our heroic dead will be placed upon the
graves Of our fallen heroes. The sea-
son has been particularly favorable
this year as regards weather condi-
tions. Native flowers in abundance
are blossoming and there will be no
lack of floral tributes this year, in
striking contrast to the past few
years. Churches and societies are
making preparations for the proper
observance of the day and there is
some talk of the organization of a
branch of the American. Legion in the
city, that all the boys mustered into
the government service during the
war just closing may be drawn into
closer relations and fellowship.

nf the most convenient lunch kit boxes
we have ever seen. The one he has
was made bv himself after seeing one
of similar kind Displayed when tour
rnv the west several years ago. The
outfit consists Of a box just wide
enough to fit on the running board Of

covering makes handy table, adj
Unstable legs fit into sockets and with
IN moments time the camper has as

A MISTAKEN IDEA.

Some residents of the city are of the opinion that the new city park and memorial to those who sacrificed their lives during the war, are for sol diers only. These memorials are for those who served The Colors and died for their country whether they be- longed to the army, navy, marines or other branches of the service. Un- cle Sans sailors made it possible for the fighting men to get to the front and their services were as important as those of the fighting men. They kept Wilhelm's fleet bottled up during hostilities and made life mis- erable for the hun submarine com- mander and his crew of murderers. The memorials proposed are not for soldiers alone. They are for the fighting men of the United States re- gardless of whether they served on land, on the sea, in the air or under the sea.

DO IT NOW.

Procrastination is not only the thief of time. It is the sapper of fortunes and assassin of business. The man who starts off on the right foot to- day will find himself so far in tho lead when his neighbors wake up that he will be on the highroad to "easy street" before they are aware that the war is over.
 Business has been cratic and sluggish. But these conditions are not going to continue. They cant exist. Better times are ahead. And they are just as far ahead or as close ahead as the individual business man secs them.
 The business man today who is waiting for business to return to normal is walking backwards. Busi- ness is not going to be normal soon. It is going to be abnormal abnormally good, Especially so in the south.
 The movement fer decreased cot ton acreage is practically complete That means progress to the south.
 Plans will soon be complete for the cotton export corporation which is to rehabilitate the cotton industry and with it other business. That means progress to the south.
 Diversification is being introduced into sections where it was unheard of before and is being instituted That means progress to the south.
 Europe has to have an immense lot of lumber and building materials. That means progress to the south.
 Europe has to have an immense quantity of feed stuffs. That means progress to the south.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1919-04-12

Labor is plentiful and wages arc not abnormal. That means progress to the south.
 There is more money in the south tolay than there has been in genera tions and it's distribution is well scat tered.
 Progressive moves for bigger busi- ness are chance. Sure, life IS a gamble. But the merchant who is en- larglng his business now is betting with heavy odds on his side. The fel- low who is holding back is procrasti- hating. And it is costing him money.
 The opportune time for business and personal advancement is today.
 Do It Now!
