There have been but few women injured
on the aviation field. Until yesterday g
accident there was but one killed. two.

injuries.
Miss Denise Moore was the first woman
to pay for flying with her life. Miss Moore
was an American girl residing in Algiers.
In the summer OF 1911 she became pupil
Of aviation at Henry Farman's school
at Mourmelon. France. Within three
weeks she mastered the science Of flying
enough to apply for trials for her pilot 8
license. The attempt for the license was
made on July 81 of that year.
The French law REQUIRES three flights
before the candidate can get license.
and Miss Moore had made two success
fully. On her third attempt she ma
nPuvred her plane successfully and
brought it back above the starting point
when something went wrong and the plane
dropped to the ground. a distance of 12O
feet Miss Moore was instantly killed.
The Baroness de Ia Roche. the first
woman in the world to learn flying. was
badly hurt at Reims July 8. 1910. She had
been flying for eight months successfully
and had had thrilling experiences in the
air. all OF which she negotiated success
fully. Al the time she was hurt she was
seventy-five feet in the air when two other
aeroplnnes approached her on either side.
They were travelling faster than she
and were about to overtake her. The
Baroness lost her nerve. was seen to let
go the wheel and do something to the
engine. which stopped suddenly. The
aeroplane dropped to the ground and the
Baroness was shockingly injured. She
recovered. however She used to be a
show girl.

ASSOCIATION ORGANIZED.
Meeting Held at City Hall Monday Night We'll Attended. James l..
 Scott Elected President,

At a well attended meeting held in the city hall in this city Monday night, Good Roads Association was organized temporarily, and another meeting date set for next Tuesday night, at which time it is expected to perfect a permanent organization. The following gentlemen were present at Monday nights meeting: Mayor James L. Scott, Senator Frank W. DeRossitt, s. r. Mcdaniel, T. A. Buford, Jno W Alderson, John k. Grobmyer, A. l. Naccaro, Edgar P Taylor, J. D. Baugh. Dr. l. A. Bo- gart, Dr. J. 0. Rush.
 Mayor Scott was selected as chair. man and Dr, Rush as secretary.
 A committee consisting of Attor. hey S. II Mann, MT, F. W. DeRossitt and Dr l. Q. Rush was formed to draft a suitable Constitution and Bylaws for the new organization
 Besides the gentlemen named above as members of the association, several more have announced their intention of joining, and it is expected that at the meeting next Tuesday night, a much larger attendance will be had, and something more definite looking to the aims and objects of the asso- iation, will be given out.
 The object of the association, ac- cording to the gentlemen who have promoted it, is to look after the best interest of and betterment of the public roads of the county. One of the main ideas right now is to have some steps taken looking to the establishment and keeping up of a permanent roadway through the St. Francis bottoms east of the city, and thereby forming permanent high way between this city, and Memphis. The only feasible route for this high way now in sight, is the re-eStabliSh- ment of the old Military road, and to secure the opening up and keeping in repair of this road it will be neces- Sary to secure the aid and co opera tiOn of our friends in Cross county. IL is hoped by members of the assO- citation and others interested in the subject that Judge Block, of Cross county, can be made to see the impor- tance of this highway and that he will take the necessary steps, that of appointing a road overseer, and de- claring that section of the old high way which lies in Cross county, a public road. A petition asking for this action has been signed by all of the residents and property owners along said road.
 The St. Francis county roads are good to the point where they run out of this county, and intersect the Military road in Cross county. This road, with a little we'll directed labor, could be made a fine highway, and thus open up wide and fertile stretch of territory. This is an im- portant link in the proposed cross state highway, and it's opening up and keeping in shape, will do much toward bringing the travel along this road through Forrest City.
 Prospects look bright for the ful- fillment of the hopes of those inter. ested in the project, and it is hoped that the Good Roads Association as formed Monday night, will be an i'm portant factor in bringing about the fulfillment of these hopes and plans

 Many of our citizens feel that the order was unnecessary, and l have, therefore, revoked the same.
 My action in this matter was prompted by what I felt was for the pest interest of the community, but as many of my friends differ with me as to the necessity for such action, l yield to their judgment.

It is to be regretted that such a small number of citizens turned out to listen to the lecture on 'Educa- tion," delivered by Prof. Weatherly at the court house Tuesday night. Prof Weatherly is the new principal of Crowley Ridge Institute, and he took this method of introducing him. self and meeting the patrons of the school. He is pleasant, forceful and interesting talker, and handled his subject in most intellectual and pleasing manner. Those who were fortunate enough to hear his remarks were highly edified and enjoyed the occasion very much but it seems that education barely comes in for second ary consideration when rivaled by such questions as Statewide" Wet or Dry," and incomprehensible and numerous proposed amendments and acts of the legislature. The interests of our public schools should be sub servient to no other questions, and until this is realized and the patrons wake up to it's importance, we can not hope to have any but the most ordinary institutions of learning.

Ration Of Maintenance

The first line illustrates the proper
feeding of heavy-producing COW,
which is usually the one underfed.
The line A to c represents the total
capacity of the animal for food, or a
full ration The first half, from A to
B, represents the amount of food re-
uuired to maintain the animals body,
or the ration of maintenance. The
second half, that portion from B to G,
represents the portion Of food used
for the production of milk In 5his
case there is no fat being produced on
the animals body. The COW is sup
posed to be of such dairy quality that
all the feed she can consume in eX-
cess of maintenance is used in milk
production.
The next line represents what
would happen if the feed of the ami
NAL was reduced one-fourth. The ra-
ton of maintenance remains practic-
ally tho same as in the first case. The
cut of one-fourth will he seen to come

Flies Spread Paralysis.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 25,-Or-
binary stable flies have been conclu-
sively identified as carriers of the in
fantile paralysis, according to report
made to the Public Health Service to-
day by DR.. John F. Anderson, direc-
tor of the hygienic laboratory, and
Past Assistant Surgeon Wade H.
Frost.
The report gives the result of ex-
periments with three monkeys, which,
after being exposed to the bites of
flies which at the same time were al
lowed daily to bite monkeys inocu-
lated with virus of the disease, de-
veloped typical symptoms of infantile
paralysis, seven, eight and nine days,
respectively, from the date of their
first exposure.
In each case the diagnosis was con-
firmed by an autopsy. Further ex-
periments will be necessary to de-
termine whether this is the only or
usual method of transmission of the
malady.
Results of studies by Mark w.
Richardson, secretary of the Massa-
chussetts Board Of Health, first led to
the suspicion that stable flies were
carriers of this disease, and recent
experiments by DR.. Milton J. Rose
nau of the Harvard Medical school
tended to confirm the theory.

Feed the Cow Literally
She Is Least Wasteful When Given All She Will Use
Consider Her AS Milk Producing Machine
By c. Eekes Professor Dairy asb.ndry. College As

To maintain the condition of early
summer is, in general, the great prob.
lem in winter feeding of dairy cows.
1t is entirely possible to MAINTAIN
practically these summer conditions
throughout the entire winter on any
| farm when the subject is properly un-
derstood and the necessary arrange
ments made.
An abundance of palatable food is
one condition typical of summer feed
ing. On this point one of the most
common mistakes is made in feeding
cows. We should look upon the cow,
in way, as a mIk-producing ma
chine. We supply her with a certain
amount of raw material in the form
Of feed, and this raw material is man
ufactured into milk The same rule
holds as in the running of any other
manufacturing plant-it. is run most
economically near it's full capacity.
Everyone who feeds COWS shoulG
know, first of all, that the animal
must use a certain portion of her food
to maintain the body. This is the
first requirement of the animal, and it
is the first use to which it puts its
food. This is called the ration 1T
maintenance, and it is practically
fixed charge That Is, it is practically
the same whether the animal is oe.
ing utilized for maximum production
or is merely kept without producing
any milk at all
1t should be clear that after going
to the expense of giving the animal
the necessary amount to keep her
alive it is the poorest economy to re-
fuse to furnish the other 40 to 60 per
cent, which she would utilize exclu-
sively for milk production. On the
average farm this is one of the COM
mon mistakes made.
The Importance of liberal feeding
for economical production can be eas'
lily understood from the following il
lustratiun:
