MINING FOR MANGANESE
New Industry Attracts Hundreds t'
 Montgomery COuhty.

Womble, May 13.-More than 100 men are at work in the wes tern part O Montgomery county sinking shafts into beds of manganese ore. ImprOv- ed machinery is being installed. A force of Austrian laborers, with an in terpreter, is at work in mine operat- ed by St Louis capitalists Other min es are being operated by capitalists of Kansas City and Atlanta.
 r. is estimated that 800 mining claims have been staked in the past few days, most of them from three to 15 miles west of Womble.
 Two gangs of laborers are at work budding a modern road from the min es to the railroad. It is proposed to rur auto trucks pulling five ton trail ecs to haul ore and make three round trips from the mines to the railroad daily.
 Several carloads of ore have been hauled out by wagons. Miners de- clare that within a few weeks a train load of ore will be shipped out of Montgomery county daily.

LOCAL DRUG STORE
 MAKES BIG DEAL

Secures Agency For Hays Specific.
 Announcement is made that The Boyer Drug Company of Ashdown has succeeded in landing" the local agen- cy for Hays Specific, the great sys- em tonic, which is so genuinely bene- ficial as remedy for rheumatism that T. J. Jones, of Clossland, Ky, says:
 To any one suffering from Sciatica, will say I was afflicted with it for about three months. I tried half a dczen remedies and got no relief. My family physician could not benefit me and said I might not be able to walk in twelve montas. I could not sit down to eat, nor walk I took one bottle of Hays Specific and went to blowing. I have never been bothered with it since. No one can estimate it's value for chronic sciatica. My neighbors said it would return, but it has been two years and I have no symptoms of it.

Has Little River County lost it's pep? The year 1916 has seen many of the biggest things in our history put through and projected; SS5,O ,O0O water and sewerage system completed at Ashdown, first and only rock road under the Alexander bill, Jefferson Highway surveyed throughout the county, other rock roads projected, many miles of levees built and build ing, modern duplicate light system and ice plant under con- struction, light plant projected and soon to be built at Fore man. Many other things have been done no less important, such as the building almost weekly of dipping vats through out the country, the organiZa- tion of Pig Clubs, the building of silos, all tending to better and more stock. And all this has been done following a year of the most destructive floods in the history of the county.
 At the rate that the Pig Club members are spreading over the county we may look for an era of blooded stock in the near future. All Pig Club members, and they are numerous, will grow thoroughbreds. There is a pride that goes with grow ing fine stock that grows on people, and incidentally puts them in tho way of greater prosperity.

for working out the road tax" which has spoiled more roads than Q bom- bardment from all the high-calibered guns of the European armies, is grad ua11y disappearing from our statute books. Board of county commission CTS and township supervisors are giv- ing the matter thoughtful attention and improvement will undoubtedly be rapid from now on. The federal gov ernment is offering every assistance to the forward movement. Object lesson roads are constructed upon ap- plication of township or county author ities to demonstrate proper methods of construction and proper use of road building materials The office of pub lie roads and rural engineering of the department of agriculture furnishes the services of an engineer, and the local communities are required to fur nish all the material, labor and sup plies. Experimental roads are also constructed to determine the relative merits and values of the various types of road construction, and of the vari- ous preparations and materials for use in road construction. In certain in- stances the office pays only portion of the cost of these roads and the balance is borne by the county in which the road is located.
 It is too bad that we had to wait for the vail of the stalled automo- bilist to awaken us to the shameful condition of our roads, A Scotch civil engineer was imported as adviser in the matter of building a railway over our great western plains. He fnvesti- gated very carefully and gravely re- ported that the project was unfeasible When pressed for his reason by the astonished promoters of the enterprise, he said: You cannot build a line of railway over that country because there's no place to run your tunnels" The designer" of most of our country roads has been laboring under a simi- lar twisted and contorted vision of his job-but we're on our way.-Iowa Homestead.

 Ri ters and HarbOrS FilibuSter.

Washington, May 13-This was the fifth day of the filibuster against riv- CTS and harbors appropriation bill by Senators Kenyon and Sherman. Sen ator Kenyon resumed his speech with an attack oa the expenditures for the Red River in Arkansas, the home state of Chairman Clarke of Arkansas, a member of the Commerce Commit tee, which drafted the bill. A report he read showed that $1,900,31S had been spent on the river which, at low water, in many places has channel depth of from two to five feet.
 Senator Kenyon finished after two hours, but announced he would con- tinue to fight the bill and would offer .nendments for projects where the appropriation asked was larged than he thought proper.
 Further consideration of the bill was deferred until Tuesday.

CONCRETE ROADS GAIN FAVOR
Highways Are Expensive to Build, but Are Proving, Especially in Call

Investigations by the department of agriculture have shown wonderful increase in the popularity of roads with heavy concrete base Such roads are expensive to build. but are proving, especially in sections like California, almost everlasting. The best invest ment California has mado has been her good roads. There have been some mistakes; there have been dis. appointments because of the inability to cover all sections, but there have been enough benefits secured from the good roads to amply compensate for all they have cost

GERMANS WANT PEACEa
Not Official, Says Lord Cecil, but Ru.
 mOrs Indicate Powers Desperate.

London, May 14.-"The latest peace overtures said to be of German origin, while not as insolent and impossible as previous statements on the same subject. certainly do not yet offer hasls for negotiations" said Lord Robert Cecil. minister of war trade, in discussing with the Associated Press the latest reputed German peace terms. Lord Robert continued:
 We never have received either off, cially or unofficially any direct peace suggestions from Germany and the only indirect overtures we are aware of appears in the speeches of Chan ceilCT von Bethmanm-Hollweg and the recent note to America. We would no; think of discussing or even con- sidering any overtures without con- suliirg our allies. No formal or in formal conference for this purpose e,er has taken place.
 "In diplomatic procedure neutral is hardly likely to make any sugges- tions of peace unless certain they are acceptable tp the recipient. If Ger fany should decide to approach us through the medium of the United States, the latter would have to use it's own judgment as to whether or not to deliver the request.
 While disclaiming any knowledge of the intentions of Germany, Lord Rob- ert declared that increasing rumOrs of peace overtures indicate there is some truth to the stories that tho central powers are in desperate straits

ROAD BUILDING IS DIFFICULT
Experience and Expert Knowledge
 Are Essentiai-Federai Govern : ment Offers Assistance.

Road building is scientific prob lem-no. a haphazard job. We be- lieve, however, that if census were taken tomorrow, 99 per cent of the people of this land would claim that they were amply qualified to build a road and edit newspaper. Only a small percentage get chance to try their hands on the blue pencil propo- sition. but a trip over almost any country road will convince one that most of the 99 have had crack at road building.
 Little by little the public in general and the officials charged with the re- sponsibility for our highways are learning that road building requires expert knowledge and experience. That ridiculous, antiquated provision

100000 ARMY IN TIME OF PEACE
Will Have 254,OOO In Time of War
 Says Senate Conference.

Washington, May 13.-A regular army of 100000 men for the peace strength, this number being capable of expansion to 254,O00 men in time of War was agreed upon this morning by the house and senate conferes in their conference on the array re-or- ganization bill.
 The report of the agreement will be submitted to both houses next week. and it is expected that the measure likely will be adopted as agreed upon in conference.
 In this agreement on the regular army bill, the senate bill system of organization was retained as a substi- tute for the house system, which would have recruited a maximum arm of 100000 men.
 The regular line of the army, the 160 GOO, and the maximum strength in peace times will be 175,000 officers and men.
 The hOu last week killed the sen- ate bill providing for an even larger regular standing army, with system whereby it could be enlarged in the time Of war, and the measure agreed upon this morning was much in the nature of a compromise. and the be- lief is entertained that this measure will be adopted in the house and it's passage by the senate is almost as- sured
