FORGET IT
.H~x~]]/~<<<<<e<>>>>~~vV

If you would increase your happiness and prolong your life forget your neighoof faults. Forget the slanaer YOU have heard. Forget the fault-findings and give a llttie thought to the cause that pro- voked it. Forget the peculiar ities of your friends and only remember the good polnts that make you fond of them. Forget all personal quarrels or histories that you have heard by accident and which if repeated would seem a thousand times worse than they are. Blot out as far as possi ble the dlsagreeapie things of life-they will come but they will only grow larger when you remember them, and the constant thought of the acts of meanness worse still. malice, will only tend to make you more familiar with them. Obliterate everything bad from yesterday, start out with a clean sheet for today, and write upon it for sweet memory's sake only those
 things that are lovely and
 lovable.-Exchange.

 In Detroit the children were divided into two groups, one taught by pictures only, with out any preparation or expla- nation, and the other by ora means only. Again the nov ies scored. And a second ex- animation given four weeks from the first lesson showed the movie pupils also superior in a memory test. So it would seem that the movies really do help.

NEIBHGORHoOD FEELING

A newspaper writer tells of the results that flowed from the organization of social club at Clifton, Nebraska. In many country places there is j. tendency for i'll feeling te develop. In Clifton, since thi: club has been bringing these people together, there are nc enmities, no spiteful gossip The people meet each other frequently. if there are any minor disputes they adjust them personally in this atmos. phere of good feeling. They know each other so we'll, ano have so much pleasant social life, that they have neither time nor desire for the mean spirit sometimes seen in smal towns.

STONE REDUCTION PLANT
Big Plant May Be Constructed
 at Penter's o'uff

The American Manganese Company of Chicago contem. plates erection of a big stone reducing plant at Penter's Bluff, and the development of the stone resources on it's big acreage, it is said. E. c. Nc Combs of Batesville says that the cost of the plant and de- velopment probably will reach $175.000.

Lately, however, some definite experiments have been conducted, both in New York City and Detroit, to determine the actual worth of picture instruction In New York children of the same grade and approximately the same ability were divided into three groups.

FILLING BIG TRESTLE ON WHITE RIVER DIV. Three Months Will Be Requir- ed to Complete Work at
 One TrestIe

An army of workmen, three work trains, two big steam shovels, a train of tractors with dump cart trailers and approximately one hundred big mule teams are at work like an ant colony filling the Georges creek trestle, 20 miles north of Cotter on the White River road. List & Clifford of Kansas City, Mo-, have the contract which is the largest railroad improvement con- tract ever let in North Ark ansas.
 The bridge is 2158 feet long with an average heighth of 30 feet. It was constructed when the road was built in 1905 and contains 100000 feet of tim Der, and has been very expen- sive to maintain.
 The White River Division runs through the Ozark noun tains, connecting the plains with the delta and when com- pleted had more high bridges probably, than any other di- vision in the Middle West or South. The filling of the Georges creek bridge marks the winding up of a bridge filling program that has been in effect the last four years, 30 high wooden trestles hav- ing been filled in that period.
 The present contract involv- es the moving of 100000 feet of dirt, which is being moved at the rate of 5000 feet a day. When the big fill is completed 1t will be TO feet wide at the top and 175 feet wide at the base.
 Besides the fill proper, con- siderable eXcavating has to be done in order to get proper drainage. At this time two streams pass under the bridge Georges creek and HJohnnys creek. An artificial channel is being cut from the latter to the former, and the entire flow from both streams passed through a big steel span which will be left in the center of the span.
 Besides filling the high bridges heavy steel has been l laid on a considerable portion of the division between Cotter and Newport replacing light steel which was put down wher the road was construct ed. The north end of the di- vision is already equipped with heavy steel.
 The contract for the Georg- es creek fill calls for compile tion of the job by January l, 1922.
