Coleman Announces
For Reelection

The announcement of Judge
Dene H. Coleman as candi-
date for reelection as circuit
Judge appears in today's paper.
Judge Coleman was appoint
ed to this position several
months ago BY Gov. Hays tofill
the vacancy caused BY the re-
signation Of Judge Jeffrey.
The opinion seems to be un-
animous that Judge Coleman
has made a splendid Judge, and
that he has fully measured up
to all the requirements incident
to the fair and impartial hand
ling Of the many cases coming
before the court since he has
been on the bench.
Few men are better known
in this district than Judge Cole
man. He WIS born and reared
in independence county, and
has been actively engaged in
the practice Of law at Batesville
for Is ears.HaVing fully prov
on his ability 20 discharge the
duties of tbs important posi-
ton IN an able, fair and expedi-
tioQs manner, and having con-
Quoted the courts in such aman-
.ner as to save much of the enor-
nous expenses incident thereto,
It naturally follows that Judge
Coleman will have a formid-
able following in his race for
reelection.

High Water Equals August
Stage When All Records For
This Section Were Broken.

The only way to do anything
with White river is forthe legis-
lature to pass a law forbidding
1t getting 'full," and make the
penalty SO great that if it gets
tanked up again it will have to
change its course and run
through Oklahomy.
The rise this week, the Sec
ond record breaker within six
months, equaled the one of last
August, but does not begin to
compare with the August over
flow in damage done.
Batesville reports stage of
38. last Monday morning.
which is about seven inches
higher than the August over
flow.
Newport reports a stage of
34.3 which is higher than was
reached in August. the Aug
ust stage at Newport being
1873.
Notwithstanding the higher
stages reported from boththese
points, the water lacked nine
inches reaching as high point
at Newark as it did in August.
There is no river gauge here,
but permanent marks made by
interested parties on the New
ark Lumber Company's brick
building which was flooded
each time, show that the water
here lacked nine inches reach

ust.
Considerable damage was
done, but the loss is light, as

Good Roads in New York.

railway evolution. The right of way for the highway lies between two fences 60 feet, more or less, apart. Economy is attained by building the permanent highway one-half as wide, leaving the balance of the dirt road for the present as before.
 In railroading it Is an axiom that the capacity of q single track of rail way with sufficient switches and uni form speed of trains is practically un- limited. In CuyahOga county, Ohio, hundreds of miles of permanent coun- try roads of narrow widths are being built, using special type of brick which is produced cheaply in that To- cality for the surface, set upon ce- ment foundations. Future genera tions may widen these country auto tracks if they so desire. But they will act more wisely if they invest the money in an equal number of miles of new narrow roads of permanent construction to act as feeders.
 A 12-foot permanent road is pass able, summer and winter, for the har- vest loads. The dirt road lies to one side of the new trackway just as be- fore. The country needs thousands of miles of narrow roads of perma- nent construction, intersecting as feed CTS with the wider main lines and trunk lines. Such feeders need not be wider than F feet. The advantages are plain. Not only are such roads passable summer, fall, winter and spring for the harvest loads, but they are also permanent.
 And, above all, they are state and municipal undertaking, and not sub- | ject for federal endowment.-Wall l Street Journal.

CONVERSATIONS

PatroImen Purtell and Mahoney and Building Inspector Corcoran of An sonia. Conn.,, claim to have seen par rot which manicured its nails with penknife. While these men watched, this bird picked up the knife from the bottom of its cage and, holding it In its mouth. carefully scraped its toes on the blade. When this was done to the parrots satisfaction it dropped the knife.
 Two infant humming birds, the mother of which was accidentally killed. are being brought up by hand at the home of Mir. and Mrs. Samuel Renn. founders of Aberdeen, Wash. The birds now are about grown. The Benns have fed them on honey. and they have become so tame that aftes being freed for the day they return ,o the Benn home at night for shelter. For the first time in the history of great lakes navigation. iron ore is be- ing loaded at the Ashland (Wis.) docks. into the steamer Cicoa by the aid of giant magnets thus doing away wholly with the use of long. sAoremen's labor.

Tabloid AeropIanes.

The British reason, quite logically. that the smaller the aeroplane and the faster it can fly the less danger of it's being hit by shots fired from earth. So the British airmen favor an unusu- ally small machine, which they call the tabloid" A very light frame is fit ted with an So-hOrse power motor, which will drive the frail machine through the air at the rate of 100 miles an hour. The engine is covered with armor. The aviator seeking to drop a bomb on the enemy approaches his target at height of 5000 feet When straight above it he turns the nose of his machine straight down and drops at terrific speed. When within 600 feet of the target he drops his bombs as quickly as possible and then shoots skyward at a tremendous pace.

ROAD : BUILDING
NEED OF STANDARD METHODS
Roads Should Be Classified on Basic of Density of Traffic Into Main
 Lines and Feeders.

Standardized methods of road con struction and q standard system of classifying highways are needed. No system of classifying highways is bet ter than that of traffic density. It is highly desirable that careful counts should be instituted by state highway officials to determine the present main routes of travel. Just as in railroad evolution, density of traffic deter. mines the amount of investment, so highways should be classified on the basis of density of traffic into trunk lines. main lines and feeders.
 In railrOading, light traffic is han dled by a single line of track with switches; main line traffic is handled by double tracks. Trunk lines ham, ding heavy traffic are sometimes four tracked, six tracked and even eight tracked.
 The solution reached in the con- structiOn of permanent country roads around Cleveland is instructive. It is similar to the solution followed in

What inc Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO
 INSURE HEALTH.

Few people realize to what extent their health depends upon the condition of the kidneys.
 The physician in nearly all cases of serious illness. makes chemical andy. SIS of the patients urine. He knows that unless the kidneys are doing their work properly, the other organs cannot readily be brought back to health and strength.
 When the kidneys are neglected or abused in any way, serious results are sure to follow. According to health sta- tistics, Bright's Disease, which IS really m advanced form of kidney trouble, caused nearly ten thousand deaths in one year, in the State of New York alone. Therefore, 1t is particularly necessary to pay more attention to the health of these important organs.
 An ideal herbal compound that has had remarkable success as a kidney remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
 The mild and healing influence of this preparation. in most cases, is soon real. ized. according to sworn statements and verified testimony of those who have used the remedy.
 When your kidneys require attention. get Swamp-Root at once from any phar- macy. It is sold by every druggist in bottles of two sizes-5Nc and Sl.0U.

lustration Is an attractive exaInl le Of the rustic type. The architect had found happy combination of details in this design and the result Is shown in both the exterior appearance and in the arrangement of rooms. Large cob blestone pillars give the front of the house unique appearance. The chim- ney carries out the idea very effec- lively. The low roof is a combined hip and gable type with exposed sup ports, well adapted to this type of house. The pergola effect of the porch, with the pleasing decorative ends of the timbers carried through the de- sign, even to the decoration placed on the short column at the corner of the house, adds a great deal to the general attractiveness of the little home. The gable is decorated with wide boards or siding strips which have a decora- tive design cut in each board. Many details of finish have been worked out in a way which gives this little rustic bungalow an appearance rather dif- ferent from the ordinary.
 In the room arrangement and atten- ton to interior details the same thor oughnesS has been observed. The liv- ing room is entered from the front porch. This room has large fireplace. ilanked with bookcases, built along the side wall. The fireplace may be made in any way which is suited to the style of finish that is decided upon for this room. A very striking and aIiiStiC effect may Dc secured hv bnild- ing the fireplace of cobblestOnes such as are used in the construction of the exterior chimney and pillars at the front of the house. The combination Ot the living room with the little den is a very attractive arrangement. If the Len is to be used at times as a spare bedroom, sliding door may be built between it and the living room. It will, of course, be more attractive with just cased opening between the two rooms. The many windows in this little nook will make it like q sun parlor and consequently a part of the house which will, perhaps, be used more than any other.
 The dining room is a front room open to the living room. The buffet is built against the wall opposite the

Let Them All Come!

Said a North Carolina minister, Rev. A. c. Hamby, the other day: ''The old-time minister helped to build this nation, first, by fine personality and fine life; second, by building a home that sert out sons and daughters with characters like his own; and, third. by an active interest in schools and culture" There are old-time ministers living today and they are helping in the same way to keep the nation in the right paths. But the whole country would be glad of a wholesale addition to their ranks. The nation needs more of their sort Houston Post.

then, for the architect to find the prop CT combination of all the possibilities which exist, in order to match the pie ture formed as an image in the mind of the home-builder.
 One of the styles which have been established in bungalow design, and one which makes a strong appeal to a great many people, is the rustic type. This type embodies the infusion of the architecture of nature into the archi- lecture of man. It implies the use of some natural building material applied In such a way that the suggestion of the big out-of-doors surrounds the home. The purpose is absolutely de- feated If such house is built on a narrow lot. A wide lot upon which sufficient time and effort have been spent to adapt 1t to the house is neces- sary for the full realization of the ad- vantages of this design. Shrubs, vines, trees and f1wer beds must be placed with care and selected with a pur- pose to harmonize with the color scheme of the bungalow. The rustic bungalow < seen in its most appro. priate frame when 1t Is placed on e small country estate where the natural growth of trees may be taken advan' tage of in laying out the lawn.

WIDE WAGON TIRES FAVORED
Oklahoma Adopted Measure After Con- siderable Study of Road Cues
 tion-Most Economical.

Oklahoma, when 1t drafted Its new road legislation, provided penalty for using wagons of two tons or more ca- pacity that do not have at least three inch tires. The measure was adopted after a considerable study of the road question. Dealers who sell vehicles which do not come up to the state re- quirement make themselves liable for a fine of not less than 8 nor more than S25 for each wagon sold.
 Tests by the federal roads depart ment indicate that the hree-inch tire is the most economical for farmers. In- stead of being destructive to roads, 1t helps to make them better. Narrow tired wagons, which are universally common, are very hard on roads.

opening of the living room and may be seen from the other side of the house. A dOuble-acting door leads to the kitchen. This room Is square, well lighted and pleasant. It is equipped with cupboards and a sink; the rear entry and pantry form two annex rooms which may be used to help very materially in performing the tasks as- sociated with this part of the house.
 4 hall extends back from the living room through the center of the house. A closet, the pantry, the cellar stairs, the bathroom, two bedrooms and the sleeping porch all may be entered from this hall. The sleeping porch is a feature in home construction which is becoming more popular all the time. Many people who live In older houses feel that the sleeping porch is one of the modern fads which will soon disap- pear, but anyone who has lived in house which includes a sleeping porch in its room arrangement will not con slider a house which does not include one in its design. It cannot be disput- ed that an abundance of good fresh air Is an absolute necessity to rest | full slumber. There are seven large
 windows in the sleeping porch at the
 rear of this rustic bungalow, and this
 assures a condition as near the limit of real out-of-doors as 1t is necessary ] to come.
 The interior is entirely in keeping I with modern ideas in home design. | Convenience and comfort have been
 the strong outstanding factors in the
 design, and worked in with these is
 the effort to make this house as health full home as 1t is possible to pro- vide, from the standpoint of the ar chitect. At the same time a lucky combination of details has rendered 1t
 very attractive from an artistic stand
 point.
