Republican Papers Admit that the
Country is Prosperous.

Placing orders for over $2O,OVV IN
advertising for December, John n.
Patterson of the National Cash Regis
ter company at Dayton, Ohio, told the
convention of statesmen for his enter
prise to take the message to storekeep-
ers in their territory that now is the
time to advertise and for them to join
in the forward prosperity which has
already started. Report were given by
the 500 representatives present that
there was general improvement in
business conditions.
On the basis of these reports Mr..
Patterson predicted that the approach
ing era of prosperity would probably
exceed anything this country has ever
known.
AS a preface to his remarks he re-
viewed the business depression Of the
previous two years. This. he said, had
affected all lines agriculture, mining,
industry, commerce and finance.
..Now," he continued, ''the boom is
en-. Agricultural interests are the first
to feel it. The farmers have record
breaking crops, with a big demand.
Confidence has been re-established.
Various industries have picked their
stores and are supplying the raw ma
terial to work into finished products,
and factory wheels begin to move.
Then commerce and transportation re-
flected the change. Finally 1t was
manifest in the financial world. We
have plenty of money and the best
banking system in the world today.
1--WE have three big federal organic
atoms taking care of these various in
terests: First, the Interstate Commerce
Commission; then came the Federal
Trade Commission, and, finally, the
Federal Reserve Board, with its chain
of reserve banks. The value of these
three boards or commissions to the
country cannot be estimated.
Through the aid Of the reserve banks,
the various banking institutions Of the
country began to loan money where
people could not get it before. Now,
with big crops and big demands, with
little foreign competition, we are at
the commencement Of an era OF pros
perity such as this country has never
seen before.
IAN this great prosperity cannot
come in . day. It will take time. But
conditions everywhere are improving.
The farmers are prosperous. The
mills of Pittsburgh are buster than
ever before. Railroad stocks are go
ing up. 1t is only question OF a short
time before the wave of prosperity will
be upon u.s."
Liberal advertising was urged in all
lines that the wave of prosperity may
be thoroughly exploited and .communl-
ties become aroused to conditions as
they are at the present time. All lead
ing manufacturing institutions are ap-
propriating larger sums for advertis-
ing than ever before. If local dealers
and merchants will cooperate in this
movement to drive out the depression
which has clouded the atmosphere for
30 many months there will be the big
gest revival in business this country
ever known, is the opinion of this mas
ter mind of the great industrial insti-
tuition who deals with practically every
business concern in America. Mason

INSANE MAN
 KILLS NEIGHBOR

Thursday morning about S:30 Bar ney Bell, who lives near Robinson, killed an old man by the name Of Gibson while on his way home, by cutting his throat with a pocket-knffe.
 Mr Bell has for years been an in fidel, but during revival services at Robinson last week was converted and joined the church. Since then he has been acting very queer, and whenever he would be in a group of men would begin preaching. MT. Gibson, with two boys had been to Robinson and had started home. On seeing Bell coming down the road th2 boys remarked that they had better cut through the field. Gibson said that he had known him all his life and was not afraid of him. He walked up and joined Bell. The boys could not hear the conversation, but saw Gibson pick Up rock and hit Bell on the side of the face, thinking he could save himself. He s-ooped for another rock ard while in d stopping position, Bell jumped at him with an open knife, cutting the jusuiar vein. He then jumped en the body on his knees and stayed there until the boys ran to town to give the alarm. When Geo. Osborn came up and urged Bell to come with him. He took him on to town and | number of men stayed with him until Sheriff Blake sent Deputy Sid Jackson after him, and brought him te the jail iii Bentonyile.
 When he was seen by Sheriff Blake this morning he asked Why am I in jail?"
 Mr. Bells wife will be remem- bered by her many BentonvilIe friends as Miss Cora Maxwell.
 About ten years ago the whole com munity. was shocked by the suicide of her sister, Miss Mamie Maxwell, most worthy young lady.
 Mr. Bell is son of prominent Fort Smith man, Dr. Bell.-Benton- vile Sun.

CONVICT ROAD
 WORK IN STATES
Recent Reports All Go to Show
 Success Of System.
FINE HIGHWAYS BUILT.

Continuance of Convict Road Work In
 Most of the States Will Depend on
 Its Economic Value-This Is Being
 Proved by What Has Been Done In
 Several States.
 Does convict road work pay? The continuance of the work i'll most of the states depends on it's economic value. The national committee on prisons and prison labor has been in vestigating this side of the convict road question and has received an encouraging report from A. D. Will liayas, chief road engineer of the state of West Virginia.
 The report covers the work at Dana, K2nawha county. and has been con dueted under the supervision of II. r. Walsh for period of ten months, half of which WAS through the win ter. From November, 1914, 10 June, 1915, the measured quantities on the Madden road constructed by the con yicts from the Dana camp were:
 a07 cubic yards rubble masonry in ee- ment
 115 cubic yards rubb'e masonry in dry.
 545 cubic yards re=enforced concrete.
 % linear feet tWenty-four re-enforced vitrficd pipe.
 22o line4r feet eighteen re-enforced yit- rified pipe.
 los linear feet twelve re-enforeed vitri- fed pipe
 se5 cubic yards foundation excavation.
 222.3S6 cubic yards unclassified excavation.
 The total cost of this work amount cd to $11.5s992 while the lowest of four bids received from private con tractors for this same work amounted to $15,41S.e5, CT $3.S19.13 more than the work actually cost when con structed by the prisoners. Twenty-Five per cent of the total cost of the work was, therefore saved by the nse of the prisoners.
 The success in this work Is pointed out by the committee to be due to the fact that the men in charge were efficient and desirous of success, and

P PERMANENT ROADS IN
 WASHINGTON COUNTY
HOW TO GET THEM"

yersfty located in Fayetteville. have never yet seen a man who would sell it back. We got our beau ti.g eoart house the same way. Nobody fs worrying about how muef he paid for the court house. but all are prou4 to have it. It is the same way with our bridges, we raised the money by taxation to build these bridges.
 Now the people have made up their minds that the only way We can have roads and roads that We can =use. every day ill the year, is 10 buy them and pay for them, and then keep them up. There is no question but what a good rock road is cheaper to keep up if i is finish ed in good shape to begin with. One county in Missouri is arranging to issue bonds for $2,50o,0o0 and spend 1t all on the roads in that county. At first thought that looks like spending lots of money and that the people would feel it. =As a m&t= ter of fat, however. when you stop and think that the money all stays right in the county, and $ spent right along the road, you can readily see tha. it will make times better rather than worse. With the road material right at the read like 1t is in Washington county, the money will all be spent for labor, except for, such bridges and culverts as will be needed. There is no reason why farmer living along a road built un- der the Alexander Law shouldn't be able to earn enough money while the road is being built to pay his entire assessment, by working with himself and team on the construction of the road. In addition to this work he will have ready market for such produce as he can furnish to the workmen while they are near his place.

De,afness Cannot Be Cured

By local applications, as they can not reach the deceased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutions al remedies Deafness is caused by an infIamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deal ness is the result, and unless the ill., flamation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in- flamed condition of the mucous sur faces.

 A hundred and nineteen miles of road were completed during 1911 by Montana state prisoners. many miles of which were through rough and hilly country where the work was very diff cult Warden Gonley of the states prison says that the prison labor is worth $3 day to the state, as it equals free labor. which receives that wage. No wage is paid the prisoner, however, and his total cost to the state is only GO cents per day. For this req son the warden urges that the state allow him wage from its profits, which could in many cases be used to support prisoners dependent family.
 Colorado Springs and Canyon City highway and the Ute pass section of the Pikes peak ocean to ocean road recently completed by Colorado's sys- tenn of convict labor, are two of the most perfect mountain roads in the United States
 The Ute pass road follows the ancient trail of the Indians across the Rocky mountains. In the last few years that part of 1t between Colorado Springs and Cascade has been entirely recon structed by convicts.
 Jnder the Colorado system the con vict has ten days taken off his sentence for each month of labor on the roads. This is in addition to the usual reduc- ton for good behavior.

The good roads idea seems to be in the minds Of the people stronger than eyer It isn't so much getting mud hole filled up, nowadays, as 1t is to get q good permanent road. One that an be used every day in the year, instead Of a few months in the summer and fall. Appeals have been made To to the peoples pride and this has helped in spots. Now and again i'll travelling over the coun try a mile or two Of good road will be found, and that speaks well for the neighborhood where it is. but the people are not satisfied with such a haphazard system, and, in several sections of this and adjoin- ing states movements are on foot 10 secure roads that start somewhere and go somewhere. are kept in FfRsT-CLAsS condition and can be used and traYeled the year round. Where there are railroads, men who have money can go where they please. Where there are good wa gon roads men can go where they please whether they have money or not.
 There is all idea in the minds of q great many people that sometime, somehow. somebody will build road in their neighborhood which will cost the people nothing A great many cotton-mouthed politicians, who think more of getting an office than they do of telling the truth, lead the people to believe that good roads can be had with little or no cost to them
 Horace Greedy once said, "The darkest moment in any mans life is that moment in which he makes up his mind that he can get some thing for nothing " That moment has caused many bank cashier to go to the penitentiary.
 It has made many a man lose his
  has ruined the lives of thousands of both young and old men. That same idea has held many a town and com munity back, and has caused the boys and girls to want to eiave the farm and small towns and go 10 the cities.
 The only things that make one place a better place to live in than some others. is the satisfaction that c1n be gained from the surroundings. Northwest Arkansas has always en- ioyed good schools. The thing that has pulled her public schools up to where they are is the location of the State University in her midst. Now the State University wasn't be- cause it is centrally situated. There are other and larger towns that are more centrally situated and whose citizens would be glad to have the State s greatest institution.
 Fayetteville got the University be cause she bought and paid for it. The University was passed out to the county and town which would pay the most for it. Washington coun- ty, even back in the seventies. had good schools and an intelligent pop ulation. and her people realized what such an institution would mean to them. In order to raise the money they had to bond the county and town. At the tine this was being done there were men in Washington county and in Fayetteville, who fought the movement. They couldn't sec sh2t the people would ever get their moneys worth. They said it wasn't right to put the tax on them when they didn't Wart it. But the better judgment prevailed and we got the University. I doubt if there is a man in the city or the county, who knows how much he paid toward getting the State Uni

COUNCIL WILL
Be PRESENTED
WITH PETITION
TAXPAYERS TO ASK CITY
SOLONS TO TAKE OVER
THE WHITE WAY AND OP-
ERATE 1T IN FUTURE.

The Brunswick White Way Associa.
tlon held a meeting at the office of
II. M. King, Jr.. yesterday morning
for the purpose of again taking IN the
question of turning on the lights"
and to decide definitely lust what is
to be done. Most of the directors of
the association were present, and the
matter was fully gone into. The re-
suit of the meeting was that four
committees were named to go out
with petitions calling upon city coun-
Gil to take over the white way. 1t is
the intention of the association to Sc
cure to these petitions the names of
large majority of the taxpayers of
Brunswick and the petitions will be
presented to council at its next meet
ing
The following committees to cover
the entire city, were named:
Newcastle street from G to Han
over park-Constant Miller, l.. II.
Haym.
From F stret to terminals-W. H..
Wood, C. H. Leavy
Monk, Bay to Union and cross
streets-F, E. Twitty, Julius Levy.
Gloucester street, Bay to Cochran
avenue and cross streets Y. Smith,
B. F. Mann
Suburbs-A. J. Gordon, ]. Sidney
Roberts
one OF these committees, the first
named, started out with their Deti-
ton yesterday afternoon and, although
only few hours was devoted to the
work, couple of hundred names were
affixed to the petition, including some
OF the largest .property-owners in the
city. AS a matter of fact one of the
members of the committee stated that
of the large number Of business peo-
pie canvassed during the afternoon.
only two had refused to sign the pc
tition.
All five Of the committees will prob
ably go to work today, and the canvass
Will be continued until the entire CITY
ls covered. 1t is believed that bv
the end of the week that fully ninety
per cent of the taxpayers of Bruins
wick will have signed the petition,
and it is pointed out that it will be
rather difficult matter. for city
council to turn down petition signed
by such large per cent of the prop
erty-owners
Nearly everybody who was seen
yesterday expressed themselves as be-
ing N favor of the plan outlined by
the association, that of turning over
the white way to city council 1t seems
to be about the only way in which it
can be handled, and while the mem
bers of the city's official family have
not as yet expressed themselves, it
is believed that they will grant the
petition when it is presented.
