ST. PATR|CKS DANCE
A BIG SUCCESS

The ST. Patrick's Ball at the Brad
ley Opera House last night was a huge
success socially and financially.
Nearly three hundred tickets were
sold, and despite the fact that consid-
cradle expense was necessary for
decorating, music, etc, sum consid-
cradle above 800 was cleared for the
Catholic church building fund.
The hall was artistically decorated,
green of course, prevailing, but our
own national colors were by no means
overlooked Old Glory occupied a
prominent place across the rear end
of the hall.
All present had most enjoyable
time. The festivities did not cease
until two o'clock in the morning.
The ladies having the affair in
charge deserve great credit for their
efforts. We are told that une lady
sold ninety tickets.

Henry Weaver, a farmer re- siding near Hammond, Indian na, fell from a tree he was trimming and landed on a pig, breaking it's back. Weaver sus- tained two broken legs. The commotion startled his horse which in turn frightened a colt. This colt jumped a fence and ran into fence with a clothes line fastened to a post. The post was hurled through the air with such force that it killed a COW. The eclt ran on and sus- tained fatal injuries on a barb ed wire fence. When a veter- marian arrived to attend the colt, he ran over and killed Weaver's dog.

It always has been true; 1t is true today; it always will be true that he is greatest who does the most of good.

 And how this old earth will be transformed when his meas ure of greatness is the measure of every life. We have had our conflicts, because we have been trying to see how much we could get from each other; there will be peace when we are trying to see how much we can do for each other. We have had our combats because we have been trying to see how much we could get of the world; there will bepeace when we are trying to see how much we can put into the world. The human measure of a human life is it's income; the divine measure of a human life is it's outgo-its gverflow-its con- tribution to the welfare of the world.

Every citizen of the rural community should feel that it is privilege for him to have part in every good move for education and generalprogress. Each should be anxious to do what he can to help advance the community.
 The community is entitled to some time and money. No one has a right to get the protec- ton of organized society with out contributing in turn to the people who make this protec- tion possible.
 In addition to the laws of the land and the duties of state and national government, each citi- zen owes something to the neighborhood in which he lives. There are social requirements that should not be overlooked. There are enterprises for the benefit of the neighborhood that will require contributions in labor or money. Usually when all do their part these enter prises have q tendency to build up the neighborhood in socia- bility and neighborly kindness. Only those who refuse to do their part lose. Willingness to do, and interest in the work, and not the size of the contri- button, will be the estimate.
 The satisfaction one has in contributing his time and means to help others is indeed a great reward. And we cannot afford to deprive ourselves of this reward because our income is not great or our contribution small.-Farm and Ranch.

$492,OOO NEEDED TO
 GET FEDERAL FUNDS
Legislature Will be Asked to Make Appropriation So State
 May Get Road Funds

Little Rock, Dec. 1.-The coming session of the Arkansas legislature, will have to ap- propriate $492,000 to partici- pate during 1917 and 1918 in distribution of the S85,000,0O0 federal appropriation for good roads, according to w. B. Ow- en, State Highway Commission CT, who, with Hugh k. Carter, State highway engineer return ed yesterday from St. Louis, where they participated in a conference between State high way officials and representa- tives of the United States de- partment of agriculture, under whose jurisdiction the federal fund can be handled.
 MT. Owens said that by us- ing the present revenue derived from automobile taxes, the ap- propriation could be made by the legislature without increas- ing taxation and without mak- ing a new tax levy.
 The federal government, MT. Owen said, would give Arkan- sas $82,000 for 1916, which al- lotment already is available ; S164, 1000 for 1917, and $246,- 900 for 1918, providing ap- propriations for like amounts were made by the State and providing the State guaranteed maintenance of roads con- structed through joint expen- allure of the two funds.
 Officials of the government insisted that no state would re- ceive any of the general ap- propriation unless the respec- tive State showed it's good faith by meeting requirements of the law and making appropriations for amounts equaling the fed eral allotment" said MT. Ow- en. Any state not taking ad- vantage of the federal appro- priation will lose that amount, as their share will revert to the fund and be available for dis tribution among the other states.
 "The legislature also will be required to designate a road system for the work. The fed eral government will not tol- crate 'piece-meaP work, but will make it mandatory that the roads constructed be through roads or parts of a system"
 The federal government will allow the States to use convict labor in constructing the roads, MT. Owen said, and will allow convict labor to be used in- stead of part of the State ap- propriation. The State will be allowed only the exact cost of maintenance of the convicts, and none for their work.
 The automobile tax this year produced approximately $780, 900, and has shown a steady increase during the last three years, One half of the tax now goes to the respective counties, but does not go into good road funds. Under a ruling of Wal lace Davis, attorney general, money retained by the coun- ties as their share of their au- tomobile taxes goes into the county general fund.
 By amendment of automo- bile tax law, dlvertlng the en- tire tax into a State fund, the legislature could have avail able a fund from which the necessary appropriations could be made. A new tax levy would be of no benefit until 1918, when it's first revenues would be obtained"
 Arkansas total share of the federal fund, if the State meets requirements of the law, will be S1, ,500,000.A similaramount making a total of $3,000,000 would have to be appropriated hU tho Stata

SIMPLE RULES FOR FIGURES
Remembering These, One May Always
Be Sure as to the Divisibility
of Numbers.

It is often convenient to know
whether a given number is divisib!e
by another without going through the
usual process of division. Almost eV-
eryone knows that, however large a
number may be, it is divisible by 5
IL the last digit is 5 or o.. The follow
ing gives the rule for some other num-
bers:
A number is Invisible by 2 when the
last digit is divisible by 2; by three
when the sum of the digits is Invisible
by 3: by . when the number repre-
scented by the last two digits is divis-
ible by 4; by 5 when the number ends
in 5 or o.; by 6 when it is diyisible by
2 and also by 8; by s when the num-
Der represented by the last three dis
its Is Invisible by 8: by 9 when the
sum OF the digits is divisible by 9.
For example: The number lips Is
dIvisible by 2, because its last digit, 8.
is divisible by Q; by 4, because rs is
divisible by A. and by s, because 72S
is Invisible by s. 1t is also divisible
by 3 and by 9, for the sum of its digits
total IS, a number divisible by 3 and
by 8. Since it is Givlsible by 2 and
by 8, it is also Invisible by 6.
To find whether a number is divis'
ible by 7, you must go through the
usual process of divis ion.-Youth's
