How to Build Good
Roads.

II we are to build good roads in
this State we must get down to the
concrete 9acts. We must stop the
orizing and experimenting. We
must learn that procrastinatlon
brings us no nearer solution OF
the problems connected with the
work to be done.
The very frst thing that we must
realize is that in order to get good
roads we shall have to spend money.
Not only that, but we shall have to
spend more money in this, work
than a great many other States are
required to spend. The material
for building the kind of roads that
we need cannot be had except at
considerable expense. We shall
have to 60 to that expense. But,
aside from the fact that it will be
good investment, even then, is it
net fact that we spend more on
our roads in ten years under the
old system of working them than it
would take to build permanent
highways. Improving dirt roads
is all right Good results are To
be seen from he work done in the
parish under the system adopted
few years ago, but there is no end
to this work nor to the expense it
entails. A dirt road may be IN
proved this year SO as to make it a
fairly good road, but it will not stay
improved Within twelve months
under ordinary conditions the same
work will have to he done over aud
at the same expense. 1'hs expense
of keeping that road ln good oondi-
ton would in ten years almost pay
for q permanent road Shreveport

AMERICA FOR AMERICANS.

The National Farmers Union in it's annual convention at Little Rock, Ark, passed a resolution condemning for eign emigration into this country and demanding that it be stopped.
 Such a resolution as this, and in such body of the citizens of this country as composed this convention of the Farmers National Union, is of the utmost significance, showing the trend of sentiment in the hearts and minds of the mighty masses of this land, the masses that shape the poli- cies of this country, who direct its destinies whenever they take upon themselves to speak out and express their will upon any vital question, making it an issue.
 This convention was made up of the very best men, farmers, typical and representative citizens of their re- spective Statesmen who, when they speak do so from their honest and earnest convictions and with the de- termination to do what they propose to do. These men were the delegates from the Farmers Union of their re- spective States and they came as far away as Oregon and Washington, from Illinois and Indiana, from Kansas, Ok lahoma and Indian Territory, and from every Southern State-from all the great Southwest. They were the rep resentatives of and spoke for more than 2,000,000 farmers of this great country, banded together to declare the rights that are theirs as sover- eigns of the soil, as American citi- zens, and they are going to accom- plish every end they have in view, not one of which is not founded upon the eternal verities of right, justice. truth, honesty and the Golden Rule.
 In this matter of foreign emigration, history is simply repeating itself, in a measure. Years ago an attempt was made to prevent foreign emigration. The New England States, filled with manufactories, wanted cheap labor, wanted the pauper element of Europe to fill this country to overfiowing, that they might obtain labor for their mills and factories for song. They killed the movement.
 Every manufacturing interest and trust interest-every corporate inter- est in this entire Union of States, stands today clamoring for increased immigration and laxer laws regulat- ing the introduction of emigrants for the same reasons that actuated the New England people. The coal mines of the land are filled with labor inn ported from the overcrowded, congest- ed countries of Europe. The street car system of New York is already manned by cheap foreign labor. h. deed, this cheap and unreliable for eign labor is gradually taking all the places where labor is needed.-The Co-Operator.

Want Commercial Congress.

Plans for the bringing of the Trans Mississippi Commercial Congress to Little Rock in 1908 have been discussed by the members of the Board of Trade, and all of the 20 delegates who will represent Arkansas at the congress to open at Muskogee, November 19, will work throughout the session to accomplish this. Little Rock is amply able to care for the delegates to such a convention. and the united efforts of all the delegates appointed from this state will be made to bring them here next year. Last year in Wash ington the congress for 1907 was ten dered to the Little Rock delegation, but they did not believe the town could entertain the congress properly, so declined the honor. The city is now in shape to. entertain a conven- tion of this magnitude and wants an opportunity to do so.

Cotton Gins On The Way.

The three cotton gins, purchased for the state convict farm at Dallas, and which have been on the way to Var ner ever since October D. arrived Sat urday morning about o'clock from TeXarkana and left Little Rock over the Valley route for Warner at 11:30 o'clock and should by this time be at their point of destination. The Iron Mountain officials were notified that the state would not tolerate any un- necessary delay in their transportation from this city to the convict railroad station. The car containing the three gins was billed from Dallas October 5 and did not leave the Texas Pacific yards until October 19. The balance of the delay occurred while the car was in transit from Dallas and while sidetracked in the yards at TeXarkana.

 Brown (speaking through the tele' phone)-My friend Smith will dine with us this evening.

 Mrs. Browns reply came back with startling distinctness:

YOUR DEBT TO THE HORSE.

When the writer was given his first team he was told to curry the horses morning and night. It is surprising what rubbing down, after hard days work, will do in keeping team in condition. If you want to keep your team fat, sleek and ready at all times for hard work, here is the reel pc. Let oats be the main grain, water regularly, feed bright timothy or up- land hay, curry and brush thoroughly every morning, and at night curry. brush and rub. That is all there is to it. Use a large piece of flannel for rubbing down the legs. Keep this up regularly and your team will be as sleek as moles and fit for the hard est kind of service.-Stockman and Farmer.

THEY WON'T SHUT DOORS.
And They Will Ride Backward, Re
 ports a Traveller of Englishmen.

Travellers returning from England tell of two habits of the people of that country which impressed them. One is the average Englishman's aversion to shutting the door behind him.
 'I don't know how it is in the Eng fish houses,' remarked one who re- turned recently from abroad, for I was not in one of them, but l stayed in hotel in London where there were 8 good many English people, and a dozen times daily 1 had to get up and shut door to keep the draught away.
 Tt didn't make any difference whether it was a servant or a guest who went through, the door was left open. This was in the spring of the year, too, when the weather was chill ly. 1 noticed the same thing in rail way coaches and hotels of smaller towns"
 The other English peculiarity is a preference for riding backward on trains The Englishman will make for the seat with it's back to the engine every time, plant himself down in it with every evidence of comfort and look wonderingly at anybody who picks out a seat facing the direction the train is going. Not once did one American traveiing in England see a native choose a seat facing the front of the train unless there were no other seats.

To Run On Time.

The Arkansas Railroad Commits sion will within the next few days is sue notice of a hearing to compel the railroads of the state to start all trains originating in the state on schedule time, allowing them to wait on con nections for only 30 minutes, and to run on schedule time by way stations unless unavoidable accidents prevent. Notice will also be issued for a hear ing to compel the railroads to keep the public informed of the movement of trains by posting reliable bulletins. Should the order be issued, railroads will be required to revise bulletins on trains every 15 minutes where neces- sary. Except trains originating in Arkansas, interstate trains will not be affected

Protecting His Magazines.

While waiting at the doctors the other day, I picked up a magazine from his table to pass the time," said the man who observes things. All through the book, on nearly every other page was stamped his name, and it so irritated me that I spoke to him about it.
 If I didn't fill that magazine up with my name, he said, it wouldn t last ten minutes in this place. Some body would be sure to carry it away. Even as it is, l lose one every little while 'n

Water Supply Being Considered.

The water question is still one of great importance to the capital city and various plans have been suggested to pipe the city's water from White river and the feasibility of this is be- ing investigated. Others hold that there are in the vicinity of Little Rock abundant sources of water supply which can be drawn upon merely by sinking wells. It has been pointed out that the city of Indianapolis, as well than Little Rock, gets it's water from wells, and that the well-known re- sources of Arkansas in the way of water veins should make the problem a comparatively simple one.

Berry Took Charge Monday.

L. P. Berry Jr., of Marion, Critten- don county, who was recently appoint ed assistant adjutant general to sue ceed J. E. Martineau, who was ap- pointed chancellor of the Pulaski dis trict to succeed Judge Jesse M. Hart, who was appointed associate justice of the Supreme Court to succeed the late Justice E. Riddick, assumed the duties of his position Monday. It was not known whether MT Berry took the oath of office at his home, which he could do, or whether he decided to wait until he arrived in Little Rock be- fore qualifying for the position. Since his salary begins from the time he is sworn in it is presumed that he had already had the oath administered to him before coming to this city. Maj. E. B. Jett has been engaged in pre- pairing a roster of the Arkansas Ma tional Guard, which he had completed for delivery to the new assistant adju- tant general upon his arrival.

EXerYthinu Bad.

A prominent planter recently had occasion to visit some of his holdings in southern Arkansas. The land was situated several miles from railroad, and it was necessary to finish the journey in a buggy. So he took a friend with him and started out.
 After trayersing several miles of sparsely settled country, they came upon a farmer blowing corn on the side of hill The planter, wishing to appear civil to his neighbors, stopped his horse and yelled at the man, who came to the fence, mopping his face with a red bandana.
 Good morning"
 "Mornin', mister!"
 "You live here, suppose?"
 "Yep."
 "How's crops?"
 Fair to middlin'"
 That's bad hill you're blowing"
 q know it. Bad hoss, pullin' tn blow, bad blow, bad everything.
 Why, you talk like you were the poorest man in Arkansas" laughed the planter.
 T ain't, though" was the response, as the young fellow smiled good naturedly Another feller owns talf O this crop"

May Return To the Farm.

Governor Pindall will in all proba bility return to the State convict farm this week, but as yet he has not de finitely determined. It is the desire of the Governor to spend several days on the farm, if possible, in connection with considerable work which is to be done. He will go as the representa- tive of the Board of Penitentiary Com missioners and will order such work performed as he deems advisable.

State Capital Notes
Important Decisions.

The session of the Supreme Court The decision of the court declaring the Russellville Waterworks bill un- constitutional was perhaps the most important and far-reaching opinion
 handed down by the Supreme Court for years. It means that improvement work being done at Pine Bluff, Helena,
 DeQueen and Brinkley, as well as at Russellyille, shall be stopped, until these districts are reorganized, under the general statutes governing such cases. It applies only in cases of cities and towns, and does not affect any improvements under way in this city. The constitutional provision under which the court held the law invalid
 was Section 27 of Article 19, which provides that no improvements shall be made unless under and with the consent of majority in value of the property holders to be affected. Judge John Fletcher was counsel for Craig, who brought the suit to the Supreme Court, on appeal from the Poke Coun- ty Chancery Court. The affirmation of the decision of the Izard Circuit Court, in the case of the Iron Noun tain vs. The State, is a sweeping vic tory for the railroad commission, and establishes the power of the commis- sion without a shadow of doubt, to require and compel railroads to per form what is considered to be req sonable service to the public. The de cision of the court, affirming the de cision of the Independence County Cir cult Court in the case of Browning vs. The State, was no surprise to those who have kept in touch with the facts. Browning shot and killed T. w. Mid kiff, agent for the railroads at Wal
 nut Ridge, it being alleged that he became exasperated at Midkiff for his failure to receive a reply to a message sent earlier in the day. Browning will have to serve his term in prison

The responsibility for daughters future largely rests with the mother.
 The right influence and the infor- nation which is of vital interest to the daughter imparted at the proper time has not only saved the life but insured the success of many a beau tiful girl.
 When girls thoughts become sluggish, with headache, dizziness or a disposition to sleep, pains in back or lower limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude; when she is a mystery to herself and friends, her moth e r should come to her aid, and remem- Der that Lydia E.
