and other causes, is partially independent of neighborhood support, but such towns are the exception and not the rule. The logical way to secure and hold the loyal support of the surrounding coun- try IS by extending a similar ioy- alty and by putting into practice real community of interests.
 The town that sees only the money to be gotten out of the farmers is due to wake up some morning and find that the farm CT trade has been switched to some other point. What we must learn Is that the trade of any section of country will go first, to the center that makes the best bid; and second, to the place that puts forth an effort to make conditions pleasant for the traders. There are many ways in which a town can at tract trade, and they all are combined under one general re- quisite that we make conditions profitable, pleasant and comfor- table for the customers.
 Every town of any pretensions should have a place set apart as an assembly room, where cus- toners from out of town can congregate and find shelter from the weather and warmth and comfort in winter. In fact, two such rooms should be provided, one for women and the other for men, and should be fitted with modern conveniences. If the town is not able to maintain two such rooms. by all means give preference to the women, as the men can more easily shift for themselves. 1t is also a good plan to have these rooms sup piled with newspapers and other periodicals, and many towns are now installing respectable lib- raries in their rest rooms.
 But right at this point is where the plan fails in some towns. The writer has in mind a town which has a splendid rest room, fitted up at considerable expense. But instead of being made sanctuary for visitors who come in from the country and really need the convenience 1t affords, 1t is turned into a meeting and loafing place for all the idle boys and girls of the town, and out of town people are not made to feel the welcome which should be theirs. This ob- jectionable feature should be eli minated through an iron clad rule agains professional loafers of the town.
 Another matter that should claim our attention is to see that every visitor is provided shelter for his team. True, the car has displaced the horse to some ex- tent, but the latter is still large ly in evidence in the country dis tricts, and the average man would as soon suffer discomforts himself as to neglect his horse. Some towns have abandoned the old hitching racks and have erected commodious public sheds and barns capable of sheltering almost any number of animals. And they find that it pays large dividends.

HAIG'S ARMY TAKES

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, We'd nesday March 14-Genera Sir Douglas Haigs first line troops watched the rise this morning from the prom ised and as the long ridge northwest of Bapaume has been known since the battle of the Somme began last July. sv~t
 This ridge passed into the hands of the British reg- ments yesterday along front of three and oneha miles, when they drove the Germans from their main defensive system west of Bapaume charged through Loupart wood and seized the village of Grevilers within mile and quarter of Bapaume
 There is general feeling of relief evident every where back of the lines the success of the drive which marks the end of the uphill struggle Now, for the first time since the great struggle to hur back the Germans along the western front opened the British occupy the hghest ground and can look down upon the famous Ger man stronghold and wide expanse of country beyond
 British officers believe that they are now in posi- ton to take Bapaume whenever the word given as 1t will be down hill charge.
