State Sanitation Society Proposed.

otate o1nitation SoSie FropoSco
 The organization of an Arkansas Sanitation Society, to be composed of the members of Boards of Health throughout the state, property owners, doctors. lawyers and business men and to have for it's purpose the prevention of disease by sanitation, is now being talked by many physicians through out the state
 Definite steps toward the organiza- tion of such society will probably be taken soen
 Already Dr. J. C. Minor of Hot Springs, major surgeon of the Arkan- sas Natonal Guard, whose methods in keeping the Arkansas encampment in perfect sanitary condition at Leon Springs. Tex, brought forth many compliments from regular army off cers, has taken up the project and is pushing if as rapidly as possible. He has announced that he will attempt to interest state and municipal officers in the movement
 Concerning the project and the eoY-
  ington. D. C., which Dr. Minor will at tend as ono of the delegates from Ar kansas. Dr. Minor has the following to say:
 Tn accepting the commission to rep resent the state of Arkansas at the International Congress on Tuberculo- sis in Washington now assembled desire to say that the subjects to be considered there are necessarily so wide ia scope, both scientifically and practical, that will be unable to take interest in any but the practical pa pers, believing that such attention can be better transmitted to the people of our state and give more satisfactory returns in the way of preventing dis ease I presume the other delegates will look after the scientific end of It.
 ITO assist in the practical part of | the great work, I am going to ask the | press to advise all state and munich l pal officials to become interested in a State Sanitation Society. the society to be composed of the members of Boards of Health throughout the state, togeth CT with property holders. doctors | lawyers and business men. The or | ganization should meet in general con, vention once year, and discuss the | points of interest presented by local | or municipal boards.
 The state organization should be | encouraged by the legislature. All practical work done by the organi- zation will be appreciated by the in | dividual citizens; all scientific work will be recognized and valued by the national association.
 The real work of prevention of dis ease is to be done first, last and all | the time by the local boards of sani. l tation: the scientific bodies only point the way.

Case May Wait Until December.

Manager A. R. Bragg of the Little Rock Merchants Freight Bureau Thursday announced that he did not think the hearing of the case Of Little Rock shippers against the trunk lines of Arkansas, in which the railroads are charged with discriminating in freight rates between Mississippi river crossing points and Little Rock. would be heard by the Interstate Commerce Commission before December.
 Our case is No l7O9 on the dock et," stated Manager Bragg, and l do not think it will be heard before De cember at least IL will he heard. of course. in Arkansas
 Meanwhile the new freight rates ordered by the railroads wit go into effect. The new Memphis freight rates went into effect September l, and the new rates from St. Louis, Mo, will go into effect September 2f. The shippers cannot prevent the railroads from putting into effect the new and increased rates. as they did not bring an injunction suit.
 In the suit filed by the shippers they charge that the railroads have in creased freight rates on commodities in the past two years to the extent of 9 per cent.

prosperity and activity OF the people.
All these points are In Legitimate
support of the construction and main
tenance OF good roads. says the South
ern Cultlvator. Many other reasons
might be cited In their favor. 1t does
seem anomalous that, amid all our
boosted national progress, this great
necessity of modern civilization should
be kept so far in the background.
The nation needs better and more
substantial highways. and 1t is hope
full to see indications that this subject
will soon receive more attention from
our national and state lawmakers than
heretofore. The Importance of good
rural Highways Is being more thor
oughly recognized by business men and
than ever before, and tho
need no argument TO convince
them that better roads will improve
their business materially.

BIG BOOST For GOOD ROADS
Plan to Hold a Monster Meeting In q.
Paul In December.

Plan TO Hold Monster Meeting In e..
Paul In December.
Unless something Unforeseen occurs
St Paul will probably entertain some
time next December the biggest good,
roads meeting ever held In Minnesota
or the surrounding states. George w.
Cooley. state highway engineer, Is
planning on such meeting, and II the
necessary arrangement can DO made,
as now seems probable, 1t will b held.
The idea OF holding monster Oood
roads meeting was conceived By AR.
Cooley after the meeting recently held
In st. Paul, to which the county com.
missloners as well a. otheFs interested
In good roadS were InVIted. This meet
ting showed the Wtda1OEoad interest
taken Ia the matter throughout tho
Otato. He expected botV0on 100 and
800 70 attend, but tn dance grew
70 about 600, says tie e. Raul Pioneer
Proa1. The same feollAS has been
shown in the meetings which he has
addressed in the smaller towns
throughout the state, the farmers COM
ing In to attend the meetings in large
numbers and showing an active inter
est in the good road problem.
"If the meeting Is held 1t Will cover
the field thoroughly" said Mr.. Cooley.
at will be an exposition of roadmak-
ing machinery and materials, with
practical talks by men Of wide expert
ence In the various details of the work
In large meeting OF this kind much
better results can be obtained than by
the smaller local meetings because In
such n meeting as we expect to hold.
the manufacturers will have exhibits
of all kinds of machinery used In fond.
making, and we can have speakers of
wide experience at such a meeting
which is impossible for all of the
smaller meetings A question box
would be feature. and through this
means any one confronted by specla.
problems il roadmaking would be
able to got the advice of the men quail
fed to give 1t.
~ have not yet decided definitely on
the plan, but there Is a general de-
mand for auch meeting, and II 1t
can possibly be done the plans Will be
carried out"
Mr. Cooley's plan is to eliminate the
"hot air" talks about good roads gen.
orally and to make 1t an instructive
meeting by having men go to St Paul
who know about tho practical details
OF roadmaklng. Those who Will go
will do 80 for the purpose Of learning
something about the building Of good
roads, and 1t Is the intention to meet
this expectation fully. The meeting
Will probably last one week. The ex-
hibits will cover stone crushers. road
rollers. steel and concrete bridge work,
culverts and all sorts of machinery
and material used In road building.

HINTS FROM MISSOURI.

How 70 Use the King Drag and Have
an Ideal Road.
In missouri the roads are really bad.
and Improvement by the King roAA
drag has been taken up systematically.
The following suggestions are from .
bulletin by the Missouri board OF agRt-
etalture:
Don't drive too fast.
Don't walk. Get on tho drag and ride.
Don't walt for your noI8bbors to take
hoid. They may be waiting on you.
Don't wait for the big grader to
come and shape up your road. All
you can do first will help to mako the
work OF the grader permanent
Don't try to drag with one piecei use
two. One will scoop out the holloWS
In the road and deepen them. When
two are used the one keeps the other
up. and soon the hollowB will have
filled and become level like the balance
Of the road.
Don't walt for good roads until the
city folks begin to talk about mac
adam at public expense. This will cost
from 5000 to $1,000 mile. and for
country purposes. where there Is no
heavy hauling, 1t IL no better than. not
as easily maintained aA road proper
ly made with tho drag. Five dollars
a mile with proper use OF the road
drag will keep the ordinary country
road that Is properly drained. graded
and bridged or culverted In f1rst class
condition nine months In the year and
make 1t fairly decent road the other
three months. But this cannot BIO done
In one year or two. The longer the
drag is used intelligently the better
the road viii become until finally 1t
Is oval and smooth and hard and elias
tic. This Ia the ideal road, and moth
ing but a road properly made with the
drag or an asphalt road meets all these
requirements.
