There is move on foot for the
establishment of one of the largest

development of the East End through
comprehensive paving system for
all the streets from the river to Third
street, and from Main East to the
Rock Island Station. The larger pro-
perty holders are all in favor of the
district, as they believe it will mean

part of the City. 1t is the wholesale
district that will be affected princi-
pally, about AZ blocks.

offenders against the automobile
speed law had been accustomed, upon
conviction to paying fine of 81 and
costs. l made it SO and costs, and
the newspapers roasted me for not
making it more. The second year
made it $40 and costs. Beginning the
first of last January, made it $25 and
costs. From the first of January,
1912, propose to make the fine 81 a
mile and costs. If man is speeding
thirty-five miles an hour he will get
thirty-five dollars and cost, and ac-
coTding to that ratio.
"That is the only way to handle the
speed and the automobile warning

speeding is concerned, Imprisonment

ARKANSAS SQUAD IS
GIVEN HARD PRACTICE
Tired and Limping Bunch of Football
Players Leave Field-Prepare for
Texas University Game.

Fayetteville, Oct. 25.-It was a very
tired and limping bunch of football
players of the university team that
crawled off the field yesterday after
noon at the close of an unusually
hard practice. Cypert is back this
week, but is working rather light.
while Harrison is running the team.
The new quarter is rapidly getting
acquainted with his men and practice
improves daily. Hinton received a
sprain this afternoon, but it probably
will be only temporary.
The prospects for whipping Texas
university next Saturday and getting
, place in the Southwestern cham
pionship race are rather remote, UNI
Xess Arkansas has vastly overrated
the strength of Texas. Special atten-
tion is being given to the kickers. one
OF the weakest places on the offensive
playing. May and Guines are retain
ing the leadership in booting the ball
II is difficult to describe the attitude
maintained by Arkansas followers in
regard to the Texas game. Ordinari-
ly they will say that they expect Ar
kansas to win, but in very weak
voice. Texas is greatly feared, not
for what she is, but because OF some
disappointing conditions at Arkansas.
Close followers of the gridiron game
maintain, however, that Arkansas will
create surprise in the way sfn will
perform at Austin.

MAKING WAR ON
THE JOY RIDERS
Judge Collins of Indianapolis Is After
the Speed Fiend and the Noise.
Maker.

indianapolis, Ind, Oct 25.-Judge
james A. Collins of Indianapolis has
declared war on the joy-rider. He is
also the enemy of the maker of unnec-
essary noise. In this, the third year
of his term as city Judge of Indianap-
oils, he is making a record that leads
the rest of the United States, in point
of justice melted out to offenders.
II believe" said Judge Collins, in
discussing existing onditions. chat
the only remedy for the misuse of au-
tomcbile horns is to make the penalty
for their misuse so severe that there
will be few second offenses.
"That the ultimate solution of the
warning signal problem is restrictive,
not prohibitive, legislation is apparent
to anyone who has given the subject
intelligent thought. 1t is the logical
result CT the fact that the greater
trouble for motorists is made by. the
actions of persons under Is years of
age. There should be a recognized
warning signal, with harsh abrupt
note, that will be recognized as warn
ing of danger. But it must not be
used unnecessarily loud Or often, and
only for warning of danger. The
law must regulate it's use. This is the
solution of the problem.
II am now mentally framing law.
the passage of which : shall urge at
the next meeting of the Indiana leg
islature, which will REQUIRE every
driver of a motor car to take an ex-
animal on to demonstrate whether or
not he has the ability to drive cart.
Such person is to be given a license
if he passes the examination, and no
person shall be granted license who
is under Is years of age. The driving
of motor car in Indiana except by
persons holding license will, in con-
sequence, become a statutory offense,
Arrangements will be made whereby
the law will not work hardship up
on tourists.
Furthermore, when any holder OF
license violates the statute, the
clerk of the court of record where
conviction is obtained will be requir-
ed to forward notification of such
conviction to the secretary of state.

MARCH FRUIT INSPECTION
Total of 1880 Acres Examined by Polk
County Official.

County Fruit Inspector B. Y. Allen
has filed his report for the month of
March with the County Court, regard
ing his work in looking over the Or
chards for the various diseases that
infest fruit trees. During the time
covered by the report he visited SO
orchards, commercial and family, and
in nearly every one of them he found
traces of some form of pest or disease.
The total acreage which he inspected
amounted to 1890, distributed approx
imately as follows: Prunes, $50
acres; apples, 341 acres; pears, 3S
acres; cherries, Is acres. This, of
course, does not comprise all of the
fruit lands in the county, but only
those which he has inspected to date.
Mr.. Allen says that he found prac-
tically all of the orchard owners glad
to receive instructions and willing to
cooperate in a general effort to Grad
icate the foes to healthy trees and
mark etable fruit.

Arthur Moore, of Independence,
was a business visitor in Dallas, We'd
nesday. For many years, Mr.. Moore
was one of the leading merchants of
his home town. but failing health
made it necessary for him to take up
outdoor pursuits. He is now engaged
in poultry breeding on a large scale,
and is building up a good business,
already being kept busy in filling the
orders that are sent to him, from all
parts of the state. His breeds are
R. c. Rhode Island Reds, Anconas,
White Plymouth Rocks and White
Orpingtons. Probably on breeder in
Oregon has better or more expensive
stock. He has spared no money in
securing the best strains and his
breeding pens are so arranged as to
absolutely insure against mixture of
blood On the day of his visit to Dali
las, he received four birds for which
he paid Nthe neat sum of $35. Mr..
Moore invites the poultry breeders
of Polk County to visit his plant at
any time they are in Independence
and feels sure that he has much there
that will be of interest to them.

that matter and arrange for supply.
In order to provide funds necessary
in that and other forms of advertising,
it was agreed that the best plan would
be to ask voluntary monthly contri-
