ARKANSAS SPENDING
 THOUSANDS FOR ROADS

Little Rock, July 10.-EIugh R. Car ter, state highway engineer, reports that the contract for the construc- tion of the 23-miIe portion of the Russellville-Harris road, ill Hope county, will be awarded August 1. The bonds are to be sold next We'd nesday, July A. This will be the second sale of bonds under the Alex ander road law passed by the last legislature. The Pope county road will cost about $100,000. The con tract for the Ashdown-Ogden road, 16 miles, will be let July 22. The bonds, amounting to $60,000, have already been sold.
 For the first time in the history of the state, the building of good roads has been reduced to a practi- cal basis. Theory and talk have giv- en way to actual construction. It is estimated that before the close of the year there will be under actual con- struction, or in preparation, five mil lion dollars worth of work in the state.s There is now about $400,0oO worth of work under way under the special acts, and nearly half a mil lion under the Alexander act, the larger items being the following: Jefferson county S125,000, Grant coun- ty $160000, Little Rock $60,000, and Pope county $100,000.

American Literature.

If one were asked what is the dom inant tone in American literature and life, the answer would be youthful nesa;' but this youth has attained all the vices of age, and has conserved . few of the charms proper to It's period. It is very disingenuous youth indeed. This insistence on 'boyish' ness Is unhealthy; more, it is de- prayed. These boyish boys and girl ish girls of the writer and the artist are the indications Of real cancer in American public life. Perhaps in portraying them the writers and illus trators are describing something which iS as true as it is detestable. The cult of youthfulness in America is national calamity, far graver than anything for which Europe has to mourn. Youth has nothing to give life but it's energy; 1t has even less to give literature, for literature ia an expression of the spiritual truth which runs parallel with every mate rial experience. It is not the retail ing of petty gossip about petty peo- plo; and when this youthful energy .s divorced from the control of ma Gurity nobody can benefit from 1t ex' cept the middle-aged woman for whom American literature is now be- ing written."-James Stephens in the Co2tuSu.

Sea Moss,

This term is popularly applied to any of the Polyzoa, which are com. pound marine animals, several of which share com1ron horny skele' ton, or polyzoary, which is plant-like in form. According to the bureau of fisheries, several hundred thousand pounds of these skeletons have been imported annually from Europe, chief ly from France and Germany, for dec- orative and millinery purposes, and the supply has now been practically cut off by the war. It therefore seems opportune to develop domestic in- dustry, as sea mosses, probably equal in quality to those heretofore import ed. are said to be abundant on our coasts, especially in New England. Those with large bushy frcnds are the most valuable.

Nuts as Food.

Nuts form a very concentrated form of food, in many cases more so than cheese, and when rationally used they are readily digested and form part: of well-balanced ration. Nuts are plentiful in many localities and should not be allowed to go to waste. A pound of walnuts will produce almost three times as much energy as pound of steak. Such being the case, would not the use of a considerable quantity of walnuts, butternuts, and hickory nuts be valuable addition to the households supply of provisiOns1

ARKANSAS CROPS

John Page Finds Great In crease in Grain Acreage;
 Big Gut in Cotton.

Little Rock, July 10.-Commissioner John H. Page, who has been making an extensive personal investigation of crop conditions. reports that de- spite excessive rains, crops will be good all over the state. He predicts tion next fall than they have been in years.
 There is a greatly increased crop of grains of all kinds, and Mr. Page estimates the reduction ill cotton acreage at 20 per cent. The corn crop is clean, and the cotton crop is in good condition. Wheat is uniformly good, and the yield has been excel lent. Winter oats has produced well, although the spring oats has been relatively light. Farmers have given more attention to garden and forage. \ Peas have been raised more plenti- fully than ever before, there has been an abundant hay crop, an dthe gener- al disposition has been to raise more feed for the stock.
 This seasons crop has been raised more cheaply than any for years. It has been made under forced econ- omy. as the merchants have restrict ed the credit to the farmers, who have not been able to get the usual credit. A greater number of farmers than ever before are becoming inde- pendent of cotton, but there is enough cotton in the state to make the whole state prosperous if there is a good price,

It is finely said by Plato that as the knowledge that is divested of justice deserves the appellation of cunning, rather than wisdom, so mind unsus' ceptible of fear, if animated by private interest and not public utility, deserves the character of audaciousness, rather than or fortitude.
