 A. J. Braswel has been quite i'll during the past week, suffering from chronic ailments.

 c. c. O'Neal has shown us the plans of his new business house on the north side, which indicates that he will have one of the nobbiest buildings in town.

 Dr. Erton Poynor is moving his fami- ly here from Osage this week and will forthwith become a practicing phy sician in Green Forest.

Dr. Poynor is young man of excellent character and stands well with the medical fra ternity. While we never did consider Green Forest an exceptional location for doctors, yet we believe he will find it profitable to live in our town.

 L. S. Shibley and J. H. Deberger, two local authorities on fruit growing, inform The Tribune that probably 50 per cent of the Elberta buds were killed by Wednesday nights freeze. Blooms that were opened or buds that were near the point of opening have been killed, but the rest seems not to have been damaged. If not killed later, the buds yet alive will give an abund- ant yield of peaches. Mr. Shibley says half the buds yet alive can be killed and yet the trees will have all the fruit they can mature.

GOOD ROADS AND GOOD SCHOOLS

An excellent point in favor OF
highway improvement was made by
Charles H.. Davis, president OF the
National Highway association, in an
address before the Society for the
Promotion of Engineering Education
at its annual convention in Minneap-
| oils. Mr.. Davis maintained that
good schools are largely dependent
upon good roads, and made the fur
Their point that good roads would
more than pay for their cost by
vastly increasing the value OF the
agricultural lands Of the country.
Thus, he said:
"The value of the farm lands and
buildings in the United States is
$35, 900 900, 900. Two million miles
of improved highways will increase
the value of the lands $10,OOO,O OO,-
900, or about one-third Of their
present value"
The fact that good roads pay for
themselves In increased values or
farm land and decreased transpor-
tation expense has long been con-
coded. But that good roads actual
ly foster education is point seldom
made.
With bad roads the distance from
the farm homes to the schoolhouses
ia really increased several times, SO
far as accessibility is concerned.
Consequently, with bad roads there
must be many school houses to &C
commodate all of the children need
ing education, or the children must
go without.
Educators generally concede that
school consolidation in the country
districts is essential to good edu-
cation. We are afflicted with toe
many weak schools. The small
communities are not wealthy enough
to support good schools and pay
the salaries required to obtain the
best teachers.
Good roads would remedy this
quickly and effectually. Larger
school districts could be formed,
better schools maintained and bet
ter teachers procured.

ROOSEVELT ON RAILWAY RATES

In an article in the Outlook Col
onel Roosevelt, discussing the ap-
plication Of the railroads to the in
terstate commerce commission to be
alloked to raise rates, sets forth
quite clearly the general duties OF
the commission:
"It is Just as much the duty OF
the commission to permit rates TO
be raised when the raise is justifia-
BILE as to require them to be low
cred If the lowering is justified"
That is commonplace enough, but
It is true, and, in the minds OF a
good many people, it is well to
have this truth driven home. The
province Of the commission is to
see Justice done not only to the
shippers and the general public but
to the railroads.
The roads must prosper in order
that shippers may obtain good serv-
ice, that employees may obtain good
wages and that enlightened methods
may prevail in the dealing of rail-
road corporations with their en-
ployees and the public.

Kansas CIV Star: B

Kansas City Star: Business in
the United States has settled down
to a matter of supplying the cur
rent needs of the population. 1t
has rarely been more completely on
a purely supply-and-demarfi basis.
Speculation of every sort is down
practically to an 'irreducible mini
mum" New enterprises are sus-
pended. There is no disposition to
extend or enlarge business. Primar-
lily the scarcity of new investment
capital is responsible for this con-
dition, but along with that cause
is the disposition to await the re-
suits of the impending tariff legis-
lation and the uncertainty about the
outcome of the currency and bank
ing legislation in Washington.
