MORE ABOUT SILOS

Do and don't. A farmer with fewer than six head of cattle can hardly afford to build even a $40 silo. A farmer with from four to six cows and from six to twelve young stuff cannot afford to be without one if enough neighbors will join to- gether to buy a good silage cut ter. A small silage cutter is a nuisance and hard on a good mans religion.Send to Director Extension Service, Fayetteville or Little Rock, for bulletins on Homemade Silos and for infor- nation about cutters. Sorghum makes fine silage and gives more tonnage than corn.

SMOKEHOUSE ROBBED
 SATURDAY NIGHT
Thief Secures Good Supply of Bacon From Smokhouse at Mrs. Magness Residence.

Unkown parties entered Mrs. Mary Magness' smokehouse Saturday night and stole a quantity of meat, including two large hams and four middlings.
 The thief effected an en- trance by unlocking the lock on the door. and it seems that he was we'll supplied with keys, as there were two locks on the door and it is said that both were locked. One of the locks is an ordinary door lock, such as is usually edonresidences, and in addition to this the smokehouse door was fastened with a chain which was locked with a paddock.
 Early Sunday morning when the theft was discovered, Sher- if ]. F. McCuiston of Newport was requested to bring his bloodhounds. He and Deputy Hastings came up in a car, ar irving here about 10 o'clock with the hounds. The dogs inn mediately took up the trail at the smokehouse and followed it to the residence of Osery Powell. A search warrant was secured and Powell's house and premises were searched by the officers but nothing wasfound.
 No other clews have devel- oped and it very probable that the identity of the guilty par ties will never be known.

the Federal Government ought not go to all of the roads inthe country. It ought to be confin- ed to a system of interstate highways.
 This idea of restricting the federal participation in high way construction to system of main interstate trunk-lines to be located by an expert sur vey is now supported by the representation of many States and many Congressional Dis tricts. The opinion is growing that in this way such federal funds as are devoted to good roads construction Willbespent toward definite object, the highest economic results will be realized and the movement will be saved from eondemna- ton by the public on the

FEDERAL AID FOR
 SYSTEM GOOD ROADS
p;u Now Before Congress For System of Interstate High ways Meets With Favor

Washington, May 3.-Pro- vision for an investigation and report to Congress of a prellm- mary plan for a system of na- tional highways by the Corps of Engineers of the army IS made in a joint bill now pend ing before the Senate and House Committees on MilitaryAttalrs' The bill was introduced in the Senate by Senator John A. Shields ofTennessee and in the House by by Representative J. H. Small of North Carolina.
 In particular this bill embod- ies the principle of having con- dueted a scientific investigation and survey of the highway routes upon which federal funds are to be expended be- fore the work of construction is begun. It seeks, it is said, to prevent the hit or miss building of roads by the Federal Gov ernment which are located, not by expert surveys, but by
  local political influence-roads which begin anywhere within a State and end nowhere in par ticular. The danger of having Federal funds for good roads expended in such fashion has already caused the dangerous cry of pork to be raised in Congress when the good roads appropriation bills were under discussion.
 Under the terms of the Shields-Small bill, the Federal Government would devote its funds and energies solely to the construction of main or trunk-line highway units con meeting and correIating the highway systems within the States. Instead of providing funds to pay a part of the States bills on State roads. the Federal Government wouId take over, SO build and main. tain entirely. certain of the principal highways. That would relieve the States of a consid- erabIe part of theirpresentbur- den and would allow them to devote more money to the Of more miles of good roads radiating from the State highways, while town ships or individuals would build good roads feeding the county
