ARKANSAS PICTURE
MAKES BIG HIT
Most Beautiful Girl in U. S.
Shown Dedicating Big Hy
dro Electric Da»n
High praise for the Arkansas
Hydro-Electric Company’s stir
ring film, “The River of Mon
ey,” is being accorded by the
newspapers wherever this in
teresting picture is shown.
The picture was made under
the supervision of the Arkansas
Advancement Association at the
dedication of Dam No. 1 of the
Arkansas Hydro-Electric I level
opment Company on the Lit
tle Red River, and is being
shown in the state in an ef
fort to promotte wider inter
ests in the State’s resources
and particularly in Arkansas’
hydro-electric development.
The leading actors are Miss
Edith Mae Patterson of Pine
Bluff, recently adjudged the
most beautiful girl in the
United States, Governor T. C.
McRae, and Virgli C. Pettie,
President of the Arkansas Hy
dro Electric Development Co.
The picture not only shows
Miss Patterson in all her beau
ty in striking close-ups but al
so gives a good view of the
10,000 persons who attended
the dedication and barbecue
at Camp Livingston recently.
When these pictures were
shown in Bald Knob the
Searcy Daily Cittizen in its re
port declared:
“They were so plain that
small kids were able to recog
nize themselves in the crowd
on the bank. Miss Patterson,
Mr. Pettie and Governor Mc
Rae were shown individually

HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS
PLAY TWO GAMES
Boys Win, Girls Lose in Open
ing Games at Tuckerman
Last Friday
The double header games
at Tuckerman last Saturday
between the local high school
basketeers and those of that
place opened the basket ball
season in earnest for Newark
High School. The local team
made splendid showings, split
ting the scores about evenly
with two strong opposing
teams. Newark’s boys won a
victtory of 38 to 20 in one of
the smoothest and swiftest
games they have ever played.
But the girls,—well. Tuck
erman’s girls certainly knew
the game, one another, and
furthermore, seemed to know
just where our weak points
were. Anyway they gave us
Newark boys and girls an op
portunitty to feel blue. But
with such skillful sportsmen
to defeat us we couldn’t stay
blue. Neither could you.
We’ll whisper the score, 29 to
9, against our home girls, but
we’re proud of the fight our
girls made.

er man, knowing we had stir
red at d :30 a. m. to catch our
hot shot, intervened to give us
a rest for the coming contest
by pouring out a whole cloud
in that vicinity. While this
was going on—coming down
to be explicit—our boys lim
bered themselves up by chang
ing clothes again and again.
Interspersed with rain and
clothes changing was some
popular music in the auditor
ium by one of Tuckerman’s
high school girls.
Newark, those teams are
coming for a second game here
on our local courts on Friday
afternoon, Dec. 9. We are
proud of your support in ath
letics as well as in uur literary
work, and we want you to
turn out en mass to see us play
Tuckerman again. We hope
to play other good teams soon,
several of them. And just here
for the consolation of those
who might fear we devote an
undue portion of time to ath
letics let me say that authen
tic statistics show that mem
bers of athletic teams all over
the country make higher
grade averages in their liter
ary work than do non-partici
pating students. Our Univer
sity athletic teams have made
higher averages in other schol
astic attainments than the rest
of the student body combined,
even counting the teams’ aver
ages in with the general aver
age. Moreover, just this week
while examinations are being
closed, I find that our boys
and girls who participate in
athletics to any extent have
made grades appreciably
above the average for the en
tire school.
Come out the 9th, and help
us win.

The Opening of My New
Sales Barn, One of The
Largest in the South
This Barn has the floor space for 100 mules and
horses, and at least this number will be kept on
hand at all times.
My policy will be to keep only the finest farm-bred
Missouri Mules at all times. I have a salried buyer
who does nothing but drive over the finest mule
raising sections of Missouri, buying the pick of them
all for me. These mules have never before been
on the market and are, therefore, free from disease.

BURGLARS DON’T SEEK
THE LIMELIGHT
13 ARK NESS is their stock in trade.
They work by stealth—unheard and unseen—
their movements cloaked in secrecy. It’s hon
est folks that seek the light. They are the
only ones who can risk it.
It's the same way in business. The mer
chant who is not sure of his goods does not
dare to advertise. Advertising would hasten
the end of his business career—put him to a
test he could not meet.
The merchant who advertises, deliberately
invites your inspection. He tells you about his
product and then lets it stand on its own
merits. YOU CAN DEPEND ON HIM. HE
KNOWS HIS PRODUCT IS GOOD.
I hat s one reason why it pays you to read
the advertisements. It is through advertising
that you are able to keep in touch with the
good things that progressive business men are
handling for your benefit and convenience.
Advertisements throw a powerful lighi
on the \ cry things that concern you most.
