FAYORS ADOPTION OF
 CONDRAY ROAD LAW
E. H. EDWARDS SAYS TT LOOKS BETTER THAN ANYTHING
 WE HAVE NOW.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 As the law just passed by the legis- lature making Faulkner county a road district seems to be the only subject for discussion, and not seeing any thing from this part of the county, 1 thought I would give my views. I am always in favor of good roads, and if I understand this bill I am for it, for it looks better than anything We have now. We have been under the Prince good road law for 16 years and have paid on an average of $10,- 000.0O each year, making $160, 100000 paid out for road work. Then we have by free labor, I suppose some thing like 2,000 men that work four days each year. Multiply that by the 16 years will give us 128,000 days free labor. Counting that at one dollar per day will make us total of $288,- 000.00, which would very near pay for the 100 miles of road, and we have not one mile of good road that we did not have when the law went into effect. Now, let's discuss this bill from it's merits and not try to prejudice the minds of the people as some are doing because we are not the whole cheese.
 Yours for good roads,
 E. H. EDWARDS,

URGES VOTERS TO ADOPT
 CONDRAY ROAD BILL
MARTINVILLE MAN POINTS OUT ITS ADVANTAGES TO THE
 RENTER CLASS.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Edltor Log Cabin Democrat:
 I want to say few words in favor of the Condray road law. It is the chance of our lives to get road. I want to urge every renter in the dis trict to go to the polls and vote for this law. You can get road with out one penny of cost to yourself All the objections I have heard against the law in the township have come from renters.
 We all have more or less hauling from the railroad in the spring. If we had pike road We could do this hauling when it is too wet to blow. As it is now, when it is too wet to blow the roads are so slick and mud ddy we can't haul, so we have to lose the time out of our crops in dry weather to do our hauling. Some say 1t costs too much. If we get road we will sure have to pay for it. Most of the landowners in the county bor- row money and pay 10 per cent in terest for it. If we can get this law we can work this money out on the roads at idle times and only have six per cent to pay.
 Now, I live twenty miles from the railroad. 1t takes me two days to make the trip to Conway with load. If I had pike road 1 could double my load and make the trip in one day. So you see it will save teams and time.
 If you can't get the consent of your mind to go to the polls and vote for this law, please stay at home and work-it will be the most valuable days work you ever did.
 Robert Martin.

GETTING A START
By
NATHANIEL c. FOWLER, Jr.
THE COMPLAINT Err.

You are not altogether satisfied with
yourself, with others, with your en-
vironment. with conditions. Nobody is
satisfied. Neither you nor anybody
else will ever be completely satisfied
Full satisfaction leads to stagnation
The satisfied man is a fool, intoxicated
with his own satisfaction, never sober
enough to do more thar stagger along
the road of life.
The complete optimist is no better
than the contSnted pig in the well-kept
sty.
Regulated dissatisfaction, dissatis-
faction based upon fact, is a forerun-
-<er of success.
There Is, however. a wide gulf be-
tween legitimate dissatisfaction and
that which consumes the chronic COM
palmer, the disreputable knocker, and
the everlasting kicker.
Life is made up Of alternatives and
negatives. One without the other is
incomplete. The two properly blended
are part of the composition of success.
The habitual complainer is an enemy
to himself, and he is despised by all
with whom he comes in contact. He is
failure at the start, and will be a
failure as long as he INDUCES in
chronic dissatisfaction. q
Conversely, the complete optimist is
dangerous to himself and a menace to
society, because he does not know
enough to get out of the ruts or to
keep from stumbling into holes.
Dissatisfaction has a value only
when it spurs one on to better effort
When it deadens ones faculties, as ii
| often does, and takes the gimp out OF
him, SO TO speak it is an evil of the
most virulent form.
Nobody likes the constant complain
er. He has no friends. He does not
occupy any position of responsibility
and he never will. He cannot manage
himself or command others He has
no respect for himself and nobody re
spects him. He is no better than 6

everybody has troubles, and while

FINDS NEW RACE OF INDIANS

Albert Lang, who is exploring the

Dellenbaugh. secretary of the Explor-
ers' club, of the discovery of a new
tribe Of Indians, 1000 miles from civ
ilization, between the headwaters of
the Cairary and Moju rivers. Mr.
Lang gives a picturesque description
Of the savages. who, he says, took
him for a god, embracing his feet to
show their devotion. Their tools, he
writes, are of stone, and their
ideas SO unusual as to suggest their
belonging to another age. The Jew
ish cast of their features might lead
one to infer tb1t they were of the
lost tribes did hft their ignorance OF
iron and writing argue against it.

A DOCTORS EXPERIENCE
Medicine Not Needed In This Case

1t Is hard to convince some people
that coffee does them an injury! They
lay their bad feelings to almost every
cause but the true and unsupported
one.

some systems, coffee is an insidious
poison that undermines the health.

stipation, stomach and nervous trou-
