What has lHJt Springs acitie yed in 191Se Much of good, certainly. Our city has done well in provin , up it's patriotism Almost million dollars have been invested by our peo- pie in war securities It is true that has taken a large sum of money from circulation. but the wealth of the peo- pie has been increased that much. We have had a good year in almost everything. The early spring sea son was one of big patronage. The summer season was not without its profit. and while the fali period en- countered difficulties, yet these have been survived
 Garland county has made advanced steps in good road construction dur ima the year, and what is better 9,ll, is in good shape for the program of the future in this line. Good high ways will bring a permanent pros perity to our people, We are to be congratulated on our record in this line
 Many of the community enem ties have been outliyed-more of them should be. If Hot Springs were a compact cooperative body of citi- gems bent on their own community upbu1ding. there is no bound to the prosperity that would bless every in terest here. That prosperity would greatly enhance in value is certain There is a big future for th1s resort and it can not be failed in. but Dick erings and selfishness wll perhaps delay that per,od of big thnss unti we of this generation will not 2e' \ the benefit of what is in store.
