Gnn. Rlnck,s Story

The story of Geo. Black, the own CT of the boat, is substantially the same as Jud Matthews up to the time they reached the scene of the accident. He says:
 "Whea we got within about half 9 mile of Sturglll's wood camp we were pretty well over toward the eastern shore,-not more than a quarter of a mile out. There was a pretty stiff breeze blowing and the water was rather rough. Although [ continued to keep the boat trim med, the passengers were restless from the shaking up they were get ting and would crowd from one side Of the boat to the other.
 "While throwing the boat out to round 9 point the people on board all crowded to port, and though l held the tiller hard over I failed to right the boat and the water, pour ing over the port gunwale, capsiz- ed it.
 There was no reason for either Bell. Logan or Maturein being drowned, as they were all good swimmers. and the two former swan around the boat for a long time be- fore they started for shore. They could easily have reached 1t then but for some unaccountable reason when they got pretty nearly there they appeared to become confused and commenced to swim around aimIessly, soon afterward going down.
 "NIaturein was an especially strong swimmer, but he refused tc leave his companions and lost hi. | life in trying to save the colOret woman, Myrtle, whom he caught an placed back on the boat innumer able times after she had lost hel hold and was drifting out of reach He exerted himself to such an eN tent that he became exhausted ant died while lying stretched on thu boat.

side I was hanging to the boa ! and Beruhofer was swimming toWar lit. I reached out and pulled hin up to the boat. His eyes were bloodshot and he would not answer my query as to how he felt.
 When Running started for shore he called out that he was going anc looked at BernhOfer as though eX pectlng him to go along with him but the latter just gazed at hin and did not appear to realize the situation. The boat rolled again and the next time l saw Bernhofel he was on the opposite side of the boat to everyone else, hanging or to the side
 q said, Whats the matter, Hen ry?' but he just stared and did not answer.
 The Loat then rolled toward me and I said, shove off, Henry, the boat is liable to hit you He shoy- cd back about ten feet and then started to swim slowly toward the boat. Then he stopped.
 q then said to Jud Matthews, Reach out out something to Henry, Jud.' and Jud showed out his leg and told Henry to catch it, but the latter did not seem to See it or to know what was going on.
 When about six feet from the boat Beruhofer threw up his hands and went down so suddenly that thought something or someone unde water had grabbed him and pulled him down.
 "Jud Matthews was the hero of the occasion and the coolest and most resourcefuI of any man on board. He saved Boone and myself and would doubtless have saved Bernhofer, too, had not his atten- ton been attracted to the other end of the boat at the critical mo- meut when Bernhofer went down. As it WAS ho offered him his foot to cling to but Bernhofer failed to take advantage of the offer
 Matthews also saved sam Rad os by pulling him up on the boat. He was the only man who was aboV water all the time and kept four or five of us from drowning. If it had not been for Jud, several more If our party would undoubtedly have been lost.
 Tom Running also deserves much praise for his work of swim ming to land, negotiating the almos impossible shore line and reaching the dock in time to get help to go to tre rescue of those whose lives had already been saved sev- craI times by Matthews, but whose work would have proved futile had not the assistance come just as it did.

ITO save my life 1 can't under stand why it is that a real nice modest woman would so far for get herself as to appear on the street in such dress said an aged and highly respected parent as a certain young Brlnkley woman passed down the street where several men had glanced at her and looked at each other and smiled. She had on one of these barrell hoop dresses and because of her figure and eX- treme narrowness of the lower part of her skirt, there was a ridiculousness about her appear ance that evidently brought forth this remark from the parent. Surely there is not virtue more beautiful in woman than that of modesty.

That is what you can do If you take Dodson's Liver Tone. Many people know the danger of ca!o- mel, yet they take it because they know nothing better. Other people are not afraid of calomel, because they do not understand what a dangerous drug 1t is. Because it has never hurt them, they believe it never will.
 No one needs to take danger ous calomel (which is just another form of mercury).

WAY MARKS TO GOOD TEACHING
 The Recitation

In the recitation the teacher must test the pupils mastery of the lesson, instruct and drill him where the same is necessary. The pupil must reproduce the several points of the lesson in his own language and show that he has acquired and assimilated them. He utili zes the instruc- tion given and engages in the necessary drills to master that in which he is found deficient. What was imperfectly under stood now becomes clear, what was unrelated and without in- terest is now seen to have deep significance. The pupil should make distinct advance and be prepared to take the next step. SUGGESTIVE QUESTIONS ON THE 
 EXCAVATIONS
 Does the pupil answer what he knows or does he guess?
 Do the questions reveal to the pupil what he does not know and why he does not know it? 
 Do my questions and manner invite pupils interest and con- fidence so that they ask ques- tions for information or do they cause them to conceal their ignorance?
 Have I skill in discovering what the pupil does not know and why he does not know it?
 Do give the spupil a fair chance to recite or do 1 interrupt before the pupil has finished?
 Do repeat the pupils answer?
 Do my questions suggest the answer and can they be answer ed by yes or no?

After its improvement the average load was found to be 2,000 pounds, and the time con- sumed in hauling the larger load to market was much reduced. In other words, one man with a wagon and two mules could do more than twice as much work with the improved road than with an unimproved road"
 Thus it can readily be seen that 1t is the farmer who is pay ing each and every year more than the cost of a permanent road tax would be for five years and he has no roads either after it all.
 Hundreds of thousands of dollars of money has been col lected since the yearly road tax has been levied in Monroe Coun- ty and yet there is not mile of real roadway in the entire coun- ty. So long as this system is allowed there's no hope of Mon- roe County ever having a system of permanent roads and hence the ARGUS favors the voting down of the road tax levy at the September election. When this lis done there will be some hope for a permanent road system and 1t behooves the farmers of Monroe County to see to 1t that their ballots read against road tax"
 There's not a county in America that has eyer built good roads under the system in vogue in Monroe County.
 The road tax of Monroe Coun- ty has been the source of trouble and scandal that has disgraced our name. Stop it, and settle on a plan to get real roads.
 Real roads cost money. The only way to get them is to BUY and PAY for them. Other coun- ties in Arkansas are getting per- manent roads and it is the farm CTS who have become awake to their position, who have voted to do this.
 Will Monroe County farmers wake up.

THE spending of S100, 900 in cold cash in making an Arkansas display at the California Ex- position would be just the thing if the internal improvements in Arkansas were such as condi- tions imperatively demand. If Gov. Hays would but throw the same energy behind a movement that would insure a system of permanent roadways for ArSan- sas he would meet the real needs and demands of the hour. Ar kansas has the attention of hundreds of thousands of out siders but thousands of good farmers in Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and other states are turning away from Arkansas because we have no roads. 1t is internal improvements we need now, Gov. Hays, and if you can raise $1OO, 900 for a Califor- mia display you could surely raise a million for permanent roads for Arkansas.

length of the road. In other
 words, eliminate steep grades by locating the road on curved or zigzag lines, and not in a straight line from the bottom to the top lof the hill. These curves should be carefully plotted and the straight stretches located with an instrument. This improves lthe looks of the road and does not add materially to it's cost.
 MEANING OF A ONE FOOT GRADE In studying the relation of grade to distance the following calculation is interesting: To lift a ton 1 foot high requires 1000 foot-pounds of energy; on
 a road the serface of which offers 100 pounds of tractive resistance per ton the same energy would roll the ton a horizontal distance of 20 feet. To save 1 foot of grade the road may therefore be Heightened 20 feet.
 Roads should never be located so close to stream beds as to be subject to overflow, or on ground which is constantly damp and marshy.
 The earth road should have at least six hours of sunshine each day. This can be secured either by locating the road with south ern or western exposure, or by
 having such brush and trees as impede the drying action of the
 sun and wind removed. With gravel and stone roads this is not so necessary, as a certain
 amount of moisture is needed on
 such roads, especially in the
 summer time.
 Re locating roads IS not an
 engineering problem alone. One
 must also consider the effect of
 the road on those who now live upon it. Many farmers dislike
 to have the road placed back of
 their house or out of sight of it.
 It requires tact and good judg-
 ment to secure suitable loca-
 tion without arousing harsh antagonism.

COST AND LOCATION OF EARTH
 ROADS

The cost of hauling over coun- try roads is largely determined by the size of the load that can be hauled, the number of trips that can be made in a day, and the wear and tear on teams and equipment, according to the Office of Public Roads. Steep grades, as well as ruts and mud holes, serve to decrease both the speed and the load. On the principle that a chain is strong CT than its weakest link, the maximum load that a. team can draw is the load that it can draw up the steepest hill or through the deepest mudhole on that road.
 Wherever possible roads should be located on straight lines be- tween terminal points. In hilly CT mountainous country, how ever. the attempts to keep roads straight between terminals often leads to the the serious error of heavy grades. Straightness and grade must. therefore, be handled together. The best location is one which is straight in general direction. is free from steep grades, is located on solid ground, and serves the largest possible number of people. Roads should be located for the bene- fit of the public, as well as the private landowner.
 The elimination of one or two steep hills on a line of road will frequently enable horses to draw three or four times as much as they could draw on the old road. It takes approximate ly four times as much power to draw loads up 10 per cent grades (10 feet vertical in 100 feet horizontaD as on a level; but on a 4 per cent or 5 per cent grade a horse can usually draw (for a short time) as much as he can draw on a level. A 4 per cent grade is, therefore. considered the maximum on roads subject to heavy hauling. Many steep grades may be avoided by locat- ing the road around instead of over the hill the handle of the bucket is no longer when held in a horizontal position than in al verticel. By going around we avoid two steep hills.
 If the road must pass up al steep hill or mountain sides, the steepness of the grade may be decreased by increasing the
