Little Rock, Dee. 2l The biennial report of the State Highway Com missioner, W. B. Owen, says. There has been collected and expended from the 3-mill tax during the last fourteen years about Sl3500,000. Out of this immense sum but little of what might be termed as per manenl road has been built. Some counties have assisted road im- provcment districts by by contri- buttons from this fund, but most of it was collected in such small amounts and expended in large ter rllories that it was impossible to do anything With if in the way of permanent improvement. However, the people arc so anxious for roads improvement that they still con- tinue to yole the 3-mil tax and seem Co be glad to get even the inn proYemenis they do under the pres ent antiquated system
 Constitution Amendment Mo- if. submitted at the last general elec- tloh, even tilOU2h the caUtl0n was misleading needed only a few more thousand votes to secure it's adop- ton, which shows that if the qies- tion of bond issue, properly limit cd and safeguarded, were submitted. it would be approved by the people of this state The people realize that good roads are a necessity. that the present system of filling mud holes vii not get good roads, and that if we are to meet future re- qHrements for permanent roads. it will be necessary to secure larger sums of money than can be ob- taincd each year from the 3-mill tax. Therefore we recommend a constitutional amendment similar to that submitted for adoption at the last election

q How to Cure, Smoke and Keep Hams, Shoulders and Bacon" bull lelin recently published by the Ex- tension Division of the University of Arkansas and written by Major Lawrence Foot, Special Agent in Marketing, is attracting a great deal of attention at this time among the farmers Of the state. In this bulIe- tin both the dry salt and the sugar cure methods for curing meat are described In discussing the cur ing of meat on the farm. Major Foot said. Arkansas farmers can make and cure hams and bacon just as good as the Virginians if they will use little care and precaution."
 "I believe that three to four weeks is too long a time in salt for up-to- date 'sugar-cured' breakfast bacon, say 1 inch to E inches in thickness 6 to 8 inches in width, and i5 to IS inches long. No doubt t is right for heavy bacon I would recommend the following for breakfast bacon: To every loo pounds of salt add 20 pounds of granulated white cane sugar (not beet sugar and ih pounds of saItpeter, mix all thoro- ly dampen the top side (not the skin sidcl lightly with water by us- ing a whisk broom dipped in water, then rub in by hand the top part with the above mixture, hard as al- So the edges and ends. Sprinkle bottom of box with the mixture. fay in the piece that is rubbed, skin down, and sprinkle with the salt mixture, giving a light coating on top, then another and so on. Every seven days from the day you packed. overhaul all, rub each piece again and resalt with the same mixture lightly each seven days. 1he bson that is 1 inch thick should remain in the mixture l5 days, The bacon that is iia inches thick should re- main in mixture 22 days.
 Then take out, wash thoroly, hang in smokehouse 2i hours to drain. and smoke to light chestnut Color"
 Farmers desiring copy of the bulletin written by Major Foot should write the Extension Division, Little Rock.

 Many a woman endures with noble patience the daily misery of backache, pains about the hips, blue, nervous spells, dizziness and urin- ary disorders, hopeless of relief be- cause she doesn't know what is the matter.
 It is not true that every pain in the back or hips is trouble peculiar to the sex" Often when the kid neys get congested and inhamed, such aches and pains follow.
 You can tell it is kidney trouble if the secretions are dark colored, contain sediment; the passages are too frequent or scanty. Then help the weakened kidneys. Don't ex- pect them to get we'll alone.
 Doans Kidney Pills have won the praise of thousands of women. They are endorsed at home-Read this Mena woman's convincing statement:
 Mrs. F. c Proctor, i1i2 Janssen avenue, Mena, says q suffered from soreness across my kidneys and nervous. My sight often blurred so badly I could hardly see and specks floated in front of me. I used only one hox of Doan's Kidney Pills be- fore I was relieved. My back lias not pained me isnce and all the other ailments have been relieved.

ARKANSAS TAKING TO AUTOS.
Increased From 5,6i2 in 1917, to l5,-
 700 in I9I6-Riq Jump Exnected.

Little Rock, Dec. 2l.-The in- crease in the automobiles owned in the state of Arkansas has been phe- nomenal. During the year 1914 there were 5,6i2 licenses issued In 1915 there were 8.02l, an increase of i2 per cent During the year of i9i6, there have been i5. .im issued an increase of 80 per cent.
 Should the same percentage of increase continue, it is estimated that fully 25,000 licenses will be is sued by the State Highway depart ment in 1917, and 10000 in 1918. On account of the increase in this work, lle Commissioner recommends that there should be an increase III the clerical force to take care of the business.
 It is recommended that all the money paid into the automobile fund should be paid into the state treasury Co assist in the Federal Aid, instead of paying half of it to the county.
 If is further recommended that the tax on automobiles should be according to horsepower, with an extra charge for auto stages and taXi-cabs.
 "lt is my opinion, says NIT Owen. that hundreds of auto owners by some reason fail to pro- cure licenses. The law should pro- vide for state inspectors, whose salaries should be continbent on the amount received in fees from d. Linauenls.n
