Washington, Nov 22.-The 100000
appropriated by the last session
of Congress for the improvement
of roads will be distributed equit-
ably among the states that CO.
operate with the Federal government

the basis of $4,000 to each state that
agreed to spend on its part $4,000 of
its own funds. 1t is anticipated that
a number of states would not be able

FEWER DAILY NEWSPAPERS.
Statistics for Past Year Show They
 Are Diminishing in Number.

Philadelphia, March 16-Newspa-pe census figures for 1911, compiled by the American Newspaper Annual and Directory, published here today, indi- cate that multiplication of daily pa pers in the United States has come to halt. A year ago the number was 2,f72; the 1912 annual lists 1S less, showing that the trend is now in the downward direction. Accord ing to this authority, greater nor tality than birth rate is explained by suspension or consolidation of news papers in crowded and unproductive fields. New England has lost four dallies. New York four, middle west states nine and the western states have thirteen less than year ago Gains have been heaviest in the southern states, while the middle At lantic section has an increase ot three
 Weekly and semi-weekly newspa- pers also seem to have reached their limit in numbers. The 1912 annual names and describes 16,229 weeklies, 10 less than in 1911, and 605 semi weeklies as compared with 617 in 1911.
 The 1912 Annual marks it's forty fourth year, contains more than 1,200 pages describing 24,345 newspapers and periodicals, presents ten distinct items about each, including it's cir culation rating, and gives 1910 cen sus population for the 11,000 towns in which newspapers are published
 Aeronautics. moving pictures and Esperanto are responsible for new lists of publications devoted to these subjects. There are over 200 of these lists in the book just from the press. Religious publications number S65, agricultural journals total 463, and there are no less than 129 separate divisions of class and trade periodl- calls. Exponents of more than forty secret society orders are catalogued Foreign language papers printing in 34 different forms of speech are de- scribed in a classification of their own.
 These statistics are gathered from returns by uhe press of the country and sifted, verified and arranged by the publishers of this directory who are engaged in such revision through out the year. The importance of the newspaper publishing industry, like wise the development and rapid in- crease of advertising, is impressive B illustrated in the magnitude of this work

THE BUSINESS VOTE.

Something new in political affairs will be demonstrated when the vote is counted in the nominating pri. mary of March 27.
 That something will be that the vote of the townships close in to Hot Springs win join with the business vote of Hot Springs, particularly in the matter of the race for prosecut. ing attorney.
 There is no rhyme or reason in the vote of county and u city being against each other Prejudices have been created between city and town. all over Arkansas, by politicians.
 It is the politician that is respon- sible for the situation in other parts of the state, and Who would be re- sponslble for such q condition here, but for the fact that the people have outgrown such prejudices.
 The city is the market place of the ldluci- lc ldIuitI must nave LIE city. and the city must have the farm CT. Both are necessary to the well fare of the other.
 If the city man prospers, the farm CT reaps part of the prosperity. If the farmer prospers. the city man Is bound to make profit.
 So there is no reason why city and county should not put their interests together. 1t is pleasing to note that the prosperity call which the business interests of the city issued is so re- sponsiyely answered hy the people of Garland county.
 The result will he a fulfilment ot the condition they all desire When things are strengthened out here in this great national resort, 1t will be seen that there is enough prosperity to go round, and that the resort will grow, and the people for many miles around will receive the benefits of that growth.

How She Acquired
 Feminine Charm"

A nicely dressed woman sat beside me in the train. Everyone stared at her. couldn't help doing the same. It was not her beauty of feature that held our eyes, nor her costume. But there was something about her face and expression-I risked it and asked: "Would you mind telling me how you keep your complexion so dazzlingly pure? Don't think me impertinent, but you seem over 30, yet haven't a line in your face, and your cheeks are quite peach-like. How do you do it!"
 Laughing, she said: That's easy; I remove my skin. Sounds shocking. doesn't 1t? But listen. Instead of cosmetics I use only pure mercolized wax, procurable at any druggists. apply this nightly, like cold cream, washing 1t off mornings. This gently absorbs the soiled, weather-beaten film skin, without pain or discomfort, thus revealing the fresh, clear under skin. Every woman has a beautiful complexion underneath, you know. Then, to ward off wrinkles use a face bath made by dissolving powdered saxolite Gone ounce) in one-half pint witch hazel harmless astringent which tones the skin wonderfully. Very simple, isn't it?" I thought so. I'm now trying her plan and like 1t mmensely.-Millicent Brown iD The Story Telley h .

TRAP ROCK COMING
 FOR HAssAM PAVEMENT.
Expected Todsy-Work Can Begin al
 Once When That Arrives.

Supt. H. Fleck, who is here in charge of the hassam pavement work on Franklin street for the Connecticut Hassam Pavement company, is expect ing the arrival of the Connecticut trap rock for the job, and as soon as this is received he can proceed to lay the hassam on the east side of the street and in the trolley track. The trap rock, which Is of the two-inch size, has been shipped. but it had not ar rived here on Monday when Superin- tendent Fleck inquired at the freight oboe.
 The east side of the street and the part that the trolley company does is what is to be laid at first and when this has been completed the pavemen' west of the track will be laid,
 One change iu the city's originally announced plan has been made, It had been stated that this would begin at q point 112 feet northerly of the end of the vitrified brick pavement, but this has been changed so that now the hassam will be laid all the way down to the vitrified brick at the corner of Bath street.

SUSPECTED OF BUReLARIziNe
 THREE PLACES IN occUM.
Two Strangers Arrested = School, Church and Hose Company House Were Entered.

John Ziolo, 29, and Stanley Zamba, 23, were arrested in Occum on Monday afternoon by Constable Filliger, brought to this city and locked up at police headquarters on suspicion of burglar izing three places in Occum some time Saturday night. The breaks were dis covered on Sunday morning.
 The two men were charged with va grancy and drunkenness. They had been around the village during the day, spending small sums of money, and were unable to give 8 good ac- count of themselves. When arrested one of them had 27 cents and the oth- CT 60 cents in their pockets.
 During Saturday night burglars got into the Totokett Hose company house, where money and cigars were stolen andsa small amount of money from a machine. At St. Joseph's church en- trance was gained through window, and from $3 to s4 taken from the poor box. At the Occum school the thieves secured a small amount of money from a teachers desk,

the street where the hassam is to go. On the lower end of Franklin street for the 112 feet north of the vitrified brick pavement at the corner of Bath street no cement curb will be put in on the west side of the street now, as this curb line is subject to change later on.
 The hassam paving job will require about 5000 bags of cement, each of about 100 pounds, a total of 300 tons of cement.
 Superintendent Fleck now has 2 number of bags of sand distributed along the curb to be in reach when the work begins, as this is handy way to have it near when wanted. He has also run a pipe line above ground along the curb on the east side of the street for Q water supply for the has sam mixer. He can break joint .tt any convenient point in the line and attach his hose so that he will always have a supply of water handy.
