ment Of Sentiment.
1t is an unquestionable fact that
good roads associations. properly or.
ganized and maintained, are an impor.
tant factor in the development of good
roads sentiment. from the primary
thought to the complete fruiion
Where bad roads prevail 1t is usually
because the building of good ones, be-
ing everybodys business. becomes no
body's business, or because there is
no sufficient public demand for their
construction.
In those localities where the build
ing of good roads is in the hands OF
intelligent local officials the work is
performed exactly to the extent of the
public demand; no more, no less,
Here the association can. by careful
and painstaking effort. be of much
service in dispelling the ignorance of
many otherwise intelligent persons
anent the value of good roads. Most
of these become good roads advocates
when the Importance of the subject is
fairly presented The association, to
dividual, can collate and disseminate
the figures which show the value of
good roads, and thus widen the influ.
ence of the propaganda.
1t is also within the province of a
good roads association to take a lead.

suing bonds for road building. There
are many people who look upon such
an obligation with a feeling akin to

their possessions, with foreclosure

In fact, the properly managed associa.
tion should be able to show that the
investment of borrowed money where
it will pay profit much larger than
the interest and the deposit for sink

things can be shown in association
meetings, where a free expression
can be had, better than under almost
any other circumstances.
The good roads association can also
become a power, If it chooses, in the
influence it can bring to bear on the
nomination and election of officials
who are pledged to the extension of
good roads interests, to the enact.

Construction of a Concrete Road


The first thing necessary in prepar.
ing to construct a concrete roadway,
as in building any other kind of a
road, is to establish the subgrade. In
this preliminary work the question Of
drainage is highly important. Water
must be kept out of the foundation of
road. or soon or late, it will de.
stroy the superstructure. Newton
did not discover gravitation, nor did
Franklin invent lightning-the mere
ly observed phenomena and formu.
lated the rules of their action; So
when MacAdam said that the metaled
surface of road must ultimately re.
ceive its support from the earth sub
grade, he merely stated a physical
fact which had been unconsciously re-
garded by the road builders of anci.
ent times, but never before formulat.
ed. A concrete surface will cover de-
fects in the foundation better than
any other, on the same general prin-
ciple that a masonry arch concen-
trates its loads and stresses at the
piers, but inasmuch as concrete sur.
facing is not laid according to scien.
tific specifications for bridge con-
struction, it, too is dependent upon
the earth subgrade for support

President Hadley, a writer in the
Bohemian says, is as witty as he is

are conducted by prominent clergy
men of many denominations and from
many cities. When these visiting
preachers occasionally ask President
Hadley how long they shall speak he
invariably replies

The subarade.

The earth subgrade of any road

In the recent campaign there ap- peared printed speech under the title Liberty vs. Prohibition . This address purported 10 be written in behalf of Liberty It was also plea for atheism and anarchy. In addition to slandering the clergy generally, the writer assumed the task of attacking two of the churches represented in Forrest City. one indirectly and the ether rectly. There waS no cause nor proyocation to justify the unkind mention of the Presbyterian chHrch or Westminster Confession of Faith. l shall resent the attack and refute the false charge. The charge as brought by the writer is not politi- cal question and transcends prohibit tion in importance, and as such we shall deal with it. We shall give the writer's justification for thus calum- mating this church, and answer the question. 'Is there a God?a at our evening service next Sunday The address will be begun at s pm.

 Poultry has always been one Of the strongest hobbies of Secretary F. D. Fuller and consequently all kindred spirits in the three states will be given an opportunity in the three states will be given an opportunity this fall to pursue studies in feathers" to their hearts desire
 The corps at the Tri-State Fair grounds for the big collection of chick ems, geese, turkeys, guineas, ducks, etc., that are to be exhibited, will all be full. As a usual thing. MT. Fuller says there is room to let for poul- try exhibits until only few days before a mir opens it's gates.
 The Tri-State Fair space for the feathered families. however, has near. ly all been allotted and indications point strongly to the necessity of ad- ditional space or the rejection of many applications for exhibiting room. The poultry show is attracting general at. tention.
 Much attention has been given to the sanitary arrangement of the poul- try building. And sanitation is a sub- ject over which Mir. Fuller admits he is an ineurable "crank." The most effective way to display aything, he says. is 10 display 1t where 1t has the advantage of healthful surround. ings. Never give a feathered crea- ture particularly a chance 10 look sick. ish or dropped is his advice.
