 at Lancheon Today.
GOOD ROADS WORKER Ee.s :;
 ALSO WILL ATTEND
Members of Committee in Charge of Plan for System of Highways North of River Invited to Meet With
 City Organization.

State senators and representative: from Jefferson and Lincoln counties will be guests of honor today, at noon at the Hotel Pines, at a luncheon to be given by a special committee of the chamber of commerce, and during which there will be discussion of the proposition to have the state legis- lature pass a measure providing for the payment of taxes in special levoe, drainage and road districts, by the state penitentiary farm properties.
 State Senator George R. Brown of Rison, whose district includes Lin- coin and Cleveland counties, State Senator Creed Caldwell of Jefferson county; Representative L. D. Cham bliss of Star City, and Representatives D. B. Niven. !. F. Magee and c. A. Newton of Jefferson county, will be the members of the state legislature who will enjoy the hospitality of the committee.
 It is planned to discuss the matter thoroughly, and to arrange for the preparation of the bill which the leg islature will be asked to make into law, and it is expected the affair will bring out plainly the need for the proposed movement.
 The members of the chamber of commerce special committee, recent ly appointed by President H. I. Hold erness, are as follows:
 Leo M. Andrews, w. N. Trulock, J. W. Gibson, Jr., w. F. Coleman, Ever ett Tucker, Fred Fox, J. c. White, w. T. Woodbridge, George H. Adams, Si- mon Bloom and Mack Hollis.
 Invite Road Committee.
 It was announced yesterday that the special committee, and the chamber of commerce, had extended an invitation to attend the luncheon, to County Judge L. E. Cheek and the members of the special committee or property owners of the northern end of the county, recently appointed to arrange the preliminaries for the organization of two big road improve ment districts in that county.

 This committee will meet at Judge Cheeks office this forenoon, and Sec retary | 5. Bloom will personally call there and present the invitation to the luncheon. Members Of the committee are interested directly in the plans of the chamber of com merce special committee, and hence their presence at the luncheon is de- sired, while the opportunity is pre- sented for the chamber of commerce to extend happy courtesy to some of the most prominent residents of the rural sections of the county. H,n opportunity not frequently at hand.

I hope it will be successful. Even if it does not lead to a protocol. the offer proves that Germany wants peace, even after victorious cam paign, and does not desire the further sacrifice of mankind, life and prop erty. Germany does want peace, and does not desire conquest. I can't say anything further about the terms"
 Entente Diplomats Suspicious.
 Entente allies regard the proposal as having double purpose, first, to place on the allies the responsibility for the continuance of the war, and second, for the impression it will create upon the German people that they are fighting defensive conflict against an enemy who refuses quarter.
 Coming immediately after the continuation of the triumphant Ru- manian campaign, the peace offer, entente diplomats say, is intended to impress the German people that they need have no lack of confidence ill the ability or their government to con- tinue the war.

Doubly Guaranteed Coffee
No Other Coffee Can Be Like the
 Old Secret Blend

When you buy French Market Coffee --the Old Secret Blend-a double guar antee goes with it-your grocer's and ours. That means you are assured fullest value before you buy.
 There's 8 hundred year old secret back of 1.-the secret of a unique blend of famous coftees from the best coffee growing countries in the world. More than this, there is also a secret grinding and roasting process-all of which brings to your table a guaran- teed coffee that is simply superb!
 No other coffee can ever be like French Market. Hundreds have tried to initiate it-but failed. It is the envy, admiration, joy and despair of the coffee world.
 A hundred years ago French Market Coffee was obtainable only at the Old French Market, New Orleans. Today it is sold everywhere to meet the big demand resulting from a century of such coffee goodness.
 Send 10c fo1. 12 cup samle and book let of the interesting story of Old French Market. We will also send names of grocers in your town who sell French Market Coffee.

RAILROADS, ASSESSMENT.

Little Rock, Dec. 1.-The state tax commission has just announced that the total assessment Of railroads in Arkansas for 1916 amounts to 1885, S62,376, as compared with sSe.519,- 091 for 1915, a reduction of $656,715. In explanation of the reduction Con- missioner Dye said:
 ''The assessments were made upon the basis of return made on Deem Der 31, 1915, before the present era of prosperity began. There never were so many demands, by all the roads, for reductions in the assess ments, and we consider that the re- suit is most satisfactory when it is that SO many trunk lines and short lines are in the hands Of receivers"
