bills come in. Some of the creations called hats are wonderful triumphs of the milliner's art, even if we leave out the cost mark. but that is not the worst of 1t, as we learn from the fol- lowing which we take from The Port land Oregonian:
 A new phase of this subject has. Mahon. She tells US in unmistakable language that the picture hat" is more than likely to carry away from the atmosphere in which it Is created something more than is dlscernible to the naked eye; that 1t is designed and builded in the fetid atmosphere of the reeking sweatshop; that disease germs find lodgment in it's dainty folds Of chiffon and velvet and are carried into the outside world by means of its nod ding plumes and cunningly fashioned flowers. While of course this is not true of all picture hats. 1t may be true of some. If conditions under which these and other pattern" hats are man ufactured prevail in Chicago, as Miss Mahon asserts is the case. the situa- tion is a grave one, not only for the Wearers of these achievements of the millinery art, but for the wretched toil- CTS who produce them. The wages paid for the work are the very smallest item in the cost of the hat Four women, she tells us, working In most unsani- tdrY Surrou unulHBS, prOuuCeu Iorty- eight picture hats in six days.

 and no way to dodge or escape them. Hardly any thing that we touch. or that touches us is free from germs of some kind or other, and the disquieting feature of it is that we never know when we may stumble on nest of them and be innoculated with something awful. If it is true that these picture hats act as store rooms and perambulators for disease germs man need not fiatter himself that he Is not in danger mere- ly because he doesn't wear the thing.

east and west. A person wishing to
cross the country in any other than
these directions must necessarily do so
In rectangular ZigZags. 1t also neces-
states very often the crossing and re-
crossing of hills and valleys which
might be avoided if the roads had been
constructed on scientific principles.
In the prairie state of Iowa. for eX-
ample, where roads are no worse than
In many other states, there is great
cr number of roads having much steep
er grades than are found in the noun
famous republic of Switzerland. In
Maryland the old Stagcc0ach road or
turnpike running from Washington to
baltimore makes almost Il bee line"
regardless of hills or valleys, and the
grades ut places are as steep as 10 or
l. per cent where by making little de
tours the road might have been made
perfectly level or by running it up the
hills least abruptly the grade might
have been reduced to 3 or per cent
as is done in the hilly regions Of many
parts of this and other countries
Straight roads are the proper kind to
have, but in hilly countries their
Straightness should always be sacri-
feed to obtain n level surface so as to
better accommodate the people who
use them,
Graceful and natural curves conform
ing to the lay Of the land add beauty
10 the landscape, besides enhancing the
value of the property. Not onlD do lev

Scapc and make lands along them
more valuable, but the horse is able
TO utilize his full strength over them.
furthermore, Il horse can pull only
lour-hfthS as much on Il grade of two
feet i'll 100 feet. This gradually lessons
until with grade of ten feet in 100
feet he can draw but one-fourth as
much rs he can on level road
All roads should therefore wind
around l&lls or he cut through instead
of running over them, and in many
eases the former can be done without
greatly increasing the distance. To
Illustrate, If an apple or pear be cut
In half and one of the halves placed on

GOOD ROAD PROBLEM
Importance of Laying Out a High
way Properly.
AVOID ALL STEEP GRADES.

Straight Roads the Right Kind to Have,
but In HiIly Countries Their Straight
ness Should Be Sacrificed to Obtain
Level Surface.
All the important roads in the United
States can be and doubtless will be
macadamizcd or otherwise improved in
the not distant future. This cNpecta-
ton should govern their present loca-
ton and treatment everywhere. I'm
less changes are made in the location
of the roads in many parts of the Unit
ed States it would be worse than folly
to macadamize them. ANY costly re
surfacing of the existing roads will
fastcn them where they are for genera
tons" says General Stone. The chief
difficulty in the United States IS not
with the surface, but with the steep
grades, many of which are too long
to he reduced by cutting and filling on
the present lines, and If this could be
done 1t would cost more in many cases
than relocating them, says Motor News.
Many of our roads We're originally
laid ont without any attention to gen
cral topography, and in most cases fol-
lowed the settlers path from cabin to
cabin. the pig trail. or ran along the
boundary lines of the farms regardless
of grades or direction. Most of them
remain today where they were located
years ago, and where untold labor, cX
penSc and energy have been wasted in
trying to haul over them and in en-
dcavorS to improve their condition.
The great error is made of continu-
ing to follow these primitive paths
with our public highways. The right
course IS to call in an engineer and
throw the road around the end or
along the side Of steep hills instead Of
continually going over them or to pull
the road up on dry. solid ground in
stead of spiashing through the mud
and water Of the creek or swamp. Far
more time and money have been vast
ed IN trying to keep up a single mile
of one of these pig track surveys
than it would take to build and keep in
repair two miles of good road
Another and perhaps greater error is
made Ivy some persons in the west who
continue to lay out their roads ON ''sec
ton lines These sections are az
rquar". with sides running north. south

Leyee Case Taken Under Adyisement.

Jonesboro, October 5.-(Special.) )- The case against Walker HiggiD- botham, a member of the St. Francis Leyee Board, seeking to remove him as member of the board, was heard yesterday afternoon in the circuit court. Mir. Shafar made the argu- ment in favor of the state, and MT. Norton argued in behalf of the de- fendant. MT. Norton stated that he did not think it the place of the prose- cutting attorney to bring the suit, but that of Attorney General Kirby. Judge Smith has taken the case under consideration and will read the au- thorities and has announced that he will render an opinion later. He did not set any particular time. but il is thought that it will be several days yet before he acts on the matter.

Death oi Mrs. Goad

esterday morning as the writer came down to his place of business he met his friend Mir. A. ]. Goad, and was at once impressed with the thought that something had gone wrong with him.. He was sad-faced, and grieying the death of his beloved wife.
 Mrs. Hattie Jane Goad, wife of Mr. A. J. Goad, of two and a half miles Southwest of Forrest City, died We'd nesday night at ll:20 o'clock of pneu- monia, at their home. She had been i'll for three months, and about two weeks ago was stricken with pneu- monia, and though everything that skill and love could do was done for her she gradually grew worse until Wednesday, when she seemed some better, but this was only the begin ming of the end.
 Hattie Jane Goad was born in Hick- man county, Tennessee, and was 49 years of age. She was a consistent member of the Chris tian church, hay ing moved her membership here from Columbia, Tennessee, about two years ago. She was married to Mir. Goad 2S years ago, the 3lst day of last July, and they lived happily together all those years. The precious remains were inferred in the Forrest City cemetery yesterday afternoon at , o'clock, Eld. Newman of the Baptist church officiating.
 MT and Mrs. Goad had no children of their own, but about two weeks ago took 10 year-old boy and girl from the Leath Orphan Home in Memphis They will be returned to the home.
 The death of his beloved wife and companion of all these years is ter rible blow to Mir. Goad, and he has the sincere sympathy of the entire com munity in his great atiliction. That God may comfort him and soften his grief is our wish and prayer.

Misbehayior at Opera House.

The behavior of some of the younger patrons of the opera house during the play of Monte ChriSto last Tuesday night was very unbecoming and rude to say the least of it. The company was far above the average ones seen here, in fact their rendition of Monte Christo was exceptionally good. and they deserved the best of attention instead they were interrupted during the most pathetic part of the play with remarks that were audible all over the house.
 It is to be hoped that there will not be a repetition again.
 The boys who always occupy the front seats and who only pay 25c ad- mission and who have shown on many occasions that they go to the opera house solely to cut up, talk and throw paper balls regardless of the people who pay 75c for their seats and have to be annoyed by their disgraceful conduct.
 The patrons have been thus annoy ed until their patience has been ex- hausted, and unless there is a decided change for the better in the conduct of these boys, the patronage of the opera house is going to suffer as con- sequence. A PATRON.
