nicipal indebtedness has been estap- lished. for the maintenance of city government.
 Tn this respect, Pine Bluff IS in d boat with Little Rock, Hot springs Fort Smith, Helena, and otaer ci,ie' and towns of the state, and IS thefs-
 fore interested equally with those
 cities and towns, in urging that the
 legislature enact some law that VIII serve to increase the revenue ot the cities and towns, without increaslns
 the already heavy burden or taXatioh
 mon the property owner.
 Despite this financial handicap, all the cities and towns have had year
 of improvements and betterments' anu .ir' this respect Pine Bluff has held US
 prominent position in most satlslae4 torv style. Streets in Pine Bluff to- dav are in better condition, as a whole. than ever before, and there ls a greater mileage of paved stree,s' and of paved sidewalks, than ever Ill the mast there is a very great III : crease in the number of sewer connec' . lions. only comparatively few houses in the outskirts of the city have no sewer connections, and there is very great increase in the mum her of handsome homes erected dur" ing the year. wear of prohibition apparently has worked to tho financial and moral advantage of Pine Blutt as 1t has m other parts of the state. The de. nleted condition of ths treasurieS or
 the cities and towns is blamed to the
 closing of the saloons, but this is the
 one unfavorable reminder of the tor
 men conditions, and the improvement
 in every other respect has been so pronounced that many of the men
 who firmly opposed prohibition have now become convinced that the open saloon is not desirable, and have stated their intention to oppose any return to the old conditions.
 This Section Fortunate.
 This section of the state has been fortunate during the year which has come to an end although It has not escaped unscathed. In the spring, there was great property damage, some loss of life and con siderable suffering because of the floods in the lowlands along the Ar kansas river. The water reached an unprecedented stage, and great llengths of levee were washed away,
 thousands upon thousands of adres or the richest lands in the world were inundated, and hundreds of nesro tenant farmers were made destitute

SALES SCHOOL
 WELL ATTENDED

McArthur Brothers Sales school had record attendance last night notwith- standing the bad weather. H. E. Dove
 gave talk on Action which con- stitutes the most important part of a sale-that is, getting the name on the dotted line. MT. Dove told a story that drove home his point and he urged the salesman to school himself to recognize
 the opportunity to close sale
 Chas. McArthur read an essay on Interest" by Warren Pitcher of Me Arthur Brothers Douglas branch which
 brought out some pertinent facts. This was followed by J.. D. Harris of the Utility department who talked on Del co Light Mir. Harris was very familiar with this subject as he has sold lots of
 Delco Lights and explained his points
 in clear manner, showing how those who live in the country can have all the | comforts possible through electricity, 1 as those who live in the city. F. B. 1 Baptist also of the Utility department then told of the goodness of 'Isko'' 1 the refrigerating plant for the home, ] that makes one forget his ice box ! troubles in such d manner that every 1 student in the school now thoroughly
 understands the principle of "Isko" and the benefits derived from its use. Moving pictures projected by J. N. Harris from power furnished by the
 .'Delco Light ended what was con ceded to be one of the most interesting
 sessions of the sctool, which is doing much toward the advancement of em- ployes of McArthur Brothers.
 The Sales school meets every Mon day night and practically every em- ploye of McArthur Brothers is en- rolled
