Good Roads Movement.
Meeting to Be Held in Court Park on the
Afternoon OF August 3lst
Editor Times:

Editor Times:
In order to get movement start
ed for the building of good roads in
Boone county, and as am expected
to take the lead in the interest of
building public roads and highways,
| take pleasure in calling a good
roads meeting for Thursday, August
3lst, at O'Clock p m. Of said day,
in the Court Park at Harrison. An
invitation is extended to all who
NAV have an interest in the building
up of our county to be present and
take part in this meeting. All the
overseers are especially urged TO be
in attendance, This August 10th,
1911. \. n ALEXANDER,
County Judge.
The above call is in response to
general agitation throughout the
county. 1t is proposed that a Good
Roads Association be organized,
and that the aid of State and Fed
eral government be solicited in fnan-
cling and supervising the work.
The initial work, as now planned,
will be a road of more than ten
miles, leading from Harrison to-
ward Bergman, the connecting sta
ton of the White River division
of the great Iron Mountain rail
Railroad and then from Harri-
son in the other direction to Jasper,
the county seat of Newton county.
The length of this road would be
about 80 miles. Roads leading out
of Harrison have beeh kept in much
better shape for the last few years,
and the few automobiles in town
now drive ont seven to ten miles in
some directions, where few years
ago it was unpleasant, even in a
mountain buggy.
1t is hoped that the farmers or
ganizations will join in the effort to
set aside the whole of September as
good roads month, every house
holder throughout the county agree
ing to do all he can to get the roads
in shape during that time.

According to official information
received from the State Board of
Education this week the Harrison
High School has been designated as
the State High School for Boone
County, and will receive regularly
from the State $4,000 per annum.
In return for this every grammar

High School; and it will be neces-
sary for our school to come up in
every way to high standard fixed
by the State Board of Education
Even before this notification had
been received, our Board, following
the wishes of the people as expressed
at the last School Election, had pre-
pared for an enlargement of our
school building and facilities in gen.
.eral.
Their issue of twenty thousand
dollars in FIVE per cent bonds was
this week arranged for with Fran
els Bros, of st. Louis, who, at SO

This loan was arranged for through

for the erection of the new building
is available in cash at once. Full
plans have already been prepared by
a Fort Smith architect, and the
Board will be ready to receive bids
within the next week.

bill to the people, the active woroers
for submission will accomplish their
purpose, and the voters of Arkansas

general election. Reports from all
over the state show scattering sig
natures, but as no great number is
required, they will probably be Sc
cured, The peculiar feature about

Arkansas has the greatest var

Union. Her soils range from the
limestone soil in the north ard
northwest to the black lands of the
east and southeast. All varieties of
soils are found between these two
extremes.

possibilities of the state are second

do not call to mind a cereal that
cannot be raised in Arkansas at a

soils that crops unknown to one
section are grown in another section
and by an exchange Of products our
farmers are saved the expense and
trouble of importing any of the
necessities of life.

advantages over other sections,
think our long growing seasons de-
serve to be especially emphasized in
our advertising literature The
great length of our growing season
permits the double crop system to
be used to great advantage. Ark
ansas is the land Of double crops,
always two, and sometimes three
crops may be secured from one tract
of land in one year. A full crop of
peas may be secured after the oat
crop is harvested. Some winter
crop, as for instance burr clover,
rye, wheat or winter oats may be
sown in the fall This crop will be
harvested in time to permit corn or
cotton to be planted. Peas may be
sown in the last cultivation.
A good rotation and cropping
system may easily be established
that will permit Of the harvesting Of
FIVE crops each tw0 years Two
crops Of potatoes are the rule and
not the exception.
"The proper Investigation of our
crops makes it possible to produce
double crops, and that too in way
which is beneficial to the soil; more
beneficial than the single system"

similar to the Taylor system was es-

walked out and were followed by the

.A[DR|CH SPEAKS OUT
IN FAVOR Of UNIONS
Governor Of Nebraska Eulogizes
Organized Labor In Char
acteristic Speech.
Says Trade Unions Make for the
World a Higher Standard Of
Civilization.

LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 1s.-Govern-
or Chester A. Aldrich of Nebraska,
In speech ringing true to economic
patriotism came out flat footed for
the trade union movement. He said
in part:
The cardinal principles upon which
the American Federation of Labor
bases it's great movement, are in my
Judgment, fundamentally correct and
for the uplift of society as a whole.
Secondly, in my judgment, the great
rank and file of the members of the
trade union are honest, conscientious,
and law-abiding citizens who bare
their breasts in the cause Of human
1ty. Let us first clearly enumerate
those principles as a. means of deter
mining as to whether their advocates
are undesirable citizens or not. They
are, then
First. The shortening of the
hours of labor, in harmony with the
increased methods of production, that
the Workmen may have leisure for
recreation, rest, study and the enjoy
ment of Gods sunshine.
Second. The abolition of child Ia
Dor in our industrial pursuits and
their transfer to the schools and the
Fairgrounds, that their bodies and
their minds may develop into noble
manhood and womanhood.
Third. Better sanitary and safety
regulations for the protection of
health and safety of the workmen in
the shops, the factories, mills and the
mines.
"Fourth. The abolition of sweat
shops as a means of protecting wom-
anhood.
Fifth. Better wages, as a fair
share of production, as means of
property, providing for the home, OF
educating the children and a general
participation in the duties Of citizen
ship.
I'm my humble opinion those prin-
ciples are based upon the teachings
of Christ and make for the world d
higher standard of civilization. They
are based upon the principles of hui
mainly and their opposition can only
be based upon greed, or more profit
Labor organizations are the out
growth of and the legitimate result:
| that come from the highly organized
state of THAT other concomitant force
in the industrial world that We cal
! capital. Therefore labor organiza
tons are necessity. They are poten
factors for good, and It is no argu
| ment against them that sometimes Il
the name of labor union an ,ill-ad
vised strike is precipitated.: Labo
leaders, so far as know. recognize
the fact that liberty is obedience I;
law and that, justice is equality to al
and special privileges to none"

BRASS WORKERS DIE
FROM TRADE DISEASE
Foundrymen Rarely Attain to the
Age Of Fifty Years At
the Trade.
Battle fer Better Shop Conditions
Is Most Surely Justi-
fled.

The battle of the trades unions for
the eight hour day and better shop
conditions is surely justified. Writ
ing in the Survey, DR.. Emery Hay
hurst has this to say: THE age sta
tistics are really startling. Out OF
1,751 brass foundrymen only seven
teen over fifty years of age were
found, and bare $50 over forty years
of age. When asked the cause, of
this, officials invariably stated: 'They
get too old, they can't turn out the
work they should every day." But
what sort of an industry is this in
which nearly six-sevenths of its fol-
lowers are old at the age of forty :?
Workmen claim they ARE knocked
out by the brass fumes" These age
statistics from Chicago workmen are
no different from those Sir Thomas
Oliver gives in his book of dangerous
trades: "Only ten brass workers of
1000 casters in Birmingham, England
we're found living beyond sixty years.
A approximation insurance for brass
founders to begin at fifty-five years
OF age had only three applicants in
period of some ten years" n III
The present rate of mortality of
the brass foundrymean is two and one
half times that Of the farmer. Res
plratorys diseases, particularly con-
sumption, account for the difference.
Comparative tables based on sickness
and invalidtsm, if obtainable, would
show even greater ifferences.' q. 81

Florence Kelly, we have pointed out
the gains from effective laws for the
protection of the child wage Garner.
According to the census of 1900,
Pennsylvania has the unenviable first
place in the number of children in
the wage earning ranks, which is
33,135. New York which follows as
second has 1888. New York has a
larger population and leads in it's
manufacturers. The excess of Penn
sylvania over New York can only be
explained satisfactorily by the diff
ference in their child labor laws ex-
listing before 1900. IL
In Pennsylvania, a child could en-
ter the factory at the age Of 10; was
not required to- be able to read or
write before entering. and at the age
of 13 both boys and girls alike could
be employed at night, 10 hours six
nights in the week, also to obtain the
necessary certificate to file with the
employer, merely the parents affi-
davit as to age, was required.
In New York, the age limit was 1
years. Since 1893 q child under 16
must be able to read fluently and
write legibly to- enter g factory; nc
minor under the age Of ! can legally
be employed after g o. clock at night
and the necessary certificate mus,
