meet new and enlarged opportunities

For fifteen centuries, ever since
Bishop Pauiinus introduced bells
in the ceremonies Of the Christian
church, the custom has been fol-
lowed. It grew out of the aIl-
cient habit Of exercising malig-
nant spirits with chimes so that
the journey Of the dead into the
great beyond should be undis-
turbed.

Liberty bell, John Bunyan's bell,

WHAT SHALL BE DONE TO
INSURE A HAPPY NEW
YEAR?

The best resolve to make at this
season Is to resolve to make others
happy. This not only brings happiness
to others, but to ourselves. 1t does
not spring from the. selfish desire to
please ourselves by pleasing Others
but from that proper self love which
prompts US to do for others what we
would have them do for US. In giving
pleasure we receive pleasure, and thus
the New Year Is made brighter and
happier for all.

The HeroineS of Novels,

If l were his satanic majesty, and a novelist came to me for judgment, I should beetle my brows in a horrible manner and quiz him thus:
 Did you ever make your heroine eighteen years old? Did you ever en- dow maiden with the repartee of Pinero, the intuition of Blavatsky the carriage of Garden, the hauteur of the Medici the beauty of Aphrodite and the wisdom of Athene-aH at the age of eighteen years?"
 If the novelist answered me Ger tainly not!" I should say: ITO heaven with you." But if he answered; Sure I did!" 1 would blast him where he stood
 For, of all the iniquitous, fallacious, unfair and dangerous doctrines, this takes the icing of the cake-that the female species reaches her apogee at the immature age of eighteen.-From Balm for Lovers," by George Weston in the Saturday Evening Post

ID LEVY ROAD TAX ID BUILD APPROACH CRiTTENOEN COUNTY WILL BUILD WAGON APPROACH
 TO NEW BRIDGE.
WELL PLAN ACTION SOON
Judge Thompson Says Four improve ment Districts Will Be
 Organized.
MariOn.-

ndi Ou.- Although admittedly the Arkansas Supreme Court decision which knock ed out the bond issue plan to build the wagon road approaches and via. ducts to the lew Harahan bridge across the Mississippi at Memphis al so knocked the breath out of Critten- den County officials and property own. CTS, they do not propose to delay a month in finding a new way to finance t:;e improvement.
 There seems to be a general mis- understanding about tue effect of the supreme court decision" said Judge J. B. Thompson, county judge of Crit tendent county. We had reached an agreement with the railroads to build the wagonway and footwavs across the bridge on the basis of a 52-foot stage of water, and this will be done
 At the end of the bridge approach proper the wagonway will be 12 feet above the ground What we proposed to do was to build a concrete and steel viaduct from that point back to the levee. distance of two and a half miles, to give clearance to a stage Of j2 feet of water.
 "The estimated cost of this viaduct vas from S25C.G00 to S325, ,0O0. We had planned to issue S350,000 bonds, and to take S24,O00 a year from the county road fund to retire the bonds. Fully 90 per cent of the people were in ia. yor of this plan, because it gave us an opportunity to do something with out increasing our taxation.
 Within the next few days we will hold meeting in Marion to decide definitely how we shall proceed I am quite sure, however, that we will proceed to organize road improvement districts under the Alexander acy. This provides for betterment tax and applies alike to land and rail roads. But it means an increase in taxation, and that is the thing we were trying to get away from.
 "We probably shall organize four road improvement districts, one par7 allel to each Of the four lines of rata road in CrIttendent County. The districts are organized by petitions, handled through the county court, and there is not the slightest doubt that practically everyone in fhe county will sign the petitions.

What Causes Tuberculosis.

Dr. John North of Toledo, O., is working on the theory that tubercu- losis may be due to a lack of lime in the system, as he says that while tubercular germs are everywhere, they only thrive in ripe soil and just what is lacking in persons subject to tuber- cular trouble gives food for thought.
 He says that there is less tuber- culosis among people living in arid re gions and plants in such places have more lime in their composition than those growing in humid regions.
