MODEL ROADWAY
NOW BEING BUILT
Citizens Of BatesviIIe And Cave City
And Citizens En- Route Cooperating
In Road Building.

The public road from Cave City
is the most Travelled highway in
the county, and it is over this route
that the greater part of Batesville's
trade comes. For a long time the
farmers in Lawrence, Sharp, lizard
and those in northern Independence
county have travelled this road,
bringing thousands Of dollars annu-
ally to the merchants of Batesville,
and little effort was made during
those years to keep the highway in
good shape.
But now the merchants of Bates
vile have awakened to the import
ance of road improvement, and are
donating literally to the work of
making model highway to con-
meet this city with Cave City. In
this work our merchants have the
cooperation Of the Cave City mer-
chants and citizens, and the farm
ers living en- route. Through the
efforts of DR.. F. A. Gray, M. G.,
Weaver, w. A. Edwards and Fl. c..
Wade this advanced step has been
made possible.
Two weeks ago these gentlemen
began circulating a subscription
list securing funds to apply to this
improvement. Five hundred dol
lars was asked of Batesville. Three
hundred and fifty dollars of the
amount has been raised, with many
more persons to interview. Cave
City is to raise $500, and citizens
of that place are donating literally,
Already the road has been placed
in first class condition to Pfeiffer, a
distance of six miles, and some
work has been done by the farmers
living beyond that place.
Next week road experts from Lit
tie Rock will visit Batesville and
conduct a two days demonstration
with the road grader which is being
held by the county subject to pur'
chase. AT this time an effort will
be made to have many automobile
parties to 60 to the point where the
grader will be operated and witness
the demonstration. Judge Waldrir
says every road overseer ! n the
county will be present,
judge viii Horn Of Sharp county
has assured natesvilie citizens tha,
his county will continue the mode
highway to Evening Shade just az
soon as it is extended to Cave City
This move in the right direction
with modern road building shoult
attract the interest Of every wide
awake citizen, and the spirit shoult
not die until roads are built all owe
Independence county just like th'
one that will be d monument to thu
progressiveism Of Batesville ant
Cave City citizens and the induStrl
Gus farmes who live along the route

1.-THE WEST HAS SPOKEN"

The west has spoken. That is the great fact that stands out in the election returns which tell of President Wilson's victory in the closest and most exciting race ever known in American history. There are other facts to be sure and important ones. The hyphenates who tried to punish Wilson and seat a pre- sident who suited the wishes of Berlin have been rebuked. But the big, overwhelming thing is the transfer of political power from the east to the west, and incidentally, from the crowded industrial centerS to the small cities aud the farms. You eau travel in a straight line from Turkey Point, Florida, to Port Townsend, Washington, on demo- cratic soil all the way. Thanks to the decision of California, to whom may the fates be kind, you can travel due west from the Mississippi river to the Golden Gate in the same fashion, and the only break in the complete democracy of the Pacific coast is furnished by Oregon. It is the most amazing political revolution ever known in this country, and one of the most sanitary. It gives the west dominating posi- tion in Democratic councils. It wipes out the national influence of Tammany." ."-ChicagoJournal.

SUCCESSFUL FAIR.

The fair which came to a close yesterday added another success to the many Successful exposi- tions which have been given in Phoenix, of the products of Ari zona. It has become a common occurrence at the close of each state exhibition to designate it as the best ever held in the state.
 Sometimes the claim is deServ- ed and sometimes it is not justi- fled by actual facts. Tn most re- spects this latest one which has just come to an end may be ap- prOpriately classified as among the most successful ever held.
 The exhibits in some of the classes have fallen below those of some of the other years, while in others they have excelled former exhibits. The latter is particularly the case with the mineral exhibits. While most of the former exhibits have re- mained in place from year to year the present year bas seen many new ones added.
 This has been particularly the case with those from Mohave county, which alone added about six tons of ore to her exhibit, and which included samples from nearly every mine in that county.
 Some. of the other counties have also added to their exhibits and the mineral display this year was greater than ever be- fore, and was all embracing in the diversity of the ores shown.
 Ia point of attendance the management report it in excess of any previous year, despite the fact that the program of races was less interesting than has generally been provided be fore, though a good offering was made in this respect.
 Barring professional $ from all over the country, in tEe auto mobile races, and confining them to amateurs in the state, perhaps had the effect of drawing a few less from outside 1t added in terest to residents of the state. from the fact that it was known that they would not be outclassed by foreign cars specially built for racing.
 The free attractions have been unusually good and have given satisfaction to all visitors, espe cially the latest in the world of sports, auto polo, which has been conceded as the most thrilling and fascinating offering on the program of the week.
 On the whole the fair has pro- ven ap event which is highly complimentary to the manage ment, and it has closed without a hitch or accident t-Gazette.

CALOMEL SALIVATES
AND MAKES YOU SICK
Acts Like Dynamite on a Sluggish
Liver and You Lose a Days
Work.

There's no reason why a person
should take sickening, salivating cal
omel' when so cents buys a large bot
tie of Dodson's Liver Tone-a per-
feet substitute for calomel.
1t is a pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just as
surely as calomel, but it doesn't
make you sick and can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. It
is mercury and attacks your bones.
Take dose of nasty calomel today
md you will feel weak, sick and nau-
seated tomorrow. Don't lose a days
work. Take a spoonful of Dodson's
Liver Tone instead and you will wake
up feeling great. No more bilious
mes, constipation, sluggishness, head
ache, coated tongue or sour stomach.
Your druggist says if you don't find
Dodson's Liver Tone acts better than
horrible calomel your money is wait
ing for you.-Adv.

IL. STOKERS GIVEN
PAY INCREASE, REPORT

Reports from Japanese sources that
the. Inter-Island Steam Navigation

that the Japanese and Chinese fire
men have been granted a raise of $40
a month, from $40 to $50, and have
been allowed 80 cents an hour for
overtime work. There are 20 Japan
csc and 30 Chinese firemen in the
