O. State Board of Charities.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Aug. s. The
State Board of Charities will
next month start a general
movement for better stock at the
state institutions, or no stock

Confederate Soldiers Home will
be sold and replaced with regis
tered stock. probably Holsteins.
Ii this is not done a contract will
be made for the purchase of
milk for the institution, as is
done at the Insane Asylum, the
blind school and deaf mute in
stitute.
Several years ago the board
sold the dairy herd at the state
hospital because it was infected
with tuberculosis. There is
Of that kind at the Con-
federate Home, but the Board
desires a strain of stock that
will produce results in the way
Of milk.
The Board will also purchase
automobiles for the different in
stitutions, expecting thereby to
greatly increase the service of
the various departments through
the saving of time in the trips

Rest Room For Women.

The Young Women's Civic
Improvement Club held an en-
thusiastic meeting Thursday ev-
ening with Mrs. Dorsey, pre-
vious to her going away for the
rest of the summer.
They discussed the lots and
corners, where grass and weeds
have been given the fright of
way" and agreed to bring the
same to the notice of the Street
and Alley Committee. Also
there was a report made of GER
tain complaint from residents
in the Lake bridge" neighbor-
hood, the same to be reported to
the Board of Health.
But the subject that claimed
their greatest interest was that
which has been on their hearts
and minds from the beginning
wiz: the opening this fall, of a
Rest Room for the country wo-
men,"
To this end they hope to Sc
cure the cooperation of all the
women in the county. Letters
twill be sent to representative
women in every town, village
and neighborhood, asking them
to hold meetings, form q COM
|'mittee and send one or more re-
representatives. to a meeting to be
held here at an early date to dis
cuss the best means of securing
a large membership, and to for
fmulate plans for the work.
They expect to secure at least
a thousand active members
among the women, and as many
honorary ones among the men.
In this way, our farmers wives
will feel they are coming where
they have q right, and each
member of the club will be in a
sense hostess to those who come
from her own neighborhood.
The work is Of the highest i'm
portance and it will mean a
great deal to our town and cOun-
tv. A business man speaking OF
it said:
cat last you women have ia
ken hold of something that is
really worth while"

! that it was q shame there was
no place where the country wo-
men could spend a few hours OF
pleasant, social intercourse and
rest when they come to town.

Proper Program Harmony.

llldheS an attempt TO answer my
article Of the 9TH. and stated
out with the idea that the coun-
ty Judge was getting unjust crit
icism for allowing the city of
Newport S2,474 out of the
funds of road District Nc. 6.
Now it was not my intention
to criticise anyone about this
matter, but only to show to the
public that it was being done, in
fact, if you could call it criti-
cism it would mean not only the
county Judge, but everyone who
had anything to dc with the
transaction.
My idea was to create the i'm
preston that this money could
have been more judiciously US
edon the countyr0ads and would
have done greater good to a
greater number of people than
it could possibly do by being
spent on Front street in the city
of Newport.
Now, in regard to the road
money that has been spent in
the city Of Newport in the past
number Of years, will say that
this has been done and why?
For the best Of reasons, the
town Of Newport has been in
debt, and the city scrip has been
only worth about fifty and six
ty cents on the dollar, conse-
quently the people generally
thought it was nothing but fair
for the road district to come
forward and lend the city a help
ing hand, but did the city do
likewise when they happened to
get some money in the treasury
of the city? Not much, for they
have now in the treasury about
ten thousand dollars, being all
the ready cash they could very
we'll use for several months, but
7 haven't heard anything about
the city offering to repay this
debt of gratitude to the road
district by going out and MAX
ing some good road but on the
other hand, the city is still
asking the road district to come
across with more money and at
2 time when the city does not
need it, and the road needs a
great deal more than they have
to make even temporary re-
pairs.
In regard to the different
streets that the county has
made. will say that ! have never
heard of any money that was
spent on Hazel or Walnut streets
as the people have been OF the O.
pinion that this money was spent
bv property owners. ! know that
several years ago, one member
of the city council came to me
and said that if the property
owners would furnish the rock
that the city would pave Hazel
street. and | told him that II all
Of the properly owners would a.
gree that I would, and later ne

came back to me and said that
everything was o. k. and l palo

used in front of my properly
and I suppose the other proper :
~ owners did likewise, ana
have always been of the opih-
mon that all of the cross streets
in the city were done IN the
same way.
I am just of the same opinion
Of the Independent that we oo
not want to arouse jealousies
over these matters, but we &c
want to arouse interest and lei
rs all try to get our mlnos 1o-

Respectfully,
w. d. McLain.

The Independent is certainly
willing and while we understand
our information is accurate and
correct as to the city receiving
assistance from the road dis
trict'e funds for the paving of
the cross streets named, it is
not an issue now involved The
question of good roads is too big
and TOO pressing for the evil
dence Of any jealousies and
what we need is as Mr.. McLain
says, harmony and public spirit
i'm the working out of this prob

citizens of the county of the at
titude of this city through a

VILLA THREATENS
 LAPS IN CHIHUAHUA
;;;:.s:::;;ss:;:sssssssssssss:=:: ;::;::;s:ss::ss;


 JIarez, Mex, Dec. 24-Genera1 Villa has threatened the Japanese in the State of Chihuahua unless the Japan ese government changes it's attitude toward the Huerta governm ent and it's representatives. The reception of Francisco de Ia Barra by the Japanese government and the series of enter tainments for him, coupled with the shipment of arms and ammunftions to General Huerta by the Japanese factories, has aroused the fighting blood in the Constitutionalist leader, and he has declared that unless this friendship between the Huerta gov ernment and Japan ceases he will drive all of the Japanese out of the State, as he did the Spaniards.
 There are more than 400 Japanese employed in Chihuahua and through out the State. Many of them are expected to leave at once and several reached Juarez and filed their app1i- cations for permission to cross into the United States to avoid trouble.
 The first detachment of General Sa- have reached the Mexican Central Railroad today. The telegraph wire was cut at Terrazas and the train from Chihuahua did not arrive in Ju- arez this evening. Reports from Ter razas say a bridge has been burned at Ojo Ca1iente and it is thought that the federal irregu1ars have reached that point in advance of General Sa- lazar. It was 8 part of the program of General Salazar to send a scout de- tachment ahead to cut the railroad, thus preventing the rebels from nov ing troops.
