 Little Rock, Nov. 29.-A treat is in store for the white folks, as well as black, in the football game to be played for the cham pionship of Arkansas by the teams of Arkansas Baptist Col lege and Philander Smith Col lege at West End Park next Tuesday. Both are negro teams, and the rivalry between them IS decidedly keen.

 SWifton. Nov. 28.- Glass Township boys are not only to have an opportunity to compete for county and state prizes of fered those who excel in corn production, but township honors and awards as well.
 The Glass Township Boys Corn Club will probably have a membership of 50 to 60 mem- bers and every boy who makes the effort is to get a part of the prize money. MT. Ferdinand Tonney generously headed the list of contributors with $50 and the merchants and business men of Swifton expect to raise it to S100.
 S25 is to go to the boy who wins first honors in raising the most corn on one acre of land cultivated under the rules and di- rections of the boys corn clubs of the state. MT. E. T. Cashion is secretary and treasurer of the organization which is receiving the direction and help of our county demonstrator, Mr. J. P. Hurst.

could be done under the circunl- stances and within their means. In fact, the people of .Arliarsas are to be congratulated for the exceedingly high standard of men who have presided over the various county courts for wears back, and for the immense a. mount Of work and great prog ress made in road work under the most adverse financial con- ditions of almost any state in the union. These conditions. how ever, do not alter the needs of the state.
 The last legislature passed a law providing for the appoint ment of a Highway Commission and State Highway Engineer. The law provides that the serv- ices of the engineer may be had upon application of the county judge 10 the Highway Commis- sion without any charge against the county. Ii is not con- templated that the new High way department shall usurp any of the authority vested in the county judges. Nor does the Department offer any sugges- tions or advice excepting, as asked for by the judges of the various counties. Cooperation is the secret of success in all public matters, and only by a complete and hearty co-opera- tion with the judges who have the road work in charge, can the Highway Department render it's best service to the people.
 Bridge plans can be secured and a, better class of bridges of ten may be built at very nearly the cost of wooden culverts. When gravel is plentiful and handy, a good concrete bridge lean be built at the same or less Icost than for a steel construc-
 tion. In addition to the first cost, there is no future expense in the concrete bridge. There are no bolts to tighten up; no iron work to clean off and re- pair and no rods rdsting out to be replaced. Then too, instead of sending all of the cost of the bridge to Ohio or Pittsburg, or Chice for a steel structure, every dollar is spent at home. 1 All the cost is for labor except ing what is paid for cement, and that is bought from your local dealer. Let the Highway De- partment assist you in planning your new bridges.

DRAINAGE FIRST
 ROAD PROBLEM
Roads Should Be Planned Same As Buildings and Locations
 Are Important.

In planning good home, an office building, a church or a public building the services of a good architect are secured first.
 When 8 monument is to be built or q memorial fountain e. rected to commemorate the deeds Of some great man or some great event. an artist Of renown ]s selected-frst.
 Before any work is done in building or extending railroad. the engineering corps go over the ground and plans, the pro- files and the estimates are made. Prior to any construction or the outlay of any money the engineer is selected. His serv- ices are secured-first.
 Highway construction is no different from other public work and in all of it's phases should be handled in the same intelligent way. \ln the first place, the drainage is to be cared for. Drainage is the difficula prob- lem in road construction. With out proper drainage no road will stand; with proper drainage a poor road of bad material can at times be made a good road. Drainage is the first matter to be considered, and by long odds, the most important proposition | in connection with road construc- tion.
 As an integral part, any drain age scheme is the arrangement of culverts and bridges. These should not be too large on ac- count of the extensive costs nor can they be too small. Bridge and culvert openings cannot be guessed at. Drainage areas must be measured; the rainfall must be computed from govern iment data and the openings pro- lvided must be figured for a max Eimum. This can only be done by a competent engineer.
 Then, too, the location is inn
 portant. In general, most roads
 are easily located. But there are conditions in most every com- munitv where an engineer can locate new roads or relocate old lroads and save hundreds of dol liars per mile in construction. Or
 he may require, after his plans
 are prepared, more expensive
 road built which will result Tn an
 annual saving of many thous-
 ands of dollars to traffic ever the
 nroposed road. The grades anc
 the alignment are eXceeolhgiS
 important, second only to the drainage schemes. Only a first
 class engineer can properly lay
 out and plan the road to the oes'
 advantage, and the most success fullv built roads are those WI lcf are nlanned and built under th' supervision of competent cofp' of engineers.

treat her more or less as one of its
members. If it is a case of Juvenile
delinquency one of the Big Sisters
where she is visited at frequent inter-
walls. Books are furnished for her to

her to do and now and again she is
good play or other entertainment, va
ried by an occasional motor trip
through the parks, to the country or
the seashore. In fact every effort is
made to give her encouragement to
keep on her good behavior.
In the case of a Maynard girl gone
of this nature, different methods are
adopted. Where it seems advisable.
especially in instances of first offend
ers, the girl is paroled ITO her home
under the care of her parents, the
oversight of the probation officer and
the guardianship of the Big Sister as
signed to look after her welfare. Since
the majority of these cases, however
are found to be the direct result of
home environments, this method is not
always practicable. Unless the par
ate with the Big Sister, the girl gen.
orally finds her way back to the bar
OF the child-en's court, charged with
a second offense. In the greater num-
| Der of instances it has been found best
to remove the girl from her home

principally to get them away from
their old associates and environments,
and to keep them free from the temp

| has respectable parents and a good
home, the purpose is more to keep her
OUT of sight until her parents can

| quainted with her misfortune, when
she can go to her new home without
