|SBELL A BOOSTER
FOR BETTER ROADS
Says Good Roads Would De-
velop Country And Make
People Prosperous.

Editor Record have been liv-
ing in Arkansas a little better than
three years now, and during that
time have watched with eagerness
the development and improvements
of this part of our state. am Ger.
tainly proud to say that | can see
things changing. New dwellings,
barns and new fields are beginning
to dot our country, and new indus
tries are starting up.
By reading and listening | see
that the good people are determined
to have good roads and good bridges.
This is certainly gratifying to one
and all, and trust that the level
heads who are constantly at work
to bring about good roads to this
section will never give up the battle
until we have the right kind Of
roads. When we have once secur.
ed good roads we shall see such de-
velopment as was never before
witnessed in the state. Good roads
mean more and will bring about
more good to any country than any
other thing. We shall never be the
people we ought to be and our coun-
try will never be the country 1t
ought to be until we have good
roads, and until we Get out Of the
deep sleep we are in and that this
country has been in for the many
gone-by centuries and 90 to work
and secure the roads, our opinion Is
we are going to be badly the losers.
Everybody wants railroad. That
certainly would be a nice thing, but
stop and think, will youY Do we
think any company Is liable to put
out It's money to build a railroad
through section that Is In no
shape to offer II any considerable
business; a country with no roadsY
1t will not. Let us 90 to work in
solemn earnest, every man Of us,
for good roads first, and let's not
stop until we Oct them.
Go to any country that has good,
graded. well-built roads and see II
you do not find a prosperous coun-
try, Look at each mans farm as
you pass along, look at his barn and
residence, all In good shape and
painted, You do not see his fields
cut into o checker board with neg
lected washes, his fencing covered
up In growing bushes and briers
Talk with the formers talk with
their renters, You will find them

TO GET THE GOLD
 WE MUST HAVE ROADS

And to get the roads we must show that we must have them. The need for good transportation facilities il- lustrated by word and picture in the Pictorial edition of the Nugget Mining and Dredging Journal, how in course of preparation, is one of the features of the publication and copy mailed to the congressman of your home state or some other person of influence will help in getting them.

A certified copy of the act has been received by Governor Strong but no other word from either the war de- partment or the president has been re- cived by him.
 The number oI men to be enlisted in the national guard of the territor- ies shall be determined by the presi- dnt, and until some word is received from Washington, nothing can be done towards the organization of the Alas ka national guard.
 There has been a demand for a na tional guard organization in Alaska for some time, but under the old regu- lation it was impossible. When Cover nor Strong was east this summer he urged that Alaska be included in the preparedness bil then being prepared by Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon and his request was granted As soon as the appropriations have been appor- toned between the states and terri tories. Il ndthe numerical strength of the. guard of Alaska is determined, undoubtedly Governor Strong will be authorized to proceed with the organi- zation.
 Governor Strong has said that the law as passed provides for the organ iZation of the national guard and that he is only awaiting the word from Washington to proceed.

WAR NEWS

You may have noticed while reading as much war news as formerly. This is due to the tremendous expense the press associations are put to by the enormously extended battle fronts in Europe to which has been added the long Mexican border where men have to be kept as something may begin to pop at any minute, and to the great increase in cable tolls.
 The greatest jump in expense has been in cable tolls. During the first year of the Wor all press matter was sent from London at the Western Un- ion press rate of seven cents a word, or the Commercial Company's rate of ten cents a word, and where formerly news feature was generally sent via the Western Union deferred rate of five cents a word, it is now necessary to full rate every news disaptch with time value-at a cost of cents a wordd. These full rate cables require from two to four hours transmission just about the same time formerly required by ordinary press cables.
 Every bit of competitive news must now be filed full rate'--twenty five cents a word. This applies to London and London is the big clearing house of European news.
 The French cable company has sim ply abandoned entirely it's former press rate of ten cents a word for transmission from Paris to New York. The minimum is now twenty five cents q word, and on this type of cable al most any delay in transmission is to be handled 'urgent'-thirtyo-n cents a word-to insure speedy delivery.
 All press associations handle the bulk of their Berlin news by tele- e,.Dle to London, and then with re- filing to New York. The German cable sioPh to by IIOSS before it was cut al the outset of the Mil, transmitted stuff at press rate oi seven cents a word. The German wireless now handles a very few stories at twenty five cents a.word, plus a land charge of cent and a half word from Sayville to New York, but because of it's own needs the German government permits only the briefest dispathes, and the most important, to be filed in this manner.
 Therefore nearly all Berlin stuff arrives in New York at cost of about thirty-four cents word-four cents from Berlin to Holland, five cents from Holland to London, and twenty five cents from London ot New York.
 The Italian cables are notoriously slow, and full rating at thirty eight cents a word, is necessary to insure any sort of delivery"

Military saIuts,s oriain.

The military salute had curious origin, if tradition is to be believed. It Is said that 1t originated in the days of the tournament, at which queen of beauty was chosen to preside. The knights and their esquires and all who took part in the tourney, on presenting themselves before the queen lifted each one hand level, with the brows as though dazzled by the light of her presence. A nicely thought out com pliment this, and, though its signii- canoe Is now forgotten, the natural dignity of the gesture has preserved 1t as an everyday mark of recognition of a superior rank.-London Chronicle.
