taxpayer in Cleburne. county, is m favor of the construction of a hrst-class road between Quitman and Heber Springss in fact, we believe Cleburne county should have a frst-class north and south road entirely across the county, and we are willing to bear our share of the expense of such a road.
 If you think the proposition IS a good one, won't you kindly advise me and we will lay some plans and start a movement for the construction of such a road by the Improvement District form as provided for in the Alex ander Bill"

THE OTHER FELLOWS PLACE

In dealing with our fellowmen, let's observe the golden rule taught to us from infancy from the Bible, church and school; don't let the froWn of anger set tie on your face until you've had a vision from the other fellows s place.
 When we are demanding that things be done our way, let's get different viewpoint and see what we would say; if we're trying to get advantage of some one in a race, set's stop a minute, change positions-get in some other fellows place.
 Let's do unto others as we'd want them to do-that's the route for happiness to come to me and you; let's be very careful as we run life's race at it's close we might be wishing for the other fellows S place.

LET US MAZE THIS A GOOD
 LOOKING TOWN

If every man who reads this and every woman, too-Would
 make it his or her business, the
 next hour he or she has, to look around the home premises and see how they could be fixed up to look better it would be a great thing for this town. It might not induce people to do any more than rake up the sticks that are laying around. That would be a great help alone. But maybe while raking up the loose leaves you will fnee there is a loose board in the side walk, a broken picket in the fence, that the cor
 ner of the porch has sagged or that the front steps need a new plank in them. And as you want to make complete job of it, you would see that these re- pairs are made. Maybe the house has needed a new coat of paint for a long time. Perhaps
 new curtains are needed at the
 front windows. And the inside
 of the house is quite as important as the outside-is more important for it is .on the inside you live and where visitors get their real impression of you and of the town. Maybe before you get through, if you will really look about you, there will be several things that can be made to look vastly better with the aid of a few boards or nails or a little varnish or a small expenditure of money. Collectively the effect on this town will be great.
 There is no economy in letting things run down and putting re- pairs off. A house that needs repairs is going down hill; and
 a house that is going down hill is losing value, value both in money and comfort. Let's make this a better looking town; and let's begin, like charity, at home.

bank to insist upon the same promptness on the part of those owing it as depositors expect from the bank in discharging its obligation toward them.
 A bank may loan it's funds legitimately only to those who carefully guard their credit, and the only way in which this can be done is for everyone to pay or renew his obligations on or before the day they fall due.
 One of the chief functions of a bank is making loans, and in do- ing so 1t naturally favors those who have always met their obli- gatlons with 1t in the.past.
 The bank examiner carefully examines several times a year a of the notes held by the banks. This is done for your security and it reflects on the standing of the bank and bor- rover alike when notes are not met promptly when due.
 By making payments promptly when due you will aid the bank in conducting it's business in con- formity with the law, and will insure your credit so that it can accommodate you readily in the future.

CT than the man for he is stronger than the man. And yet we are not far removed from the time when the common idea prevailed that the hardest-working man in the community was the best farmer, and book farming was ridiculed and held in contempt. We must always do a job of work in our minds before we do it with our hands, and it is effici- ently done just in proportion as it had been efficiently worked out in the mind"

ALL RURAL ROUTE
 PETITIONS GRANTED
PoST-oFFIcE DEPARTMENT NOW WILL TAKE INITIATIVE IN EX-
 TENDING THE SERVICE.

Washington, D. C., May g. Every petition pending on the Post Office Department for the establishment of rural delivery service has now been approved b y t h e Postmaster General. Orders have been issued which will put all this new service into operation during the present fsi- cal year. As the next step to- wards the expansion of the post al service on terms of equality throughout the United States, the Postmaster General has di- rected his fourth assistant who has charge of rural delivery ser vice, to provide for the extension of delivery to all patrons reason ably entitled to it, regardless of whether or not a petition for the service is on file in the depart ment.
 This introduces a new policy in the administration of postal af- fairs. The department will move for the extension of postal facili- ties and not wait for requests. Investigations will be made to ascertain the localities where the establishment of new routes or the extension of old ones is just flied.
 To this end postmasters in localities where it appears pre- sent service is not adequate will be instructed to make detailed reports to the Postmaster Gen eral as to whether the establish ment of new rural routes in their vicinity would be desirable. These postmasters will be expect ed to furnish information as to how the existing service can be enlarged to meet the require ments of all prospective patrons.
 There has been quite a lot of talk conserning the changes of the routes out of here since the inspector was here and had give notice of changes that would pro- bably take place, and change the routes that many who are now getting service would be cut out, we have information now that these changes will not take place but all routes will remain the same as they are now which is very satisfactory to all conserned and for the holding of our routes without any changes we are much indebted to Hon. J. N. Tillman for services rendered conserning same.

Hard work in the fields alone has never made a successful farmer. It is only well directed energy that produces best re- suits. If the exertion of physical power alone were all that is re- quired to make a good farmer the mule would be a better farm

Bear in mind that the stable is the horses home. Try to make it, comforta ble for him. At least have it as cool as possible in summer. 1 have seen horses taken from their stables in summer that were as wet with sweat as if they had been dipped in a pool. This is wrong.

DENVERlTES MEMORY
 PUZZLES SCIENTISTS
CLEO CHESTER SMITH OWNER OF MARVELLOUS STORE
 OF kNOWLE0GE

Denver, Colorado, probably has produced the man with the most wonderful memory in the world. Cleo Chester Smith, 26 years old, is literally a walking encyclo- pedia, according to Dr. Duren J. H. Ward, who writes of the prodigy in the May American magazine. Smith can answer offhand questions about the popu- lation of all cities, counties and states in the United States, the length of rivers, height of mount aims and all other geographical and industrial data.
 "The difference between Smith and other people is that he re- members things" Dr. Ward writes. He not merely reads books, but, if they are full of facts and dates, he keeps these all with him after he puts the books up. The driest pages of statistics are to him juicy with interest. The United St "a t e S Census Reports are more eXcit- ing than Cooper's novels. And he stands the severest tests.
 As anthropologist and psyche logist, the writer has examined him with some care. To illustrate a lecture on memory before the Colorado New Psycho- logogy society, 1 lately brought him before 150 well informed people of the Denver public library. He was subjected to a rapid fire of questions from the audience for three-quarters of an hour. These interrogations asked for the population (down to the smallest detaiD of any state, county or city in the United States, of any country or city in the world, the area of any country. the length of any river, the height of any mountain, the date of any states admission to the union, the dates of any pres idents term of office, the present governor of any state, the for eign, native and race population of any state or city in the nation, the number and kinds of manu- factures in any city anywhere, and anything and everything of current, geographicalor historical interest.
 He astounded and captivated the audience by instantaneous replies to such questions as: How many Chinese in the United States?' How many in Seattle?' Who is the governor of New Hampshire?' Where is Helsingfors and what popu- lation?' Exact population of Glen Falls, New York?'
 "Only once, amid several hun dred haphazard posers, did he fail to respond instantly, and that was to the all-important question, Who is the governor of North Carolina?'
 In 1912, under the advice of a moving picture operator in Denver, he began the systematic study of statistics and, under the stimulating assurance that this would bring him a good position, he learned in two months the population of all counties in the United States and of all towns having more than 1000 inhabi- tants.
 From this he branched to rivers, mountains, manufactures, etc. His value to the world is yet awaiting opportunity. What a chance for psychology or peda- gogy to learn what bounds a human mind can covern'

cood road construction is not
 p,elv a convenience; it is a
 c;ness investment. No single
 ctor works so effectively toward
 Q industrial and commercial
 eatness of a community or a

 good roads.
 It is especially interesting to
 te that the necessity of good
 ad construction has impressed
 elf upon the railroads of the
 untry. They are rapidly be-
 ming enthusiastic boosters of
 Ddern highways; so much so,
 fact, that one of the trunk
 e railroads of Arkansas has
 ken the initiative in the plans
 the formation of a road im-
 ovement district under the
 exander law, in Cleb urn e
 unty.
 This road is the Missouri & brth Arkansas, and it's attitude
 t only justifes commendation
 It demonstrates at once the
 bad constructive policy of the bnageme nj of the road. It bo puts to scorn the small tax Eer who hedges and growls
 but the cost of good roads. Pre is a railroad company, the kgest taxpayer in Cleburne |hnty, coming forward and
 tually begging for an oppor- nity to help pay the expenses
 constructing a modern road tirely across the county north Id south.
 And yet, in the final analysis, e action of a railroad company
 purely a business proposition. De establishment of good roads bans the elimination of dis hces, locally and so far as the |pducer and the market is con- med, and this in turn, invites Id encourages the rapid develop ent of the county adjacent to ch roads and attracts a thrifty Rss of farmers and tradesmen. Rls creates an enlarged volume business for the railroads. l d that's the whole story so far the railroad is concerned. De profit to the railroad com my is purely indirect; to the |ople of the community it is a rect profit, increased land |lues and avenues to market, well as community pride and neral conveniences. Surely, |the railroads of the state can E the wisdom of good roads, E property-owners and pro- gers who will reap the princi-
