TWELFTH STREET PIKE ROCKED SEVEN MILES, FROM ROCK
 CREEK WEST.

Seven miles of new rock road is being built on Twelfth street pike, be- ginning at Rock Creek and extending into the neighborhood of Frank and Ferdale, the latter the present ter minus of the Neimeyer railroad.
 This improvement will give a shorter route to Little Rock for the farmers in the rich Maumelle country who in the past have had to do their hauling over the Nineteenth street pike or by way of Pinnacle.
 The new road has been laid out around instead of over the hills, and steep grades are avoided It traverses some pretty hill country that has not heretofore been seen by many city people, and it is likely that the Twelfth street pike will become popu- lar with the motorists. Some prom inent Little Rock people have homes out this way, and the number likely will be increased since the betterment of the roads has made the country more easy of access.
 Judge Joe Asher drove out over the new road Sunday, and is much pleas ed with the progress made under the very unfavorable weather conditions.

DIVERSIFIED FARMING IN A
 GLASS CASE.

Corn, oats, alfalfa and a score of other crops of the modern diversified farm may be seen growing in glass case at the seed sales room of the Hayes-Thomas Grain Company, Sixth and Center streets, Little Rock. The various grains are being tested to de termine their germinating quality in an electrically heated seed tester con structed by David McLees, manager of the seed department.
 When new crop of seed is receiv- ed sample is placed in the tester and a record made of the number of grains that sprout. In this way customer may see the actual germi- nation of any seed that he is buying The tester handles 300 different sam ples at one time, and uniform tenn perature of 90 degrees is maintained by the electrical current
 MT. McLees says there is big call this year for grasses and clovers, es- pecially sweet clover, red clover and alfalfa. The supply of these seed is not pleHlIlul, OWlnS to the suspension of European shipments.
 Good seed corn is scarce. It is hard to get Arkansas-grown seed of stand ard varieties and known quality Most of the seed corn comes from Kansas and Missouri.
 Sudan grass is the rage with farm CTS now. Good, inspected Sudan grass seed can be bought this spring for 50 and 60 cents a pound, about one-ifth the price asked last year, and much cheaper than is asked by foreign dealers.

BUILDING UP THE COMMUNITY

Ways and means Of arousing their

keynote of much of the discussion at
the Country Life Conference for Rural

striking papers delivered at last years
Conference was on this very subject.
of how the country might keep its own
people. particularly the prosperous re.
tired farmer and his family, who ought
TO be the most influential factors in
life. DIR. Carver said:

Death Of william N. While.

Died at his residence at Hollywood
on Thursday night last, William NJ.
While, in the 18th year of his age.
At all times, under all circumstances
Mr.. While walked in the well-beaten
path of righteousness, and when fully
conscious that he was nearing the last
of earth, he appeared to be fully i'm
pressed with the idea that at the end of
time eternity began, and that the bright
faith which sustained him during those
trying days of suffering would only
grow brighter and brighter as he
journeyed toward the Infinite, and the
final gloom of death he dispelled 10y
the radiance of Gods love. Could all
live the just and upright life which he
lived and die in his trusting faith,
death could no longer Ice called The
King of Terrors," for he inspired no
terror there The dying man and sOr-
rowing family looked forward with the
same eye of faith to the brighter flu
ture, where this temporary separation
would end in an eternal reunion.
He was strictly honest in the service
he rendered. In short, he was not
only a good Christian, but he was an
honorable gentleman, in the highest
sense that term implies. To man,
woman or child, saint or sinner, he
always extended a cordial greeting,
that lent a ray of light to brighten
their pathway in the journey of life.
He commanded the respect of all sects
and classes of people. as the atten-
dance nj his funeral fully verified. II
was perfectly natural for him To do
right. He was well and favorably
known throughout the whole county,
having engaged in his work at Glenn
ents, Mechanicsville, Clifton Factory,
Leonardtown and Solomon's Island.
He is survived by n widow, Cathar-
inc ii. While, three sons, five daugh-
tiers, two brothers and one sister. A
large number of grand and great
grandchildren also survive him. He
was laid To rest in St. Johns Gene
terry on Sunday last.
'sTired! all, yes. so tired dear,
| shall soundly sleep tonight,
With never a dream and never fear,
To wake in the morning light.
