Need Dirt for Ivy Regrade.

Here's a chance for people with hills
where level land ought to be to get
rid Of some surplus dirt. The county
commissioners need a great deal of
earth to fill in the gaps made by Ivy
street regarding, and Shelby Smith,
chairman of the commission, has an
nounced that property owners will be
welcome to dump from 10000 to $4,000
cubic wards each where the foreman on
the Job may direct. The reclamation Of
Ivy street through improvements re-
Gently started has raised property val
ues greatly. The commissions plan to
complete the work is expected to bring
parcels much more quickly into an ac-
tive market.

Found $3.50 Pearl.

One day during the early part
of last week ]. NJ. Shutzl and
Steve Langston of Mt. Olive had
the good luck tofind a $3.50 pearl
in the river at that place. The
two men had gone over to the
river to hunt an axe that had
fallen into the river short time
before. Aftert the axe was recov-
cred Mr.. Langston got into the
water and gathered several mus
sells while Mr.. Shultz opened
them. The pearl was of good
size and lustre, but a few sand
specks brought the sale price
down to $3.50, which was paid by
O. H. Dixon, the Mt. Olive pearl
buyer and merchant. Calico

and already the common house
fly and others are appearing in
small numbers. God bless the
man who first invented screens!
Now is the time to get them
up before the flies get in. But if
they are in, kill everyone OF
them.
The best way to kill flies how
ever, is before they are born.
This can be done easily with
paris green in the same watery
solution that has proven so eff
fective as a maggot killer when
mixed in ratio of one pound
to twenty-five gallons of water
and sprinkled on stable manure
and other rubbish. A common
gardening water pot of water,
teaspoonful of paris green stir
red in and spninkled on fresh
manure, hy's favorite nesting
place, and the flies from the sta
BILE will not need swatting. Par
is green in this weak solution is
not injurious to stock and every
maggot killed means one less
fly to dodge next week. Neither
does paris green injure the fer
tilizing qualities of the manure,
but in negative way increases
it.
Be careful to keep the flies a
way from the milk you feed to
your babies. Prof. Rosenau has
discovered that the common sta
BILE fly will transmit paralysis
from one monkey to another
Furthermore, the virus of the
infantile paralysis has been
found to live for several days on
the body Of the common house
fly.
And finally when the open gar.
bage can and the pile of fresh
manure have been treated with
paris green and no Stops are
thrown into places for this yer.
min, the fly question will be
solved. In short, if you do not
want flies do not provide places
for them to breed in.-Fort

Assessments Considered by

Monday morning to hear COM
plants against assessments
made in the Cow Lake drainage
district, the first to be heard be-
ing that of S. NJ. Stuckey. Many
witnesses for and against the
proposed ditch were heard upon
the issue of whether the better
ment assessment was in line
with what the benefits would be
and a comparison of the better
ment tax with present values
and acquired values by reason of
the ditch.

D. Ward King was a North
Missouri farmer, who tired OF
the mires and mud along his
own farm. He began grading
the road in front of his place
and leyeling it after every rain
through the use Of a simple
drag, that can be constructed by
any blacksmith at a cost of
about $3.50. He soon had his
neighborhood talking about him
and adopting his methods and
now the whole world knows him
and road drags are recognized
creators Of good roads, except
in sandy soils. Come to New
port Saturday, May 81 and hear
him, also witness his own dem
onstration work.

Swatting The Fly Right.

Among the many places lined
up to swat the fly this summer
and swat it right, is Atlantic
City, N. J. The county has ap-
propriated $4,000 to eliminate
the pests. At a public meeting
held a few days ago it was de-
cided to offer prizes to the best
fly swatter and to bill the town
and show moving pictures OF
the dangers incident to the fly.
Prominent citizens were ap-
pointed to take charge of the
campaign.
Cleveland, Ohio, is another
town where vigorous work is
being done on the same line.
The records for one day for the
season were broken the other
day when 100000 dead flies
were piled upon the tables OF
campaign headquarters, and the
city's general fund was depict
ed by SIP in payment for them
This was the result of the
work of school children. st.
Clair school headed the list
with $3.50 flies to it's credit.
One room in the building con-
tributed 1900 carcasses Of the
disease-breeding insects. Chill
dren of other schools contribut-
ed their quota.
At Rome, New York, the city
authorities and the Chamber of
Commerce distributed 1000 fly
swatters, and will pay five cents
per hundred for flies swatted
and delivered during the next
three weeks. The person bring
ing in the largest number will
receive a S. gold piece.
1t is a great campaign and
should be kept going. Maybe
you smile every time you see
the phrase, "swat the fly" and
maybe you call the people who
are welding the swatters
cranks, but all the time the flies
are spreading filth and disease
over your homes, injecting your
self and your family, and in
creasing the profits of the drug
gist, the doctor and the under
taker.
Go after the fly, go after him
right now and keep going after
him. Fort Smith Times-Re-
cord.

Randolph Awake on Good Roads

RandOipn Awake OH COOu Ruduo
Pocahontas, May 18.-lnter-
est in road building in Randolph
county has been renewed with
what seems to be a determlna-
ton to put the main roads OF the
county in a condition that Will
enable travel at all times of the
year. During the admlnlstra-
ton of the late Judge Jufstedler
good road building was made a
leading issue. Road building
machinery of the latest type
was bought and put into the
hands of the different overseers
of the county.
Under the administration OF
County Judge M. R. Armstrong
a greater improvement IN the
work of repairing and building
frst-class roads in this county IS
expected.
B. Triggers, one of the veal
thy and influential land owners
Of this county, is behind a pro-
posed road from Maynard to Big
gers, a distance of 10 miles. 1hls
road would connect Maynard
with a railroad shipping point at
Biggers and with one OF the
richest farming belts in TINS
] section of the state. Mr.. Blggers
also proposes to get behind the
extension of this road to Knobel,
point on the Iron Mountain
Railroad in Clay County. This
would put a road through a very
fertile section of country, ano
such a road would add much to
the commercial interests of this
section.
A. ]. Weaver, a leading bust
ness man of Maynard, is heading
movement to build a first-class
road from Maynard to Pocahon'
tas.
The citizens of Maynard are
taking interest in this PROPOSE
ton, as it means much to that
town, as it is a school town, hav-
ing located there a branch OF
Ouachita college.
The matter has been put be-
fore the business men of Poca-
hontas, and it is receiving much
encouragement. Liberal dona-
tions have been subscribed for
this fund. The Commercial
Club will take the proposition up
at an early date and further the
work. The estimated cost of a
frst-class road from Pocahontas
to Maynard is $4,000; from
Maynard to Biggers, $1,000. A
road is proposed from Biggers
to Pocahontas, costing $4,000.

Practically one-third Of New
ports business comes from that
section of Jackson county east
of Village Creek. The mer-
merchant or business man, who
will ride over the roads of that
section leading into Newport
will wonder why the farmers OF
that section ever come to New
port.

If the road drag law of our
border state applied to Arkan-
sas and county seat highways
were thus created, Newport
would be connected with Bates
vile, Searcy, Augusta, Harris
burg, Jonesboro and Walnut
Ridge by regularly dragged
roads at an expense to the
state of less than $500 per
year. A road from Newport to
the county seats of surrounding
counties means a road into prac-
tically every section of the
county and would benefit the
whole county. Jackson county
could we'll afford to lead in an
improvement work of this char
acter and pay the expense from
her own revenues.

simple jingle so reminiscent of other days
and SO characteristic of that time.
Thanksgiving Day was the occasion for
family reunion. and, three generations
sat at almost every table. But that Is a
decadent spirit now.
1t has been the changing OF old things
for the new that has increased the cost
OF living. Wearing apparel that would
have caused envy a few years ago has
been relegated. Patched trousers are
looked upon by the average boy as the
mark OF infamy. Not so when father
wore knee breeches- He carried patches
on him by the dozen and the trousers
of his pIaymates always looked like crazy
quilts.
These things show why the cost Of liv.
ing has increased at such an alarming
rate during the last generation
