 Talks were also made by Dr. Christian city health officer. Dr. F. E. Young, president of the State Medical Society, and others. The probabilities are that most Spring. dale people are of the opinion that they are living in one of the can Ie towns 10 be found anywhere, but the facts brought out at the meeting Monday night would indi- cate that such is not the case. l. would seem that so far as sanitary conditions are concerned Spring dae is in poor way to resist the spread of contagious disease, should We be SO unfortunate as to have one break out in=the eommun- ity. but in this respect we are led to believe that Springdale is no worse than surrounding towns. There is no reason why Spfingdale should not be clean town in ey- cry respect. and with the people cooperating with the local health authorities 1t vii be The health authorities have ample power under the new law to provide better sani- tary conditions. but unless they have back of them public sentiment can hope to accomplish but little

The approach of the March pri- maries is already being reflected in the political conditions of the state.

While the interest will center in- the race for tAe United States Senate #between =sena- tor James P Clark. Assoe fate Jus tice ". F Kirby and Judge Golf in of independence County, there are some other eontests that will not be devoid of interest.
 The Senatorial campaign is al- ready opening. Judge Kirby has been covering the state with his platform and announcements. while Senator Clarke, seeking a third term. is looking after his political fences. and immediately after the adjournment Of the present extra ordinary session of Congress will get into the thiek of the fight until it is settled.
 Gov Hays will have no opposition, and the same thing is probably true of State Auditor |. L. Golf man, Associate Justice Jesse Hart, Commissioner John H. Page, and Attorney General Moose George B. Cook is candidate for fourth term as Superintendent of Public Instruction. and Prof J. W. kuy- kendall of Fert Smith is the only probable candidate who has been mentioned in opposition.
 Earle w Hodges, now serving his second term as Secretary of ssase, one of the states most popular of ficials among the newspaper fratern- ity, is a candidate for third term, and is already shalling the woods at county fairs and barbecues. r E. Clin on mayor of Dardanel e. T. Harrison Downing of Harrison, ".

Tn one of the prettiest football games ever played in Springdale, and between two evenly matche q teams, Springdale High School d. feated Van Buren High. at the O. cal grounds Saturday afternoon, by a score of 10 to 0
 The game was devoid of any n- sational playing. and the first haif Va see-s aw back and forth ap and down the fled, neither side scoring, but when the whistle blep the Van Buren team was within ten yards of springdale goal, and had a good chance Of scoring wi a few more minutes of play but the minutes weren't there.
 At the beginning of the third quarter the local team kicked off. and the Van BureH man vas down ed almost in his tracks within twen- ty yards of the leeai goal. The two teams played fast football, until the middle of the third quarter when Quarter Graham, of the To- cal team, decided to try for a 
 field goal The team was within twenty-five yards Of the goal, bu repeated efforts 10 cross the goal had been futile Tackle Sande $ was called back Of the line, and kicked field goal. the ball going squarely between the uprights.
 The fourth and last guar CT. showed the superior foot-Nork, and headiness of the spfingdale cam .n action.

Arkansas and Missouri points. Ii was es,i- mated that there wele 35o to 486 delegates in attendance
 The guests were welcomed by Gov. Majors, who gave grand ad- dr ess, reviewing the achievements in road building within the last few months, and emphasizing the  nee sSity of abe, energetic, and persistent efforts for the construct ion of good roads Mr Wolfe re sponded for Kansas, Col Sadds for Oklahoma and Mr Batzjer of Rogers for Arkansas. which latter response deserving especial mention as he certainly cid full credit 10 himself and Northwest Arkansas. He paid noble tribute 10 our vine clad nils and tha Ben Davis apple He was frequently applauded. and made favorable impression CT all who heard him as to our resources and general conditions
 Dr. Trough and E. (. Pritchard for Fayetteville anI Wa shineton County and MT Harrington of si- loam for sf.oam and Benton County al made a good impression
 
 Almost every town in North Ark aasas wa. repre- ented

 The convention was success il every way. being all inspiration to every oae along the line of good roads and general improvement.
 The Arkansas delegates took a very active part in the discussion and made a favorable impression as to our ua-u ural resources While We could not make as good showing as our Missouri neighbors as to road building. yet We are there with the goods in natural resources.
 What We need more than any other one thing is improved high ways. While We can not at this time with the means at hand build much macadam, yet ii is the opinion of the writer that if a wise use is made of the present road funds and labor availab'e under the law, that We can build good dirt roads and keep them dragged by mak- ing every dollar buy dollars worth Of labor or material, thus improve our highways much faster than We are now doing
