The recovery of an empire in
Eastern Arkansas will speedily
double the wealth of the state.
The constructive program of the
state, now opened up freely by the
removal of all governmental re-
strictions, is keeping our architects
and builders busy.
School houses, churches, stores,
theatres, halls and buildings of all
kinds are rising under the blows
of regiment of hammers.
Commercial interests are every
where prosperous, with increased
! stocks and growing custom.
The newspapers of the state are
rejecting the general forward move
ment.
j July and August are considered,
as rule, dull, dead. months, but
this year the columns of the papers
are crowded with progressive adver-
Using, and the necessary increased
rates has only increased the sub
scription lists.
In Little Rock every printing
house is crowded with work, and
there is constant demand for more
workmen.
Prices are high but wages are
higher, then why worry?'

That there is an era of road build
ing in Arkansas at this time is
easily demonstrated by an investi-
cation of the records and activities
of the highway commission. The
whole state is alive to the interest
of better roads and more roads,
and millions of dollars are being
spent for the purpose, where a few
years ago thousands of dollars were
thought to be wasting money on a
passing fad.
