UN NE BLUFF ROGREsS
 ROSPERITY
R. II. M. MILLS.

As obedient and as trustful to the Father wh:n facing death as through cut his long Tiff, R. H. M. Mills enter ed the eternal sleep at his .hame hsrat yesterday morning. He was vouch- .safed & years on earth, and that he could look calmly to the end and without qualm or tremor meet it, is an achievement that few have accom- plished. Only when forlified by a clear conscience, Knowledge that he has kept the faith with Him, can rns pass into the unknown without fear, and with full and complete faith that better life is about to begin.
 MT. Mills did not welcome death. Only a few days ago ha said to one of his sons:
 "This is a good old world, and don't want to leave it. You children are all grown now, and I haven't a care. I'm happy and content, and want to live. But if it is the Lords will that l must go now, it is all right"
 He said this, not with religious fsvor or emotion, but as one strength ened by consciousness that he had used his years well; that he had fol- lowed where the Lord led, and that if the Master thought the servants task ccmplste, he was ready to be judged.
 MT. Mills had lived here for more chan half century. There was little Tn his life that is not known to all. He achieved success materially, but his greatest success was the manner in which he built for the eternal life. Cnpretentious, home-loving man, tle devcted all his spare moments to his honja and 10 his church. He rsared large family to do him aonor; he helped extend the kingdom of God. There is naught more to say. Columns would not add to that simple, statement of truth.
 Words cannot assuaga the sorrow of the widow or children, but they sEould find solace in the thought of q long life devoted to home and church "a life So spent that at the end it's trustee could bow suhmissively, and, without uneasiness, murmer:
 70 Lord, Thy will, not mine, be done.'

eral government; in round numbers three-quarters of a billion dollars a year, which keeps an army of GOO, ,O0O teachers at work" yet the teachers
 i'll the rural schools are underpaid few receiving more than competent farm hands.
 That tha bureau of education
 should lead in this work, is the belisf
 of MT. Lane, who thinks the task too
 big for school boards. He says:
 Our aim would be to identify the
 school with the farm and the village,
 and develop new respect in fathers and mothers for the school as a prac- tlcal and not a mere scholastic insti- tuition! The probls is only one of
 popularization. The experimental work has been done. We know where the bsst seed is. Here is call for the cc-cprativ leadership of the govern ment in a work of suprema value to the state. The man to direct this work the Nation would heed. That such man can be secured there is no doubt, for experience justifies the statement that th:re are no men of large capacity whose services the country can not command at a ma terial sacrifice.
 If asked hew this work could be done I should say that it could best be done by showing to the picked teachers of the country the model schools. The quickest and the surest way to set this country aflame with zehl for b2tter type of country school would be to show the teachers such schools. make them live in Nhem, and learn from them by seeing them in action.
 There is no such lesson as the One that is taught by experiance. Lee turers, moving pictures, and books may aid. But to see and be part Of a movement or lifa is to make it ene's own. If ten live imen or women were taken from each state to some one of the two Or three most modern rural schools and there for month were initiated into the art of teaching out of life, by doing things and not read ing about things being done, and if eacn or these tsn went nome mlS- sionary for the new idea, how long would 1t be before the state wsre converted and cid methods aban- doned? And once the right kind Of school were started in any state now lcng would it take others to follow. This thing can be done and by meth ods that are so simple and direct that they will bo> startling. The nsed is and surely it would be a shame to let a generation waste itself while the idea slowly creeps on all fours through a country that has in vented wireless telephony.

LANE URGES BETER RURAL
 SCHOOLS.

Secretary of the Inferior Franklin F. Lane, in his report to be presented to the president tomorrow, suggests the need for a national campaign for q better rural school. He speaks of Young America, our 22,OOO0 0OO school boys and girls, as the chief asset of The naticn. and asks, "Ars we doing all possible tc develop this rssource ?''
 Secretary Lane finds that the American people are net indifferent fc their schools; that they are epay- Ing for their support almost as much as they do for the support df the fed ed,

 There are large areas of valuable timber lands, and many thousands of acres of cultivated farm lands, in the territory which will be thus opened up, and the building of the railroad is expected to result in a big increase in business, as we'll as in land values, in that section.

Gulf, which extends from Hot Springs through Garland, Hot Spring, Clark, Pike, Hampstead, Howard and Sevier counties, to Ashdown, where it takes the Kansas City Southern tracks into TeXarkana
 In this connection, attention has been directed to the presence here at this time of Martin Walsh, operat- ing head of the M, D. & G., and who has been with that road since it's in ception. MT. Walsh has made num- Der of visits to Pine Bluff in the re- cent past-and most of his visits have been since the coming to Pine Bluff of MT. Blanchard, this being consid- cred as bearing some significance.
 The opinion prevails that the road proposed by MT. Blanchard will oper- ate through Jefferson, Arkansas, Mon Dewitt, crossing the White river near St. Charles, and striking the Missis- sippi, it is understood, near Modoc or Ferguson.
 May Handle Bauxits.
 To the west, in reaching it's con meeting point with the present M., D. & G., tho proposed road, it is under stood, will reach to within a short distance of Bauxite, with which place it will be connected by a spur line, that it may be able to handle some or all of the immense quantities of alum mum ores shipped from the mines there to the American Bauxite com pany's retineries at St. Louis.
 The bauxite company has been hav- ing great difficulty over railroad rates, and has been seek 'ng water transportation, for some time past. This new road, it is understood, will be in position ito haul the cres to it's terminus on the Mississippi river, where the connecting barge line can take over the ore, for transportation to St. Louis, at considerable reduc- ton in rates.
