 Cardinal Gibbons told them not to boast that they were compatriots of Washing ton and Grant and sherman and Sheri dan, but to go out and make name for themselves-to win wreaths of laurel for their own brows.

 Do these things and God will be with you, and if God is with you who can be against your" said the cardinal.
 The dedication of the Knights of Co., lumbus building followed similar exer- cises in the big auditorium of the Young Mems Christian association.

 M. M Caskie was upon the stand for the intervening cities of Mobile, Birmingham and Montgomery. He crit- icized many of the exhibits filed by the Meridian shippers. MT. Caskie pointed out that the exhibits showed the various interstate scales of rates are as much or more inconsistent with each other as the rate scales from Me- ridian into Alabama compared with rates between points in AlabamA. He said that although the railroad com panies claim if they had their own way they would make rates on a uni- form basis, yet in instances where they have had the opportunity to do SO without governmental restriction they have continued in effect inconsistent and arbitrary differences.

 Before the meeting adjourned, the mayor counseled against delay, be- cause of the possibility that the rail- road might withdraw it's proposal, and that the council might feel dis posed to give aid, instead of the $7,0OO to this district, to other dis tricts whose property owners are anxious to proceed with improve ments. He said the railroads fran chise has 38 years to run, and that he does not believe a more favorable plan will be offered the owners of property in West Fourth avenue.

 The Wortham Shows consist of no
 less than 27 standard attractions. that must not in any way be confused with carnival shows, as they are all of them of superior caliber and many | of them come from the exposition at San Diego, which closed last Decem- Der. They comprise educational fea- lures as well as spectacles and sensa- tional attractions, are absolutely clean in every particular and are pre- | scented with the idea of giving pleas

 Mayor Bloom concluded by saying the proposition "is up to you property owners;;" that he felt it his duty 70 do everything possible to upbuild and improve Pine Bluff, but that he does not propose to flight about it." and if the people most interested, and the most to be benefited, are opposed ,o the improvement, he would cease his efforts to make a beautiful boulevard out of the present unsightly avenue.
 Delay Is Urged.
 No direct opposition was voiced, but delay in undertaking the work was urged by c. H. Triplett, c. H.. Triplett, Jr., and V. c. Alexander, who pointed to presen; conditions as indicating that this is not an oppor- tune time to launch such a project, especially because of the high prices, the uncertainty of transportation fla cilities, and the situation of the bond market. MT.

The Women

The hand that rocks the cradle may rule the world all right, but the wom- an who is competent to handle finan- cial matters is able to take good care of herself which at times may be as important to her, as the question of ruling the world.
 Many women today are good finan- cihrs. They understand all about handling money. Many of them keep their own accounts at our bank. Other women might profitably follow their example. It's fine of course to depend upon husband, father. brother or some other friend to save you the care of handling money matters. but the relative you depend on may not be with you always. What would happen then? We invite all the la dies to open little account with us, no matter how small. The experi- ence will be helpful.
