Tread lightly—’tis a soldier’s grave
A lonely, mossy mound—
And yet, to hearts like mine and thine,
It should be holy ground.
Speak softly; let no careless laugh,
No idle, thoughtless jest,
Escape your lips, wehre sweetly sleeps
The hero in his rest.
For him no reville shall beat
When morning beams shall come;
For him, at night, no tattoo rolls
Its thunder from the drum.
No costly marble marks the place,
Recording deeds of fame,
But rudely on that bending slab
Is carved the soldier’s name.
A name not dear to us, but ah!
There may be lips that breathe
That name as sacredly and low
A vesper prayers at eve.
There may be brows that wear for him
The mourning cypress vine;
And hearts that make this lonely grave
A holy pilgrim shrine.
There may be eyes that joyed to gaze
With love into his own,
Now keeping midnight vigils long
With silent grief alone.
There may be hands now clasped in prayer
This soldier’s hand has pressed;
And cheeks washed pale by sorrow’s tears.
His own cold cheeks caressed.
Tread lightly,; for a man bequeathed,
Ere laid beneath this sod.
His ashes to his native land,
His gallant soul to God!
—ELIZA P. NICHOLSON.

ARKANSAS GETS INTO
MOTION PICTURES
•
Big HydroEIectric Power Plant
and Other Industries to
be Shown Soon
Deeming the advent of hy
dro-electric power one of the
: greatest stat§-builders that can
| j help Arkansas forge forward
i j industrially, the Arkansas Ad
vancement Association is spon
soring the circualtion of a mo
tion picture film showing the
| dedication of the two million
| dollar dam and power plant
on the Little Red River in
White County.
This film is being distribut
ed by the Arkansas Exhibi
. tor’s League for display in all
the leading towns in the State.
The title of the film is “The
River of Money” and momen
tous events in the industrial
histroy of Arkansas were pho
tographed to make it not only
interesting but educational as
to what Arkansas may expect
from hydro-electric develop
ment.

The most beautiful girl in
the United States, so determin
ed in a national beauty contest
Miss Edith Mae Patterson ot
Pine Bluff, posed for the film
and is shown christening thi
$2,000,000 dam and power
house of the Arkansas Hydro
Electric Development Com
pany. To do this “stunt” re
quired courage, for Miss Pat
terson performed the rites
while suspended high in the
air over the Little Red river,
in the giant bucket the con
tractors use to pour concrete,
It is estimated that within
a few years from the comple
tion of the dam, which is
scheduled for July 1, 1922,
$150,000,000 will be invested
in new factories and mills
using hydro-electric power sup
plied by the waters of the Lit
tle Red river. Electric powei
can be distributed from the
Little Red river power plants
within a radius of 200 miles
of the dam so a great deal ol
Arkansas will be affected bj
the project. The picture wil;
be shown in Newark soon.
