co. HEIGHTS UNDER
 TAKES STREET IMPROVEMENT

Little Rock. Aug. 30.-One of the largest street improvement districts ever undertaken in the city is just be- ing projected in Pulaski Heights, the fashionable suburb in the Northwest part of Little Rock. It provides for an asphaltic-macadam pavement on fifty blocks, and about 60 blocks of sidewalk, besides storm sewer that will take care of excess water on a large area of the residential district There are 3S5 lots involved. The paw ing will cost about S32,000, and the sidewalk about $2O,0OO. There has already been about $16,000 worth of grading done on the streets, and the sidewalks will be graded by the city, which will reduce the cost of the inn provement. It will be done by im- provement district plan.

ARE YOU A PARTNER HERE?

Georgia, which has gone dry, now comes in and proposes to collect ten cents on each package of whiskey that comes the mail-order route. From this she will pile up great revenue, and pretty soon that will be used as a wedge to open further mail order road 1t will be shown that by shipping in a quart week the reve- nue is so much, therefore why not allow two quarts week and thus reap a harvest. It was the old argu- ment that you couldn't run schools without licensed barrooms-but we Hote the barrooms are gone and we note also that schools are increasing.
 The way to make prohibition most effective is to refuse to take the hush money of whiskey. Refuse to allow 1t to pay any kind of privilege tax, and pretty soon it will be recognized as the dirty outcast that it is.- NiNNAiSbNlR 'dllN ICNutQ.
 The state or government which li- censes the whiskey business becomes a co-partner in all it's evil, and every citizen, by reason of the fact of his citizenship in such q state or com mumty, Is co-partner in the whiskey traffic He shares in the money paid Tor licenses, and he helps to bear the burden of the fearful curse that whis- Key puts upon any community in which lt,eNists. Until men and wo- men realize that so long as the com mumty Tn which they live licenses the whlSkey traffic in any form they are ulrectly co-partners and, to that ex- tent, responsible for all the crime, for all the murder and for all the rotten ness brought into their communities Oy whlskey it will be difficult to blot out completely, as should be done, this hdeScnhabIe curse which hangs around the neck of humanity.
 Let it never be forgotten, if your community is licensing the whiskey "allc' that you, as an individual or as citizen of that community, are a partner in the whiskey business, and must bear your share of responsibil- ny m all these evils.

STRIKE DEVELOPMENTS.

Washington, Aug. 29.-A summary .ot developments in the strike situa- tion follows:
 Negotiations between the railroads and the brotherhoods through Presi- dent Wilson were definitely broken off.
 The brotherhood leaders definitely ordered the strike to begin at 2 a. m., Labor Day, unless the order is coun- termanded, and declared that only a settlement favorable to the men could change it.
 President Wilson prepared to go be- fore Congress in joint session at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon with proposals for new laws to prevent the strike The latest authentic outline of the proposals is as follows:
 Increase of the Interstate Commerce Commission from seven to nine mem- bers.
 An eight-hour law for railroad en- ployes in actual interstate transpor- tation.
 To empower the Federal board of to fully investigate opera tion of an eight-hour day on railroads.
 To empower the Interstate Com- merce Commission to consider the eight-hour day in connection with rates.
 A measure similar to the Canadian industrial disputes act for an investi- gation of all disputes between rail roads and their employees.
 A measure empowering the presi- dent to operate trains with the pri- mary object of providing the Ameri- can troops on the Mexican border with food.
 The brotherhood leaders favor the eight-hour day features but oppose the proposal to adopt the Canadian plan.
 The proposal of the railroads, framed last Friday and unofficially published at the time, that pending an investigation of the controversy the Interstate Commerce Commission keep accounts of operations based on the eight-hour day and the ten-hour day and later make an award, was formally communicated to the men this morning. They gave every evi- dence of rejecting it, as had been ex- pected.

X GOOD PASTURE.

A farmer near Forrest City has a 12-acre permanent pasture on which he pastured from April 1, 1915, to October h, 1915, 90 cows, , horses and 12 sows and their pigs. This IS one of the greatest pasture reports ever sent to the Extension Office Of the University of Arkansas and u. .. Department of Agriculture at Little Rock. This statement was verified by many neighbors. The pasture has Bermuda grass for its base with bur clover. white clover, hop clover and Lespedeza, thus giving pasture Tor practically the whole year Stock had been kept on this particular pasture every day for seven years. The farm CT stated in a public meeting recently that these 12 acres had produced more money for him than any 30 acres on his farm.

 "Once, in entirely good faith. a well-known theatrical manager was complaining to friend of the bad business one of his attractions was experiencing. He was endeavoring to impress his colleague with the futilitv of sending productions on tour.
 "You can't imagine how low ou,, receipts fell yesterday in a one-night stand" he declared.
 "How low were they?" asked the friend.
 "Nine dollars" replied the man. ager.
 "He had exaggerated by two dol lars. The receipts were actually sev- en dollars. Force of habit-he just couldn't help it."

RAPE FOR PIGS

Every farmer who expects to carry over a few pigs for the winter should plant within the next two weeks a patch ofrape for winter pasture. Rape planted before the middle of Septem- Der will furnish pasture for at least three months and farmers will be sur prised at the number of pigs that can be pastured on an acre. Do not buy feed when it can be grown" should be the motto of every farmer. Ar kansas buys too much pork when we can grow pork cheaper here than the farmers of any of the northern states.
