on this important subject. Mrs.
Silena NJ. Holman, president of
the Tennessee w. c. T. u, says of
Mrs. Stratton:
1--WE have had no speaker in the
field who gave more general salts
faction, or did more successful work
than Mrs. Stratton. She makes
warmest friends wherever she goes.
She is deeply spiritual in her ma
ture. She is a logical, fluent and
forcible speaker. Her words carry
conviction to the minds of her hear
ers, and her sweet, gentle person
ality wins their hearts,"

wage law had not failed, and, if
so, If the agreement between the

Commissioner Clary replied that
the minimum wage bill had passed
both houses and had been sent to
Governor Hays, or would be as soon
as it could be enrolled, and that
he would urge that it be signed at
once.

inexperienced workers and 1925 as
the minimum for experienced en-

Good Roads Notes.

No other citizen realizes the
value of good roads as does the
farmer.
A community can safely be
judged by the kind of highways it
maintains.
The greatest chasm between the
producer and the consumer is the
raud hole
Production must cease when the
transportation costs eat up the
profits.
There is something radically
wrong with the farmer who is OPP
posed to good roads.
Without good roads, there can
be no development that will be per
manent and enduring.
The elementary principles involv-
ed in improved highways are So
cial and domestic happiness and
business economics. Homer d.

COUNCIL MEETING
HELD LAST NIGHT
Ordinance Revising Light Rates
Read Second Time-City to Buy
Street Sweeper.
(From Tuesdays Daily Press

(From Tuesdays Daily Press
Last nights meeting of the city
council was devoted to general
discussion of the ordinance revis-
ing the rates to be charged con
sumers by the Crystal Ice Company,
the consideration of an ordinance
creating the downtown business sec
ton of the city into a street sprlnk-
ling district, the appointment OF
a co.amfttee to investigate street
sweepers and secure prices on
same, and to a decision upon the
part of the council to accept and
approve no bonds of city officials
or others having business with the
city unless the sureties on the
bonds qualify as to their solvency,
as the law provides. The proposed
traffic ordinance to regulate We
hicle traffic on the streets also came
in for discussion.
City Attorney Shane presented an
ordinance creating a street sprink-
ling district, providing for a front
foot assessment to sustain the
the council to let the contract to
the lowest bidder. The ordinance
was read informally merely to get
its provisions before the members
of the council so they could intel
ligently discuss the various sections.
No action was taken last night
The mayor was authorized to APP,
point special committee to act
with himself and the street COM
missioner to investigate street
sweepers, ascertain the prices
charged for the various kinds OF
sweepers, and if possible have one
brought to Paragould for demon
stration purposes.
The matter of approving bonds
where the sureties have not quail
fled that they are worth the
amount of the bond over and above
their debts, liabilities and eXemp-
lions, was discussed and the coun-
ell decided that in future no bonds
would be approved unless the sure
ties accompanied the bond with a
sworn statement that they were
solvent.
Attention was also called to the
fact that the bonds filed by CON
crete contractors during 1914, ex-
pireG on December 81, and that be-
fore any of the contractors can le-
gally do work in 1915 new bonds
must be filed and new license Sc
cured. The bonds protect the
property owner against defects in
the work for period of two years
from the date the walk is laid. The
city clerk reported that there had
been no renewals of bonds issued
contractors probably thought the
old bond held good during 1915.
The electric light ordinance was
placed upon its second reading and
its provisions were again discus
ed. The council is taking its time
with the consideration of this ordi-
nance and final action will not bt
taken until after the third reading
OF the measure on Monday night
April 5.
The fire and water committee
was authorized to make some i'm
provements on the interior OF the
building used by the fire depart
ment. The committee was also in
