The RomanoHs.

The founder of the Russian royal
house, known as the "Rolnanoffs,"
was Michael Feodorovitch, who was
elected car in 1913 at the age Of six

founder of the strong, autocratic rule
In Russia, was forced by the duma
that elected him to take a constitu-
tional oath-a formula that was but
tightly regarded.

What 1ubercuIosrs Costs

1t has been estimated that deaths
from tuberculosis cost the nation half
a million dollars annually through the
loss of wages and the value of the
things workers would produce If they
were not suffering from the disease.
To conquer this enemy Of the human
race more than s20,OOO,00O a year is
expended. That the good work is pro-
crossing is shown by the fact that In
20 years the death rate from tubercu-
losis has been reduced from 245.4 to
15s per 100000 population.

ed just few days ago, and is still
remembered wildly, On the day
after Christmas Old Man Winter

no mark.

month, the lowest temperature being
zero. There were seventeen days dur
ing the year when the temperature
reached zero or lower, one in Janu-
xary, in February and 9 in Decem-
| Der. The temperature rose to 80 de-
grees or higher on sixteen days, one
in May, one in June, nine in July

WHY THE YOUTHS COMPANION
 SHOULD BE IN EVERY FAMILY

If 1 could take only one paper, said the late MT. Justice Brewer of the Supreme Court, it would be The Youths Com panion-a little of everything in a nutshell, and unbiased" The Companion is a family paper in the completest sense. It pro- vides reading that, without fail ing to interest the young, still interests the mature. It unites young and old through their common enjoyment of delight ful fiction, agreeable miscellany, and the clear exposition of public questions.
 So carefully is it edited, so varied are it's contents, that it would easily supply a family with entertaining fiction, up-to- date information and wholesome fun, if no other periodical enter ed the house.
 If you are not familiar with The Companion as it is today, let us send you sample copies and the forecast for the current volume.
 New Subscribers who send $2.00 for a years subscription will receive free a copy of The Companion Home Calendar for 1915.

Nearly Every County
 Builds Good Roads
STAFFORD BILL, PERMIT TING EACH COUNTY TO SETTLE
 THIS QUESTION PASSED

Road building over Arkansas will be the principal occupation of the masses if the number of road improvement district which have been formed by the Assem- ply this session is to be consider ed. Nearly every county of the state is represented, unless they were already improved before the session began. No real long districts have been organized, but the Stafford bill has been passed to permit counties to settle this question for them selves in the future, and if they desire to join with another county in a pike across the state, they are at liberty to do so without going to the legislature for relief. Jefferson county has been the leader in the number of road dis tricts, but Miller has not been backward, and Monroe, Prairie and Lonoke, getting a taste of the benifits to be derived under them, have asked for many more districts.
 The longest stretch of highway permanently improved, will be the Little Rock Star City, via Pine Bluff. This entire route is now in districts, with only short gaps here and there to be com pleted. The Monroe county dis trict will close the worst gap in the Memphis to Little Rock high way. It passes through the Monroe county bottoms on White river, and automobiles must now be lowed twelve miles now to strike a good road after going aboard the boat at Clarendon. This trip has been very expen- sive, but when it is eliminated there will be much travel into Arkansas from Memphis. There have been quite few drainage districts too, and bond buyers are as numerous as employees about the capitol.
