TO GIVE FEDERAL
AID TO GOOD ROADS

Congress is taking hold of th'
proposition to extend the benefit o.
appropriations for good roads int
the rural sections of the United
States, and candidates for congress,
seeing the popularity of the idea, a,
well as its practical value, are rally,
ing TO it.
Since the rural routes have beer
extended into all parts of the coun
try the highways used for the pur
pose become, in measure, govern
ment highways and federal appro
priations cannot be out Of place moi
objected to on constitutions
grounds.
AT the last session of congress
Senator Cullom of Illinois intro
duced, by request, a bill that pro
poses a system of interstate high
ways from Washington and radia
ting to Portland, Me-, Niagara
Falls, N. Y, Seattle, Wash, Sar
Francisco, CAL, Austin, Texas, and
to Miami, Fla.
In the house on the 10th inst,
Mr.. Francis of Ohio delivered q
speech of considerable length or
''Federal Aid in the Construction oil
Highways" in which he went ex
haustively into the subject. Mr.
Francis believes that the government
should go into the construction oi
such highways on an extensive scale
without regards to state aid, while
another theory advocates the co,
operation of state and fedora
governments, so that each shall dc
part of such construction. i
would require vast appropriation
for either plan, but when we consid
er that the people bear the burdens
of government, that the people
want and need good roads and tina,
they will be worth as many mil
lions to the country as they cost,
why not have them, even if we have
to reduce the standing army ant
cut out few battleships?

Coming to Randolph

During the month of January six
immigrant cars we're unloaded at
Pocahontas. The contents of the
cars belonged to parties who are
coming here from the east and north
with the intention Of making Ran
dolph county their home. The
agent informs us that those coming
with the cars are all nice, intelligent
looking people and appear to be
very well-to-do. Arkansas is on
the map and SO is Randolph county
and the people are fast finding it
out.

The last section of the bridge

record in completing this bridge in

men have been here is something
remarkable. This is one Of the best

DIR. c. f. PRINGLE IS
ELECTED PRESIDENT

A meeting of the stockholders of
the Pocahontas Ice & Power Co.
was held IN the Offices of Witt u
Schoonover last Saturday, for the
purpose of investigating the affairs
of the institution and making
arrangements to continue the busi-
ness. All the stockholders were
present, either in person or by
proxy. j.. Maynard of st. Louis
and S. g. Dowell of Walnut Ridge
were here representing the out of
town stockholders.
Tue report of M. NJ. Carter, who
has been secretary and treasurer for
some time past, was received, which
report showed that the institution
had not been financial success.
1t was voted to roorganize the
company which resulted in the
election of Dr. G. E. Pringle, pres
ident and IL. A. Peters, secretary
and treasurer. Mr.. Maynard, the
St. Louis man who controls a ma
jority of the stock, instructed DR..
Prlngle to take charge of the plant
at once and make it a paying
proposition if possible. The ar
rangement appeared to be satlsfac-
tory to all and adjournment was
taken, subject to call.
This action of the company meets
with the general approval of the
people of Pocahontas, who believe
that DIR. Pringle will make the plant
go. He has always been successful
IN all his undertakings, and has
already shown that he means busi-
ness.
Within two hours after he had
been elected he was down at the
plant giving orders to have every
thing in running order IN time to
have lights Saturday night. 1t was
found that during the recent cold
weather several pipes had frozen and
burst, but the Doctor had the nec-
essary repairs made and about s
o'clock the lights were turned on
for the first time since January 3rd,
and they have been running regular
ly since.
1t is not known yet just what
arrangements will be made with
reference to the operation of the
plant. The company expresses a
willingness to consider proposition
to merge the plant with that of a
water works system, believing that
the two together might be operated
more successfully than one alone.
Then one OF our leading business
men suggests that a company be
formed of business men and citizens
of Pocahontas to buy out all the
foreign stockholders and that no
man be allowed to buy more than
$1,000 worth of stock, thereby
concentrating all the interests of the
plant at home in order to get just as
many citizens interested in the sue.
cess of the institution as possible.
One or the other of these propo.
sitlons will likely he agreed upon in
the near future, if it is deemed nec-
essarY.

Sure, it's fun-"heaps'' of ito ride,
says Miss Foster-but not all riding is
riding. And you can depend upon Miss
Rosamond Foster, at Brookline, Mass,
to speak from an intimate knowledge
of riding. For instance, she was
formerly an enthusiastic equestrienne-
a lover Of her fine black steed-but
now the powerful and comfortable
motorcycle has taken it's place and far
out-classed it in her estimation.
Miss Foster likes the out-of-doors,
n rolicking jaunts hither and thtther
through parks and country, the rush
of the summer air and the health 1T
brings. She used to enjoy her horses,
but today on the motorcycle she goes
further, faster and with more COM
fort and ease.
One glance at her will convince al
most anyone that riding agrees with
her. She's pretty and healthy and
happy and when she avs motorcycling
beats" all other methods Of riding she
ought to know.
This opinion of motorcycle riding,
however, is shared universally by girls
| who have joineds the ranks of enthusi-
astic believers in out-of-doors exer-
else and recreation. Everywhere, in
big cities and small hamlets the girl
| motorcyclists are coming into their
own. True, most of them began on a
tandem, these rides were only les
sons. Now they have become expert
drivers themselves.
It's fun-heaps Of ito ride a mo-
t~orcycle, says Miss Rosamond, but she's
only one girl out of several hundred
who say the same thing.

the fifteen rounds were concluded the
contest would be called a draw.
Concerning the contest Leo writes
as follows:
What kossick Says
I sure gave Mcintyre the worst
beating of his life and he did not have
a single round on me, as the first
four were even and all the rest mine,
and the people here will back that
assertion. / sure had him all but in
at the close of the bout. The referee
told me that IL a decision had been
given ! would have received 1t. My
friends had the time of their lives
cheering me and all you could hear was
Kossick' Even McIntyre's hackers
admit I had it on him all right. Can't
things are looking all right in the
boxing game
What the Papers Say.
One Saskatoon paper in speaking of
the bout says;
Both boys were in perfect condi-
ton. Kossick appeared to be much
fTesher and stronger than when he
last met Mcintyre. He fought a great
battle, and showed great form. There
was a lot of steam behind his blows.
and his footwork was most brilliant.
He was on the defensive for a time.
but after the first four rounds he met
Mickey half way on the aggressive
battling. Kosstck did more aggressive
work than in the former battle.
Mcintyre did not show up SO well
as in the last bout"
Another paper printed there SAYS:
1T vas a splendid bout, with not a
lot Between them, but Kossick should
have had the decision, had one been
given, but this was not done as the
referee announced before the contest
started that If both were on their feet
at the finish 1t would be a draw

liston, this state, and j. w. Emple of
Fergus Falls, Mimi, furnished the e
liminary to the above battle, and one
of the papers in speaking of their
work says that they went after each
other like panthers from the start and
furnished a very fast mill. The ref
cree declared it a draw"

ed to get bouts in this city, but Kos
