Eels and the searchIieht.

Danish investigators have found means of checking the downward mi grafton of breeding eels to the sea, whereby it is hoped that a valuable food supply may be saved for the country, for these migrating eels, when they have once reached the sea never return to their native rivers. The method is simplicity itself A large acetylene searchlight is placed by the river bank in such a position that its rays can be made to Illuminate the comparatively shallow water and It is found that by this means the down ward movement of the fish can be eff fectively checked.

 To be fit to be an American citi- zen he has got to preserve his self respect and conduct himself so as to wrong no one. Fathers need the most preaching to.

TO CONSOLIDATE ELECTIONS.

Senator-elect John Keel, of the 2oth senatorial district, says that he will introduce a bill at the next general assembly to consolidate the state and presidential elections and The News hopes it will receive the support of enough members o1 that body to become law.
 Arkansas has too many elections for the peoples good and the mass of voters will not turn out to any of them except the primary and it is held at time of year when the farmers are really too busy to give it the proper attention.
 One election on the first Tues day after the first Monday in No vember and the primary in July would be the means of getting out a bigger vote on both occasions and the state and county officials could commence their terms of of flee on the first of January instead of the first of November.
 The cost of holding two elections also means a great amount of mon ey to the taxpayers which would be saved. In speaking of the pro posed bill MT Keel say: Such a bill has been introduced before, but was defeated. It is said that it was feared at that time that feder- al authorities would interfere with the election, and that Democratic voters might be coerced into vot- ing for the Republican ticket l do not believe that there is any such fear in existence now. how ever, and see no reason why my bill should be opposed"

GOOD ROADS.

The Romans were the greatest road builders the world has ever seen. From the earliest times they saw the necessity of having easy and safe means of communi- cation between all the cities of Italy and later, as they acquired provinces in France, Germany and England, they saw the greater needs of good roads over which to transport their munitions of war feedstuffs to garrisons and armies and army trains.
 Bring one of those old warriors oyer to America today and let hin take a look at our roads. He would wonder if it were possible for a civilized country to carry any. thing over some of our roads. II the Spring and Fall the roads il  many places are impossible, mak ing the farmers the prey of specu lators who know that they cal safely boost the price of certail commodities because. although tn crop is plentiful. nevertheless it i not available for the market on ac count of the bad road.
 The good roads commission no, meeting in Paris should furnis Americans with good many prao ticle ideas and the results of tn commission will be watched wit interest.

ARE LEARNING TO DRINK MILK
Only Lately Have the Japanese Even
 Tolerated the Beverage.

Japan is learning to drink milk. Japanese newspaper says of the rhe. nemenon: There was a time when milk was regarded in Japan with the same abhorrence as cheese is in China, especially the pungeHt and strong-smelling variety. Recent staas- tics, however, show that time has worked a great change in this respect and milk and butter are now in great favor in Japan. Whereas 25 years age not more than one or two per cent of the persons visiting European restaurant or eating a European meal at a friends home would have thought of touching butter. fully 40 or 50 per cent. now eat it with a relish. They are, however, quite content to do without it.
 AS to dairy farms, they have in creased notably in recent years. Thirty or 40 years ago milk was abhorred The average Japanese could not in duce himself to drink it. But to-day many a household consumes one or two bottles of milk daily, partly be- cause people have come to like 1t and partly because the doctors have recom- mended it as a unique and wholesome beverage.
 Milk halls too, are now quite numerous. Butter will probably take much longer to come widely into vogue because of it's responsiveness. A pound of fresh butter costs at least one yen (49S cents gold) in Tokyo to- day, an extremely high price for Japan"

Snake Opal Lucky.

A snake opaF' must be an invalu. able possession. It is the lucky stone" of the Mojave Indians, who say it frightens away bad luck. The stone is not beautiful but might appeal to those who like gems that are different" It is said that the In dians never allow these stones to leave the tribe if they can help it, and will not part with one for any consideration Tradition has made the stone one of good omen, but that courts for little, as tradition is gen. erally hooted at in the present day, and wherever it raises it's head other stones than snake opals are shied at it. Perhaps some superstitious bridge player, however, will try to get hold of a snake opal and try its efficacy.

Blake Street Grading.
Town Engineer Rosenberg presented
the plat of Blake street above 10th,
grading it at $l,6OO There was con
siderable discussion which resulted IN
asking for a new estimate for spe-
cial grade, about one-half of that es
tablished, which would make the cost
approximately $500. "Too much of
'uxury' was the way one of the city

The use Of cement pipes to convey
irrigation water, thus preventing loss
by evaporation and seepage is an idea
that has been successfully worked out
in California, and one that ID being
considered by the farmers of Garfield
county.
In an interview given at Pueblo,
California man expressed the belief
that his was an excellent idea.
In parts of Eagle county the plan of
cementing the bottom Of the bitches
has been tried successfully. Concern.
ing this the Pueblo Chieftain says:
"Having extensively investigated
the land and water conditions of south.
eastern Colorado, with special refer
ence to the Arkansas valley, Franklin
P. Summers of Los Angeles yesterday
made the statement that he saw NO
reason why Colorado should not be as
great an agricultural state as any in
the union. He favors the laying of con-
crete pipes in the fields to take the
place of the irrigation ditches, main
tanning that enough water is lost
through evaporation in the open ditcn
systems to irrigate all of the land now
under cultivation in southeastern Col
orado.
"In parts of Kansas and in Cali.
fornia,' said Mr.. Summers, "the con-
crete irrigation pipes are used in the
fields and are effective. The expense
is something, but the results are some
thing also. Concrete is cheaper than
it was few years ago and can now
be used by the ranchers to an ad-
vantage, for it appears to me that it
is better to 60 to the expense, though
it is pretty heavy, and have good
crops than to go to less expense and
not have any.
"The concrete pipes protect the wa
ter from evaporation, do not tear up
the field and allow more acreage for
raising crops. Three years ago in
California l purchased the ranch of
man who had failed because Of inabil-
ity to get water. The concrete pipes
were then just coming into use in
few places. but could see no other
way to make that ranch pay. I put in
the concrete laterals and a. result
had enough water all during the sum
mer.
cit is astonishing how rapidly the
water evaporates, even from the rivers

if you please, on the Sabbath Day, and

and pass a church door invitingly open.
And in a quiet corner you again hear
