Good Roads and Health.

Among other pleas for good
roads is one based on the influence
of such highways on the general
health, the theory being that if
the roads be dusty and uncIean
these who use the roads breathe
air that instead of being whole
some is burdened with disease
germs, says the San Antonio Ex-
press.
The average indoor worker who
takes advantage of an hour or two
of leisure to enjoy little fresh
air goes out upon the highway
and is most susceptible to the evil
effects Of germs!aaaasag dust and
As confrere puts it: when
an invalid goes for his first drive
be goes upon the road. When a
baby goes for walk, he is taken
along the highway. The aged
and infirm, called forth by neces-
sity or desire for the rest that
comes from change, breathe the
air of the road. 1t ought to be
good air. 1t cannot, if the road
be diversified by mosquito breed
ing pools, carpeted clean up to the
roadway with dank and matted
weeds, Uttered with filth, or per-
mitted to become knee-deep in
dust" But this is not the only
way in which bad roads exercise
an influence that is bad for health.
When there is sickness at the
farmhouse bad roads may prevent
the summons for the doctor from
being answered as quickly as it
might otherwise be and bad roads
keep the rural population housed
up in comparative isolation when
the girls and boys might be en-
joying the society of their neigh
bors either by the interchange of
visits or by assembling for literary
or other sorts of entertainment
and their elders from going to the
church only few miles distant or
from taking advantage of a little
leisure of evenings or between
seasons of strenuous activity for
neighborly intercourse. When
the weather is such that little
work can be done on the farm,
when 1t is too wet for blowing or
hoeing or harvesting and the far
mer can find leisure for a visit to |
the postffice or to attend to some
business in the nearby town the

MEXICAN INVASION
 INSIDE SIXTY DAYS
That's the Prevailing Impression at Washington. According to Mili- taFy Officer Just Returned
 War Department Silent.

Little Rock, July 25.-"United States troops will be in Mexico within the next 60 days" is the general expression in Washington, according to Major Eugene B. Jett, of the Arkansas National Guard, who has just returned from a trip to the seat of the national govern ment. He states that nothing is given out by the war department, but most of the people in Washing ton believe that when Ambassador Wilson returns and makes his re- port the troops will be ordered in to Mexico to put a stop to the war fare which has cursed the country for several years.
 According 10 Major Jett, the citi- zens of Washington give as the req son why Ambassador Wilson has not been recalled is that his sue ressor would have tO present his credentials to President Huerta, and this action would be a recOgni- ton of the Huerta government. Un- til definite action is agreed upon no change will be made in ministers.

SAYS ARKANSAS IS ,,o,
 IN PROSPEROUS ERA
Secretary C. C. Kirkpatrick or Ll''le Rock Board of Trade Believes
 i'm thp State.

Little Rock. July 23.-Ihat AT kansas is just entering an era ol development that will move the state with rapid strides to the fore front of the states of the south Is the belief of C. C. Kirkpatrick sec retary of the Chamber o1 Uolll- mprce. who has been identified WlIh many of the movements of Central
 American cities that has brought them into prominence. Mr. klrA- patrick is firm in his belief that Arkansas will have an umprecedehJ- eel era of advancement ana pros perity within the coming detaue'
 To this end Secretary hlrNpaJ-- rick is making every effort toward fine advancement of Arkansas. One
 of fine movements which he Is aEl-- taline at present is a complete ana
 thorough analysis of the present
 system of taxation, to the end JnaI there will be l3Ws of taxation maue that will be just and equitable to all. Along this line it Is cited by Mr. Kirkpatrick that many ol the
 largest lumber companies of Amerl..
 ca are impoverishing the lands oi
 Arkansas, and in turn are giving
 the state very little-the value o1
 the land is increasing at all times while little development is done.
 The era which Arkansas is just entering is a significant one, sad Mr. Kirkpatrick. This era has been coming for the past decade, and is the direct result of the nat ural growth of the state and an ap- preciation of it's resources by the world. There is now a movement for better roads, greater highways
 and interurbans in Arkansas. This , is practically the key to the sit
 uation. With the coming of the ln- terurbans and the construction of
 the Southern National Highway As
 sociation the Little Rock and Hot
 Springs road and the St. Louis, Lit-
 tie Rock and Hot Springs highway | prosperity will come. Little Rock and Arkansas await fine buiIding of i these roads.
