Brough’s Speech Makes
Hit at legion Convention
The speech of former Gov
ernor Brough delivered at the
American Legion Convention
at Kansas City last week, pre
senting an Arkansas diamond
stick pin to the newly elected
commander-in-chief, is the
best thing of the kind we have
ever seen.
The Journal is publishing
the speech in full and we urge
every reader of this paper to
clip the speech and paste it in
their scrapbook. Every word
of it is true and if you will
read it, it will make you feel
prouder of Arkansas.
Laides and Gentlemen:
On behalf of the 4,000
splendid legionnaries of the
state of Arkansas, representa
tive of the 71,862 heroic Ark
ansans who placed their bodies
as living walls between the
cause of human liberty and
our imperial commonwealth,
during the period of the World
War, I have been accorded
the honor of presenting to
you, Commander-in-Chief the
most beautiful and enduring
product of Arkansas, a genu
ine two and a third karat Ark
ansas diamond—a gift eternal
from the workshop of the
Creator. This soul of the
world of gems is but one of
the hundreds of pure whites,
wonderful blues and golden
canaries, so rare and priceless,
surpassing by one point the
kimberly diamonds of South
Africa in hardness and brilli

ancy, found in the blue volcan
ic formation known as peri
dotite near Murfresboro ir
Pike County Arkansas—the
only genuine diamond mine or
the North American continent
This is but one of the 5f
useful minerals known to geol
igists that are mined withir
the confines of the “Wondei
State of the American Union’
—the only State in the Unior
which annually reproduces its
j invested capital.
Every citizen of Arkansas is
naturally genuinely proud ol
the fact that a Tartary wall ol
| isolation could be built arounc
our commonwealth and wc
[could still produce everything
'that we consumed, from food
and clothes to ttie lustrous
'diamonds and pearls worn b.v
Our charming ladies.
We take pride in the fact
that as a state we rank third
in the production of cotton
and second in the production
of long-staple cotton, third in
the yield of rice, first in quali
ty and acreage production of
lice; first in our cut of ash,
cottonwood and red gum ; third
in our cut of yellow pine; that
Arkansas shortleaf pine com
mands a premium over all
Southern pines, that we lead
all other states in the produc
tion of hardwoods; that we
have the largest peach orch

Arkansas is even prouder of
the enviable record our splen

activities.
It went “Over the Top” in

sons either lost their lives in
the service or were wounded

JAGUAR WAS “COUNTED OUT”
Fierce Animal Overestimated Its Fight
ing Ability When It Entered Ring
With Locomotive.
A big and fierce Colombian
jaguar, with the same discretion
that characterized the bull that
thought it could butt a locomotive
off the track, tackled a similar job
in a jungle land near Santa Maria
with similar results, according to
passengers of the United Fruit
steamship Thrives, in recently from
Colombian, Canal Zone and Ja
maican ports.
When the Tivives arrived at
Santa Maria many passengers went
ashore for a ride through the wilds,
accompanied by two native guides,
who agreed to catch monkeys for $1
each for the women.
While chasing the monkeys the
jaguar, a female, appeared with her
cub, and all the party fled, except
one guide, who sought refuge in a
tree, with the beast in pursuit They
crossed the railroad tracks as a train
was approaching, and were pleas
antly surprised to note that tho jag
uar apparently decided to knock out
the noisy locomotive before attack
ing the fugitives. A few snarls and
an aggressive paw did not count
much in the one-sided duel. There
was not enough left of the jaguar
to identify her as that sort of a
jungle creature.—New ^ ork Her

NAPHTHA MADE TROUBLE.
A curious result of a railroad ao j
oident in which 8,000 gallons of
naphtha were spilled, is reported
from Rnelofs, Pa. The oil ran into
a pit and the odor was so penetrat* j
ing that cattle died and one man
succumbed. As time went on the
inhabitants of the town were at-;
tacked by a sleeping sickness and
everyone began to drowse. A num
ber of residents moved out of town
until the naphtha dried up.—Scien
tific American.
