TEN TIMES BIGGEST
CIRCUS HERE SOON

Ringing Brothers and Barnum u
Bailey Day draws near and with it
will come a vast circus of "ten thous-
and wonders to LITTLE ROCK,
TUESDAY, OCT. 3.
This mammoth amusement enter
prise of 1922 has been officially re-
corded as americas ten times great
est circus. 1t is a third bigger than
it was in 1921. For, in addition 10 the
many innovations offered then, then
the present seasons program numbers
ten more trained wild-animals displays
making twenty in all-and the most
superb trained horse acts that Europe
has yet produced. The wild-animal
and equine displays of 1921 We're in
troduced merely that the Ringing
Brothers might judge of their popu-
l1arity. So enthusiastically were these
numbers received that the famous
showmen Immediately arranged for
the purchase of the worlds finest acts
of this kind. An entire equine circus
was bought outright and brought to
this country last winter And while
the Ringing Brothers and Bamum
& Baily agents were securing this and

If the wishes of Arkansas au-
tomobilists are to be considered
by the Arkansas legislature next
winter, some stringent law will
be passed making it felony to
throw glass, tacks or similar OBJ
jects on the public highways.
There has been a great deal Of
complaint recently about this
form of malicious mischief and
the garage men have been the
principal benefactors Of what ap-
pears to be an epidemic of tack
throwers throughout the state.
Now that the children are back
in school again, what are we do
ing to encourage them? Or are
we doing anything at all?
Possibly the children, RE
sponsible in their youth, do not
expect anything from us. but
that does not excuse us in the
least. They are entitled to our
moral and spoken encourage
ment in their efforts TO secure
an education that will fit them
for successful stations in life.

LIFE LINES
Rv-H M. q


In days of old the indians bold
wore paint upon their faces. 1t
simply was part of Indian ways
But, though to very olden times
this color fancy traces, it still
holds forth with flappers in these
days.
And recollection also cites the
way the Indians danced; with
heads bowed down they clattered
on their heels. And so, today,
we find young girls the same
way are entranced. No more do
they mild Virginia reels.
Another thing that seems to
hitch the present andthe past is
in the clothes the Indians used
to don. Great buttons on their
clothing, just as ornament. we're
fast. Today the flapper's stock
ing have them on.
And yet they say the warriors
were far from civilized, until the
white mans missionaries came.
1t makes a person wonder--when
will it be realized that modern
flappers need some of the same?

LITTLE ROCK NEWS LETTER
(By Clio Harper)

For years many of the fore
most humanitarians and phila :
thropists of Arkansas have aG-
vocted the establishment OF a
children's Hospital for the state.
Various plans have been suggest
ed and movements have been
started but not until the work
was undertaken by the Arkansas
Children's Home Finding Socie-
ty was the movement given a def
mite stand in the state. A series
generous requests and of large
donations to the society have e.
nabled it to accumulate a fund
of approximately $125,000, now
available for the purpose, but
this Is entirely inadequate to in
sure the success of the ambitious
plans undertaken by the Trus-
tees of the Home. They propose
to raise by popular subscription
throughout the state another
S125,000, which will provide a
fund of a quarter of a million.
The site has already been pur-
chased at an advantageous loca-
ton. A whirlwind cmpaigD di-
rected by some of the foremost
citizens of the state will be made
early in November and within
ten days after the campaign is
inaugurated it is expected that
the entire fund will have been
pledged.
Half a mallion invested in a
children's state hospital will, it
is estimated, save to the citizens
of Arkansas an economic value
of Sf0,000.000. Abnormal boys
and girls, who would be other
wise a burden to society will be
made self supporting and useful
citizens. Thousands Of babies
who would die untimely deaths
would be saved and many homes
made happy. Such an institution
as that being promoted by the
Children's Home Finding Socie-
ty, will have a capacity of $50
beds and will be absolutely free
to the poor of all denominations.
It is planned that it shall be SO
scientifically equipped that it
will have no peer in America. 1t
will contain a child feeding bu-
