The travelling public in East
ern Arkansas are demanding that
a joint station' be erected at
Bridge Junction, and that all
trains be required to stop there.
They say that they will save 75
cents when they want to go to
some Northeast Arkansas point,
and do not care to cross the river
into Memphis, and come back,
because the trains do not stop at
the Junction. The Railroad Com
mission has received a strong pe
tition on the subject, and has no
tified the Iron Mountain, the
Cotton Belt, the Rock Island and
Frisco that a hearing will be
given on the matter at the office
of the Commission in Little Rock
Wednesday, March 1. The pe
titioners add: '‘Bridge Junction
is a junction point of all these
roads and trains, both passenger
and freight, both fast and local,
should be required to stop at this
transfer point. We also petition
you to have a joint station built
here and a station agent located
therein."
Remember The Kids.
People of influence today are
more concerned about the wel
fare of the child than at any
other time in history, because
they are the men and women of
destiny. In their hands in a
short time will be all the interest
of life and those that concern
eternity.
Plenty of room for dives and
dens (glitter and glare of sin),
Plenty of room for prison pens
(gather the criminal in);
Plenty of room for jails and
courts (willihg enough to pay);
But never a place for the lads
to race—no, never a place to
play.
Plenty of room for shops and
stores (Mammon must have the
best);
Plenty of room for the running
sores that rot in the city's breast.
Plenty of room for the lures
that lead the heart of our youths
astray,
But never a cent on play
grounds spent, no, never a place
to play.
Plenty of room for the schools
and halls, plenty of room for art;
Plenty of room for teas and
balls, platform, stage and mart.
Proud is the city—she finds a
place for many a fad today;
But she's more than blind if
she fails to find a place for the
boys to plav.
Give them a chance for inno
cent sport, give them a chance
for fun—
Better a playground than a
court and jail after the harm is
done.
Give them a chance—if you
stint them now, tomorrow you’ll
have to pay
A larger bill for a darker ill—
so give them a chance to play.
