 The civic improvement club has been very active in it's work in beau tifying the city during the summer and the good results of their work are becoming very manifest. The floral schemes along the streets that were carried out earlier in the summer are beginning to show up very attractively and by the time another season comes around the effect will be even more striking.
 It is very evident that an enter prising organization devoting itself to the beautifying of the city, as has been done by the civic improve ment club this summer, is very important element in the progress of the community and it's members should be heartily encouraged. The span of few summers, with the present work kept up will em- phasize Paragould in the eyes of visitors as being the prettiest and best kept city in this section.

REMARKABLE
 RECORD FOR
 PROSECUTORS
Every Prosecuting Attorney For a Period of Forty Three Years in This Dis trict is Living.

T. R. Wilcockson thinks this, the second judicial district possesses a record that is unequalled by any other district in the entire state of Arkansas so far as it relates to the number of prosecuting attorneys serving the district and yet liv- ing Mr. Wilcockson told a repre- sentative of the Daily Press Saturday that he was so confident that no other district can measure up to the record he wants to wager box of fine Havana cigars that it cant be done.
 Every prosecuting attorney sery- ing this district since 1878 is liv ing and actively engaged in either business or professional duties. Everyone, so far as the writer can ascertain, is in good health and has the promise of many more years of usefulness.
 Beginning with the year of 1878, E. Foster Brown, of Jonesboro, head the list of the eleven livingex-prose- cutting attorneys. He served from 1S7S&to 1882. He is yet actively engaged in professional work in Jonesboro The remainder of the list, with the dates of the periods served, is as follows:
 w. B. Edrington, of Paragould, 1882 to 1888.
 J. D. Block, of Paragould 1888 to 1892
 W. w. Randy, of Paragould, 1892 to 1896.
 o. N killough, of Wynne, 1896 to 1900.
 $. R, Simpson, of Osceola, 1900 to 1904.
 L. c. Going, of Memphis, 1904 to 1908.
 Senator r. IT, Caraway. of Wash ington, 1908 to 1912.
 M. P. Huddleston, of Paragould, 1912 to 1916.
 T. W> Davis, of Blytheville, 1916 to 1920.
 J. c. Shane, of Paragould, began serving his term in 1920.
 Mr Wilcockson said he wished to especially direct his challenge to the Ozark secIlon where the claim of good health and long life is dwelt upon by the citizens of that region. He doesn't believe the Ozark OF any other section of Arkansas can touch this record and if it can there's box of mighty good smokes for the individual in district who can show him.

Hf0r1QC Of By Elmo Great Scouts Ns,,on
e, Western Newspaper Union. SCOUT CALLED "TAM.E-YUkH. TAH" (CUT-OFF LEGO

Amos Chapman was scout TOT Gen. Nelson A. Miles in the war with the southern plains tribes in 1874. One day, with Billy Dixon ("Hasta'- Long Hair) and four soldiers he was carrying dispatches from Miles camp on McClelland creek in Texas to Camp Supply, Indian Territory, when they were surrounded by war party of 125 Commanches and KiOwas.
 At the first fire from the Indians Pri- vate Smith fell from his horse. His companions, believing him dead, dis mounted abandoned their horses, and ran to a buffalo wallow, depression fin the ground about 100 yards away. The two scouts worked swiftly with their knives deepening the waliow while the three soldiers kept up hot fire against the savages, who were rid ing at full speed in a fast-narrowing circle around them.
 Suddenly Chapman noticed Private Smith trying to rise. Boys, keep these internal redskins off me and I'll run back and get Smith," he said to his companions. He laid down his rifle, sprang from the wallow, and un- der hail of Indian bullets ran to where Smith lay. Throwing himself beside the wounded man, the scout pulled Smith on his back and rose. As he staggered back towards the wal low, 15 Indians rode for him at full speed.
 Dixon and his comrades opened up with tiercer fire to protect Chap man in his dash for safety. When he was only 20 yards from the wallow an Indian rode almost on top of him and fired. The scout fell, but since he did not feel any pain, he believed be had only stepped into hole.
 Amos, you are badly hurtw ex- claimed Dixon as Chapman dropped beside him.
 "No, I am not" declared the scout
 Look at your leg" replied "Hasta," and when Chapman looked he saw that one leg was shot off just above the ankle. He had been walking on the bone and dragging the foot be- hind him, but in the excitement of the moment he did not know it. His friends amputated the foot, bound up the wounds held out against the as saults of the Indians until they were rescued by company of soldiers. Their brave defense won special men ton in General Miles dispatches, and Chapman was given a medal of honor for his heroic act. Ever since that fight the Indians have called him "Tam-e-yukh-tah" or "The Man with the Cut-Off Leg"

The United States department of labor in its survey bulletin just is- sued says that retail business in Arkansas for the season is practically normal and that gradual industrial improvement is looked for. Condi- tions in Northeast Arkansas are particularly favorable.
 The Arkansas Educational Asso- citation, now in it's 53rd year. has just attained an enrolment of $500 teachers. This is by far the largest advance enrolment in the history of the association and is further evidence of vastly increased interest in state educational affairs. The campaign for the enrolment of the teachers has just begun and it is planned by the district managers to attain the full enrolment of 5000 by September. The superintendents of Monroe, Baxter and Randolph counties have already reported 100 per cent enrolment.

 The return of normal times IS going to be governed by all of us returning to the normal way or conducting ourselves and our affairs. Additional effort, as good measure, is going to speed up that return. The little work, easy picking per i0d has gone. The business or in tlividual that stubbornly resists the revised order of things is going into the down-and-out discard and there's where he belongs. Energetic effort and progressive methods are the only stepping stones that lead .out of the condition the war period swept us into. The premium of success is going to be bestowed upon those who strive and strive hard.

Possibilities In This State.
Every locality has its own dis
tinction and possibilities. Some
thing may be, developed in land
scape gardening in New Mexico by
following natures suggestions
(after all, nature is the great teach
er who never makes mistakes) that
would have an artistic value all its
own. From landscape gardening
to architectural gardening, which
is the proper arrangement of
streets, parks and scenic roadways,
is but a step. In a neW-old state
like ours, wonderful originality ana
beauty might he obtained if we
interest ourselves in these possibili-
ties before definite, irrevocable
mistakes have been made.
No one should plant a garden
from any motive other than the one
of pure aestheticism, if tt is to be
Ia success. We need the aesthetic
as well as the material things to
be well-rounded individuals.
