Will Win Sure.

The Cross State Road
known as the Northern Route
will be surprise to the In
spector that goes over it. In
the past month, the road bed
has been put in first-c'ass
condition and there are sam
pie spots of road that cannot
be cXcellcd in the state.
Acting under the order
made by the State Board Of
Agriculture, that the road
showing the most improve
ment in road bed would have
the first dedication, the peo-
pie on the Northern Route
went to work. They did not
use Il brass band but used the
tools that make good roads
and now from New Florence
to Kansas City an auto can
easily make % miles an hour
average, without the usual
jOlts that come from bad
places. Each county has
done its part of the work and
will be ready for the Inspec-
tor when he desires to make
the trip in the latter part of
September.
The State Board of Agri-
culture wants a good dirt road
and they certainly have it on
the Northern Route.
Also several new road dis
tricts have been formed and
others are in process of for
nation. Montgomery City,
Mexico, Moberly, Excelsior
Springs and Richmond are
formed and CentraIia, Hardin
Liberty and others are about
ready to either vote or take
up the matter with the coun-
ty court.
Now two more weeks re-
main in which the few finish
ing touches can be made.
Don't forget to have the drag
go over the road. Then drag
it again.
Inc road IS about perfcc-
ton, let's make it perfection.
1t may just be a small stretch
of road that will keep the
whole from winning. Don't
let it be in your county.

Will Send For Cows

At Il meeting OF the Jonathan Valley
Cooperative Assn held on Tuesday ev-
ening, the dairy question was quite prom
inently discussed. An arrangement has
been consumated whereby the farmers
can obtain cows on very satisfactory terms
and at this meeting 76 COWS were con-
tracted for. Another meeting will be
held on Tuesday, Sept. 26th when it Ii
thought the number will be increased to
at least 100.
1t is the intention to send an expert
enced man into the dairy section OF the
Middle West to select these COWS, which
it is considered will prove the most salts
factory manner, as his judgement car
he relied upon. The farmers OF the Val
ley are 10 be congratulated on this step
and if successfully carried out will prove
of untold value to that section.

preparing.
The evening program consisted OF songs,
dances and drills by the little folks, in
terspcrscd with instrumental and vocal
selections by the older talent, all OF which
was much enjoyed by all present. Re

for dancing, everyone was ready to vote
the affair grand success throughout.

South and Southeast Arkansas.
An Eight Days Trip through the Richest
and Best Sections of the State.

1t was Monday afternoon of this
week when Editor Newman and his
daughters, Mary and Agnes, and
little Ohm r., arrived home from
their tour with the Arkansas Press
Association in eastern and south
eastern Arkansas; tired and travel
stained, but delighted with the
pleasures of the journey, as well as
with a new conception of section
of the state, which in general way
has heretofore been considered
"swampy," the multitude of its
other virtues being, to the stranger,
obscured by the miasma of that
term.
The TINES will be pleased to take
up in detail in later issues the fea-
lures of the towns and country
visited, giving more extended ac-
counts than is possible with our
limited space this week. For the

with the brietest outline.
The bunch was a jolly one, keep
ing up a continual run of humor,
and not only the people Of the sec
~tions visited put their best foot
forward, but the editors we're on
dress parade as well, and the per-
sonel of no association of squirrel
heads could have made better i'm
preston than did the Arkansas pen
Gil pushers.
The royal reception of the editors
really began at Stuttgart. This
city was reached on the first pas
senger train ever pulled over the
Stuttgart & Rice Belt Railroad
The Cotton Belt had declined to
handle the quill drivers when the
new road came to their rescue, for
the management wanted to see
Stuttgart shown to the editors of
the home state, just as it had been
to the editors of foreig On states, who
have devoted much space to the
boosting Of that particular section
of Arkansas.
F. ]. Donohue, of the Rice Belt
Railroad, earned for himself the
never dying regard of the editors by
this compliment paid to them.
They will make the short line from
Mesa to Stuttgart known in every
section. This line makes Stuttgart
a great competitive point, and
Stuttgart shippers will patronize it
literally as its building will force
the road which had held monop-
oily to reduce the tariff or the Rock
Island & Rice Belt will get the entire
business.
The people Of Stuttgart motored
the guests over the rice fields, show
ed them the good things of that
