MANY SHOW INTEREST
 IN BUILDING ROADS
Citize,s3 FEceza All Parto cf the
 County Witness Dernoas.ra- tioaRoadEu.l4ing Machinery

That the people of all parts of Independence county are beginning to awaken to full realization of the real value of good roads was proven last Tuesday when citizens from various parts of the county gathered near Pfeiffer to wit ness a demonstration of road building machinery.
 The citizens of BatesviIle, Cave City, and intermediate neighborhoods are interested in building a good road between those towns. The interest in this matter is not confined to those directly affected by the build ing of this road, as was shown by the large attendance from all parts of the county.
 The people are coming to consider the building of good roads as one of the vital prob lens of today-not of the fu- tuer, but now.
 Good roads meanmore to all the people of Independence county than any other one thing. The people are begin ming to realize this fact, and when they fully determine to BUILD GOOD ROADS they will find that the task is nei- ther so great nor so expensive as many have thought.
 The oil tractor and grader used for demonstration purpos- es showed what can be accom- plished in road building, and the many citizens who witness ed the demonstrtion were fully convinced that this is by far the best, fastest and most eco- nomical way to build roads.
 The cost of a power outfit similar to the one used is less than $2,500 and many believe it would pay for itself in one year. The tractor used was a 15 h. D. Rumley and it and the grader are offered the county for 2,290. A few of those who witnessed the demonstration thought the tractor a little light and favored a 20 h. p. but all admitted that it did good work under a test that would be hard to equal for severity at any other point in the county.
 A fine barbecue dinner was spread at noon near a spring on Blue Creek. Another "dem- onstra tion" then took place, in which everybody joined anG all the problems and troubles of the day Weer lost sightof for the t.me being and everybody enjoyed themselves.
 4 nu. !, ger OfNewark citizens were present, including Mayor J. II. Holderby, Road Overseer J. ". Sisk, C. P. Vaughan, pr. A. 4. Evans, E. B. Chesser, F.. c. Hoyt, o. F. Craig, G. O. Magness, T. J. Welborn, Wm. Moore, Dr. T. N. Rodman.
 0verseer D. E. Weaver, w. J. Walcs'ip and B. B. Owens of Magness and Overseer M. M. Rutherford of Craig, together with 2 number of Sulphur Rock citizens were present.
 The road overseers from more than half the townships in the county were present at the request of Judge Waldrip, and they were unanimous in the opinion that the county should purchase an oil tractor and grader. Judge Waldrip stated that he would probably buy such an outfit as soon as he was thoroughly convinced that it would do the work re- quired of it

been destroyed. Active campaigns are
still i'm progress in Arizona, New Mexico,
Montana and South Dakota, and in the
Rio Grande forest in Colorado.
The average cost of distributinG poison
on areas infested by prairie dogs has NOW
been reduced to less than five cents an
acre. In cases where rcinfestation has

an acre. Poisoned oats have been found

EXPORT TRADE Of
FRANCE NOT MUCH
AFFECTED BY WAR

Ppr;s. Jan. Ill That tho French ex-
port trado is not paralyzed by the war
and that in some Instances France is eX-
porting more products t!lan in peace time,
IS a curious and unexpected situation in
dictated IN recent reports of the minister
OF finance.
While France is buying in the sum this
wear of about two billion francs from the
United Statee. the money value of her ex-
ports to The United States have not fallen
off more than ten per cent. The United
States is Frances second best customer
at present. with England her best. The
war merely seems to have changed in
many cases the accustomed commercial
channels. For instance. Frenchman
wished recently to buy Irvine Of the Uni
ted States for use in the southern vino
yards to hold up the vines. Because Of
the lack of freight space in ships from
New York. and his hurry to secure posi-
tive delivery. he cabled 10 an American
firm I'm Manila. asking that the Irvine be
forwarded direct from there.
II is in the expectations of France TO
tho United States that may be seen sorno
odd phases of war business. Thus. on Il
ton months basis for table fruits her 1919
as for the present year France sold to the
United States in the sum of 1.1S7,0
francs. France sold to the United states
%,9l6.0o0 francs worth of perfumercs and
soaps, an increase of 1.23T.00 francs
over 1913. Her sales of milk, butter and
cheese have increased from 1.727, 900
francs in 1919 to 2.7S7,O00 francs for the
first ten months of 1919. Her human hair
IL.
as in other years being l.25S. 900 francs.
Her wine sales are almost normal. at s.
as 900 francs.
In the effort of her people to make up
for the enormous import bill. her sales OF
artificial flowers and fruits have jumped
to 5,l35,000 francs a sum almost twice
that of normal years. The same fact
holds good for fancy fans. buttons, brush
. cS and toys.
striking fact of comparison is brought
out in automobile sales. France bought
| 1o.4ol 900 francs worth of automobiles
and motorcycles during the first ten
months Of this year, as against 4,41S, 900
! francs in 1913. and she is selling to the
United States 2.461 900 francs worth.
While France is buying twenty times
as much grain from the United States as
normally. she is sending to the United
States twice much seed grain as in
1918. or in the sum of nearly $4,000, 900
francs.
Although France is buying twenty
times much leather goods from the
United States as in peace years. she is
nevertheless exporting to the United
states 6.0O00oO francs more of the same
| goods than she usually does

SEIZURE Of j. 5.
MAILS BY ENGLAND
FIRMLY PROTESTED

Washingtor. Ian "a hrm pro,cst
against the seizure and censorship of
American mails in transit between ueu-
tral ports and detained or otherwise IN
tcrrcrcd with by British authorities at
British ports has been made 10y tho tr-
ted States to the British government Tho
protest, cnuched in polite but viSorous Ian
guage. was sent under date Of January :
10 Ambassador Page at London. and has
already been delivered TO the British fo.'
eign off,ce. The text Of the mole VIII soon
he given out for publication.
The protest is the result Of tho action Of
British authorities in selling and exam
ming mails bound between this country
and neutral countries in Europe. most
of which were consigned via tho HOLLAND
American line to Rotterdam. 1t also APP.
plies to those European mails sent from
neutral ports in Europe destined for the
United States, which also nave neen seized
BY the British authorities.
The protest Is based on the principle
that the postal correspondence of ncu-
trails or hcllcereuts, whatever its official
or private character may be- when found
on the high seas on board a neEtral or
enemy ship. Is inviolablc. Tho British
government has acted Oh tho theory that
It has the :igh' TO examine and censor
mails oven when IN transit between nel'-
trial ports in all cases in which the sh;ps
carving these mails voluntarily enter
British ports
This is challenged Nv tho Crtcd states
government. which takes the position that
tho international postal convention ven
der such mails lnvioable.
