PARKlNSON-KECK.

Married on Monday evening last, at
the temporary residence Of the pastor
with c. V. Caster, Don Parkinson to
Miss Gertrude Keck, Rev. |. w. Tor
renee officiating The young couple
went at once to the Parkinson farm
just southwest Of the city which will
be their future home.
Mr.. Parkin son of Mr.. and Mrs. 0.
/. Parkinson, is a graduate of the Kan
sas Agricultural College, and one of
our most promising young farmers.
Miss Keck, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Lewis Keck, is one of Harrison's
sweetest and best girls. She took
course as trained nurse, but probably
decided that, the war being over home
life would be more attractive.
The heartiest good wishes and con-
gratulations Of our people iG extended

VANCEMENT IN 1919 OR FALL
DEFINITELY BEHIND WHILE
OTHERS MOVE FORWARD.

The man schooled by early hard
ship in business. farming or other lines
is apt TO exaggerate the virtue of econ
omy 70 sach an extent that his coaacr
vatism loses more money for him than
il makes. Like the man who in order
not to do wrong does nothing, his neg
ative policy becomes an evil not only
to himself but his community.
The merchant who lets his stock
run down until it is unattractive, the
farmer who struggles along withou
adequate tools, stock or buildings, the
professional man who permits himself
and his office to run down at the
heels may all be extremely economi-
cal, but by their economy are destroy
ing all prospect for future profit.
Politically the same false theory
may affect communities, counties and
states. rctarding public advancement
and wasting money where the allah
sorbing idea is to save. Arkansas and
Boone county have just illustrated this
policy by the rejection of the new con-
stitution Shrewd politicians, who de.
sired its defeat for entirely differcE5
reasons, very industriously scattered
amongst the voters the idea that j.
meant more taxes, and Immediately
the men who count economy as their
cardinal virtue lost sight of the many
benefits and real tax-saying proposi-
tions and not only voted but worked
for its defeat

most careful study by our people
Coming into the consideration Of our
road situation just now will be found
the same obscessiou on the part Of
many really wel-meaning citizens.
They want good roads, and in some
instances wish to be considered as
good roads boosters, but their vision Of
the general welfare is badly beclouded
by their ideas of economy and dread OF
taxation Already they have lost TO
Boone county the state and govern
mcnt aid for 1918, some $4,000, sum
many times as large as all their taxes
would aggregate. and should their
ideas prevail in the future we viii reg
ularly lose large sums of state and
ynrnment aid while other counties
by q more liberal policy will be- out
stripping us in this most vital line OF
improvement.
In the interest Of this false economy
some Of our people would cheaper the
road itself by weak and hap-hazard
construction But government and
state authorities wisely forbid this. No
aid will be given to roads which are
not standard; here again the policy of
false economy falls down; if we wish
to build roads faulty in their plans or
construction we must do so wholly at
our own expense, making the cost
quite as much to us as the standard
roads
In the promising year of 1919 let us
hope that our people generally will
permit their ideas to expand rather
than contract in personal as well as
public matters, and that they will
cease to delude themselves with the
withering false economy which so fre-
Quently costs more than it saves.

LITTLE ROCK NEWS LETTER
(By Ciol HarpeT)


Little Rock Dec PA small num-
Der of the people Of Arkansas voting
on the most vital question that has
been submitted to them in generations,
by a pitifully small vote of about 1000
majority, defeated the proposed Con
stitution.
Every man you talk to has a differ
ent explanation of its defeat, basel
wholly upon his own preiudices and
hobbies, and all Of them are in a mea-
sure right
It was not Suffrage, or Prohibition
or the ]. & R., or the Bond Issue, or the
Increase in Salaries, or the Two More
Supreme Judges, or the two.thirdS jury
verdict, or the Quadrennial Elections,
or the Omission of the Indefinite Ar
ticle "a" in some obscure section that
defeated the Constitution Of 1918. But
it was a little bit OF all OF them.
And back of it all, and dGcper-rooted
than these eXtraneous issues lies prob
ably that which is nearer the real
cause, and if the opponents Of the in
strument are honest with themselves
they will admit it. And that is the
innate fear of increased taxation The
average voter has a horror Of paying
more taxes, and it is often true that
the man who is able and willing to
pay more is protected by the vote of the
man who seldom pays more Nthan q
poll tax
In fact, there are some otherwise in
telligent people who oppose all tax.

attorney who recently made the state

war that will be fought will be to take
off the yoke of taxation in this cOun.

How far such reactionary sentiments
as these contributed to the defeat Of
the Constitution doesn't matter.
What we are to consider now is that
the defesk2f the Constitution did not

1t has been rumorod that an effort
will be made to have the Legislature
re.submit the Constitution. Just how
this could be done does not appear,
but distinguished lawyers say that it
can be done.

honest compliment as something to be
grateful for
Take pains to be faithful and CON
scientious in business, It will bring

of a small mind to notice trifles.
Take hold Of any work that comes
to your hand rather than be idle Luck
always waits upon the busy man
Take time to be polite and kind al
ways. Rudeness never pays, the boor
may think so out he is wrong.

that it will bring you no regrets.
Take time, young man, to go out

pany for you than that o,her girl who
fIirts with you so desperately
Take the sunshine into your life as
something to be grateful gor; don't
darken it with shadows of your own
making Trouble will come soon
enough without your coming it.
Take your wife and children with
you when you go out to be amused
That is not a proper amusement for
you that you cannot take your wife to
and you know it,
Take as much care Of your money
as you can, if your means'are limited;
but don't try to save your smiles or
your kind words The more liberal
you are with these the moga You will
have.
Take walk-seyeral Of them. Il is
healthful to walk, and if it IS nice
moonlight night and some rich old
mans pretty daughter is hanging on
your arm, it is especially healthful.
Take time, young woman, to be kind
to your brother-and 90 out with him
when he, wishes you to do so. He is
one Of your best friends, sure He
will protect you always Take time
to be good to him.
Take pains to hear both sides Of o
story before you come to a decision
Jumping at a conclusion, one time and
another, has filled the world with cna-
mics and deluged it in blood Wait
to hear both sides Of a story before
you speak
Take a wife if you are able to sup.
port a wife, a very very stylish one.
