MORE INTEREST A N D GREATER CARE BY
 DIRECTORS

CONFIRMING WITH THE TEACHER.
 The board should know how the school is progressing by con- sulting with the teacher. Too often they depend on hearsay and that from children whose whose judgement they would not take in any other matter. To employ a man to care for stock and then depend on boys and girls to tell how well he is doing his work would be regarded as the height of folly. To employ one to care for the highest in- terests of children and then de- pend entirely on what children say as to how well these interests are cared for, is worse than folly.
 The teacher has most diffi- cult task and needs the advice and support of the board. This he can get effectively only at a meeting of the board. Misunder- standings will arise. The teach CT sincerely tries to do what is best. The parents want the best for their children and look to the teacher for it. The chil- dren themselves would rather have a good school than a poor one. All should and would CO., operate did not misunderstand- ings arise. The directors often hear of dissatisfaction before the teacher does. At a meeting of the board and the teacher the matter could be set right. If parents have serious complaints they should be asked to attend the meeting of the board and state their case. In most cases all could be explained and right relations established. No direct

 a Night Prowler

On Wednesday night Officer Tom Kelly got after a night prowler and to keep his bird" from getting away had to wing" him. The bullet passed thro' the leg of the night prowl- CT who was captured and with him a sack of chickens and clothing which he had lifted. " The culprit proved to be a negro preacher by the name of Burks. Officer Kelly reports that the chicken stealing has been going on for some weeks and that the chicken rendor had engaged his fowls to the Rock Island extra gang commissary east of town.
 The clothing belonged to several Brinkley men and had been lifted" from the clothing lines.

or as an individual should give the teacher orders as to what to do Such orders should be given by direction of the board. Of course a director may counsel and advise the teacher, as may anyone who has the welfare of the school in view.
 ILL FEELING BETWEEN MEMBERS
 It sometimes happens that there is i'll feeling between members of the board. What ever the cause. it should not be allowed to effect school business. To allow personal affairs to interfere with a member doing his whole duty is wrong. If a director cannot bring himself to transact the business of the board with another member he should resign.
 Sometimes two members in- tentionally, or thoughtlessly ignore the third member. If a members wishes do not coin- eide with those of the other two he may beoutvoted. but he should not be counted out. He has a right to be heard. To deny him a voice on the board is wrong to the people who elected them as well as him."

ABOUT THE ROAD TAX

THE September election is only a few weeks off and the people will have an opportunity of saying whether we will or will not have another road tax to pay just for the fun of paying out money.
 The work of throwing up a lot of loose earth on the roads and calling it a wise expenditure of road funds may appeal to some people as no doubt it will but it is a farce to call it road building.
 Only two years ago the Coun- ty Judge caused the same military road between Brinkley and Clarendon to he worked just as it is being done now, only
 
 perhaps a little better. When the grading was done it was even better and prettier than the play pretty road Judge Trice is now working on south of Brinkley. Of course it re- mained pretty until the fall rains set in-the very time we needed a real road and THEN it became loblolly of mud holes that would stall team of butterhys with a feather chariot. In other words this play pretty" road was far worse than it had ever been before.
 Just so it is going to be with the work Judge Trice is doing now on this same road, and so it will be with all such work.
 Just so long as the road tax is voted in Monroe County as 1t has been. just so long will the farmers be imposed upon by this more than foolish plan and for that reason the ARGUS editor opposes the voting of the road tax in September.
 In Jackson County to thenorth of us, in Lonoke and Prairie to the west of us, Crittenden to the east of us, they are awake to the fact that REAL roads can not be secured any other way than paying for them and they have voted to build permanent roads and build them in busi- ness way.
 The very day Monroe County stops her foolish plan and votes down the road tax there will be some chance of getting real roads.

however, is the increase shown in the quantity of the dairy products. In 1909 these amount ed to 1l4.9l5 pounds. in 1911 to 273, OPS pounds, an increase of practically l40 percent in two years. In the same time ship ments of wheat had increased 59 percent, tobacco 3l percent and lumber and other forest products AS percent.
 In addition to this increase in quantity the cost of hauling each ton of produce was materially reduced. In other words, the farmers not only produce more, but produce more cheaply, for the cost of transportation to market is of course an important factor in the cost of production. From this point of view, it is estimated that the Sl00, 900 spent in improving the roads in Spotsylvania County saved the farmers of that county $41, 900 a year.
 In the past two years the traffic studies of the Federal experts show that approximately an average of 65, 900 tons of out going products were hauled over the improved roads in the coun- ty an average distance of 8 miles, or total of 520, GOO ton miles" Before the roads were improved it was estimated that the aver age cost of hauling was 20 cents a "ton-mile," after the improve ment this fell to 12 cents a 'ton-mile, or a saving of 8 cents. A saving of 8 cents per mile on 520,0O0 "ton-miles" is $41. 900 a year. The county's investment of $1O0, 900 in other words returns dividend of 40 percent annually.
 Because this saving. in cases of this character, does not take the form of cash put directly into the farmers pocket there is a widespread tendency to be- lieve that it is fictitious profit, while as matter of fact it is just as real source of profit as an increase in the price of wheat. i, In Dinwiddie County, Va, for example. where peanuts are one of the staple crops. the average load for two mules on a main road was about ,O00 pounds be- fore the road was improved. After its improvement the aver age load was found to be 2,OOC pounds, and the time consumed in hauling the larger load tc market was much reduced. In
 other words, one man with 8
 wagon and two mules could dc
 more than twice as much work
 with the improved road than
 with an unimproved road. This
 is the explanation of the extra
 ordinary rise in the total output
 of agricultural products in g county with good road system.

IF the farmers of Arkansas are expecting to use horses and mules in cultivating crop next year it would be a common sense move for them to plant fall oats for feed; for from present pros poets the 'silveritis" is liable to attack all horses and mules which are fed on corn next year.

GOVERNMENT STUDIES SHOW

 OUTPUT OF A COUNTY
 DEPENDS UPON ISS
 HIGHWAYS
 That an improved road will in- crease vastly the productiveness of the area through which it runs has now been satisfactorily demonstrated by studies con- ducted by the United States De- partment of Agriculture in in Virginia. Conditions in County were in- vestigated with particular care. and the results have proved surprising. In 1909 the county voted $100,000 to improve 40 miles of road. Two years after the completion of this work the railroad took away in 12 months from Fredericksburg, the county seat, Fl, 900 tons of agricultural and forest products hauled over the highways to that town. Before the improvement of the roads this total was only 49, GOO tons annually; in other words. the quantity of the county's produce has risen more than 4E percent. Still more interesting,

Important To Monroe
 County Farmers
Editor Argus:

Editor Argus:
 Why pay 5Oc. per bushel for oats to feed your mules when there are thousands of acres of idle land tributary to the town of Brinkley, any of which will produce fifty bushels of winter oats per acre With the good rains, the land is now in fine condition for blowing. Every landlord as well as every tenant should realize the importance of sowing sufficient oats during the month of September to harvest next spring sufficient oats for the years feed.
 For the many thousands of dollars that are sent out of this, the Brinkley territory. annually to other states to pay for oats, to feed the mules, to produce the cotton, if kept here in this locality, would alone soon make the tenants and landlords bank accounts grow to an enormous sum.
 Other sections of Arkansas have become awake to the propo- sition of producing both hay and oats for home consumption. When will the farmers in the Brinkley territory avail them selves of the opportunity that nature has given them.
