COMMISSION HAS CRUSHER
Crushed Rock for Road Building to &c
Furnished at Cost.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Little Rock-A boom in road build
ing is now expected in Arkansas az
the result of the State Highway Com
missions action. The commission last
week leased a big rock crushing plant
and will operate it with convict labor
1t is the plan Of the commission to
furnish to the road districts OF the
state crushed rock at cost. In addl-
ton to this an effort will be made to
get reduced freight rates on all rail
roads for the crushed stone. ITO OBJ
tain this rate" said Rueben G. Dye,
I'VE, of course, will have to show the
railroad companies that no individual
contractor will be beneficiary. This
we will be easily able to do. With the
low cost Of production and the result
ant low selling price to consumers,
road work in the state will be en-
HANGED greatly.
Besides the crusher and a 20-acre
quarry tract, the lease includes several
stockades erected about two years ago
for convicts who then we're used as
laborers. A request has been made Of
the state penitentiary for 100 men.
Active work viii begin soon.
The machinery leased by the state
includes three Of the latest type gyra-
tory crushers driven by steam engines.
The boilers are in good condition and
when combined will develop steam for
300 horsepower. In the quarry tract
leased there are approximately 81
acres Of blue trap rock, which is en-
tirely free from slate and shale and
contains but every little dirt. The
oringinal cost Of the plant, inclding
the crushers, engines. boilers, a steam
shovel, drills, quarry cars, the railway
tracks and the quarry site, approx
mated $4,000, according to Mr.. Dye.

this action as the result of several re-

I'VE for years have celebrated such

Fourth of July, mothers day and 9TH
ers too numerous to mention and this
is, think, as it should be- However,
it is time that we were turning more
to the future and the development of
our future citizenship, and a day set
apart as Children's day, no doubt, will
be a big factor in such development.
The ultimate solution of our crime
problem is the proper care and train
ing of our boys and girls. Few people
become criminals after they have
reached the age of 81.
Such day, if used wisely, would
serve to direct the thoughts of the
boys and girls of our state to the du-
ties and responsibilities of citizenship,
and to the value of health and clean
illness of mind and body, of education,
of morals and physical courage, and of
courtesy and generosity, and in max
ing their lives both successful and

HOPE TO RETAIN THE GUARD
Organization Not Yet Disbanded-Gen.
B. w. Green Resigns.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Little Rock-At the present time
one of the principal subjects around
the statehouse is the Arkansas Ma
tional Guard. Last week Gov. Hays
was notified that the war department
had definitely decided to withdraw all
support from the militia organization
because of unsatisfactory conditions.
By many this was taken as an indi-
cation that the guard would be dis
banded, but Gov Hays is not willing
TO have 1t so and has been working on
plans to reorganize and retain the
guard. While the governor has made
no definite statement it is known that
EAs has taken the matter up with the
federal officers in hopes of formulat-
ing some plan by which the guard will
be put on a footing that will be salts
factory to the war department and
that will enable Arkansas to receive
its share of the federal appropriation,
which amounts to $4,000 for this year.
One of the recent developments in
the affair of the guard is the resigna-
ton of General B. W. Green. Mr.
the affairs of the guard is the resigna-
ing the fact that he was beyond the
age of retirement in the regular army
service and intimated that he was not
pleased with the course of recent
events.
Gen. Green has been connected with
the Arkansas organization for many
years and has served under several
different administrations.
