Trees

To some folks a tree is just tree.
n stick Of wood carrying foliage. If
II is slightly in the way, they remorse-
lessly cut it down, as If II had no
value other than firewood.
To others tree is a spot of re-
freshment in the heats Of summer, a
touch Of beauty out of the hands Of
God in the towns that man has made.
Many Of the older trees are associated
with people now gone who planted
them years ago, and left this noble
monument TO their love for their home
towns. The older places have famous
trees that go back In early history,
like the Washington elm recently re-
moved in Cambridge. Mass. which dat
ed back In days when this country
consisted only of few scattered colo
MES
The trees in Pocahontas are one Of
this communitys most valuable posses
sions They transform the scenes Of
daily life into honey neighborhoods,
and give .the touch of affection to
streets that otherwise might seem pro
sale. our people should watch care
fully over these trees, and see that
they get the best protection that can
be given against the insect enemies
that raise 50 much havoc.

From R. H. Gullett
Ladies and Gentlemen:

Ladies and Gentlemen:
In matter written by G. w. Million
to the Star Herald of March the 9TH
purporting to be reply to some state
ments that l had previously made rela-
tive TO the outcome of the audit of the
county's records, he stated that had
misrepresented him in nearly every in
stance, but failed to tell you wherein
l had done so.
These are some of the statements
that ] made in my letter: The audit
cost the county $13345O; Attorneys
fees, $4,000; Ira l.. Sink, witness fees
for days $4,000.
We also stated that he now had In
his possession an audit for the re-
venue of 1922, and that he had never
filed this audit, Notwithstanding the
fact that he had paid the peoples
money for it.
We also stated that he had finan-
cial statement of the county made by
this same bunch of auditors; paid your
money for it and up TO this writing
this 1922 audit nor the financial state
ment has not been filed with the clerk
of Randolph county, as by law requir-
ed.
These are the principal statements
made in my letter to the Pocahontas
Star Herald relative to this matter,
and if l have misrepresented Million
in any of the above statements / desire
him to tell the people in the next issue
of the Star Herald wherein / have
done so.
In conclusion let me say that you
need not take my word for these state
ments but come and see what the re-
cords reflect in the County Clerks
Office relative to this whole matter.
Respectfully,
r. II .Gullett.

Little Rock Letter

Little Rock, March 17-Planning,
building and maintaining the high
ways of Arkansas is the biggest job
in the state today. Closely related to
this job of course is that of providing
the necessary funds TO pay for the
highway system. This burden is dis
tributed very generally among the peo-
pie and Il is believed that under the
Harrelson act 1t will fall with less
weight upon the taxpayer as time goes
by.
The Arkansas Banker commenting
upon the Harrelson act says: I'VE be-
lieve every citizen should cheerfully
accept the law, patiently give 1t fair
trial, and assist in its prompt and
efficient administration. Doubtless 1t
Is not perfect, but its imperfections
can be cured by intelligent amendment
as they appear in the light of expert
ence."
The banker cites the fact that the
task is stupendous and almost
superhuman" one, presenting many
trying and perplexing problems The
editor of the Banker concludes his APP
peal for fair trial of the act with
the following suggestions:
ut is hoped the administration of
the Harrelson law will save many dol
lars of taxation to farmers and other
owners of land; the improved roads
properly maintained will lessen the
consumption of gas and costs of wear
and tear on tires and machines, so
that the additional tax ON cors, fuel
and oil will not be burdensome in the
long run. The main thing now is for
our people to keep sweet and patient
and hopeful and give the law and the
Commission "A fair chance TO demon
strate the merits of the plan. Federal
aid has been restored and will help
wonderfully. We should not object
that there are to be reasonable condi-
tions. In fact, in our inexperience it
is not at all bad that It furnishes, so
to speak, sort of censorship over
what we do and what we spend. After
ALL we will have already made our
contribution to the Federal funds al
lotted to us. Part at least is our own
money returning TO us. There is moth
ing wrong In insisting that the projects
IL assists are built and maintained ac-
cording to n high standard This is
to the best interests OF ALL Let us
hope the Commission will prove equal
to the task. The people can help great
~ If they will. Friendly cooperation
viii mean much in the solution Of the
many problems that arise

The recent Bryan-for-president mass
meeting held in Little Rock seems to
have skidded. MIR. Bryan himself, for
whom the movement was started by
Former Governor Donaghey. has sug-
gested that Arkansas should instruct
It's delegates to Cleveland Convention
for Arkansas favorite son, Senator
Joe +. Robinson. While Mr.. Bryan
has many ardent admirers in .Arkan-
sas, It is not probable that he would
receive the endorsement Of the state
until Mr. Robinson is eliminated from
the race.

i'm Arkansas as good as any in the
South or West. He says that Arkan-
sas is in a much better condition than
Texas, Mississippi, Georgia, Oklahoma,
Missouri or Kansas in financial way.
During the year 1923 there were only
five bank failures in Arkansas, two in
1922 and three i'm 1921 II is nota-
hle fact that there We're many more
failures in Kansas, Mississippi, Texas,
oklahoma, Washington, Nevada and
the Dakotas than in Arkansas and that
all Of these states have bank guar
anty system. Experience seems to
prove that the bank guaranty law does
not prevent failures.

A group of men were discussing at
luncheon the other day the matrimon-
ial vacation fad started by former
Fort Smith woman. 1t was suggested
that there are number of old say
ings that apply TO the case. A senti-
mental member of the group offered
as an appropriate adage, Absence
makes the heart grow fonder" Anoth-
er suggested, ''Distance lends enchant-
ment." A third quoted in support of
the new plan, Familiarity breeds con-
tempt" And the old crouch closed
the discussion with the quotation out
on the point of view.

was the address delivered by Virgil c.
Petite, president of the Arkansas Ad-
vancement Association on the subject
Selling Arkansas" He addressed
seven meetings, presenting the subject
to representative bankers from all sec
tions of the state. He made an ap-
peal that carried conviction TO the
hearts of all. He declared that If Ar
kansas is ever to attain the position
1t merits economically, industrially,
commercially, financially and educa-
tionally, its people must have wider
vision of the possibilities and potential
resources Of the state. Selfshness and
self-centered provincialism must be
cast aside and all must unite for the
upbuilding Of the state and its people
in every worth while field of endeavor.
