6 What it Means to MOn- U roe County Farne rs

That one little word IF is the Key which will unlock the damned door of business de- precision in the entire north end of Monroe county.
 IF the North End Road Dis trict which is being formed goes thro' and it is voted by the people to issue bonds and build rock roads out of Brinkley to the north, east. south and west, the next two years will see more money paid out to the farmers of the north end than was ever known in the history of the county. The roads will have to be built just as the railroads are, according to the civil engineers specifications a n d there is no one who can do this work, compete with the farmers who can get good money for work and use of their teams in hauling rocks, etc. in the build- ing of the roads.
 In Lonoke county where more than a half million dollars has been spent in the building of these same roads, the greatest part of the money has gone to the farmers along the roads for services as above outlined.
 So IF the farmers of the north end, say they want roads we will have roads and the farmers themselves will get practically the greater part of the money they will cost after the rock is paid for.
 So IF we of the north end tell good bye to dull times, its prac- tically up to the farmers.

Berlin, July so.-7A despatch from Athens, Greece, to the Overseas News Agency, says:

 ''The attempts to storm the rocky, steep heights on the Asiatic side of the straits were termed by the officer as simply insanity. Turkish machine guns directed by German officers moved down the stornning ranks. The Turks, led by Germans, fought with greater fury.

Churchgoers who follow the service in their prayer books would certainly miss the "dear old phrase" concerning ''quires and places where they sing, 7 and in time the old fashidped ''quires / may be made new fashioned again by the coming of rationalized spelling. Choir was a most unnecessary out rage upon. the language. The old Eng fish 'quer" or s.quere'' became quite naturally 'fquyer'' or ''quire.r and so it remained until the end of the seven teenth century. when somebody seems to have introduced .'choir.' because it looked more like the French "choeur,' '' as if that were q valid reason.

His Vivid Imagination Once Nearly
 Got CoIenidse In Trouble.
 From his early youth Coleridge lived his favorite walk seems to have been the Strand, the last place in the world for poet to lose himself in reyerie. As he strolled down the street he im- agined himself swimming the Helles- pont, the feat of which other poets had written and which the poet Byron was to accomplish later. Once while the mind of Coleridge was thus far from the busy Strand he absently. thrust his hands before him in the manner of one swimming. Suddenly one hand came in contact with a gem tIemans pocket.
 The gentleman, thinking to capture a thief, seized the hand and exclaimed:
 ssWhati So young and so wicked.'' He accused the poor. poetic boy of an attempt at pocket E@ ckfng.
 With some fright and a few tears the boy explained. and we can inag inc that words did not fail him who ysas to become the most brilliant talk CT of his age The gentleman was de- lighted Mfth Goferidgess imagination, which could turn the5strand into the Hellespont The intelligence of the young Lteander made the stranger in. qutre into sColeridg gess tastes, and when he found the boy liked books he open ed for him a subscription at the circu- Iafing library in Cheapside.

 Go. Negotiates New
 Agreement With HelE

|
 New York, July 3O-The Interna- tionaI Paper Go, through John Lind ragan, industrial superintendent of the company, has negotiated new working agreement with the paper makers and pulpn1a.kers which trades embrace 95 per cent of the $500 en- pIoyes in the 31 mills operated by that concern. The new agreement supercedes an old one which provid- ed for arbitration of all disputes be- tween the company and it's employes, Officials of the International -Asso- citation of Machinists said the new agreement would have no effect on their demands for an eight-hour working day.
 Seven thousand employees in the mills of the Alexander Smith & Sons Carpet Co. in Yonkers were noti1eo. today of an 10 per cent. increase in wages.
 J. J. KeppIer, in Bridgeport today commenting upon published reports that the machin5sts had asked for an increase of 20 per cent. in wages, said that such a demand had never been made. We are simply seeking the eight-hour day instead of the nine hour day. The 20 per cent. increase has not entered into the matter" he said.
