PICK UP THE LOOSE ENDS.

With the advent Of spring there is
much for our municipal authorities
to consider.
A careful scrutiny of this town will
disclose abundant food for thought
and action.
pnsightly conditions will be found,
streets are in need of repairs, brok-
en- pavements require attention, and
a few low places should be filed in.
Better fire protection is needed, and
a greater interest should be stimulat-
ed in our public schols.
A public rest room should be prov
ided for the benefit Of our friends
from the country who may want to
while away an hour or two before re-
turning to their homes.
There should be a home-like air Of
hospitality pervading this town
which would cause people to want to
come again and come often. People
from the country should be made to
feel that this is their town as well as
our.
We can do these things, if we will
and it costs little but means much.

FIRE DESTROYS HOME.

The home of John G. Erickson at
Pelkie was destroyed by fire Sunday,
the structure burning to the ground.
Most of the furniture on the first
floor was saved. The fire, which was
caused by defective chimney, was
discovered about six o'clock in the
morning but it had then gained such
headway that the bucket brigade
which was quickly organized could
do little but try and save the furnish
ings.
The home was one of the finest in
Pelkie and had practically all of the
modern conveniences. 1t was partly
insured.

Coroner Hansen was notified by Jim
Dekota, who happened to visit the
house and found the body, and he de-
cided that death was. from natural
causes. The deceased had been suf-
ering from tuberculosis for some
time, and he undoubtedly became so
weak that he was unable to tend to
his own wants, which hastened his
death.

JUST AROUND BRINKLEY

What are you going to say
 next to prod us up on organi- zation," said a live wire Brink leyite who is always at the bat when it comes to trying to knock home run for Brink ley to me, as 1 was out in the cold rain scouting for some thing to write about yesterday. ''Why, Pm going to remind our business men about the neces- sity of a reunited effort to get the U. S. Government to give us adequate room for handling the U. $. mail in the Brinkley post office. The vol ume of business is now 400 per cent more than 1t was
The Brinkley argus., 1920-01-15

when the present quarters were contracted for and pro- vided. Our clever postmaster and his present force are un- able to render service in the present cramped, crowded quarters. The reports of the postal inspectors are bound to show the urgent need of in creasing the present quarters. A committee of our business people could easily get results in this matter if they but had the time and disposition to "get together" and act. The Government has had S5,G00 in vested in Brinkley post office lots for some time. Other Ark ansas towns have "got i'll the game" had the Government buy sites and build post offices since the appropriation vas made for Brinkley. Of course the other towns have had or ganized efforts to put things thru.
 Some have blamed Con- gresman Oldfeld for not push ing the Brinkley building thru but I do not blame him in the least. As long as Brinllley pco- pie are asleep to their own rights and interest don't blame a politician for letting things rock along as they are It is just a lack of organiza- ton; that's all, but it isn't the new post office building that I'm now writing about, but simply immediate action for adequate quarters to safely handle our Blinkley mail to- day.
 With the cramped and mad
The Brinkley argus., 1920-01-15

equate quarters of the Brink ley post office there should be something done that will en- able the post office force to handle just the business that naturally comes thru the Brinkley office.
 Our business men should ask the indulgence of our clever, long suffering post master, James H. Stack, to give them a peep into the jam he is in when the scores of bags of mail, parcel post packages, the two local mail carriers, the railway postal clerks, the rural free delivery carrier, are ali crowded and damned into the little room which was none too large eight or ten years ago when we had little to do.
 A peep in on the scene in the Brinkley post office will ex- plain very readily why there should be a concerted demand and organized effort to get an emergency need pushed thru for us RIGHT NOW.
