thus briefly described by our most

TWO ROUTES SUGGESTED

Way.
BY w. n. Carter.

Many worthy enterprise has come
to grief and ultimate ruin because OF
a mistake made early in its promotion.
1.-THE taking of the word Jackson
away from the Highway with which
it has been associated for nearly a
hundred years, both in the minds of
the people and in the government rec
ords, would be mistake that would
very probably lead to the ruin OF
the project. If national aid is secur-
ed for the Jackson Highway, it must
be because it is the Jackson Highway,
for the representatives of people liv-
ing in sections of the United States
remote from the highway will not
have any interest in the feeling of the
people along the route of the high
way, and their interest in the highway
can be enlisted only because it is the
Jackson Highway.
Senator John Sharp Williams in a
recent letter to DIR. Logan w. Page,
director of public roads, used this
statement: "Of course, calling the
highway the Jackson Highway, unless
it really is the historical Jackson Mil,
itary Highway, is in a sense securing
support and contenance for project
under false pretenses. 1t follows,
therefore, that If some other route
than the historical Jackson Military
Highway is selected. it ought to be
called by another name and that the
tender historical association senti
ment of the Jackson Highway should
not to used to do something under a
false appellation."
In the year following the battle Of
New Orleans, jackson recommended
to the War Department that such a
road as the Jackson Military Highwsy
be built, and it is evident that his
realization of the necessity for the
military protection of New Orleans
and all the intervening territory be-
tween New Orleans and Nashville
prompted the recommendation Con-
gress made the first appropriation for
the road in April, 1916. and the work
of building the road was begun by
Jackson's soldiers in May, 1917. 1t is
clear that it would be much easier
matter to induce the United States
Congress to make an appropriation for
a road it has already made appropria-
tionsfQr than it would be to secure an
'app| b for new project. For

Arkansas Farmers Use Serum.

Williams Bros, of Diaz. and s. L.. Bleakley of Auvergne, progressive far mers, are setting an example to Jack son County. They have ordered large shipments of serum from the Serum Plant at Little Rock. They adminis- tered the simultaneous treatment and have not lost hog yet. David Thi- bault, county agricultural agent of Jackson County, in report to Dean !. H. Miller of the Extension Division of the University of Arkansas said that these two large orders from two rep resentative farmers, has served as a stimulus to other hog raisers of Jack son County to use anti-hog cholera se- rum as a preventative against hog cholera The serum may be obtained from the State Serum plant at Little Rock by writing Dr. R. M. Cow, State Veterinarian, Old State House, Little Rock. The serum may be bought for one and one-half cents per cubic cen timeter. A few cents invested in this way may save you many dollars.
