Arkansas, as second class mail matter
In our grandfather’s time, the
boys were looked after as to the
company they kept, by their fath
er and mother, bnt now the boys
tell them to keep their mouihs
shut. And still we are improving
some.
“The Panama Canal should be
under the direct supervision of
the United States, when complet
ed.” So says Col. Goethals. All
of us say that too, but if l ucle
Sam isn’t up to his job some cor
poration will get the inside track
of the finances of it.
Extravagance, nr National Im
providence is one of which this
nation is guilty today. At the time
our Puritan forefathers landed on
the rock-ribbed shores of New Eng
land. they were fleeing from just a
condition as will confront the
American people in a short time, at
the fast gate we are going.
New York now has a Chinese
Public School, taught by instruct
ors sent by the Imperial Board ofj
Education at Peking, and in July
its first graduating class, eleven
boys and seven girls, received
their diplomas. The graduating
exercises included the worship of
Confucius a development that
the most liberal minded and far
seeing of the founders of the
American Public School system
could hardly have dreamed of.
Youth’s Companion.
What do you say now? We
give our money to send sacrificing
men and women to China, in or
der to turn them from Confucian
„ ism, to the religion of Christ, pay
our money in taxes to educate
them here, and still we find them
disseminating the seeds of Con
fucianism right among us, and
with the money we pay ourselves.
It is not our purpose to criticise
the conduct of others, nor to
“Butt in" where things and per
sons do not concern us, but lest
we forget, a gentle reminder from
some source however humble,
sometimes does good, or at least
it has done so in our own exeper
ience, when we deviated from the
paths of rectitude and right.
Our ideas and conclusions may
be wrong, but in this age of
strenuous and fast living, we
sometimes wonder what is in
future store for the girls of today,
who are just budding into woman
hood.
There are quite a number of
just such girls in Newark today,
who are remarkable for their
beauty, and are as pure in char
acter, and as chaste as the angels
and who are just now at that
stage of their existence, when
kindly advice from father and
mother is mostly needed, and, per
haps, this advice at times, should
be given with authority.
Many of our fathers and moth
ers are too indifferent with respect
to the counsels which are due
from them to their boys and girls,
at a time when, perhaps, one fif
teen minutes of good, sound,
heart to heart parental talk to
them, might relieve themselves of
many a sorrow and remorse, and
thereby bring future happiness to
their child.
The young man whose pockets
are filled with cigarette wrappers,
mustache combs, finger nail clean
ers, miniature curling irons, look
ing glass etc., and have their
mothers crease their pants every
day, and their sisters to part their
hair in the middle, are not the
ones who will made promising
husbands. The pockets of those
who are helping to make the
country bloom, and causing two
blades of grass to grow where
‘iod planted but one, will be
jound tilled with barbed wire
staples, and different sizes of
nails and screws. They are the
boys the girls had better look
after.
STATE FAIR GROUNDS
FINEST IN SOOTH
MAGNIFICENT PLANT WHICH
COST half a million dol
lars, EQUIPPED IN MOD
ERN STYLE.
EVERY CONVENIENCE AND
COMFORT FOR THE VISITORS
Qrest Exposition Palaces, Electric
Lights. Water Works, Sewer Sys
t«m, Telephone and Telegraph Con
nections, and Connected With City
by Double Track Trolley Lines.
Except to those who have visited
fh* Arkansas State Fair heretofore,
It is not generally known that we
have the finest and best equipped
fair grounds in the South. The great
plant embraces nearly one hundred
acres, and with all Improvements cost
'half a million dollars. It is the prop
erty of the Oaklawn Jockey Cluh, was
built for a racing track and is said to
be the finest in the United States.
Since the legislature confiscated this
property by the passage of the Antis
act, which killed horse racing in
this state, the owners have given the
use of this splendid plant to tlie peo
ple of the state, free of cost, for the
use of the State Fair. This they have
done for five years, notwithstanding
the fact that they have received no
legislative relief in return. The fair
grounds are one mile south of the
city of Hot Springs, and are reached
by a double-track trolley electric ear
line. The cars run into the grounds,
discharging and taking on passen
gers under roof, so that rain or shine,
one is not subject to dicomfort. Dur- j
ing the fair, ears run on a three min
ute schedule, and the crowds are
swiftly and safely handled without da
lays, and the run to the city taka*
hut seven minutes.
The great exposition palace is 100
by 400 feet, two stories, with concrete
floor, toilets, water fountains, res
tnurants and everything for the com
fort of the public. The great grand
stand on the second floor, facing the
mile track, will scat three thousand
people. Agricultural palace is almost
as large, stands near the main palace,
and is connected by covered passage
ways on both stories. South of these
ar# Electric Grove, where the main
amusement features are located, a
beautifully shaded lawn, glowing at
night with thousands or incandescent
lights. The grounds are beautifully
Ornamented with shrubbery and flow
• r* along the gravel walks, with
flowing fountains here and there. The
machinery, live stock and poultry de
partments comprise a large area. A
large poultry house contains pens for
thousands of fowls, while there are
comfortable stalls for several thous
and head of horses, cattle and swine
The entire plant is equipped with
waterworks and sewer s\ terns, elec
tric lights, telephone and telegraph
lines, so that communication can be
had by wire or long distance phone
whenever desired right from tli*
grounds. Better facilities for a great
j fair could hardly he designed. No
! matter what the character of exhibit.
; whether of animal or other thing, it
can be safely provided for, and shown
under the most favorable conditions
The fair is operated under a perfect
system, so that the safety of exhibits
while there, and their prompt and
safe return is assured. If you have
never before visited the Arkansas
State Fair, don't miss if this fall, and
| at the same time, have an opportu
nity to see the world fameotis health
<md pleasure resort, Hot Springs,
one of the seven wonders of the
world.
TAKE YOUR BOY TO THE FAIR
Take that boy of yours to the State
Fair this year. Take that bright, in
telligent daughter, too. A great
State Fair is an educational institu
tion of more than ordinary import
ance. It is such, not only to the
young, but to the old as well. Knowl
edge is more quickly obtained and
more firmly grasped by observation
than any other method. Tin.- fact is
recognized and utilized in all our edit
cational systems today. At the State
Fair this fall, you may see the late-t
discoveries in arts and science, in
machinery and implements for all
lines of industry, the highest grides
of live stock, the host breeds of
fowls, and the highest aehievenienis
in human skill and ingenuity, it is
a great school, and aside from the en
tertainment and pic sure oi t > ip.
will he worth to you double the ex
Dense.
AN OBJECTIONABLE RULE NOW
ABOLISHED.
A rule was in force at the State
Fail last year, stipulating that in case
j any exhibit had no competition, sec
oud money only should be awarded
A similar rule is in Iona at other!
state fairs. The management of thej
Arkansas State Fair Ihi x ear abol
ished that rule, believing it to be un I
just to the exhibitor, and it will not !
be in force this fall. The manage
ment take the vb w that any one I
bringing an animal or article to the!
fair for exhibition, does so expecting
competition, and willing to take
chances in meeting it. If there is
no competition he is not responsible1
for this, and should take first pie
i mlum,
From Lucilc’s
Diary
---1
It occurred to me a few weeks as >>
that 1 should like to identify inys- I:
with some charitable work. I think
it is broadening to one’s character ■
take part in any good movement of
that sort, and as nearly ail the fash
ionable people whom 1 know are in
terested in one or another of the
philanthropic societies of tbs city 1
determined to join one.
I heard that a member of the “Dix
Amies” had resigned on account of
moving out of town and 1 determined
to ask Ruth Ritchey to nominate me
for membership in that exclusive lit
tie circle of ten friends.
"You know, Lueile," said Ruth
rather doubtfully when I spoke of th<
matter, all the girls in our club art
hard workers We not only attend
the meetings faithfully but we pledge
ourselre* to do our utmost for the
charitiea we assist Just now we are
trying to raise a considerable sum of
money to give at Christmas time to
worthy charities "
“I'd be glad to contribute $25 if that
would be any help," 1 remarked,
casually.
"Indeed it would and it's awfully
good of you, Lucile.” Ruth's manner
was perceptibly warmer. "Of course
it would be very nice to have you in
the Thy Amies, but 1 wasn't sure
you’d like—I mean, have time for th<
work. You know we are getting up
a bazaar now.”
I just love such work," I cried
enthusiastically. ‘ Is it to be a fancy
dress affair?"
"We did think of wearing peasant
costumes."
"Oh, do." I said. "1 should choose
to be a girl from Alsace. A big Al
satian bow in my hair is so becoming
to me.”
"Of course then we shall have to
have th“ peasant costumes."
A few days later I was notified that
I had been elected to membership in
the lux Amies. I at once asked fa
tier for the amount of the initiation
fee, for it is quite impossible for m
to stretch my allowance beyond my
usual expenses.
"And father.” 1 said after he had
written the cluck, "I am extremely
anxious to contribute to the charity
fund which the club is raising tor a
Christmas offering and if you w-iil
give me $2" I'll ft -1 that you've made
me a very lovely and genephus Chris*
mas present and 1 won't expect any
other gift from you or mother."
"Why. Lucile. are you sure you
won’t he disappointed wh *n all t!
ribbons and tis»u° pap . are beii s
strewn around Christmas moiling?"
he asked.
"No, indeed. I shall be only too
happy in thinking how much good my
present from you will do others."
Father dipped his pen in the Ink
and when he had written another
i heck hi' handed it to me with a smile
tj. 't plainly showed he was pleased
with my unselfishness. Mother told
me afterward that lie was quite
touched. It's a real pleasure to me
to feel that 1 have won the approval
of my dear father.
Notwithstanding that I argued
strongly in favor of fancy dress at
the bazaar the girls decided against
it Kv«n Ruth said the money and
trouble i.hat fancy costumes cost
might better be expended upon the
worthy charities we desired to help.
The only fun 1 had at the bazaar
was in displaying a beautiful lapis
lazuli necklace which 1 put on Walk
ing around the room I tried to Induce
somi one to buy it Rut no one ap
peared to be in the mood to spend
.*20 for even such an attractive orua
m- nt fast b« - tie- bazaar closed
I went back to the jewelry booth and
told Ruth, who was in charge there,
that 1 feared it was hopeless to try
to sell it.
"Well, may he it will go if we mark
it down to $2’.. si said, thoughtfully.
"We should still make a small profit,
for the dealer h t us have it for w hole
sale price."
"Tiiut. sp' ins fiui* n bargain," I salt! '
V s, of coursi i' too bad to make
-n littb on the nf(■idano, but it would
b« ti.'tior to b t ;< go at that than
not t < sell It at all "
"1 11 take it rayv-'.f, Hath," 1 aid.
with sudden determination.
"Oh, will you? How nice'" she ex- •
claimed, as I gnvt her the n.orey. I
The day the bazaar the I)*::
\mles had a hue!: .s it-ctiny, bit I
was too tired to go Ruth came in t
see me on he* way ho: o from It at ?
told me that we had made a consld
• rable aum.
With the $25 you have so p ner
oualy promised, Luclle," «he said, "wo
shall have the amount wo hare set
our hearts upon. I suppose we cer.
have your contribution at, any time?"
"Why, I have already paid in that
$25," I answered.
You have! When?"
When I bought the lapis lazuli neck
lace.”
Why, Lueile," explained Ruth, "you
must know that only a small part o! i
the ] rice of that necklace came to1
the club.” i
"Well, you seemed very gird to 8Ci;
it and I supposed 1 was doing th c’ub
favor v.-her 1 bought It," 1 < x; luineJ.
