Tennessee Business Man and
Reformer Endorses Stand
for Better Prisons.

Frank f. Mahoney, secretary and
general manager of the Rhodes Ma
honey Furniture Company. of Chat
tanooga. is in Atlanta buying goods
for a big special furniture sale to be
conducted by his firm soon.
MIR. Mahoney is one of the remark
able business men of the nation, and
is known wherever success in bust
ness obtains. He is an president
of the Chattanooga Chamber of Com
nierCe, is vice president of the State
Retail Furniture Dealers Association
OF Tennessee, and Is the president of
the John Howard Association of Ten
nessee, a splendid and highly effective
organization working for prison bet
terment and reform.
Mr. Mahoney, as advertising man
ager of one OF the largest and most
successful furniture houses in New
York for fourteen years, used exclu-
siyely AID with amazing success the
Hearst newspapers.
He says frankly mat, in his opinion,
there are NO newspapers in any sec
ton of the nation so surely effective
as the Hearst papers. He places them
in a class by themselves, when re-
suits are looked for.
Mr. Mahoney also sympathizes
warmly with the Hearst newspapers
in the fight they continuously are
waging for prison betterment and re-
form everywhere. This is a subject
very close to Mr.. Mahoney's heart,
and his ideas run parallel to those
of the Hearst papers on this vitality
important matter.
In his personal appearance Mr.. Ma
honey bears a striking resemblance
to the late Kyrie Bellew, the famous
actor. The Chattanooga man used to
be mistaken for the actor. and rather
enjoyed the complications sometimes
arising from the situation

Would Improve County Roads

In a circular letter that was recent

the secretary Of the state highway
commission makes some important
suggestions regarding road improve
ment work. The circular says in
part:
You no doubt received a copy of

Drag Book" mailed you recently,
which publication is intended to make
the use and construction of this SIM
pie and efficient road tool better n
derstood by all road officials and road
advocates.
wish this time to call your atten-
ton to the fact that now is the sea
son to start dragging your roads.
Fright after each rain" when the soil
is soft and will easily nov into all
the ruts and holes, is just the right
time to drag a road.
Don't get discouraged If your re-
suits are not immediate, but keep the
ruts filled for this season through,
and there will be nc question as to
what you will do next season.
Use a light drag, n that a single
team will pull.
Drag Immediately after each rain.
Drive so the team will straddle the
rut.
Drive in a walk.
Ride the drag, don't walk.
1t is hoped you will meet with a
fair measure of success in maintain
ing a good road surface.
