Better Roads For County Assured by
 Tractor urchase
Tractor Grader to be Purchas- ed on Approval Said to do Better Work at One-Fourth Cost of Men and Teams.

Last Saturday about 30 citizens met with County Judge Weaver at the court house for the pur- pose of talking over and decid- ing about purchasing a tractor road grader. Practically every one present was highly in favor of buying a tractor. Judge Weaver appointed the following committe to decide upon the matter: Joe Yunker, Theo Min den, c. H. Hiatt, Edgar Ander- son, J. M. Sadler, and L. E. Jetton. George D. Blair, repre- senting the Southwestern Sup ply Company, was present and submitted to the committee the price and qualifications of the Rumley tractor and Western grader. The cost of this tractor is about $2,70O and will, MT. Blair said, do better work at one- fourth the cost than teams and men would. It was first intend ed that the tractor should be bought by Charleston, Branch and Prairie townships, but as Branch was not represented at the meeting the committee or dered a tractor sent on approval for Charleston and Prairie town ships, and it Is expected to be here about August 18th.
 If the tractor-grader gives satisfaction and is purchased it can be rented to the neighboring townships, thereby being a great help to the townships besides enabling Prairie to get some of the purchase price back. Char leston Express.
 It is understood that the mat ter of purchase of similar ma chine for North Franklin will be taken up at a later date,

Jacoway Asks for Eight Cannon for
 Franklin County
Popular Congressman Wants Two for Ozark, T w o for Charleston and Four for Confederate Park.

A dispatch through the News Service Bureau of Washington, D. C., to The Spectator, states that Congressman H. M. Jaco- way is endeavoring to have the War Department furnish Ozark with two condemned cannon, Charleston with a like number and the Charleston Confederate Park with four, making a total of eight cannon for Franklin county. The dispatch follows:
 Washington, D. C., July 31- Taking Congressman Claude Kitchin of North Carolina, ma jority leader of the House, at his word that there will not be a public buildings appropriation bill passed in five years because of unprecedented expenditures for preparedness and that the the only use for a cannon thus appropriated for will be the adornment of the city parks throughout the country, Con- gressman H. M. Jacoway of the Fifth district and Congressman Thad H. Caraway have entered into a mad race to provide arma- ment for cities. towns and ham, lets of Arkansas. If the bills just introduced by the two Ark ansas congressman are passed the city squares and parks of Arkansas will soon be bristling with abandoned cannon.
 So far, Mir. Jacoway has the edge on MT. Caraway in the number of cannon that he would have sent to Arkansas. Mir. Jacoway has introduced bills authorizing the secretary of war to donate condemned bronze can non with carriages and outfits of cannon balls to the following Arkansas cities for use as park decorations:
 Morrilton. two; Russellville, two; Ozark, two; Charleston, two, and four additional to the Confederate park of that city; Atkins two; Plummerville, two; Conway. two; Plainview, two.
 Mir. Caraway would have the war department ship condemned cannon to the following Arkan- sas cities:
 Marianna. t w o; ParagOuld, two; Forrest City, two; Wynne, two; and to Mrs. John s. Horner, of Helena. two brass cannon for her lawn.

Advancein Cost of
 Paper Forces Sub-
 scription Collection
Price of Print Paper Jumps to 6 3-4 Cents per Pound Cut ting Profits on Newspaper Subscriptions.

To each of our subscribers: h. stead of allowing us profit on subscriptions to The Spectator, the recent increase in the price of paper and other raw material makes each yearly subscription actually costs us more than $l and in view of this we are put ting forth every effort to collect our money due on back subscrip- tions and want each of our sub- scribers, if possible, to pay in advance, however when request ed to do so, we will be pleased to continue the paper for one year on time, to be paid for at the end of the year.
 We are mailing out statements to those in arrears and if you should be the recipient of one, don't get mad at us-it's just like this-the wholesale pa- per houses have carried us in order that we might carry you for these two or three years and since the big advance and in- creasing scarcity of paper the wholesale houses are unable to carry us and we have to come to you for assistance. In other words, We need the money to pay our debts with. Of course the amount you owe us is small but i t will help a great deal. Just think of the hundreds of small accounts we have. All of them together amount to a con- siderable sum. We have only a few days to make our settlements in and especially request that you mail or bring us check to cover your account on or before Saturday of this week. We do not want you to think we are not willing to trust you any lon- ger-no it isn't that, we just simply are not able to. We'd gladly doi it if we could but we cannot do it under the circum- stances without increasing our capital stock.
 We are planning considerable improvement in The Spectator this fall and we believe you will greatly appreciate our efforts. To help us to make a better pa per we want you to offer any suggestions you might have at any time toward making The Spectator more interesting. Any suggestion will be welcome and if practical will be carried out. Get busy and see if you cannot think of some feature, change or department that would be a great improvement in The Spec tator, and don't forget in the meantime to help us all you pos sibly can for

ARKANSAS, FRIDAY, AUGUST II,
State Wins in South Franklin
 Dippin g C a s C
Jury in Justice Carter's Court Convicts and Assesses Fine of $l, Plus Costs Amounting to About $75.

As announced in last weeks Spectator the case of the State against J. P. Rider of Wittich township, came up Thursday in Justice l.. s. Carter's court in Hogan township. Defendant asked for jury and although it was stated that several of the jurymen were opposed to the dipping law, Rider was found guilty and assessed a fine of $1. which with the costs amounted to about $75. The case has been appealed to the circuit court. T. A. Pettigrew and Dave Par tain represented the defendant while Prosecuting Attorney J. D. Benson and J. P. Clayton, special enforcement officer. ap- peared for the state. State Veterinarian Cow, of Little Rock. was present at the trial.
 History of Case.
 Rider was arrested some two or three weeks ago for refusing to dip his cattle. Officer Me- Clellan had the cattle dipped at Riders expense. The case came up for hearing July 22nd before Justice B. M. Townsend, the defendant applying for a change of venue, which was granted. The case was taken before Jus tice J. F. Law, of Wittich town ship who also granted a change of venue, the case then going to Justice Robert l.. Jones. Jones dismissed the case and imme- diately Rider was re-arrested on a warrant issued by L. s. Carter of Denning before whom defend ant was tried last Thursday.
 Ticks to Exit by Fall.
 According to Superintendent of the Tick Eradication Work, Mcdonald. 1t is the plan of the department to completely rid Franklin county of the cattle tick by the advent of winter and raise the quarantine. Every effort is being bent in this direc- tion.
 Eradication Fund Boosted.
 Congressman H. M. Jacoway of the Little Rock district, a member of the House Committee on Agriculture, is an enthusiast on the question of the eradica- tiOn of the cattle tick, and in response to requests from Moor head Wright of Little Rock, head of the State Livestock As sociation. and George McGow of Little Rock, head of the State Veterinary Department. asking that the appropriations for tick eradication be increased, an- nounced today that the appro- priation as agreed upon by the Senate and House conferees on the agricultural appropriation bill totaled $642, 900 for tick eradication. this amount being an increase of $2OO,O 900 over the amount carried in the bill last year. The agricultural depart ment has assured MT. Jacoway that everything possible will be done to give additional help to Arkansas in the campaign for the eradication of the cattle tick. A proportionate share of the $642. 900 appropriation will be allotted to Arkansas for the pur- poses of dipping cattle and the eradication of the tick, which has cost the livestock raisers of the country millions of dollars annually. -Arkansas Gazette.
