improved Roads in Arkansas.

Every five yea1s the U. $. Depart ment of Agriculture, through it's office of Public Roads takes a census of public road milage and expenditures in the various states. The first census was taken in 1904, the second in 1909, and the next is soon to begin for 1914. The result of this investigation will at tract nationwide attention.
 As a result of the 1909 census it was shown that twenty-two states of the Union had less than per cent of their roads improved and among this num- Der was Ark ansas. There were in Ark ansas at that time 36, 445 miles of public roads.
 Or the total mileage for 1909, ITO miles were reported surfaced with stone. 2372 25 with gravel, and SIS miles with sand-clay, making total of 1,085 05 miles of improved roads, There were no sand-clay roads reported for 1904. The total mileage of improved roads re- ported for 1904 was 236, which shows a gain of 849 25 miles for the 5-year period between 1904 and 1909.
 It appears from these figures that 2.97 per cent of the roads ill Arkansas were improved at the close of 1909, while in 1904 only 064 per cent were reported improved, which indicates a gain of 2.23 per cent of for this period.
 Forty-fve counties reported no im- proved roads, 22 counties reported less than 10 per cent improved roads, counties reported between 10 and 19 per cent improved, while one county, Pulaski, reported 61,29 per cent inn proved roads.

Contest Ends Dec. 24, 1913, 8, P M, Sharp Vote for the Girl of Your Choice! !

Here is little fable that is being told as helpful hint for any unenlight ened ones who may have tried shirking once or twice without apparent bad results. A farmer had a mule and an OK that he worked side by side in the field. One night the OK decided he had been working little too hard, so the next morning he played sick. His owner was very solicitous and bedded him down with straw, fed him nice bran mash and left him to chew his cud and rest. The mule was taken out and worked hard at the blow. When they came in that night the OK asked the mule if the farmer had said anything about his being sick. The mule said his owner had not even mentioned him, so the OK decided to try his ruse anoth CT day, and he did so with equally sat isfactory results. Again that night he asked the mule if the farmer had said anything about him. Not to me, " replied the mule, 'but he stopped and had long talk with the butcher on the way home.

Volume 24
MAIL ORDER PHILOSOPHY.

The Tribune has had little to say on the subject of ordering from mail order houses, feeling that to fight these concerns often advertises their busi- ness and more harm to the community may be accomplished by criticising people, who honestly feel that they are best serving themselves by trading with these concerns.
 We feel however, that the following article clipped from Kansas exchange touches upon some points that people should think about when sending away for their goods.
 The article is the substance of a letter written to the Larkin Co.,, an- swering a communication from that giant corporation telling her why she should trade with that concern.
 The letter is as follows:
 Referring to the subject of Home Loyalty, which you call q 'bogie, held up by local merchants. You suggest that it would be better for me to send my money to mail order houses and keep the retailers profit myself than to buy goods tt home and let our home stores make the profit.
 Your essential premise is that you sell to me at the same price which the local retailer pays at wholesale. That is a vital point which am not yet ready to concede, except for the sake argu ment.
 "But assuming your premise to be correct, has it ever occurred to you what the consequence would be if my self and all my neighbors out in the smaller towns should begin to send their money to the mail order houses, in order to keep the profit themselves ? Let us suppose that
 my husband clerks in the store. Mrs. Smiths husband drives the de livery wagon.
 Mrs. Browns husband is cashier in the local bank.
 Mrs. Jones' husband teaches the village school.
 Mrs. Whites husband breaches in the village church,
 and we all stop trading at home. Sup pose all the rest of the women did the same. What is good for one is good for all. What would be the re- Su1t ]?

Discriminating Sparrows.

An Atchison man planted lettuce, but as fast as 1t came through the ground the English sparrows ate it off He finally got a few small flags and stuck them in the lettuce bed and not a sparrow would consent to touch that lettuce as long as Old glorv Aaa.o3 over it.-Atchison lKap.) Globe.
The Green Forest tribune., 1913-12-12
THE CONSEQUENCE

First the stores would close up.
 My husband would lose his job We would have to probably to some big city.
 Mrs. Smiths husband would lose his job and they would move away.
 '"rhe stores being closed and local business suspended, the bank would be driven into liquidation and Mrs Browns husband would lose hIs job, and would move.
 .An the families in town having been driven away, the school would of course close up and Mrs. Jones' hus- band would lose his place.
 ''The church would die and Mrs. Whites husband would be out hunting for new pastorate.
 THE NEXT RESULT.
 ''And we women, by organizing our Larkin clubs, and by distributing our Montgomery Ward catalogs, have prac tically discharged our own husbands and separated ourselves and children from eur bread and butter. The small town would be dead. We would have to go to the farm or the big city in order to exist.
 ''Of course I realize, as you also re-
  to come to pass; but this is not your fault. Your policy, if carried out to it's logical end, would mean just this.
 '.Would it help me much to save the profits at such cost?
 Tour claim that the prices quoted in your catalog are the same the local merchant pays at wholesale is not well founded.
 SOME REAL FACTS.
 Furthermore, am inclined to be- lieve from inquiries l have made that could go to our home stores and by buy ing in $10 lots, paying cash, and taking the goods home with me, 1 could save the premiums you offer, considering the cost of shipping and delivery of goods from Peoria, besides 1 would be buying at home, save several weeks of waiting, avoid the risk of delay and loss and you would know in advance by personal examination just what am getting.
 Referring again to the matter of profits, let me say this:
 'sl do not know of any merchants in the small towns of Kansas who are making unreasonable amounts of money, if appearances count for anything. These merchants live modestly and seem to practice the usual economies Montgomery Ward on the other hand, is millionaire; and the profits of his company are increasing by mil lions in each annual report; Julius Rosenwald is lti-millionaire; the Larkin family, l am told, are multi millionaires.
 WHO GETS THE PROFITS?
 '.Who are getting the big profits?
 "I asked you to give me the small merchants who are acting or names of few of these wives of secretaries of Larkin clubs, so that 1 might write to them. You refuse to do so because you say they fear publicity. You also say you have to ship out your goods in plain, unlabeled boxes and your letters in sealed envelopes without printing. Out here in Kansas we know just ex- actly what this means. The Kansas City whiskey houses send their adver- Using matter here in plain sealed en- velopes. The jugs and bottles come in plain, unlabeleds boxes. The famous dstillers of Peoria, H., ship us their booze in disguised packages. Such devices, in Kansas, are the brand of an illegitimate business. We recog-
The Green Forest tribune., 1913-12-12
nize the signs without hesitation.
 A QUICK DECISION.

''You say in your letter which is it better for me to buy at home or from the mail order house. 1 believe you are right, 1 have decided to help the home merchants keep their heads above water instead of adding my mite to the Larkin millions. 1 am going to do what I can to save the small towns. v

much doubt that he will have to SUI
fer the penalty, and serve him right.
II he hasn't, his opposition to the arbi-
trary assumption that his newspaper is
criminal in printing a fact will be
worth following closely.
A Judge on the bench ought to be
protected against untruthful allega-
tions. But the judge on or off the
bench is not holy thing to be hedged
in with his own arbitrary rulings.
There is not the slightest reason why
any order Of judge should not be
given publicity in a newspaper. The
people who support courts have as
much right to know what the courts do
and how they do it as they have to
know what the board of supervisors is
doing. Moreover sincere and honest
criticism of court action when all the
facts are given seems to be part of the
privilege of a free press.
At any rate with Nelson defending
