 road outlet into the city are far moro valuable than the farm that is shut off from the city five months out of the year on account of impossible roads.
 "The farmer benefits by easier haul ing, cheaper transportation, time saw ing and better social conditions for his wife, children and self
 "The city benefits by cheaper prod uce, the opportunity for the rural resi- dent to get into the city and make purchases and the merchant in town can extend his zone of delivery far out into the country.
 "The best proof that good roads bring prosperity Is brought home to the very doors of Washington by comparison of the two states on the. borders of the District of Columbia.
 Maryland has practically finished a six-year job of good roads building. Virginia has hardly commenced. A two-hour automobile ride, say to Fred erick, Md, followed by two-hour ride through Virginia to Warrenton, will show contrast that is not hard to understand.
 Washington has profited greatly by the good roads to Frederick. It has brought thousands of dollars to this city.
 Within the past year a good road has been built to Fairfax, Va, which Is half way to Warrenton. Conditions for the better are noticeable along this stretch. Twenty-three more miles are needed to put Warrenton in close touch with the capital. A greater part of the amount necessary has been raised in the country district, the bal ance is looked for in Washington. Just how far the business and motorists in Washington will go along this line is problematical, but that Washington will profit by good road to Warren ton or any other Virginia town within a radius of fifty to one hundred miles is certainty. Making the path to ones door easy for the purchasers Is always good advertising. Helping build good road into the city that will bring thousands of buyers into town is surely making the path cas- ier.'

SECOND OPINION HANDED DOWN IN cRAlGHEAD COUNTY
 ROAD CASE.
SUPREME COURT so DECIDES
Claims Plans, Specifications, Surveys and Estimates Filed With County Court Should Have Been Made By
 State Highway Department.
Little Rock

Lllll6 IlOch.-
 The Supreme Court reaffirmed the decision handed down two weeks ago in the Alexander road law case from Craighead county, dissolving road improvement district organized under that act. The court again held that the plans, specifications, surveys and estimates filed with the county court should have been made by engineers of the state highway department.
 The court also handed down an opinion in the Wynne light and water district case. The act passed by the 1915 Legislature creating the pro- posed district did not meet the con- stitutional requirements providing for a way to ascertain whether a major fly of the citizens wanted the dis trict, the Supreme Court held In 1912 an effort was made to create similar district. The organization was declared invalid by the Supreme. Court A contention of persons fav- bring the district that the 1915 act validated the original district was overruled by the court, which held that it could not have such powers when the original district had been declared not to exist.
 Ihe suit was that of J. B. Ham1l- ton against the Board of Improve ment of Light and Water District No. 2 of Wynne. The Supreme Court re- versed the lower courts decision and remanded the case with instructions to the lower court to render a verdict in accord with the Supreme Courts opinion.
 Alfred Bolen, administrator Of the estate of Louis Bolen, deceased, of Searcy county, cannot collect from Louis Still, former proprietor of sa- loon, because Louis Bolen, after buy ing whisky from Still, drank it, be- came intoxicated, fell from his horse and was killed, the Supreme Court decreed.
 "It cannot be said that the action of the saloonkeeper, licensed to sell liquors, in selling two quarts of whis- ky to a man of reasonable intelli- 'ence, 56 years of age, and sober at the time, with nothing to indicate .hat the purchaser drank to excess, was guilty of such negligence as to entitle the administrator to recover damages for his death, caused by a fall from his horse while intoxicated from liquor purchased in the saloon," the court held.

ASPHALT OIL BEST ON ROADS
University of Missouri Engineering Dean Says Tests Show It Is su-
 perior to Anything Else.

The only kind of oil used in oiling streets or roads, in the opinion of Dean E. J. McCaustland of the school of engineering of the University of Missouri, should be an oil that con- tains asphalt. Oil that contains paraf- fin will evaporate rapidly and leave a road muddy and sticky.
 The engineering experiment station here has analysed many samples of road oils sent to the university from various parts of the state. Oil that has an asphalt base will give almost as much satisfaction as asphalt pave ment, is the opinion of Dean McCaust- land.

FARM NOTES

Next to grass the most important thing for live stock on the range is water and plenty of it well dis trfbuted.
 Colts should have regular grain ration daily. Less hay and some grain are more economical and will make better colt.
 The physical condition of the soil is of as great importance as the amount of plant food there. Fertilizers will not do the work of fitting the seed bed.

NEGROES almost immune
FROM Child PLAGUE

PHILADELPHIA, Pa Aug. 30
Fair-haired children are reported
greatly in the majority among those
stricken with infantile paralysis in
Chicago. according to a report by two
physicians in the Cook County Hospi-
tai there Local health officers have
not yet made such intensive study Of
details during the present outbreak Of
the disease.
Il do not know whether their con
illusions follow out in all cases or
not" said DR. Wilmer Krusen, Direc-
ton of the Department of Health and
Charities, although we have not had
time to study the characteristics Of
each child brought under our care. /
should Judge from their nationality
that the majority Of children in this
city stricken with the disease are
dsrk-haired and dark-complexioned
children
IF you have noticed the lists Of
cases reported each day YOU will find
that the great majority Of children
are either of Italian or Russian par
entage. There is also a great mixture
Of the Slav races. You will also
notice that there are very few Irish
and practically no negroes
I'VE know that the majority Of the
Italians and Russians have darker
features and hair than those of other
races. There have only been three
deaths among the negro population
during the present course Of the dis
ease, and SHOULD Judge, II anything
that the negro race was practically
immune from~infantile paralysis.
CAS- said before. we have not tsker
time TO 20 into those many details
that could be studied. We are more
interested Just now in getting the
children under medical care and max.
ing them well again. We will take uT
the other details later
