Man in a big Wagon, driving two

looks of the Man though they didn't

There is only the barest possibility
that recounts and possible court con
tests predicted by unyielding Repubil

California was the pivotal state. its

Apparently 1t is no longer a cues
ton of victory for Wilson, but a ques-
ton OF how large will be his electoral

make any comment upon the election
results. He arose about s a. m. and

Election Not Conceded.
Chairman w. B. Wilcox. refusing

Wilson, said In a formal statement is
sued after a conference with other

of a few close states and that their

states unofficial and may be changed
by the official counts.

COST OF CONCRETE ROADS.

A reader of The Graphic, doubt
less reading about the difficulties en-
countcred in many sections that have
gone in for good roads in finding ma
terial TO stand the strain Of modern
travel writes inquiring as to the cost
of putting down concrete roads.
The cost, The Graphic finds, is con
siderable higher than other classes Of
roadway, except brick. On an average
it will cost 1927 per square yard to
make a concrete road 10 feet wide,
which is $11,921 per mile. This will
vary somewhat and will run as high as
$4,000 per mile in some localities.
repairs a!p from $50 to $50 per mile
per year.
From this it will be seen that con-
crete roads will not be as common as
dirt roads for some time yet; but in
20 years we may find the main high
ways Of. the country-the great trunk
lines-built either of brick or con-

Uses of Feldspar.

The feldspar quarries in the United
States, with the exception of those in
California, are restricted to nine Of
the eastern seaboad states. Most OF
the feldspar mined in the eastern
states is Of the potash or the soda va.
riety or a mixture of the two, anS
these varieties are used in the pottery
industry because after being melted
and cooled they form a glass. Field
spar of the lower grade is used as a
binder in making emery and corundum

CHILD SHOULD KNOW COMMUN-

Every boy and girl in the early
teens in Pine Bluff should know Pine

They should know how the commun-

acted, what the officials are and their
duties7--in short, everything there is
to know about the place in which they
live.
Early impressions go long way.
