ANOTHER BARGE
 TRACK SECURED
By the Chamber of Commerce, Which Is Becoming Active For Newport's
 Advancement.

Another track is soon to be built from the Missouri Pacific switching
 yards to the river front to better ia
 cilitate the loading of cars from
 barges, according to letter received
 Friday morning by c. L. Mariner,
 Chamber of Commerce manager.
 During the past several months the
 movement of timber from up White and Black rivers has been very heavy,
 and one track for the handling and
 loading cars for shipment by rail has
 proven inadequate for the number of boats now plying the river. The Chamber of Commerce has ap- pointed Chas. G. Henry, w. T. Parish and o. M. Bowen as a committee to take whatever steps that are neces- sary to secure an. airplane landing station for Newport. The committee will begin work on the project at
 once.
 Plans are being made to install a big bill board in the Missouri-P Pacific park to be viewed by the passengers 1 on trains going through Newport The board will carry summa1 ized story of the many advantages that obtain both in Newport and Jackson county.
 MT. Mariner is taking steps to se- cure the cooperation of the railroad officials in making Improvements about the Missouri Pacific passenger station here, one of which, and the one
 most needed, is new sewerage sys- tenn which will make for better sani- tation at the station.
 Through the efforts of the Cham Der of Commerce film was shown at the Newport Opera House Wednesday
 afternoon which portrayed the pogres- sive and successful methods used in
 Iowa and Michigan by raisers oi
 blooded cattle and dairy cattle. A number of persons witnessed the pic
 ture, which was greatly enjoyed. Il
 was most instructive. The picture
 was explained in very adequate anc
 interesting manner by Joe l.. Bevens
 who was a member of the party who
 visited these states when the picture was made.
 MT. Mariner will go to Little Rocl
 tomorrow to be present at the meet
 ing of the Arkansas Trades Associa- ton, which will consider the traffic
 and transportation questions relative 1 to cotton. He will represent ths i Newport cotton territory.
 The Chamber of Commerce bid'
 fair to be all that it promised. Every
 body is working, and results are be ginning to show.

Automobile Notes

1T is safe to say that there has
never been any factor which has been
Of more aid in the development of the
country than the automobile" says
Fred Bethard, local dealer in Chevro-
let automobiles, and it is easy to see
that the motor car is assuming greater
importance and becoming more indis-
pensable each day.
"One future effect of this growing
popularity of the automobile with the
farmer will certainly diminish, al
most to the vanishing point, the many
differences which used to exist be-
tween the city and the country. No
one would think of picturing the far
mer of today as the inferior of his
city brother in worldly goods. intel
ligence or ability to travel. In reality,
he is quite the reverse: wellposted
and well-read,-and it must be ad-
mitted that the automobile has been
largely responsible for this change.
"The automobile gave him an oppor-
tunity of getting in touch with the sur
rounding country in which he lives.
He is able to visit his neighbors often
er. He goes to town much more than
he used to. He is in touch with the
outside world. He is no longer alone.
at is easy to see what an essential
thing the automobile is to the man in
the country. 1t has brought him close
to everything desirable. He is no
longer an isolated outsider.
But as matter of fact, the auto
mobile is an essential everywhere, in
town or country, in the city or on the
farm. Its ever increasing popularity
proves this conclusively. And the
automobile is popular because it is
useful.-because it performs efficiently
a mission which before its event was
untitled. AS a utility it has rightfully
earned it's place in the life and affairs
of our people. The business man of
today, whether he is a farmer, manu-
facturer or a merchant is effecting

Their main positions east of Amiens
shattered by the Franco British
thrust, the Germans continue to re-
treat with the allies in close pursuit.
Enemy resistance on the extremi-
ties of the attacking front has been
broken and latest reports from the
battle front say the enemy is retiring
in great haste. Aerial observers say
the Germans are in full retreat east
ward across the Picardy plains toward
the old Hindenberg line. German am
munition dumps are being blown up.
The allied line has now been driven
forward in the center more than II
miles and the maximum advance Is
10 miles made by the French. The
apex is six miles wide and runs from
Ranecourt to Warvillers. The import
ant Peronne-Roye high road and rail
way is within short cannon range and
British scouts re reported within one
mile of Chaulnes, the middle point Of
the Peronne-Roye line.
Railroads Trains Left.
That the Germans were surprised
by Marshal Foch's new manoeuvre be-
comes increasingly more evident.
Much material and supplies were left
behind and even entire railroad trains,
including ore loaded with troops were
captured by the onrushing British.
Developments Friday included not
only the advance Of the blunt apex
by five miles, but the smashing of the
Germans resistance on the ENDS of
the battle line. North of the Somme,
the French have been meeting with
bitter resistance, but they have cap
tured Morlancourt, the axis of the
German link between the Somme and
Albert. On the north bank of the
Somme they lost Chipilly to the Ger
mans while moving forward on the
southern bank to Morcourt. The
French extended their gains south
along the Avre toward Monddidier
by taking Pierrepont. Courtemanche,
mile northeast of Montdidier, but
on the opposite bank of the Avre, also
has been occupied.
