Board of District No. 13 Awards Contracts for
 Work Yesterday.
SIMMONS BANK BUYS
 BOND ISSUE AT PAR
With $16,500 Received from Sale of Securities, Board Arranges to Put Down Mile and Half of Asphaltic
 Pavement on Gravel Base.

WOrk Is expected to start today on the foundation for the pavement to be laid from the present terminus of the Cherry street paving to the Pine Bluff Golf and Country club, the con- missioners of Road Improvement dis trict No. 13 yesterday having awarded the contract for grading and gravel ing the highway to c. B. Philpot, and the contract for the asphaltic top to R: Mobley of Argenta. The work will cost approximately 75 cents per square foot, and when completed the street will be one of the best, as we'll as one of the least expensive in the state.
 The length of the street will be approximately one and one-half miles, of which one mile will be parked. The paving is to be of the new type that has proved so popular in Memphis and other cities, and which is being used extensively at Stuttgart. It is practically the same as the usual asphalt pavement, except that con- crete base is dispensed with and the surface rock and asphaltic coating are laid separately instead of being mixed. It is known as the penetration method, because the first layer of two inches of rock is laid on the gravel base and the asphalt, heated to 300 degrees, is forced into all the crevices by the use of spray pumps, making solid mass. An inch layer of screened rock is then put down, more asphaltum binding, and then a coat ing of sand. The street is then rolled smooth. It is claimed that the method almost dispenses with dust, the pave ment is durable and the maintenance cost small, particularly because the repairs may be made at such small cost, no expert labor being required. The new street will be approximate ly 30 feet wide from the southern end of the parkway to it's terminus, the width to be determined by the amount of money at the boards com mand. The park strip is to be 10 feet wide, and the driveway on each side 10 feet. The base of Benton gravel probably will extend few feet fur ther to form gutter Efforts will be made to keep the park strip attrac- tive at all seasons.

UNION MEN DRIVEN
 FROM MINING TOWN
Armed NOn-UniOn Guards Compel Councilmen of Rosiclair, Illinois,
 to Resign.

Springfield, Ill.,, Aug. 1.-Armed non-union men are ordering union men to leave Hardin county, where a strike is in progress at the Rosi- claire lead mine, according to tele- gram received late today by Governor l,unne from J. H. Picketts, mayor of Rosiclair. Governor Dunne immedi- ately ordered Col. R. J. Shand, assist ant adjutant-general, and James F. Morris, secretary of the state mining board, to Rosiclaire to investigate.
 A short time later another mes sage came stating the guards put on by the sheriff of Hardin county have ordered the city police to surrender their authority, and also ordered the ccuncilmen to resign. Mayor Ricketts said the councilmen did resign. He asked the governor for advice.
 The developments were sequel to a shooting affray yesterday in which three men were wounded, two prchably fatally. The orders to move were delivered to all unionists today and all except a few obeyed the warn ing, according to refugees arriving at Elizabethtown, many with their families.

LOOKS LIKE BEER; TASTES LIKE IT,
 BUT ISN'T BEER
Instant Popularity Greets "Bevo," New Anheuser-
 Busch Product.

Instant popularity has been the for tune of "BeVo,' new beverage put out by the Anheuser-B Busch Brewing company-a beverage that looks like beer, tastes like beer and seems like beer, except there isn't a comeback. i For "BeVo" is a non-intoXlcant, con- taining less than onc- fourth of one per cent of alcohol.
 In this connection, G. Wenzlicl, rep resenting the brewing company, who has been here for several days intro ducing "Bevo" and finding no diff culty therein, tells a humorous incl dent. He says:
 "Recently William Marion Reedy, editor of ths Mirror, who has abstain ed from all forms of inoxicants for the last two and a half years, was at Sunset Inn, and number of beer bot ties were filled with 'Bevo' and served as beer. Reedy was put onto the joke and began to drink copiously of what appeared to be beer. At once his | friends demonstrated with him, but l Reedy kept it up, to their dlsmay Finally they were told that for two hours they had been drinking 'Bevo' under the impression that it was beer."
 "Bevo" is distributed locally by the Arkansas & Texas Consolidated Ice company, which has already stocked practically every soft drink establish ment in the city, and the demand al ready created presages that the popularity of the beverage will grow constantly. In announcing the coming of "Bevo," a Chicago paper says: Y.
 "For the last two years and a half the officers of the Anheuser-Buseh Brewing association have been work ing on a nonintoxicating beverage which would taste like beer, contain practically the ingredients of beer, but which had alcohol eliminated.
 "They have produced a so-called soft drink, called 'Bevo,' which is put up in a package different from the or dinary beer bottle and is now being placed on sale in drug sores and other places where soft drinks are sold.
 "The beverage was first submitted to the United States authorities for examination, for introduction into army and navy posts, and there met the approval of the navy and war de- partments and is now used in the can teen.
 "Recently applications were made by local dealers to sell the beverage in the playgrounds and public parks where soft drinks are sold The matter was referred to Chairman Tolkacz of the committee on Public safety, and his committee referred it to Health Com missioner Starkloff, who had an analysis made of the beverage. :,
 "City Chemist Thomas A. Buckland reported to Health Commissioner starkloff yesterday that 'Bevo' con tained 2O-1OOth of 1 per cent of alco- hol by weight and 25-100th of 1 per cent by volume and was therefore non alcoholic. The report will be submit- ted to the park commissioner.
 "The government requires tax of S1. 50 barrel to be paid on all bev- erages containing over per cent alec hol. The average beer sold in St. Louis contains more than 4 per cent. This beverage, therefore, does not pay an internal revenue tax and is not con trolled by the government"

RICE ACREAGE IN ARKANSAS SHOWS
 A B|G INCREASE
Louisiana and California AL so Growing More; Texas
 Acreage Drops.

Rice acreage in Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas is 6.2 per cent greater this year than in 1915, according to the preliminary estimate issued yes terday by the Southern Ri;e Grow CTS association, says the Beaumont (Texas) Enterprise. The estimate was prepared by E. A. Eignus, secre- tary and general manager of the as- !sociation, and made pdblic at the annual stockholders meeting of the association held yesterday. Texas alone of the three states shows re- duction in acreage. both Arkansas and Louisiana showing marked in- crease, with Louisiana leading in the increased acreage. Texas shows a decrease of 22, S74 acres, while Lou isiana shows an increase of 40,544,
 and Arkansas an increase of 2S,602 acres this year over last. The total increase for the year in the three states is 46,272 acres, or 6.2 per cent.

CALOMEL MAKES
 YOU SICK, UGH!
uDodson's Liver TOne' better than
 cal0mel and can not saliyate

Calomel loses you day! You know what calomel is. It's mercury; quick silver. Calomel $ dangerous. It crashes into sour bile like dynamite, cramping and sickening you. Calo- mel attacks the bones and should never be put into your system.
 When you feel bilious, sluggish, constipated and all knocked out and believe you need dose of dangerous calomel just remember that your druggist sells for 30 cents a large bot tie of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is entirely vegetable and pleasant to take and is a perfect substitute for calomel. It is guaranteed to start your liver without stirring you up inside, and can not salivate.
 Don't take calomel It makes you sick the next day; it loses you days work. Dodson's Liver Tone straigh- tens you right up and you feel great. Give it to the children because it is perfectly harmless and doesn't gripe.

Increase for the year 46,272.
 The estimate issued by the associa- ton places the rice acreage in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Atlantic coast states and California at SGS,172 for the year 1916. The government estimate issued July 9 places the acreage at 910,000. and the millers' estimate issued July ', places the acreage at S79,366.
 There were 797,0o0 acres in rice last year in the area covered by the associations report, compared to 969,172 acres this year. California showed the greatest increase in acre age, the acreage this year being more than doubled when compared to that of last year in that state. Only 9300O acres were planted in rice in California last year, while 7OO00 acres are planted ill rice this year.
 Explaining the reduced acreage in Texas this year Mr. Eignus said at least 25 per cent of the reduced acre age was traceable to the fact that the Port Arthur canal is not in oper- ation. This places fourth of the reduced cultivation in the state in Jefferson county. Also Matagorda county failed to plant the large acre age this year which it generally puts in.
 The statement of the acreage as is sued by the association follows:

 The board was enabled to get the improvement without the amount at it's command through the cooperation of County Judge c. M. Philpot, who. in accord with his policy of encourag- ing the building of improved high ways, agreed the county would furnish the culverts needed. It is pointed out that this is good business policy, for the building of a good road re- lieves the county of the expense of maintaining a dirt road.

Early Panama.

The first permanent settlement in
the new world was esta blished at Pan
anna Aug. Is, 1919, by Pedrarias, the
Spanish governor. In exploring the
Pacific coast along the isthmus the
Spanish adventures found d. small
fishing village called Panama, and on
the date given above the governor es-
tablished his capital there. Two years
later, by royal decree, Panama was
made a city and the seat of a bishop.
Panama became the center for Span
ish explorations in North and South
America, and many expeditions were
sent out from there in search of gold.
1t was from Panama, in 1924. that
Pizarro began the voyage which end
ed in the discovery Of Peru. After
that Il highway was established across
the isthmus, following much the same
route as the Panama canal. and owe
this the wealth Of Peru was transport
ed to the Spanish treasure ships in the
Atlantic. To this day small sections
of paved road are to be seen as relics
of the old Spanish highway over which
so much treasure was carried.

Feet Versus the Pen,

In speaking of personal r]ecollections
of Dion Boucicault, Henry Miller dwells
upon his superb skill as a stage direc-
tor and tells Of the following incident,
which occurred during his first re-
hearsal under Boucicault:
II went to him direct from Augustin
Days management. Daily coached his
players to cross and recross the stage
during the progress of the play with
the idea that this continual moving
about of the actors created dramatic
action. During my first rehearsal l
made a DAILY cross as I spoke one of
my lines.
"'Why did you do that?' Boucicault
asked in his quaint, quizzical manner.
~ explained that Imagined it would
keep the scene moving.
""Thanks. my boy said Boucicault
dryly, but if I cannot interest the au-
dience with my pen I don't think you
can with your feet"
