the Germans could not follow US, and

well. to blow up a bridge we use
gun-cotton and a wire fuse. II is safe
enough II you take your wire well
away, but this time 1t would not work.
Our men in running back had stepped
on the wire, and so we had to go near
er to the bridge and try again. Even
then 1t would not act, SO the officer
said to me: Get out of the way, Wells

were the only two on the bridge and

MALARIAL ExAMINTlON
Dr. von Ezdorf of the U. s. Public Health Ser vice, Says Our City
 Above Average

Dr. von Ezdorf, of the U. s. Health Service and his corps of assistants completed the malarial examination of this section last Monday. Both the malarial and the yellow fever mosquito were found in our city and Dr. von Ezdorf said that all that was needed for an extensive epidem- ic of yellow fever was a case through which the these mo- squitoes might become infected. He urged our citizens to do every thing possible to eradicate them.
 Much good has already been done in this direction by the city under the control of Dr. E. D. Nc Knight city health officer, who reports that more than 700 wagon loads of cans, rubbish, etc., has been hauled away during the summer by the city. Dr. von Ezdorf found con- ditions in a sanitary way here much above the average.
 A blood test of more than 300 persons was taken by the assitants of -Dr. von Ezdorf, a report on which will be made within a few weeks.

 Here's signal from the Illi- nois side. They are signaling the steamer to put in' or make the landing. The whistles answer that we are to heed the signal and so it goes all the time something to see and to take your attention and make you wonder what next. Just enjoyed the novelty of seeing a big six cylinder touring auto and a Ford slid down the high. steep banks. and loaded on the boat. The two cars have seven or eight tourists who have been out on an overland trip and are taking ad- vantage of the easiest and best way to go to St. Louis. A big tow line is attached to the rear axle of the big Locomobile tour ing car and thirty roustabouts stand on top of the bluff and swing on to the tow line to keep the big car from going into the river. Down it comes and the owner sits in the car feeling sure of the rope and the rousters. Everything goes we'll -but look quick! the rope breaks and but L. the abufunent of the stage plank 1t would have gone into the river. Aftera lot of troubla they get the cars abodIlf and tls boat pulls out again for the tzfp up the river.
 Thus it is every hour of the trip something to interest and entertain. Our party of Brink leyites are having a most enjov- able outing in every way. Some of the young people on the boat are dancing the tango, some singing choruses. some reading, some spooning. The young man of our party, Eugene Woodfin, is quite popular in all of their par ties. sports and spoons. He leaves the party at St. Louis and goes to Fayetteville to re-enter the University.

TRACTOR RUINS ROADS
So Say Farmers of Keevil TOwnship---Petition County Judge to
 Stop It
Keevil. Ark. Sept. 8, 1914.

Keevil. Ark. Sept. 8, 1914. Editor ARGUS:
 l do not care to take up any of your space telling of one month the Judge paid lawyers to draw up orders calling in script or for anything else. But do want to say that think the time is now come for the tax payers to stop the present system of working roads else one or two years from now will find our roads in about the same condition as at present. The tractor to date has been over about nine miles of road, much of which would have been better untouched. At this rate about 60 to 70 miles may be trayersed by it in twelve months provided it does not wear out. A tractor of the right sort is the very thing to build roads with but Monroe County hasn't got that kind. Tc show what some people along this work think of of it Il am handing you a copy Uf 3 petition that will show the - Jtlment of many and there
 tl be no doubt the road tax U III geta esblack eye" here for the first time in its life.
 What say you tax payers over the 2 county to let's stop it and take the road work from the County Judges office and build some roads we can travel over. Consider the conditions of the roads today and the way this years tax has been expended and see then if you want it continu- ed.
 Yours for better roads and against the tax.
