PINE BLUFF ENJOYS
 FREEDOM OF SMOKE
With Everyone Using Gas and Flee. tricity, City without, SOOt
 and CinderS.
(By Adele Bluthenthal.)

(By Adele Bluthenthal) We who have lived in Pine Bluff all our lives do not appreciate the cleanliness and beauty of our home
 surroundings. Pine Bluff is smoke
 less city. Even our editor admits that it has escaped his notice until his at
 tention was called to it by a stranger The only smoke that a stranger is able to find is the smoke of the en-
 zine that brings him here. ! The heating and cooking in our
 homes is done by gas. Our factories
 in the city proper are run by gas en- zines or electricity. Those mills tha. do use wood are outside the city linn it's, thus leaving our residential dis 'tricts free from smoke and cinders except the little that comes from the trains. The smokeless condition brings with it an atmosphere neces- sarily more healthful and beneficial to the residents.
 Wake up! Wake up Pine Bluff people to a keener appreciation of your own home town.
