regulating the issuance of liquor IL
cense in Arkansas, can prevent the
reference of the act to vote OF the
people at the next general election,
will be handed down this morning by
Attorney General w. l.. Moose, says
the Arkansas Gazette.
Attorney General Moose last night
declined to give any intimatlon OF
what his opinion will be, but friends
close to him say he will decide the
liquor bill may be referred to the peo-
pies vote because the emergency
clause is defective.
The constitution of Arkansas pro-
vides that all acts of the legislature
are referable, except those necessary
for the immediate preservation of the
public peace, health and safety. The
emergency clause to Act 50 declares
the act is necessary for the public
peace, health and safety, but omits the
word immediate" Moreover, it pro-
vides that the law shall not become
effective until after December /, 1914.
1t generally is supposed the emer-
gency clause was attached to Act SO
to prevent its reference to a vote of
the people. Yet many who doubt the
of the legislature in passing
the bill, declare the emergency clause
was made defective purposely as a

Joker" to the bill.
If friends of Mr.. Moose are right in
their assertion that the attorney gen
eral will decide the emergency clause
is invalid and the act may be referred,
the provisions of the act will be sus-
pended until the next general election,
when the people will vote upon the
measure.
Act 50, formerly known as Senate
Bill No. 11S or the Going Act, pro-
vides that no liquor license shall be
issued in Arkansas unless a majority
of the adult white citizens of town
petition for such saloon license Each
petition and the name of each signer
thereto, the act provides further, must
be published in at least two issues of
a newspaper published in the city or
town where the petition was circu-
lated
Negro voters are barred from sign
ing the liquor license petitions, but
white women are permitted to join
with the white men in signing if they
so desire. But majority of the adult
white citizens must sign petitions be-
fore a license will be granted.

THE GOOD ROADS MAN.

We reproduce the following inter
esting news story from the Paragould
Soliphone of a recent visit to Para
gould of 'the father of good roads,
I'D. Ward King of Maitland, Mo-,
inventor of the famous King split-log
drag and for II years engaged in lee
turing on the efficacy of this simple
road builder, was a Paragould visitor
Monday.
"For II years Mr.. King has devot-
ed his entire time to lecturing on good
roads and inducing the people to use
the split-log drag He has nothing to
sell and represents nobody but him
self. The drag is a simple contriv-
ance, easily constructed and costs
practically nothing. It's value as a
road builder has long since been con-
ceded and it points the way to secure
good roads without money" as Mr..
King explains. The inventor of the
split-log drag has delivered numerous
lectures in Arkansas, including Para
gould, and recently he completed
tourr of the western portion of the
state. As a result of his talks to the
people in many of the western coun-
ties, they are using the drag constant
ly and already the roads are showing
a marked improvement. Mr.. King
says using the drag is like combing
ones hair-we apply the comb and
brush every day because to neglect the
use of either article is to permit the
hair to get tangled The drag should
be used constantly following each rain
TO prevent the roads from deteriorat-
ing. He says proper dragging will
put the roads in such condition that it
will take constant rainfall of three
weeks to make any appreciate effect
on them.
"Mr. King discounts the steel drag
and all other new ideas that have
been tackled on to the original split-log :
drag. He hos worked out all of these
ideas and finds that every time an at
tempted improvement is made the eff
fieiency of the drag is diminished. The
hardest obstacle he has to overcome is
the simplicity of this road builder. Be-
cause it is easy to make, because it
costs practically nothing, because it is
not difficult to operate, there is a pop
ular doubt in regard to it's value.
These and hundreds of other things
about road construction he brings out
in his lectures.
~tHere are some King Drag Driplets'
which Mr.. King has printed for circu-
lation, gratis:
drag the road and keep your
mouth shut. Let the road do the talk
ing.
"The King drag, like the old-fash-
toned pole AK, is injured when improv-
ed.
-'The roads do not need fixing; it is
the peoples heads. Fix the heads of
the people and the roads will fix them
selves.
"The wheel of loaded wagon fol-
lowing a King drag is the heaviest
road roller.

WILL HUG HIS MOTHER FOR A
STRAIGHT MONTH

PunxsUtawney, Pa, Dec. 13.-John
James Hurley, age 20, is just going
to stay home while and hug his
mother"
1t is fourteen years since he has
seen her. Shortly before his birth,
his father got the gold fever and went
to the California gold fields.
Six years afterward, a wealthy
miner, he returned and kidnapped his
son. A chase followed that led over
the East and John says he remembers
being turned over to a confederate
of his father and taken to Montana.
He says he went to Gonzaga Col
lege at Spokane for a time, and then
his father seemed to take a dislike
to him, and he declares he was placed
in a correctional institution at Che
halls, Wash, on a framed-up charge
of incorrigibility.
A month or so ago John learned
about his mother Mrs. Mary Floetke,
who conducts boarding house at
Midtown, Wash, told him. He came
home yesterday.

BURLINGTON PAYS LOWEST
WAGE TO WoRKINGMEN

WAGE TO WORKINGMEN
The Burlington Road, although
paying enormously fat salaries to
few officials, pays the lowest to its
army of workingmen was the state
ment made in tables of figures sub
mitted to the arbitration board by
]. V. Ryan, statistician for the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.
Ryan's figures also showed an i'm
mense increase in the profits of the
road without proportionate increase
in expenses.
Other things discovered by Ryan:
Actual expense of conducting
transportation formed a smaller pro-
portion of the operating expense of
the Burlington Railroad during 1912
than on any other big Western road
except the Santa Fee.
The labor expense of conducting
transportation, including conductors
and trainmen's wages, formed "a
smaller proportion of operating ex-
pense on the Burlington than on any
other road except the Great North
ern.
Payments to the high officials of
the Burlington formed larger oper-
ating expense than on any other road
except the Great Northern.

ENT arrived at such a startAngly
early date this year that 1t rather

However, as the season wears on eggs
become more plentiful and at their dearess
they are less costly than meat. Study up
variety of ways to prepare them. not only
from motives OF economy but also because
they make less OF demand upon the aver
age digestion than SO much meat. and IN
order to introduce them into the bill of fare
with satisfaction to the eaters they must

dishes and tell about them or to report IN

grateful. but IN any case hope my sug-
gestions may prove of help to those of you
who struggle against monotony in cookery
and are obliged to get variety at small
cost. Egg dishes may not serve for the
main item at dinner. but at breakfast,
luncheon. or supper they are invaluable

white sauce with a tablespoonful each of
butter and flour, cooked together until they
bubble. and half pint of milk, stirred with
these until the sauce is smooth and thick.
Season to taste with salt and pepper add
the chopped eggs, and pour rounds or
squares of toast. Serve hot.
Or II you have gravy or stock you may
use this for your sauce instead of the milk,
cooking It in the same way with the butter
and flour. Or you may exc out the eggs
with the remnants of any cold meat you
have, adding this to the sauce. or you may
put leftover peas or string beans or corn
with the eggs. Made in this way the dish is
substantial enough to serve for luncheon.
There is more economy in cooking the eggs
this way than in serving them boiled fried
or poached- The man who would think
nothing of eating two eggs prepared in one
of these styles will be satisfied with one or
one and half when they are mixed with
sauce such as I have described, and
