EMORIAL
CT TO BE
liked FRIDAY
Special Meeting of Committee
Called for Chamber of
Commerce.
CAPITAL LIVELY RIVAL

Another attempt to further the move
ment for a war memorial building to be
erected in Indianapolis to house tbs
national headquarters of the American
Legion will be made at a meeting of
the Indiana war memorial committee, the
two political state committees and the
local war memorial committee at the
Chamber of Commerce at noon Friday.
The meeting will be held to discuss the
threatened removal of the national head
quarters to Washington. Walter Myers,
a member of the committee appointed
by the American Legion to investigate
the proposed war memorial building at
eSWashington, D. c.. has just returned
from the capital. He reports that it is
taken for granted at Washington that
their building will be the permanent
headquarters of the legion.
COMMITTEE NAMED
BY GOV. GOODRICH.
The state memorial committee is com
posed of the county chairmen of the
Liberty loan campaigns. They were ap
pointed by Gov Goodrich recently after
a committee representing the local war
memorial committee had asked that a
special session be called to make an
appropriation for the project. Charles
F. Coffin, president of the Chamber of
Commerce, is chairman of the local COM
mittee and John B. Reynolds, secretary
of the Chamber of Commerce, is secre-
tary of the committee
The letter Of invitation to the political
committees to attend the meeting said:
"You doubtless know that when the
national convention of the American le-
gion selected a permanent location for
its headquarters, the capitol city of
Indiana was chosen in spite of the fact
that no concrete proposition was made
by the citizens who had charge of the
matter of landing the headquarters in
indianapolis. Delegates from Washing
ton. D. c., Cleveland, New York City,
Kansas City and a number of other
places came prepared to and did offer
large amounts to be used for the cree
ton of suitable buildings for the na-
tional headquarters of the legion, bur.
with only the assurance that Indiana
would DO her full duty, as she always
has done when patriotism called, the
victory was won.
MUST DO SOMETHING
BY NEXT CONVENTION.
Nothing is more certain than that II
Indiana has not made adequate pro-
vision for a creditable war memorial by
the time the next national convention
~ the legion meets at Cleveland, in
September, these cities will make strenu-
Gus efforts to reopen the matter of the
location of permanent headquarters for
the legion, on the theory that Indiana
and Indianapolis have failed to do theh
duty"

RAMBLING AROUND
 FOR THE PULASKIAN

My first night was spent at the home of Henry Diehl, an old standby of mine, where I have always found a welcome His people have always been consistent friends of the Pulas- kian and starting with him the Pulas- kian has added 10 it's list of readers almost everyone else in the neigh borhood The next night | was enter tained at the hospitable home of President Davis of the Fair Associa- lion, as well as on the next night. He also entertained two of the young ladies and Mrs. keener entertained two of them both nights, while Miss Elsa Stiles entertained the other two one night. There was much disap- pointment expressed because there was no singing Saturday night. It was not the singers fault, but the fair was officially closed in the late afternoon and no arrangements were made to entertain the singers, so I had to arrange for the singers lodg- ing at different places, too far away for them to all get back to the even ing's entertainment. Afterwards l heard that there were a number of the best homes in the community dis appointed in not being allowed the privilege of entertaining them. My condition for securing these singers IS that we be entertained and furnish ed transportation to and from our homes at Wye. II was annoying and expensive to me to have to find enter tainment for them and myself as well as to have to secure transportation for them home. This was Halstead's first fair, and they did not have ev- erything running smoothly, but l hope at the other fairs that the peo- pie who wish to entertain the singers and myself over night will feel no embarrassment about coming to me the first day and letting me know about it.
 Comma and Ally Kilburn and their father, ]. B. Kilburn, each presented me with a rare rock consisting of large square rock which had a sunk en place in the center on each side, as though used to grind herbs and barks, a grinding stone in the shape of a helmet and a hammer shaped tomahawk. All are different from anything else l have. Miss Rosa Davis presented me with a box full of relics Mrs. R. B. Rhodes gave me a lot of shells from Florida and Henry her -son.-aayn- me- -an-Indian grinding rock. Mrs. Blue sent me a lot of nanquapins.
 Halstead is located in a beautiful and romantic section of Pulaski, about nine miles from Little Rock. Dairying is the most profitable in- dustry of this section, though just now numbering is being carried on extensively and some of the most progressive farmers are teaming for the saw mills.
 J. B. Kilburn sold his farm near Little Rock and moved just a little further out and bought an old place of forty acres less than half mile of the fair for $324, late last spring. It was on this land he raised the pc tatoes which took the double prize. His yams and corn are proportion ately good. He has a fine spring on ii and nearby Is a l5-foot we'll with the water flowing out of the top, which is so clear that he informed me a pin could be seen in the bottom of it. It was dug for a saw mill and makes the second flowing or artesian well 1 have heard of in Pulaski coun- iy.

Merchants Lilly Marie had just arrived on this mundane sphere. Possibly she remembers it, for she was exceptionally friendly to me. took dinner at the Midland farm. The last time 1 was there Howard Thomas had just brought his young bride home. This time there was a young Norman Thomas there to well come me. His pretty young mother said that next to the dog, Jimmie, Norman was the most important per son on the place, but his grandpar- ents said that he, Norman, was the most important one, though until his arrival Jimmie was the most import ant. Norman was just five months old. A little boy visitor was feeding Jimmie on sweet cakes, when Mrs. Thomas asked him if his mother would approve of his feeding cakes to a dog. Why" said he, Jimmie is not a dog, is he? l thought he was little boy.''
 That night I spent with J. C. Me Kenzie. l had been invited there to eat watermelons, but l was too late and if l had arrived soon enough it would have made no difference be- cause the crop was a failure.

As 1t continued to drag the trap around over the floor and would not let me sleep 1 decided to get up and kill it. Striking a match I saw that it was caught by the tail. As 1 was in nicely fur nished room I was puzzled how to kill it. Finally l took 1t into the next room and tried to kill it by hitting it on the floor at the door, but when l threw it at the floor it got loose and ran off.
