State Can Get Pointers from Us.

Nv J. W. yARSAGlS. III IOWA Farmer.
The people of the middle west who
arc wrestling with the problem OF
nermanent highways will find it prof
table to study conditions in Lou.
;siana. 1t would hardly seem posi-
ble to get ideas from that al.
legged decrepit old state in the sun
nv south that would pass current in
fhe hustling sections OF the great
corn belt In the middle west. but
such is the case, because Louisiana
is forging to the front as one of the
most enthusiastic permanent road
builders to be found in the United
states, 1t has not voted as a state
+he large sums that New York has
available. neither has it had the
grafters and thieves to contend with
as has that state, but a law prevails
down in that country that permits
parishes-counties we call them here
to vote bonds for permanent road
building, and a number of parishes
have taken advantage of the proyi-
si6ns of the law and have issued
bonds that permanent highways may
be constructed.
While touring that state recently
we were amazed at the vast amount
of work being done in road building.
We were Whirled away in automo-
biIes over miles of the finest kind of
gravel roads In the vicinity of Don
aldsonville, in Ascension parish.
Other parishes in that section are
developing a splendid system of
highways. At New Iberia a stretch
of highway made of asphalt has
been serving as an object lesson for
the past two years. At Crowley,
Jennings and Lake Charles a Wig
orous sentiment prevails for perlna-
nent highways. and Calcasieu par
ish, of which Lake Charles is the
capital, has voted bonds to the
amount of 100000, to which the city
has added 100000. making over one
million dollars TO be expended in
permanent road building. A brick
pavement 8 feet wide and 125 miles
in extent is being constructed, with
strip of gravel four feet wide on
each side. This paving cost about
$4,000 mile complete, including
SfduluS anu DFluSiIS. "ltulu q AZ"
months this parish will have 1875
miles of permanent highway, and al
ready other roads are being pro-
jected.
In Caddo parish. Of which Shreve-
port is the capital, five-mill tax
for five years has been voted and
the permanent highway is being paid
for as the work progresses.
The editor of the Iowa Farmer was
driven some thirty miles over a
completed BIZ section sof this road and
it was perfectly smooth and dustless
or course that country does not have
to take into account freezing and
thaWing as We do here in the
north, but we believe the highway
being constructed in Caddo parish
at $4,000 per mile would be as ser
viceable here as 1t Is there in spite
of the freezing weather.
1t is now quite apparent the next
legislature here in Iowa will make it'll
possible for counties to vote bonds
for permanent road building. and for
this reason We are giving in detail
the system so popular in Louisiana i

Monument To Confederate Dead To Be Erected By Tom Hindman Camp and Citizens of
 Jackson County.

The erection of a handsome monument in memory of our Confederate dead is to be under taken at once, the movement be- ing initiated by Tom Hindman Camp through the suggestion of our townsman, w. E. .Bevens.
 The cost of the proposed mon- ument is $1,500 and while not elaborate or massive, will be a work of art and a constant re- hinder of the heroes who served in the lost cause, many of whom
 sacrificed their lives and all of whom are dear to the hearts of our people.
 The movement has been for mally launched in the resolu- tion adopted below by Tom Hindman Camp and should re- ceive the generous and patriotic support of all our people.
 Newport, Ark, April ', 1914.- At a call meeting by the presi- dent The Tom Hindman Camp, No. SIS, of Newport, Arkansas, the following members were present and the following reso- lution was passed to-wit: "That we, the Tom Hindman Camp, No. SIS of Newport, Arkansas, as old Confederate soldiers are vitally interested in the building of a monument in the Court House yard to the memory of the Confederate dead of Jackson county and as a remnant of these old comrades and friends so close to our hearts, we erect a monu- ment to these noble, brave and true veterans of our noble state and our country,-hence we call upon every member of this camp to contribute literally to this subscription and every member lis urgently asked to see and try to get their friends to help in this last tribute to their mem- ory; and we cannot do this of ourselves, hence we ask all the Sons of Veterans to help us. Also we beg the noble daughters of the U. c. ", who have done so much of this great work and were first to do this work and we beg the good citizens of New port and all of Jackson county to help us pay this last tribute to our dead and ask the business and professional men, mechan- ics and all of our people to help us.

How war reaches into the home, lays wasre the well-ordered fields of hu' man industry and imposes upon wo. men and children the heavy tribute or misery and desolaton is reflected ID letters from Europe just now begin ming to reach this country. ln the chaos of European affairs. America win its peace and uuietude and se- cnrity for life and property appeals to these suffering people as maven of refuge that they too long neglected to seek. To relatives who are here letters in which the note of misery is strong are now coming. A woman l in Budapest writes:
 "Poor people are starving; they
 have no money to buy bread. Peo-
 ple are representing themselves

 lea Everybody cries all day long
 The privation Is horrible, horrible;

 It Is through this welter of trouol that good may finally come; that It lessons may so impress the presen generations, at least, that no furthe wars may come for many years, Tn business of life is no light affair, eve in times of peace.
