Country Roads.

With the approach of spring is time to begin to plan and think for a year of work for better roads about the country district.
 While great progress has been made in the direction of street improvement and in main arteries of highway travel from town, the general improvement of country roads proceeds at very slow rate.
 One great reason therefor is the temporary character of so much of the work. The road officials are too anxious to make record that seems economical for the time being. It is cheaper for this year to scrape lot of mud out of the gutters than to cart on gravel and dig out the gutters so as to drain off the water.
 Slipshod repairs are very costly in the long run. They place permanent tax on all who have produce to get to market. They give the country dis trict black eye. They discourage the homeseekers that may be thinking of locating.
 The proper care of water along the highways is one of the secrets of per manent work A road with ample gut ters built with enough of the slope so that the water will run off, will last many years while an imperfectly drained road goes to pieces in hard shower or under the storms and frost of winter.

than almost any kind of advertising that may be done, and I commend, not only the spirit of enterprise manifest ed in the work that you have underta- ken, but the work as it has been ac- complished. Wherever this edition may be circulated it is bound to make an impression that is favorable to your county and the immediate vicinity of your town, and trust that the enter prising citizens of that section will not overlook the opportunity they have for good advertising in circulating copies of this edition throughout those sec tions of the north and east where the people are interested in finding new and suitable locations.
 1 would be glad if it were so that we could have special editions from each county coming up to the standard es- tablshed by you in this edition to place in our Department for free dis tribution to the visitors that we have from other States who go through the agricultural department and examine our display and seek information in re- gard to the State It would be a splendid source of information.
 Trusting that your efforts will be appreciated and that the out come may be sufficiently remunerative to justify you for the effort you have made, l am with best wishes,
 Yours very truly,

sources of the territory covered by your valuable paper. have noticed the high grade or stock; the prosperity enjoyed by the farmers, and their hearty cooperation in the improvement of public roads. Your section may well boast of a splendid school system and it has, in addition to fine agricultural advantages, many, many undeyeloped resources. attractive to both capitalists and homeseekers. In this particular it will rank with any in the United States.
 can heartily assure you that this publication is one of the best 1 have ever seen and I am sure it will have tendency to attract and bring to our State desirable immigration.
 Trusting that the next year may bring to your paper greater success than you have heretofore enjoyed, 1 beg to remain,

great interest in looking over every page of this publication,
 l can frankly say to you that it is one of the most complete editions of this character that I have ever had the pleasure of reading, and the work has been carried out in such a way as to make it invaluable for ad- vertising purposes.
 Editions of the different newspapers throughout the State, made in this manner, will fu ish one of the best mediums of adv Using for the State and will be of great benefit in reflect ing before communities in other States the actual conditions that exists in our several communities that are regarded of so much importance by prospective settlers.
 No matter hoH much we advertise the productivene and fertility of our soil, and the abu mt crops that may be grown, and latter how convinc- ing we may mako those claims, yet there is lingering anxiety upon the part of the inye tigating minds to know something of the local conditions with regard to socisl affairs and other matters that may contribute to the community to make it desirable place in which to i've.
 Special editions of local papers, when the facts are not exaggerated and sufficient number of illustrations are given to reflect the actual condi- tions, are of perhaps greater value

cause of the high character of work which reflects very creditably upon our equipment and ability to turn out work of the highest order; but indeed there is abundant evidence of editorial skill and mecanica designing which speaks volumes for both yourself and your brother, M. B. Russell.
 We do not hesitate to say thst no finer edition of any newspaper was ever issued in Arkansas or the entire south. We have the opportunity to witness and criticise many efforts of this char acter but none so far can compare with the splendid work you have just issued, and it should do much to advertise and develop the marvellous resources of your growing little city and all North Arkansas.
 Your business men and the citizens generally seem to have fore8een the excellent results which were assured when you contemplated this venture, and their splendid patronage and assis- tance shows that yourself and the Tribune occupy an enviable position in the minds and hearts of your constitu- ency. The whole state will applaud your noble effort in presenting to the outside public this magnificent descript- i've edition, and in behalf of our com pany, desire to thank you for the good which will surely follow.
 Very truly yours,
 A. D. MURLIN, Manager Western Newspaper Union.

If all Arkansas editors were possesse d with the same degree of enterprise that the Tribune editor reflects through this splendid edition, 1 am certain that Arkansas would, within short time, double her population and native wealth.

TO GO ON PLATFORM
MAYOR A, L. KINNEY GETS FLAT TERING OFFERS FROM CHAU-
 TAUQUA MANAGERS

Green Forest will in all probability be represented on one of the Chautau- qua ci. cults of the east during the season of 1914.
 s Mayor A. L. Kinney has already re- eived a number of propositions for the eason. all of them worthy of his con- alteration.
 In an interview with Mir. Kinney
 ], Tribune learns that he is seriously
 ,idering the matter.
 The Chautauqua people are searching
 country over for men with new
 as and the reputation thatou Mayor
 gained during his short administra-
 has placed binr high up in the estl- mation of Cnautauqua managers, who plan programs for the entertainment of the best class of people throughout the country.
 The Tribune feels that our friend Kinney will not have missed his calling should he answer an invitation to go on the platform.
 He is an able and happy entertainer, possessing an eloquent and beautiful flow of language and easily and intelli- gently makes himself understood on subjects that are paramount to the we'll being of humanity.
 MT. Kinney is not only a platform speaker out of the ordinary, but is well learned in law, entitled to first rank among the legal fraternity of the state. His services in legal matters often commands his attention in other states. We hope that Mayor Kinney will be able to arrange his business affairs so that he can accept one of the many offers for his services on the Chautau- qua, for he will not only reflect credit upon himself and to our town, but to the state of Arkansas as we'll.

AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE
LEARNING ROADS VALUE.
The Nation Awakening to Benefits Of
Improved Highways.

One Of the strangest things in the
history Of the development Of this
country is that the people as a nation
waited until the last few years to real
ize what good roads mean to civiliza-
ton. They waited until after the great
era Of railroad building was long since
oyer and the United States had become
a world leader industrially. 1t seems
that the economic value Of first class
highways ought to have been just as
apparent seventy-fve years ago as it is
now. but nearly everything else in the
way of providing general means Of
transportation was done before we be-
gan to consider the road problem in its
true Significance. Despite the obvious
fact that the American people grapple
with only u few vital problems at a
time. the long delay of the good roads
movement can hardly be explained.
But the people are not destined to
travel in mud and ruts forever. The
belated good roads movement has
started in earnest. and there is every
reason to believe that it will be carried
on successfully until no European ma
ton can boast of as good thorough
fares as ours. It is a pioneer move
ment, and it is a we'll known fact that
as pioneers Americans have no supe
riors.
The campaign of agitation, which be-
gan to attract general attention two or
three years ago. has made marvellous
Roadway. Public opinion has been af-
fected in practically every county in
the United States. More speeches have
been made and more printers ink con-
sumed in the discussion of the road
problem in the last two years than in
any previous twenty-five years. Scores
Of organizations, local and national,
have been started for the purpose Of
stimulating public sentiment and urg-
ing enabling legislation. Hundreds Of |
commercial associations in towns and
cities have taken up the problem. and
thousands of public spirited men have
contributed literally of their money
for the furtherance of the cause. Dis
tinguished civil engineers are devoting
their time and labor to the solution of
construction problems. and many emf
nent statesmen are studying the situa-
ton with a view to helping frame and
put through the necessary legislation.
Borough, township and county fiscal
authorities are replacing incompetent
supervisors with skilled road engi-
neers. And. what means more than
can be easily imagined, a very large
number Of rural taxpayers are begin
ming to realize that good roads of all
public conveniences are a vital neces-
sity.-Collier's Weekly. /
