What do the girls think of the man
who cannot speak up? Do they not
still prefer to be taken by storm, to
near hot words Of love ringing in their

straightforwardly for heart and hand?
DO they not insist as never before that
faint heart ne'er won fair lady? We
read between the lines of Roman his

promptly recovered from the initial
shock of being carried off, and it Is
not on record that any of them tried
to escape from the happy bondage to
which they were consigned. Are the
women of today and different? We
doubt it.
1t is admitted on all sides that the
woman of today is the stronger vessel
that more than ever is she more
deadly than the male. For that very

which are SO far from the travelled

VI the roadway where the wagons
travel is called the travelled way To
prevent water from standing on the

IN the center and should slope gently
INTO broad, shallow bitches. 1t is then
sald TO have a crown. fit is ten feet
from the center OF the road To the side
oltch, the surface at the side ditch
should De at least ten inches lower than
II Is at the center where the horses
travel. The road then has a ten-inch
crown. The rain that falls ON a road
properly crowned will run quickly to
the side and not soak into the surface
or form pools. The side bitches for
surface water should run parallel TO
the right Of way, and should be open
at every low point 80 that the water
can run out OF them into neighboring
brooks or streams. II the bitches
merely collect the water from the road
surface and 1t cannot run away. large
pools will be formed along the road
side, which will gradually soak into
the soil beneath the road and make II
SO soft that the wheels OF wagons will
cut through the road surface and soon
destroy 1t.
Sometimes water runs from land
along the road into the road, and
forms a little stream down the wheel
tracks or in the middle, where the
horses travel. When driveways into
farm yards are built across the side
bitches they frequently form channels
for water from the farm yard to run
into the road. The pipes under drive
ways become filed with leaves or rub
Dish and the water can no longer run
away. II the driveways that stop the
ditch water were rebuilt 30 that no
pipes were necessary and the ditch
could be left open. much trouble from
surface water would be stopped

together with braces set in holes bored
through the log. A pair of horses may
be used to drag the road, and are
hitched to a chain fastened to the front
half of the log. The road drag should
move forward so that 1t slants across
the road in such way that small
amount Of earth will slide past the
smooth face Of the log toward the CEN

smooth out the ruts. The best way TO
drag is TO begin ct the side ditch and
go up one side OF the road, and then
down the other. In the next trip the
drag should be started little nearer
the center. and the last trip over the
road the drag may work close to the
center itself. Small ridges OF earth
will be thrown in the horse track and
smeared b. the round side OF the log
smoothly over the road. Smearing the
earth by the drag is called pudding.
and il tends to make the surface OF the
road smooth and water tight after the
sun comes out. The road is always
dragged after II has rained. and not
when 1t is dry. A good. strong pair OF
horses with a welLbuilt drag can drag
three or four miles OF road in day.
and IT is the best way TO maintain good
roads. In every county some farmer
along each four miles OF road should
own a drag and drag the road when II
rains, and he would always md the
road in good condition when he goes

No Fireworks Will Be Al. lowed in Business Section This Christmas.

Mayor Simon Bloom yesterday is- sued his proclamation, announcing that the discharge of fireworks in the business section of the city twill not be allowed during the celebra- tion of the Christmas holidays in Pine Bluff.
 By taking this position this year, as he did last season, Mayor Bloom reiterates his stand for Safety First" and business men generally will fap- prove his action in the matter. 4
 Unusually large quantities of cot ton are stored in warehouses and streets of Pine Bluff this year, and a stray spark might easily start a con- f!agration which would result in vas: financial loss Mayor Bloom decided upon the approach of the holiday season that the proclamation last year was so beneficial in its results. that he would issue the same sort of proclamation this year. Y
 The proclamation states that the discharge of fireworks of whatever kind in the business section of the city will be looked upon as viola tion of the law, and all persons guilty of violating the terms of the procla- nation will be haled into the police court, for trial and punishment.
