GOODYEAR

Goodyear. Fifty-six automobiles and trucks headed by the Goodyear Mills band, formed parade of the fifth annual outing of the Goodyear Cotton Mills in trip to Crescent Park. K. l., Saturday. Remnants, flags and bunting decorating the au- tos lent touches of color to the long line of machines and the happy smiles and gay laughter of the em- ployes were communicated to the crowds of people along the route of the parade.
 The autos left Goodyear at 9 o. clock, on one of the pleasantest days the weather man has given out this season. The route was from Good year to Putnam, and in Putnam the parade passed along Main street to Union square with the band walking ahead of the parade. The snappy music of the band caused office win dows to be opened wide and pedestri- ans lined the streets and cheered. From Main street the band boarded the big White truck owned by the mills and the parade proceeded to Chepachet and Woonsocket. At Woonsocket the chief of police met the parade and escorted 1t through the city, the band marching and play ing as in Putnam. The chief liked the looks of the party so well that he continued with the machines and was a guest at dinner at the park
 At Crescent Park the party had it's own section of the big dancing pavil- ion, and 374 enjoyed the dinner. The dinners were given by the Goodyear Company to all employees and any member of their families In the af- ternoon the party attended the amusements or listened to the concert by the Goodyear band. Manager Loof of the park gave a special con cession to the employees, permitting a discount of forty per cent from the cost of the amusements from any who bought their tickets from the Goodyear Company.
 No attempt was made to continue the parade home Some had to re- turn early and others took opportuni- ty to extend the trip to other resorts over Sunday.
 The factory was closed Friday night to allow everybody to attend the out ing and only enough men were kept at the plant to protect it in case of fire.
 Loyalty engendered by the outing was very marked and the Goodyear Cotton Mills management is receiving much credit and praise for the excel lent idea in remembering it's employ es in this happy way.

COUNCIL RACE
 IS WARMING UP
NINTH WARD CONTEST FUR WISHING PLENTY TO KEEP CITIZENS INTERESTED IN
 CITY ELECTION.

Politics in the Ninth ward have be- gun to get bit more than lukewarn and the vote to be polled in the Democratic city primary promises to be larger than ever before. Every citizen is interested and will ID doubt go to the polls to cast a vote for thnir choice-L H. Bradley or K. P. Alexander.
 Both candidates were nominated at ward meetings MT. Alexander has had considerable experience in city affairs, having at one time served for several terms as a member of the city council at Fort Smith. He is an ardent exponent of the single tax theory and is well known to the pub lie of Little Rock.
 Alderman l.. H. Bradley has repre- scented the Ninth in the city council since it was annexed to Little Rock, and prior to that time was mayor Of Pulaski Heights. He had determined to retire from politics at the end of his present term, but so forcible was tic demand of his friends that he reraain in the council that he finally consented to permit his name to go on the ticket.
 Both candidates will make an ac- tive contest, and the supporters of each are pressing their claims with much display of enthusiasm. The re- lationship between the opposing forces has been very pleasant so far, and it is the nature of the contest ants to conduct their affairs in a gen. tlemanly manner, consequently no unpleasantness is anticipated.
