INTERSTATE HOME
BUYS LAND TRACT
PROPOSES THE CO. ORDINATION
OF THE MAIN CHARITY Or
CARNATIONS HERE.
Old Coombs Property on Hobson Ave
nue. is Bought at $4,000 and viii Be
Site OF Charity Institution.

Yesterday Ed IL. Johnson returned
from Pine Bluff. where he closed up
deal and purchased the Coombs prop
ery on I1obson avenue for the In
terstate Orphans Home The prop
crty consists of nine and one third
acres, and was bought at a sacrifice
for $4,000 The purchase price was
paid in cash
1t is now the desire of the Inter
state Orphans Home management,
said Mr.. Johnson Yesterday, to make
practical the charity work in Hot
Springs by co-ordinating the Sunshine
Home and tine Associated Charities
with this organization into general
board management which will have
complete control of all three. and
thereby to economize in the general
scheme Of upkeep. and to most likely
be able to perform a much greater
sum of good in all the branches Of
charity which these organizations
reach
1--WE will make a proposal to the
Associated Charities and the Sunshine
Home said Mr.. Johnson yesterday,
ito come into general charity or
sanitation with a general headquar-
| ters, and under the direction of a
general board, In which all shall hi 'e
equal representation, and which will
no doubt make it much easier to meet
the demands made on the charity OF
this resort
) Il believe that by co ordinating the
| institutions, and then by securing a
donation of a permanent nature from
the city and county. the charity work
could be handled much better than
at present"
The Coombs place is ideal for a
| charity home. II is situated al the
east terminal Of Hobson avenue, just
off Central, and the land lies well
| for improvement There are trees
on the property and a stone wall about
the front With a sufficient sum OF
money available to make the needed

to the city and the citizenship as a

Ben G. Eastin, of Mena, secretary
of the Commercial club of that place,
while here in the interest of the high
way movement, told Of the plans being

Next Monday the president Of the
Belgian Colonization association, to-
gether with the Belgian consul, will
be IN Mena to consider tn eacquire-
ment of forty thousand acres OF land
for that purpose The plan is to es-
tablish central farm two hundred
and sixty acres and then to sell to
each colonist a tract of ten acres
on such terms as he can readily ac-
qntre the same. BY intensive farm
ing or gardening these colonists can
make profitable these small tracts,
raising fruit and garden truck.
Mr. Eastin has already established
wide market for the produce Of the
section surrounding Mena. having
shipped from that place all through

MAKE new LINK IN

PROPOSAL FROM OKLAHOMA AND
MENA REPRESENTATIVES
MEETS FAVOR HERE.

ben c. Eastin, secretary Of the Com

w A. Loftin, OF Ida Bell, okla, sec
rotary Of one OF the local divisions
met with a number OF the business
men of the city at the Business Mems
League yesterday morning These
men had under consideration highway
affairs with reference to Hot Springs
The visitors were anxious to establish
highway from Durant OKLA, by way
of Mena to Hot Springs They also
proposed to extend this road through
Fort Sill on to Amarillo, Texas.
1t is their plan to make this sec
ton of highway a INK in the Bank
head highway and also to connect at
this end with the Albert Pike high
way One hundred and ten miles of
the road between Durant ana Hot
Springs has been completed and the
road between here and Mena by way
of Mt, Ida runs through a section that
is full Of road building material 1t
will be an easy section to construct.
The Bankhead highway mas been To-
Gated far far rs Little Rock This
is to be a National Military Road and
perhaps the most important one ia
the entire country The route west
Of Little Rock has not been deter
mined. There are three proposed
ruutngs One by way of Fort Smith
would leave Hot Springs off of the
map; the other two by way of Tex
arkana, or by way of Mt Ida. Mena
and Durant would include Hot Springs.
It is Of supreme importance that every
possible effort be made by the ciu-
zens through the Business Mems
League to get this location for this
city When that is secured, with the
Albert Pike Highway going north and
west Hot Springs will be the very
center of one of the most important
road systems Of the country Ii viii

sort with this advantage it will be

to be known as the dull time Of the
year. It will also bring class Of
tourists who are travelling for pleas
ure and who are both able and will
ing TO spend money for the comforts
as we'll as the necessaries by the way.
Plans will be perfected for sending
a representative to Hot Springs to the
convention OF this highway association

PRESS COMMENT.
AFTER THE WAR.

There is widespread interest over
the question, what will be done when
the war is over? Everybody knows
there are to be great changes in govern
ment, business, society, industry and
every department of life. We will hardly
be acquainted with ourselves 10 years
from now. There will be new ways OF
doing things then and new kinds Of
people doing them. Education, religion,
trade, society will be very different
from that which we have known in the
past. The people will have learned
great deal during the years OF war. They
will know each other better and be more
Interested IN one another. There IS going
to be less commotion. controversy and
contention among men The laws will
he different and they viii be more justly
enforced because more easily obeyed
We all feel that the change will be
for our good and stand ready to meet
the consequences when they come. We
only know that So much sacrifice will
make us trtcr and happier people
We will bc bound together by such
noble memories that noble citizenship
rs certain There is 10 be fairer friend
ship in the future and more kindness
between man and man The war has
been fought for n new and nohlcr age
and II rs sure 20 come II will bring

Directors of the Street and Sewer De-

point; IF the I >nhabitants Of Wilmington,

practice OF throwing and sweeping rubbish,
particularly paper, into the streets, it
would assist the city of Wilmington very
